Part 26

Flashback

Year 2010

"Why you keep wearing these sunglasses always. Ever since I have come with you I have seen you very less without glasses that too for fleeting seconds." Sai asked from Virat. They were sitting on the beach and watching the sunset.

"People say eyes are the mirror of soul. I don't like to show my vulnerabilities and fears or even other emotions to anyone." Virat replied without looking at her.

"Not even to the people you love?" Sai asked and waited for his answer but he didn't say anything.

Its been five days since he brought Sai from the bar. Sai thought he would be interested in making physical relations with her but time and over again she had been proved wrong as in these five days as he hadn't even touched her.

Sai lived in the duplex bunglow provided by him and he kept coming there whenever he felt like, there was no fix time. Sometimes, he would just talk with her about random topics, sometimes he takes her for a long drive or outing, like today he brought her to the beach to watch sunset with her. Sometimes he watched his favorite movies with her in the bunglow. He had asked did she know cooking. When she had replied in yes since then he always messages her before coming home to make food for him and they have been having their lunch and dinner mostly together now.

Its been not even a week and Sai knew him more than anyone else as she has been with him to all the places which were important to him, from where his good and bad memories were associated like his school, coffee and sandwich joint where he sat with his friends, the juvenile jail building, the place where his dad and sister died. He was weird. Normal man would take the girl they like to dinner dates and beautiful places but he always took her to the place related to his past.

At first, Sai was uncomfortable to go with him to such places...places which held personal importance, places what made him what he is today, places which held so many memories. Why anyone would take a stranger to such places with him? Then it dawned upon her, he wants her to know all about him, see him what he really is, bare it all whether good or bad about his life...but why? Sai wondered and he gave answer to her question when he removed his glasses and kept them in the pocket. He looked her without charades of glasses for the longest time. The intensity in his eyes scared her. They were screaming of his love for her. There was so much love in them and together were his vulnerabilities, fears, insecurities. His eyes were beautiful, shade of deep black. Just few moments ago she had asked him would he like to hide his emotions from the people he loves and here is he, baring it all in front of her. Sai thought he was just being dramatic when he had said that he fell in love at first sight with her but looks like he really did love her.

Sai came out of thoughts when he spoke up. "Come, lets go." He said and stood up.

He gave his hand to her and she held it for support. "Where are we going? Sai asked but didn't get any answer.

Soon his car stopped in front of a chawl. They came out of the car and Sai noticed as soon as he entered the chawl many people, children, elders surrounded him. Sai wouldn't have believed if she haven't seen it with her own eyes. Ruthless don Virat Chavan was not less than a messiah to these people. They absolutely loved him. Apparently, he had been helping the poor here and had arranged for the jobs of many. Many people who worked in his gang also came from this chawl, that's why they were so loyal to him.

Virat took Sai to his house in the chawl. "This is the most dearest place to me, reminds me of my mom, dad and sister. It holds most beautiful memories of my childhood and the pain of losing my mom. This place has witnessed how a normal boy turned into a dangerous don. I come here when I feel extremely low or happy. I have shared everything with this place. I wanted this place to witness one more important moment of my life.

"Whats that?" Sai asked absent mindedly as she looked around the small one room kitchen house.

Virat started saying whats in his heart. "I wanted to confess my love to you. I know I have said it before also but I wanted to do it here. Here, it feels like my family's blessings are with me. I know, Sai, you might be apprehensive about this whole thing. I mean any girl would be, its just been few days since we met and we also had a rough start but still...you know, there is something about you which pulls me towards you, which tells me that you are the one for me. And I want you to believe that I am not lying. I am not fooling around, I have no intension to cheat you or make it a temporary thing like most people do it these days. I want you to be my forever."

Sai was looking at him nervously. She somehow knew he was saying truth. She knew he loved her and she believed it. She also knew that he would soon say it again but she was surprised that she felt butterflies in her stomach again when he said it, just like the first time.

Virat took a deep breath before saying those three magical words. "So, here it is, I love you Sai. I really have fallen deeply for you. I don't know how but I just have."

Sai just stayed silent not knowing what she should say, how she should be reacting.

He broke her chain of thoughts again. "Please don't stay quiet. I need an answer, jaan. Its ok if you cant decide now, I mean there is no hurry, I will wait. But please at least say something now."

Among all his words, Sai could only process one word, Jaan. He called her Jaan, his jaan, his life? Is she really that important to him? Nobody ever made her feel this way.

For few seconds Sai was silent. While Virat was being impatient to hear her voice, Sai didn't know what she should say? Did she love him? In all these days she had come to realize that Virat Chavan was definitely much more than just the don Virat. She was not afraid of him anymore. She even had good conversations with him. She liked doing things for him, specially, cooking. She liked his company. She missed him whenever he is not with her. Though he had bought her but he was the only man who treated her with respect she deserved. There is something in him which attracts her to him. She never felt loved, secure and important since very long and he makes her feel that way when he is with her.

Realization dawned upon her, shocking her out of her wits. "Holy f**k! I do love him. But how this can be possible? In such short span of time? I feel like I am losing my mind." She wondered.

Virat urged her again. "Jaan, just say something."

And it was her undoing, hearing Jaan again from his mouth while his eyes, full of love, held her captive. She decided to throw logic, reasoning, rationality and everything else out of window and just accept what her heart wanted right in this moment.

 Virat felt like he was waiting since eternity to hear her voice. Sai finally took mercy on him. She smiled but tears rolled down her eyes too.

"I love you too. I love you, Virat." Sai replied when Virat was almost about to give up hope.

They looked in each other's eyes. Sai again saw all his emotions in his eyes, his eyes were beautiful, melancholic but beautiful. She used to wonder what it will be to see happiness in them and she got her answer today. His eyes were shining with happiness. He looked even more handsome like this.

While she was busy reading his eyes he closed the distanced between their lips. He cupped her face and placed his lips on hers. Sai closed her eyes and responded to him ever so softly. This was the first kiss of their love and it was sans any lust. It was purest gesture between them to mark the beginning of their journey together.
