Just This Once

Prologue

Arushi

"Dear Akshat,

I really wish I could stop.

I don't want to do it this way.

I don't want to do it.

I am sorry.

I wish I could just stop.

I am doing this for your sake and mine.
Please don't hate me. Please.

I wish to be with you forever, but I can't. I have to go.

I know you'll try to find me but, please don't try to find me because I'm going far, so so far. But I promise I'll be safe.

Wherever I go, I'm going to have a part of you forever within me. I'm taking some of you with me. You can't imagine how much I'm going to miss you.

I haven't said it out loud, but you know I love you right?
Yes, I do. I wish I could say that to you by myself and not by a simple letter.

I was starled when you spoke your feelings and I couldn't say anything. Just because I was shocked not because I don't feel the same for you.

I could not even look at you, the hurt in your eyes, the pain on your face, I can't see it Akshat.

I'm so so fucking sorry I'm saying it this way, but......

Mr. Akshat Shukla, I love you, to the moon and back.

Forever yours,
Arushi "

By the time I completed the letter, I was already a crying mess. I wiped my tears but they are not stopping. How would they? I'm leaving the love of my life while he's asleep.

I went to his side, kept the letter on the bedside table.

I turned to look at him, and the tears flowed again.

There he is, sleeping with almost a broken arm, bruised face, bursted lip and I'm leaving him like this. I'm a horrible person.

But I can't afford to see more of this. I..... I'hv to leave him. I don't know if I'hv trust them or not, but if I could save Akshat, I'm ready to take the risk.

Feeling heavy beneath the emotions, I can't drop myself from going, I'hv to go.

I traced my fingers over his cheekbones puffed red, his jaw black and blue, his.....

Dammit Arushi. Fucking stop this. You're making it difficult for yourself.

I bent down to kiss his forehead, lingering my lips longer than necessary.

I got up before I lose it. I walked to the door, grabbing my suitcases, ready to go.

With tearful eyes, I took one last look at him and left the room. Walking straight to the door, I left the house.

I'm sorry Akshat.
