Sukriti can't stop thinking about things that happened today, She kept thinking about Kunal all the time.

Such a gentleman he is? Unlike Rajeev, he respects a woman.

A small smile crept up on her lips thinking about Kunal.

Her eyes landed on her reflection in the mirror for a second.

She wondered how much did she change in few days! Her face looks miserably pale and lost all the charm.

A sad chuckle escaped from her mouth and tears rolled over her cheek.

She is happy that she met Kunal, some one who is so gentle and interested in her.

At the same time, fear of Rajeev is killing her inside.

She felt a need to sleep for a few hours keeping everything aside, she felt it is the only way to escape the cruel reality.

She laid on bed restlessly, staring at the roof.

She still can't believe that she told that the bitter truth of her life to a stranger.

Somehow she trusted Kunal in no time and strongly believes he will take care of Rajeev.

It took a lot of courage to tell Kunal that she is engaged to Rajeev by her parent's force and without her consent.

Kunal was so shocked to learn the truth.

He took two minutes to process the fact she revealed.

They didn't talk much later, the ride to her house was so calm.

None of them is ready to speak, still, they could feel the love for each other through their actions.

She came back to the house and locked herself in her room.

She is least bothered, to tell the truth to her brother and her father as she is well aware of the consequences of revealing the truth.

Anyway, Rajeev is not going to hide the thing from her dad, he will spill the beans soon he comes out on bail.

Her phone vibrated suddenly breaking the chain of her thoughts.

"Are you okay?"

"Don't think much, Sleep tight."She opened the message and read them with a faint smile.

"Think of the devil..." She laughed a second gazing at the phone, thinking about the sender.

"Hey, respond" another message popped up in the next second.

She tried to type an answer and a series of messages appeared on the screen giving her no time to respond.

"Is everything okay?"

"Come out I am waiting for you at the entrance of the road, Please"She read them gulping down audibly.

Sweat beads are formed on her forehead and her heart missed its beat.

She sprung up from bed and rushed outside hiding from others.

She took few long strides to reach the place Kunal mentioned in the message.

Finally, She found him, There he is sitting on his bike, waiting for her restlessly.

He ran to her soon he found her standing in front of him in sheer surprise.

Her eyes are praising him and he liked it.

Her eyes are speaking volumes, they are two beautiful pools of emotions, they are shedding tears unknowingly and it touched Kunal" a heart.

He didn't hesitate a second to hug her.

She hugged him back with the same passion.

They stayed in each other arms for a while.

They found long searched solace in each other's arms.

Kunal gently made patterns on her back asking her to relax.

She placed her hand on his chest and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

Life seems to be pure bliss for Kunal, He kissed her forehead and cheek gently nuzzling her nose.

"It doesn't matter to me"

"You are engaged to Rajeev without your consent"

"You accepted this toxic relationship to protect your mother."

"I like you I fell for you at the very first sight"

"Nothing is important for me more than your happiness......"

"I will do anything for you...."Kunal finished an emotional monologue.

Sukriti got surprised by his words.

She shed another round of tears, hugging him more.

Her answer is conveyed to him by her reactions.

A smile danced on his lips.

"I too like you and got attracted to you at the very first second"

"But I wasn't courageous enough to confess my feeling "

"I am a fool, I am timid....." She lifted her head and looked into his eyes.

He is angry with her for calling herself timid.

"Don't say that, please,"

"You are the bravest girl I met so far," He said pinching his cheek.

She felt happy to receive such a compliment from a man who is her crush.

Her cheeks became red and she stood struggling in his arms to get rid of his grip.

He chuckled teasingly and tightened her grip over her waist.

His touch sent jolts in her spine and she started feeling a kind of ecstasy.

She completely lost in his touch.

"No one told me these words"

"I wonder do I deserve such words"

She asked him cupping his face.

He nodded with tears brimming in his eyes.

She leaned forward to kiss his cheek, while he took the opportunity to capture his lips.

Their kiss was a brief yet beautiful one.

"It's too late, go and have some sleep" Kunal insisted and Sukriti nodded in response.

He left her and she took few steps back.

They stood looking at each other for a while.

They don't know a pair of eyes are observing their every deed like a hawk eye.

Sukriti walked to her house smiling like an idiot.

And Kunal felt like his other half leaving him.
