"I'm all yours..." "Yours to cherish, yours to caress, yours to care and yours to love till my last breath," I tell him sincerely, my staggered breathing a proof of just how much his proximity affects me. He leans and kisses my forehead. "I'm only yours Armaan... I've never been anyone else's, never will be!," I confess again, but his loving eyes suddenly go wide. "I have never held any other hand, never felt any other touch, you're my one and only," I bare my soul to him but instead of hearing him reciprocate the feeling, I notice him looking back at me with even wider eyes. My heart sinks in my chest. "Are you mine too, Armaan?," I ask him worriedly, and his eyes soften at me. I see sincerity and love in his eyes, but why do I also see something else? _________________ Khwahish & Armaan found a connection, a solace in each other when their parents decided to get them married.
