Hello peeps, Part 2 is here. Enjoy :)

Dev moved toward the bed and sat inches away from her, cupping her face with his palm, raising her chin, and begging her eyes to meet his and acknowledge his presence. "Sona, talk to me. Just say something.. anything."

Sonakshi looked deep into his eyes, so deeply that she had to close hers before she fainted. She felt dizzy and weak, and she was sure she was trembling. Finally mustering up the courage to look at him again she replied, " I don't.. I can't.. why Dev, why?" At that moment she wanted nothing more than to crawl into his arms, have him smooth down her hair, and whisper to her that things were going to be okay. But she knew better and wanted to hear him out before she made any other decisions that might leave her hurt.

Determined, Dev got up off the bed and knelt down in front of Sonakshi, taking her hands in his. She tried to resist but she knew she couldn't. "Don't pull away, Sonakshi. Just let me touch you.. please." She obliged, not quite sure of the tone of his voice, the desperation that was evident in his eyes, and the stream of words coming from his mouth.

"You want to know why, Sona? I'll tell you why. Because for the last 3 months, all I can think about is you. When I wake up in the morning and get ready for work, I think about waking up next to you, smelling your hair, making you coffee, listening to you rant about the ill effects of coffee, driving you to the hospital, and kissing you after I tell you to have a good day. When I lie down in bed at night, I think about holding you close to me, nuzzling in your neck, telling you how much I love you. During the day, I can't wait to hear your voice when I am tensed. Your single hello' makes me forget the all my tensions, discuss how my day went, and listen to your new encounters with irritating patients. I think about watching movies and sharing a bottle of wine with you, making passionate love to you, and raising a family with you."

Tears were once again streaming down Sonakshi's face and she was shaking uncontrollably. " De- Dev - I.."

"Shhh.." Dev said, pressing one finger up against her lips. "I'm not finished yet." He moved his hands so that he was holding her shoulders now. He spoke with such conviction that Sonakshi couldn't help but listen.

"Sonakshi, I grew up worshipping my mother, there was no one else around for me, except her. No father, no friends. I started working from the age of 9, so that I could provide for my family, so my mother didn't have to bear the insults of people whose houses she was a maid at. I never took the time out to grow emotionally. I never even gave a second thought to love and didn't think I ever would.. until I met you. You changed that for me Sonakshi, you showed me what love was like and I'm addicted to you. I know I've hurt you, and I know I have caused you great pain, but please sonakshi, please..just..let me love you." Sonakshi thought she saw tears begin to form in the corner's of Dev's eyes. He did his best to disguise it, but Sonakshi knew.. she just knew.

Slowly and with tears still streaming, Sonakshi stood up and Dev rose to meet her. His eyes were searching hers for some sort of acceptance, some sort of understanding. And at that moment, Sonakshi caved and grabbed onto him as if he would vanish into thin air any minute. He held her close to him, so close that he thought he would break her if he held her any tighter. After what seemed to be an eternity, Dev kissed the top of her head and stepped back an inch to raise her face with his hand to meet his eyes. Sonakshi, with her eyes scanning his, taking in all of his emotion, honesty and truth, whispered, "I love you, Dev"

Dev leaned over and taking her more fully into his arms, whispered, "I love you, Sonakshi Bose. I always have and I promise I will never hurt you again" His lips found hers, softly at first, but the kiss quickly heightened to one wrought with passion and desire. Breathless, Sonakshi pulled away slightly almost gasping for breath, her lips swollen.

"Dev, I want us to take things slowly, I know things are going to take time to sort out but I don't want us taking any rash decisions"

"Sona, we'll move as slowly as you want. You call the shots, okay?" Flashing her one of his best smiles, he once again embraced her and held her so close, feeling like the luckiest man alive. This wonderful, ballsy, woman with her tiny ineffectual fists had chosen to give him a second chance, and he couldn't think back to a day in his life when he felt so elated.

Sonakshi buried her nose in his chest realizing how small she felt in comparison to him, his large warm hands gently caressing her back, his strong upper body the perfect size for her to wrap her arms around. He smelled so good she almost felt herself getting lost in the essence of him. Dev's heart was racing. He knew the effect Sonakshi had on him, the love of his life was standing in front of him and he was going to make sure to play according to all of her rules.

Sonakshi pulled back a bit and stared into Dev's eyes "Dev?"

"Yeah?" he responded, gently pushing her hair away from her eyes.

"Will you hold me tonight? Just.. hold me?" She asked him hesitantly.

Looking deeply into her eyes Dev responded, "Ofcouse, Sonakshi. There's nothing I'd rather do. Well, okay, that is a bit of a lie.. there is one thing I would" he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, causing Sonakshi to blush deeply. "But you're calling the shots, remember?" he tipped her chin slightly upward and gave her a tender kiss. "Let's get ready for bed. I'm exhausted."

Suddenly, without warning, he lifted her up, bridal style. She was taken aback but couldn't stop smiling as he laid her down gently on the bed. She reveled in this feeling, this feeling of being treated like a princess, this feeling that nothing else in the world mattered to him but her. Seconds later, Dev was spooned around her with one arm draped protectively over her small frame. She loved the way his warm body felt against her back and how she could hear his quite breathing in her ear. "Thank you for coming here, Dev."

He hugged her tightly to him before replying. "You're my home Sonakshi, where else would I be. Are you happy?"

Sonakshi yawned, signalling to him how tired she was. "Yes, Dev" she repeated. " Yes, I am very.. love you."

Dev smiled to himself realizing how sleepy Sonakshi was from a very emotionally exhausting day. Hearing her easy breathing, he vowed to himself at that moment never to let her go. "I love you too, Sona" he whispered in her ear. "More than you'll ever know."

The sound of chirping crickets filled the room and Dev could hear a light rain on the rooftop outside. He lightly kissed Sonakshi's shoulders before turning out the bedside lamp, neither of them waking until the first rays of dawn filled the room, bringing with them, the promise of a new day.

Author's note: So that's it guys. Did you like it? I didn't go too much into the complexities of Ishwari-Dev-Sona relationship and avoided showing Ishwari's acceptance coz I don't know how the makers are planning to deal with it. This was just an attempt to show, no matter what, Dev and Sona will find their way back to each other. There may be problems but their love will remain true.

If you liked it, Please let me know, It really feels good when your efforts are appreciated.

Until next time,

Malvika
