Riwa's P O V
10 YEARS LATER ~
"You sure about it baby." Trishan my husband said.
"Yes, baby I'm damn sure." I said
"But Riwa this is your dream job...you don't have to do this. You..."I didn't let him finish.
"Look trish, I'm doing it for us, for me and you.you don't have to worry about it...I can leave any job just to be with you...and it's not like I can't find one in Canada." I said
"I know you can find it as long as you want but I-i don't want you to sacrifice your career just for me." Trishan said.
I took his face in my hands and said looking in his eyes "Trish I know you miss your sister ( Chetna) and she misses you too. I know you wanted to be near her b'coz after the death of mom and dad she is the only one you're left with...i know I'm with you and always will be but Chetna also needs us...so,stop convincing me. I'm not gonna change my decision. I'm resigning from my job and that's final."
Trishan smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Okk boss as you wish." We both laughed and hugged each other tightly.
10 years ago,after my first heartbreak I thought i can never find love that i will always be alone. Of course that was until i met Trishan. He's a great guy and more importantly he loves me wholeheartedly and I love him too more than anything.
We met each other in college and he was the first to make a move on me. He chased me for 2 years but I wasn't interested in this whole relationship thing. I had rejected him a no. of times but he was persistent and continued to chase me and finally when he proposed to me on the Valentine's Day, I gave up and said yes to him.
Believe me that was the best decision I've ever made in my life.
After dating for 6 years. Now we're happily married for 2 years. We both work in the same company but we've kept are marriage a secret. No one in our office knows our relationship not even our boss.It's because I don't want people to discuss my married life and Trishan agreed with that.
Trishan's mom and dad died 2 months ago in an accident. He didn't take the news well and had a emotional breakdown. He had started to distanced himself from everybody and that broke my heart.
It took him one whole month to recover. Even though he never shows but I know that he misses his younger sister Chetna a lot.
Chetna lives in Canada with her husband. She was as devastated as Trishan but she recovered eventually.
So,we decided to move to Canada so as both Trishan and Chetna can stay as close as possible.
"Riwa have you mailed your resignation to Mr.Rana?" Trishan asked bringing me back to reality.
"Yeah almost done"I said as I was sending the mail.
"Okk..I'll wait for you outside." He said.
"You want something to eat?" Trishan asked again.
"Hmm...can you make a cup of coffee for me" I said.
"Alright" He said and left.
I sent the mail and headed to the kitchen where my lovely husband was making coffee. I stood at the kitchen door and watched him.
"Take a picture it will last longer." Trishan teased me.
"That I don't want coz you are stuck with me forever so I can look at you whenever i want."I teased him back and he laughed.
"That's also right."He came up to me and kissed my forehead. We stood there in silence holding each other.
"Hmm...baby what do you want to have for dinner." I said still hugging him.
"Whatever my beautiful wife will cook."He said and kissed my lips.
"Okk...now go I'll make coffee and something to eat for dinner." I said and he laughed as he must have noticed me blushing but didn't said anything and left the kitchen.
After having our dinner Trishan insisted on going for a walk. I was dead tired but still went to have a walk.
We were walking silently when suddenly Trishan asked "Riwa can I ask you something?"
"Yes? What happened?" I asked
"Are you happy with me?..I mean I know it wasn't easy for you to look after me after my parents death. And you never ever shared how you felt about it.so?" He said
"Look Trishan , I won't lie yes it wasn't easy for me coz they were my in-laws. They were just like my own parents and they loved me as much as I loved them. I was also upset and devastated but it was nothing compared to what you were going through." I stopped and looked at Trishan who was already looking at me.
"And yes it wasn't easy for me to see you going through all of this.yo..you were like a dead person and it broke my heart to see you like that. I wished I could take your pain away but you weren't letting anyone to help you not even me and that was worse then any kind of pain." I said as tears were rolling down my cheeks.
Trishan stared at me for a moment and then he engulfed me in his tight embrace. I felt him kiss the top of my head and said, " I'm so sorry baby I didn't know you were going through so much. I was selfish and I neglected you. I didn't know you had buried all this in your heart to look after me."
"I'm so lucky to have you as my wife Riwa and I promise you that I will never hurt you again. I love you Riwa more than my life."He said tightening his hold on me.
"I love you too Trishan..please don't do that ever again" I said still crying.
"Okk... stop crying now you're staining my shirt." Trishan said making me laugh and pinched my nose "you look more beautiful when you smile." And with that he kissed me again.
"Stop it Trishan. We're on the road."I said pushing him away.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, " so what? You are my wife"
I gave him a dirty look and started to walk.
"Alright alright. My bad, let's go home and continue this." He said and I pinched his waist.
"Ouch..that hurts." He said dramatically.
"Alright...stop acting." I stopped and looked up at him. Took his hand in mine and said, "Let's go."
He smiled and entwined our fingers.
