My Innocent Love (Book 1 In Novice Love Series)

Chapter 41- When There Is Only Love...

"Love is life", a quote that touches your heart and soul. Love is that extreme feeling which each one of us experience in time. It is that heart warming and tingling emotion which when becomes a part of your life, it is capable of healing any sort of wound. One can buy food, clothing, shelter and other luxuries of life with money but you can never buy someone's love for yourself even if you give your entire bank balance to them. Some love stories are so deep and intense, that they are capable of moving you from within and some wounds are so deep and painful that they can only be healed with tons of love from the people near to you and especially by someone for whom you are the center of their universe.

Aayush was shaking with all the emotions he felt after Viraj's visit. All his life, he wanted Viraj to say at least two words of affection, but when he finally realized his importance, he was not in a position to forgive or forget. Raisha made him sit on their bed and held him in her arms because she knew what he might be feeling at present, something which she always felt for her family but sadly it never happened, in fact, in their case, everything was worse.

"It's okay, I am here. Everything is good", she consoled rubbing his back while he held her one hand in his. He turned his face in her direction and threw himself into her arms, as she continued to caress his back.

"Why did he have to realize everything so late?" he asked her in a vulnerable tone. Raisha didn't know what to tell him and she just planted a soft kiss in the crook of his neck. Aayush continued to hold her feeling an emotional wreck with everything happening around in his life. Then realizing what Raisha, had informed about Tanya he pulled back from her.

"What happened with Tanya?" he asked curiously and her anger started returning again but she composed herself.

"She was the one who sent those goons to beat you up because you rejected her for me. She wanted to teach us a lesson. Your father told him that I was ill in past and you are his adopted son", she answered little angrily and Aayush's hold on her hand tightened.

"And like everyone else, she would have felt disgusted with us and decided to revenge us", he completed before she could utter a word.

She rested her head on his chest as he wrapped his one arm around her and she snuggled closer to him wanting to relax her angry mind. "I slapped her quite a lot in front of the college and even made her father listen to all her evilness. I recorded everything to report her to cops, but her father requested me to let her go as her mother won't be able to bear it", she revealed and he sighed, kissing her palms.

"How did you know that she did all this?" he asked with confusion evident in his voice.

"Last night, I heard you and mom talking about your father. Like you and mom, even I thought him to be behind all this so today morning I went to put some sense in him but before I could even enter your house your maid Noora called me and informed that she saw Tanya giving money to some goons for beating you up. I was shocked and outraged. I told Noora to meet me at Tanya's house and then I went to see her father but he didn't believe us so I took him to the college and rest all is a history", she explained and he kissed her temples in gratitude. He can't even imagine how much she might have to go through in just a few hours without him and still here, she was consoling him. Can someone ever love anyone this much?

"I revealed about our marriage too because it was of no use in hiding it and I don't care how they behave with me now. All I know is if someone would try to insult my husband than Raisha won't stay quiet ", she added and he wasn't surprised at her words because he knew she loved him too much to even let the world mock their love or relation.

"I never knew you were capable of slapping someone in public", he joked a little wanting to make the atmosphere between them better.

"She called it upon herself by lamenting over our past", she replied feeling angry at her again.
