Only You, Always You, I Love You

"Hey Radhe"

"Hmm?"

"Have you had enough time...?"

"Yes"

"Do you have something to say to me then ?"

"Only if you have something to say to me as well"

"I have"

"Ditto"

Dk stood beside me on the terrace of the hospital. We both had finished our duties and weren't sleepy at all. Even Akshay wasn't here now so I had no one to sing lullaby to.

It had been a month since Akshay had gone. I missed me too much but I knew his studies were important so I just adjusted with that. He, though calls me every weekend and I ask him about his health and studies and friends and he replies to everything in an affirmative which so relieving because I'd never want him to go any hospital ever again. But yeah just like that I had nothing to do and as if on cue Dk had called me an hour ago, (on my personal phone number, mind you) and had asked me if I was free. When I answered in an affirmative, within the next second he came to my cabin and brought me here.

Under the night sky.

Unknowingly he had fulfilled my wish of so many years.

It was almost midnight and the stars looked extra bright. I gazed up at them and immediately spotted the pole star. "I've seen the night sky so many times. But this is the brightest it has ever been. So beautiful." I  murmured while gazing at the stars, quite literally in awe.

"So beautiful indeed " Dk said from besides and my attention immediately averted towards him just to find him already staring at me. I blushed and looked up at the stars once again.
"I was talking about the stars." I whispered afraid to break the tranquility of night. "And I was talking about my star." He whispered back and I covered my face with my hand pretending to facepalm just to hide my blush.

If only Google had good answers.

"You're so cheesy Dk" I said and giggled and his smile broadened.
"I know, and people love that about me. They just love my charm" He said and laughed and my smile faltered.

"I'm sure there must be loads of people in your life who love your charm and you in general."I intended to say this teasingly but somewhere my underlying insecurity stood out in the sentence, my forced smile and glassy eyes just gave it away.
As if sensing my insecurity, he stopped smiling and faced me fully.

"No Radhe."He stated softly "there are no people in
my life, no one except you. It's only you, always you." "Okay?" He asked and I nodded ducking my head, doing  possible trick to control my tears. "Hey, Radhe, look up at me" He whispered and lifted up my chin and the moment his eyes met mine, the tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Radhe" He breathed, sadness evident in his voice and brushed away my tears but then a whimper escaped my lips and I couldn't control my anymore.

"Please don't cry Radhe" He said, his voice cracking himself.
"Y-you're the most important person in my life. No one compares to you, no one ever will. You don't need to be insecure for anything. I should be the one g-getting insecure. I should be the one feeling blessed because I just d-don't deserve you." He said and I shook my head. "You're so, you're so beautiful Radhe. Inside out. I'm so blessed to have you Radhe. I don't know if you know it or not , but Radhe, you've completed my life. I don't want anyone except you. No one except you. Only you, always you." He whispered but I shut my eyes tightly shaking my head.
