Falling for you

Chapter 27

Pooja :

I was watching rishi who is waiting for my reply "I said—-" I trailed off "you said what pooja" he asked me clearly knowing he was enough annoying with my late reply.

"I asked him more time" I said lowering my eyes staring at floor I heard him sighing heavily "didn't you take your decision yet?" he asked me looking at me intensely.

I shook my head negatively "I don't want to marry him" I said staring at the ring on my finger. It was shining beautifully on my finger.

"because you already married in our religion"

Darsh words played in my mind making me think more and more. "Then why are you asking time, just say it that you don't like him" rishi words brought me from my thoughts.

I felt a little happiness and a little relief in his voice I looked at him who is looking at me calmly. "I don't want to hurt my parents" I said lowly. I felt his hand holding mine I felt shiver when his cold fingers touched my skin.

"Don't sacrifice your happiness for others even for me also" he said I stare at his eyes "before I came here I thought I want suji in my life and marry her" he said and got up from bed.

I showed my hand he held mine I also got up he wrapped his arm around me walking towards balcony "but after spending time with you or something i don't know the reason but now I got clear that I never loved suji" he said we stopped at railing.

"Raj and sri said that you loved me" he asked me I stiffen when he asked me directly this question. "Even I ask you and your silence give me my answers" he said I looked at him he was staring straight not meeting my eyes.

"Everyone know that you loved me but I didn't even think about that" he said i felt his grip on my shoulder tightened "you said that ask questions when I have answers right" he asked me looking straight into my eyes.

I nodded "now I have all my answers" he said and turn towards me "will you answer my questions" he asked me I stare at him for sometime before nodding my head.

"Good" he said and pull a chair make me sit "this won't be done any time soon" he said and sat front of me pulled my chair to him.

"Tell me are you loving me" he asked me I felt tears formed in my eyes I saw him looking at me with assuredly smile "I won't judge you pooja nor I will never hurt you" he said holding my hands into his.

"Do you love me" he asked me again I closed my eyes tightly. I want to say 'yes' but afraid of his reactions, surely he will reject me but there is nothing to hide after he got to know.

Say it pooja!!!!

Rishi cupped my cheek with his one hand "open your eyes" he said I did as he says "look into my eyes and say" he asked me I opened my eyes saw his eyes I forgot my fears.

"Yes" I whispered barely audible I felt his grip on my hands tightened "do you know that you love me" he asked me his eyes was showing no angry "yes" I said "from when" he asked me.

"The moment I hear about your accident I thought I lost you that's when I realise I am loving you" i said not stammering a word saying confidently.

"Why didn't you say to me" he asked me "how can I say" I asked him back "at least I will try if you don't in relation with suji" I said tears formed in my eyes "at least I will confess my feelings if you thought about me for a second" I said unknowingly a tear slipped from my eyes.

He wiped my tear with his finger "you decided to leave your love for this reason" he asked me calmly "yes" i said "tell me the truth you ready to get married someone else for moving away for me" he asked me I lowered my eyes.

"I am asking you something" he asked me it was clearly visible that he was angry "yes" I said he got up from chair "do you get ready to agree marrying Vivek for moving on from me" he asked me I looked at him.

"No" I said "I never move on from you" I said and got up without falling down "I thought to say 'yes' but I couldn't because I can't replace you and I can't move on from you" I shouted tears rolled on my cheeks.

"Are you really loving me" he asked me making me irritated and get angry with this repeating same question. "How many times I need to say 'yes' I yelled at him and held his collar "I love you" I said to him angrily.

"What" he asked me making me more angry. Why isn't he get it!!!

"I said I love you" I shouted but soon I realise what I said. I looked at him with wide eyes.

I confess my feelings!!!!

I was about to move back but he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him "I heard you" he whispered in my ear making me shiver!!!

Rishi loosened his grip on my waist I pulled back and saw his face expression but it was neutral like it was nothing. Not angry, not sad, not happy!!

"We are going to hospital tomorrow morning get ready" he said I nodded he left after make me put in bed. I was still in the thought of my confession.

He didn't said anything about that but I feel like I did a mistake of telling my love front of him..

I couldn't get sleep in the night all the night I was thinking about my conversation with rishi.
