Moksh's P.O.V~
I don't understand what is she doing, but I try to calm her down. "Who granted you to go?" She yells, adding, "Who said you can escape this house?" Abruptly her anger turns her hands into forcing me against the wall.
I'm puzzled by her. And didn't realize what happened or I would've stopped it. Her temper is evident on my neck as her hands grope my throat. "How dare you try to leave me?" What does she mean?
"What-- what are you doing, Kira? Let me go! I'm leaving this house. Isn't that what you wanted?" I defend myself with the same tone she's using.
"Let me go! I can't endure this nonsense anymore. Remove -- your hands away from me." Hastily I cry out in rage, which forces her hands to add further pressure on my throat.
"You're -- hurting me!" I can barely talk under such pressure and unintentionally push her aside, losing my patience. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
I glare at her with everything in me. "You're about to marry Naveen. What the fuck are you doing here?" I include adding enough aggression in my tone.
Even with such offense displayed by me, her face looks under the influence of something else. Did I offend her that much? I can't tell what's going on inside her head, yet I ask. "Tell me, what the fuck are you doing here?"
She's making this face. I can tell, but I try to figure it out. Maybe, she wants to say something but doesn't know how.
"Tell me! What - the - fuck - are you doing here?" She steps back, rubbing her forehead. "I know nothing anymore." Her tone suddenly alters. Into sorrow."
I thought I could let you go! God! I thought I could do it. But --- I couldn't. I couldn't! How can I fall for someone like you?" What does she mean? Why is she revealing all of this right now?
"What -- what do you mean?" I seek. "Naveen, saw us talking. He learned everything when we fought. He heard that you love me. He also heard why I'm marrying him."
"I can't believe I was looking down on him when I am the complication here."
"What are you trying to say? I don't understand!" I just want this conversation to be over soon. Because I know what will the outcome be. She'll say something about her duty and throw me aside. Again.
"He let me go! --- He can't marry someone who's in love with someone else. He declared I'm not bound by the pledge anymore, because it's him who's suspending the marriage."
I can't trust a word she's saying, yet I ask. "Wh--what does that mean?" My resentment turned into oblivion. I ask again, "what -- does that mean, Kira?" Her eyes are not miserable but subdued.
She can't even glance at me properly and sinks to the ground. "What do you --- mean, Kira?" I stoop to my knees, caressing her face. I prefer to hear what I'm thinking. "What -- do you -- mean?" My voice trembles and my heart jitters as she leans on my shoulder.
Kira's P.O.V~
His eyes seek me the same question his tone is asking. He bears me tight, requesting an answer. I feel so regretful to treat this person so crudely. "How can I hurt you like this? How did I do it? When I --- I love you so much."
His words seize in his mouth, his eyes can't accept what I said, yet his arms provide me comfort. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" I couldn't keep my tears back anymore. I sought to neglect my heart. I tried my best to bury these feelings, but I couldn't.
He tears up, watching me mellow in his arms. I can hear his heartbeat, his breaths, and his hushed sobs. Gradually, I cup his cheeks, driving my lips on his. He abides, but he doesn't mean it.
He resists my lips until he can't anymore. I can sense his passion through his lips. I can feel how long he has waited for this. He doesn't want to let go. Neither do I.
"I hate you. I -- hate you." He complains, ultimately dropping into my arms. How dare I treat him that way?
"I know. I know you hate me. I'm sorry." I try, calming both of us down. But the rush of emotions is too heavy to carry.
"You forced me away. You --- you broke my heart. I --- hate you." He sobs and sobs in my arms, strengthening his grasp on my body. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm here. You can hate me for as long as you want until you decide to love me again."
"How can I hate you? You naΓ―ve, rich brat. How can you --- not understand my heart? How dare you? How dare you marry someone else?" He continues, battling me with his tears. I can see he wanted to say all of this to me, for a long time.
"He's right." A familiar voice, breaks in, striding towards us. It's Naveen. "How can you marry someone else, and that, just for a promise?" He looks composed. I've never known someone so contented with their love, embracing someone else.
Moksh contradicts to let go of my arms, still lingering against my chest as Naveen squats down. "I thought I can knot you to me, but, a lie is invariably a lie. And we, together, will always be a lie. Bound by a promise, none of us made.
"I'm as astonished as Moksh is. He peers at Naveen, with disbelief. "But you're not yet free from me," Naveen continues, cupping my cheeks. He swiftly kisses me as Moskh watches. "Now, you're free. With this last kiss, I'm freeing you."
How can a person be like him? He's giving up on a thing he had been wishing for so long. I can never be like him, I realized.
No matter what other people might say. I'm one fortuitous brat, who doesn't cherish people who admire her. But now I will. "Thank you!" I mutter as he leaves us alone.
Moskh's P.O.V~
I loathed it. I despised watching them kiss, even if it was for the last time. I wanted to push him away from her, but as long as I have her, it was okay. And finally, I can have her. Whole.
I deliberately lift my arms, stretching them to her. "He freed you. But won't you tie me with you now?" She smirks with happiness on her face. But quickly her expression shifts.
She smoothly helps me up, gradually pulling me to the bed. I sit on the bed with patience, watching her kiss my hands. Abruptly, she draws out the cuffs, restraining me gently. Our eyes never left each other, which forms everything extremely effective.
She strides back, getting rid of the heavy dress, protecting her perfect curves. Her exposed body is inches away from me yet so far until she decides to grant me closer. I can't wait for her to claim me as hers.
