Destined To Be Yours

Chapter 12 - Confession of Love

He froze when he felt her soft lips being pressed against his one.

On seeing him still stiff and cold, Shruti regretted kissing him. She parted herself from him but to her surprise, she felt his arm snake through her waist and crashed her to his hard chest.

She looked at him surprise, before she could react; he startled her when he repeated her actions.

Now it was her turn to be stunned by his actions. Her heart started to beat fast when he parted her lips to enter.

Using his free hand, he clutched her hair and made her to tilt her head for better access. She in turn moved her hand to cup his face and kissed him back.

No more turning back. She ran her hand through his soft hairs and then gripped his hair to pull him closer.

After few seconds both parted to take deep breath.

When they looked each other, they realized that they have been ignoring the truth which was binding them to each other.

Words remained unspoken. They let the one, which had the power to look into the soul, to confess their heart out.

I love you. His eyes glinted with love.

I love you too. Her eyes dilated which made him to dip in for another kiss.

Both loved each other, but they thought it was just attraction. A kiss made them to realize what they truly felt for each other.

Second time when they parted for kiss, he brushed his lips against her swollen ones in teasing manner. When she groaned in frustration, he pecked her lips first and then rested his lips on her forehead lingering there for few more seconds.

They felt complete. This is what they both longed for, Love.

She wished to stay in his arms forever. And so does him.

Suddenly she heard, or so imagined, her baby crying. She pushed herself away from his embrace.

Viswa, who was lost in world of bliss, suddenly got startled when he lost the warmth engulfing him.

He opened his eyes to see a huge gap between them with her back facing him and her head hung as if she was regretting.

Is she regretting? No, never. Her eyes conveyed something else. Something is bothering her.

He walked towards her reducing the gap and stood behind her. As much as he wanted to engulf her and assure her that everything is alright, he didn't want to frighten her. So he maintained a small gap between them.

"Shruti." He called out her.

He noticed how her hands were clenching painfully into fist.

When he called her once again, she lost it.

"I can't" he heard her whispering the words which broke his heart into pieces.

"What are you scared of?" he asked coming straight to the point.

She shook her head refusing to answer.

"Shruti." He called her in warning tone which brought shivers to her body.

"Let's forget this happened." Viswa lost his patience when she uttered them.

He pulled her hand roughly and made her to face him.

"Shruti, look at my eyes and say them again." He said in threatening manner. He was burning in rage.

Forget what happened? He would have if it was one side. But when he knew Shurti is also in love with him, he is not ready to let go love of his life.
