Chapter Fifteen

"Don't think about it." He said.

I looked at Eli as he was busy leaning against one of the columns that was on the balcony.

He was busy staring at me as he said what I was thinking more so in my head than what I actually stated out loud.

"But it's not like she doesn't already know. She has already linked it to her so I might as well tell her fully so we can stop her." I said looking at him.

"You can't do that Jin. The council is watching your every move. If you tell that human a single thing they will most likely kill you and she will be brought to her present state before you tamper with things." He said offhandedly.

"Why are they watching me? They already now what I did so what's the point?" I said.

"They don't trust you. They don't know how far you have gone and don't know what you might have told her without their knowledge. They don't know if you have put us at stake so far." He said simply.

"Have I ever done this before? I have always followed the rules.."

"And this time you haven't followed the rules...we don't know how far you will go so they are being careful with what you are doing." He said.

I looked at him when he said that his brown eyes looked at me and I pouted.

"You guys are just too uptight." I said.

He sighed.

"You can't do that either Jin. When I say they are watching you, they are watching you writing it on a piece of paper will have the same repercussions. I'm serious Jin they will kill you if you go behind their back this time." Eli said with a serious expression.

I sighed.

"Then what do I do now?" I asked him.

He gave a very faint smile.

"Since you foolishly decide to go behind orders...you have only once choice?" he said.

I looked at him and he uttered his next statement slowly.

"Rely on that human who resembles Sun Mi." Eli said slowly.

I scrunched up my face at that.

"I never said she physically looks like her...it was something else I thought." I said.

"I know what you thought but that...isn't possible. I told you that was impossible in happening." He said.

"I could have told you hundreds of years back that I didn't believe in any supernatural existence and here I'm a living example of one...that's the thing with that word "impossible"." I said.

Eli's features relaxed and he sighed.

"Jin..." he said softly.

"There is no point. Someone's whose dead is dead. Is that what I'm supposed to say? Although I see people being pulled out from death every day. See them alive and well. See myself helping bring back love ones all the time...yet the ironic thing I can't do it for myself." I said thinking faintly.

"There would have been no point." Eli said.

I looked at him.

"It would have been harder for you. She is a human and you're...not. You are reliving her death but imagine reliving the fact you saved her life only to have her repel and draw away from you. Imagine her thinking you're a witch, the devil's pawn, or even worse as you never age and she will turn on you just as fast. It would have been even more unbearable living with the memory that your sister, your very own sister was disgusted and horrified of your existence than of the image of a loving and caring sister." Eli said looking off to the distance.

"Did that...that happen to you?" I said slowly...not sure if he would answer as he was reluctant to reveal anything about his past. Very reluctant even more so than I was.

"Yes." He said simply and I looked at him when he responded.

There was a sad expression on his face but other than that there was nothing more.

"Anyway, didn't you say before the council you trusted her and believed in her?" he said trying hard to change the conversation.

I let him as I was afraid in prodding even more.

"Very wise decision Jin." He said.

I sighed.

"I said that I do but I doubt that she really believes me...especially after our conversation more like argument." I said slowly.

"Ah! So that is why you have been around here more so...here I thought you were finally throwing in the towel and letting us intervene." He said while smiling.

"There is no way I will quit on what I have already started...its just I had to cop out before I said it all." I said.

"But you did say something you didn't want her to know." He said.

I swung my hand to just move on to a different topic.

"What can I do Eli? What if she hates me? I think she hates me and thinks I'm of no help? What if she thinks I'm not for real and thinks I'm a fraud?" I said pleading to him.

He laughed and it was a deep hearty laugh that rumbled out of his throat.

It was to the point where he was crying and holding on tightly to his waist.

He continued to laugh and I dropped my hands that I had clasped together while pleading to him. I sighed and let him continue his laughter but it continued and continued until I got pissed and slapped him on his leg.

"Hey..." He said while his laughter slowly died down.

I looked at him with a questioning look and he just shook his head.

"Its because you are too cute its funny. You finally worry about what she thinks about you because you didn't tell her the truth? Let it go Jin. Just do your job and not worry about anything else.." he said.

"But Eli!!!" I whined.

"Okay, okay, okay...sheesh little kids. You are so not sexy when you act like this." He said while pouting.

"Please stop that you sound creepy when you say that." I said.

He laughed and he looked at me as he jumped down from the balcony and he came closer to me and he kneeled down and looked at me in my eye.

"Don't worry. Just do your job Jin. I don't know what I will do without you around so please don't say anything to her. Plus it seems you saved someone that was pretty more sensible compared to most." He said scrunching up his face.

I looked at him confused.

"You mean Shraddha?" I said.

He waved his hands in the air.

"Nope. The one you saved...the guy I think the one who died in the car." I said.

"Her husband...Kunal." I said looking at him.

"Yeah whatever his name is, it seems he cleared out one of your messes for you." Eli said.

I don't think she hates you. You have to give it the human's partner...he's a lot more sensible compared to her." He said.

I looked at him confused but I read what he was thinking and it became a lot clear.

I smacked him in the chest.

He chuckled as I hit him and I continued again and he grabbed my hand.

I looked at him.

"Don't insult Shraddha like that." I said defensively.

"I'm sorry if I'm not too inclined on the emotions and plight of others. I need results and sensibly is needed sometime." He said softly chuckling.

"Hmph!" I said quickly turning my head to the side, doing my best to ignore him.

He got up without a sound and I continued to have my hands folded together, ignoring him until I heard his footsteps again.

"I'm sorry Jin...please forgive me." He said.

I continued to ignore him until I felt something soft and fluffy come near me and I made a quick glance and saw a huge brown fluffy bear with a small bow tie and heart in its hand that said "Be Mine".

I thought without thinking and jumped on the bear and wrapped my small arms around it as I hugged the heck out of it.

It was so cute and adorable and I couldn't resist.

Eli was busy laughing and after a while I stopped because he picked me up along with the bear as I refused to let it go.

"It's so cute. So cute. So cute. So freaking cute!!!" I squealed.

He smiled.

"It was either that or have another set of chocolate be rejected." He said while pouting.

At that comment I slowly removed my hands around the bear and patted Eli's hand, well as much as I could reach.

"I was never as fond as sweets even when I was little...I mean when I was...I mean when I was a human. Plus it's just weird..." I said cocking my hand between us.

"I keep telling you, I don't see as a kid as you are not obviously one. You might act like one to pass by and you might look like one but I don't see you as that." He said simply.

"Its not fair you always know what I'm thinking but for the life of me I can't read a thing of what you're thinking." I said frustrated.

"Now you know how that human feel." He said simply.

I simply blinked at him and I remembered the conversation that caused me to start avoiding Shraddha.

"Stop saying "we" like we are in this together. I'm the only one blinded, I'm the one grasping at strays and trying to save my family, I'm the only one trying to figure everything out while you are just steering me along and playing and seeing if she will guess the right answer and will select the right person." she said.

I even cringed when I lied that I didn't know who she was.

I feel like such a liar and before I never really cared as it was a job and that was all...but

with Shraddha I was getting more involved than I should have.

I sighed.

"What is this...stop reading my thoughts its impolite." I said.

He laughed and without my notice he picked me up in his arms and I squealed being unaware of his sudden movement.

"I'm sorry, but you never answered my question." He said.

I looked at him confused.

"What question?" I said.

"It's on the bear." He said smiling and winking at me.

I scrunched up my face in confusion.

"You mean the "Be Mine" thing?" I said while staring at him.

"Yep! It's Valentine's Day" he said smiling.

I smiled at him and I got closer to his ear.

"Not in this lifetime." I said.

He looked at me shocked and I laughed at him.

"Happy Valentine's Day Eli." I said and surprising him I kissed him on the cheek.

"However, I will accept your present this time around." I said smiling and wiggling so he could let me down.

He chuckled and he let me down.

"Now if that wasn't an obvious lie. I'm shocked Jin you find me sexy?" he said.

I blushed and I almost tossed the bear at him, barely.

"Stop reading my thoughts! Sheesh why won't you just shut up and die!" I said frustrated.

"That isn't possible remember!" he retorted while laughing even more.

I groaned in frustration and he laughed while I walked back into my room.

******************

"Are we there...there...there yet." I said while trying to steady myself as I tried to walk.

"Almost there." Kunal said.

Although he had his hand in mine and was carefully guiding me, there were a couple of times I almost fell over on something and Kunal had to steady me or when I almost clipped my dress with my shoes.

"See this is ridiculous. I'm not going to be able to see my surprise if I end up with a concussion." I said.

"Stop whining sheesh, you will like it and your going to forgive me for making you go through all of this." He chuckled.

He continued to guide me along and as he did so I could hear some noise, soft, gentle, and light to the point I was thinking that it might have been more so of music that was being played.

Music?

But from where?

It didn't sound as if it came from a radio or stereo or any type of system, but it felt light and gentle as it was being played around my immediate space.

I was confused and used my left hand that was free to start swinging it around, hoping I would wound up with contact with something that might have a better description as to where I currently was.

I continued to swing it around and I heard laughter.

It was deep and a slow rumble and I turned my head at Kunal...which was hopefully from Kunal.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"You don't know how ridiculous you look just swinging your hand around. That is not going to help just to let you know." Kunal said.

I groaned.

"Why won't you just tell me already?" I whined.

"Stop being such a baby and just be patient." Kunal said while chuckling.

"Hmph!" I said simply.

The music became louder and soon it felt a lot closer than before.

Kunal's hand on my right side was released and soon I felt myself almost stumble until I crashed into a hard body.

I panicked for a quick moment but I smelled his scent and relaxed, knowing it was Kunal.

He slowly went behind my head, to my hair and slowly removed the blind fold that was wrapped around my eyes.

Once he did I had to blink a couple of times to adjust my eyes to the sudden light that was around.

I slowly looked up and saw Kunal staring at me with a soft smile.

"I wanted to surprise you especially knowing how things have been lately." He said and he leaned down and kissed the top of my forehead.

His lips and he gently brushed his lips against my skin and his warm breath tinkled my skin.

He drew away and smiled and what laid before me had me taken aback.

I looked around and saw small white and red decorative lights on the trees that were around.

The steady stream of music that I heard came from a group of people that were busily strumming on the violin around a small table that had flowers and small candle centerpiece on top of the table.

I smiled and stared at Kunal who was staring at me silently.

We continued to stare at one another and slowly he raised his hands and pulled my hair behind my ear.

"Happy Valentine Day my love." He said slowly and with a faint smile.

I smiled and I had to lower my gaze at him as I looked down and was blushing.

He chuckled and suddenly someone, a waiter came with something that I couldn't see.

Kunal thanked the guy and he turned back to me and he smiled.

"I wanted to do something special so...please just follow and don't ask questions this time." He said.

I nodded.

Without further notice he turned around with a large bouquet of roses that were such a pretty color of red and white.

"I don't know if you remember when I said to you...when I first confessed to you about my feelings." He said.

I looked at him and slowly nodded.

He smiled.

"Good you remember...but just in case I wanted to your jog memory and sort of recreate that night where everything really changed between us." He said.

Without warning he got down on one knew, slowly as his right knee kneeled down on the grass that was below to cushion his joint.

"That night I tried to convince you for my love for Dhruv, for you to see that I love him as my own son, he is my son no matter what happens. But this time I want to convince you of my love." He said staring up at me.

He had the biggest smile on his face, showing all of his white teeth, and I couldn't stop a smile from spreading on my lips as well.

"I said I became a better person...but I don't think I fully did. There were times over the last year where we didn't share as much as we should have. Where we wasn't as close as we could have...but I don't want to deny it's because I was so busy as well." He said faintly.

"But this time I won't let that stop us from starting anew this time around. At least much hasn't changed as Dhruv is quite a lot more honest than you are. You won't say when you like something and instead of answering or saying you like something, you instead say 101 questions instead. And you still don't express your feelings." He said.

I looked at him in shock

"Whatever!" I said offended.

He chuckled.

"You said the same thing before but wasn't it more that you aren't like this. Stop. And then whatever?" he said.

I smacked him softly on his arm.

He chuckled.

"I'm sorry I will continue so you won't beat me up." He said.

"Like I was saying you are still not honest with your feelings but it seems as of late...I'm thinking you are weakening and giving me some leverage by letting me share some of your burden." He said.

"I don't care how many times I have said this and I don't care how many times I will continue to say this as I never get tired from saying it. Each and every time is completely true and I will say it to you forever." He said.

At that I calmed down and slowly blushed at that statement.

Without missing a beat he took one of the roses from the bouquet and put it in his mouth.

I reached my hand out in concern.

"Be careful! Most roses have thorns on them." I said worried that it might hurt him.

His eyes softened and he smiled.

"Even if it did...I would gladly take the pain if it would have you dote on me." He said.

My heart started to pick up at that as I stared at him as I could see the admiration and love that was pouring out from his brown eyes that were staring back at me with silent adoration.

I smiled and he slowly placed the roses on ground and looked back at me.

"I love you...I love you Shraddha!" he said while spreading out his arms.

"Will you be my Valentine?" he said staring back at me.

My heart sped up even more as I could feel tears behind my eyes.

We didn't spend it like this the previous time...I was too hurt and my suspicion was slowly starting to eat up at me that I wasn't interested in being around him unless it was necessary for Dhruv.

I could feel tears slowly start to fall down my cheek and all I could do was stare at him, on bended knee, with the rose in his mouth, as he confessed to me the same way he did almost three years ago when we went to our college reunion.

Instead that time it was to marry him.

I smiled despite the tears that were starting to fall.

He slowly offered his hand to me and I stared at it as he smiled and the love in his eyes made me want to choke with the overwhelming emotions.

At that time I slapped his hands thinking he was just being so dramatic and just acting too filmy for my taste.

"But sometimes being a little filmy is a lot more romantic than you think. Plus I had to hang on one of the banners in the mall to finally have you confess your love to me. If I have to be filmy so be it as you would never confess your feelings unless I'm dramatic." He said one time when we discussing how we got together to Malika.

I smiled and instead this time I dismissed his hand and instead went forward leaning down and I could feel his breath and his body reacting as I suddenly came closer.

I brought my lips closer to his and slowly dragged the flower from his mouth into mine.

He stared at me as I did so and I stared at him.

When I slowly went down on my knees he looked at me in shock.

I slowly took the rose out of my mouth as he stared at me in confusion.

"You might not remember but you also said or rather asked if I could make you a part of my world." I said cocking my head to the side.

He looked at me and slowly nodded.

"I never really understood or rather forgot you ever saying that. But as of late...i realized how things can take a turn for the worst so I want to be a little bit honest." I said slowly while staring at him.

"You aren't just a part of my world...you and Dhruv...you both are my world." I said while raising my hand to cup his cheeks which felt warm and I could feel some small stubble of hair.

The music continued and it drifted slowly around us and it made the moment seem a whole lot more serious and romantic than any normal circumstance.

I smiled and for a minute or so we stood there until the same waiter interrupted.

"Excuse me sir I wasn't sure if you want us to start now?" he said.

Kunal looked annoyed and he looked up.

"Huh?"

"Sorry sir I mean for us to..."

Kunal softened his expression and apologized and told the waiter what to do and he nodded and he disappeared once more.

Kunal sighed and he slowly got up and he helped pull me up

He picked up the bouquet that was on the ground while I still had the rose that he had in his mouth in my hand.

"Shall we begin this night with a romantic dinner?" he said while winking.

I looked at him.

"Begin?" I looked at him confused.

"We are just starting." He said while smiling.

******************

5...4...3...2...and it began and the look on her face made my heart beat in admiration and happiness at the smile that spread on her lips.

We finished having dinner and I wanted to surprise her with something even more before we went back home with the last surprise I had in store for her.

She was almost like a child in a candy store when she looked at the fireworks as it spelled out my name and hers.

It said "K Luvs S" and she looked at me with so much happiness and amazement.

It was a last minute idea that I wasn't sure if it would pin as well together that I thought it would but somehow things seem to always work out no matter what.

She was still staring at the sky in amazement and she was laughing and clapping her hands that I couldn't help but smile.

I stared at her and she seemed a lot better than a few days ago and I smiled in relief.

I had one more surprise I wanted to show here here before I had another surprise when we went home.

"Shraddha..." I said softly.

She looked at me with tears in her eyes...again...and I reached over to wipe them away as I smiled at her.

"I have no words to say for this...you did all of this...I just don't understand how you could do all of this...I don't know what to say?" she said at a lost.

I smiled and I signaled for the waiter to come and he came with a small silver serving platter that was topped with a similarly paired lid.

He nodded and Shraddha looked at it and at me.

"I know I'm a usual foodie and all but even this is too much." She said.

I smiled and shook my head.

"That is not is what I want to give you." I said.

I nodded and the waiter opened the lid that had a silk red jewelry box that was topped with a bow and ribbons wrapped around the box.

Shraddha looked at me and her mouth was hanging opened while tears were starting to well up behind her beautiful brown eyes.

I didn't hesitate as I picked up the box in question and nodded for the waiter he walked away.

Without hesistation I handed her the box and she looked at me.

"Open it." I said putting my head in my hands while smiling at her.

She nodded and she took the box.

"You didn't have to...you really didn't have to as you did so much...you really did a lot more than you had to..." she said.

I smiled and winked at her.

"Really, then should I take it back?" I said.

"It's impolite to refuse a gift." She said keeping the box closer to her side.

I laughed at that.

She slowly took the ribbon of the box, not missing a beat to "oooh" and "ahhh" at the feel of the box's cover under her skin.

She took her time to open it and her eyes widened in surprise.

She looked shocked and completely speechless.

She looked back at me and this time she did cry and I went to her side.

"Shraddha..." I said confused.

"How...how...how did you know why..." She said while tears fell down her cheek.

I smiled.

"You told me you lost the one I originally gave you when you went to find me in the hospital." He said smiling.

She looked at me and for a moment her tears stopped and she looked at me confused and a mixture of fear seeped into her eyes.

I looked at her in confusion and smiled.

"You remember the time when I got into a car accident when my mother came to your family's house and insulted you and mama ji for supposedly seducing me?" I said.

Her expression seemed to softened and she relaxed.

"Ohhh that..." she whispered but I didn't catch it.

I picked up where I left off.

"You said you dropped it on the floor but could never find it thereafter so I thought of replacing it with a different type of gift." I said smiling.

She nodded and she slowly took the necklace in her hands and she rubbed the small heart on it that this time had her full name in cursive script.

She flipped it to the back that also had another message.

"Forever in my heart..." she softly while staring at me and I smiled back at her.

She rubbed her hand on it as she smiled.

I pointed at her hand and she looked at me.

"You should open it up...its something there for you." I said.

She nodded.

She used her nails to hold the heart as she tried to open it but her hands kept slipping through.

She kept on and she slowly started to grow frustrated.

I laughed and put my hands in around hers and she paused and she looked at me.

"Here I will help." I said slowly.

She nodded and she let me help her open the locket and not much seconds took for me to open it.

"Awesome aren't I?" I said while giving her a quick peck on her cheek, causing her to giggle and she looked at me after I did so.

She blushed and looked at what was inside and I could feel her emotions starting to overwhelm her once more.

It was a picture of Dhruv and of her parents, mama and papa ji.

I knew she missed them and there were times she would go for months without being able to visit them.

I know she did more so to calm down mom's talk about her intentions of seeking refuge back to her parents home and probably complaining to them about her and how she treated her.

She brought it closer to her eyelevel and she wrapped her hands around my neck without a second thought, bringing me closer and she laughed.

"You are going to be the death of me aren't you?" she said.

I smiled and chuckled.

"That isn't possible as you will be the death of me." I said smiling at her.

At that she froze and I could feel tension rack up on her body.

"I'm messing with you Shraddha...I love you...there is no way...I didn't mean that." I said to calm her down and have her to relax.

She did and she drew away and she kissed me on my lips.

It was a slow, steady, yet very soft and meaningful kiss as slanted her head, slightly as she pressed her lips against mine that was more than eager to respond to her advances and she didn't stop and I picked up even more with her movements.

We continued, despite our heavy breathing, despite knowing my lungs were starting to burn in the need for air, despite everything the sudden hunger and desperation of the kiss caught me by surprise but intrigued and interested me and my lower half beyond relief.

I was caught up.

I was sprung.

However, I had to withdraw when small little circles and squiggly lines started to cloud my vision.

I released her and I took a big gulp of air and I noticed Shraddha who was breathing as deeply as I was from the fall and rise of her chest.

She stared back at me and something more predatorily entered her gaze and my stomach became warm at the promise that was behind them.

I smiled as I wiped my mouth from her lipstick that was on my lips.

She blushed and lowered her gaze.

"I'm...I'm...I'm really sorry about that. I was just caught up in the moment." She said while looking away.

I took hold her chin and stared at her.

"There is no need for you to apologize. Especially when you kiss me." I said staring at her lips.

She looked at me and I took the necklace from her hands and purposely slid my hands against her skin.

My awareness of her is always operational 24/7 but I kept it under wraps just to have this evening go smoothly.

But since everything was winding down and it was almost time to go back home...for my last surprise for the evening...I couldn't hold back nor control myself anymore.

I slowly unraveled the necklace and purposely leaned myself closer to her as I slowly wrapped the necklace around her neck, carefully making sure it was in a position that I wanted it to be in and hooked it together.

I made sure the heart was closed, her name on the heart was facing forward as I carefully draped it on her chest and I watched as her eyes followed my movement.

She looked back up at me as I finished with the necklace.

"It's getting late...I think we should go home." She said.

Was it just me but the way she said it sound so...freaking tempting and alluring.

It was probably innocent but then again Shraddha was such a wild card.

One day shy and coy, the next she was experience and like a seductress that it was confusing to differentiate her from the Shraddha that usually was around in the day.

I smiled at her and leaned down and kissed her forehead and she paused and I could feel as her breathing momentarily stopped.

"I guess you're right we should go home." I said while not missing a beat to layer a whole bunch of implications and innuendo behind my words.
