Sia chuckles at his question. She loves to hear why he fallen in love with her.

She tried to look up from his chest but he didn't let her. Not caring of his action, she smiles and answered, "Why you love me, Armaan?"

Armaan lips almost prickled. His senses ask him to back off. He will break her delicate heart. Eventually, he will break her, but he decided to listen his mind instead of heart.

He took a deep breath, "I love you begins by I, but it ends up by you. I love you with every beat of my heart. I love you because you join me in my weirdness. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way." Armaan begins with heavy heart. Tears brimming in his eyes.

Love is what he can't get, he can't give, he can't stay for.

Unaware of his heart shattering state, Sia grinned listening to him. Her heart felt pleased. Sanity and solace, is what she finds in him, but she didn't realised that her every piece of peace is going to shatter soon. Her heart will be broken soon.

He will walk away, with her heart.

"I love you too, Aaru." Sia replies enthusiastically, using the endearment which she use to tease him.

He hates when she calls him 'Aaru' because it sounds too girlish to him.

She was waiting for groaning and annoying sound of him, but nothing like that came. Instead, she heard a sob coming.

Her brows furrowed. She tried to push him away but his hold on her never lessened.

"Armaan, are you crying? What happened?---" She tried to push him away but his hold on her was same, "--Lemme see. Why are you--- Armaan, Leave me." She wriggled in his arms.

"Please, some moments. Stay like this." He pleaded. His voice was so broken that made churn in her stomach. Her gloves clothed hands fisted his jacket from behind.

"What happened, baby?" She asked worriedly. She never saw him crying. Never.

She felt uneasy for a moment. Something in her heart said it's going to change. But change 'what'?

If she knew!

"Whenever I tell you I love you, I don’t say it out of habit. I say it to remind you that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, Sia. I love you." His lost confidence, his heavy voice didn't settled her senses.

What he said;

It was full of love yet broken.

It was promising but broken.

It was soothing but piercing to her heart.

She felt her heart dropping into her stomach pit. She felt nauseaous. She can sense something dreadful is coming. She pushed herself more into him like he'll fade away with his words.

Only if she knew.

"But you need to know that you’re enough. You are complete with or without me. You are enough just as you are. You---" Sia cut off him in between. She already understood where this is going.

"Armaan, no...please stop. Don't---don't do this. I know, I am stupid. I am clumsy, but don't do this to me. Please.. I love you. If there's something wrong, we can fix that. Don't---" Her heart cried. She can't take this. Not now, not ever.
