A LIE TO LOVE ❤️

Part #39

As the evening approached, the whole house started buzzing with arrival of relatives and friends . Sanyukta sat in a corner of the hall along with Vikram and watched her cousins practice for her sangeet ceremony. Just then they heard the door bell ring .

"I'll see who it is ... ", Krithika said as she made her way to the main door to answer it .

A minute later, Krithika returned with a parcel in her hand .

"Sanyu!!! There's a courier for you "

"Courier???", Sanyukta wondered for a while and asked, "From whom???"

"I don't know. The sender's name is not mentioned on it ", Krithika replied handing over the parcel to Sanyukta.

Sanyukta frowned taking the parcel from Krithika's hands . She checked the label which had her name and address printed on it . She flipped the parcel to the other side . The sender's address did not appear on the brown packaging. She shook the package wondering what it .

"Is there anything you ordered ", Vikram asked .

"No. I haven't ", she replied still shaking the package.

She tore open the cover and lifted a cardboard box. She then peeled off the tapes and opened the box to see what was inside ..

It had her certificates and original documents which she had given to Randhir to submit at the 'Flavours Magazine ' office for verification , along with an envelope. She took the envelope and pulled out the neatly folded paper from the open side and started reading it.

My dear Sanyukta,
I know that a letter can't fully make up for what I did. I also know that a letter won't fully capture how I feel and what I have to say. What I do know is that I messed up. I can't imagine not being with you. You're the one who I dream of when I go to bed, and the one who I think of when I wake up in the morning.

"Liar !!!!!!!", she chipped flaring her nostrils and was about to tear away the letter when she was stopped by Vikram.

"Princess, there's no harm in reading it once to know what he's got to say ", Vickram said urging her to read it completely

She huffed and started to read it further....

I know that you may not want to read what I have written in this piece of paper, and you also have the right to throw it away as soon as you get it, but, I still want to take the chance of explaining how much I have loved you. Few things might have gone wrong with us, but do you remember the beautiful moments which we have spent together???

I know my words right now seem stale , broken and hollow. I cannot seem to grow, but I only seem to follow.
I look around my life today
and in you I see the grace
I only want with you to stay
and hold your lovely face .

I know I have hurt you a lot and I also know I have done things which have given you incurable scars . I know the three words 'I am sorry' cannot undo what I did to you, but still I am saying 'I am sorry' to let you know that I'm not only sorry for the improper actions but this remains as an intangible promise that I am never going to lie to you or hurt you ever again!

But if you still think that I don't deserve you. I promise that I'll call off the wedding this time and go away from you and your life forever.

Ps-- I'm sending your certificates and documents that I forgot to return before coming to Hyderabad.

Yours and only yours
- Rajveer (Randhir)
