Whispers Of Belonging

"A man who truly loves his woman can never look down on her."

TROPS:
love marriage
CEO / employe
dark complextion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was his employee. Now she's almost his bride.

Almost.

"I can't marry you," I said, voice trembling under the weight of doubt.

He froze. So did time.
His love was never the question-
me being enough was.

I turned before I could see the hurt in his eyes.
Every step down the aisle felt like proof I didn't belong in his world.

At the door, my strength cracked.

I ran-tears blurring everything-
not because I didn't love him,
but because I didn't know how to love myself enough to stay.

Nisha Sharma, with dusky skin and striking blue eyes, carries her beauty quietly. Insecure and reserved, she often hides behind silence, never fully believing she's enough-even when others see what she can't.
---------------------------------------
She ran away-just like that.
And I stood there,as if the air had been knocked out of me.

Is my love not strong enough to make her see what she means to me?
How deeply, painfully, I want her?

But this time... I won't stop her.
Not because I don't care,
but because she has to choose herself-
step out of that shell of doubt and see what I've seen all along.

Only then will she believe
that she was never hard to love.
