Her hands instinctively rose to cover her mouth, as if to contain the torrent of feelings threatening to spill.Tears welled up in eyes blurring her vision , streaming down her cheeks. She nodded silently, her eyes locked onto Prithvi's, searching for reassurance.Prithvi's gaze held hers, his intensity unwavering. "No, I want a reply," he urged, his voice low and husky. "Please, say something."Sanyogita's hands dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "I will always be yours." The words tumbled forth, a confession born of devotion . "I have not only given you my heart to you ," she continued, her voice strengthening with conviction, "I have given you my soul, my everything is yours now . And I'll cherish you no matter whatever be the strome I will always be with you . Through thick and thin, in every ups and down "Prithvi's eyes blazed with adoration as he slid the ring onto her finger. He rose, drawing her into a passionate embrace. Time stood still as they savored the moment.Finally, they parted, gasping for air. Prithvi's fingers intertwined with hers, leading her on a mysterious journey."Prithvi, where are you taking me?" Sanyogita asked, wondering, lacing her voice, excitement dancing in her eyes."Just a surprise, wait," he whispered, his smile hinting at secrets.As they reached the lake's edge, Prithvi released her hand. "Open your eyes, Sanyo."Sanyogita's gaze drifted upward, drawn by the distant hum of a helicopter. The aircraft soared through the vast azure sky, leaving a trail of white smoke in its wake.As she watched, her feets stood rooted to the ground , with open mouth the smoke began to take shape, forming letters that seemed to hover in mid-air:"I LOVE YOU SANYOGITA"Her heart skipped a beat. The words hung suspended, a declaration of devotion visible from afar.But the pilot wasn't finished. With a precision that bordered on artistry, the helicopter emitted a fresh burst of smoke, crafting a delicate heart around the words.The symbolism was breathtaking. Sanyogita's eyes welled up, tears streaming down her face. She had never imagined  he would gave her such a grand, sky-scribed confession.The helicopter banked and turned, flying away, but the words and heart remained, etched in the sky like a promise.Sanyogita turned to Prithvi, her eyes locking onto him. "There was something about you that pulled me towards you from the very first day," Prithvi began, his voice low and husky. "You shared your world with me – your family, feelings, sorrows, and pain.""When you cried out your grief to me, I felt an unbreakable bond between us," Prithvi confessed, his eyes burning with emotion. "Sanyo, I love you."Sanyogita's breath caught in her throat . She stood frozen,  didn't knowing what to do.  Then, with a surge of emotion, she flung her arms around Prithvi, embracing him with every fiber of her being. The hug was a promise – a vow to cherish and hold onto this love forever.Prithvi wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Their  hearts were beating in perfect sync. Sanyogita's lips traced a path of his face as she began to shower tender kisses – forehead, nose, cheeks, jawlines and finally, his lips."I love you, Prithvi," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I love you more than anything."Prithvi's thumbs gently swept away Sanyogita's tears, his fingers cradling her face. His eyes burned with adoration as he leaned in, their lips meeting in a passionate, soul-stirring kiss.His hands slid around her slim waist,pulling her close as he deepened the kiss. Sanyogita's arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. Their lips moved in perfect harmony, the world around them seemed to melt away. Prithvi's chest pressed against hers, his heartbeat synchronizing with hers.They broke apart only to gasp for air, their lips to crash back over and over again . The kiss was a promise, a seal on their love.*********It was 12 “O'clock midnight they were again discussing many things,sanyogita told her about her childhood memories.Prithvi also told her about him,how he was repeatedly scolded by his teachers at his schools and at home to his father.She asked him “why are you not like your father,Prithvi?’’Prithvi answered that his Dad always wanted rules and discipline. After the death of his mother he was only busy at his work,he did not have time for his son.“I don’t know,whatever it may be but he is your Dad and I’m sure he loves you so much”she whispered Prithvi listented her without any response,she did not stop,continue”Never judge someone without knowing the reason behind their behaviour.After your Maa passed away,your dad must have felt lonely as well,you remember you had told me this that you dad and mom deeply in love of each other.That’s why may be he tried to make himself busy in his work.Did you ever try consoling him,telling him that you were going to be his strength?’’you could have shared whatever he felt.You could have tried being a friend rather than a son. Did you ever try this with him?’’Prithvi did reply ,he sat up ,Did not make eye contact with her ,Sanyogita moved closed to him and encircled her arms around him “I know you are feeling bad,but Prithvi try to understand ,you had always busy with your friends in parties,hangout but other side your dad was also need attention ,family support especially from his son.Didn't you think that ?’’Prithvi now looked up at her and with a halved smile he pulled her closer to him”Hm, You are right,Sanyo,I should have to think this before” he kissed on her forehead.“Raat bhi chuke hai,ab mujhe chalna chaiye''he was going to leave,Sanyogita caught his hand and she did not want to sleep tonight,she wanted to talk more.Prithvi smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, as Sanyogita whispered, "Can I call you Raj?" Her gaze was upturned, searching for his response, her voice barely audible.He opened his eyes, surprised, and met her gaze, his mind racing with wonder. Where did she know his nickname from? "What did you say?" he asked, his voice trailed down slowly while his eyes narrowing slightly as he studied her clueless expression.Sanyogita's head still rested on his broad shoulder, her fingers idly playing with the buttons of his shirt. "You addressed yourself as Raj when we talked for the very first time in Goa," she whispered, her voice filled with a soft intimacy.Prithvi's eyes widened in surprise , memories flooding back, and a slow smile spread across his face. He remembered the moment, the connection they shared, and the nickname he'd revealed to her in a moment of vulnerability." You didn't remember? "" She asked, confused" Ohh! Alas ! I forgot." He bites his tongueShe chuckled " " You wrote the diary and …look at.. " she wondered in disbelief " I remembered everything and everything related to you . But how do I forget about this?”She grinned" It's not about me , it's about you Mr."Seeing her laughing he chuckled " Perhaps I forgot because this name is only used by my Mom. She only called me Raj. After she had gone I never let anyone address me with this name" His voice slowed down, A sudden surge of emotions, proudness of love for his mother aroused in his heart. Sanyogita's smiley face fades away and is replaced with a tightened jaw. She felt a knot in her chest. "Why did you choose this name for me in our first conversation then ?" She asked him straight, without breaking the gazePrithvi stared at her and noticed her rigid vision " I don't know. Why I told you my nickname, it came randomly and I didn't stop myself then. As if I didn't want to. ""Why?" Sanyogita asked, her voice laced with curiosity and innocence, her eyes sparkling with questioning.Prithvi's gaze met her, his eyes studying the depths of her expression, as he cradled her in his arms. His hand gently enveloped her right hand, which was still resting on his shirt button, his fingers intertwining with her left hand .His eyes dropped to the ring on her finger, the one he had placed there earlier that night. "My heart might have found the shadow of my mom's, that's why ," he whispered, his voice low and husky, his hazel brown eyes oscillating against hers.Sanyogita's skin prickled with goosebumps as she met his gaze, her heart swelling with emotion. Her eyes remained fixed on his, as if magnetized by the depth of feeling within them. Her heart grew heavier, her breath catching in her throat, as she felt the weight of his words settle deep within her.Ghosebums erupted over her skin . Her heart is becoming heavier. Her arrows glued against his charming hazel brown orbs.Prithvi saw her take his hand closer to her face and she started to kiss his hand tenderly. Her lips brushed against his skin in tender, whispery kisses. "Itna pyaar karte they..." (You loved me that much...), she whispered, her voice trembling.His eyes never left hers, his expression remained unyielding. "Wrong," he whispered back, his voice low and husky. "I didn't love you... I'm loving you every moment."Sanyogita's eyes grew wide with surprise, her eyes flashing with delight and wonder. She could feel the weight of his words settle deep within her, like a key that slipped smoothly into a lock.When Prithvi's eyes locked with Sanyogita, he was lost in the depth of her large, lovely black eyes, his eyes drawn to the tempting curve of her lips. He moved slowly closer, bending his neck tilted to find her mouth. Their lips touched, causing shivers to run down their spines.His fingers carefully pushed Sanyogita back, lowering her onto the bed. His hands slip behind her head and back , setting it down softly on the pillow. The soft light creates a warm glow around them, their faces inches from each other, their breathing in sync.Sanyogita's body lay on Prithvi's arm, her eyes fixed on his as he looked down at her. The atmosphere was filled with tension, their hearts beating as one. A flash of fear appeared in Sanyogita's chest, her anxiety obvious as she felt the growing vibration of Prithvi's chest flattening against her curves. "Raj." she muttered, her voice so soft she barely heard herself, her eyes scanning for reassurance.A comforting smile crept over Prithvi's lips as he listened to Sanyogita whisper "Raj," her voice a mere whisper. "I know, Jaan. I know my limits. Don't worry, we'll have our moment, but only when you're ready, never against your will." His words were infused with soothing reassurance.He leaned forward and brushed a gentle kiss against her forehead. Sanyogita's heart skipped a beat as he touched her soul,  and he felt a thrill run through her, sending shivers down her body. The touch was real, pure, and electrifying, causing her to wonder if she was having a dream or living the most magical moment of her life.Time seemed to freeze as Prithvi's eyes fixed on hers, his face brimming with adoration and comprehension. "It's too late to sleep," he said softly, his tone sincere and raspy, causing a flutter in her chest." But I wanted to hear more about your family. Pls " Although it was a request but more sounded like demand . In front of her stubbornness he gave upRest of the night either of them spent together talking about their family, childhood memories, happy, bad days and many more. He had no option but to sleep next to her.While she was sleeping,Prithvi lay next to her and looked at her innocent face with love in his eyes. After that he also went to sleep.The business trip is over Now they moved forward for India As they flew across the skies on their private jet, the air hostesses went down the aisle, one of them paused by Prithvi and Sanyogita. "Sir, would you like something for lunch?" she inquired, flashing a warm and inviting smile.But Prithvi didn't respond. He was still lost in Sanyogita's gorgeous eyes, his gaze entranced by the sparkle within them. Sanyogita, noticing his distraction, intervened, her voice soft and gentle. "We've already ordered veg meals, thank you."The attendant nodded and handed them their meals before moving on to the next row. Sanyogita nudged Prithvi, her eyes encouraging him to start eating. "Don't you want to have lunch?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Sanyogita's cheeks reddened,  as Prithvi leaned in closer, his hand stroking the back of her chair before wrapping around her waist. "I think I'm craving something sweeter than food," he whispered, his breath tickling her ear. "Something like... " his right thumb reached to rub her plump lips. And with that, their  lips moved in perfect harmony .
