Manik's POV

She was so angry that she didn't even realise that she was not wearing proper clothes to go out.

" Roshni, wait, you can't go out. Be here with me. I need to talk to you. " I said. I caught her shoulders and stopped her from moving and pushed her in the opposite direction.

" No!!! You are engaged to Myra. I need to stay away from you. " She said trying to pull herself out of my grip.

" Stop this right away and listen to me. You are getting me wrong, I was not saying that. " I almost yelled.

" Then what are you saying? " She said.

" Listen we need to talk about us. Our feelings... " I was saying but she was in a different mood altogether and interrupted again.

" Don't worry, I will force myself to kill those feelings for you. " She said and I felt as if she stabbed my heart.

" Stop it!! Why are you behaving like this? " I said.

" Like what??" She was very angry.

" Weirdly!! In fact, your behaviour has been very weird recently " I said.

" Weird?? How? "

" You were responding to the flirting of all the men in Delhi... You were enjoying it? You wanted to go on a date with Vihaan? Wanted to touch Sidhh's muscles?? What's wrong with you? " I didn't want to say all that but somehow could not stop myself.

" Weird?? Wrong?? Why are you saying that?? So what if want to go on a date with Vihaan?? How does it matter to you if I want to touch Siddh or anyone else?? You are engaged to be married to someone else, so now I have started to look for other options. In fact, have even shortlisted the ones I prefer... " She said.

" Rosh... "

"...Please give your opinion about them as you are my guardian and I am your responsibility. I will consider your opinion while choosing the best one for me." She said.

" What is the hurry, you are barely nineteen. Who gets married at that age?? " I tried to make her understand.

" Oh, I want you to be relieved of your duty or responsibility as soon as possible so that you can live happily ever after with your Myra. " She said and pushed me to go to the door again.

I lost my mind and claimed her lips. The pair of lips that had kissed me tenderly was hurting me with the harsh words. But she was getting hurt too.

I pushed her away from the door while kissing her with all the emotions I had for her. She was still shocked, I pulled her in my arms and kissed her as if I was dying and she was my only hope to live.

I tried not to allow my hands to roam over her body but they were getting rebellious and started wandering on her body. I literally had to release her and move back.

She was shocked at what happened just now. She was looking at me as if I had grown two heads.

" Manik Ji, what was that?? Would What Myra.... "

" Will you please shut up?? Can you just not talk about all of them? " I said glaring at her. She was looking at me in shock.

" I don't want to talk about any of them including Myra. " I said holding her hand in mine.

" Then what do you want to talk about?" She asked.

" Nothing that involves any of them. Talk about you, me... " I said. She looked surprised.

"About me?? You know everything about me. And what do I say about you? I have no right to talk about you... " There was a sad expression on her face.

" You have the right to talk to me about anything," I said looking into her eyes.

"Anything?? "

" Anything... "

" You won't like, what I want to say... You never liked what I said till now. I told you about me, you ...us but, apparently Myra is more important to you. " She said and tears started flowing from her eyes. I hugged her and tightened my arms.

" Oh, Roshni... No!! You are much more important to me than Myra. I am so sorry, I didn't want you to get hurt but still, you are getting hurt because of me. I am sorry. " I said.

" Manik Ji? What are you saying? " She got confused.

" Tell me what you want... We need to talk about ourselves. " I said.

" Us?? As in you and me?? " She asked looking at me with her big orbs.

" Hmmm. "

" I don't know what I want... I have already made myself look like a fool by telling you what I wanted. I don't want anything now. Leave me alone. " She pushed me but I caught her again.

" I can't leave you alone. I want you in my life. " I said.

" What do you mean?? You wanted Myra... " She was shocked and asked again.

" I don't want her, I want you. I want you, Roshni. Oh, God!! Help me, but I don't want Myra, I want you, Roshni. " I said.

" Manik Ji? What are you saying?"

" I love you, Roshni." I finally get it off my chest. She was flabbergasted.

"But... Your engagement?" She asked.

" I was about to talk to Chachi about my feelings for you after I kissed you in the bathroom, the night before the engagement. I knew that I loved you at that time but I was sure that it would not be accepted by society. So I needed to talk to Chachi about it. But didn't get the chance. And you know what happened the next day. " I explained.

" But why were you getting engaged to her if you love me? " She asked.

" I could not break hearts and the friendship between so many people... Please, give me some time to sort out things before I talk to my family.

There are many complications if we think of being together. Please let me solve them.

" What complications?? "

" This kind of relationship is not acceptable in society. "

" Do you think it is wrong too? " She asked.

" No!!! "

" Then it doesn't matter as I don't care about society. " She said and hugged me I wrapped my arms around her.

" I have been dying to hear this from you for so long. I love you Manik Ji and it was killing me to see you with her. " She said and I felt some moisture on my chest. I pulled her away from me and saw her eyes filled with fresh tears. I wiped them.

" I was trying not to say them as they could create many problems for us, especially you. Give me some time, I need to find a solution. I need to talk to my family about it. I need to talk to Viren and Sujal too. I can't live without them. I am really sorry for saying this, Roshni, but my friends and family are as important to me as you are. I don't want to hurt anyone. I need time to sort out things. See, I told you my feelings, but I will not take risks with the life and reputation of my family and you. They are more important to me than my feelings. " I said. "

" I am just happy to hear that you love me. " She said and wrapped her arms around my torso tightly.

" Er... Ummm. Roshni, Don't... touch me... like that. Please. " I said as I was getting a little bit too excited and I didn't want to shock her more.

" Why?? You just said you love me. "

"I do, but... "

" No, buts!! I want to hug you as we love each other. " She said and tightened her arms.

She will kill me today.
