"How much do you love me?" The corner of his eyes crinkled while his eyes were twinkling with happiness

"Pata nahi." She mumbled, if he wanted to play it then let it be

(I don't know.)

"Yeh kaisa jawab hua?" Now this was his time to furrowed his brows in confusion

(What kind of answer it is?)

"Jaisa apka sawal Tha," and this was her time to be playful

(The kind of question you have asked.)

Her sentence made him startled which made it easy for her to her herself free from him

Getting up from bed she was about to leave when he held her wrist and pulled her to himself

Making her fall on his chest

Struggling to get her wrist free from his grip she looked up at him

"I love you," without thinking twice, not even for once he said

And then get shocked at his own confession

<><><>

The night of February and the rain made the environment around them more beautiful

The lawn showered in rain was breathtaking which he was right now looking at

But he wasn't looking at the lawn's beauty but her

Who wasn't aware of his eyes on her

There was a time when she wanted him and now when he is giving her a chance she refused it

What's going on in her mind?

And why is he bothered with it?

He was giving her chance just for the sake of their friendship and family

And if she doesn't want to work on their marriage then fine by him

He never really wanted a marriage life with her

He told himself many times but his heart disagree with it

He maybe doesn't wanted a marriage life with her but the thought of her leaving made him feel empty

She has left before, then what's new this time?

Maybe because this time she is leaving for ever.

She was lost in rain, arms opened, face up, washing her tears with the falling raindrops on her face

She didn't feel or notice his presence behind her

"Toh tumne waqai mein Jane ka irada Kar liya Hai?" His voice made her startled as she turned behind her

(So you have really made your mind to leave?)

"Kuch mahine pehle, tum mujhse ek chance chahti thi aur ab jab main tumhe woh chance de raha Hoon to tum....."

(Just few months ago you were asking my forgiveness and now when I'm you are......)

"Woh chance tum mujhe Dil se nahi de rahe ho, and I think I have made myself pretty clear why I am leaving,"

(You aren't forgiving me because you want to,)

"I'm leaving for the sake of us." Slowly saying she was about to leave when he held her arm and pulled her to himself

"Agar main kahu ki main Kabhi bhi future mein past ki baatei'n nahi launga tab bhi?"

(And what if I say I won't bring past in future?)
