Part 4

Smack!!!... God that felt good!!!...

It has been an hour since we left Amma's place... He just dragged me to the car and started driving... for the next 45 minutes I dreamt of the perfect confession... my every Mills and Boon fantasy was in over drive... and when he stopped the car near the river front... my heart began to race in anticipation... I knew that this was it... that today I would finally get not just what I wanted but also what destiny was trying to pave my path for... few days ago I had realized that everything that happened to him and me was only to help us meet... Subbu and his betrayal... Shagun and her betrayal... Ruhi... Mihir and Mihika... even Amma's accident... they were a series of event which just helped create this cosmic bond we share... so here I was waiting for the one thing that would complete me... but again... He just had to make a mess...

I got out of the car and walked towards the river... turning my back to him and waiting... waiting for what he would say... I heard him take a deep breath preparing himself to speak... I feel him move closer... I close my eyes and try to control my racing heart beat... and then...

"Khaana Khaaya?"... for a moment I thought I was hallucinating... did this Dhakkan just ask me if I had eaten???... that's it... if Chandran aunty made me see red... his words made me see Bloody Red!!!... I turned back and didn't even realize when I raised my hand...

Smack!!!... God that felt good!!!...

I cant seem to control myself... my tears just don't stop... I am such a fool... here I was weaving romantic fantasies... and He... seriously!!!... after days of putting me through hell all he wants to know is if I have eaten... I am crying... no sobbing... I want to stop... but I just cant... why cant I stop crying... the best part is that I am not angry at Him... I see the shock on his face... he is still holding his face... rubbing the cheek where I hit him... he deserved it... but now I am concerned... without even realizing I hold his chin and turn his face... try to see if he is hurting... I cant seem to stop crying... but I cant seem to stop myself from caring about him also...

His cheek doesn't seem swollen... I ask him if it hurts... he doesn't answer so I finally look at him... even through my tears I can see the love in his eyes... and that makes me cry more... God the relief I feel... these last few days have been hell and I have been so scared... to the whole world and even to myself... I kept telling that everything would be OK... but deep down I feared... not that he was not in love with me... never that... because his eyes and his actions spoke of his love... but I feared that his love for me would be so strong that he would leave me... that his misplaced sense of guilt and the inferiority complex that his past had instilled in him would make him think that he was not worth it... these last few days were hell... because I saw the man I love, love me back... love me back in the most selfless way possible... and it scared me... that his infinite love for me would make him destroy me... him... us...

Every one sees Raman Kumar Bhalla... an ideal son, brother, father, son-in-law and husband... but no one sees the man who hurts first so that he doesn't get hurt... the man who spends money like water to show the world... who wants his wife to be accepted by the same high society that mocked him once... who uses sarcasm and bitterness to hide his love... his past has created a sense of inferiority in him... making him feel not worthy of love... but today... I am so relieved... so relieved that I just cant stop crying... its like all the pain, the humiliation, the hurt and fear is finally gone... finally he is mine...

He asks me to look at him... I shake my head saying no... I cant look at him... right now I am so fragile that if I see even a hint of anything other than love in his eyes... I will break... so I don't look at him... he holds my face and forces me to look at him... through the curtain of tears in my eyes I see the purest form of love glistening through his teary eyes... I see that infinite love in his eyes... he looks at me... his eyes begging me to understand... and suddenly I do...

"Ishita..."... that is all he is able to say when I stop him... because I don't need anything else... I see my hands go around his neck... I feel his hands holding hugging my waist... I hold him tight... I hold him tight trying to fuse our bodies... I feel the shudder of relief and happiness pass through his body... he understands... just like I read his eyes... he understands my touch...

I no longer need the words... I would like to hear those three words... I Love You... but they don't seem important anymore... the possession, respect and desperation in his voice... the intensity, honesty and love in his eyes... they tell me everything... I continue to hold him tight... finally I am home... home in his arms...

I always wanted a fairy tale confession... but what I got was even better... what I got was out of this world... his eyes told me everything... I heard everything... not a word was said but we both confessed our love... I feel him nuzzle my ear... his five o'clock stubble tickles me... slowly he holds me tighter and whispers in his husky voice... "I Love You..." I hear the words that I was dying to hear and hold him tighter... we hold each other and stand for a long while... the world is moving... time passes but we remain in that moment... enjoying the feeling of completeness...

Suddenly his phone vibrates and we are forced back into reality... He takes out his phone, smiles and passes it to me... it is Ruhi... I smile as I receive the call... I talk to Ruhi promising her that we will be home soon... we begin to walk back towards the car...suddenly he stops... I turn to see him look at me... before he says anything I reply... "I Love You Too..." I don't need the words anymore... because I can read his eyes... and... His Eyes Don't Lie...

so that's it... hope you all liked reading it as much as i liked writing it...
