Unspoken Love ~ Echoes Of The Heart

11. I love you

Arjun's Pov

"Kya hua? Ruhan?"

(what happened? Ruhan?)

I questioned and looked at Aditi.. her face was buried on her knees and she was crying?

"Woh ro rahi hai?"

(She is crying?)

"I am sorry manh, I just said you won't come.. and then she started crying.." Ruhan added as I glared at him... "You are dead!" I muttered as he nervously smiled and went towards his bike.. finally leaving..

I sighed and walked towards her before crouching down and touching her head..

"Aditi, please mat royiye.".

(Aditi please don't cry)

"Mujhe maaf kijiye... Chaliye, main aapko drop kar deta hoon."

(I am sorry... Come on.. let me drop you.)

I added as she snapped her face up making me flinch slightly.. her face looked so red and she was crying so much.. 'i hate you' she signed me as I sighed and nodded...

"Theek hai, mujhse nafrat kijiye, jitna chahen kijiye, lekin abhi mere saath chaliye.. main aapko drop kar deta hoon."

(Ok fine.. hate me.. hate me all you want but for now come with me.. let me drop you)

I ended and just then I felt my face slightly move aside as she slapped.. ok.. I deserve it.. she should have hit me harder.. this didn't hurt me but it hurt my heart.. she hates me this much? Then why did she call me to drop her..

She got up and started walking as I quickly followed her.. I held her elbow, stopping her and gently pulling her towards me.. she looked at me with anger..

"Aap thake hue lag rahe hain.. bike par baith jaiye."

(You look tired, sit on the bike)

She just snatched her hand away from mine and started walking as fast as possible..

"Aditi, ruk jaiye.. suniye.. aap kyon gusse mein hain? Kya maine phir se kuch galat kiya? Kripya batayein agar maine kuch kiya hai."

(Aditi, stop.. listen.. why are you angry? Did I do something wrong again? Please tell me if I did something)

And she just ignored and walked.. she won't say me anything now.. she is angry.. and she won't even stop if I ask her to.. so I just followed her silently and saw her running inside her dorm without looking back..

She always peaks to check if I was gone.. but today she didn't... I just want to hug her whenever I see her cry.. but I cannot when I know the reason she is crying is me.. I hate myself for making her cry..

hurting her.. I love her.. and I badly want to tell her.. but I don't want her to get hurt more.. but I don't want her to be seen with any other man too.. not with Ruhan and not with anyone else. I want her to be mine.

I want to love her like she deserves. I want to kiss her badly. Under the sky, under the trees, under the rain.. I want her in my life forever..

Even though she can't speak, her silence speaks to me. I see the world in her eyes, in the way she looks at me. It’s in her quiet moments that I find the purest form of connection.

Her inability to speak only makes me love her more, because I understand that love isn’t about words. It's in the unspoken bond we share, the comfort we find in each other's company without needing to say a thing.

I love her more than words can express. Her presence alone is enough to fill my life with meaning. I wouldn’t trade her silent love for anything in the world, because in her quietness, I find an unspoken love—echoes of the heart—that is more beautiful than any words could ever be.
