azfee,that was simply awesome!!

Sorry! 😳 I know I'm late.. 😭 Pls forgive as I'm busy with college stuffs! Here goes the 7th part... Enjoy reading...

We will never understand people's love until we realize that they care for us. Just like what I did. I didn't even try to understand him until I saw him care for me. In fact, I was too surprised.

I was surprised because, I wonder how someone like Kapil, can love someone like me, who didn't even tried to feel his feelings. I've started to feel whether I can be grateful to him and his love. I can remember that I had stopped myself falling for him just because he used the word 'wasted' during the car repair morning. I'm totally confused. I think I don't deserve all these - Kapil, his mom, their love, their care, everything.

"Finished thinking?" Kapil entered the room with a glass of dark green liquid. "If you had finished thinking, drink this, sorry, gulp this down."

"What is it?" I enquired looking at the glass.

"This is a medicinal liquid. Mom made for you." He stretched it to me.

I sniffed at it. I looked up at him with a puppy face. "Kapil, I'm sorry for saying this. But the smell sucks!" I almost grimaced.

He laughed throwing his head back. "Not only the smell. Its taste also sucks. I told her that you won't like it. She said which medicine has ever tasted good. She was also right. Okay, just close your eyes hold your breath and gulp it down."

"No, no, please Kapil, I can't!"

"No way, Anjali. You should." He kept one of his hands at my head and brought the glass close to my mouth like almost feeding. Without protesting I drank it. Not that I liked it, but I was totally caught by his affection. God, I beg you, please make this a love. That is what all I could think.

"How was it?" he asked raising his eyebrows with anticipation.

I just nodded and smiled.

"Good girl." He tapped my shoulder and went out of the room.

How manly he is to walk like that! I'm becoming an addict to Kapil. I'm not over confident. But still, I knew somewhere in his heart, he has a soft corner for me.

When I came this morning, they called for their family doctor and checked my health. He prescribed the same medicine as the previous doctor and asked me to take rest for a week. Since after that we three- Kapil, his mom and I, had a very nice time together.

They had ordered their servants to give me fresh juice for every hour and they ate the same oats, which I had for lunch. You should have seen Kapil's face while eating the oats. He looked horrible and he grimaced his face like a child that I could hug forever. How sweet was that? Why I had not been a north Indian or he had not been a south Indian? Now I'm longing for that. However, I knew it definitely, that this could never happen. Even if Kapil's mother supports us.

I know I'm starting to fall for Kapil, but I have to control myself. If my guess was right, I had to stop Kapil also, from falling for me. It really aches to think.

Kapil entered the room again. Since morning I was not left alone. He's with me every time. I liked it.

"Hey Anjali, you know what?" Kapil asked me.

I shook my head which means no.

"Mom is going London tonight. To my father's place. Dad needs her to sign some business documents."

He explained.

"I see."

"Yes, Anjali. I'm leaving for a couple of days. Kapil will take care of you till that." His mother entered the room almost ready to get the flight.

"Alright, aunty. Please come soon, okay? I can't imagine this house without you." I smiled at her.

"Take care, Anjali. Don't miss the medicines." She turned to Kapil. "Driver will drop me at the airport. You stay with her."

He nodded in response.

"No aunty. We are coming. We both come and drop you there, please." I pleaded. I seriously don't want to stalk her son. If I'm not here, he'll surely go and drop her.

Kapil dropped us at the entrance and went to park the car. His mother spoke a lot about him. Even in the car, she was telling his childhood stories and how mischievous he was. I was uncontrollably laughing.

"This is the first time I'm leaving him alone on his birthday." She looked at the direction where Kapil was walking towards us in a long distance.

"Is it? When is his birthday?" I asked with a surprise.

"Tomorrow. I wanted to postpone this. But the appointment was with a very big international shot. We waited for a year. So, couldn't able to resist." I could see her worry.

I kept my hands on her shoulder and rubbed gently. You can take this as a signal to stop her as Kapil came close to us.

She hugged both of us gently and went in after some customs checking. We waited for another half an hour till she came to the final gate and waved her hands. We waved back and left the airport.

We came to the house, changed our dresses to night suits and sat down to talk. We talked, talked and talked. Nor I, neither Kapil felt bored. I hope. I waited for the time to strike 12. It was when he suggested me that.

"Anjali, are you feeling sleepy? Shall we go to the terrace?" He said amused.

"Yes, we can. And, no, I'm not feeling sleepy", He took my hand casually and we both walked towards the terrace. He led me to the water tank which was located in a corner of the terrace and asked me to climb on it.

"Climbing on this? Are you sure?" I asked him dazed.

"Trust me," he replied and signaled me to go up.

We went up. It was a small square of concrete floor covering the water tank. He lay down facing the sky, keeping both of his hands beneath his head and closed his eyes with a sort of relief. I, scared of the height, knelt down and looked around. I must confess that I was totally taken away by the beautiful sight in front of me.

There stood the tall buildings like touching the night sky. The highway roads parted the city like rivers that are rushing towards the sea. People still kept the whole city active even on the night time. There were cars zooming on the streets. I know these are all common things that one could see at the night time on each of their terraces. But what maked it special was the fusion of the glowing yellow light of the streets and the light from the full bright moon. It was a very special view. I was glad that I agreed to climb on the terrace.

I looked at Kapil. He was in the same pose. But this time, he looked at me intensely where in the last minute he had his eyes closed.

"Beautiful", I told him like whispering.

"I know. I know you would like it," he also muttered the words under his breath.

I smiled at him and I could feel my face getting hotter when he looked at me like that with so much passion and intention. I turned away from him to escape from his gaze holding mine. Then I remembered something suddenly. I pulled his hand fast and looked at his watch. Phew! 10 more minutes left. Thank God I didn't miss the '12 am' thrill.

"Kapil, stay here. I'll be back in sometime." I ordered him.

"Where are you going?" He got up and held my arm.

I gently took his hand off the arm. "Just wait. I'll be back in a jiffy."

He silently nodded.

I rushed to the kitchen and asked Kapil's servant, the cake, that I asked him to hide from Kapil. I called the bakery from airport and asked them to deliver the cake at home before we could reach the house. So, that I can at least make him happy rather than make him miss, his mom, badly.

I adjusted the candles on the cake, grabbed a match box, and rushed to the terrace. I kept the cake down and lit the candles. Leaving the cake down, I half climbed the tank and saw Kapil. He was laying there still, his eyes closed. For a minute, my eyes didn't cooperate. They wanted to look at him and the peacefulness of his whole mind. I stood there admiring him completely. Gosh! I bit my tongue. I'm forgetting everything.

I bent down, took the cake and climbed up. I held the cake properly in my hands and called his name slowly and excited. "Kapil'"

He slowly opened his eyes and was stunned to see me, with cake. He got up, sat with a shock or surprise and I prayed silently that I should look pretty. And with a warm smile, I said'

Kapil's P.O.V:

"Happy Birthday Kapil!" Anjali wished me with so much excitement and happiness dancing in her cute adorable eyes. "I wish you all the happiness in the world!" She continued.

It was just the candle light and the moon light around us. She looked incredibly gorgeous in the above said lighting. I was totally dumb to see her that way. Every time I see her, I'm falling in love with her.

"Thanks a lot, but how would you know?" I have to talk something or she will find out before I say.

"First, blow the candle." She pointed the candles just with her eyes, raising her eyebrow towards it.

When I was about to bend down and blew it, she covered my mouth with her hand. "Before that, wish something for yourself." I was stunned by her act. She was not hesitated to touch me. This itself is a half my victory over her.

I saw her without drifting my look anywhere and slowly closed my eyes. This small moment, that I closed my eyes without seeing her ached my heart. I must make a wish fast, so that, I can look at her again.

I made a wish, "God, I should see Anjali everyday throughout my life. I should see her when I wake up at mornings. I should see her when I close my eyes to sleep at nights. I should see her always around me. At last, I should see her healthy at my deathbed. I should see her last, when I close my eyes permanently. Please'" I finished wishing and opened my eyes slowly again.

There she was. Smiling again with the whole world's beauty in just her eyes. "Now can I?" I asked with a smirk in eyes.

She nodded and laughed. "Yeah!"

I blew the candles and cut the cake. All these time she was holding the cake just for me. I loved that.

I fed her a small piece of cake and she fed me back. She kept the cake aside and I was shocked as well as surprised to see her lay near me watching the sky and the stars. She is lying so close to me. Then how can I watch the sky, when my lovable princess was lying near me???
