Broken but BEAUTIFUL

Vulnerable

"Why? Why did you leave me like that Kabir?" , Khushi asked while crying.

She was sitting on the couch at Khushi's cabin. Today both of them were alone in their office due to the preparation of some urgent project.
Kabir was the new chief executive of his company and the Banglore branch of their company transferred Khushi as his assistant here, in Mumbai.

Kabir came and sat behind her. She was still sobbing. He turned her around. She wasn't looking at him. He held her hands tightly.

"I was unable to figure out what kind of emotion I had for you Khushi. But after parting our ways I've realized that what you were for me!" ,Kabir replied.

Tear drops were falling on his hands from Khushi's eyes.

"You know what? After we parted I had many relationships in my life but what I was finding is You within everyone. I thought people left me broken but it was always you Kabir Shehgal who broke my heart! It's you! I hate you! I just hate you!" ,Khushi clutched his shirts' collar and broke down emotionally in front of him.

Khushi's tear is the last thing that Kabir could see in the world! Seeing her like this broke him into pieces. He cupped her face and made her look into his eyes. Their eyes met. It was a sea of emotions that were coming out in form of tears from both of their eyes. Khushi was always like this. Expressive, bubbly, clear. She could express her heart out easily but it was difficult for him. He was still a novice when it comes to form words from his feelings. He couldn't express himself with words rather than he expressed himself through his actions. He always believed that action speaks louder than words. Today was not different. He couldn't see his Khushi crying.

" Why you.... " before she could say anything further Kabir put his finger on her lips.

"Hush! Don't say anything." ,Kabir looked at her with moist eyes.

Khushi was gazing into his eyes. His dark brown orbs were pulling her towards him. They were so close to each other that she could feel his hot breath fanning her face.Kabir  touched his lips on her forehead. Khushi was numb. She didn't know what to do. Kabir again looked into her eyes. Tears were still flowing down from her eyes. Kabir couldn't see tears in her eyes. These beautiful eyes were made to shine with happiness. He soaked her tears with his lips. Unable to handle her emotions Khushi closed her eyes. Their lips were few inches apart from them. Kabir was gazing at her pulped lips. They were slightly opened and trembled with emotions.
Khushi caught in the whirlwind of emotions. She knew that what was going to happen the next and her soul was craving that too but at the same time she knew that it's not the right time and she should stop him. She wanted to pull away before she lost control but he slammed his lips to her. Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't resiprocate first but soon she loosen her grip and her hands clasped on either side of his face. He kissed her and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled.  She ran her fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them and she could feel the beating of his heart against her chest. It was his way to assure her, to express his feelings in front of her. They separated themselves for air. Their foreheads were touching and they were looking at each other.
