The Invisible String

Chapter 26. She's the one

Wind continues to blow, and the soothing winds are getting replaced by stormy tides. We stayed there for a moment like this, joined foreheads, no words exchanged. I don't know about her but this quietude alleviated the storm I was going through thinking of her leaving me. The thought Of no one will be there in the morning beside me.

She cannot leave Me. She is mine.

She is mine even before I could've realised it. The crucial part is now I will never let her go even if she wants to, but I am hoping that she is also wanting the same because I can't think of her Leaving me. Needless to say, few things need to be clarified between us. I can't leave any room for misunderstanding between us. She has every right on me and the truth about me, not the farce she was told. She needs to know she is the one I would alway prefer carrying my last name. No one else.

Womaniser? My father taught me better than that. Never in my life have I ever even laid my eyes on any girl. Not even on my so called ex-Fiancee who was orchestrated by Ragini.

Vanya needs to know she is the only girl I wanted to see my whole life, day and night it's just her. She needs to know she is more than just a responsibility to me, more than just obliged to me. More than just a normal girl. She is my wife.

I detached my head from hers only to see Vanya's eyes closed. She is tired from all the crying. This time I encircled my left arm around her waist hoping she would not get uncomfortable. She won't distance herself now.

Reflexively her hands held my shoulders to balance and I couldn't help but smile in victory, her body convulsed in mine. She rested her head on my chest. I tightened my hold.

"Stay," I whisper softly.

She looked up on me with her beautiful red puffy eyes. I cupped her left cheek" You heard me, Vanya. Stay with me."

"Don't leave me" I admired her glistening eyes, her lips parted.

I gently wiped her tears with my thumb. "And about being with more than just one woman, let me clear you one thing, You are the first and last woman who came this close to me." I confessed, touching our nose, her lavender fragrance filling my lungs.

A lone tear fell from her eyes. "First and last to whom I laid my eyes to, first and last to whom I let her touch me, first and last to carry my last name, first to hold, first to be with, first and last to sleep beside me. You are My every first Vanya."

Tears started to cascade down her lashes, her chin shivers. I swear Aroras had to fucking pay for her tears, for the turmoil she went through all these days. She inhaled heavily "Can you stop crying? I came to think Niagara Falls has less water than you." I teased her, trying to make her enlighten, and she with tear eyes chuckled.

"How many girls did you want before me?"

"You're the first and last girl I holded and wanted like this. There's no one else. I will not cheat on you adorable" I continued

She hugged me still sobbing and now I don't think there is anything more peaceful than this, she was in distress because of me but the relief I am getting to destroy all worries and misconceptions is so peaceful in a way I stopped feeling in all these years by clearing them to her.

I hugged her back. "You have my fidelity in this marriage, Vanya. No need to live distancing yourself to me. I can't think of it. I am done pretending I am better off alone, " I said and she nodded in my chest. I rubbed her smooth skin on her back.

"I am done pretending I don't need you" I continued, my breaths are uneven.

"But what if you regret everything with me? You didn't wanted it, you didn't wanted this Marriage before"
