Rashi kept looking at her with a serious expression which made her nervous more than she already was.

"So he proposed you."

She said and Sakshi nodded.

"And you denied."

She nodded again.

"And now you love him."

Again she nodded.

"Aur isme tujhe meri kya help chahiye. Mai thodi na bolungi usse that you love him. Go and tell him."

(So what help will i do in this. I will go and tell him that you love him.)

"Par di mujhe teri permission chahiye thi. I didn't want a repeat of last time."

(But i wanted your permission.)

She mumbled lowly. Rashi sighed and said.

"Sakshi. Mai tere pyaar ki dushman nhi hu. Mujhe problem bas iss baat se thi ki Piyush achha ladka nhi tha. Adarsh is very nice. Usse mujhe koi problem nhi. I always wanted your happiness."

(I am not a villian of your love. I just didn't approve of Piyush. I don't have any problem from him.)

Sakshi nodded. She knew this. Rashi had always wanted good for her. It was her who misunderstood everytime. They sat silent for some time. Rashi suddenly clapped excitedly.

"Yayy!! Meri dono behne mere saath rahengi. Kitna mazza aayega."

(Both my sisters will live with me. It will be so much fun.)

She said making both Sakshi and Pranati chuckle. Sakshi couldn't express how happy she was. She had her sister's consent. She smiled and blushed thinking about Adarsh. She couldn't wait to tell him that she too loved him.

**************************************

A week has passed since her conversation with Rashi. She was trying hard to gain courage to tell him but everytime he came in front of her she forgot how to speak. Just kept looking at him, admiring his features.

Adarsh did not look at her directly even once after his proposal. He couldn't gather himself too. He knew that if he looked at her he would break again.

Today Sakshi had decided that no matter how much courage she had to gather she would tell him her feelings. She couldn't tolerate a quiet and sad Adarsh. She loved the always talkative and happy one.

She moved out of her cabin towards her boss' to take his permission for a break. She was almost there when one of her colleagues stopped her.

"Hey Sakshi."

He said. Sakshi smiled at him.

"Hii Varun."

"Umm-kuch baat krni thi."

(I wanted to say something.)

"Haan bolo na."

(Yes tell me.)

She had just said that when her boss' cabin door opened and he stepped out. Her breath got stucked.

Adarsh and her companies were partners and were doing a project together and so he was here to brief Advik, Sakshi's boss about something related to it.

He looked at her for a moment but then looked away. He had just started to leave when the person standing beside her spoke and his eyes widened. He turned around with such speed that he was scared he broke his neck.

"I love you Sakshi."

Sakshi looked at him shocked. Why was people around her suddenly confessing their love for her. She muttered something under her breath and then her eyes met his.

He was looking at her as if waiting for her to answer that man. He wanted to know what she says. And she knew that this was the moment. It was either now or never.

She took a deep breath to calm herself and then looking at the man in front of him she said.

"Varun. I respect your feelings but i don't feel the same for you."

She was about to say sorry when she remembered his words.

"Don't be sorry for what you don't feel."

His smile fell while Adarsh felt himself sigh in relief. He spoke again making him clench his fists. Can this man not understand the meaning of what she said or did he want a clear 'No' on his face.

"Atleast we can give it a try. Agar phir bhi you think that you don't feel the same for me then it's fine."

(If then also you feel that you don't feel the same then it's fine.)

"I can't."

She said. He frowned and asked.

"But kyu?"

(But why?)

Now she looked at Adarsh and when she found him already looking at her she smiled and said her next words making his breath waver.

"I'm in love with someone else. Kisi aur se pyaar krti hu mai. Bhut jyada."

(I love someone. A lot.)

All this while their eyes never left each other's and Adarsh felt his heart jump in his chest. The man thankfully took the hint and left. When he left Sakshi looked around to see if anyone was around and when she found no one she quickly went near him.

Standing in front of him she looked into his eyes which were shining with anticipation. Her heart skipped a beat at the intense look he was giving her and her courage wavered a bit but she composed herself.

Enclosing her hand around his wrist she started pulling him into her cabin's direction. Once inside she locked the door and then turned around looking at him. Both of their chests heaving. One's with anticipation and other's with nervousness.

Gaining the bit of courage she needed she launched herself into his arms. He stumbled a bit due to the unexpected move but quickly stabled himself and round his arms around her.

"I love you."

His hold on her tightened.

"I love you. I love you so much Adarsh. I am sorry aapko bhut pareshaan kiya hai na maine."

(I am sorry i have disturbed you a lot.)

Finally!! She confessed her love. His heart was finally at peace. The woman he loves reciprocates his feelings.

He hid his face in her neck to calm his feelings. They stayed like that for what felt like eternity. None of them wanting to leave each other.

She pulled back and wiped her tears which had flown down unknowingly. Looking deep into his eyes she said.

"Mai bhut sensitive hu. Chhoti chhoti baaton pr ro deti hu. Koi mujhse unchi awaaz mai baat kre mujhe rona aa jaata hai. Bhut overthink bhi krti hu."

(I am very sensitive. I cry at the smallest of things. I cry when someone talk to me in high tone. I overthink a lot.)

He laughed at her cute expressions. Pulling her closer he again kept her head on his chest and his above hers.

"Mujhe bas tu chahiye. Mere saath rehna baaki sab mai sambhal lunga. I love you."

(I just want you. Stay with me and I will handle everything.)

He said kissing her forehead and she smiled. Smiling mischievously he asked.

"Waise mohtarma ko humse pyaar hua kab?"

(By the way when did madam fall in love with me?)

She smiled seeing him back to his normal self after so long.

"Jab uss din Pranati di se milne office aayi thi na. Uss din."

(When i came to meet Pranati di in the office that day. That time.)

"Toh itne din mujhe tang kyu kar rhi thi? Tabhi bol deti."

(So why did you disturb me for so long? You could have said that day.)

He complained pouting.
