ARHAAN'S POV
"I fucking asked you why you said only few months" I asked
"I'm only in Canada for a few months before heading back to Amritsar to continue my life there" She said
"Oh, now I understand. Chirag was right; you're getting married, forgetting everything, even our parents' promise, our love, our time together, our moments—everything"
As I asked this question, she abruptly stopped the car with a jerk, realizing that I was aware of the wedding.
"Wait, what? Chirag told you that I'm getting married? When, why, and how the hell did he find out?" she said
"I guess I have my answer. Just once, Twinkle, did you ever think about us? We were so in love. Or have you completely forgotten what we had and what we have?" I said
"No, it's not like that, AK. It's just that my mom and dad want me to marry the most suitable person in the business world. They think he's the perfect match for me because he's calm and understanding"
She was about to say something, but I cut her off and said
"Just the opposite of me. Who will trust you? Who will not break your heart? Damn it, Miss Taneja, will he be able to love you with the same passion I do? Will he?"
I shouted she took off her seat belt and went out the car, sat on car's bonnet and started crying I came out of the car and went towards her and asked
"Now, why are you crying? I should be the one crying upon hearing this news, Miss Taneja." I said sarcastically
"What do you think, AK? Is it easy for me to forget you, forget us, everything we had between us, or maybe whatever we still have between us? That's the only thing that will never let me live peacefully with someone else" she said between her sobs
"My love for you was pure, selfless, and unwavering against all odds. It was the only thing I had. I was only 13 when I first saw you, thinking it was just a crush. By 15, I realized it was genuine love. At 21, you lashed out, accusing me of cheating, leaving me in confusion. Did you really love me or was it just attraction? Since then, I've doubted everything. Was it real?"
"What do you mean by WAS IT REAL" I asked
"Everything we had—our love, our chemistry, our time, our moments—everything is included in it, AK" she asked
"You're doubting my love and care for you? Damn it, Miss Taneja, your number has been saved as 'MY WIFE' since day one. There was no one before you, there will be no one after you. It's always been you and only you. My love and care for you were never fake, and they will never be, babe" I said
"I don't know, AK, if it's real or not. Mom and Dad didn't send me here for a trip or to meet my friends or brother. They sent me here either to start a new life with VIDYUT RAJDHAR or to come to a beautiful conclusion with YOU" she said
"I never came here for fun, Arhaan. I can't find any joy in my life until I reach a conclusion"
"I loved you, AK. I love AK, and I'll always love you, AK"
"But I'm terrified of enduring another heartbreak from you. I'm at a loss for what to do. It's like I'm stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by endless water with no way out and no land in sight."
She said, her tears falling, each drop piercing my heart with pain. Knowing I'm the cause of her tears fills me with immense agony.
"You want closure, right? I'll help you find it. I'll do everything to win you back. I'm at fault, babe. I'm your criminal, darling. I'll do whatever it takes to make you mine again, but this time you won't just be my girlfriend—you'll be my love, my wife, Mrs. Twinkle Arhaan Kapoor, darling"
"It will take time for me to trust you again. I didn't accuse you, Twinkle, but I saw pictures of you and Faiz together"
She stood before me and delivered a resounding slap to my left cheek.
I closed my eyes in frustration, realizing that my anger was only pushing her further away. I needed to understand the real reason behind her perceived betrayal, or perhaps, fabricated betrayal.
I trust my love for her; she would never betray me for someone who is a bloody bastard
In the background, I heard...
"You deserve more slaps, Arhaan Kapoor. But I can't help it. You need to hear the truth; maybe it will change that bloody mindset of yours"
Mayra shouted
"The truth! Which truth are they talking about, Twinkle? Huh? The truth that you cheated on me? I'm insane for choosing to love you, while you chose to cheat. Maybe later your conscience rose up again and realized that you loved me, but Faiz was just an infatuation. Or maybe it's something else entirely"
"Arhaan, you're overstepping your bounds. You can't jump to conclusions when you're not aware of the truth"
Mayra snapped back and was about to say something again but Twinkle spoke in the middle
"Yes, I cheated on you because I fell out of love. And I'm here now just because of my guilt"
I locked eyes with her directly, with an intense gaze that softened her rage-filled eyes, and said,
"Are you sure you cheated on me? Are you sure you fell out of love? Are you sure you're here out of guilt and not love? Because the tears in your eyes and the loud heartbeat are telling me something different"
