So this one is kinda sad, but seeing Dev's confusing feelings, this is probable too.

Written from Sona's POV.

Recreated from my other story, because it suits DevAkshi perfectly too.

Hope you like it. Dont forget to comment and let your opinions show, I am open to constructive feedback!!

"Mr. Dixit, listen to me-"

She doesn't get half way through his name before he turns on her, his eyes wide and a little wild.

"You're in love with me?"

He sounds angry, and she can already feel himself shaking her head, because that's not how this is supposed to go. Right? Love isn't supposed to be like this. This hard and painful and complicated. She's not supposed to fall in love with her boss. But here she is, and there he is, and he looks like he's fighting tears, even as her hands ball up into fists. Like she can fight the obvious, the inevitable. But she's tried that, she's been trying that, and she knows there's no point. She too fell in love -she doesn't even know when- but she's tired of pretending she didn't.

"Dev..." Her voice is quiet. She hopes it's reassuring or soothing or something, and she takes a step toward him, like he's a little kitten that might spook if she pushes his limits.

He's quick to take a step back, his hand out as if to stop her, to warn her off. "You can't be in love with me! I dont have place in my life for this-whatever this is-"

Sonakshi frowns then. "With all due respect, I think I get to decide how I feel."

"No. Not if you're just throwing your feelings around like this." He tosses her hands up. "You don't fall in love with me. That's how this story goes."

"You're acting like you wrote the story, like you know how it all ends, but you're wrong." She stares at him a moment, and she knows she's scared, but suddenly she's not, not anymore. "Dev, I love you. I'm in love with you."

"Dr. Bose, stop!"

But she doesn't want to stop. She's been holding onto these words for too long now, and they need to be said.

"I can't even remember a time that I wasn't in love with you," she admits. "And I don't know if it started the moment I realized that you do so much for others unselfishly, even to the extent of getting my mother (an employee's relative) a sugar-free cake or all that you did for me after the accident. You called them in the middle of the night to donate A-ve blood to me. And I know that I love fighting with you and I love talking to you and I love how alive I feel when I'm with you. And I love the way you smile in my face, and the way you protect your family, no matter the cost, and how strong you are, even if you'll never admit you're any of those things. And I don't care if you think the story is supposed to go some other way. This is our story. You and me."

She takes another step forward, staring into his eyes, and she takes it as a good sign that he doesn't step back.

She closes her eyes, sighs and continues. "You and me are the whole damn series, and I don't know how it ends. I don't know where it's going. But I don't want to miss out on anymore of it." She shakes his head. "So no, I'm not gonna stand on the sidelines and pretend that I don't want to-"

She opens his eyes to step closer and convince him. But he's already gone. And she's imagined this moment, so many times, but it is so much worse than anything he could've thought of. A lone tear escapes her face and then she cannot help but collapse to the ground and bury her head in her hands. What can she even do now that he has blatantly refused to even pursue this notion? This is literally a nightmare that came to life. She's probably never going to forget this moment. It'll be seared into her memory for a lifetime.

Thanks a tonnn! Glad you like it. Rest assured, I'm here to stay for a while now 😳

Its heartbreaking but I guess this is the response Dev would give her because he is unaware of his own feelings and/or scared to accept them at this point in life 💔

It might take him a tad bit more time, but I trust he'd come around 👍🏼
He would not break Sona's heart like that and not ponder over it 😲
Practicality looks great in books but in real life you need the magic called love to sail you through 😆

Really beautiful! And very aptly described. If Sonakshi really does confess, I am sure this is what is going to be the reaction. Not because he doesn't like her but because he's never thought in that direction. Not just about er. He's never thought about ANYONE like that. Love of this sort is alien to him. So the shock or whatever it is will be too burdening for him. As you've said in some other post, he never thinks he deserves somebody who does things for him, only him. Not the other way round.

Btw, I am a HUGE fan of tragic stuff. And you've done wonderfully well! You are a good writer. And I hope you write more. Maybe something happy this time? Hopefully the next episodes are going to offer something good for us and you can write about that? I M looking forward to read more of your work!

Till then,

Thank You for the appreciation and such a thoughtful reply.
That is exactly the point of this story, that it fits perfectly with what Dev would do if Sonakshi confesses right now. Feelings are there, but he is not aware of them and he is not willing to put her in front of his family responsibilities. He has always been the elder brother and fulfilled that role to perfection. But he fails to realize that he as a person and his own happiness matters too. It is not always the best alternative to sacrifice everything for others. That realization will take some time.

I'm personally very prone to loving tragic stuff too. So that comes naturally to me.
As for happy stories, my first one is a nice and sweet one:


Give it a read. You might like it. And please leave your valuable feedback on it too.
Once again, thanks for such a wonderful comment.
