Forever Entwined [ Slow Updates ]

chapter 12 : kiss

-Author pov:

"You have tasted it already" Devika said, bringing the bowl of her first ever dish out of the fridge and heating it in the oven

"It was for me only so yeah" she turned around and frowned " who said it was for you?"

He gasped " then for whom would you make it ?"

She clicked her tongue turning back to face the oven and said while trying to hide her smile "apnay liye"

( For myself )

He hugged her tightly from behind, closing his eyes and enjoying the peace

She blushed , biting her lips , as the contact between them raised her heartbeats

She tasted handmade noodles and then turned to him "it's spicy"

She complained as if he was the one who made it

"Yup just a little but it's tolerable" and he defended as if he really was the one who made the dish

She hummed , taking a few more bites and then slightly pushing it back

She looked at him from the corner of her eyes and then turned fully towards him

"Ansh, can you tell me where you were?"

She asked hesitantly, not wanting to burden him with her questions when their relation was at a beautiful stage

He smiled and kissed the top of her head "I was at the mansion" he whispered, scared that the revelation might trigger some memories

But there was no other expression on her face , rather understanding. She nodded and caressed his face

Their eyes locked, gray against gray

His eyes moved from hers to her lips and in an instant he closed the remaining distance and attached their lips together

Her lips parted with the a sudden jolt of electricity passing through her veins

And he found the opportunity to move his lips

She felt completely out of the world , feeling the soft delicate touch of his lips. Her hands clutched his shirt tightly.

He had her upper lip in his as he sucked them to his heart's content and then took the lower lip in his lips, loving it the same way.

She very slowly responded to the unexplainable euphoria

The feeling couldn't be explained in words. And how can it be? The two kissing each other knew the happiness they felt and that was enough to know they had taken a step in their intimacy.

He wasn't even near to losing his breath but for her sake he stopped.

"You taste divine" he whispered making her smile as she shyly nuzzled her face in his neck

"Come on sweetheart, you weren't shy a few minutes back while declaring that your first ever dish was not for me"

Her already blushed cheeks felt hot with his teasing "I was joking" she shyly whispered

He hugged her and whispered "I know" his voice as deep as the pacific ocean

"I'll order something for us and as much as I want to enjoy the peace with you , I want to tell you something as well"

He suddenly became serious making her straightened and looked at him with the same expression as his

"Devika, I want to share something with you otherwise I think I'll lose my sanity"

°°°

They were sitting in his room's balcony while enjoying the meal he ordered

Devika looked at him who was maybe busy recollecting his thoughts as for sharing whatever he wanted to

Later when he told her that he was willing to share a part of his life with her which was bugging him since morning, she replied ever so softly with a

"I am here ansh ,I'll listen to you"

Offering him her support which he gave her since the day she came into his life

Sensing his unease from the time he came back, she knew that it was her time to understand and offer him the tranquility he needed

Devaansh looked back at Devika when he felt her constant gaze on him. He smiled,pressing his lips and taking her hands in his

Slowly leaning back on the sofa placed out in the balcony, he pulled her closer

"I had a fight with my dad today" he started, gazing into nothing in particular as he was struggling while recounting the bits of memory he had buried deep.

She sat attentively, her eyes locked onto his as he began to unravel the threads of his past.

"I hate him so much. Because of him I once lost someone I deeply cared for"

His voice was laced with a mix of nostalgia and pain. Despite wanting to intervene and asking for what happened that made him hate his father so much , she remained silent and let him slowly uncover the burden he carry

"I loved my dadu, Devika. I loved him so much but he was taken away from me that night... that night when I saw my own father killing him"

His eyes well up with tears. She reached out and offered a comforting touch.

His voice cracked as he recalled the harder moments - the losses, the heartbreaks.

"dadu was struggling to breathe... he was begging him , reaching his hands out for him to let him have his medicine but.." Devaansh's hands trembled in her hold.

She felt her heart ache in sympathy and pain. "My dad stood there unfazed and let him die"

His eyes filled with anger once again as the unwavering hatred he felt for his dad increased.

"Did you confront him?" She asked slowly

"He did see me standing there crying but he didn't take a step towards me and let me see that horrifying scene"

"Confronting him wouldn't have given me anything. He is so cruel and at that time I was that irresponsible son for my family that no one would have listened to me so that's why I decided to leave"

He took a deep sigh and closed his eyes, rubbing his forehead "I hate it in that house"

She hugged him, lifting herself and sitting on his lap. Hugging him close to her heart and caressing his hairs her hands went down to his back and then again in his locks.

"sab theek ho jae ga ansh. Wakt aik sa nahi rehta. The day your patience runs out, all your pain will be removed by God"

(Everything will be okay ansh. Time does not stand still)

"I am here with you for forever. We are going to be forever entwined" she whispered

He smiled pecking her chest over her clothes

"Thank you for patiently listening to me. I feel lighter now"

She smiled saying "Thank you for sharing with me and trusting me"
