My love is like a mirror, you can break it into pieces, but when you look closely, you're still in it.

Author's pov.

"I love you preeta! and this is the reason I came here for you" He confessed again bringing her back to senses and all she could do was to stare at his face moving her eye balls here and there being all numb.

Her heart was pounding against her ribcage and she felt like it would explode anytime.Her mind didn't work for some seconds.All she did was to stare into his eyes being shock finding her answer whether he was lying or it is true.

"Preeta"he called her weakly and was about to hug her that she moved back immediately.

"Na..nahi! Ky..kya kaha tumne?"She interuppted to clear herself again.

He again went near her and forcefully held her hands in his even though she was denying.

He didn't wanted to confess like this.He wanted to take some more time and wanted to share his feelings after clearing their missunderstanding.But the situation was like that and there was no option left for him to say that in order to make her believe in him.

"Wahi kaha jo sach hai..I don't know kab aur kaise hua.but I love you preeta.Mein jhoot nahi keh raha.I am serious.I love you"he confessed again and entwined their fingers standing close to her.

His heart beat rose seeing her expressions which not at all showed any positive sign.She looked so lost and emerged.He wanted to see the smile on her face but all he was receiving was the hate she was showering on him.

His heart was aching listening to her words and the way she isn't believing him and his words.He wanted her to belive him so that he could mend their love.

"Au..aur kitna jhooth bologe karan? Aur kitna Dil dukhana chahte ho mera? Why?"she pulked her lower lip with tear filled eyes and looked at him feeling broken.

His words didn't made any sense to her even though her heart fluttered listening to those words which she was longing since years to hear that from him.

But why I am feeling hurt listening to those words now?

Why his confession is so painful?

Why she didn't felt like saying those words in return.

This is more heartwrenching now.

"I am serious babydoll.Why don't you trust me?"he questioned feeling shattered and held her through shoulders pulling her.

But all she did was to shook her head negatively meanwhile tears rolling down her eyes looking at him lostly.

His heart broke seeing her and he immediately wiped her tears with his thumbs and kissed her forehead.

She still didn't moved and stood like that not getting what to say him.But soon she felt his arms around her shoulders and felt him as he took her in his embrace.

She clutched his shirt peircing her nails in on his fabric and his eyes got shut feeling her and the state of her mind.

He locked his fingers on her back and held her more close feeling emotional.His other hand reached her head trying to console her.

A sob escaped her lips and she stood leaving her whole weight on him clinging to him more.She Started crying and karan took a shrap breath while rubbing her back.

"I am so sorry.. please don't cry"he whispered against her neck with moist eyes and snuggled to her more.

She just went on sobbing realising what he said to her.His confessed warmed her heart as much as it was wrenching now.

She didn't believe whatever he said.It made her heart shine unknown to her.She never even imagined that he will say those 3 words to her, but now he said he loves her and he came here for her.

She was not ready accept that, this was so difficult to understand.Her sobs increased making his heart to wrench in pain.

He really felt relieved after confessing his feelings and moreover taking her in his arms is what he was longing to do.

He was ready to console her and to make her feel happy.He badly wanted to see the heart melting smile of hers.But all he did was to make her cry which was paining him the most.

"I ha..hate you"She muttered against his chest while crying and he felt her pain through those words.

"I am sorry please"he whinnied feeling sad listening to her.

"I did hurt you unknowingly babydoll..I swear I won't repeat that.Please do trust me this time.I love you"he said in order to console her ravished state.

"Please I want to listen those words from you.I am sorry"he again apologised not knowing how to curtail her pain.

He was trying his best and had decided to mend her heart to take her back with him.

"Preeta"he called not hearing her sobs.He thinned his eyebrows and lifted his head to look at her as he broke the hug.

To his shock, she didn't moved an inch.

"Preeta"he called again and made her look at him.

Soon his breath stopped as her head tilted back and her eyes were closed making his heart beat to raise in fear.

"Pre..preeta"he properly held her in his arms and patted her cheek feeling terrified.

His mind went numb seeing her unconscious in his arms.He panicked when she didn't opened her eyes and immediately picked her and made her lay on the bed.

"Preeta...ut..utho..kya hua tumhe?"he asked feeling frightened as tears gathered in his eyes seeing her laying all silent.

He immediately picked the water bottle form the night stand and took some water in his shivering Hands.

Sprinkling some water on her face he again called her trying to wake her up.

"Hey...ut..utho.. babydoll.. look at me..kya hua tumhe..ky..kya hai ye..mein nahi dekh sakta aise..please get up"he said patting her cheeks and soon tear rolled down his cheeks making him scared.

Word's weren't coming from his mouth to call her.His heart was throbbing in fear seeing her all silent.

Creases formed on her forehead and she tried to open tilting her head slightly.

"Loo..look at me..yes aankhein kholo babydoll.. please"he pleaded and held her both cheeks leaning towards her.

"Mei.."she murmered while opening her eyes and flickered her eyes trying to look at him.

"Kya hai ye preeta..kya hua hai tumhe..aise kyu behosh Hui tum?"he asked.His voice was low yet devasted.

She again blinked her eyes and opened them to see him sitting beside her.

"Mei..mein yaha kaise?"she immediately asked and tried to get up.But as she lifted her head she felt a pain which made her to rest her head back on the pillow.

"Ah"she muttered holding her head with her hands and karan looked at her worriedly.

"Kya hua? Dard ho raha hai? Tum kaise behosh Hui preeta..kal raat ko kuch khaya nahi hai tumne..isiliye hua hoga..tum aise hi raho mein kuch Kane Keliye leke aata hu"he said cupping her cheeks.

"Mujhe kuch nahi chahiye..Mein thik hu"she whispered lowly.

Karan signed in disbelief listening to her and held her arm.She looked at him he forwarded her the water bottle saying her to drink first.

"Pehle tum Pani piyo..I am not going to listen to you now..Tum thik nahi ho and let me take care of you..Do you know tumhe behosh dekhe mein kitna Dar Gaya tha..I was numb for some seconds.aur keh rahi ho ki tum thik ho?"She was about to cut him that he placed his finger on her lips and shushed her.

"Meine kaha ki mein tumhara abb kuch nahi sununga..jab thik ho jaogi toh tab mujhe kuch bhi kehlo I will listen..but not now..so just keep quiet and let me do my work"He command her.

Preeta Just stared at him in surprise.No doubt even before he took care of her like this so this was nothing new for her.But she always felt happy and lucky when he always did that specially taking care of her as if she was a child.

"Now try to sit..I will help you"he said and surrounded his arm around her back.Preeta gave him a firm look but he ignored her and made her sit properly.

"Thanks"she said lowering her eyes and took the bottle from his hands.

She was so starving that it led her to faint in his arms even due to crying.She didn't wanted to accept infront of him but she was feeling weak and felt like didn't had enough energy in her body.

Whenever she tried to have the food.She always ended up taking 4-5 morsels and to push that plate aside.The pain of her heart didn't made her feel like eating.

"Mention not, just wait some minutes mein tumhare liye koi juice order karta hu pehle"saying he called the hotel staff and said them to bring an Apple juice.

Preeta just rested her head against the head rest and closed her eyes.Karan looked at her sadly.His heart Pained seeing her all pale and weak.

He knew he was the reason for her condition which made him more gloomy.He shook his head feeling scared again as he remembered when she was unconscious in his arms.The feeling was worst.Even his head started to pain now because of the stress he took at that time.

He wanted to hold her close to him but seeing her he dropped the thought and just sat their looking at her mournful.

Meanwhile preeta didn't had enough stamina to argue or talk with him.So just sat with her eyes closed in order to take some rest.

Hearing the knock on the door karan stood up and went to open the door.He nodded at the waiter and took the tray from him and further said him to bring the breakfast.

He locked the door and came towards her.Sitting beside her he patted her hand.She flickered her eyes and looked at him annoyingly as if he disturbed her.

"Lo..drink this quickly ..you will feel a lot better"he suggested and forwarded her the glass.

She took it without arguing and started to drink the juice.Her mind felt calm all of sudden when she felt her stomach filling.

She gulped the whole glass taking her time and gave it back to him.He took it and kept the glass aside with a smile on his face.He inwardly chuckled as she was drinking the juice in such desperation.

"Feeling better?"He asked looking at her.

She nodded her head slightly and again closed her eyes leaning her head back.

"Tum abb nahi so sakti..I have ordered breakfast for you..usse khane ke baad rest kar sakti ho"karan informed her.

Her eyes opened listening to him and she gave him a questionable look thinning her brows.

"Mujhe kuch khane ka maan nahi hai.. juice was more than enough for me"She stated.

Karan nods in no while preeta made faces.

"Meine tumhare favourite breakfast hi order Kiya hai, Dosa"karan informed her.

"Nahi..abb mujhe kuch bhi khane ka maan nahi hai"saying she was about to get down from the bed that karan held her wrist and pulled her back

She panicked as she was facing his opposite side and her heart involuntarily held his arm for her support.

Karan chuckled inwardly seeing her expressions and looked at her causally.She glared at him in return and took her hands back.She was about to turn that karan gripped her waist and pulled her back.

Her body temperature raised feeling his warm touch and her eyes got closed for seconds before she opened and gazed at his handsome face.

Karan returned a smug smile and stared at her face making her all nervous under his gaze.

She immediately broke their eyelock not able to look into his eyes more.His eyes were enough for her heart to race and her body to feel the shivers.

She placed her palm over his chest and increased the distance between them.

"Meine kaha tha ki jab tak tum better feel nahi karogi tab tak meri baat sunogi and it is! you should have your breakfast without any argument"he concluded still looking into her eyes.

"Agar nahi sunungi toh kya karoge?"She questioned him showing her angry face.

His grip on her waist tightened and she gulped feeling his finger tips dancing on her skin over the fabric.

"Mei..mein tumhe aise hi mere paas leke baith jaunga.I won't let you go away from this bed.If you eat like a good girl then there would be no problem.So the decision is yours" her brows furrowed listening to his firm words.

Anger grew Inside her.She flared her nose seeing him and tried to push him away from her.

But his grip didn't loose making her more nervous and anxious.Before she could do anything the door bell again rung gaining their attention.

"I won't let you go till you eat.And it's better if you understand that, or else it requires just some seconds for me to capture you"Saying her left her and smiled before heading towards the door.

Preeta gazed at his back furiously and hit her fist on the soft pillow.Karan came inside and the waiter came from behind with their breakfast in a trolley and placed one by one on the table which was their in the room.

After he was done karan sighed him to go and served the breakfast in the plate for her.

Her face turned gloomy seeing his care and the way he was serving her plate.She remembered him saying that even he didn't ate anything properly.

He came towards her with a plate and was about to sit that she stopped him.

"Mein akele nahi khaungi.I am fine so you too can have your breakfast"she informed him taking the plate from his hands.

Karan saw her surprisingly.Even though he was starving, it flew seeing her not fine and he just forgot about himself while taking care of her.

"Sure! tum khaogi khud?"he questioned raising his brows at her.

"Hmm..tum apne liye leke aao!"She answered.

"I have ordered for both"saying he again went and served himself and came back to sit beside her on the bed.

"Tum nahi kha rahi ho!"karan said eyeing her plate.

Preeta averted her gaze and lifted her hand towards the plate.He nodded seeing her and took a bite.

He literally moaned inwardly after taking few bites and his extreme hunger was vanishing gradually.The feeling of filling the stomach when we are starving is at another level and he felt it today.

Preeta too eat silently gazing her plate.She was all confused and at sea after listening to his confession.She felt relaxed as he didn't talked about that again.She didn't even wanted to talk about that.The thought itself was making her all anxious.

.

.

.

It was 4 in the evening when preeta flickered her eyes from her afternoon sleep.

She didn't had proper sleep these two days and even though slept for some  hours now still she felt like her sleep wasn't completed.

After the breakfast she simply slept in order to ignore him.She was not ready to talk with him.She was scared what if he again open up that matter.

She didn't knew what he did after she slept.Her gaze turned to the side of her bed and she widened her eyes seeing him sleeping there.

He was laying straight on his back with his right hand rested inbetween his eyes and forehead.She turned to face him joining her palms together and placed them below her head while looking at him.

There was a foot distance between them so she didn't bothered and kept staring at his side view.She was laying on his left side so she could see his face but his hand blocked the view of his eyes which made her frown.

An impressive smile crept her lips seeing his sharp nose and his dimple cheeks then his perfectly shaped trimmed beards.He was a handsome hunk and she wished to stare at him all her day without blinking her eyes.

But the main thing was not to get caught by him while doing her favorite work.Her mind went to his words which he said in the morning.

Still she was not able to believe whatever he said was right and he was here for her.Giving her the place of his wife. she was literally shocked listening wife from his mouth when he addressed her.

She was baffled.Most important was his confession.Her stomach chriped as she revisited that moment.His confession was all she was dreaming in her life till now.But when it happened in reality she was not ready to believe his words.

No doubt it made her heart flutter, stomach to form imaginary butterflies and she felt all the foreign sensations in her body listening to those magical words which she was longing for.

She didn't knew why her heart was not ready to accept that.She was not ready to believe it even.All her mind replied was that his words aren't true and he was just saying those loving words to her in order to respect her feelings, as he already knew her feelings for him.

This is the only thought which was coming in her mind and even she was feeling uncomfortable to face and talk to him now.

She stunned knowing that he came here for her leaving roshni.She thought he would be fine without her in his life and will be happy to spend his life with roshni.But her every thoughts went wrong when she saw him here.

She shifted close to him and lifted her head to take his hand from his forehead.

Carefully trying not to disturb his sleep she held his hand and removed it from his forehead.

He titch'ed and opened his eyes taking his hand back startling with her sudden action.Preeta pressed her lips scolding herself for waking him up.

His eyes turned to look at her and he saw her dumbfounded as he just got wake up from his deep slumber that to in sudden beacuse of her touch.He didn't understood anything for some seconds and kept staring at her face.

Preeta gulped and immediately shifted away from him maintaining the good distance between them.That is when he came back to proper senses and blinked his eyes and rubbed his face while sitting on the bed.

"Tum..tumne kya Kiya? I was sleeping"he offended.Even his sleep felt incomplete and he looked at her with a glare.

"Kuch nahi..wo..woh tum sir pe hath rakh ke so rahe the toh mein usse hata rahi thi that's it"she gave the reason and instantly sat on the bed.

"Toh nahi rakhna chahiye?"he asked confusingly.

"Ha nahi rakhna chahiye.. It's not good"she added.

Karan frowned in disbelief not at all understanding the logic and stood up and corrected his shirt and hair.

"Mujhe toh kuch samjh mein nahi aaya..give me the reason"he asked further.

"Mom ne kaha tha..I forgot.But the main reason is that their won't be a proper blood circulation while sleeping in that position"She replied with a huff trying to make him understand.

"Ok doctor.Ye tum pehle hi bata sakti thi"karan giggled.

"Yeah! My bad"she made faces and looked away from him.

"How are you feeling now? All fine?"he asked.

"Hmm"she nodded.

"Good! Mein fresh up hoke aat hu"saying he made his way towards the washroom.

.

.

.

"Tum jao, mujhe akele Jana hai"preeta said while going away from him as they stepped outside the hotel.

It was dawn.After having some snacks preeta said she wanted to go towards the beach.But karan insisted to go with her which made her uneasy.He wanted to take her out but she herself informed him and it felt more easy for him to take her outside.

"Mein kahi nahi Jane wala.So it's better if  you stay beside me all the time"karan informed with a smile and was about to hold her hand that she took it back and started walking forward.

He sighed sadly and quickly took two steps ahead to reach her.Preeta saw him angrily and looked away while walking fast.He too increased the speed matching with her pace and smiled at her.

She wore a beautiful simple off shoulder blue gown.She looked mesmerising like always and he was drooling over her beauty.The evening where sun was nearly set and the sky all orange and pink, the wind making her hair flow across her face and even the view added to her beauty.She looked enchanting to his nacked eyes.

"Tum jao na..I want to stay alone for sometime.Tum vaps chale kyu nahi jate.tumne mujhe dunda na pata chal gaya na ki mein kaha hu..aur ye bhi bata deti hu ki 2 din baad mein Delhi chali jaungi aur hamesha Keliye wahi rahungi mere mom dad ke saath.Agar kabhi bhi meri thodi toh yaad aayi toh tum mujhse milne aa sakte ho.It's okay even if we will be dev.."he blocked her mouth placing his palm and looked at with a range filled eyes.

"Preeta please.I don't want to argue with you now, the devorce which you are talking about is not going to happen ever in this life..so it's better if you take that out form your mind.You are my Only wife and I surely see my future with you"saying he took his hand back and looked at her feeling hurt.

Giving her the one firm look he sighed and walked further leaving her in thoughts.

She stood there and gazed at his back with moist eyes.His words surely affected and immersed in her mind making her to realise the meaning of those words.He didn't even said anything indirectly.It was all clear.He made it clear.

His wife.

Her heart beat raised seeing him going away from her and she knew he was angry listening to her words.Her limbs took a step forward and soon she ran towards him.

He was not that far but still she ran as if he was going away from her.As soon as she was near to him.He sensed her and turned to look at her.

She took a deep breath and looked at him .

"Yaha tak aayi ho..lekin mujhe awaz nahi dogi na..kitni ziddi ho tum..this is not done preeta"karan said feeling disappointed.

She came towards him and stood facing him with a angry glare.

"How dare you to leave me there..tum apne aap ko samjhte kya ho?"she questioned feeling angry on him for walking away from her.

"Oh..if I remember kisine mujhse kaha tha ki mein dur jau! they want to spend some alone time"He mocked her.

She looked at him more furiously and nodded in her mind listening to his words.

She didn't replied but turned to go but karan took a step and caught her hand from behind.She pressed her lips and tried to take her hand back without turning.

"Agar tum mujhse hath chudvadogi toh mein chod dunga"he said from behind holding it tightly.

She grit her teeth and tried to take her hand back putting her all energy.But failed to take her hand from his strong grip.

"Leave me"she muttered but karan pulled her hand and she gasped landing on his chest.Her both palms got rested on his chest and soon she felt his hand slipping on her waist again locking her in his arms.

"Chodo karan"she insisted glaring at him.

"Never!tumne haath nahi chudvaya toh I won't leave you now.I had left on you but you loose the chance..so this night is all mine..tum mujhse bhago gi nahi..and If you do, I will make sure to make you stay close to me and I am serious"karan made her clear and pulled her close making her breath hitched.

She was just lost in his passion filled words and the way he was making her heart crazy listening to his possessive words for her.Words weren't coming out of her mouth thinking what to reply him.

She herself wanted to stay close to him and never to leave his side.But the reality was something else which was making her to stay away from him.But he was again and again making her weak with his love filled eyes and words that she was loosing herself.

"And take it as my request not an order babydoll"he added warming her heart and she stood like that feeling his warmth.

"Now come with me"he called gaining her attention and shifted back to hold her right hand on his.

She just watched him as he was taking her somewhere.She had no idea that she was giving up on her anger but only thing mattered to her now was him.
