I hold onto his arm that is on the gear stick, leaning over from my seat. Taking a deep breath, I hug his arm tighter. 

As the car comes to a red light, he leans over to me. I look up at him, only to find his eyes full of tears. 

His hand comes up to my face, "Jaana,"
[Love,] 

I sniffle, wiping the tears that escape his gorgeous eyes. The light turns green, and he focuses on the road. 

I catch his hand trembling, and put my hand over his. "We'll be alright, Love." 

He takes deep breaths to calm himself down, and I rub his back while he drives. 

A sob escapes him as we get to the airport. He quickly parks the car and pulls me to him, hugging me tightly. We both sob, holding each other to ourselves, silently promising the other that it will be okay. 

"Mish," I wipe the tears running down his cheeks while he does the same to me. 

"Jatu," We chuckle through our tears, he holds me close with our foreheads touching. 

"You'll call me everyday?" I ask, hiccuping. He nods, and I can't resist it anymore. 

'I love you.' I think, as I bury my head into his neck, sighing. 

...🦋

Her hands rest on my chest, as we sway together to the soft music. Everything fades away, as I stare into her ebony eyes. 

"Jatan," Her voice isn't even a note above a whisper. 

"Call me something else, Mish." I whisper back, as I spin her away from me. 

She raises her eyebrows, "What do you want me to call you? Mr. Mehta? Mr. Genius? Mr.-" 

I pull her to me, making her gasp. "Call me 'yours', Love." 

Her arms tighten around me as we dip, our faces so close that my breath fans her face. She looks at me with a different but strong emotion, I feel my face heat up. I can't wait anymore. 

'I love you.' I think as she looks at me, her cheeks pinking up a pink tinge.
