Hii guys,

Sorry for the previous boring chapter.

So continuing the story,

Lakshmi and Shalu start going but......

They suddenly both stopped in their track......

Tum mere ho iss pal mere ho
Kal shayad yeh aalam na rahe
Kuch aisa ho tum tum na raho
Kuch aisa ho hum, hum na rahein...

The person is none other than Rishi. He is singing the song for Lakshmi. His eyes are only on Lakshmi with much love and longingness. Everyone can able to see the love, guilt and anger.

Yeh raaste alag ho jaaye
Chalte chalte hum kho jaayein...

Rishi remember if Ahana and Gautam hadn't came on time then they both had been div......

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga...
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga...
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga...
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga...

Lakshmi eyes become moist. She tries to control the tears of her eyes but failed miserably. Tears start falling from eyes.

Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Rishi look at Lakshmi and promised himself that he will saveguard Lakshmi till his last breath from every odd, from every bad eyes and never let anyone rise a finger on her respect.

Meri jaan mein har khamoshi mein
Tere pyaar ke naghme gaaunga
Mmm...
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Both are looking at each other with tears.

Aise zaroori ho mujhko tum
Jaise hawayein saanson ko
Aise talashun main tumko
Jaise ki per zameeno ko

Lakshmi feels the love, she want to believe at Rishi, but she don't want another heartbreak, she was making herself believe that it was Rishi's guilt nothing more than that.

Hansna ya rona ho mujhe
Paagal sa dhoondu main tumhe
Kal mujhse mohabbat ho na ho
Kal mujhko ijazat ho na ho
Toote dil ke tukde lekar
Tere darr pe hi reh jaaunga
Mmm...

Rishi remember the time when Lakshmi got to know about his extra marital affair and how she disappeared suddenly. In this period Rishi forget to breath and how he got a dream and how he confessed his feelings for her to her.

Lakshmi remembered how Rishi came back to bank even after knowing that inside is so much danger because the hijackers has kept her at gunpoint. How he risked his life for her.

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Rishi came doen while singing the song for her from his heart and it reached her heart, his minti's heart

Lekin jab yaad karoge tum
Main banke hawaa aa jaaunga
O...

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Iss chahat mein marr jaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga.

The voice of Rishi is showing his pain, his regret but Lakshmi deny to see that because she had a fear of another heartbreak.

Rishi: (teary eyed and with broken voice) Lakshmi please forgive me. I know I, dad, Mom, Ayush and no one deserves your Love and care but still I beg you please forgive me Lakshmi. You always asked me whether I trust you or not, And I always said no but the reality is I always trusted you, I always thought how can my minti changed so much, and top of that my "THE RISHI OBEROI " ego always came in our way Lakshmi but inside I always trusted you. I even told Ayush that I don't believe that you can be pregnant. I told him that there is something fishy (Ayush nodded) But my problem is that because of my ego I never talked to you properly. Did You remember that before you got to know the truth I always used to say that you always look more beautiful when you smile. (Lakshmi nods and internally she is happy with Rishi's confession but didn't show it) Because your smile always sooth my pain, my dilemma but when this misunderstanding came and I thought that you are here for mon.... then I thought that this smile is of my minti (hearing my minti from Rishi's mouth is soothing Lakshmi's pain) and this smile is always make me remember my minti and it gives me pain but still I love your smile and your smile make me smile too and make me weak too and I don't want to fall weak that's why I always told you to not smile. But Lakshmi I always loved you, please forgive me Lakshmi please. I really love you without you there is no Rishi, Lakshmi I will die without you. Please Lakshmi forgive me please don't leave me Lakshmi please don't.....

Saying this Rishi fall with a thud on floor breaking down completely....

Everyone are shocked to see Rishi like this, they all are seeing Rishi like this for the first time in their life. Because they have never seen Rishi this much broken. Everyone are now regretting on their actions but now they are too late to rectify their mistakes.

Lakshmi after composing herself and making her heart belief that Rishi is only guilty and he is speaking all this in his guilt.

Lakshmi : (without any emotion ) Rishi, you aren't in love me. This is your guilt and you're naming this guilt as love but this is not love but this is your guilt Rishi. You're in love with Malishka, May be you are angry with Malishka currently but when your anger will be over then you will realize that you always loved Malishka not me.

While Lakshmi is saying all this, Lakshmi was feeling like she is stabbing her own heart with sword.

Saying this all she again start leaving, she reached the gate was about to step outside but stopped in her track....

Rishi:  with utmost love 👇

Tumhare Aane se,
Zindagi, Zindagi lagti hain!
Jisme tum naa ho ,
Woh khwahishe adhoori lagti hai!
Tootna hai Baahon mein teri,
yeh wada meri har saas karti hain!

Lakshmi turned back with teary eyes and soon tear start falling from eyes uncontrollably.

Rishi: (with soft voice) Lakshmi you told me that when you got that card that you thought that I said it all for you but at the other moment  you thought they are your feelings for me. You were right Lakshmi when I write that shayari,  I was only thinking about you. I even told you that I don't know for whom I wrote that shayari but my heart knew that It was for you. Its just that I didn't accept that I  wrote for you. You know when the bullet hitted me that time I remember this shayari and this shayari was going in mind, I only remembered you because I thought I won't woke up again and a dying person remember his most loved one at his death bed and you are my loved one. Isn't it the proof of my love. You always said that if a person respect his mother then he respects all the girls.  So I am swearing on my mother I really love you Lakshmi.  I love you from my starting but its just that I never accepted. Did you remember even that goon know that I love you its just me who never accepted it.  And I am really sorry for that Lakshmi but trust me I Love you.  If you leave me then I won't be able to survive. I will die.  I will die Lakshmi.

He was at the verge of breaking down.

Lakshmi becomes emotional and she knew that Rishi love her more than anything. She can't do this to him.  She can't hurt him.

So Lakshmi came and hugged him tightly.

Lakshmi : (Happyily) I love you Rishi.

Rishi: (Reciprocating the hug and happily) I love you more than anything else.  I really love you Lakshmi...

That's it for today guys.
