Arakshi SS : Why You? DC here* - Page 49

"ARJUN!" She yells out...

***

Sakshi gets up... yelling... to find herself on the bed... her forehead damp with cold sweat...

She removes the blanket from her...

Arjun...

Her heart thuds... she runs towards his room...

"Arjun..." she cries out... seeing him missing from his room...

She goes to the garden to find him missing...

"ARJUN..." she yells... hot tears making it's way out of her eyes...

She runs back to his room... her heart throbbing against her ribs... where the hell is he!

"ARJUN!" She yells again when she feels a touch on her shoulder...

"Sakshi?" he looks at her... confused... Sakshi's face lights up to see him standing before her...

Hale and hearty...

Before he realizes she crashes herself along his chest... sobbing uncontrollably... Arjun jerks back with the contact...

He sits on the bed... trying to soothe a sobbing Sakshi...

"Muskaan is ok?" Arjun asks tensed... she nods... running her fingers across his face... she traces her fingers near the corner of his mouth... where he was bleeding...

The nightmare had felt real...

Her right palm was placed against his heart... her eyes closed a little as she felt the faint throb beyond her palm...

Arjun was quiet... he stood still as Sakshi caressed his face and chest...

He cupped her tear stricken cheeks gently... as if she were to be a fragile piece of glass...

"Sakshi... main yaha hoon... tumhare paas... kya hua?" Arjun asked her...

Sakshi wiped her tears away an in muffled sobs explained what she saw... yet not saying that she expressed her love for him...

At the end she huddled herself... trying to control her emotions...

"I saw three bullets on your chest Arjun... three goddamn bullets... your heart was not beating... my hands were damn bloody!!" Sakshi ranted off... she was palpitating... rubbing her palm frequently...

"SAKSHI!" Arjun shook her shoulders... he then gently wiped off her tears... he hummed ssh as she tried to control her tears...

He took her palms... "Dekho... iss pe khoon nahi hai... and I am hale and hearty... aur meri dhadkane chal rahi hai... okay?" he told her softly...

Sakshi gulped and nodded... he beckoned her to come close... Sakshi hugged him like a tiny child...

"Arjun... mujhme aur himmat nahi hai kisiko khone main..." Sakshi murmured...

Arjun fondled with the strands of her hair... now did he understand her state and situations..

"Tumhe lagta hoga that I am emotional, a fool... senti hoon..." she was shushed by Arjun...

"No... for me you are a beautiful human, a wonderful woman... and... the lady that I love..." he whispered the last few words...

Sakshi closed her eyes... hearing the rhythmic pattern of his heart beat...

Dhak dhak dhak...

When she caught on to his last words... Arjun remained silent... he too was slightly unsure of his feelings... but... perhaps this was a second chance in their life?

To his surprise Sakshi tightened her grip around Arjun... he looked down to see Sakshi's misty eyes meet his dark orbs...

She opened the pretty soft mouth of hers... and paused... then looked at his eyes...

"Arjun... I don't know... I think.. I think... that maybe..." Sakshi stuttered... Arjun waited... thought his heart was choking him...

Was it a confession?

"Maybe?" he asked with a shaky breath...

"No... not maybe... I know... I know... that..." Sakshi paused and watched his eyes widen... she half smiled... knowing that he knew...

"I love you..." she voiced out...

Arjun half smiled... his palm locked with hers... "I love you too..." he answered her...

"Say it again..." he asked her softly...

She played with the kada on his hand... her eyes downcast... "I love you Arjun... I love you..."

Even though the room was bathed in darkness they could see each other's expression clearly...

Arjun held the edge of her chin and rose her face... he was a breath's distance away... "Are you fine if we ki..." he was stopped as Sakshi closed his mouth with her own trembling one...

He closed his eyes and let her take over as she shakily reached for his nape... her fingers stroked through his hair while he gently held her waist. She threaded her fingers through his soft hair. He slightly increased the pressure till a soft moan left her mouth.

It was strange that he didn't feel regret... he felt blessed at this beautiful moment. He smiled inwardly as Sakshi held on to him and tugged at his lower lip, gaining more access. After what felt like eternity he drew back, skimming his thumb over her now swollen lips. She was beautiful!

Tears gushed out of her eyes "Arjun, never be the reason of my despair - please. Please kabhi bhi mujhe dhoka nahi dena... main marr..." he stopped her mouth with a soft kiss...

"Never Sakshi... I love you more than my own life, my love. Tum ateet se mujhe kuch farak nahi padta... aur main tumhe kabhi bhi chot nahi pohochaunga. Muski is as good as my own baby. Trust me." his last words removed a huge burden from Sakshi's heart.

She snuggled fondly on his chest, her fingers playing tiny patterns. Arjun smiled and fondled with little stands of her hair "Kuch soch rahi ho?" he asked.

She looked up at his handsome face "I love you too much Arjun... it feels a lot..."she whispered. He chuckled and brushed his nose with hers "I love you too...".

Taking her little palm in his he pressed a kiss in the inside of her palm "Sakshi, I know it's too early to ask, par kya mujhse shadi karoge?" he asked hesitantly while Sakshi met his eye with a shock on her face.

"I..." "Shush Arjun..."

Sakshi wound her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly "oh Arjun stop making me fall in love with you further!" she whispered and held him tight. He ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her temple "So Sakshi... kaha shadi karogi?"

Sakshi smiled through her tears and thought "Yahi, issi farm house pe shadi karenge..." she ran her fingers through his hair "Acha... so to be Mrs. Sakshi Rawte, phir hum kya karenge?"

"Phir hum kuch dino ke liye chutti pe jayenge, Muso ke saath... hum teen... ek perfect family! Ooty ya Darjeeling jayenge!" Sakshi smiled while Arjun held her waist to keep her from falling out. He was finally getting glimpses of the little carefree Sakshi - oh he could fight the world for this! "Beautiful... par Sakshi.. agar Musi achanak se humare kamre main aagayi toh?" he asked.

"Arrey kya problem hai?" Sakshi said, the mere thought of them having a future together sent a fresh trickle of tears "Arrey... if you and I are in nothing but bedsheets aur Muskaan aa gayi aur puchegi ki hum dono sirf blanket main kyun hai toh?" Arjun chuckled and rubbed his nose with hers as a red Sakshi burst into laughter.

She cocooned into his embrace and smiled as they planned a happy cute future ahead.

Only if they had the slightest of idea that they were going to suffer the worst set back ever.

Precap : Sakshi tried to move but she was tied... she met with a soft kiss on her neck "Hey Sashu baby, how are you sweetheart?" a very soft familiar voice wafted near her throat.

"Saarthak!"
