Part 10: Samrat's Realization

** Banner made by Pragya [pragya_luvsajan] **

"What happened, Samrat? Why are you so confused? Look into my eyes and say that you don't love Gunjan.", Nupur said in an authoritative tone. Samrat turned to face Nupur and looking at her, he said nervously, "I don't.. love.." Fumbling with words, he stood up in irritation and said, "I can't say that." Without giving a chance to Nupur to speak, he rushed to his room. Nupur smiled and whispered, "You love her, Samrat!"

--

Samrat entered his room and banged the door behind him. "I can't get into it again. I can't fall in love again.", he said to himself in disbelief and laid straight on his bed. Due to tiredness, he unconsciously closed his eyes and instantly Gunjan's face flashed in his mind. He opened his eyes in jerk and jumped up in a sitting position.

"Why is it happening again? The more I'm trying to avoid my new feelings for Gunjan, the more it's getting hard for me, or, is it destiny's decision? Damn!", he said in frustration and confusion.

Just then, his phone beeped. He took it out and read the reminder loudly, "Go to buy Gunjan's birthday gift." A slight smile curved on his face, and pushing all other thoughts to a corner of his brain, he walked out of the room and went to Nupur.

--

"Bhabhi! Where is bro?", Samrat casually asked. "He has gone out to buy my vitamin tablets. By the way, why are you asking it?", Nupur questioned suspiciously. "Actually.. nothing so special but.. please tell me naa that what I should gift Gunjan? It's her birthday tomorrow.", said Samrat with an excited look.

Nupur sweetly smiled and said, "Just confess your love to her. That would be her bestest gift!" Samrat was left in confusion once again, and with this, he left from there.

--

It was almost 11pm. All the evening, Samrat drove around the whole city with trails of thoughts in mind. He was thinking deeply of what Nupur had said him. Did he seriously fell in love with Gunjan? He asked him and at the end, he got a positive answer, and he also understood that no matter how hard the mind wants to stay away from something, if the heart wants to have it, then no power in this world would be able to stop it.

Sighing, he parked his car at the side of a flower shop. "I want 2 yellow roses.", he said to the florist and stood there quietly until his sight landed on a married couple near an ice cream van. The husband was staring at his wife who was innocently eating ice creams one after one. He smiled at the cutest view.

"Love doesn't always give pain.", Nupur's words echoed in his mind. As he remembered each and every words she had said to him, the flashbacks of the moments he had spend with Gunjan came in his mind. Those were the most beautiful times of his life, he had to agree on that.

"Trust is the main base of any relationship, isn't it? And I trust Gunjan blindly. For this, I had told her everything about my life. Then why ain't I accepting my love for her? She won't give me pain in the way like Sheena did. Oh come on! That stupid Sheena can't be compared with a great human being like Gunjan, with MY Gunjan. Enough of this debating with mind. What am I punishing myself? The person from whom I'm in this condition is easily enjoying her life, so why the hell am I still standing on the same place? I should move on and do what my heart is telling me to do!", Samrat said to himself with a firm smile and asked for two red roses, too. Once he got all the roses he ordered, he sat inside his car happily and left for Gunjan's home.

Gunjan was checking some files sitting on her study table. At that moment, she heard the doorbell of her house. Wondering who it was at midnight, she walked towards the door with a look of fear on her face.

"Who is it?", she asked without opening the door. "Gunjan, it's Samrat!", she heard a jolly voice. "Phew!", she sighed in relief and opened the door.

"Samrat, you really got me scared. I thought that it was a thief.", Gunjan said inwardly thanking god that everything was fine. "Gunjan, were you expecting that the thief will come up to your door and will politely ask you for your valuable items?", Samrat asked sarcastically and seeing that Gunjan's concentration was not on him but on thinking, he quickly brought his hand in front that were holding that flowers and secretly kept them in his jacket's inside-pocket.

Sticking out her tongue a little bit, Gunjan scratched her forehead. "Yeah.. I was expecting something like that.. but I guess.. I was wrong!", she said in embarrassment and Samrat broke in a chuckle. Pulling her cheeks, he said cutely, "You are really too adorable.", and went inside with attitude. Gunjan, with jaws dropped, followed him.

Going to Gunjan's room, Samrat made himself comfortable on her bed. "Are you complimenting me or teasing me?", Gunjan asked with doubtful eyes. "Both!", Samrat said and laughed. Gunjan pouted and said childishly, "Jaao! I won't talk with you." Saying that, she turned to go out when she felt her wrist being grabbed tightly.

Suddenly, Gunjan felt a shiver in her body. She felt her breath stopped for a moment. "Today I'll just drink juice today.", said Samrat in a notorious yet friendly voice which brought her back to the reality. Gunjan nodded without looking at him and ran to the kitchen. Samrat dreamily smiled.

--

Gunjan came back to her room with a trey of two glasses of juice in her hands. "Where is this Samrat now?", she wondered as the room was empty. Just then, she found a note on the bed and read it loudly, "Come to the terrace if you want to get your surprise."

Raising her eyebrows, Gunjan thought confusedly, "Surprise? Terrace? Huh?" With all these confusions in her mind, she made her way to the terrace.

--

Gunjan arrived at the terrace. "Samrat!", she shouted but no one was there. Her eyes were searching for him and in this process, she walked near the railing. She broadly smiled as the cool breeze touched her face. "What an amazing weather!" she exclaimed in amazement.

At the very moment, she felt two strong arms around her waist, and before she could protest, someone whispered huskily in her ears, "Happy Birthday Gunjan!"

It was a familiar and affectionate voice, and this must be of Samrat's, she thought and struggled to turn back but suddenly she froze when Samrat kissed her earlobe and said in the most loving manner, "I love you Gunjan!"

Gunjan closed her eyes to feel the heavenly moment and heavily breathed due to the effect of his closeness. "Do you love me?", Samrat asked softly though he knew already that the answer would be the positive. "I love you Samrat!", Gunjan said in a single breath, and hearing it, Samrat's heart contracted with immense love and affection for her that was easily showing up on his face. Without wasting a single second, he made her turn in his arms and embraced her protectively. Gunjan hugged him back.
