UNITED AGAIN BY LOVE.

20.

DARSH

My baby girl, my Kanmani and my world have gone through a lot and the worst part is I'm the sole reason for her misery. Today's incident is an eye-opener for me, and I should not take anything for granted. I don't intend to justify my mistake. I misunderstood infatuation as love because of which we both had to suffer.

On the last day of their exam, I decided to apologize to my nila so I planned to meet her hence I didn't inform anyone about it and reached her exam center only to be blessed with the truth. I listened to everything that bitch said to my nila. I realized how she fooled me. I was disheartened but when I heard my Nila's words, I was drowned by guilt. After all that happened to her, she was ready to break her head for me. She threatened Roshini for me, for the boy who betrayed her. I was determined to repent my mistake, and I'll make her mine.

How long will you be standing? Her voice made me realize that I'd been standing since entering the room.

Nila gave me a pair of white t-shirts and grey tracks. I took it from her, surprisingly.

How do you have the clothes readily, did you ever dream of this situation already? I asked with a smirk on my face.

Nonsense. If you want, wear it or around naked who cares. Such a dimwit you're. these are my spare clothes. I always prefer oversized attires to wear at home and that pant was bought incorrect size. That's the answer for your question. She walked away slamming the door.

Oh! That was so fast. I smiled and went to refresh.

SRINILA

He is the only dimwit I have ever seen in my life. He envisages beyond the limit. Where are my friends? Shreya akka will definitely go to her home as she stayed with us yesterday. Perhaps, what happened to durga. Where would she be staying tonight? I was pondering about my friends and I failed to notice a person standing behind me.

I felt a breath near my ear. I turned and stumbled upon to see darsh so close to me.

Enna da (what). I asked him. Who kept looking at me.

What were you pondering about? He questioned me huskily.

I looked at him once and turned to the frying pan flipping the chapati. I was just thinking about durga. She is not home yet and didn't even phone me. So I was thinking to make a call to her.

Not needed she is with rocky. I spoke to her about staying with you tonight. However, she agreed upon a condition.

And what was that? I exclaimed.

To buy a biryani. I was bewildered.

Did she really agree on biryani. He nodded innocently. She also said I can stay with you for more number of days, all I had to do is buy her biryani.

Dhrogi (traitor).

He made me turn around; I raised my eyebrows. Pasikidhu di (I'm hungry). He whined. I sighed.

It's almost done, you wait in the hall. I'll bring you the dinner. He nodded disagreeing to my idea.

No, I will also help you. He acted adamant. Go baby, I said softly. He kissed my cheek and went. I bought the chapatis and tomato chutney. My baby loves this combination. He sat comfortably on floor. I placed the dishes and filled the plate for him. When I extended the plate he denied. I raised my eyebrow.

Feed me. It wasn't a request; it was an order.

I took a morsel and fed him. He smiled happily which made me smile too.

You still demand to feed me. I said more like an affirmation.

Yes! and you will feed only me not even our babies. I blushed thinking about the babies. Shut up, Darsh. He giggled. My baby, did you just imagine the process. I smacked his chest.

He began feeding me from the same plate, this is how were back then in school. he would always demand me to feed him and then he would feed me simultaneously.

We finished the dinner. I went to place back the vessels in the kitchen. I did the dishes and went to room to see him sitting on my bed. He looked at me and patted on the bed. I sat on the bed , opposite to him. He held my both hands in his firmly.

Nila, I'm sorry. I tried to withdraw my hand; however he held it tight. Please, listen to me once. I want, this night to vanish all the darkness in our life and next morning will be the path paved for our future, the future which contains only US.

Tears poured from my eyes. He wiped it with his thumb.

My baby, I apologize from bottom of my heart. I was dumb to betray you but trust me I never intended to cheat on you. I agree I was attracted to Roshini, however it was just a mere attraction which ruined our beautiful relationship. The days we spent together was the best days of my life. I can never disagree on that and the days without you were the days my heart understood that you were the purpose of my life. On the last day of your exam, I heard the conversation you had with Roshini. I realized I made a fool out of myself by trusting her. Perhaps, I realized I should never miss such a girl in my life.

After contemplating , I decided to meet you. I went to your home only to have heard that you and your went out of station. I waited for you, days , months and years. Finally, when you're here I cant miss you baby.

Life has given us another chance, atleast for me. Trust me I will cherish you for life. Will you love your Wolfie again? He asked hopefully.

I hugged him tight. As tight as possible. So did he. He grabbed me, heartfully.

I detached from him and cupped his face.

I never unloved you darsh. You are always mine to love.

I love you so much, my baby.

I love you too my kanmani. He peppered kisses all over my face. I giggled heartily by his smooches.

He joined his forehead with mine.

We are united again, UNITED AGAIN BY LOVE. I smiled. He kissed my lips. Thus, drowning in passion of love.
