HEARTBEAT -TWINJ- FF -Page 44- What is Love? Note page - 49 - Page 29

I looked at her and my heartbeat paced fast...

"He left me for Gunjan" I remembered Riya crying and saying this to me...

"But you are not Gunjan.." I blurted out..

"What?..."

She gave me a puzzled look..

I continued looking at her..and was trying to remember more details...

Riya had been a close cousin of mine during high school..

We had not maintained much contact due to my medical college.. and recently I had been avoiding her calls because she had texted me saying she wanted to talk about Twinkle..

As much as I adored Riya as a sister... I just didn't feel like her invading that space of mine..

The Twinkle space..

Riya had habit of saying bad things about anyone but I had really wanted to ask how did she know her as she had hardly visited my college.

So Dhruv was the connection between them maybe.. but why was Twinkle so scared..?

I saw tears falling down her cheeks .. and without thinking anymore ..

I pulled her in my arms..

I hugged her as tightly as possible..I didn't want to let her go..I just wanted to take away all her pain...

She was trembling

I realized she had started crying more...

My heartbeats were pacing fast and the only thought was to shut away everything .. and just calm her down..

I didn't care who Dhruv was and what was her connection to him or what Riya knew..all I knew was that she was mine and I was hers and nothing could come in between that.. I tightened my grip around her..and stroked her hairs with my hand

All I wanted was her to stay with me like this.. always..

Her breathing became slow and I realized she had wrapped her hands around by back too..

She seemed to be cooling down.. with which even my heartbeats slowed..

...

I didn't know what to do anymore.. I wanted to tell him everything but the thought of losing him incapacitated me again...

Riya is his cousin.. what if he knew a different version to my story and would just not trust me..?

But his eyes told me that they trusted me.. and I was scared to hurt him..

I would hurt his trust by saying all that but hiding was even more worse..

I started trembling I was too scared to lose him

Every part of my body and soul craved to be with him now and forever..

These issues didn't make any sense to me.. why should they matter?

The only thing that should matter is that I love him and I am not letting him go..

But what if he gets hurt about I telling him how I proposed Dhruv.. what if he thinks my love for him is not pure?.. what if he thinks he is my second choice when the truth was ...

That what he made me feel .. Dhruv had never.. The love I saw in his eyes... the way his expression told me how special I was to him and my soul stood witness to how my heartbeats ran at a different rhythm in his presence and how even his thought could make me smile..in a few weeks my soul and heart had readily submitted to him and even my brain knew that he was the one and thus stopped resisting

Dhruv never had that affect on me and I had never felt so unique and special like I felt for him..

The way his silence could be read by me.. the way my tears affected him.. the way he had patiently let me take my time and understood my hesitations..

He was definitely my first love and I didn't want to tarnish that image in any way..

If I told him about Dhruv... then...

Tears started flowing and He pulled me in his arms..

Giving me a hug I needed so much..

His touch... did wonders to my soul and how suddenly peace fell over me.. The way his arms wrapped around me holding me.. protecting me..from every pain..

And his touch had the power to heal my every wound leaving me new ..like I was never hurt..

And I knew I was his and he was mine...

...

After what felt like an eternity I reluctantly let go off her.. as she had shifted a bit motioning me to let go..

Her hairs brushed on my cheeks and I looked at her..

She looked sad... and I wanted to take her pain away

But then her expression changed and she whispered

"Kunj ... I need to tell u something"

Some fresh tears rolled down her cheeks

"First you need to stop crying"

I immediately wiped them off...

"No just listen..."

Her pleading eyes made me give in..

I had to let her...take this pain off her...

I felt she was carrying a weight since a long time and maybe this is the pain that had prevented her...

...

I looked at him as slowly he wiped my tears off...

I looked in his eyes..how my pain was affecting him equally...

How with every tear I shed..a wrinkle of pain would appear on his face...

He deserved to know ..he should know

I needed to lift this burden off from my heart...

And I knew ...the way he understood my silence.. my pain.. he would understand this as well

"Can we sit?"

He held my hand without further ado.. and we walked nearer to the water and sat..

He maintained his hold... and my heartbeats were going crazy as usual but in a peaceful happy way..

And I spoke...

" I have to tell you something about my past... I don't want you to think that it affects my present or..."

But he cut me off..

"If you think your past affects me in any way.. then you don't understand me.."

He said in an almost disappointed tone

But he didn't let go off my hand...

"it does not matter to me.. what matters to me is now .. and future and u..."

What else did I need to hear?

My fear disappeared...

His assurance ... his tone.. his belief in me... gave me strength to carry on..

It was as if even without expressing our feelings in those three words...we already belonged to each other..

...

I held her hand... and she let me...

I wanted to give assurance that I was with her no matter what..

It didn't matter whether I told her I love you or not..

Today..with her...holding her...being with her...we didn't need words to label that yes... we are in love..

I did want to say those words to her... but at the moment I wanted to take her pain away...

What past?.. It didn't matter to me..It was none of my business...what mattered is that I am with her till the end .. that is all..

The way she looked at me.. the way her eyes sparkled when I touched her... the way she fit perfectly in my arms...I knew she was the one.. for me... and for me that is all what actually mattered..

...

"Dhruv was my childhood best friend...I was really close to him during my school days.. we studied together..played together.. pretty much did everything together.. and then when we were..."

I lost my voice...It was hard...

He looked at me and his grip on my hand tightened...

" when we were In 11^th grade... Riya became his girlfriend... and that made me jealous...I started thinking that I was losing him..."

My throat went dry again..and then Kunj got up from my side momentarily letting go off my hand..

My heartbeats started racing even more..

And then he sat in front of me..

Took both by trembling hands in his...

"It does not matter.. but if you want to go on.. I won't stop u"

I was relieved by his touch...

His grip on my hands were soft yet firm...

"Then I proposed him ... but he said no.. and then...I "

"and then you stopped believing in love"

He completed my sentence...

I looked at him and a tear fell...how rightly he had understood...

"yes.."

I whispered..
