Beautiful Infatuation

Chapter 70

Sneha's eyes welled up as she heard him.

Why can't he believe that it wasn't her intention? But, then she understood that it wasn't the right time to think about her. He was really hurt...and it was time for him to get consoled.

He waited for her to speak but she was speechless as she continued looking at his chest with a sad face.

"But, now that I think about it, it is not your fault either. You have been faking it all along. It was my fault that I entrusted you with my emotions and happiness. It is my fault that I fell in love with you."

Sneha looked at him when he confessed again.

"But, don't worry...I have realized that I don't need you to love you. I will always love you but you won't feel the burden of it. Even if you go ahead in life and marry someone else and have kids of your own, I won't bother you. Because I now believe my mother when she said that I will never get happiness in my life."

The way he spoke out his heart broke her heart as well. A tear did escape from her eye. She had not come here to hurt him! But, eventually, she did end up hurting him.

Viraj took a deep breath as his eyes scanned her face.

"I am requesting you now...Please don't come here again. Every time that I see you, my resolve for letting you go breaks. It becomes harder for me to console myself and control my emotions. I don't want to end up going crazy and crying for you again. So, please...Go and live your life as you have always wanted to." He finally said and took two steps back to give her room for going out.

Sneha's heart felt heavy as she heard him. The intensity of his emotions never got into her heart as it did today.

When she still didn't move, he added.

"Don't worry about me either. Someday, I'll get married too and move on..." He said this so that she won't think of him as an obsessed person. But, he couldn't speak further as a pair of soft lips covered his.

Sneha must have gone crazy at that moment since she raised herself and kissed him. She didn't want to think of him becoming someone else's man.

Viraj was stunned for the entire moment that her lips stayed on his lips, even if it was barely for five seconds. It was something he had never expected in his life. His entire body was on fire. So, he stared at her as she lowered herself and her eyes automatically went downcast. He could see the tears of shame clearly.

A good amount of silence prevailed before he walked past her and closed the door gently.

Sneha heard the thud of the door and she concluded the worst. She thought he went outside because of her childish act. Since she was not going, he decided to leave.

Her mind went blank and she didn't want to ponder over her actions. Why did she kiss him? Why was she holding on to him when he was ready to let her go? Wasn't this something that she had wanted since day 1?

'Why did he lock me in and went outside?' She thought and turned around.

But, she came face-to-face with Viraj again who held a very serious expression right now. He pushed her gently on the wall and placed his palms near her head, on the wall, caging her.

"What do you want, Sneha? Tell me clearly." He asked in a strict, no-nonsense tone. His gaze kept shifting between her eyes and her lips...hoping she would kiss him again. He was aroused, for heaven's sake, just by her slight physical touch!

Sneha's heartbeat had gone haphazard. She couldn't think clearly, then how can she speak rationally?

"Sneha!" He called for her again as she continued looking at his chest with wide eyes.

"I don't know!" She said and raised her head to meet his gaze. But, a scattered light ray hit something metallic on her left, making it shine and attracting her attention. Involuntarily, she looked to her left and what she saw melted her heart.

Viraj was still wearing the engagement/wedding ring. She had not been so observant before but as he stood so close to her, it was clearly evident.

At this moment, she just wanted to see him as a man who was insanely in love with her...and not as a criminal. She had always wanted a man who would love her selflessly. And, as she looked at that man, she didn't want to lose him. She could fight with the world just to get his affection back.

"In that case, I'll give you ten seconds to think. Leave before these ten seconds. Or, I swear to God, Sneha, if you won't leave now, then I will never let you go." He said, loud and clear.

Both looked at each other as the seconds ticked by.

All her rationality flew out of the window as she stepped forward and raised herself again to kiss him. Viraj quietly let her approach him with closed eyes and placed those delicate lips on his again. He was in heaven.

Acting on impulse, she whispered on his lips, as their noses touched.

"Don't let me go." She said.

Viraj held her waist and pulled her impossibly close to his body. Kissing her senseless, he answered.

"Even if hell freezes and you would beg me, I will not let you go...ever." He promised.

Both knew what would transpire between them now. Even Vinay, who stood out of the door knew what would happen behind the closed doors. Nonetheless, he waited for five more minutes to confirm his suspicion before leaving for his car.

"Well, congratulations Viraj." He couldn't help but smile at his friend's reconciliation with his wife.
