The Title: Confessed

Saketh looked at Priya who is so busy scribbling something on paper.

His arms are so itching that he wants to hug her and kiss her on her forehead.

She looks so tired as she kept working like a horse for the past three hours.

It did pinch his heart, This girl needs some rest, He talked inwardly.

She still didn't give him clarity on this relationship but she is not afraid of him anymore, Indeed he became her best friend.

He can say confidently they are at least friends now, in fact very thick friends.

They are like open books to each other.

They both know that the other person won't judge them on the past deeds, sins they have committed.

Such a great relief.

It's so evident that they both had accepted their flaws even before accepting each other's friendship.

She gave him the privilege of being her 2 am friend, his heart swells up with love, and pride whenever he imagines their journey.

From passing intimidating and hatred stares at each other, they reached a point that they can't live a day without sharing a passionate conversation about things happening in life.

They reached an extremely comfortable zone and gave each other so much freedom to share and discuss anything,

They grew as individuals and they are more mature now.

Happy that they can feel it.

It took time for them to understand the fact that they both feel that they behaved grossly with each other.

They are truly ashamed of their behavior.

Glad that they learned from their mistake.

They successfully utilized the time to improve themselves, rekindle their love.

But somewhere Saketh started feeling that their relationship is becoming very platonic day by day

Why he feels those sparks are missing.

But to his surprise, Priya proved his thoughts were mere assumption the very next day.

It really boosted his courage and filled immense hopes in his heart.

The truth was he hasn't slept that night.

She saw him talking to a sassy girl one night at a party, though he behaved like a gentleman the girl kept flirting with him openly not paying any attention to their surrounding.

She was throwing herself on him and tried to touch his rocky chest behind the white shirt with her long slender fingers.

This did hurt Priya and she started behaving so possessively.

He could feel the sudden pang of jealousy in her words and those hostile stares she was throwing at that girl.

He felt it so cute to see her possessive side.

This wasn't expected from her by him.

She was so angry with them both and stopped talking to him for a day.

She literally dragged her away from him and cursed her straight on the face trying her best to put some sense into her mind.

The whole scene was so overwhelming to him, but he never thought that she would give him a silent treatment as a punishment.

He begged her for half an hour and literally took her to an ice cream parlor amid a meeting.

He begged her and did many promises toe made her eat a simple scoop of her favorite flavor.

Why does he care too much about her opinions on him? He wondered.

Is this love? He questioned himself all that night.

What is stopping her from expressing it openly, What?! He thought for a whole night, Still, he got no answer.

Still, she didn't forgive him for ignoring her, shunning her presence at the party.

Now he has to do something to mend this wild cat he thought.

A smile crept on his lips and he chuckled to grab her attention.

She quickly turned around to see him smiling at him widely.

As usual, she ignored him and immersed herself back at work.

"Ouch..." He fell on the floor from the couch making a thud sound

"Saketh.." She quickly turned to him to see what exactly had happened.

Tears brimmed her eyes looking at Saketh lying on the floor helplessly.

He fell on the floor unconscious and not at all responding to her calls.

She called aloud and slumped on the floor, Standing on her knees.

"Saketh, Are you okay?"She screamed holding his chin and asked him patting his cheek gently.

He didn't open his mouth.

He is lying like a stone, like a frozen.

It did make her heart skip its beat.

Why the hell?!

What happened to him?!

What to do?! She is doing everything to make him awake.

She sprinkled water on his face, patted his chin gently, shook his shoulder, and Whatnot.

Tears rolling over her cheek fell on his lips, he closed his eyes are happy.,

His lips parted apart and he quickly opened his eyes.

Her eyes lit up instantly looking at his face, and a bright smile dance on her lips."

Finally, he opened his eyes.

She quickly wiped her tears and placed her hand on his cheek.

He felt sad to pull a stunt like this.

"You frightened me, idiot."She whined like a kid.

He smiled and sat catching his ears like a kid.

She took a second to understand his actions and pummeled his chest with her small fist again and again.

"I am sorry.." He mouthed looking at her apologetically.

"You don't know that I almost got a heart attack." She complained in the same childish tone.

"Sorry ...Please, What to do now, I don't know how to convince you."

"Listen, What you have seen is not the actual truth and the truth is she was the one was flirting with me."

"It's her who was throwing herself on me, Anyway what's wrong if I flirt am and  enjoy with girls."

"I didn't misbehave with you, I promise I would never?" "He asked trying to test the waters.

"No, you shouldn't flirt and hang out with any females."She said as if she is ordering him.

"Why?!"He controlled his chuckle and asked her in an eager tone.

"Why?! I am your friend Priya, Who else I can discuss all these with?"

"I am feeling very lonely, you know Sruthi got engaged and getting married soon."

"Don't you think it's time to feel in love and gets pampered, After all, I am a human and I too deserve some love."He pouted.

Her face fell soon listening to his words.

She kept gazing at him with a pale face.

"I am not that Casanova anymore."He sighed and continued.

"I want someone's shoulder to lean on and cry out my heart, tell her my pain."

"I need someone to share my love and happiness. How many days I have to stay single? Tell me?"

"Can't you see it?! I am trying my best to mingle with everyone?!"

"Who knows I can find my soulmate in here?!" He asked raising his brow.

"Soulmate?! that girl?!" She throws a disgusting look.

"Okay?! Then why can't you choose a girl for me?! Do you know what I am?!" He didn't stop his teasing session.

Priya gulped down in fear, She felt chills down her spine, Her mouth became dry.

What the hell is he speaking!?

She looked at him in sheer disbelief.

She knows he is a fool but never thought he will behave like e a certified moron.

Another girl?! Why would he think about another girl while she is alive?!

Here she is craving for him to open up and confess his love there he is thinking about choosing another girl.

Her heart just broke listening to his words.

She sat on the floor cross-legged and kept shedding tears silently.

He didn't get what she wants a first.

But in the very next second, he somehow learned what she wanted through her words.

"Saketh.." She called his name demanding his attention.

"Priya..." He lifted her head to see her properly.

She burst into tears by his mere look.

"Here I am thriving to listen to those three magical words from your mouth."

"But you are so interested in bringing another girl, Sorry a girlfriend, Soulmate in your life."

"Great, go ahead."She said sniffing.

He stopped and swallowed a chuckle.

"You look so cute when you are angry."

"I like your possessiveness angry doll" He winked at her.

She got shocked by his words.

He quickly pinched her cheek.

She blushed like a tomato.

"I would love to say those magical words if you love to give me the privilege so," He smiled dramatically.

She heard and got shocked by his words.

She processed the sentences and came back to her sense.

"Buddhu, I love you.."

"I love you so much that It's hard to breathe without you. "'He kissed her vehemently making her choke.

This time she responded back and kept moaning his name, racking his hair.

Such a magical feeling.

"I love you too Excasanova. Yes, I want to be your girlfriend, Soulmate.." Finally, she gave up and said panting.

He smiled widely.

She knows it's impossible for her to stay like rock anymore.

She gave up and made both of them win this love game.

They kissed again and laughed happily.

To be continued.
