Stolen Hearts

Chapter 25

Riya's pov

"This is why i didnt take you in my room directly" he said.

And at that time i looked at him this is not what i expected him to say..............

What does he means?

I didn't want to think anything right now,.

Before i could ask anything.

Akash got up from bed, i saw his figure disappeared in closet.

Closing my eyes shut i took deep breath.

'May be he don't want to talk about anything or explain me '

getting out of bed i started to make bed before i leave.

Akash came out now wearing a white shirt, he didn't look at me rather he was looking at picture frame standing in front of it, i couldn't read his face as he was turned other side.

I was above to go but his voice stopped me.

"Riya..! Don't you Wanna know who she is" he said touching the frame.

I didn't reply, but waited for him to continue.

He turned towards me, his face showing the sadness.

"She was love of my life".

His word's hit me, and my brain refuse to understand anything,

Love of his life.........

Love of his life.........

Love of his life..........

His words kept ringing in my head

Did i came in between them?

Did i separate two lovers?

Oo god what did i do?

But then why, Akash married me?

My head was hurting now. But more than head my heart was hurting like someone has stabbed me, i looked up at Akash for answers. That's when i saw a single drop of tear that ran down through Akash eyes.

I had never seen him like this, so sad every time he had showed me his tough side but today....

Forgetting everything i went towards him. Taking his hand i made him sit on bed.

And asked him if he needs water, but he shook his head no. And wiped his eye's.

"I am sorry...... I came in between you two....." i said looking down, barely holding my own tears.

"NO...!" Akash said loudly that made me jump due to fear.

Akash cupped my face in his hands " she left me before you came Riya.....!!" he said...

"2 years ago i lost her, in a accident.. No no no i killed her... I couldn't safe her.... I was the one driving the car i should have been careful.... I killed her Riya... I... K.. Kil. Killed... Her....." Akash started to say. I saw he's fist clenched, his eyes showing anger for himself.

He got up from the bed and hit the wall near door.

I couldn't see him in pain anymore so i did what my heart was telling me to do,  i went to him and hugged him from behind.

Whenever he hugs me close i forget about every pain maybe it will also help him. I wouldn't let him drown himself in pain of something he will never do.

He got stiff his heart beating wildly under my Pam's. Keeping my head on his back i spoke.

"no Akash, you didn't kill her, you yourself said that it was an accident right? So how can you kill her, and something are not in our hand to control they are meant to happen!!"
