Her Secret Lover

Chapter 10

Akshat knelt on one knee and held her face. She looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy. "Go away," she said and turned her body. But he was quick enough to hold her and make her stand.

She finally looked into his eyes. He looked at hers and captured her lips. Her eyes did not close while they were kissing as she was shocked. He held her waist with his right hand and pulled her closer and brought his left hand to the corner of her neck. He then pulled out.

"I love you," he said. "The day I held you in my arms when you were unconscious, was the best day. I took care of you while you were unconscious. But when your family took you back, I was shattered. That's why I invited you all here. Just to see you," he said in a slow and soothing manner.

Akshat used his hand to bring her right hand on his chest and pulled her in for a kiss again. This time, Arshita closed her eyes. But did not kiss back. "Arshita!" they heard and looked towards the door to find Abhirud standing there.

He walked to Akshat, pulled him by the collar and punched him. "How dare you kiss her without taking her permission!?" he shouted and kept punching. "Bhaiya! Stop! He asked! Stop it," Arshita shouted and that made Abhirud leave Akshat.

He looked shocked. Akshat was already bleeding. "Oh..... Akshat, I am so sorry. I am very very sorry. I thought..." Akshat stood up and said. "It's ok," he said. Abhirud left feeling very embarrassed. "Why did you lie that I asked your permission before kissing you?" Akshat asked, touching his blood.

"You were getting hurt! Obviously I would say that!" she shouted. She went closer to him and touched his wound which made him wink. "I will leave, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable," he said and was about to walk out when she held his hand.

He turned back looked at her. Her eyes held an emotion which he could not explain. She brought him to the bed and made him lie down. "Stay here, I will take care of your wounds," she whispered slowly and caressed his forehead. "I will bring the doctor. Wait here," she said and went off.

He was confused. She cared. But did she love?
