Her Secret Smile

31.

"I will choose my unconditional love over anything else in the world!"

She started sobbing closing her mouth, she doesn't want him to hear her crying. Roshini was taken aback to see that, she doesn't know what made Nidhi cry but one thing she understood that she is too much in love with him.

"Hello?" Varun again asked and wiping her tears away Nidhi gasped to gulp her tears. She felt a heaviness on her throat, the words stuck over there. The more she controlled the more she had the pain. The past days were the worst time of her life. That time she wanted no one except Varun, she wanted to apologize for throwing him out.
Her heart knows, the words she said to him is are all untrue nothing came from her heart but it can't be changed. There is a saying, Once the glass is broken we can't turn it back to its old form, likewise, once this relationship is broken, nothing can be changed after that.
Now Nidhi's greatest fear is that 'whether he will leave her?' since his actions were made her think like that.

She can console her heart that Varun is not that type of person who will leave never her but what if he did? What if he burns all her hopes?
It gave shivers to think that way, she wanted comforting words from him that's all, she doesn't want anything big.

"Nidhi?" before she could speak Varun identified her. Done! She started to cry on the phone.
Varun was stunned, he couldn't do anything than being silent.
"Will you please stop crying," he told in his stern voice.
Nidhi calmed herself and after a few seconds silence.

"Are you okay now?" Varun asked in a concerned tone.

"Yes," Nidhi happily agreed.

"What happened? Did your parents tortured you?" he asked like he knows everything.

"Varun I am sorry, I didn't mean those words. You are my one and only...," Nidhi cried out.

"I know, you don't have to explain anything but why you said like that. Did you thought I am incapable to look after you if your parents throw you out of the house?" Varun asked.
"I wanted you to say, yes I am in love with Varun and I will love him even the entire world is opposing that since I was like that but why you can't do that?" he stabbed her broken heart again with his words.

She cried,"Varun please, I did a mistake, my mom blackmailed me that she will commit suicide what can I do at that time. I am sorry Varun...please," she again started crying.

"Stop crying, it is hurting me even more. I am already in a lot of stress don't irritate me Nidhi," he annoyed.

"Sorry, but please don't leave me like this," she whimpered.

Varun sighed hearing that. "What else I can do? You are acting like an immature kid and my work is more important than this stupid drama!" he snapped.

"Maybe it is a drama for you, but for me? You never understand my situation," she retorted.

"You are telling me that I am not understanding you?" he chuckled.
"If I haven't then I would have slapped across your face for telling me to end this relationship. You know me right!" he gritted.

"Then why you are again and again breaking my heart," Nidhi asked.

"Then what about me, do you think am I a stone?" Varun started interrogating as usual. Nidhi knows she can't win in this battle with him.

"For everything I did... I am sorry Now tell me what you wanted me to do?" she asked him desperately.

"Nothing... Just Marry me," he simply said.

"Varun!" She exclaimed in shock.

"I am coming home on Thursday, let's get married on Friday. Choose between me and your family. This is my last decision. That's all." Varun finalized.
