Nisha was all numb for a while when he said those words.
It's not the first time she heard someone saying this to her, many times, many random people said those words to her which had nothing but a lust in it.
His words echoed in her head and heart, for the first time she felt a different feeling listening to it but she couldn't help it anyway.
She looked at him, who was so eager to hear her response moreover he seemed quite confident too.
'What made you say so? Are you fine?' She said quite casually which boggled him.
'Can you answer me at least this time rather than asking a question?' He scoffed seriously.
'Why can't you do the same?' She mocked back.
'Huh,' He sighs 'Okay, I am fine and I really do love you....now can you answer?' He added.
'Are you serious? You had a breakup recently,' she tried to divert him.
'Nisha,I know you love me too'
'Don't imagine things,'
'I am not imagining moreover everything is crystal clear between us'
'Don't be so dumb!!'
'What made you say that?'
'I am speaking the truth or else How can you confess like this, you barely know me,'
'I need not to'
'But...'
'Do you like me or not?'
'I do like you but...'
'Then what else?'
'I don't want to tell you about it now'
' Why so?'
'Its just that I don't want to talk about it'
'Why are you being like this?'
'I am being myself'
'Why are you so mysterious?'
'I am not'
'Can you end up this one word answers for a while? I am asking you something'
'I told you that there is nothing like that between us'
'No, you are lying'
'I am not'
'I can see that'
'Can you please stop being like this, Rahul?'
'Only if you answer me'
'Its not love...you are just being infatuated'
'Do I look like an immature teenager?'
'NO, infect you know it better because this is not your first time'
'Its true that I am being attracted to you but I am damn sure it's not physical'
'Love is just nothing more that getting physical'
'Mine is not lust, I have better plans with you or should I say I wanna marry you'
His one after one confessions were making her very happy for the very first time in her life that one person was promising her not just the happiness of life but also the bliss of being together till the end.
But destiny is more cruel than anything, with all her heart even though she wanted to accept him because the feelings were mutual even from the very moment they met, she couldn't help it, she couldn't accept him and his love.
She chose to break the glass before it pierced him more deeper.
It's was finally her time to unveil the darkest secrets of hers and to end all this dreams at once.
'Are you sure about marrying a slut?'
'What?' He had no further words to speak, his voice chocked and was no more audible.
'Yes I am one' she said when her tears started running out of her eyes crying for her ill-fate. 'And I am dying soon, I have a blood cancer.'
Silence filled the gaps of secrets revealed and the questions unveiled were finally answered by precious tears.
'Say....that you..... are kidding' He begged with his chocked voice.
'Hope I was but no...it's the reality, Rahul. When I was 6 my parents died in a plane crash and after that I was bought up by my uncle, who sexually abused me, he took away all the property and abandoned me by throwing into the flesh market. I was too young to realize anything and once I understood the world I was thrown into it was too late, too late to escape and too late to fight. my life became a complete hell moreover love, marriage and family are the words that are like a bright sky for me which I can only see but can't get even if I wish it with my whole heart.'
She wasn't able to handle the silence as it was the best and worst moment for her, she too loved him.
'You may leave now' she said holding up her tears, he slowly stood up and started to move out dragging away his feet, bland and lost somewhere.
'We can.....' he turned to say something but was cut by her.
'No, I don't want you to suffer with me. I am going to die soon and I don't want you to know anything about it. Just think of this as one of your dreams and once you wake up, this shall be just a memory,' she said with no emotion in her voice.
What else can be expected from a person who is going to see her death in few days.
She saw him leaving silently with tears and he disappeared closing the door behind her face.
He was completely shattered by her words, It's true that he loved her but the realities were too strong for their love to win over the cruel fate which stood in between them parting their lives in complete different ways.
Love is sometimes too small thing to be fought for, in the presence of realities and this heart always takes pains once it gets used to them.
Love is quite complicated for people who are not destined for it.
"Sometimes love is not about holding on to each other but to let go of each other reasoning their happiness."
Thank you
