Ira POV

I dressed up in a peach colored Kurti and legging with a matching stole. I put extra work into getting ready, taking a cab to Arjun's home. Naina opened the door and looked at me with a friendly smile like always, which means she does not know about the little fight

Naina: Iru, you made it. When Arjun told me that because of an important meeting at the last minute, you might not be able to make it before he leaves

I looked at Arjun all dressed up with suitcases around him. Is he going somewhere without telling me because he is angry ?

Me: Can I talk to him alone ?

Naina: Your boyfriend is leaving and you want to steal some cute romantic moments, I understand 

She said that with the wink and took the kids with her. Arjun looked at me but did not say anything

Me: Are you going somewhere ?

Arjun: What are you doing here ?

He faced away from me and started clearing the play stuff off the couch which the kids left

Me: I wanted to talk to you 

Arjun: You wanted me to back off and I will. I intervene too much, I trouble your precious family and I bother you with my protectiveness isnt it ?

Me: Arjun ...

He was still going around the house tidying up, refusing to listen to me or give me his attention. He was tidying up the kitchen when I decided that I had to tell my piece even when he is making it difficult. I walked towards him, hugging him from the back and taking in his scent. He stopped what he was doing and stood still when I did that.

Me: I know you had pure intentions when you tried to help me out. Arjun, I have always been independent my whole life and I always have handled things alone, it is a different thing ofcourse that I could not get rid of my parents toxicity. 

Me: I did not want you to be involved in my dysfunctional crappy family stuff. I wanted to keep you away from it. I already came with a lot of insecurities and trauma that you would have an effect on every now and then, I did not want you to be exposed to them. They continued to mentally torture me till now because I walked out of a marraige with a guy they choose, I did not want them to harm you for black mailing them or trying to make them homeless. I appreciate the gesture, I really do but even I am protective of you, our relationship and I dint want their evil shadow on us. I wanted to hide you away from them but you went and did your dance in front of them.

Arjun, sighed and turned towards me. He held my face in his hands and kissed me softly on my forehead

Arjun: I am sorry for not considering your thoughts, feelings and emotions. I should not have said that you crave for your mother's approval. If you did, you would not have walked out from your relationship or their home, that was very rude of me

Me: I told you to back off, that was rude too. Never back off, be there with me, walk right along side with me

Arjun: Well, you can take care of yourself but I cannot stop myself, I need to open the doors for you, I need to protect you from all the ugly stuff and I need to ensure you are safe, secured and happy. I can be over bearing I know but I cannot help it

Me: No one has been there for me before Arjun. May be my dad but that was years ago. Its all new for me, someone fighting my battles, someone raising a voice for me, someone who would fake my signatures on fake marraige certificates 

Arjun: Meera told you about that ?

I nodded and he ran his fingers through his hair

Arjun: It's bad I know I ... 

I held his hand and kissed him on the back of my palm 

Me: Its okay I guess 

He gave a relieved smile and hugged me to himself 

Me: Are you going to tell me where you were off too 

Arjun: I was going to tell that when we decided to dine in. This new project I am assigned I need to go to UK for a couple of weeks 

Me: What ? how many days exactly ?

Arjun: Well 2 weeks or 3 depending on my work 

Me: Arjun ... 

Arjun: Sorry 

Me: I am coming to the airport

Arjun: Okay 

We both were in the car and I rested my head on his shoulder 

Me: Were you serious about getting married to me? You introduced yourself as my fiancee to my family

Arjun: I love you and I do want to get married to you someday when you are ready and we are in that place

Me: Marraige scares me

Arjun: I know, believe me when I say this. We will make it work 

Me: Its not about marraige but the commitment and the work it takes. People like each other when they get into a marraige but with time, their habits, likes, dislikes, complicated situations makes them prone to marital disturbances and differences. We cannot really predict how our relationship might change once we are hitched right ?

Arjun did not say anything for the rest of the ride, I could see he was thinking and when we dropped him at the airport too he was quiet but right when he had to go in he turned back and popped a question

Arjun: Iru, how about we live together ?

Naina looked shocked at his question and took the chatty kids away from us while I looked equally shocked

Arjun: Think about it Iru, we could know our habits, our preferances, managing our work and personal life, making up after fights everything. We could even see if we would remain compatible and continue to have that spark 

Me: I dont know what to say 

He smiled softly at me and stepped closer to me. He did something entirely different after looking into my eyes. He kissed me on my cheek and I felt sparks shooting down my whole body

Arjun: Hope that would give you the clarity

He smiled and walked away while I held my cheek with my hand still feeling his lips on it

Damn, I never felt this before
