SHREYA'S POV

"I don't know should I ask it or not but why did you kill your father?"

I asked it not because I doubt him. I believe in him and now I am pretty sure that he has not murdered his father. His eyes were telling that. And I don't need his words to assure me.

I just asked it because I wanted him to let everything out. I know if Prem does not know about that incident that means he hasn't shared it with anyone. It is buried in him from years and it is eating him out making him hollow from inside.

I want his heart to be empty from all the pain he has gone through so that I can fill it again with love.

He was looking into oblivion and started his story like he was repeating that scene in front of his eyes.

"I was sleeping in my room when I heard the sound of screaming. I woke up and followed the voice. She was fighting with my dad on something. There was no one in the home except me, that woman, dad and Madhu" he paused

"The moment I went in I heard the sound of a gunshot and I screamed with all my might. I saw, I saw my father crying in pain. I ran to him and put my hand on his heart exactly where he got a shot. Blood was oozing out. I started to cry by looking at my father in this condition. I pleaded him to not to close his eyes and not to leave me to this cruel world but he didn't listen to me and took his last breath in my arm."

A ray of grief crossed his blank eyes for a second.

"After some time we heard the sound of the police. She got scared and immediately put that gun in my hand after wiping her fingerprints. "

"The police entered and saw the gun in my hand. She blamed everything on me and started to cry like she is the most hurt here as she lost her husband and the police took me under their custody making me apart from my father. I didn't even defy them or defend myself because I was in so much remorse that I was not able to comprehend what was going on" He took a breath.

"Within a few days, I was standing in the court as a criminal accused of his father's murder. And I lost it and got imprisoned in a juvenile home until I reach the age of 18" he moved his eyes and looked at me.

"And you know why I lost the case?"

I questioned him from my eyes because I was not left with even a little strength to move my lips.

"Because of the eyewitness. And you know who was that eyewitness?"

I remained silent for him to continue.

"My last ray of hope. Your Madhu Masi"

My mouth fell open. Madhu Masi? She...But why? She saw everything and she said it against him. Supported that woman.

"Because that woman kidnapped her daughter and threatened that her daughter would be raped and murdered if she doesn't do according to her," he said like he heard my questions.

"She too became selfish at that time and I got the punishment for the crime I never committed"

I was just speechless and eventually, I was not able to control my tears. They start to roll down my cheeks no matter how much I control them. But I have to be strong. Strong for him.

"I didn't even cry back then and just accepted it as a part of my fate. From that day I shut the door of my heart for everyone. But after so many years you, you knocked on that door unknowingly" he said looking deeply into my eyes.

His eyes, his eyes were not blank. They were readable now. But there was nothing more than pain in them. I was not able to control my tears whereas he, there was not even a tint of a tear in his eyes. How could be someone so strong?

"I am afraid that you too will le..."

I didn't let him complete the sentence and put my fingers on his lips.

"I will never leave you. I promise" I said

He gulped like he was restraining himself from crying.

I opened my arms for him, welcoming him into a world which he missed. He was broken inside and I will collect those pieces to give him life again.

He didn't take even a second and put his face in the crook of my neck. He was shivering and I can feel his uneven breath on my neck.

This is not done. He has to cry. He has to cry today to let everything out from his heart. Otherwise, his wound will never heal.

"Cry Atharva," I said but he didn't

"Please cry" still he didn't cry.

"Atharva, let it out, please" I entangled fingers of my left hand in his hair and moved the right hand on his back up and down like a baby.

And then.....he cried.

This was it. This was what he was asking for. He cried his heart out.

He clutched my waist from both the sides and pulled me towards him. He hugged me so tightly that it started to hurt. I was not able to breathe properly. But my pain was nothing in comparison to his.

We stood there like that for I don't know how many minutes and he was just crying making my top and neck drenched in his tears. The only sound that could be heard was of his loud sobs.

After a few minutes, I pulled away and wiped his tears from my fingers.

"No more crying now"

And with this, I took his face between my hands, pulled him close, and sealed my lips with his.

We stayed like this for a minute without making any move.

Then he pulled away took my face in his hands, looked into my eyes, and me into his. His eyes were shining.

"I want you, Shreya," he said

"I am all yours," I said without giving it a second thought because there was no need for it.

I AM HIS.

(Light mature content ahead. If you are uncomfortable you can leave)

With this, he instantly attached his lips with her softly and lovingly. But this time she didn't stay like a statue. Rather she responded to his kiss with equal fervor.

He was kissing her like he has got everything that he had wished for and she was kissing her like she was giving him her light to bring him out from his darkness.

After a minute they pulled away and he took her in his arms in bridal style and began to move to their room.

Both were looking into each other's eyes like they were when they entered the house on their wedding day. But this time the feeling was mutual and that was of love.

Both kept their promises. He was able to make her feel like a Queen and she was able to make him cry.

Their desire was increasing with every step he was taking towards their destination.

They entered their room and he put her on their bed kissing her again with love and set her tresses free from the band. She too was not able to restrain herself and entangled her fingers in his soft, little curly hairs.

He took the hem of her top and moved it a little up drawing circles on her bare waist exactly where he clutched her tightly.

When she was out of breath he left butterfly kisses on her face, wiping her tears from his lips. And then left wet kisses on her neck, spending time on her sweet spots making her moan in pleasure. She moved her head to the other side giving him full access. He moved her top from the shoulder and kissed there. He arched her back unconsciously.

All these feelings were new to her and she was liking them. She was feeling tingles all over her skin where he was touching her and thousands of butterflies were dancing in her stomach.

Suddenly, he stopped his actions and stood up. She got surprised by his action and missed his touch already. She sat on the bed looking at him all confused.

He turned and removed his shirt from his body showing his bareback to her.

"I am not perfect," he said

She put her feet on the floor and went to him. The room was dark, the only source of light was the moon that was peeping from the window of the room.

From that light, she could see many scars some deep and some light on his back. They were looking like they are years old.

A tear escaped her eye looking at them and her fingers touched those scars softly. He stiffed at first but then relaxed.

She put her palms on his back and moved them up and down. He started to melt under her touch, for him her fingers were feeling soft like a feather. No one has ever touched him so lovingly.

"For me, you are just perfect," She said and started kissing his scars.

He closed his eyes in anticipation and a moan escaped his mouth. Her warm lips were feeling like a perfect ointment to his wounds.

She kissed and rubbed her thumb all over his back spending time on each and every scar as if she wants to fade them with her lips only.

This is what he was craving for years. After years he was feeling something. After years he feels his heart to be alive. He can hear his own heartbeat. After so many years he was genuinely happy.

Happy for himself!

Happy for her!

Happy for both!

After kissing him, she hugged him from the back. He wanted to stay like this with his light forever.

He turned around and saw his girl. The moonlight was making her face to shine even more.

He turned her making her back touch his front. He moved her hair on one of her shoulders and started kissing her moving his fingers in her soft and silky tresses. His kisses were demanding and possessive but his lips were soft and warm. He pulled her top down from one of the shoulders exposing it and left soft kisses there. She shuddered under his kisses.

He sucked and nibbled on her neck leaving his marks on her. Marking her as his.

She closed her eyes and fisted her top embracing all these new feelings. Her breaths were becoming heavy as she was getting difficulty in breathing.

She wanted more. Her body was reacting the way he wanted.

He turned her to face him.

"You don't even have an idea what you do to me" he whispered in her ears and kissed her behind her earlobe earning a moan from her.

She blushed in embarrassment and he chuckled because she was very sensitive to his touch and they were having an effect on her.

He moved his hands from her shoulders to her waist sliding down her arms. He grabbed her and pulled her to his chest. He moved his hands all over her body, feeling her every curve.

"Has anyone touched you or kissed you before?" He asked sensually.

She just nodded her head as she was not in a situation of moving her lips because of all the spell he was doing on her.

"Who?" He asked grabbing her arms tightly.

"Mum.....Mumma"

He chuckled loudly.

"My innocent butterfly"

She bites her lower lip because of the way he said her new name butterfly.

"Don't you dare to bite them. They are just mine to do that"

he said while pulling her lips from her teeth with the help of her thumb.

He smiled and looked her down with love and a tint of lust in his eyes which she can now read easily. He bent down and kissed her lips again but this time demandingly and hungrily as his life depends on it, devouring her mouth, she too moved her lips along with his skilled one and moved her hands up and down on his chest.

He pushed his chest more into her front like he wanted to make their body as one.

They were so close that they can hear the thumping of each other's heart which was taking only their beloved name with every beat.

He pushed her a little and she falls on the bed with a little bounce on her back and he hovered over her and intertwining his fingers with her, putting his forehead on her panting heavily.

He didn't move his eyes from her, praising his beautiful and innocent angel finally in his arms willingly. She too was looking into his eyes with fascination and her eyes were shining like stars.

He was enjoying that because only he knows how much he craved for this moment to happen. To make her his. Only his.

There was no need of uttering any word now. Their eyes were enough to understand each other and to talk to each other.

Slowly and teasingly he removed all the obstacles between him and her.

"Beautiful," he said roaming his sinful eyes all over her body.

She hides her now crimson red face with her palms.

"Don't" he said in the husky voice and removed her hands to look in her diamonds.

"Just look into my eyes when I make love to you," he ordered

He asked for her permission with his eyes which she gave him by nodding wholeheartedly. She gave herself into his kiss, his touch, and him completely.

He worshipped every inch of her body softly, delicately, and with the utmost care, like she was his 'Most Precious Possession and Treasure'.

The velvety night passed away slowly with the moon becoming the evidence of their love.

AND THE TWO BODIES BECAME ONE SOUL.
