Kiya's POV
13 July 2013. The day Keshav Bloody Desai is going to die. It's been 1 whole week since Panchi told me that he was going to propose. 1 whole week. 7 days. 168 hours. 10080 minutes. 604800 seconds. And still that stoneface haven't proposed to me yet.
Why would he take such a long time to propose? Does he think that I'll reject him? That idiot he doesn't know that he is the only person whom I'll ever love, the only person who understands me even more than I do. If there's anything that can make Kiya Gujral nervous, that's his presence alone. He doesn't know what kind of effect he has on me.
Look at me I probably sound like the heroines from those sappy hindi shows. What have you done to me Keshav Desai? Or maybe he doesn't love me like I do. What if he says that he only loved me like a friend? What if Panchi is wrong and he is not going to propose to me? What if he was trying to say that he doesn't love me as I do? So many what if's and no answers.
I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't recognize a presence behind me.
"Kiya!"
I turned around so fast that I almost got a whiplash. Speak of the devil and here he was, that stupid, idiot, moron, insanely gorgeous, handsome, sweet, understanding'
Oh my god Kiya! Breathe. That's right. Inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale.
" Good that I saw you here. I..erm'actually wanted to'. you know' talk about'..something."
And with that I was back to the breathless Kiya again. This guy certainly knows how to take a girl's breath away. Literally.
"Huh? Okay. Sure.That's awesome. "Great now I sounded like a complete idiot. Good job Kiya!
"I..uh.. want to tell you' that'" He stopped and stared at the ground as if that was the most interesting thing right now. If I wasn't so nervous I would have probably laughed at him.
"KD! What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything right?" I tried to assure him and he finally looked up and into my eyes as if searching for an answer.
"I.. uh'. Forget it. I can't do this.Sorry Kiya" he looked away.
Sorry Kiya. Sorry Kiya . These words echoed in my mind over and over again. He doesn't love me, my mind told me. I felt as if someon just cut off my air supply. I couldn't breathe. Never have I ever hated any word as much as the word sorry. It's over. He doesn't love me. I feel numb and empty.I can't look at him because I was afraid that he would see how much this affected me.
And before I could run away he Keshav Desai was kissing me Kiya Gujral.
I have imagined kissing KD a lot of times. But this was nothing close to the real thing. He kissed me with passion, care, fear, longing and the most prominent, he kissed me with so much love that no one could compare to. He pulled back and rested our foreheads.
"Kiya. I always used to have trouble in expressing what I feel. Throughout my life I thought that I would never love someone in my life. But you came into my life and turned my life upside down. I just want to say"
"I"
He kissed me again.
"Love"
And again.
"You"
KD's POV
I was used to living a lonely life.
My lone thoughts were like a second home to me. I didn't allow anyone to come near me and avoided people like they were plague.
I never thought that a girl would make me feel like the happiest man in the world. I probably sound gay now but I would do anything for her. I can't imagine a life without her.
But seeing that she hasn't yet replied to my confession makes me nervous. Why is she taking so long to reply?
"Erm Kiya. I just poured out my heart for you. You could say something now" Shit. I didn't expect to say that out loud.
She hit me on the chest a few times. Wait a second, im confused. Don't the girl cry in happiness and say I love you back or says that she doesn't love me back. That's what Ranveer said. Then why is she hitting me? I knew I shouldn't have taken any advice from him.
"Does that mean you don't love me" My heart broke even at the thought of her not loving me back. But I wont blame her. She deserves much more than someone like me.
"You idiot! Stupid moron! That's for making me wait for more than 1 month for you to finally say this." she started hitting me again.
"Of course I love you too stoneface."
And that was all I needed to hear.
She was mine. My life, my future, my hope.
And most importantly, my love.
"Hold on! What did you mean by you were waiting for me to say it? Oooh I guess someone was impatient chicklet"
"Oh just shut up stoneface"
