I heard a Knock on the door, and I walked near to the door and opened it, there he is standing with full of groceries in his hands. I sighed and took a few of the things from his hands and walked inside the kitchen and organized the things on the counter.
When I turned, I saw him with a huge grin on his face and slowly walking towards me. I was about to ask something, But he hushed me by keeping his hand on my mouth and saying "Let me, please".
I simply nodded.
"Good, baby girl." then he took a pause and said, I love you Riya, Love you so much...
I was astonished by his confession...
He hugged me tightly, caressing my back gently and saying "I love you since the moment when I saw you, I like everything about you Riya, Your smile, kindness, down-to-earth personality.." and by breaking the hug he looked over me and said Do you know what I like most about you?
I said don't know.
"Then he leaned to my ear and gently said, your eyes Riya I like that most, When you are smiling, It's Just glowing...Uhmm, I like it."
I simply stood over there and thinking what to respond and how to.
"Uhmmm...Rishab I don't know what to say.." I said to him. And then without hesitation, I asked him "Do you love me? "
"Oh, HELL YES!!!, Riya" he said fast and then followed by "I LOVE YOU!!!!"...and then my tears started to roll down my cheeks...Since childhood literally, no one said to me I love you. It is the best feeling since ever happened to me...I hugged him and closed my eyes to feel his body over me, and then my father appeared, and I broke the hug and started to panic...
"Baby, are you alright? What's going on?" He asked.
"I can't do this, rishab" please let me go...
"BABY!!! What are you talking about? I will never let you go away from me, You are mine and always be mine." He said angrily and concerned.
"He will not allow us, I don't know what to do" I cried on his shoulder.
He hugged me and said calmly "I know, I know baby, I know how to handle this kind of thing, Okay?, Do you trust me Riya?."
"Yes, I do."
"Great, Then come with me. NOW!!!"
