We used to talk through calls till 2 am every night.

This was tiresome for me as I had to wake up at 6 for school the next day and also to hide this from my parents. This. Us.

My family wasn't overly strict; they provided everything I desired except for the attention and love I yearned for. Perhaps they believed I was brave and strong enough, and they also had to care for my siblings. I was old enough, old enough to look after myself, but I wasn't brave enough to tell them about Rahul. not yet.

"Don't you love me, can't you do this much for Me, Mahu?
I told you I'm only free at night .." he used to say

I was afraid that he'd leave me if I ever said no to him.

I loved him too much to say 'no' to him.

My parents were unaware of our relationship, which compelled me to tell them lies daily.

Not a single day passed without me feeling guilty about it.

However, I was confident that one day they would accept us. I just needed a bit more time.

Then maybe one day we'd be together ...me and rahul ..forever and ever .
