Andrew

"No....as in you won't marry me or you don't love me anymore?" Divya asked me with tears pooling her eyes making me feel like a jerk.

"You broke my heart Divya, and I am not sure I can relive that pain again. I love you so much that it hurts me. You leaving felt like the end of the world to me." I told looking at her while my heart clenched in pain looking at her face.

She opened her mouth to say something and closed it again not being able find any words to say.

"Even now, I still can't believe that this is happening, I am scared that if I move you will disappear again, I am scared to touch you and realize that it's not true, I am scared of losing you again." I said rubbing my neck feeling hot with all the emotions my body is going through.

"I am sorry Andrew.. I am here for real and I will never ever leave you." she came forward and pulled my hand and placed it in hers assuring me that it's real.

But my broken heart is still scared, Those 10 days without her were really hard for me. I was about break my 10 years of sobriety to divert myself from the pain, but Jameson came to me before I did. He called my sponsor and made someone stay with me every single second.

Amaya cleared out all the alcohol in the house and she cried with me when I was broken before Divya's house. I hurt all the people who stood by me when I was at my worst just because Divya left me.

"I never thought that the worst thing you would do is leave me, after all the time we spent together. I couldn't believe what what was happening at that moment. I couldn't breathe, I lost my will to live without you Divya.

I waited outside your house hoping that you would come back, to explain why you took such a big decision about me. But you never came back Divya, And the worst thing is you took Amar away and I had to convince him to go with you. Do you know how much that hurt? " I questioned her again while she stood still not able to answer anything, shocked at my outburst at her.

"I put Amar and you above everything else in my life and you said Amar was your son, you ripped my heart out and stepped on it with those words. I begged you to give me a reason to why you are leaving, I assured you to find a solution for your problem Divya..but looks like my love was never enough for you to stay back and give me an answer." I said to her.

She is here but I am scared to say yes. What if she decides to leave me again? I can't go through that, I am not ready to get my heart broke twice. She can't take my love for granted and walk away from whenever she pleases.

After what felt like an eternity she spoke up.

"I know, me giving the reason now won't make you feel any better." She whispered holding my hand tighter.

"No, it won't." I said back to her curtly and felt a lump in my throat, looking at her painful face.

" I know, I hurt you and I am really sorry about that....It was not your mistake Andrew, it was all me. I don't..I don't know why but I always feel like a the same old little girl trying to impress her father, when he came in and told me that he would get my little cousin married to Jay, and all I could ever think about was her going through the same pain as me, and I didn't want her to. So I left you and my family here because I hate that part of myself which is weak and succumbs to others. I didn't want you to see that part in me.

When I went back there, I realized that it was all a lie and he fooled me again, he put in confinement without any electronics to contact you or anyone here.

That's when I made a decision to fight for myself without any help because you made me stronger Andrew, you gave me the strength and confidence that I could do it and nothing is impossible for me. And I succeeded Andrew, I got a divorce from Jay and he gave up his paternal rights too. I did it Andrew, and it's all because of you. The old me would've never done it, and this is the new me the one who loves you so much." She said to me with happiness beaming through her eyes taking.

I stood their looking at her happy face as she took a few steps forward leaving a just a few inches between us.

I don't know what to do know, looking at her happy made all the pain go away and all I could feel is euphoric at her achievements. All the pain, scared and lost feelings I had just flew by and my chest swell in pride of the person she became.

"Please give me a chance, us a chance. I can handle anything if you are by my side. So please Andrew, don't push me away, I can't live without you."She said to me and I couldn't put her in the same pain I went through.

"You can't make me feel guilty about being mad at you by saying all this. I deserve to be mad at you." I said to her sniffling my pain away.

"Yes, you do deserve to be mad at me." She said agreeing with me and closed the few inches between us.

There is literally no gap between us, she is completely on me making it hard for me to say no to her or push her away.

She looks so beautiful, the heat in India gave her a beautiful tan and she smells like Jasmine and peaches. Her smell is more intoxicating than the roses surrounding us.

"I hate you." I whispered as she held me tight throwing her arms around me.

"I love you too.." She said and I gave in and melted away in her touch and words.

We stayed like that for a few more minutes enjoying the warmth and comfort I missed.

"What if your father comes back again and wants you to come home? Will you leave me again?" I asked her as soon as the thought popped up in my mind.

"I won't leave you and I already told him that no matter what happens, Andrew is going to be your son-in-law and he is going to live with that." She said looking at me from and I felt butterflies at her words.

She got up to her toes and pecked me on my lips and I felt a jolt of electricity pass through my body as soon as she touched me.

I missed this feeling, she is mine and she came back here for me. Her courage and boldness amazed me and I couldn't resist anymore. I held her waist by my hand and smashed her on to me as she moved back. I bent my head down and placed my lips on hers giving her myself completely.

I could feel her soft lips against me, invading all my senses wanting more of her. My heart started pounding and the flutter in my stomach intensified. Her hands came around my neck pulling me on to her, giving me more access by parting her lips.

As I tasted her, all my thoughts silenced and I surrendered to the force allowing the giddiness to take over me. Her fingers knotted my hair clutching on to me.

Our kisses became mellow and as we were breathless and dazed, but my body ached for more of her and I knew she did too.

With her in my arms, I always get lost as my whole body dissolves into hers. I brushed her lower lip with my thumb and kissed on her forehead.

"I missed you Andrew!" She whispered snuggling into my body.

"I missed you more than you can imagine." I said to her and kissed her head again.

This is my home, she is my home. Her smile, her face, her happiness and everything is what I long for. She is the purpose of my life.

"So, What do we do now?" She said breaking out hug.

"Don't take my actions as forgiveness, I am still angry with you." I said to her and she smiled at me.

"I know, what should we do to make that go away?" She said smiling at my childishness.

She is going to pay for leaving me and I have all kinds of wicked thoughts coming to my mind on how to do that.

I walked to the stairs and dragged her along with me. When she was about to sit beside me, I pulled her into my lap not wanting miss the feel of her skin on me. If I had a chance I would stitch her to me, so she won't have the chance to escape.

She shrieked at my actions and after a few seconds she settled her self in my lap with her arms around me.

"Not we, You. I want you to prove to me that you will not repeat what you did. It's not going to be easy, in fact I am going to make it real hard for you. You are going to work on our relationship every day and because I want you to show me that I matter to you as much as you do to me." I said to her seriously and she just laughed at me.

"I am not kidding."

Her laughter is so soothing to my heart and ears.

"I know, it's just that you look so cute and child like, I just wanna kiss the life out of you." She said kissing me on the cheek.

Unbelievable! She thinks I am child.

"That's it, I am not talking to you anymore." I whined at her.

She controlled her laughter and said.

"I am sorry, I promise to prove you that I am not leaving you anymore. Just so you know you already accepted to be Amar's father, which technically makes you my husband." She said and I gasped in shock.

Did she just that I am her husband? Am I her husband now? It feels good to hear that I am her husband.

"You are doing it again, and as a punishment kissing is off the table now." I said to her hiding all my happy thoughts.

"You mean kissing like this?" She said placing kisses all over my face.

When did she turn into this person? Why is she ignoring all my words and not taking me seriously.

"I am leaving." I announced trying to get up but she held me down by putting more weight on me.

"Fine, I won't kiss you anymore. Continue." She said clutching me and laid her head on my shoulders.

She changed a lot, this trip to India changed her. She is more care free and open. And I am loving this new Divya.

"You have to love me so much that I will forget all the pain you put me through. And kissing me is on the table, because I know you can't keep your hands and lips off me." I said to her and she kissed me on the neck making my whole body feel like a bowl of jello.

Boy! I have to get a grip of myself around her. All my bones feel like they are made of jello when she touches me.

"I will sweep off your feet and show you that I am the only person in the world for you . I don't care if I am too late in expressing my feelings to you, but I love you, I love you so much. Just bear with me because me trying to make someone like me, is complete new. I can take anything in this world but not your rejection, so please don't ever give up on me. " She said to me and placed a kiss on my cheek.

Words can break your heart and at the same time the same words have the power to glue your broken heart back.

After what she said to me right now, I can never be mad at her. She is my life, my drug and my everything.

I did all these to show her that it's not okay to leave me and just because I love her and it doesn't give her the lenience to break my heart. She can't take my love for her granted.

"I can't and will never give up on you Divya." I replied and held her close to me.

I am the luckiest man in the world, I got my girl and my son back today and they both love me as much as I love them.

"Did I tell you that you look really beautiful today?" I said kissed her on the head and she shook her head.

"I love you Divya!" I said holding her tight and she mumbled me too.

We stayed in the same spot, with out any words. I sat there enjoying the feeling of her in my arms.
