Sathya...

"I love you...." he whispered against my lips. I was taken aback. He loves me. I blinked and saw him. I wanted to be with him yes i know i couldn't go away from him. Is that called love ?? Am i in love with him ?

He nuzzled his nose in my neck and i giggled at that. It was tickling. "Could you answer my question?" he whispered against my neck. I felt goosebumps all over me. Gulping hard i nodded my head. Smiling against my neck and giving a small peak he lifted his head from there and saw me straight. I saw him straight his eyes. I could see my reflection in there or his heart which is having me ??

"Why did you leave me when you could not actually leave me ??" he asked me making me gulp visibly. "Honest answer love i need the truth.." he demanded.

"Well as we got divorced..." i started making his face turn fury. I couldn't stand to see that face so i held him tight and kept my head on his heart and he lulled me with he tapping my head.

"I thought to step out of your life. Now don't interrupt i will complete it full. I thought i should not burden you and so i asked my colleague to find a job abroad. When you were at office i attended the interview through video conferencing and got placed in Mauritius. I was about to start but then something in me made me stop from going. It was hard for me go away from you. I wanted to run back to you and hold you like this. But i couldn't do that because i thought you would not love me or i thought i...." i couldn't frame any word as how i feel right now. I wanted to go away from him yet i wanted to be in his embrace. I was confused. Totally confused. I blinked at the thought.

"You're not leaving me..." he whispered. I couldn't help but smile as i was not willing to leave him either. "I don't want to go either." i whispered back.

Now it's my turn to ask him.

"If you love me so much why did you hurt me that way... you know first when we got married.." i dragged as i yet again couldn't frame words.

"Ok i will be honest to you..." he said making me nod. Smiling at me and kissing my cheeks he spoke.

"You know when we came back from our studies everything was messed up with Vivek..." he said and i nodded. I lost the hope of finding you... my love for you was fading or i thought i never had at first place. It was that time i met her a girl i loved. I don't want to take her name. But i fell for her. Slowly yet deeply."

I felt myself getting jealous.

"It was years back. She would smile at me as if i meant the world to her. She was so innocently beautiful i planned to propose to her but Vivek for some reason was totally against it. He said she doesn't suit me. She is not worth my love. I did not give a damn to him for that.

I planned to propose to her. I wanted to make a surprise for her for which i went to her home without informing her at all. When i reached her house i found her doing her deeds with another guy. I couldn't trust my own eyes. The love of my life was all the time cheating on me. When i went back home mom was making a huge fuzz for divorce from dad. Dad loved mom but she said she was tired of me and dad. You know everything happened so quick i lost the respect for woman. I thought they were only behind money and i am so sorry for behaving like a jerk.I promise you i would never ever do that" He said honestly. I wanted to ask him just one thing.

" Do you still love her or have any contact with her ??" He saw me blinking few times and hugging me close with him screaming high " my wife is jealous. Yaahoooo" he yelled.

"No i am not..." i spoke in a harsh tone from my point of view.

"Oh you are love... of all the things i said you were asking me was i still in contact with her. Damn you are jealous."

" Yes i am jealous any problem ??" i asked him making his head nod in no.

Pulling his collar i saw him straight making his eyes wide a bit.

"Look Agnihotri you have committed to me. If you ever again switch your eyes from me i won't mind scooping your eyes from your socket. Keep that in your mind." I threatened making me take aback. He was really scared.

"You're not meaning the eye scooping part are you ??" he asked me giving his nervous chuckle.

"Well ask Vivek how he got his shoulder tattoo ?? it was my biting when he did something he promised he won't do it. I bite him hard which turned into a mark. To cover that he has got the tattoo mark in his left shoulder. You can't turn back Agni Hotri you are so dead" i threatened him.

After i don't know how long of cuddling and kissing session finally he let me go and we started back home. It was just a curve ahead to enter the mansion and i held his hand tight.

"Hmm ??" he asked me. "I'm scared."

He turned to see me and held my face and saw me.

"Why ??"

"they are going to kill me. I never did this before and i am totally shit scared of both the devils. They are no less to each other." I said chewing my nails. He chuckled and said" isn't that how you would behave if i ever had left you without saying anything ??" he asked me.

"Well honestly i don't know how i would react coz i still can't say i love you but i just can't find the guts to leave you. If that is what you call love then.. " i was cut off by him looking at me deep.

"I know you are confused but just keep one thing in you heart. I LOVE YOU and you would eventually find that you do that too in some days. OK ??" he asked me. I nodded my head.

Entering the house for the first time in my life i felt terribly scared. I was standing behind Shiva not for once leaving his right hand with my right hand where as he was holding my bag in the left hand. I heard a pair of foot steps nearing us.

"R.I.P in advance Sathya..." i thought for myself. "Well look who is here..." came a sarcastic voice of Vivek. I held Shiva's hand hard. "Man easy... she did something wrong and now wanted to apology."

"Dare you take her side." Vivek yelled at me.

"I am dead...totally screwed."

As if someone from behind caught me Prakash held my hand and saw me. His face was hurt. I tried not to cry infront of him. How did i went so blind of leaving my friend.

"That's all we had right ?? You just thought we were like that's it. It did not matter after all those years of our friendship." I nodded my head in no and i tried to hold his hand but he dodged that. I didn't wanted to loose his friendship at any cost. I held his hand again and tried not to cry again but failed terribly.

"I'm sorry...." i hiccuped my cry and he held me tight. "I'm gonna kill you if you ever make this stunt ever again. Get that ??" he whispered to me. I nodded my head but not once loosing the hold.

Looking from Prakash's shoulder i saw Vivek. He was hurt. I know what he is thinking. Looking at him i stretched my arms. It all took him to melt. Pushing Prakash he held me tight. It was as if a reunion but to the fact it is a reunion. I held my brother after seven years or more.

"I missed you..." i whispered. Kissing my head he whispered back "I miss you too Shakthi"

Shiva removed Vivek's hand and side hugged me making Vivek look at him furious. Come love let's go.. he said just to provoke Vivek. Holding me tight he kissed my cheeks. That was it... Vivek screamed on top of his voice making Shiva run from there and i laughed my heart out. Prakash held me and said "NO more running promise ??"

Promise. I smiled at him.

This is how i started my journey to live. This is how i won my test of time.

But hey wait... Aren't we forgetting something ??

Well Wait for the last update which would say how we are now living and how happy i am finally.
