"Sanskar?" she gasped in shock by his behavior.

"You love me, don't you?" and everything froze when he hissed those words angrily on her face. She couldn't speak, she couldn't breath but she knew tears were clouding her vision.

"Damn it, say something! Either say yes or say no and push me away, throw me out of this house!" he said tightening his hold on her arms.

"Can I?" she barely whispered.

She closed her eyes dropping her head down as he pressed himself on her closing the distance. "What? Whether you can say no and throw me out?" he asked in a whisper.

She gulped nodding her head in a no and whispered with closed eyes,
"Can.. Can I say yes?"

His grip on her loosened as he slightly stepped back and she opened her eyes. He looked at her teary big doe eyes asking him million questions.

"Can I love you?" she asked looking straight in his eyes.
