Rishi's PoV
It was already 11.30 when we reached Archana's house. I want to see her. That little innocent girl is now my wife. She is the same now. I knew she liked me back then. I know she loves me now. It's all me who is to open my heart to her. I don’t know if it’s already late. I'm going to do it anyway. I will accept any punishment she is going to give me.
"It’s almost midnight. I don’t think it's wise to knock on the door now." Kishore said.
"I don't care. I need her." I rang the doorbell. Pragan too came along with us to introduce us. We don't wanna freak the people in this house. A man of my dad's age opened the door.
"Who are you? Pragan, what's going on?" he asked, looking at us and Pragan.
"Uncle, please let us in. He is Danya’s husband." Pragan said.
That uncle had a smile on his face looking at me and let us in. I am now afraid. How will I face her?
"Sit down maapillai(SON IN LAW)! Danya is with Achu. Hope they slept." he told looking at me. He is speaking to me in a nice way. Has she not said anything to them? His wife came with water. I felt so guilty that I disturbed their sleep.
"Um... sorry to disturb you all at this hour. But I need to see my wife." I told them.
"Haha. It's ok maapillai, She said you will come before 8am tomorrow. But you came way before her estimated time. We are happy that you love her more than she thinks." Her friend’s mom said.
She knew that I would come in search of her? She expected me to come and take her. She just wanted me to come to her. So, they knew we had a problem. But still they treat me with utmost respect. They address me like family. Danya has very loving people around her.
"Shall I see her now? I want to talk to her." I said with guilt.
"No problem maapillai. Wait let me get Achu out. You can go in to talk to her." Aunty went upstairs.
"Mapillai! Whatever the situation may be, you should not raise your hands on a girl. She is so precious to her family. She stopped me from calling her family. Or else you would be talking to them now. Aakash is very possessive of her. No one has ever raised their voices at her. Think before you do anything. That way you can avoid these misunderstandings!" he told me.
I felt so ashamed of myself. They are just friend's family. They had so much love towards her. But I behaved so low. I just nodded my head to him.
"Oh, it's you who made her mad?" a girl came down the stairs with sleep in her eyes. She must be Achu. She looked at me. I looked back at her puzzled. What has Danya said about me to her?
"You are so lucky to have her. Don’t you dare mess with my friend again." She spoke to me with her index finger raised at me.
"Achu!" Her parents stopped her.
"The first room upstairs. She is awake." Archana told me and turned away.
I ran upstairs. There she is, as sexy as ever in a tank top and little shorts. She stood up looking at me. She is shocked. Her cheek bears my handprint. I just wanna crush my hand. I'm a monster.
I just want to go hug her. But I have no courage. I can’t see her in the eye. I'm afraid for her reaction after all I have done wrong.
"Rishi" I heard her whisper!
D's PoV
When I said his name, he stood still. But still he is looking down. I took a step towards him. He cleared his throat. I found it so cute. I know he is struggling to make conversation with me. He is guilty for his acts and is afraid to face me.
Awwww he looks like a kid caught eating chocolate. I just want to crush him in a hug. But it's so interesting to see him. I just want to know what he is up to. So, I stopped with one step.
He came to me and stood close but still not looking me in the eye. He took my hands in his hands. He knelt down on his knees near my legs and put my hands on his eyes.
