"Why are we here?" Looking into his eyes, Drishti held his hands which were going to cover her eyes.

The next day Rakshit had left home with her for a small trip to England so that she cpuld have a break from all the stuff that happened. Especially as Romi told her to get her out of the house or Divya would do something to her.

Divya had been angry for many days. Despite every move of hers, Drishti was still on the top and it was too much for her.

"You talk a lot" he tries covering her eyes but she slapped his hands away saying that she had seen the penthouse he had bought for them. "Can't you just listen to me?"

"No" she giggled but let him close her eyes.

"Follow me" taking her hands in his, he led her inside and closed the door.

His wasn't a big surprise but he knew she would love it as little things made her happy. And for that happiness, he was willing to do anything. He took her into a room and then opening the sliding window, made her stand in the balcony.

"And now, open" he said.

Drishti could hear the excitement in his voice and as she opened her eyes, she laughed seeing the decorations.

She laughed, not because the decorations were too bad. But because she remembered how he left her saying that he had an important work and now she knew what was that important work.

The balcony had a small bed at one end which surely had curtains attached to the wooden roof, blue colored lights hanging around and celestial decorations everywhere.

The sceneted candles were blown out that made him sad because he had no idea it could happen.

"Oh my god" she laughed seeing all the shimmery stuff he had arranged, the bundle of rom-com book he had kept on a table, a picture of them hung on the wall- the one he hated but she loved.

As she looked behind and saw Rakshit, she laughed even louder seeing his face stuck in a glare as she was laughing.

"Thats so rude" he complained as Drishti grabbed his waist and pulled him towards the bed. Opening the curtains she made him sit as she roamed around, admiring all the decorations he did for her.

Black and grey

Just like she loved

"You did this for me?"

"No, for my manager Vinay!" He screamed before falling back on the bed and crying in pain.

Pain of being laughed at💀

"You're one grumpy Shergill" she chuckled before laying beside him and turning towards him. "Thanks"

As she laid her head on his chest and circled her arms around his waist, his frown was replaced by a smile when she kissed his cheeks.

"This is so sweet" she whispered happily. "And its for me"

"Just for you" he smiled as he rubbed her shoulders and took her in his embrace.

Closing her eyes she remembered how life used to be. How she was alone but not alone. She was loved when outside her house, but inside that house, she felt unloved.

Was there a place she would ever call home?

Anyone she would ever call family, except her friends?

And there they came.

The two she loved to call as her family. A place where she felt home.

And then he.

The one near whom she felt loved and she knew she didn't have to worry about anything. He would be there beside her, no matter what.

He sighed. Never had he thought about admitting his fault when it came to the conflict with his own brother. But now things were different. With her beside him, it was easier to accept his faults.

He was protecting her from everything and she was protecting him from himself indeed.

"You know" he didn't know but from her voice he could tell that she was crying. "Nobody loved me"

"Mrs. Shergill" he said while getting up and sitting properly in front of her. "What happened?"

"I had my friends, but I was still alone" she kept her head in lap and sobbed as he caressed her forehead. "In the beginning, mom and dad never let me make any friends. After their death only did I have friends"

"What? But why?" He asked politely. Even if his heart ached to see her cry, he wanted her to tell him everything- everything that has ever bothered her and he wished that would just make it all go away.

"They loved, Divya" she sighed "I was never loved. She had always been good at studies and everything while I didn't talk much initially. It wasn't because I didn't want to, but because nobody would listen. You know, mom would beat me if I ever cried or asked for anything and Divya- she would just laugh seeing me cry"

"What about your dad"

"He cared less. Sometimes he would take my side but in front of Divya, I was a nobody for everyone. Romi have told you that producer incident, well, I wasn't forced to do it because of me, but it was to make a way for Divya only. Dad came at the right time though"

He tried hard to control his anger. What could he have done? Her parents were no more.

But they dared do this to his wife, his beloved Mrs. Shergill.

"She took away all of my friends by spreading rumors. At school, it wasn't that I never performed well. I stopped taking part in extra curriculars when my biggest achievements were ignored in front of her small ones. Nobody even appreciated me you know"

He could see the lump in her throat vibrating. She could cry any moment and the mere thought made him grieve.

She deserved to be happy, didn't she?

Just like that she told him a few incidents and other ways her parents always preferred Divya, about Divya and her relationship.

"But then you came" she smiled "Thank You"

Kissing her forehead he laid beside her and rested his hand on her cheek. They looked into each other's eyes and knowing that they were all they ever needed, they were at peace.

"Mrs. Shergill?"

"Hm" she smiled

"Don't you worry. You'll never be alone. I am with you" he kissed her nose seeing which she couldn't help but blush. As he placed his forehead against hers, they could feel the nervousness radiating from them. "I promise, all you will ever experience from now will be happiness. If something bad ever came, we will stand together and face it. We will find our happiness in each other Mrs. Shergill, we surely will"

"We will?" She asked, as if unsure

"We will" he smiled

As their eyes focused on each other and the distance between them wasn't noticable anymore, they just listened to what thei hearts said. Closing their eyes they kissed in a gentle peck.

"I love you" they said simultaneously and opening their eyes in shock, laughed in each other's embrace.
