I was seriously in a big dilemma between kissing him and killing him after hearing those words. Finally, not finding any other options, I closed my eyes and huffed in frustration as the pain came back crashing on my heart again. The pain of the truth that he was going to go back to her...

"I don't know what to say. I know that you don't love me when I have fallen deeply for you. You behave like you feel things for me when you love somebody else." I huffed again before opening my eyes. I could tell, my words had left him in a tiny shock. Yup buddy, I know that you love Nishika...

"What?" He snorted incredulously like it was hard to believe.

"I know about Nishika. And how much you love her..." I added letting him know that there was no need to continue with the pretense because I knew...

God! It felt so good to get that off my chest after such a long time. But then the relief I had found in confessing to him had changed into bewilderment when he exclaimed in frustration, "What bullshit! Who told you that?"

I felt like one of those cartoons with button eyes who just blinked. What did he mean by that? Had I misheard it? No, he was loud and clear when he confessed to Nishika... Then why was he reacting this way?

"But I heard you confess that to her back home, by myself. With my very own ears."

Viaan sat up looking serious, with me on his laps. I pulled up the bedsheets to cover myself, very much aware that none of us were clothed at the moment.

"Do you remember the date or day and where you heard something that absurd?" He asked as he picked his laptop from the nightstand and opened it.

"I can never forget that day. It was the day of our reception. You were with her in the library back home in Hyderabad. She was very upset about us getting married," I recalled all the things that I remembered about the incident, every second felt like a stab to my heart.

Viaan let go of me, letting me sit beside him and opened a remote application connecting to a private network.

Entering all the credentials, he clicked on a 'Monitor' button and selected recordings. A huge list of recordings appeared on the screen which he filtered out using the search and got all the footage of that day. He selected the library footage and fast-forwarded it till Nishika entered.

"How can you do this to me, Viaan? How could you marry her when I've been waiting for you my entire life? You knew about my feelings for you, then why didn't you consider it?" She shouted as soon as she entered.

Viaan closed the file he was holding and sighed in irritation.

"See Nishika, we are good friends, always have been. Whatever feelings you have had always have been from your side, not mine. And this isn't the first time that I'm telling you this. But here, I'm saying it all over again! It's not like I love you but now I'm married to her, she is my wife now," Viaan in the footage stated making Nishika look bitter, on the other hand, my mouth fell open in shock!

He had said that! Viaan had actually saidthat!And I had only heard from the part where he said 'I love you'...

Stupid stupid Rynah! Damn... I suffered for nothing for so long!

If I had only asked him about it before...

"Hey, hey! Look at me. It's not your fault," Viaan cupped my face and turned it to look at him, "it was the circumstances that had made us be the way we were. Don't cry now."

It was only then that I realized that I was crying and unable to resist it, I threw my arms around my husband and cried out louder on his chest. And as sweet as Viaan could be, he pressed me closer to his body and slowly rubbed my back, whispering sweet nothings.

He was all mine, he had always been only mine!

I had never thought that I would be sobbing so uncontrollably in happiness while Viaan held me in his arms, saying all the sweet things. Might I not forget about our birth suits.

He pulled back after a while when I had calmed down and swept away the hair from my face, "now shall we go down for our breakfast? Everyone must be waiting downstairs."

Blushing pink, I nodded in reply. Smiling that breathtaking smile of his, he pecked my forehead before getting out of the bed. I was a blushing puddle sitting on the bed. Gosh! Today cannot be better than this already!

*******

Wearing a comfortable pair of black high waisted wide leg trousers and white sleeveless V-neck top, I glanced for one last time in the mirror. I was sore throughout my body, so it had been difficult to move much initially but later I got a hang of it.

By the time I got ready, Viaan was standing by the big arched window and talking over his phone in a blue Henley and cream chinos.

Gosh... Simply so handsome.

As if being called, he turned over his shoulder and looked me in the eyes. My breath had been knocked off looking at him look at me like that and knowing for the fact that he was mine.

"Okay, Daniel. I will talk to you later," he ended the call and turned completely to face me. My breathing labored as his long legs started to eat up the distance between us. Without actually pausing, his fingers eased into my hair before his lips came down on mine in a passionate kiss. It didn't take me much time to react as I kissed him back just as passionately. My hands dug into his hair, trying to pull him closer to me feeling needy of him. His other hand went around my waist to pull me flush against his lower body making me shudder at the recall of the previous night.
