The Dilemma Diaries : Decisions of the Heart

I Love You!

Nishka's wild yet true allegations almost left Kartik in tears. He felt it is now definitely not going the right way.

He lost his temper and went angrily towards her. He then tightly grabbed her arms behind her back and pinned her to the wall, not allowing her to go.

"This qualifies as trespassing. Leave my hand Kartik, it is hurting." 

"Now only you will know, how does it feel to be hurt."

"What do you mean? Am I insensitive? That is not me, that is you."

"I am being insensitive? Did not you see that I defended you in front of Lara? I took your side. And when did I fail to protect you as a husband?"

"You never failed to protect me but have you ever treated me as a wife? Protection should be for every other girl in your life, whether she is your friend, wife or sister or any other girl. But let me remind you that I am not that any other girl in your life. As you said, I am your wife dammit."

This made Kartik ponder for a moment and he loosened his grip on Nishka and let her go. Nishka was about to leave when he said, "If I failed as a husband, then I would not have given you those promises, I would not have taken those wedding vows with you, I would not have gone to Zurich with you." He explained.

"What did we do in Zurich? We went there for sight seeing, and that is it."

"Nishka, stop it. What do you exactly want from it?"

"I do not want anything from you because that gonna be another tag for me, as a gold digger."

"Stop it I said. Stop calling yourself like this." He then took Nishka in her arms, held her close to him, very close and continued, "You are my wife and I Love You, and only YOU."

Tears rolled down from her eyes making her cheeks moist and so tempting.

"You do not love me, you just want to take revenge." Nishka sobbed. Her voice getting slower, sensual with every word she was uttering.

"I do, I do love you .... with all my heart and soul...."

He sealed that confession with a marked impression on her lips from his.

Nishka closed her eyes, the tears were still flowing down her cheeks and they both could taste that. 

The kiss grew intense and for both of them, the whole world around them paused, as nothing else mattered in that instant. Kartik's hands held her waist and were going up her body, feeling the warmth of the embrace, their hearts, beating in unison. It was finally the moment of pure intimacy and emotion. Gentle at first, but filled with meaning, expressing the promises they have made to each other.

Nishka was feeling so electrifying that she fisted Kartik's shirt and was holding it tighter every other moment. 

Finally when they both ran out of breath, Nishka could not make eye contact with him, and she was looking here and there, up and down, right and left and every other possible direction. She finally got the hint of excitement, perhaps even the trace of nervousness, maybe she knew what gonna happen next. 

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and both returned to the reality.
