*****************

" I LOVE YOU, CHERIE." Ansh tells Advaita who is standing in front of him where he is sitting on his knees in front of her holding her right hand in his hand.

Right now, it is exactly 12 in the night...They reached Goa at 09.30 after their almost 12 hours long road journey.

After that they check-in at the hotel, Where while booking a room, Aarav deliberately speaks loudly and suggests Ansh and Advaita to share a room because obviously there are only a few days left for their wedding, so there will be nothing big deal in this.

And as soon as he gets the chance, Ansh doesn't deny this suggestion and agrees to this because obviously he has to give time to Advaita on her special day and he knows that him being with her makes her happy.

But yes, Ansh accepts this suggestion pretending that he is doing this only on everyone's suggestion otherwise there was no such thing.

And then it was decided that as Ansh and Advaita were sharing a room, one room was being shared by Aaira and Aadhriti and one room was being shared by the three boys.

And it was not that everyone could not stay alone in their respective rooms, but what would have been the use of coming together if everyone stayed alone in one room? That's why they shared the room with each other.

And then before going to the room, they also decide to have dinner so that after going to the room, they can directly take rest and get rid of the tiredness of the day.

It is 10:45 pm when Ansh and Advaita enter the room but after coming to the room, instead of resting, Ansh tells Advaita to get ready as they are going somewhere.

Well if Ansh wanted, he could have told her his feelings tomorrow, anytime from morning till night, but he decided to tell her all this at exactly 12 o'clock, Right at the time her birthday starts so that he can see happiness on her face the whole day.

Well, he wasn't sure he would be able to do it because it's really hard for him to express his feelings but today he finally mustered up the courage to tell her how much he loved her.

Yes he loves her, even though he didn't want to, he couldn't stop this feeling that arose in his heart for her.

And that's why to express that feeling to her, he takes her to a beach a short distance away from the hotel, where there is a beautiful setup which he had got done before coming here.

A few minutes before reaching here, Ansh had blindfolded Advaita and this made Advaita think that maybe Ansh brought her here to celebrate her birthday because it is about to be 12 o'clock.

But after reaching here, when Ansh removes the blindfold from her eyes and asks her to turn towards him, so when she truns towards him she is surprised to see him sitting on his knees as she did not expect this.

And before wishing her a happy birthday, Ansh tells her what's in his heart, He holds her hand and tells her the three magical words of love which she has told him many times but she has been longing to hear from him for a long time.

" I know I may have taken a little too long to say this, but I really love you so much, I love the way you love me.

And today, I admit that you set my heart on fire, you have ignited a spark in me.

And now my only dream is to spend my whole life with you." Advaita's eyes well up with tears hearing his words and she can't really believe that finally, the person she loves, loves her too now.

" And I know we are going to get married but still I want to ask you, will you marry me ? Will you give me the honour of being called your husband, Miss Advaita Maheshwari...?" Ansh asks her upon which the happiness on Advaita's face increases.

" Yes." With her heart fluttering with joy she says just this much, bringing a smile on Ansh's face.

And nothing further but Ansh takes out a ring from his pant pocket and he puts the ring on her right hand's ring finger and she watches him do so with a smile

" Happiest birthday, cherie." After putting the ring on her finger, Ansh kisses her knuckles and says this to Advaita, her heart is still beating fast with immense happiness.

And then Ansh stands in front of her and his happy eyes meet her happily moist eyes.

" Do you really love me? Is this not a dream?" She asks him in some doubt to which he smiles and cups her face.

" Can I tell you in my own way how much I really love you?" he says and then without wasting any time he pulls her into a passionate kiss to which her eyes close as she reciprocates his kiss, feeling his immense love.

" Why have you called me here?" these words are Reyansh's to Aaira.

At this time, Aaira is sitting on the sand on a beach near the hotel and here she has also called Reyansh by sending a message.

Both of them sit together here but Aaira does not speak anything to him for a few minutes even while sitting with him which confused him, so Reyansh breaks the silence between them by asking her why she has called him here.

" Will you always question me like this whenever I call you to come to me...?" Aaira asks him, keeping her eyes on the waves of the sea but his eyes are only on her face which she feels.

" No, it's not like that, I was just...

" I just, what? Can't you just sit quietly with me? It is important to know the reason why I have called you and all.." she questions him still not looking at him to which he smiles.

" I want to sit with you like this for the rest of my life, But yes, I am asking you this question because what happened to you? Why did you call me here so late at night?" He asks again

" You will keep asking until I tell you why, right ? She says

"Yes."

" hmm, so reason is, I was not able to sleep." She says

" Why? What happened? Are you having trouble sleeping in the new place?" he asks

"No, but I was missing someone..." she says

" Are you missing Uncle and Aunty?" she shakes her head in denial.

" I was missing you, that's why I called you because I want to talk to you." she says still not looking at him

But her words were no less than a shock for him...Wait, She is missing him ?

Is he sleeping? Is he dreaming?

Before giving her any answer, Reyansh pinches himself on which he realizes that no, he is awake, so he is dreaming this with open eyes.

He immediately turns her face towards him so that their eyes meet.

" Tum theek ho ?" He checks by placing his hand on her forehead to which she sees him making a baby face.

" Yes, I am fine." she replies

" If you are fine then why are you talking like this ?

Look, don't joke with me like this, I don't like it at all."

" You don't like my jokes, but you like me, right?" she asks him to which he looks at her

" Tell me? Do you like me na ?" she asks again, to which a light smile appears on his face.

" I don't just like you, I love you very much." He says looking into her eyes which brings a light smile on her face.

" So do I." She says, to which his eyes widen.

And then, before he opens his mouth to say something, she silences him.

" No, let me speak..." she says and continues

" You know, I can't take this anymore because I really want to be with you and I don't know why. Why am I not able to move on from you even though I want to." she says to which he looks at her.

" Every day I tell you to move on, but I myself am not able to move on. The more I think about not remembering you, the more I miss you.

I don't know what you are to me and what you are not, but you are someone for me whom I probably never want to lose. Although I tell you to stay away from me, but being away from you also causes pain in my heart." She says to which he sees her silently

" And now I am getting tired of all these things. My heart is becoming heavy because I am not able to do the things that I want to do, I want to talk to you all the time, I want to laugh with you, I want to be happy with you but I am not able to do all this due to which the pain is increasing." While saying all this, her throat starts to choke, her heart starts to become heavy and her eyes become moist.

" It would be selfish of me to ignore the way you selflessly do things for me, No, I don't want to ignore you anymore, I'm tired of suppressing my feelings for you..." she says

And after hearing all this, his condition is no less than her, his heart beat has almost stopped after hearing her words, He is in no condition to say anything, he never thought she would ever say all this to him and that is why he cannot believe that she is really saying all this.

" Tumhe fir se mood swings ho rahe hai na ?" he asks her suddenly as he knows that at this times she's saying all this and then pushes him away the very next moment.

Even on the day of Karva Chauth, both of them were getting closer but again, the next day in college, she pushed him away saying that nothing could happen between them.

And there on hearing this question that she's having mood swings again? she looks at him making her baby face.

" If I have mood swings, won't you bear my mood swings?" she asks him, to which he looks at her

Yes, he will bear it, why won't he bear it, he will do everything for her but she must first make sure that she will stay with him.

" I know, right now you might be thinking that I might go back on my word again and push you away from myself again." She says to which he gets shocked, how did she read his mind ?

But then he nods his head in affirmative that yes, that is what he is thinking, to which she smiles slightly.

" You know, mom said that she won't have any problem with us being together, but I don't know how dad will react..." she says to which he looks at her

" And that day, just thinking about Papa, I thought of taking my steps back again,

But then I thought, thought a lot and came to the conclusion that Papa also wants to see me happy and you are my happiness so how can he refuse you for me." She says this to which he is still looking at her thinking that all this is not true.

And after saying all this, she looks at him who is silently watching her

" Say something..." she says to which he looks at her

" I don't know why but I still can't believe that all this is true, are you really saying all this? Look if you are joking then please stop this, my heart is very weak and it cannot bear all this." His words bring a smile to her face

And then there she takes his left hand in hers and he looks at her but gets shocked when she starts to open his watch, no she can't open it, No, he does not want to show off.

But before he can release his hand from her grip, she grabs his wrist tightly, to which he sees her and Aaira removed his watch which reveals tattoo mark on his wrist hidden behind the watch which she sees and he looks at her.

" To make you believe that whatever I am saying is true, should I give you one more such mark ?" She says this while looking at him with a mischievous smile, which shocks him.

" How did you know?" He asks in surprise how did she know what was behind the watch on his wrist, because he is sure that he tried his best to hide this tattoo from her and everyone else, then how did she see it

" Well, I'm pretty sure these are my teeth marks." she says proudly because she knows it can't be anyone else's and she remembers the day when she bit him hard here and only after that this tattoo came here on his wrist.

" And yes, tumhare kaan kabhi kabhi kharab ho jaate hai isiliye tumhe meri baate sunaai nahi deti.

But you know my eyes are absolutely fine, nothing can be hidden from my eyes." She says

" So, does that mean you were keeping an eye on me?" he asks

" I never kept an eye on anyone except you..." she answers.

And Nothing further but after hearing all this from him, her heart fills with happiness and joy, finally everything becomes fine between them.

And now he can't stop himself from telling her the words he wants to hear from her too.

" I LOVE YOU, You are the only one in my life whom I desire to have." He says this while looking into her eyes with utmost love.

" I LOVE YOU TOO, You are the best thing that has happened to my life." She says this while looking into his eyes with all the love she has for him.

But before both of them could say or do anything, Reyansh thinks of apologizing to her one last time for the past, for that bitter day when a misunderstanding occurred between them.

He thinks that she once cleared things up between them and what he saw that day was nothing like that.

" I'm sor..... He doesn't say anything when Aaira signals him to be quiet by placing her finger on her mouth.

" You don't need to say sorry anymore and neither will I.

Whatever happened has happened. Now I neither want any explanation from you nor do I want to ask any questions." She says and continues after a pause

" I already have wasted a lot of our time in the past because of my useless stubbornness and anger, let's not talk about the past anymore." She says on which he slightly nods

" Right, and yes the time that has gone is gone, now whatever time we have, we will live it well." He says and after saying this he is about to hug her but she stops him by placing her hand on his chest, confusing him.

" Ab kyon rok rahi ho ?" he asks to which she looks at him

" hmm...Well there are still a few things to clear up before we start anything." She says to which he looks at her confused.

" Now it is not hidden from anyone how I am." She continues to speak on which he looks at her

" You still have one more chance, you can think about us one more time, what do you want to do because I have some bad habits that you may not be able to bear in the future." She says on which he can see her

" What are you saying, I like you the way you are, and you are very nice, there is nothing wrong with you..." he says

" No, the first bad thing: I'm still a little immature, I understand things only after I've messed them up." she says to which he looks at her.

" It's alright. Maybe I'm a mature person so I can take care of you." He says which makes her heart flutter

" I talk too much, you will get bored and irritated." She says

"I will listen to you all the time without getting bored or irritated." He says

" I am stubborn."

"I will fulfill all your demands, but yes, the good ones." He warns her, to which she pouts.

" I have a lot of mood swings." She says

" well I know that, but don't worry, I will bear it all with a smile." He says

" hmm, And not every day, but sometimes I get very angry." she says

" It's ok, This is one of the emotions of a human being but I will calm you down with my love." she feels a tickling sensation from her heart to her stomach due to his this answer and her face turns all red with extreme happiness.

" I think too much, and in the process I end up hurting my people, so if in the future..." she is unable to speak further as he cuts her off.

" Whatever you think, share it with me, I will explain it to you and put an end to your thoughts.

And maybe in future you won't even get a chance to think of anything else, I will love you so much that no other thought will come to your mind except me." He says with slight mischief to which she looks at him

" Well that's all fine. But there's one thing I think you might not be able to handle." She says to which he looks at her confused.

" I am very possessive, what is mine is only mine, I don't like to share my loved ones.

you are mine so you will remain mine only." She says to which he smiles.

" And I love my possessive Aaira very much. I only wanted to get back my Aaira who was possessive for me since childhood, today I got it." He says.

And before she tells him any more of her bad things, He pulls her into a hug to which she smiles, resting her face on his shoulder.

" I love you baby, No one is perfect but you are perfect for me the way you are and now I will not leave you for any reason nor will I let you go away." He says this to which Aaira smiles and moves her hand to his back and hugs him tightly.
