His eyes were glassy too. He knew she was mentally tortured; he consoled her. He was thankful that she finally vented her anger and all the bitterness she had for him!
After a few minutes, unawares, Roshni hugged him tightly. She wanted him more than she thought; she knew it and gently raised her head to look at him with tears in her eyes. She cupped his face with one hand. “I love you, Deepak. I love you. I have always loved you. How could you do this to me?”
She buried her head in his chest and cried profusely.
Deepak cupped her face with his hands and turned her to face him. “I love you too, Roshni. I love you, and I cannot live without you.” He pulled her to him and hugged her. Both of them wanted each other. They hugged, feeling the comfort and warmth.
They remained in each other’s embrace for a long time, satisfying their hunger and thirst for each other, feeling safe and secure in each other’s arms!
Chapter 32
Akash and Sheetal Agree to Marriage
Roshni and Deepak woke up to reality when Roshni was startled by the door opening. Sheetal stood in front of them with a box in her hands.
Sheetal looked at both of them. “Oops, I should have knocked first! I am so sorry.”
Roshni wiped her tears of joy and moved her head away from Deepak. “It’s all right, Sheetal.” She quickly glanced at Deepak and turned towards Sheetal. “We should be repentant, for…for…not being aware of our surroundings. What time is it?”
“4:30.”
“Sheetal, we didn’t realize it was this late. Please forgive us.”
“Don’t worry, Roshni.”
Sheetal glanced towards Deepak, and he nodded that all was well and looked very happy and relieved. He continued to hold Roshni close to him with one arm around her waist.
Roshni noticed the box in Sheetal’s hand. “What’s in the box?”
“Well, you asked me to bring something, didn’t you?” Sheetal reminded Roshni.
Roshni instantly remembered that Sheetal was bringing a cake. “Ha, yes, I remember. Deepak, we have a cake for you. We want you to cut it,” Roshni said, facing him.
“So you bought a cake for me,” he said, and then he bent down to her ear and whispered, “I received my gift, thank you.”
Roshni felt a little embarrassed in front of Sheetal and quickly changed the subject. “Deepak, can you cut the cake now that Sheetal is home too; then we–”
Deepak let Roshni loose, and both started to move to the table.
“Can you wait for a little longer, please?” Sheetal asked.
Both Deepak and Roshni stared at each other and then wondered why Sheetal wanted to wait.
“Sheetal, is there a particular reason you want Deepak to wait?”
Sheetal did not want to tell them that Akash was expected any minute and spoil the surprise, so she thought quickly. “Well, it’s been a long day. I’d just like a few minutes to freshen up.” She hoped Akash would arrive soon.
“Of course,” Deepak said. “Please take your time.”
Relieved, Sheetal placed the box on the dining table. Deepak moved to the family room to relax while Roshni limped to the kitchen area to finish what she’d been doing before her outburst.
The doorbell rang.
Sheetal jumped to open the door, and Roshni was astonished to see Sheetal so ecstatic. Who could it be?
Akash was at the door, and Sheetal and Akash were delighted to see each other. It was obvious, and Roshni and Deepak shared a knowing look.
Akash came to his senses and came forward and hugged Deepak. “Happy birthday, Deepak. Many happy returns of the day.”
