|| Chapter Twenty ||

Happy reading.

Continuation...

Aarav pulled trisha by her wrist in the balcony.
Trisha asked being a little irritated,
"Kya hai? I was staying by dee's side na why did u bring me here?"

Aarav replied calmly,
"So that deetya and taksh could sort out the things together "
"Yaa you are right. I... I didn't think about it, but thank god you were there".

"There will be many moments in life when you will thank god for having me by your side".

Trisha with a confused face said,
"That was quite deep and maybe that's why I didn't get it."

Aarav curled his lips in a perfect smile and said,
"Koi nhi! Bohot jald pata chal jayege."

Trisha Nodded and they both looked at the moon with a satisfaction that finally the things will get better between deetya and taksh, but little did they know the biggest drama was yet to happen.

••••••

Deetya and taksh were sitting in the room with pin drop silence.

Finally taksh spoke,
"How have you been feeling? Have you taken your medicines? Are u better now? Do you need anything?"

The only answer to all his questions he got was just a yes or no from deetya's side.

Finally taksh gathered all his courage and asked deetya,
"Deetya you are upset with me right?"

Deetya replied in a monotone,
"I am not."

"I know u are and it's because of maira right?"

All the pale colours in deetya's eyes dried as she heard maira's name from taksh, from HER taksh, she couldn't speak a word  as her voice seemed to be locked in her throat.
Tears started forming in her eyes and rolled on her cheeks.

Taksh sat on his knees by her side and took her hands in his. He kissed her hands and then cupped her face wiping off her face.

Taksh said,
"Deetya no matter what, maira is just a past and you are my present and a beautiful future I wish to have.
I won't lie,for a bit of time I just lost control over my thoughts but now I am very clear about what I want.
I promise you,this would never  ever happen again, just for God's sake trust me, just once."

Deetya replied with a cracked voice,
"I... I... I do wanna trust you....taksh, but what if you again lost control over your thoughts? What if you doubt your own decision? What if you again got a choice in the future and then you won't choose me?
Then what am I supposed to do?"

Taksh was silent for a brief moment and finally spoke,
"I know,I messed up really bad but now I won't ask you to trust me, I would rather prove myself."

Deetya was silent.

Taksh paused for a while and said again,
"That day I met maira and she was literally begging to get back with me, but I pushed her off and told her that it's only deetya who has a right on me, she tried manipulating me but I was sure about what I wanted."

Taksh looked directly in deetya's eyes and asked, "Do you know what I want?"

Deetya nodded her head negatively.

Taksh smiled a little and said,
"You deetya khurana it's only you that I want for the rest of my life.
I was a little taken aback by her sudden effort towards me but I couldn't find that honesty in her eyes that I find in yours and that made me even more confident about my decision".
