Aditya's pov:

It's been a long time and I guess this is the right time Ishika should know about the truth. She will forgive me , I know it , was all past.

While I was driving back home from the office I kept thinking about how I was going to tell her about all of this.

I was so confused , what if she gets mad at me , or leaves me but she can forgive me too. "Kya soch rahe ho Aditya?" Baba asked.

I turned my face looking down and said "Baba , I'm so confused"

"About what?" He asked.

"Baba mujhe Ishika ko sab kuch sach sach batana hai but-" he stopped me and said "Do you think you are ready for this?"

As always he cuts me off whenever I try to make a conversation with him.

I nodded.

"Good then talk to her. She's an understanding woman. She will get it and forgive you"

I again nodded.

Soon we reached home and I went upstairs. It was almost 8:00 pm and when I opened the door I saw Ishika folding the clothes.

I went and hugged her from behind. I held her waist tightly and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"Hi sweetheart" I said softly while she just continued folding the clothes. "So did you enjoy your hangout?" I asked her again and she just hummed.

"What's wrong baby" I asked her. She suddenly turned around and asked "Umm Aditya is there anything you're keeping from me. Any secrets?"

Oh God.

I gulped hard and shook my head.

"Okay. Mujhe tumse kuch puchna hai" she said.

"Yeah go on" I said taking off my tie I felt like it was choking me. I felt so breathless.

"Do you know Avesh singh?" There was sarcasm on her face I can see it clearly.

"Um I've heard his name but I don't really remember him" Avesh Singh whom I killed 5 years back and Veer Singh's father.

Veer and I were real enemies in the college and that made me even more to ruin his life , taking his father's life makes me realise what I've done to him. I was traumatised when I murdered his father , it made me realise whom I was turning into.

Avesh was right but I was a beast 5 years past but Ishika made me a human. She made me believe in love , in Life.

"Aditya. What are you thinking?" I heard her voice and i looked at her. Oh God I can't even look into her eyes. I feel like I'm a criminal.

She smirked and I saw pain in her eyes.
"You're so scared I can see in your eyes" she said.

I sat on the bed and covered my face with my hands.

"You don't know Avesh Singh?" She asked again. I looked upwards at her and smiled shaking my head.

"STOP LYING. You murdered him?" She said and I just freezed at my place. How does she know.

"You must be thinking how do I know about this. I met Aastha today in the mall , she kept telling me about her dad , that how you killed him. Aditya just tell me it's a LIE" she said with a lots of expectations in her eyes and her eyes were almost filled with tears.

"Okay. Come here , mujhe kuch batana hai tumhe" I held her hands and made her sit beside me.

"Ishika. Please just listen to me carefully , and try to forgive me please" I said and she looked at me with a confused face.
