Forever Entwined

chapter 8 : confession

The last week of the month continued.

Devaansh had to visit the Mansion as he realized after encountering Devika , he never went back to the mansion. He promised Saanvi , the day he came here, that he'll spend time with the family but it seems like Saanvi also forgot her reason.

Another thing was that his stay in his hometown was coming to an end. Although his secretary and trusted manager of his company handled most of the work in the office, his presence was required.

Also he needs to put an end to his inquiry about Devika's kidnapping. His cousin had searched the whole house for any signs , each room and each basement where he could find the little details Devika told them about.

Neither Devika nor Saanvi told Devaansh or Rishi about the incident before her kidnapping. Saanvi mentioned the note after getting Devika's approval to help Rishi in getting any clue

Devika explained the structure of the dark room, mentioning the walls were completely white with one of them having colors splashed on it.

"When will you come back?" Devika asked Devaansh who was silently having his breakfast.

The usual happy atmosphere was quiet today. Devaansh told Devika that he had to leave for some work today and ever since both had this heavy feeling in their chests as if they were asked to never see each other again

"After two to three hours or in the evening" she nodded, her sadness clearly shown "just say you don't want me to go" he chuckled but inside had a bitter feeling in his heart , Devaansh tried to lighten the mood , teasing her but Devika answered looking straight in his eyes

"I don't want you to go" she confessed and he gulped , her beautiful gray eyes frosting a sense of longing in him.

Devaansh stood up, settling himself beside her on the chair

"Don't look at me like this. I won't be able to go... it's just for a few hours sweetheart. I'll bring you flowers on my way back okay?"

The first ever endearment caught her slightly blushing. As Devaansh patted her head, she felt overwhelmed. "It's the first time you are going out after we have met. I feel so strange" she suddenly hugged him, catching him off guard as he struggled to maintain his breathing steady.

"I am sorry" he apologized even when there wasn't any need for an apology.

"What will I do all alone?"

"Uhm.. why don't you watch any movie?"

"No.. boring without you" his heart swelled with the love as she mumbled snuggling in his embrace

"Then try watching new cooking videos which you were watching with sooo much interest that day huh!"

" Phr mera dil kray ga cooking krnay ka bhi or woh aap ko pasnd nahi k mein aap k begair kitchen mein jau"

(Then I would want to cook aswell but you don't like it if I'll go in the kitchen without you)

He chuckled, shaking his head at her complaining. He found her irresistibly too adorable.

"Sweetheart , I don't have another choice today. Please understand" she nodded looking up while resting her chin on his chest " can you kiss my hand just like you did the other day?"

Her innocent request flickered a desire within him. His heart skipped its beats. His eyes wavered as he struggled to control his inner self

Their proximity was already giving him electric shocks and with her innocent gestures he found himself falling completely in the puzzle of love
