"I CARE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!!"

She stood there dumbfounded under the weeping upper atmosphere; those same words echoing into her ears as the images of each and every incident since their first encounter flashed into her mind. How it all started with her falling straight into his arms. The almost kiss on Diwali, something which never left their heart or mind and appeared repeatedly in their dreams. His challenging kiss and her accidental one. The memorable winning dance performance of theirs.

Every time he's barked at her in fury, it had been to put her down in agony. It didn't occur infrequently that she was left in melancholy after a dispute with him. Never had his words slipped her into a state of absolute euphoria, the kind of she witnessed presently.

A shiver ran down her spine; her heart thudded in ecstasy. It would be an underestimation to say she felt being on cloud nine. The ground under her feet so empty as if she was hovering into the weightedness. She appeared to herself as if all the happiness of this world was put at her feet.

It felt too much of a sweet dream. A dream she never wanted to wake up from. Never.

The sound of thundercrack forced her to return back to the blissful reality. Yes. This wasn't a dream. It was nothing but pure reality.

Her lips curved up expliciting indescribable joy as in her blurry image she recognized his masculine shape shrinking bit by bit. And in the blink of an eye her feet themselves rapidly and flowingly moved towards him causing a collision of her soft front against his damped stiff form.

He stopped in the passage as her skinny arms surrounded his torso from behind.

"Hum bhi aapse...I love you dammit!"

An electrifying chill passed through his body as the declaration of her love happened under the dark celestial cotton sheets. Despite the cold atmosphere an unusual warmth spread inside his body. It took him few minutes to face her heaving form and wrap it in his own hands.

He rested his left arm around her waist while the other hand cupped her face. Her face which rested on his back before it was raised up to meet his eyes now.

Only the thundering and wailing sky in the grey afternoon witnessed the silent promises of this newly formed couple, the ones he sealed with a kiss on her forehead; the rainy shower not bothering at all.

The curtains waved into the air as strong wind entered the Gupta house through the open dormers. Madhumati shut the windows before sitting down on the sofa with a scarf tied around her head. Garima walked into the living room and took place beside her holding a plate filled with dal.

Garima - Jiji, Khusi is out in the rain. I'm worried for her, she must have gotten wet. Now she'll catch cold and fall sick.

Madhumati - I am also worried Garima. Why don't you call her? Ask her to come home right now.

Garima nodded in agreement and moved to the telephone kept on the dining table. She dialed Khushi's number while her eyes stayed on her troubled sister-in-law.
