Together.. Till Death Do Us Apart.

Chapter-5(continued)

I saw they stopped. I ran to them. "Hi... I hope you didn't forget me?" I asked with a hopeful expression but inside I was nervous and her blank expressions didn't help either. She was giving me cold shoulder that scared the hell out of me, I thought she will slap me.. Or worse will say that... That she has a boyfriend.

"I tried but couldn't..."she slapped me. With her harsh tone and cold words without even touching me. But at least she accepted that she can't forget me... Its good then right?
"I think its good then. Don't you?" I said with a lopsided smile the one she admired earlier. "Yeah.." She said but then looked at me with an horrified expression, as if she said that unknowingly...but I got what I wished for and my face broke in a full blown smile.
"So...can we have a talk. Please." I asked politely and glanced at her friend with pleading eyes, she kind of understood.
"Oh! I just remember I have some work. I'll meet you downstairs." She said and left us there.
I looked at Shruti she wasn't looking at me. "Don't avoid me, please Shruti , I am here to talk with you, to clarify myself. Please at least give me a chance." I spoke softly.
"Chance for what?" She replied angrily. "Look I am not that type of a girl who can easily fall for your charms. I believe in LOVE not the time pass scheme..." Time pass... What nonsense? I thought
"Sshh... Have you lost your mind?  I know. I know what kind of girl you are. That's why I fell for you and still.. Falling harder every time I see you. I am not asking you to fall for me or to love me, I just want to love you in every possible way. And I'll keep falling until.. You hold me. Trust me I didn't want to do what I did that night. It just...happened. I know I should have controlled myself. I am sorry Shruti, for not taking your permission, but... If you truly ask me, I don't regret that." This time she met my eyes with her surprised ones. "Because that was our first and will be my last if you wouldn't give me any chance." I opened my heart, revealed my truth in front of her. I had not planned this but on seeing her I said what I hadn't imagined. She was watching me intensely with some expressions I couldn't decipher then "You love me this much?" She asked. The blank look has disappeared and she was on the verge of...crying?.

Shruti's POV:

"More than you can ever imagine." He said. I was melting inside, which I hadn't planned. I had thought I would be tough for him but  why I can't?
" I don't know if I love you!" I uttered the words before thinking.
"Then let me see, if you love me." He said. Seriously! What does this guy think of himself. I was still fazed by his words when he started again, "I am not forcing you, I will not ever. I just want you to know that I will be there for you forever. Because I also believe in true love and I can't think myself with anyone except you." Every word he has said, every time he said  you  was like an arrow which pierced through my safety walls and touched my heart. I was speechless.
"If this is it, then I want to see how far you can go." I said with determination remembering Mausam's word from earlier. You want him as well. Don't you? My inner conscience interrupted me. I shook that thought away. "As far as you want me to, I know we will work it out together. He said grinning. OhGod! his smile. " let's see." I said because truly speaking I was very happy inside that he came this far only for me. We both then went downstairs.
First day of college and I found my first. Am feeling like dreaming.
