Once your souls got intertwined, Even if you try you can't stay away from each other. She was ready to loose all the control over her body when he held her intimately and placed her in the bed. He couldn't stay away from her anytime more when she commanded him to take her whole with her eyes, No words exchanged but emotions exchanged. Both were so thankful for their fate, Neither of them believed that they will experience that moment again, But life was so unpredictable. 

Goosebumps rose all over her when he slipped his hand inside her drenched jeans and rubbed her. He could feel her stiffen but her eyes were tight close. But he hardly blinks, His eyeballs didn't go away from her. She pulled him towards her face when she couldn't take it. He kissed her gently cupping her face, He nibbled shoulder and slowly took her tees and inner garments from her body. 

"Hey! Look at me" - He whispered. She opened her eyes, Her eyes were burning in passion. Over the next moment, She half-sat in the bed naked before him, She didn't feel any sort of shyness but she conveyed the unbreakable trust she had for him. Tears escaped from his eyes when he experienced the undying love for him from her. Wiping off his tears, She gently kissed him and he cupped her breasts in his palms while his thumb caressed the erect nipples gently. She never thought one's gaze would make her feel like a queen who had everything in her. He engulfed her to a hug and kissed madly, Her hair set open and still wet. He ruffled his hands in her hair and she loses her balance and fell back to the bed. He wanted to worship every inch of her skin and convey how he felt without her in these years but she stopped and stared into his eyes. He understood. 

Moving her legs little wider, He entered her, Hissing in pain, She dug her nails in his shoulder, A morn escaped when he was finally into and started to move slowly at the start and the speed increased, He finally stopped when he recognized that she came beneath him. But she didn't let him go, It was not like she wanted him physically but she felt like it was the last day of the world and she never wants to leave or stay away from her even it's for a millisecond. He obeyed and he wanted the same. It was twice, Multiple times until Her legs became numb and his body went out of stamina. He collapsed next to her heaving out a deep breath. 

"Are you for real?" - His eyes asked her. 

"Same question!" - Her eyes responded with a smile and hugged him tightly, He took her in his shoulder and caressed her hair. She slept in seconds but he couldn't able to sleep, Even though he was happy and felt complete, He felt something still unspoken to her which he wanted to tell as soon as possible.

*********

"Good morning" - He wished her with a breakfast tray of her favorite food along with her cold-coffee. There was a pleasant smile in her face when he kissed her good morning. She never asks for a better morning. Shifting to his tees, She kept the tray in the bed and had a piece of orange sipping the cold-coffee. 

"You made them?" - Anika asked with a smile. 

"Anything for my queen..." -  He replied. 

"Yeah, My king's queen..." - She said while showing him the tattoo in her left ring finger. He smiled at her back. 

"I just can't believe, We are married..." - Anika exclaimed. 

"Yeah... Without any photographs... Have you ever thought about what we would be showing to our children?" - Shivaay said but anika shifted to his lap and nodded no while biting her lips. 

"Stop doing that" - He chuckled. 

"Let's register our wedding once we go back to Dehradun..."- Anika said while keeping her head in his shoulder. 

 "Hmm..." - He responded while pulling her more into his heart. 

"I want to say something" - Shivaay started. Anika responded. 

"These ten years, Without you were so difficult for me..." - Gathering up all the left out courage, He decided to tell her which he longed to tell her. But Anika stopped him.

"Don't shivaay, I know we both struggled a lot without each other but we already stepped into the future leaving everything behind, Let's not pull out anything..." - Anika asked while cupping his face, The courage he had faded away like a passing cloud. 

*********

The time has the power to heal everything and When you're with your loved one's, You will become more fearless and powerful, Anika felt it in the past two days, For the past two days, They didn't anywhere but stayed inside their room and cherished each and every second of their beautiful life. Shivaay didn't try to tell her anything and hoped for a better beginning. He messaged everything to his friend rudru but he insisted shivaay to tell everything to Anika. Even though shivaay said 'yes'. He didn't believe anything and packed his bags to Nainital to tell everything to anika. But Shivaay didn't know anything about it. 

On the fourth day of their visit, They decided to go to nainai peak. Anika was so excited, unlike shivaay, Even though he had many things in his mind, He didn't show anything in his face. He looked happy for anika, But inside, He wasn't.

"Shivaay, Take pictures..." - Anika gave her mobile phone to him. He switched on the camera and covered the whole view, But his phone slipped from his hand in a few seconds and he started to cough. Anika got scared and took him back to the resort, He pulled to the bed and buried his head in her breast as soon as they get back to resort. Anika became so confused, He didn't say anything but didn't let her go anywhere away from him. He stayed there for the complete three hours, Over these years, Anika patted his back and continuously kissed him in his head. 

"What happened?" - Anika finally asked when he stopped shivering. He pulled himself back and look into her eyes. His eyes were helpless. 

"Hey, Shall I call the doctor? What happened?" - Anika sounded like crying. He looked at her and pulled her down and made her rest in his chest. 

"Whatever happens, Be strong, OK... Please remember, You're always my strong lady..." - Shivaay whispered. Tears crossed from anika's eyes. 

"What happened?" - She again asked him in a pleading tone. 

"Just slipped, Feeling good in your presence... Stay with me" - He whispered in a weak tone. 

"I will... Till my last breath..." - She replied. 

"Remember ani, We had a fight when I asked you to quit smoking... And I didn't speak with you for two days, Even though it was your fault, I had to say sorry, And kept the letter in the chemistry lab under your blanket... Remember?" - Shivaay asked out of blue. 

"I quit smoking..." - Anika replied innocently.

"I know you're a sweetheart now, But you were a brat then..." - He said and pulled her closer towards her. 

Anika had no idea what was going inside shivaay's mind but Shivaay decided. He added two sleeping pills in anika's dinner and she dozed off as soon as they went to sleep. By then, He took his phone and sent a message before he could do what he was up to. 

"I know it will hurt, Ani... But you have to your own medicine for your heartbreak... Even though it will take some time, You will do it... I know about my strong lady... Love you, Anie... Thank you for being there as my only family... You know right, I love you more than you could imagine..." - He whispered in her ears and kissed her forehead before he left the place.
