Muskaan's POV

"After six months of admitting to college,  one day, I went to her apartment to surprise her. And guess what, I got a surprise in return. I unlocked the door with my keys. I heard some noises from her room. I went there, and I caught Akash and her having sex on the same bed we shared. "

I  pressed my mouth with my palm in shock.

"Both of them could sense my presence. But they didn’t stop. They completed their sex and then both of them sat beside each other and looked at me. I was silent the whole time. I thought I could get an explanation from them. But No, they didn’t even show a little bit of guilt. They didn’t even say sorry to me. It felt like they were prepared for this type of something to happen. I just asked her if he was the guy she lost her virginity to. Without any hesitation, she said yes. And then everything was clear to me. Both of them had a relationship behind my back after I introduced them. And I was a fool who didn’t understand anything. I just asked Akash how he could do that with me. And he replied that I made it a big issue. He behaved like it was not a thing to be angry. The main thing is she used me for her wants. Whenever she wanted something, I presented that in front of her. I was blindly in love with her."

"It was okay if she betrayed me, but my brother, my best friend, betrayed me with her. I  trusted them. I was angry. I punched him. I kicked him, but I didn’t give a glance at her. I came out from there. I drank alcohol that night. I drove my car without my senses and had an accident. I was injured and Babasa came to the hospital. I cried in his embrace. He knows everything till now. He never said to anyone about this, not even to Maasa.But he is still angry with me because I lost my senses for a mere girl. The accident could kill me. He is still angry with me because how I couldn’t know her real intention. It was not a good quality for being a King. We had a good father-son duo. But after that incident, we separated from each other. Then I went to London for my further studies and never looked back. "

A question is now killing me inside. I held his hands.
"Was the girl is Sana?"

He nodded.
"Yes."

My mouth becomes open.
"Then why did you attend their wedding? "

"Because I didn’t want to show them that they affect me now. But the best part is  I found you there."

I smiled.

"I didn’t know that you were a princess or not. When I first saw you, I felt that I still had a heart in my body. A heart that can still beat for someone. And then Shreyansh introduced you to me,  then I got to know You're his sister. Trust me, Muskaan, I started loving you the moment I saw you. But my past, the betrayal haunted me always. I couldn’t be capable of trusting someone again. Then Babasa told me that Maasa wanted you as my wife and you are the best person to be my Queen." He chuckled.

"But I never thought that you would accept the proposal because I'm an old man for you." Now we both laughed.

"And I never thought that Shreyansh would let you marry me. But even after everything, we got married. But I couldn’t give you the things you deserve. My past, the betrayal never let me step forward in our relationship. I thought I would never trust someone again. Never love someone again. But you are the light who makes my dark life shine. I'm extremely sorry. I was an asshole at that time. I couldn’t-"

I pulled him in a hug.
"Shh. It's okay. It's okay now. It was normal to behave like that after all of this. I can't even imagine how you control yourself after all. It is really hard to trust someone after this type of betrayal. Listen, I'm with you now. There is no fear now. "

He looked at me with his teary eyes. I never saw him crying.
"Tell me, Sweetheart. You will always be with me. You will never leave me."

I hold his hands tightly.
"I'll never. How can I leave this old man whom I fell in love at first sight?"

"Huh?"

"Yeah. I fell in love with you when I saw you for the first time. When Bhaisa introduced you to me. But I never thought that in a few days, your family would come with the proposal. I was on air at that time. I DIDN’T even think for once to say yes." he chuckled.

We both said in unison.
"I love you."

I never thought I'd confess to him like that.

He pulled me in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart. You've to tolerate so many things for me. "

We broke the hug, and I wiped his tears. He also wipped my tears. I don't even know when I started crying.
"It's okay. Everything is okay now. There is no need to think about the past now. It's only you & me now. Okay? "

He nodded.
"I love you."

"I love you too." saying that I pulled him in a kiss.

~

He is sleeping peacefully in my embrace like a baby. I couldn't sleep anyhow. I just hold him and caress his hair.

I can't even imagine how he tolerated everything alone. He suffered everything alone. How can a brother betray his brother? How can a girl betray the boy who loved her so much?

Is it so easy to deny someone else's love? Only He suffers everything. If I were in his place, I Don't think I would live till now.

I'm feeling like a culprit right now. I never tried to understand his situation. I always pointed out his faults.

Right now, I just wanted to kill those two people. But No, I can't let them enter his life again.

He deserves everything. I will love him with everything I have. This man is mine now. Only Mine.
