Rishi pov
never in my entire life did i think I would be in a room with aditi, ALONE with a single bed.
I want to talk to her but she just keeps ignoring me, it's been 1 hour since she is in the bathroom
i know, she is there only to avoid me.
but I need to clear my head especially after what manas Bhai told me that day
flashback
" Do you love her?"
"Bhai bu- "
" Do.you.love.her?"
"Yes"
"That's it you have your answer, you love her, love does break you, but it also what heals you, until and unless you talk to her, you won't be able to take out the guilt from your body, she might hate now you but she loved you at some point in her life and that is enough for you to fight for her"
(Ye mujhe koi bolde, main uss aadmi ke charno main gir jaun bhai fr)
Flashback end 😨
I pretended to sleep by switching my light off, i knew she would come as soon as I do that, and she did
She was walking slowly trying not to wake me up
She went towards the cupboard to take her necklace off
i went towards her
I wrapped my arms around her from behind, I felt a rush of warmth and closeness as soon I did that,
I was scared that she might push me, kick me , hate me, but i wasn't going to give up
With her back pressed against my chest, I could feel the steady rhythm of her breathing, and it was as if our hearts were beating in sync.
The softness of her hair brushed against my cheek, In that moment, everything else faded away, and all that mattered was the connection we shared in that simple embrace.
She slowly turned her head around, she did not look shocked or even slightly surprised, it was as if she this coming
As soon as she turned her face towards his, his heart broke into a million tiny pieces
she was crying.
"why?"
that's all he had to hear from her to make his eyes tear up too
" You have no idea who much i have missed you, how many times I had tried to call you, I missed you so fucking much my love, i know sorry won't fix anything but that's all i have to say, I did not want to leave you like that, without any goodbyes, but I had no other choice-"
"What the fuck do you mean you had no other choice? You couldn't tell me, o-once, n-n-ot even once, you could have just said bye and I would have lived with that, but yo- you"
she was hitting me on my chest, with her hand that now held no power, she was just crying,
"my grandmother died"
that's all i could say, i saw her eyes slightly widened.
" You are the only girl i allowed my grandmother to see, she liked you without you even knowing, i would call her all night and tell her about you, and on one such night, i realised i was the only one talking on the phone, there was no voice from the other side"
"rishi- i- i am, i don't know what to say"
"I had to rush to her immediately, my father and my step mother were more scared about the property than my grandmother, they both forced me to get the property papers signed from her because they knew I was the only one my grandma would do anything for , i got them signed while she was slow- slowly di- dying , i felt nothing but guilt after i got those papers signed from her, I hated myself, I could not look at anyone in the eyes, i could not even look at myself in the mirror, i hate myself aditi, how do you think I would have been able to love someone else?, i could not bear the thought of you being with another man but I wasn't a better man myself, you deserved your prince charming, and I was far away from being one, i still am"
