Meerub looked at him shocked by his sudden outburst. His hot breath was fanning on her face, he pulled her more closer leaving no space between them and held her hair from her back very softly as his hands can't hurt her. He released his hold from her arm and placed his hand on her waist softly

"I love you Meerub. I... I feared rejection but still, I tried to confess. When you interrupted then I thought to tease you that's it, my love. I have no one else in my life. Don't cry Meerub. You are very strong and beautiful inside and out. You are my Meerub. You were right, you always shine wherever you go. My Meerub always shine. Am I yours? Do you consider me your love?", Murtasim asked in a husky voice without breaking eye contact with her. His cold hand made its way from her hair to her eyes and he wiped her tears softly like she will break if he pressed her hard. He thinks that she is very soft and sensitive.

He caressed her cheek softly and waited for her answer, now his eyes also glistened thinking about her mean words and fearing insult from her again. He closed his eyes tightly to control his tears and once he got the power he looked at her again who was staring at him silently. He caressed her hair softly to calm her as he knows everything is new to her and she need time to adjust with him.

"I'm waiting Meerub. Please don't reject me. At least give me hope that I can win you", Murtasim requested and looked down feeling many emotions building inside his heart. He is feeling very nervous now because Meerub is going to reply. He felt relaxed when Meerub didn't push him when he held her in his arms. He thought she will push him hard for touching her, maybe she feels comfortable around him

"How to tell you that you are becoming the person who I can trust the most Murtasim? I don't trust my family anymore now but I trust you now", Meerub thought and looked down thinking about his word love. She doesn't love him and she needs to confess as well that he is not her love but an important part of her life

"I don't love you Murtasim", Meerub whispered looking down. Murtasim felt a pang inside his heart when Meerub told this and he pulled his hand back which was holding her. He thought why he is touching her when she doesn't like him? He felt that he was making her feel uncomfortable and touched a pure soul. He felt like he was molesting her, his heart felt that. He got the feeling that he is a criminal.

Now it was Murtasim time to look down with tears in his eyes. This rejection looked too heartbreaking to him which he never felt before. He pulled his fingers into a fist getting angry at him set for not taking her permission

"I... It's ok. I'm sorry for... For touching you uncomfortably ", Murtasim said and turned his face aside to hide his tears from Meerub. Meerub shooked her head and placed her hand on his arm. She could have hugged him if had the courage. She want to scream and tell that his touch was never uncomfortable

"Y... Your touch was never uncomfortable Murtasim and ... You... You have the right to hold me", Meerub fumbled with her words because she is nervous about how he would react. All these things are happening for the first time in her life and she doesn't know how to react and behave accordingly. She knows what is the relationship between a husband and a wife but she is nervous to open the walls of her heart open. She is very scared to fall in love. She went in front of him and noticed him looking at the ground. She held his face in her hands and forced him to face her

"You are the best person I met here Murtasim. I swear your touch never looked uncomfortable to me. Only you can touch me not anyone else", Meerub told and held his hand in hers. Taking this as a chance Murtasim immediately intertwined their fingers together and from the other hand he pulled her towards himself again. Meerub flinched with his sudden action and look into his eyes to see a pool of love for her which made her nervous. How he would react when she will say, she is all ready to give herself to him? And what he will do?

Murtasim inched closer and noticed that Meerub closed her eyes in reflex. After knowing that she gives him the right, he is on cloud 9. Her breath suddenly got uneven and she held his shirt tightly in fear that Murtasim will kiss her as their lips were inches apart.

"Still tell me whenever you feel uncomfortable. I promise I will stop", Murtasim said and kissed her forehead and let his lips linger on her forehead for some time and then stepped back to see her flushed face. He noticed her blushing and felt proud of himself to make her blush.

"You are so nice and we... can begin with friendship", Meerub asked as she felt that they need to start their relationship now and have to accept each other. Especially her. And the only way to know him is to become his friend

"Ok Begin from wherever you want to but this journey should end with us. Only us. Because I love you and I will give myself to only one girl. That is you", Murtasim told looking into her eyes straight confessing the truth which took Meerub's heart. She felt butterflies in her stomach hearing him and imagined what if she also fell in love. Again one question disturbed her. He is so nice and handsome, he can get many girls crazy for him. Then why he is crazy for a girl who always disrespects him and keeps her behaviour stiff towards him?

"Why me? I never gave you hope. Haya is mad for you and I'm sure every girl who you will love will love you back. You are so sweet", Meerub questioned confusion. Murtasim smiled and rubbed his hand on her arm with love

"Because you are my wife Meerub. I respect this relationship the most. This bond is so pure and the most important point is that I love you. I can never accept anyone else in your place Meerub ", Murtasim said looking into her eyes lovingly and holding her hand, he brought her hand towards his lips but Meerub took her hand back and turned her face aside as she felt nervous. She felt her cheeks heating up suddenly and closed her eyes feeling bliss.

"A day will come when you will scream and tell others that I am just yours and you are just mine", Murtasim said in a husky voice going close towards her. He stood behind her, his hands urging him to pull her into a back hug but he controlled himself as he want to move slowly.

"I'm not a toy Murtasim who is just yours ", Meerub said and turned to see him just behind her. She flinched in fear and then looked into his eyes feeling herself safe

"I never considered you the one. I respect you and your happiness is my happiness, your success is my success, your respect is my respect then can't I call you mine? A part of me?", Murtasim asked clearing her confusion why he calls her his.

"I can't understand these typical lines ", Meerub said and left from there blushing hard because of his words. His words gave her unknown peace and satisfaction. She would have not believed it if someone else told her that he is not cheating on her but she believes him because she have seen him always making distance from girls, especially Haya.

Meerub came inside the hall lost in Murtasim's thoughts. Day by day she is falling for him and his unconditional love. She knows soon she will love him just like him. It is hard to accept but she can't see him with someone else. Her heart burns when Haya comes and holds him. She feels insecure what if Murtasim leave her and marries Haya? What is his love decreases?

"Looking beautiful Meerub ", someone said, Meerub smiled thinking it to me Murtasim and whispered his name softly

"Murtasim you are also looking very handsome and...", Meerub stopped in the middle realising that the person in front of her is not Murtasim but Rohail

"Rohail", Meerub called his name and covered herself with the saree properly as she can't let anyone see her like Murtasim was seeing her. She draped the saree for him only, not anyone else
