HIS OBSESSION (Book #3 Love Series)

He is obsessed

The air was heavy around them. Both were staring at each other without blinking giving their full attention to each other while downstairs everyone was sitting silently waiting for their kids to come down.

“ Do you love me?” Anjali asked hesitantly.

“ No.” He exclaimed making her sigh in relief.

“ Toh q piche pade hai mere yeh sirf apki maa ke zid ke wajah se toh nahi hai. Kya chahte hai aap?” Anjali furrowed her brows and he stepped towards her.
( Then why are you behind me? It’s not just because your mother is urging you. What do you want?)

“ You. Like breath. Without you life seems boring. Day by day I was realising that being alone is not boring but so peaceful. I love peace but I am attracted to chaos. I like chaos now. The walking chaos that clings to my mind bringing a new sense of relief and peace of mind. That chaos is you .” Aniket said leaning towards her and pulling her by waist.

“ You say this is not love. Then what is it?” Anjali asked as his words made butterflies dance in her stomach.

“Obsession. You are my deadly obsession.” Aniket said in his deep voice. Their eyes were boring into each other.

“ You could have said it was love. Why didn’t you?” Anjali asked looking for any lies hidden in his eyes.

“ Then I wouldn’t be true to you and lying to you is like lying to myself. I wouldn’t be true to myself, kitten. I love that even though my aura makes you shiver and scared still you stand straight with your resolute. You never fear to tell me my flaws. If I speak truth I have never loved someone. I don’t know how it feels. Is that even true or just an illusion? I crave you like a water to survive. I love that you try to run away from me. You must be thinking I need thrill which you give me. I won’t deny but it’s half-truth. I do love thrills but only when it’s you. I love our interactions. Our banters. You never fake what you feel. If you hate me you show it by bearing your claws. When you like something I do you appreciate it wholeheartedly. And I swear no one has ever got me so hooked up as you do. It’s since the day one I saw you that you have clouded my thoughts. I can tolerate all the hate you give but I can’t tolerate your tears, your pain, you away from me.” Aniket confessed making Anjali think if someone can be this obsessed.

She has always heard love is powerful, gives you strength and is the most beautiful thing. But this man standing in front of her makes that love every legend expresses look nothing in front of his feelings as he labelled his feelings as obsession. Just by his mere words she started liking his obsession. She cupped his face unknowingly as her head touched with his.

“ Is this because of your first girlfriend?” She asked.

“ Maybe yes. Maybe no.” He said and she understood he has formed a wall around his heart and his walls are falling down but he is still hesitant.

“ Apni side ki story batao na. Main kuch nahi jaanti apke baare mein lekin ab janana chahti hu.” She said locking her eyes again with his as he smiled at her.
( Tell me your story. I know nothing about you but I want to know.)

“ Woh pehli gf thi jisse bahut loyal tha, bahut pyaar ki baatein karti thi woh itna ki mere liye jaan Tak dedegi aisa kehti thi par usne mujhe cheat Kiya agar pyaar mein log cheat karte hai, jhooth kehte hai. Mujhe nafrat hai uss naam se. Tum chaho toh kehne ke liye main keh sakta hu ki pyaar karta hu tumse par main apni feelings ke baare mein jhooth kabhi nahi bol paunga. Sirf uske wajah se mujhe pyaar mein dilchaspi hui thi lekin nafrat hai uss shabd se mujhe.” He exclaimed.
( She was my first girlfriend. I was very loyal to her. She used to talk about love and always portrayed it as the most beautiful feeling ever. To the extent she could even give away her life for me but… She cheated on me. If this is what people do in love and lies then I hate that name itself. If you want I can say I love you but I don’t want to lie to you at all. Just because of her and to reciprocate her feelings I started taking interest in it but I hate that word itself now.)
