The Misunderstood Bride

Chapter 38. The confession💌

Veer's pov:

I wait for her to say something when I open her blindfold and to see her reaction. I have booked the whole balcony restaurant and got it decorated with white and pink themed flowers. The main table is decorated with flowers and candles making it romantic. The dinner is her favourite and i have arranged a small private dance floor at the back. Shahrukh khan songs playlist plays in the background and the music is loud enough to make you happy but not that loud to irritate the mood. I have done everything that i could think of. But why isnt she reacting? She is just staring at everything since the last 5 minutes and hasnt said a word.
Suddenly i hear a sniffing sound and see her on the verge of crying.

"Akriti! What happened? Didnt you like it? If no then tell me..i will burn this place but please dont cry!"
"What..no..its just..just that no one has ever done something for me and you..you decorated this all for me?"
"Yes baby...its all for you, but please dont cry or else i will also start crying. This is to make you feel happy Akriti! Its our date! Please dont cry.."
"Its happy tears Veer! Thankyou for this! I..I.."
"I..what Akriti? Say it.."
"Ummm nothing lets roam this place?"
"Hmm okay..."

We take our time inspecting the area and I notice how her eyes shine with happiness upon seeing the decorations. I am glad she liked it. Her smile makes me happy. She makes me happy.

"Come with me Akriti.."
"Where?"
"Just come naa"
"Okay"

I take her to the dance floor and change the song to the kuch kuch hota hai dance theme. I know its her favourite. I keep my hands on her waist and look into her eyes. She looks back at me and holds me ready to dance. We start dancing slowly, enjoying the beats and moving ourselves with the music. It feels so soothing. She rests her head on my chest and I feel so much affection towards her. She is mine. Mine to protect, mine to adore and mine to love. I have made plenty of mistakes in my past regarding her and our relationship but i will make up for everything.

"Akriti..?"
"Hmmm?"

She looks at me and I take my hands off her waist. She also withdraws her hands and looks at me with confusion evident on her face. I take that moment to bend on my knees. Her eyes widen in response.

"Veer..what are you doing?"

"Shh..something that i should have done ages ago.."

"What..veer.."

"Akriti please just listen to me...I..I am really sorry for everything that i did to you. The way that i married you, i did that to revenge on your fiancee and didnt even think of your feelings. I always thought of you as a gold digger and treated you like that. I didnt give you the status of my wife and treated you so badly. I didnt trust you when you said you are innocent and let my ego and misunderstandings come between us. Even if my heart felt it was wrong, i still did unspeakable things to you. I am guilty. I shouldn't have done that all to you. You didnt deserve anything. You are a gem Akriti. I am so lucky to have you in my life. I am grateful that i married you that day even if i did that for revenge. I am grateful that that piece of shit of your fiancee was marrying you and i took revenge on him. You were my misunderstood bride but from now onwards you will be my queen. I am sorry. I am sorry baby for everything i ever did to you. I know i dont deserve your apologies but please baby please forgive me. I cant live without you Akriti. I want to be with you forever. You complete me. I know i dont deserve you and after everything , after listening to everything i said even if you still decide to leave me, i will respect your decision. I know i did wrong and for that i deserve punishment and maybe that would be the punishment i get for my sins. But trust me baby that would be the worst one. Even death is better than that. But i will respect you and your decision and accept everything that you inflict on me. But please forgive me baby. I am really really sorry. Sorry from all my heart."

I apologise to her for everything that i have fone done to her. I wanted to apologise to her since too long and after expressing myself i feel so calm. Its her call if she forgives me or not but atleast i feel light after saying what i wanted to say since so long, since the day i realised i love her and i cant live without her.
She hasnt said anything and i can see tears forming in her eyes. I hate to see her cry. I have been the reason of her tears since so long but now  I hate when she cries. She moves towards me and pulls me upwards. I get up and the instant i get up, she hugs me. She hugs me tight and i hug her back. We stay like that for minutes when she finally breaks the silence.

"Veer..I forgive you.."
"Really? You..you wont leave me? You forgive me?"
"Yes Veer..I...I can never leave youu...I know i should, i know you made me sad but at the same time it was always you that gave me a reason to be alive, you are the only family i have and i believe everyone deserves a second chance, i am ready to give you that chance. I forgive you. I will never leave you. I..even i cant live without you and our family..mom, dad, your siblings, i cant live without you all. I give you the second chance Veer and i trust you, i trust that you wont make me regret this. I trust you...lets begin fresh.."
"Thankyou! Thankyou baby...i will prove to you that you did the right thing for you and for us. Thankyou..."
"Hmmm now lets have dinner, am hungry.."
"Wait.."

I hold her hands and again bend before her. This time i dont waste a second and take out the small box that i had hidden in my pocket and show it to her. She gasps at it and tears start dwelling in her eyes.

"Akriti, I..I love you Akriti, I love you from all my heart and soul. I love you baby, will you be mine forever?"
"Ye...yes..yes...i ..yes.."
"Do you love me ?"
"I...veer..I.."
"Its okay, you don't have to say it back, i love you and its enough for us. I dont expect you to feel the same after everything i have done.."
"No..veer..I..i love you veer...i love you too, i have loved you since so long and its just that i was so shocked to hear those words from you that i couldn't contemplate anything but Veer I love you, i love you so much!"
"Oh my heart! I love you Akriti and i promise that i will always love you and you will be my princess baby. I wont ever let you down. I love you baby!!"
"I trust you and i love you tooo!"
"I love you Akriti!"
"I love you more Veer.."
"No Akriti i love you more"
"No i do.."
"No..me.."
"Me"
"Me"
"Me"
"You"
"Me"

We both start laughing and i kiss her finally. She kisses me back and we leave each other when we finally feel breathless.

"Come lets have dinner.."
"Yes.."

We have our food and then head back to the airport. We enter my jet and leave for our home. Our home. She is my home and today i found peace. She is my peace. She loves me too. Its the best day of my life to know this. I am the luckiest to be loved by her and i will prove that she is my queen by cherishing her love forever. My heart. I love her so much.
