Chapter no 1:

Lagta hai ke aapki peeda kafi gehri hai.

Dhruv ji.

Meenakshi called out softly. Her voice filled with warmth. She walked towards him and was about to keep a hand on his shoulder but stopped herself.

Aap theek hain?

Meenakshi asked, her voice tinged with worry. Dhruv faced her and let out a small smile.

Main theek hoon.

Dhruv replied with a small smile but Meenakshi saw the hidden pain in his eyes.

Aap theek nahin hain.

Meenakshi said, her voice soft yet firm.

He looked at her. The moonlight highlighting her features. Her complexion was fair, her long black hair left open swaying at it's own accord. The beautiful set of black orbs, ever so captivating, a proof of her love for him making her look angelic to him.

Meenakshi stepped forward. Her heart beating loudly against her chest.

She locked eyes with him and said

Hum patni hain aapki? Humse aapna dard chupane ki koshish mat kijiye.

Meenakshi said, her fingers gently stroking his cheek in a tentative, affectionate touch.

Meenakshi moved closer, she stood on her toes and reached out, her fingers gently gripping his arm as she moved towards his ear.

Hum vachan dete hain Dhruv. Aapko kabhi tootne nahin denge.

She whispered, her warm breathe curling into his ear causing his breath to hitch in his throat.

Meen...akshi

Dhruv managed to chock out. His breath coming out in short gasps. His heart raced in his chest.

Meenakshi pulled back, Dhruv breathed deeply. Her fingers tentatively brushing against his beard feeling the texture of his rough beard against her fingertips.

Jitna main toot chuka hoon na Meenakshi.

Dhruv spoke locking eyes with hers. He held her hand, locking their fingers.

Usse zyada mujhe koi tod nahin sakta.

Dhruv said touching his forehead with hers. Meenakshi breathed deeply, his scent, a woody fragrance that stirred something deep within her.

She opened her eyes, her black orbs staring into his deep brown ones and she seemed to loose herself in them. His ever so expressive eyes now held a mystery which she yearned to uncover.

However his words seemed to tug at her heart. His words reflected his sufferings, a bitter truth which made her stomach churn.

Aur waise bhi maine ek cheez seekh li hai Meenakshi.

Dhruv spoke bringing her out of her thoughts.

His hands cupping her face, fingers gently stroking her cheeks. Meenakshi felt warmth spreading though her entire being. Her heart started pounding in her chest. Her breathes turned heavier. She looked down, red color straining her cheeks. A delicate shiver ran down her spine.

Dhruv smiled, a bitter smile this time as his deep brown orbs shined with a fire that threatened to destroy everything.

Dhruv uplifted her her face by placing his fingers under her chin. He cupped her face. Her face fit so perfectly in his large palms as if meant to be. His fingers gently stroking her cheeks with tenderness. His eyes softened as he gazed at her. The blush on her cheeks was making her look ethereal. He smiled at her.

Ek baat seekhi hai maine Meenakshi ji.

Dhruv said, sis voice soft but carried a touch of vulnerability.

Kya?

Meenakshi asked loosing herself in the depths of his ever so captivating deep brown orbs.

Ke jab tak hum kisi ko khud ko peeda dene ka adhikar nahin dete. Tab tak humein chot nahin pohanchegi.

Dhruv said, his voice emotionless. The words carrying the weight of his pain and a bitter realization that tugged at her heartstrings.

The weight of his words settled deep within her. Meenakshi breathed out, she cupped his face, fingers gently tracing the line of his jaw as she spoke, her voice holding a tinge of understanding.

Lagta hai ke aapki peeda kafi gehri hai.

Dhruv blinked his eyes, a painful smile tugging his lips silently telling her that she is right.

Meenakshi watched as his lips curved into a smile, a painful smile that seemed to tell that she is right. The sad smile prickled her heart like sharp darts.

The realization washed over her and a mix of pain and greif ungulfed her heart. She raised her shivering hands. gently reaching out to cup his face, she looked into his eyes.  Her hands stopped inches before his face. She looked at him for a moment. Dhruv smiled, bringing his hand to hers stopped in the middle, he gently held her hand and she shut her eyes. A blush on her cheeks deepened as she felt his lips brushing against the back of her palm in a tender kiss. Her heart fluttered in her chest.

She opened her eyes looking deep into his deep brown orbs. A flicker of vulnerability shinning in Dhruv,s eyes, a hidden pain. He let out a small smile that reached his eyes.

His eyes a mix of tenderness and hope as he asked.

Kuch maang sakte hain kya hum aapse Meenakshi ji?

Meenakshi nodded her head in positive. A mixture of love and anticipation flickering across her features as she said, her voice carrying a blend of tenderness and love.

poori duniya maang lijiye. Aapke kadmon mein rakh denge.

Dhruv,s lips curled into a small, genuine smile that reached his eyes. His eyes shining in the moonlight as his heart started pounding in his chest.

He smiled, gently cradling her face in his palms. The warmth that radiated from her seemed to seep deep into his bones sending a shiver of delight down his spine and he sighed, an audible sigh tinged with uncertainty as he spoke.

Vachan chahiye humein ek.

Konsa vachan?

She asked. Her eyes softening more.

Prem kerti hain humse?

Dhruv asked, his eyes a mix of uncertainty and anticipation.

Apne praan se adhik.

She replied, her voice a mix of love and sincerity.

Her answer warmed his heart and he smiled, his grip on her face tightened slightly as he gazed into her eyes.

Aapke jeevan mein sirf hum honge. Vachan dijiye humein. Keval hum, koi aur nahin. Kabhi nahin.

Dhruv whispered, his words carrying a blend of possessiveness and uncertainty.

Meenakshi,s heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes. She could very well see the scars and his broken self that made her heart ache.

However, she cradled his face gently in her palms, her touch hesitant but affectionate. Her eyes were a mix of sincerity and warmth

Vachan dete hain hum. Kevel aap Dhruv. Aapke siwa koi nahin. Kabhi nahin.

She said, her voice carrying a blend of sincerity and affection. The smile never leaving her lips as she locked her fingers with his.

Dhruv,s heart fluttered in his chest like a caged bird hearing her. A bright, genuine smile spread across his face as he blinked his eyes in anticipation.
