"Sweetheart, what had happened?" He clasped her hand and asked, caressing her knuckles and gazing at her intensely.

"Manik, Goons attacked me but somebody saved me. There he is standing." She told him and turned but that person had already gone.

"I think he left. I couldn't even thank him properly. Manik, I became so scared." She told him sadly and tears brimmed in her eyes.

"Now I'm with you, sweetheart, so you don't need to be scared of anything. I won't let anybody harm you." He assured her after clasping her face. She nodded grimly and he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Now they are going to the Malhotra mansion, sitting in the car. Both are silent. She is looking outside of the window and lost in deep thought. He is also lost in his world while driving the car. He felt as if he had lost everything when he misunderstood she had left him forever.

What if she really leaves him one day? What he will do without her? How he will live without her? These thoughts are killing him and making him insane.

He suddenly applied the brake and she looked at him in confusion as the car halted. He's staring straight with a serious look, grasping the steering.

Next moment he burst into tears and started crying making a sound like a small baby, making her worried.

"I was so scared. I thought I lost you and now you would never come back. I thought I would never be able to sleep in your arms, now no one would call me baby so lovingly, I would never be able to hear your sweet voice, I would never be able to eat the tasty food made with your hands and I would be alone again. If you leave me, I'll again go into the darkness as you're the light of my life. You brighten up my life like a shining star. You're the only reason for my happiness. I'm nothing without you. Whatever I'm, I'm only yours and I have become from your love. If you leave me, I'll be destroyed." He cried out in front of her, deeply looking into her eyes. She is also crying fretfully with him. His every word is showing that how much he loves her. She is his whole world and he can't imagine his life without her.

"You'll never go leaving me alone, right?" He asked, holding her both hands. He wants assurance like a baby wants assurance from her mother that she will never leave him.

"No, never, baby. I'll stay with you till my last breath and if there is a life after this, I'll stay with you there too." She reassured him.

She sobbed. "But I want one promise from you."

"What?"

"If someday anything happens to me and I have to leave you, you won't stop living. You'll smile and live happily for me." After seeing his condition, she became scared that what if one day something happens to her in real. Therefore she wants this promise from him.

He shook his head. "That's impossible. I will never let anything happens to you." He said, engulfing her in his arms.

"I know Manik, you will always protect me but life is unexpected. Please, promise me that no matter what you will never stop living." She again asked him to promise her.

He broke the hug and shook his head, crying. "I can't even imagine my life without you, sweetheart. I don't want that life, in which you're not with me. If something happens to you, I'll also die with you. Perhaps If I stay alive, I will live like a lifeless soul."

"Can you promise me to live happily without me?" He asked after a few seconds of silence.

Now her heart almost stopped beating for a moment just only the thought of living without him. Now she understood his condition. For both of them, it's utterly impossible to imagine their life where they aren't together. But this is the hard reality of life that anything could happen to any one of them.

"I promise you, I'll always live happily. Until we're together, I'll live every moment to the fullest with you and make lots of beautiful memories with you which I'm gonna cherish till my last breath. If unfortunately, something happens to you, I'll live my life with those beautiful memories. I know it will be difficult but for you, I'll do this." She promised him after taking a deep breath.

"I wish this day never come." He uttered in a sorrowful voice, he is still shedding silent tears.

"I wish too. But now, at this time we're together, let's make new unforgettable beautiful memories of us." She said wiping his tears and suddenly came over his lap, making him a shock.

Sapna jahan dastak na de
Chaukhat thi woh aankhein meri
Baaton se thi tadaad mein
Khamoshiyan zyaada meri
Jabse pade tere kadam
Chalne lagi duniya meri

She sat, straddling him on the driver seat. She doesn't care how many people will look at them and what they will think about them, right now she only wants to change the mood of her baby with her immense love.

"My baby, I'll always live with you, in your heart. You live in my soul and I live in your heart. If you close your eyes and look deeper, you will find me within you only. No power can separate us because we're two bodies, one soul. So don't be afraid. Just be in this moment and feel me." She cupped his face and captured his lips to take away his all pain. She is kissing him softly with so much love. She is soothing his soul with this kiss and pouring her all love in this kiss. He is feeling like she giving his breath back to him through this kiss. He is feeling better and better.

Mere dil mein jagah Khuda ki khaali thi
Dekha wahan pe aaj tera chehra hai
Main bhatakta huaa sa ek baadal hoon
Jo tere aasmaan pe aake thehra hai

After breaking the kiss, he hugged her tightly, burying his face in her chest like a small baby.

Then he drove the car in this position only, she sitting in his lap but the difference is that now her face is dug in his chest and she is listening to his soothing heartbeat with a contented smile on her face.

They reached the beach. They are walking hand in hand on the sand, the waves of water are coming and touching their feet. They are lost in each other eyes, their lips are drawn up to a beatific smile now. They're talking to each other through their eyes in utter silence.

Tu rooh hai toh main kaaya banu
Taa-umr main tera saaya banu
Keh de toh ban jaaun bairaag main
Kehde toh main teri maaya banu
Tu saaz hai, main ragini
Tu raat hai, main chandni

They're standing in front of each other, holding each other hands and gazing into each other eyes intensely. Suddenly he yanked her to himself by holding her waist and placed a kiss on her forehead after murmuring, "I love you," against her forehead.

She closed her eyes in response and then he softly kissed her eyelids. She wrapped his arms around his neck and he placed his forehead over her. His presence and his touch is heaven on the earth for her.

Mere dil mein jagah Khuda ki khali thi
Dekha wahan pe aaj tera chehra hai
Main bhatakta huaa sa ek baadal hoon
Jo tere aasmaan pe aake thehra hai

They are sitting on the sand. She is sitting between his legs and he is sitting behind her, holding her stomach, while constantly kissing her neck and back. She sat on his lap and hugged him. He hugged her tighter and tighter like he wants to store her into his protective arms forever and ever.

"Baby, I want to tell you something." She uttered after breaking the hug.

"What?" He asked excitedly.

"You have to sleep without me only for one night because from tomorrow I'll stay with you at your penthouse by going on fake vacation."

"My bacha is becoming is so smart." He said, playing with her hair and she smiled broadly.

"I love you." He confessed and pecked her lips.

"I love you more." She confessed, placing her head on his chest and he kissed her hair.
