Meant for each other

42. A Confession

"Navikaa, come fast. We have to start the rituals" mummyji's voice came and I opened my eyes pushing Arjun away. I jumped out from Arjun's hold and stumbled to stand properly. Arjun gripped my arm and helped me to stand properly. I lick my lips as I look at Arjun's condition. His kurta and hair were a mess and he had my lipstick smeared all around his lips.

"They all just don't like to give me alone time with my wife. Always coming in between" he mumbled and went near the dressing to fix himself. I also move towards the dressing table and winced as I saw my condition and started fixing my clothes. We both ten walked downstairs together

...............

I walk in our room as I try to understand the conversation I just overheard about Arjun and his brothers. Bhaiya's were asking Arjun to tell me something he have kept secret all along our marriage and now I am starting to worry

"Navika" I heard Arjun's voice as he entered the room and I turned to see him walking in 

"Yes" I said fidgeting with the corners of my dupatta and he walked towards me slowly looking a bit nervous too

"Sit down. I have something to tell you" he said and held my hand gently in his as he walked with me to the bed and we both sat down there looking at each other

"Are you going to stay here for two weeks this time?" I asked as he was looking around the room and not talking and I just tried to break the ice and he chuckled a she looked at me with a smile

"No, its just that. I am not really sure how to start this" he said looking up at the ceiling and I held his hand gently and turned him towards myself

"If you don't want to, you don't need to" I said in a soft voice and Arjun caressed my head lovely and kissed my forehead

"I had a whole speech on how to tell you but I don't know why am I getting nervous now?" he said looking in my intensely and I smiled at him sweetly

"I was back for my internship when I guess you were in your first or second year of college" he started as if he was narrating a story to me and I listened keenly

"I remember and I was in my first year" I said and he smiled a bit and some of the frown on his forehead seemed to fade away a little

"I saw you around the parties and functions a lot and I started a crush on you" he said and my eyes widened and I slowly shook my head opening my mouth once or twice

"How? We never even talked and no matter what you say I know I am not that pretty" I said looking at him shocked and a little amused as he chuckled and shook his head

"It wasn't that properly. I mean I thought you were beautiful always but" he started but stopped as it looked like he was thinking about something

"I was standing alone in a lot of parties and not a lot of people paid attention. My brothers did for the first three parties but when I couldn't they also let me do whatever I wanted" he said and I nodded my head slowly in encouragement 

"But you didn't you always came back and stood next to me for the whole night, not saying a word but just being there for me" he said and I smiled recalling the year and I was not even thinking a lot. He was just alone and I just stood there too

"It wasn't anything like that. I didn't even think a lot about that" I said and he smiled and leaned a bit to kiss my cheek

"See, you don't think a lot before doing something nice. Its just in you. I liked that a lot" he said and I smiled even more

"And then I saw you in Akshit bhaiya's wedding and you looked like an angel in your that white lehenga" he said and I tilted y head a little to admire him

"I couldn't stop myself from calling you angel and so did Advika. She heard me calling you angel after you took her back to us" he said and I opened my mouth wide in shock at his this statement and he chuckled and nodded his head to confirming my unasked question

"I guess I fell in love there and after that I left but I couldn't forget you." he said and I just felt tears forming in my eyes 

"So when I came back this time and papa asked me about marriage I told him how I liked you and he asked if you knew and I denied. So he asked if he should ask you about marriage and I said yes" he said and I felt tears leaving my eyes and I hugged Arjun as he wrapped his arms around me

"I am sorry I didn't tell you this before marriage. I wanted to propose to you properly but we both just didn't get enough time or one or the other thing kept happening" he said and I nodded my head still hugging him tightly

"I was going to tell it you on the date but you ended up drunk just after some time" he said and I chuckled looking up at him as he smiled at him and I got up a little and kissed his cheek

"This is the best proposal I could have ever wanted. I can't say I liked you back them too but I can for sure say I love you a lot now" I said and he smiled as he scooped me in his arms and pulled me on his lap

"You are not angry or anything because I hid this?" he asked cuddling me in his arms and I shook my head

"Why would I be angry? Liking someone is never wrong until and unless they reciprocate or you know your boundaries if they don't. And you knew everything" I said and kissed his lips softly as he smiled.
