The Naivety Of A Heart (Original Unedited Version)

Chapter 22- The Twisted Partings!

Partings, the mere word has the effect of a thunderbolt down your throat. When the mere word can extinguish the light inside your heart, then when you have to part ways with your love even for a short span of time, the thought itself is capable of sending chills down your spine that too after spending a beautiful day with them, which managed to touched the bottom of your heart. But there is a saying, Every thing happens for a reason. A reason that might seem to be dangerous at a point of time, but as the time will fly then only you will realize that everything was the call of that almighty to change your life in a way, which will leave no room for others to hurt you, but instead it will provide you a platform to prove yourself as well as fight for the one, you love the most. Afterall, evil schemes can't win always, no matter how much power they hold at a point of time.

With a smile adorned on her pink thin lips, Raisha laid awake, on her bed in the cottage thinking about the beautiful evening she spent with her Aayush. Her eyes were constantly fixed on the red rose bouquet which he gave her at the end of their memorable evening. Like planned before by him and Shipra, they went to Sarthak's house and from there, she returned with Shipra while Aayush decided to wait for a longer so as not to make his family doubt him even one bit.

Not able to simply lay idle, she stood up and walked up to the cupboard where the bouquet was kept. She picked out a rose from it, and caressing it with closed eyes, she whispered in the most soft and honest voice, "I love you, Aayush".

Realizing that she was again drowning in him, she opened her eyes, to only meet her own reflection in the mirror. She stared at herself with a smile. She looked different, she looked happy, her eyes which lost the shine years ago were shining again today, her mind which was always fighting an inner battle was at rest for once and it was only because of him. Her Aayush!

She kept on staring at herself as her soul asked her the questions which she had been avoiding since the moment, she discovered that she was in love with him.

Am I doing the right thing by hiding not confessing it to him?

Won't it be wrong on my part, if after seeing the extent of his love, I won't confess them?

For the sake of society, is it even right to let our love suffer?

Can I even make myself strong enough to see him with someone else in the future, knowing the fact that his heart belongs to me?

"What should I do Mumma- Papa? Please help me". She questioned to her parents, turning around to see their portrait. Her heart wanted her to run in his arms, and show her love in every way she can, but the fear of the people judging her intentions for him, was always nagging at the back of her mind. Her soul, her heart was already his, and she was sure if ever some day she has to give her body to someone then also it would be him, no matter where they end up.

Before she could lament more in her thoughts, she was brought out of her trance, by a soft knocking on her door, and confused she made her way to open the door. Her eyes went wide the minute they met his, on opening the door and he passed her a smirk, which depicted mischief.

"What are you doing here, at this time of night?" She inquired as he stepped in the cottage moving her aside, authoratatively closing the door with his leg while she rolled her eye balls at his audacity to smirk at her in that moment.

"Why, Thank you, Moonlight, I am good too!" He replied with pure sarcasm in his voice and she so had the urge to pull his cheeks.

"Generally, people welcome me in their homes and here you always ask me what I am doing here? Too bad!" He stated with attitude, sitting on the bed and she shook her head at his reasons.
