𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍 We reached home safely, Rudra didn't want to leave me even when I was with Rishi, so did Srisha. They both left few minutes ago. Rudra offered ride to Srisha back home, I knew she was on seventh cloud even though she didn't told me.
Rishi and I were in my room in complete eerie silence. I was too shocked to speak till now. The whole incident shook my soul. And worst part is I like guns but gunshot sounds just terrify me.
"I should leave you to alone to rest" he said to me. He didn't said anything after we came home, he simply stood in front of my bed while Srisha and Rudra told me to take care of myself. I leaned against the headboard and rest my head at back only to realise tears rolling down my cheeks.
I haven't spoken anything yet. Just a gunshot sound and I get flashback of that incident. Her lifeless body infront of my eyes, bleeding from her head. It made me want to throw up.
I didn't want him to leave me. I was scared that again out of nowhere there will be firing or any attempt to kill me. I looked at him "Can you please stay here with me, What if someone tried to kill me again-" A sob left my mouth, he rushed towards me. "-What if someone shoots again.. What if I-" die.
He hugged me before I complete my last sentence. I felt so helpless and miserable at the moment. "Princess.. I don't know if you trust me or not but believe me I will kill those people for you, and trust me I won't give them an easy death" his words soothed the burning sensation in my heart. His words felt like but still stings hard in my chest with the thought what if he takes back his words. "Every single thing that bothers you I will burn that up for you"
My heart which told me 'this is wrong' and I answered 'I know'. He rubbed small circles on my back. I completely leaned against him. "I'm sorry..I'm such a burden for you instead of just being a client"
"No you are not.. Even if you are I'd carry you till my last breath happily" he rests his chin on my shoulder.
My eyes shot up realising what he said. My eyes searched his, he wasn't lying.. the softness and vulnerability of his face were too true to be denied.
How can I not love him?
I don't know if it's right time to confess but I cannot live with this ache in my heart. Even though every cell in my body knows that he loves someone else I cannot resist myself from loving him. The way he calms me down, the way his words feel like heaven, the way I crave for his touch it just makes it hard to live.
I cannot betray his feelings by hiding the truth, the contract doesn't states my future happenings at all, he doesn't have any kind of idea of who am I.
"You shouldn't be saying something you don't mean.." I muttered. I pulled back from the hug and sat up straight facing him. I wiped my tears with back of my hand. He entwined our hand in front of us.
I know I said 'I can live without having him but I cannot live with his rejection' but NO I was wrong. I cannot live without him in any part of the world.
