Their LOVE

It hurts!

She had got to know that he was angry. She ran towards him and back-hugged him. "Stay away, Mannat." He said but she didn't reply. She tightened her hold around him. His anger started vanishing due to her touch. "Dheer! I am sorry but tell me what happened?"

He turned around to face her and said, "I am sorry, Mannat. I shouldn't have got angry." He was about to go but she held his wrist. "Let me go, Mannat!" But she stopped him and said, "First tell me the reason for your anger, then you can go wherever you want."

He moved towards her and looked into her eyes, "It hurts, Mannat. Whenever you talk to some other guy, it hurts. I am your boyfriend but I want to preserve you just for me. I am sorry for my possessiveness but I can't help it. I don't want to cage you. Instead, I want you to fly with your wings wide open but seeing you with another guy breaks my heart. I have never been this possessive about a person but you have changed me. I can't stop my possessiveness. Please, never leave me, Mannat. I would die." He said and she hugged him tightly. He reciprocated the hug. "I want to tell you something." She said and he hummed. They parted and she sat on the couch. He sat beside her. "I am an orphan." She said making him shocked. "But, that day..." He was saying but she cut him off saying, "They are not my real parents. But they've cared for me more than my real parents. They are Tridha's parents. I was Tridha's classmate. We have always been like sisters. I didn't have my family. So, her parents adopted me. They have always loved me. I've never felt that I am an orphan as they didn't let me feel that way."

"But, your real parents!"

"It's a fact that I was separated from my parents, not only parents, but my family, my brother." She said and hugged him. Her eyes were heavy with tears but she started crying when he said, "Cry it out, baby. Don't keep it inside and tell me whatever you want to. I am never going to judge you."

She cried and he made her sit on her lap.

She then looked at him and said, "And Avyansh, it's true that I met him in that meeting but I have always felt comfortable with him. On that lunch day, I called him my bhai and he appreciated that. From that point on, he has always been my brother. He never let me feel that void in my heart. And we have talked a lot. But, one more thing is there, that I asked him to find my parents. He's doing that. That's why, I called him, today. There's nothing more to it."

"Okay. I am sorry. I misunderstood you." He apologised cupping her face.

"Yes, apology accepted! And how can I think about another guy when I have such a handsome and loving boyfriend?" She said and kissed his nose. She giggled and he asked, "What happened yesterday?"

"I...I have a memory from my past, my childhood. Yesterday, you called me Heer and in that memory, a boy was calling me Heer. I think, my real name is Heer!" She said but he suddenly licked her cheek making her shiver under his touch. He then took it between his lips and suddenly bit it between his teeth.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" She yelled pushing him away from her cheek.

"Your cheek looks so adorably eatable!" He said making her blush.

"This blush! It suits you a lot, Heer!" He said caressing her cheek with his hand.

"Why are you calling me Heer?" She asked confused.

"Because you are! My Heer! Dheer ki Heer! And no matter what your name is. A name never matters, but a person does." He explained pulling her closer by her waist. He kissed her forehead and said "My Heer!"

Then, he kissed her closed eyes stating, "My Amber." Her eyelids lifted.

He pecked her nose and both cheeks declaring, "My penguin."

He kissed her chin saying, "My Lilac."

He then looked at her lips and then at her eyes. His eyes drifted between her lips and eyes. He leaned in closer to her lips. Their noses touching and breathing mingled with each other's. Her eyes got closed. "May I?" He asked, his lips just an inch away from hers.

"I am too young to carry a child." She said in a teasing way.

"There's a long way to go for that, Penguin. First, let's reach the first destination. Let me taste your tempting lips." He said but she didn't respond. He thought she was not comfortable. So, he moved away from her lips and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

She looked at him and pulled him closer wrapping her arms around his neck. She immediately joined her lips to his. As their lips met, time seemed to pause. The world around them faded into a blur, leaving only the electric connection between them. His eyes widened as he stilled at his spot. She started kissing his upper lip. He got out of his trance when she bit on it. He started kissing her softly. His lips were soft, tender, and inviting, moving gently against hers. She felt a warmth spread through her, starting from the delicate touch of their mouths and radiating through her entire being. His hands on her waist pulling her closer and her hands in his hair playing with his locks. He sucked her lower lip softly and lovingly. The kiss was slow and sweet, filled with unspoken promises and a profound depth of emotions. After some time, he broke the kiss. They were breathing heavily and he joined their forehead. He expressed, "Your boldness, it'll be the death of me, Amber!"

"You are my comfort zone, Dheer! I can never feel uncomfortable with you." She whispered and he pecked her lips saying, "Your Dheer!"

She glanced at him and queried, "Why didn't you say 'My Mannat'?"

He held her face lovingly and explained, "You are my world, Mannat. So, I am yours!"

She placed a smooch on his cheek and whispered in his ear, "Then, I am yours as well!"

"Are you still mad?" She asked.

"No! Why would I be? My girlfriend has endured so much and I misunderstood her. So, I am sorry, Amber!" He said.

"You have made so many mistakes, you know!" She said.

"Yes!" He replied.

"But every mistake is related to me. But you didn't tell me, why you yelled at me on the call? You don't want to get married, so why am I your girlfriend?" She asked.

"That day, everyone was forcing me to get married. I thought they were trying to control me and I don't like to be controlled until it's my queen! It was an outburst. I am sorry. But your SIR thing had irritated me for real." He said and she giggled listening to the last sentence.

"Exactly. That was the intention." She said stroking his hair.

He got up and took a bath. She had brushed and washed her face. She was in the kitchen, making breakfast for them. After taking a bath, he looked at himself in the mirror and remembered her soft hands locked in his hair during the kiss. He smiled memorising it. He got ready and came to her in the kitchen. He slipped his arms onto her waist back hugging her.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Sleeping!"

"While standing. You surely have sleep-walking!"

"What can I do about it?"

"You can't do anything. Just sleep, baby." He said teasing her more. She looked back at him and sighed.

He held her from her waist and made her sit on the counter.

"I'll make the breakfast, as promised to my girlfriend." He said focusing on making the breakfast. She bit her lip to control the smile.

"Don't bite your lips. I'll do it, later. If you are that hungry, you can eat chocolates but don't snatch my job." He said, sarcasm evident in his voice.

She immediately stopped biting her lips and looked at him admiringly. He was keenly focusing on the breakfast.

"Don't eye-rape me, darling!" He said, putting their breakfast on plates.

'Darling' word made a red hue on her cheeks.

"I am not eye-raping you. I am admiring what's mine." She said defensively. He was not leaving a chance to tease her.

"And what's yours?" He said keeping the plates on the table. They both settled in the chairs for breakfast and she said, "My boyfriend!" A wide grin spread on his face listening to her.
