37. First time

Anahita's pov

I was taken aback when he asked me why did i marry him. I never expected him that he will ask this question and frankly speaking I don't like to answer this question because I have reasons why I have chosen to agree for this marriage. I guess he already knows that I wanted to payback him for what he has done a year back.

I don't know why I felt like he wants to know about me about my past. I guess it's the time I should be open to him because he was honest about his part of explanation and to sort out things. Literally speaking I want to end all this stupid game and sort out. I was not the person who held grudges on anybody but I don't know what insect has entered inside my mind and I  changed. Earlier I used to forgive easily but after the death of Shaan I was like became stone hearted and I have created this walls around my heart. I didn't want anybody to be come close to me because the people whom I care and love will leave and go away very far.

"Anahita." He said snapping me out of thoughts.

"Ok. So...you wanna hear my part of story but you will get the answer of your question at the end of listening my part." I said to Which he nodded.

"Soo.. when I was doing graduation we I mean Disha, Aman, my sister Anika and I were like very close. But the circumstances has changed and we ended up getting scattered to different places. My elder sister Anika went Delhi to study MBBS. She wanted to become doctor and serve to the people so she left and then Aman whom I used to trust a lot went abroad to continue his further studies. So finally I left with Disha. We both used to go to same college but  she was my senior as she was elder than me. Actually we both were close those days. Then.... there comes Shaan. I met him in second year of my graduation but he was not in my class because his major was computer science and mine was finance. I first met him in a library...and then from there we started talking , hanging out, playing with our friends. Disha already knows that I like him but before I thought of confessing him about my feelings he proposed me and then I was like I am on a cloud nine. This all just happened two months before his death. I am not a girl who just simply cries if anybody yells at me, I hardly used to cry but that day when he died I let all my emotions out and I cried.. cried like eternity," I paused and took a deep breath before continuing, " so after that I shifted here to continue my further studies. I really didn't like the idea of shifting here but it was my dad's idea. He thought it's better if I stay away from that place and with this I got away from my dad also. You know what, the people whom I love and care the most always leaves me in one way or the other.." I said my voice broke at the last statement. I took a deep breath after completing my part.

He wrapped his arms around my body and hugged me.

"It's okay , everything will be okay..I am there for you.. isn't it?" He asked.

I just nodded my head in agreement.

I know why I felt this homely feeling when he hugged me..I just wanna pause this moment. I don't want it to be ended soon..

We just stayed in a silence for a few minutes and then he pulled away from the hug.

I didn't even realise that my cheeks were wet..

I sniffed.

"Hey why are you crying?" He asked raising my chin with his fingers.

"No! I am not crying," I said in a childish tone. I wiped away my tears.

"Ok fine. You wanna see something?" He asked me, taking out his phone from his pocket.

"What is it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I took your video..you know when I first saw you. It's worth watching." He said and motioned his phone towards me see it.

With a frown I grabbed his phone. He moved closer towards me to get a clear view of his phone to watch the video.
