With All of My Heart

5.

Here outside the Mrittika's house, each and everyone is cursing her.

Want to know? Why?...

I'll tell you...

As today, there is the wedding of her neighbour's daughter who lived infront of her house, so they yesterday told Mrittika's parents to make sure that she can not be seen outside her house. In order to avoid cursings and atocrities, she avoids any outside work. But mistakenly, the bride sees Mrittika who was sitting near the window thinking about Veer, the person which is stirring her heart. She was so restless that she didn't even sleep yesterday's night. And in her restlessness she forgets about the warning that everyone gave her. The bride told everyone that Mrittika did this on purpose so something bad happens in her marriage. She told that Mrittika didn't have good intentions and for taking revenge she sat near the window even after their warnings. So her parents along with neighbours are cursing her. Her parents and other family members standing silently infront of their house gate leaving Mrittika on her own who has tears in her eyes thinking that it will also pass soon.

Everyone is silent when things are limited with Mrittika. But her mother lost her control along with her brother, cousin sister and grandmother as soon they start speaking about them.

In her anger, her mother slapped her hard not once but many times till her cheeks became dark red showing  slap marks clearly. That's when Mrittika lost her control and start sobbing hardly. Her sobs are like nothing in front of the hate they have for her, the thinking they hold for her.

All of this is witnessed by Veer and his team. All team members are having tears  in their eyes. They are still unable to understand how can people think so low about someone. How can people stoop so low. When they all are busy in thinking these, a loud voice echoed which sounds like roaring bringing them back from their trance..

"Enough now.." Veer roared making people scare and stop them from what they are doing.

"Enough is enough now.. if you all dare to say a single word.. I'll make you all regret on your birth"as these words left from Veer's mouth everyone became even more scared. Veer quickly goes where Mrittika was sitting and scoop her in a bear hug his tears are mixing with her tears.

"You cheap people how dare you say anything to her, about her. First see yourself then talk about her."said Veer.

"Don't teach us..what do you know...Who are you to her.. who are you say anything"a middle age angrily said but his words are ignored by Veer.

Mrittika is still in his arms ignoring everything. She didn't understand why her heart is frantically drumming in her heart from the first time she saw him. His next words broke her trance.

"Mrittika I came to know everything. I know you don't like it. But I want to tell you what you did for us, what you did to me. You don't believe it, yesterday your help was like a blessing to us. You're the sole reason for our mission's victory. That's why today I want to thank you. But don't misunderstand me as this is not the only reason I want to see you. Umm.. how I say I don't know.  I'm not good in telling my feelings but plz try to understand that yesterday when you saved me from falling in pit, when I first saw you.. I lost my heart to you..Till morning I was unable to understand this feeling surely.. but now I'm sure that I LOVE YOU MRITTIKA..I LOVE YOU..YOU KNOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE MADE ME RESTLESS..SO RESTLESS THAT I'M NOT ABLE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING.. YOUR TEARS ARE GIVING ME SO MUCH PAIN THAT I WANT TO BURN EVERYTHING. I WANT TO SAY WITH ALL OF MY HEART THAT I LOVE YOU..WILL YOU TRUST ME WITH YOURSELF SO THAT I CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN AND GIVE YOU HAPPINESS?? WILL YOU MARRY ME."Said Veer holding Mrittika in his arms who is carefully listening his each and every word.

Veer is eagerly waiting for her answer but seeing her tears his heart sank which doesn't get unnoticed by her. She quickly cupped his face and took a deep breath and Said"With All My Heart I Do..I Do.. I'm not saying this because of what happened..but I'm saying it because I also feel the same for you." Veer kissed her forehead lovingly and seeing this a smile takes place on his team's face and they start hooting cheerfully making Mrittika shy and hiding her face in Veer's chest.
