ADITYA

The doors swung open, and one by one, everyone got off the bus, leaving just the two of us inside. She looked out the window, then turned to me, confusion mingling in her eyes.

"Why are we here?" she asked softly.

Taking her hand in mine, I drew her closer. "Your dreams are my dreams, Tara," I began. "I know how much it means to you to have a big, loving family around you. This has always been your dream—to be surrounded by people who love you."

Her eyes widened slightly, her lips parting as she listened. "I also know how much you love your dad and how much you miss him," I continued, my thumb gently caressing the back of her hand.  "We're going to spend a few days here, with everyone, so you can have the time you've always wanted with your dad. I know a few days can't replace all those years but at least we can start somewhere."

She looked at me, those beautiful eyes brimming with unshed tears. I pulled her into my lap, wrapping my arms around her tightly, feeling her warmth against mine.

"I can't change what you've felt all these years, but I can promise you one thing: whatever our future holds, I will always be with you," I said, my voice unwavering. "In every joy, I'll stand behind you, and in every misfortune, I'll be standing in front of you. Your every pain will be mine, and I will do everything in my power to remove your every worry."

Tears welled up in her eyes, spilling over and tracing delicate lines down her cheeks. 

"I will make up for all those years you had to go through this, for all those days when you felt alone and all the nights when you went to bed crying," I whispered, kissing her hand. She buried her face in my shoulder, her body shaking with sobs. I gently stroked her back, holding her as close as possible.

After a few moments, she pulled back slightly, her eyes searching mine. "Thank you," she said softly, her fingers brushing against my cheek. "For everything. I may never find words enough to describe all that you mean to me, but you gave me something that no one had before. You gave me the love I always craved and the peace I always wanted. You came into my life when I was not expecting it and you made it more beautiful, and I don't think I'll ever know how to love someone else the way I love you. You are the first and the last person I ever want to love like this."

I leaned in, capturing her lips, soft, warm, and inviting. I cradled the back of her neck with one hand, pulling her closer, while the other hand gripped her waist firmly.

Our breaths mingled as I deepened the kiss, my tongue tracing the seam of her lips, seeking entrance. She parted them without hesitation, allowing me in. Her lips are intoxicating, the sweetest thing I've ever tasted.

Her fingers threaded through my hair, tugging slightly, pulling me even closer. I could feel her soft moan against my lips, that made my heart race wildly. My hand slid from her neck to the small of her back, holding her tightly against me, while my other hand roamed over her curves, exploring every inch. She responded eagerly, her hands roaming over my shoulders and neck, her nails grazing my skin.
