Arjun POV

Mukta confessed the truth which was hunting me since my mother death but ironically it was too late. I lost everything and i couldn't get back the life which i wanted, which my mother wanted for her son. My innocence and peace was lost and i was a broken man... or i should say i was a dead man without feelings. Now i was a cold blooded criminal who had been drowned in the pit of never ending darkness. Now nothing could be undone... i couldn't reverse back my life . I had to live with the guilt of my unsung wrong doings... my nightmares...

I was in my thoughts when suddenly i felt a warm touch around me. Mukta hugged me from behind. I could feel her wet face in tears. I turned and lifted her chin. Her eyes were full of tears, and i hated that. Unknowingly my thumb started to wipe her wet cheek.
"My little vixen.... you should not waste your tears now... "

She looked my face in confusion,
"What..." i could hear her hiccups.

I cupped her face and replied,
"Once i will find the real culprit of our life... it will be his turn to suffer... "

She looked me for some moments and then i felt her soft lips touched mine. I was so shocked to react but before she could pull apart... i held her neck and deepened the kiss... i needed her badly to calm my beast. First time i am feeling her genuine touch. She came to me with her own will.

I pushed her on the bed carefully and lay down beside her. I couldn't go further due to her health...
"No... Please don't awake my horse, you can't control them so just don't do anything... just be in my arms... "

I had to wait for her recovery. Her soft and petite figure comfortably fitted in my arms. Soon i heard her light snoring... it might be effect of medicines. I was replaying all the things in my mind. I was searching the answers of my restless thoughts. My mind gave Mukta a clean chit but still i was confused... still there was so much to know. Why Raghubeer singh wanted to kill me through Neha... why he killed my father? How things turned so sour between them?

Now i couldn't blame Mukta for all that because she was just a little girl. I knew she had a crush on me but it seemed fade long ago. I remembered when i kidnapped her after her father murder, she didn't even recognize me. She didn't know me that time so i was confused now how could she send me all those cards and gifts.

Till now i understood one thing, if i had lost my everything... even she didn't have anything left behind. Her father got killed in that unfortunate situation when i lost my father but how her mother died was still mystery for me.

It seemed that our destiny was combined by God. We were two unfortunate people were meant to be together. When i was young around 10 years... i was her only friend... and even now i did the things with her that she only had me... it might be her fate... she disliked me... she ran away from me but she only found me... god made sure that only i became her destination.... only she became my destiny... now i couldn't let her go away from me... she had to live with me... in my life... she was my only hope and i was her every option...

Mukta POV

In the morning i opened my eyes and found him so close to me...it looked like he was sleeping peacefully after the ages of restless nights. I was feeling guilty because he suffered due to my childishness. He lost his mother and i snatched his faith. He felt betrayed all those years just because i didn't try to know what damage i had done.

I could see his glistening eyes and gloomy face. The pain of all the memories was evident on his face. I wanted to console him so that i kissed him and above all i also wanted to decrease my guilt. His heart was wounded by me... our life played a cruel game with us but it was the fault of that man...

I couldn't forget his face because i remember i used to suffer with the nightmares of him... how he killed Ashwini maa... how he tried to harm me... how he killed my mother... how he threatened me that he would kill my father... Arjun and his father... i couldn't lose them so i sealed my lips forever... but with my father's constant love and efforts i returned back to my live. My father took me to top psychiatrist of country and they treated me and helped me to overcome from my nightmares and ugly memories. I looked normal to everyone but only i knew how much i was traumatized but due to my father and my well wishers help i started to see my surroundings with different light. It wasn't easy but not impossible for doctors because i was just 10 years old that time. They became successful to make me forget about my fears... i made myself explore the different world because the bad man was no where around me anymore. My father was so protective about people around me...

I lived with only familiar faces till the time when Arjun returned suddenly with dangerous intentions. He changed my life completely... he made me a fighter who had to fight alone with all her fears. Although i got the support of Parkash papa and Sneha maa but i defeated my fears all alone.

I sometimes suffered due to nightmares but that were not frequently. I sometimes wondered why i didn't get affect by Arjun cruelty with me. He tortured me but still i didn't feel that type of fear with him. I always felt a some kind of safety with him if he would save me from everything... it was very laughable that my tormentor was my savior.... i knew i became mad to think like that... but it was true according to me....
