Obscure Truth

11. Perfect

"odhungi aise main tujhko piya,
sardi mujhko satayegi kaise,
tujhko lagaungi aise gale,
koi ghum ho jata hai jaise"

Noor's pov:-

I was overwhelmed with everything he did for me today. Was I worth that love? Everyone I ever loved left me and that's the sole reason I never tell my friends about how grateful I'm because they are in my life fearing they will leave me too one day.

This man right here wants to break the boundaries I've built around my heart so bad and he's achieving.

All those things he said about taking my parents permission touched me so deeply. He cares. He cares about me, about my thoughts, about my feelings.

The blowing wind was an indication of my parents saying that I should move ahead with my life leaving all the fears in the past.

I stepped towards him and hugged him tightly wrapping my arms around his torso. Within a second, he too wrapped his arms around my body. I felt completed. Is this the peace everyone talks about?

Dismissing the hug, he looked at me lovingly. "I will fulfil all your dreams. I want this smile to never leave your face. Your smile gives me peace. I want to tell you what wonder you are. Your existence makes my world shine. You are a ray of sunshine in my dark world." He said making butterflies dance inside my belly.

"Mr. Rathore..." "Avyaansh... call me Avyaansh." I started but he cut me off. "Av..Avyaansh I..." his name rolled out of my tongue as if it was meant to be called by me. The look in his eyes changed when I called his name. His name felt even more beautiful.

"Avyaansh are you sure? This is not a game. I've never been into situations like these. I have always ran away from love, relationships and commitments. I am a problematic girl. The girl you fell in might be laughing all the time but the girl I am has her own problems. Since my father left me I've never known what it feels like to be loved by someone else. You might feel I changed once we start being with each other more. You deserve better Avyaansh. The better who's not me." I said revealing my own insecurities in front of him. I like him but I know I'm problematic and it would create issues for him and right now I'm not selfish to keep him with me despite knowing my flaws.

All this while when I was blabbering he kept looking at me with some strange expressions. I couldn't fight out what he was thinking. Maybe that I'm write and he should leave me but will he actually stop making his efforts beca of what I said? Will my theory of me being alone will be true once again? I was thinking all this when suddenly two palms cupped my face lovingly and affectionately.

"Kitna bolti hain aap! Kabhi sochiye bhi toh sahi bol rahi hain yaa galat. I don't think you understand how beautiful you make my world, just by existing in it. I never wanted a perfect life partner, heck I never wanted someone in my life but your entry changed everything. I dream of being with you. I'm not perfect neither do I expect you to be. I wanna grow with you by my side. I wanna draw stars around your scars. I wanna give you all the love you missed out in the past. I don't believe an individual can be perfect for itself but for me you are. You're the only imperfect I would happily give away all the perfects for." He said making me stunned.

No words came out. I just stood there looking at him. Tears flew out my eyes. He stepped forward still cupping my face and leaned a little to kiss my forehead. My eyes automatically closed embracing the warmth his actions provided. I let more tears flow out.

"I'm scared Avyaansh. Scared that you'll also leave me if I get close to you. Nahi dekha hai maine pyaar. I can't be loving, caring and good all the time, I can be cold at times, tough to understand and thoughtless. You'll be fed up one day-" "My feelings for you aren't that weak ki aap kuch bolengi aur hume bura lge aur hum chale jaaye. Ye zindagi hai, perfect hoti nahi hai banani padti hai and hume aapke saath ke alawa abhi kuch nahi chahiye ise apni life perfect banane ke liye" I started but he cut me off in between.

"Aap apne aap ko mauka toh dijiye, you deserve it. All of the love in this universe, you deserve it." He said. "Aur agar sab kharab hogya toh?" I asked. "Jis din inn aankhon mein humari wajah se aasu aaye, vo din humari zindagi ka aakhri din hoga." He said making me look at him with wide eyes.

"I..." "Bas ab bohot ro liya aapne baaki ki baatein hum krlenge pehle aap idhar aaiye." He said guiding me towards the tent set up. We sat there and I looked at the delicacies present, it was all my favourite. Having a little food we sat there looking towards the sky. He was holding my hands.

"I think... I think I'm ready." I said suddenly and he turned his face towards me in a second. "Look I don't wanna force you." He said being unsure about what I said.

"Like you said you feel something, I felt something too but wasn't courageous enough to say that maybe because of my fears but I am sure now. I want it to be you. After what you did today I have no doubts." I said making him smile widely. He hugged me tightly.

While hugging him, I looked towards the sky and saw a shooting star. I guess my parents are happy with my decision. I closed him eyes and wished for our future from the star.
