It was silent in the atmosphere, and the clouds were crumbling. I didn't know what to do after seeing this situation turned me into ashes and yet, had a perfect body.
Prachi crossed Bhargav without talking to him and sat down, looking at the places, seriously. It was anger. As I was walking close to console her, Bhargav stopped me, holding my body and took me away from her. I requested him to leave me but, he wanted me to not to go and talk at that moment.
"Well, I won't say anything!" I said, removing his hands from my abdomen.
"I just want to answer her questions."
"This is not the right time to answer," he said, making me sit on the rock.
"You have to understand her anger, idiot!"
He sat beside me and pulled out the cigarette packet from his pocket.
I was staring at him as he was picking a cigarette from the box and trying to light up.
He looked at me and asked, holding the cigarette between the lips, "You want to smoke?"
I denied, gesturing.
The clouds thundering was bigger than the previous. Others were started leaving the hill.
"I think, we should also get to go!"
He took a puff and said, "Let me complete this!"
"Ragh!" someone from the back.
She was Prachi, standing in an outward situation in front of me with a little look of hesitation.
"Yes!" I smiled, walking to her.
We were facing each other in a fight for the first time after coming into the relation.
"I want to—"
"I want to—"
We grinned.
"What a coincidence!" Bhargav smiled.
She was pretending to be serious with a smile on her face.
I apologised her at first and asked whether she is angry at me or not. She replied, slapping me to not to talk rubbish about her again.
"She slapped me!"
I held her t-shirt and pulled her close.
Her heart started beating fast, and my breath showed her the anger.
"You got hurt?—Uh!," she asked, tears rolling on the cheeks.
"What happened, suddenly?"
"Why is she crying?"
"I heard everything on the call," she said.
"What call?" Bhargav asked, lowering his brows.
Suddenly, it started raining, and her tears concealed in the raindrops.
As I was slowly moving my hands away, she held my hands and pressed on her chest, tightly.
"I apologise you for everything, Ragh! Because—Because I love you so much!" she sobbed, leaning her face on my chest.
"But, if you wanted her in the first place, why did you choose me?" she asked, looking at me.
Her words pushed me in the sorrow of guilt where I couldn't withstand the truth. My tears were flowing inside the body, and I was afraid of the feeling of losing her.
"You already knew!"
I wiped her face through my arms and kissed on the forehead.
"If you wanted her in the first place--you could have told me before I started loving you, limitlessly, Raghav!!" she cried.
There was nothing I could ask for more in a relationship.
"Why didn't you slap me that day?" I asked, wiping her tears.
"—Why today?"
"I thought of losing you," she sobbed.
"Baby, don't cry!"
"Please, I'm here with you! Look at me," I raised her face towards me.
"The way you smile whenever you hear her name, it gives me the thought of losing you!"
"I would never leave you, Prachi!" I clarified.
The situation was under control.
She pulled my face towards hers and whispered, "This is not just a feeling which kept haunting me, it's a fear which pushed me onto the edge of our relation."
"I'm sorry—" she kept her fingers on my lips.
"I heard everything—And I'm here with you—right in front of you b-because I love you more than you do!"
Her tears showed me how much she got hurt. I was an idiot who did the stupidest thing to make her smile fade away but, I was relieved after getting to know that she heard everything that I wanted to say.
She lowered her voice, crying and pleaded, "Please, don't leave me, Baby!"
"Please," her every tear told me the sin I did.
"And I don't want this feeling of losing you even for a second," she tightened her arms on my shirt.
"Don't!" she exclaimed.
When she said that word, it became uneasy for her to breath.
"You are crying too much for me!"
At last, my tears burst out of guilt and hugged her.
"I will never and ever leave you, Baby,"
"I would never."
