I love watching rain while listening songs. Life would not always same, currently I am sitting in my balcony watching rain. I hear my phone ring it was my mom.

"Hello pooja" she said when I lift the call "ha mom" I said "when are you coming" she asked me "mom I will coming in next few days" I said as I looked at my bruises arm.

"How many days you are staying there we are missing you" she said through I can sense worry in her voice.

"If you planning to not coming because of marriage then don't worry we won't force" she said I stayed quiet "it's not like that mom" I said and sighed.

After rishi confess his feelings I don't know it was true or the situations made him talk like that!!!

"Mom I don't like to marry Vivek" I said but didn't hear anything from her side for sometime "okay we will tell him" she said I frowned "but tell me one good reason why you don't want" she asked me.

I know she will ask me a question like this!!

"Mom you are thinking we are perfect but we are not I don't want to get married especially not with Vivek" I said "still you didn't answer my question" she said I can sense stern voice.

"How can we! I mean I can't even imagine him as my husband a second" I said "pooja he is good" she said I rolled my eyes. "One second you saying you won't force me and next second you are saying to accept this proposal" I said irritatedly.

Seriously why can't they understand me!!!

"Okay okay cool!!! First come home we will talk later" she said I agreed and disconnected the call.

In morning rishi confession was leave me in pool of thoughts. Through I want to be happy about this but I can't. I was thinking that this is not real.

I hear knock on my door saw rishi was coming inside with a plate full of food. "You didn't eat your food" he said and sat beside me. "I don't feel hungry" I said he didn't listen to me and feed me.

After he feed me he give me my medicines. He didn't bring up that topic since morning. I didn't give him a proper answer. After he confess I left to car without saying anything and just sat in car.

"Sleep" he said and about to got up I held his wrist he looked at me without any emotion in his eyes. "We need to talk" I said taking all courage. "What" he asked me.

"Sit" i said he sat on his place. I bite my lower lip thinking how to start "are you....um...sure about—-" I don't know how to ask him about this.

"I am sure about my feelings" he answered my unasked question "I never be with this sure with my last relation" he said calmly.

I was thinking like snatching rishi away!!

"I know you have these questions in your mind I don't blame but pooja I love you" he said when ever these words came out from his lips I felt like most happiest girl on earth.

"I know it wasn't easy for you to trust me when I just get over from one relation" he said looking at my hands "but I broke that because I realised my real love" he said looked at my eyes.

"Rishi—-things were complicated" I said "because whenever I thought about us,I feel like you weren't mine to think" I said tears rolled on my cheeks.

"You've realised your love for me after Sri and raj told you and I said so" I said he looked at me with frown on his handsome face "if they didn't say nor me won't able to realise" I asked him.

"If you wouldn't come here won't you realise?" I asked him he looked hurt "before you guys say it to me I realise" he said and moved back.

"That's why I asked you to say no to marriage and poured all my feelings for you on that day in boat" he said and got up.

"It's okay if you don't trust me" he said and put his hands on his pockets "it's not like that rishi—" he stopped me start walking.

I felt tears rolled on my cheeks I walk behind him and stopped him before opening door.

"Please don't go" I asked him he looked at me "what should I do" he asked me I looked down don't know what to say.

"Pooja you love me as much as I love you maybe not more then you but i love you" he said cupping my cheeks.

"I feel like snatching you away" I blurted out my fear "no no, why are you saying like that" he asked me wiping my tears.

I pushed his hands away and walked to balcony looking at stars rishi followed me and stand beside me.

"Do you see those stars" I asked him he nodded but I feel his gaze on me. "We are like those stars" I said pointing my finger to star.

"We look so close to each other but there is lot of distance between us" I said and turn towards him who is now watching stars.

"But they shine in dark" he said "they give brightness to dark, they fill all the darkness of sky" he said and turn towards me.

"If I didn't love you then why would I do what ever you like" he asked me. "If I didn't love you why will I always be with you" he asked me.

"I love you pooja" he said softly melting my heart. There is sincerity in his voice, in his eyes. I want to trust him and I want to trust that this is not a dream!!
