........................................................................

It's already 11.00 p.m when everyone went to their respective rooms. I was in the kitchen cleaning it after washing the dishes. I also didn't eat the food. I don't feel like to eat. I lost my appetite when I know he is still hungry and probably didn't have his lunch also.

After cleaning the kitchen I look at the clock and it's past 11 now. So I heat up the food and put it on the plate. After switching off the lights and closed the kitchen door I climbed on the stairs and walked towards his room.

I was nervous to walking towards his room. My body is little shaking due to the nervousness. My legs betray me when I was walking towards his room.

I was standing in front of gate of his room. I hope he is not sleeping yet and with a lot of courage I turn the door knob. To my surprise it was open so I push the door little and walk inside and close the door behind me.

I look at him. He was standing in the balcony, leaning to the railing while putting his both hands on it and watch the full moon, lost in his thoughts. He is not aware of my presence.

I put the food on study table and walked towards him. My bangles and anklet are making a sound of tinkling when I walked towards him.

"Why are you letting out my anger on food. You can angry on me but please eat something." I said standing few inch away from him in balcony and face to him.

He turn his head to me and looked at me.

"I'm not angry on you Preeti and I'm not hungry. " He said looking at me and then turn his head looking again at the same place.

"I'm sorry. I will resign from my job if you say so. But please don't be mad at me." I said looking at him.

My vision is blurred and tears welled up in my eyes but I don't let them fall from my eyes. His head turn to me and looked at me with guilty eyes. He took a step towards me and cupped my cheeks.

"I can't see you getting hurt and I will fuck their lives who will try to hurt you and the reason behind these tears even if it was me." He whispered while wiping tears which streamed out from my eyes looking at the care for me in his eyes.

I sniffed and first strain of tears escaped from my eyes and he wiped them again. He put his one hand on my right cheek and one hand on my waist and pull me closer to him with a jerk. I put my both hands on his shoulder to balance myself.

"I'm not angry on you. I never be. I was with myself. I was upset that I was failed to protect you. I can't digest the thought that what happened if I hadn't reached on right time she could have slap you." He whispered while looking at my teary eyes with guilt and love and cares my right cheek with his thumb lovingly.

"I never want that you will resign from your job I just want that you stand for yourself." He whispered firmly while slide down his left hand from my cheek and put his both hands on my waist. My hair is blowing in cold air.

"Forget it. It was nothing which could hurt me. I don't care what anyone says or think about me. It's only you who matters to me. I care what you think about me and I love to know that you care for me more then anything. " I whispered softly looking into his beautiful dark coffee eyes.

He leaned down and kissed me on my forehead. I closed my eyes to feel the warmth of his lips and hug him. He hugged me back and pulled me closer to him.

"How I got so lucky to have you?" He said while nuzzling his head more in the crook of my neck.

"Preeti..I don't know what's this feelings are.... ? But I always feel protected and something strong towards you. I never feel like this in my entire life I just want to hold you in my arms till eternity. I wish that time could stop when you are with me. Preeti do you feel the same for me?" He asked me while tightening his grip around my waist.

We are still hugging each other and I feel protected and like home in his arms. I want to be like that till my last breath.

I nodded my head as yes and buried my face more in the crook of his neck.

He broke the hug and I missed his body warmth. But he hold me by my waist.

"Preeti I don't know since when but I fall for you. I miss your voice, your red cheeks and your face when you were not around me. I just want to look at your beautiful face all day. I fall hard for you Preeti. I love you." He whispered.

"I love you Preeti...I love you immensely, intensely and insanely. I love you so much."

I get freeze when he confessed his feelings to me. It felt like someone snatched my voice from my throat. Cold breeze of wind touch my face which makes anyone shiver but I felt warmth, warmth of his love warmth of his body, I was beyond happy. I also wanted to confess my feelings to him. I want to let him know, how I feel for him.

"You are the first person in my life understand my emotions without me saying anything. You are the first person who gave me such respect. You trust me when my family still don't have their trust on me. They still believe that lies but you trust me. You are the first man in my life who give me a respect as a women, who fought for me, who understood my loneliness. I feel protected in your arms. I also don't know since when but I also fell for you. I love you too Siddharth. I love you." I said. He looked at me mesmerizingly, intensely and lovingly.

I blushed in his heated gaze and hugged him. He pulled me closer to him while tightening his grip around me.

After a while we broke the hug and he kissed on my forehead. I closed my eyes to feel his love.

"Come, food is waiting. Eat it before it gets cold." I said while looking at him with a smile.
