"What?" he could not hold back his tears and they inevitably poured out from his eyes, "what? You do? Really? I..." he was so overwhelmed that words seemed to block in his throat.
"Yes," I nodded, "yes, I love you...I love you so much," my eyes were filled with tears.
He sighed and grabbed me in his arms. He held me tightly, never wanting to let me go. "I never thought this day would come. Oh pia! I thought I'd lost you. I love you so much, I'll never let you go now. You've brighten up my life."
"Abhay," I said confessing, "I never thought I could love anyone. I never believed in love but you forced me to change my mind. No matter how hard I tried to stay away from you and to not let you conquer my heart but you still found a way to ignite the flame of love in my heart."
Unwrapping me from his arms, he cupped my face and said, "Everything seems so peaceful now," then he kissed my forehead and wiped my tears.
"Oh my God!" he chuckled all of a sudden, "is this even real? It seems like a dream. Am I dreaming? Huh! I never thought this day...or night would come in my life. Wow! Look where we've come. It all seems like a dream. I never thought this would happen. I thought...I thought you'd go away from me like everybody did."
"I won't leave. I would never leave you." As I said this he once again held me tightly. I stayed still in his arms for a while and then decided to speak out, "Abhay?"
"Yes?"
"Promise me something, will you?"
"Of course," he said looking into my eyes.
"Never let me down. I've put my trust in you. If you'd break it then I will be destroyed for life."
"I promise," he said taking my hand in his hands, "I will never break your trust. I am honored to have you in my life and I am not that stupid to ruin everything. I love you, pia and I'll be loving you till eternity." As he said this he leaned his face on mine and kissed me. It was our first official kiss.
"Wow! So you finally confessed, huh?" said misha with excitement on her face. She was happy to see that her best friend had finally put her fears aside and embraced the feeling of love but what puzzled her was the fact that pia was now in U.S. and consider Abhay as a bad experience.
"Well..." Sighed pia, "I won't lie, it was a fairytale moment for me. It was like I had found my Prince Charming," she giggled and then shook her head in disappointment like she had immediately realized that it was nothing but a delusion.
"What happened then?" asked misha curiously.
"Abhay kissed me once again and then laid his forehead on mine. "Come on," he murmured grabbing my hand.
"Where?" I asked curiously.
He pulled me tightly towards him and said, "Don't worry about the destination, just enjoy the journey."
I smiled and nodded.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************
After a short but pleasant journey, we reached our destination. It was a small house. A small Victorian white house with blue colored slanting roof. There were few other houses around it but it was distinct because of its structure and its simplicity with elegance. We got out of the car.
"This is my humble adobe," said Abhay pointing at the house I was admiring sitting in the car.
"Beautiful!" I exclaimed.
As I was standing there looking at the house and all around it, Abhay suddenly lifted me off the ground in his arms and said, "That's how couples are supposed to enter in their house for the first time."
As he said this a smile spread across my face and my cheeks flushed red. He lifted me towards the house, all the while his gaze fixed on me. He managed to unlock the door and we swirled inside the house. The house was beautiful from inside too. It was decorated in a traditional English manner. I thought he would keep me down now but he kept on lifting me and took me upstairs.
We entered into a room. It was pitch dark. Abhay turned on the lights and he finally kept me down. The room was as beautiful as rest of the house.
"This is my room," said Abhay.
"Nice," I said looking around. He room was so cozy. The walls were made of wood paneling. In the center there was a large bed made of mahogany. On the right hand corner of the room there was a study table with a large pile of books on lying on it and the shelf opposite the table contained his music system along with what seemed like thousands of CDs.
"Please sit down," he gestured towards the small couch facing his bed. We both sat down.
"So this is your place," I asked looking around.
"Yeah, do you like it?"
"I love it. I like the way it's decorated in traditional English style."
"It's my parents' house. My mother decorated it. She left like it like this and I never tried to alter anything," he said with sadness on his face, "wait let me show you something." He got up went to his drawer to take out a photo album. He came back and sat beside me, "This album encompasses all the great memories that me and my family shared together."
"I would like to witness it," I said with a smile.
He opened it and I witnessed some of his greatest memories while the nostalgia took over him.
"That's my mom," he said with smile on his face, "isn't she beautiful?"
"She is," I answered. Her mother was really beautiful. She had long black hair and beautiful blue eyes. Abhay got the eye color from his mother.
"And that's dad," he said with mixture of emotions.
"Oh my God you look just like him," I exclaimed looking at the photo. Abhay looked exactly like his dad. He had black hair like him and was lean and muscular.
"Really?" he asked delightedly, "Dad was really handsome. Everyone used to say that I went after him. He was a really great guy," his voice was cracking as he was talking. I was aware of the reason behind it.
"It was not your fault Abhay."
"Huh! It was, it was my fault pia," he retorted.
"You didn't mean to shoot him."
"But I did. I did shoot him. He died because of me..."
"Abhay," I said gently touching his shoulders to console him, "you've been through enough. You've got to move on."
He gave a faint smile and said, "I'll try to," though we both knew that he was lying because he thought he would never get rid of this guilt.
As we were talking someone rang the doorbell of his house. Abhay went downstairs to see who it was while I inspectioned his room. I was looking around his room, checking out his CDs, trying to figure out what music he likes and then I went to his study table and found a large pile of law books, "very studious" I said to myself. Then I finally sat on his bad to relax. Suddenly I noticed that there was a book hidden underneath the pillow. I took it out and its title read, "Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte".
I was amazed to see that Abhay could read a book like this. He made it pretty clear to me that he's not interested in reading any book other than academics and this "boring" classic was completely out of question. As I was flipping the pages, Abhay entered the room, "Sorry about that. It was my neighbor. He said someone came by and asked about me."
"Oh no problem," I said turning around, "umm by the way I didn't know that you read too. I mean you told me that you don't read boring stuff like this."
"Umm yeah...well it's not mine you see."
"Really? Then who does it belong to?"
"It's someone else's."
"Oh," I thought of playing with him, "Then it must belong to one of your girlfriends who left it here...underneath your pillow," I said raising my eyebrow.
The color of his face faded, "no...no...it's mine only. I don't get girls here, not anyone."
"Really?" I smirked.
"Yeah actually," he said coming towards me, "remember when I met you in the book store that day and I told you that I was waiting for someone? I lied. I wasn't waiting for anybody. I was following you," he said looking at the ground wondering what my reaction would be.
"Whoa what? You were following me? So you were already determined to score, huh? You're such a strategist. You had everything planned already," I said almost yelling.
"Oh God look at you. You still don't believe me, do you? Yes, I was following you because I thought you were really beautiful and something pulled me towards you, I just wanted to know you."
"Whatever," I said rolling my eyes.
"pia, you're unbelievable. What should I do to make you have a little faith in me? And this book, remember what you told me about it? You said you have already read it twice and want to read it again, remember?"
"Yeah..."
"And so that made me curious. I wanted to know what's in this book that you are willing to read it again and again. I just wanted to experience what attracted you so much to it. So I bought and read it. And to be honest I loved it," he said taking the book from my hand, "It kind of grows on you. It's so melancholic and gloomy and the character of Heathcliff, wow. He was such a passionate lover. It's really tragic."
"You liked it?" it made me happy to know that he loved one of my favorite novels.
"Yes I love it. But I hate that Catherine girl. She was so mean; she ditched him for other man."
"Still Heathcliff ruled her heart," I retorted.
"What's the sense in that? They couldn't be together in the end."
I nodded though I knew that he still couldn't extract the essence of this novel. "I am really glad that you liked it," I said smiling.
"You see, I am ready to be a geek and read all the books that you want me to but I just have one condition," he said coming closer.
"And what's that?" I chuckled.
"That you'd love me forever and will never leave my side," he said looking straight into my eyes.
"I promise," I said gently caressing his cheek.
He leaned his face on me and kissed me. I held him tightly. He slowly moved towards my forehead and then kissed my nose coming down to my lips again. He stopped and rested his forehead on mine. "Guess what?" he whispered.
"What?" I murmured.
"I've got something for you," he said pulling apart.
He went to his closet and took out a small box. He brought it to me, "there's a little surprise for you in there," he grinned.
"Really?" I smiled.
He nodded and held my hand. "Please sit" he said gesturing towards the bed. I followed his instruction and sat down, still holding his hand. He smiled and went down on his knees. I was startled. I had an inkling that he was going to give me a ring.
He opened the box and took out what appeared to be an anklet. He lifted my right leg and brought it closer to his face. Then he put the anklet around my ankle and tied the knot.
"Beautiful," I said admiring it on my legs.
"It looks beautiful on you," he said fidgeting the anklet. Then he bent his head down and kissed it.
Shivers went down my spines. He continued kissing my foot softly and moved down to my toes. Then he stroked the bottom of my foot tingling my whole body. Leaving my foot, he moved upwards to my leg, kissing it all the way to the knee while his other hand was still stroking my feet.
I scrunched the sheet tightly determined not to loose my control. I knew he would have his way with me but I was still confused whether I want to take another step or not. He kept kissing and caressing my leg, his soft lips felt like rose petals against my skin.
I lay on my back on his bed; his kisses didn't stop for a moment. I had scrunched the sheet tightly. My body was aching in pain; a desire was taking over me. I was moaning in pleasure. I wanted him so bad. Every inch of my body was coming alive. I opened my eyes and saw him leaning on me. The warmth of his body on me warmed me more. He kissed me softly while he interlocked his fingers with mine. In my heart I was now sure that I won't regret it.
