The Ugly Beauty

Part-10

The engagement ring she offered above. :)

"H- He was the same guy who raped Ananya. He wanted a revenge from me and from the NGO for what we did to help her. He loathed her, he wanted her to suffer just like him when he was rotting in the jail. That's what he said when the cops made him confess." She was crying so hard now. I could see the pain in her heart, in her tears.

I embraced her tightly, there were tears in my eyes too. " Sshhh... I am here now Kiara. I am so sorry. I couldn't be with you when you needed me the most." My heart was filled with regret. I was sure she must have sensed it. She looked up and smiled.

" You don't have to regret anything Sid. I know it shouldn't have happened but in the end the accident made me so strong. I would have never got to know about the NGO... about my passion to be a psychologist. Everything happens for a reason Sid. But I never accepted that the accident was my fate and I have to live with it; forgetting about my dreams, my aspirations and about you. Yes, I did became hopeless, lost and broken but deep down my heart always knew that I will meet you someday. I knew that I have to believe in myself again. I told myself that life is not over yet, Kiara. You have to fulfill your dreams because you really don't know if you'll get another chance or not. God has been so kind Sid, he gave me another chance when he saved me from the accident. Earlier I used to condemn him for what he did to me. I begged for death. But yesterday I had an epiphany. I am going to live my life to the fullest from now on, without any worry or fear. I still have some insecurities but who doesn't. So all this brought me here to tell you that I love you more than anything Siddharth Malik. I realised that I cannot live without you anymore. I want you in my life for eternity. I' ve known you for more than 10 years." I knelt down on the ground and pulled out a ring from my finger.

" I know it won't fit but I will buy you another one after you say yes to my question. Will you do me the honor to be my husband, my soulmate, and father of our children, Mr. Geek?"

"Umm... don't you think it should have been the other way around. You know it is a yes and it will always be nerdy. So you must immediately stand up and let me be the gentleman I am." He gave me a stern look while smiling.

"As you say, Mr. Malik." I stood up chuckling.

" I love you too Kiara Sharma. Just so if you are not aware of that I love you even more. I always have. You were my best friend, my partner in crime and above all my first love. You know what they say about first love, that no matter how many times you fall in love again there will still be a part of yourself that compares everyone to your first love. That's what I used to do. I met no one as astounding and brave with an amazing soul as you. You are the every cheesy word anyone has ever said to anyone. Do you remember I used to bring roses at school, and you always asked why I bring these to school if I don't even have a girlfriend? But , I never told you that every day when I crossed the road I used to see those white roses in a flower shop, which reminded me of you Kiara so pure and beautiful. I wanted to give it to you every single day as a promise that my love for you will keep on increasing day by day unconditionally. But I never got the courage to told you so. I loved you so much Kiara that it hurts to see you so broken. I missed you a lot the girl who could bring sunshine to anyone's life just by her courage and smile. I never saw you cry, when I knew you missed your mother and was sad about your father's indifferent behaviour. For me you were the strongest girl I have ever laid eyes on and that made you so unique and so beautiful. So love yourself K just the way you are because you truly are a beautiful soul. I am sorry for not recognizing you,because of some creep who did this to you. But somewhere in my heart I felt the pull which I never felt towards anyone else. I don't care even an inch about how you look, because for me you are more valuable than the outer beauty. Never doubt that I will abandon you just because you have these scars. Infact, they will always make me realise how big your heart is. So will you marry me, who is not as courageous, as brave or as beautiful as you are, for eternity?

I was crying even more now as I could see so much love, care, respect and everything in his eyes. Thank you so much for hearing my prayers, God. " Yes... yes a gazillion times yes."
