I Marked Her Mine - Chapter 117
“Who is Saaransh to you? What are you hiding from me? What actually happened in India?” without taking a breath, Aksar rent out.
Okay, Shanaya needed to accept her brother was no longer a small child.
Not that he would ever grow up for her.
“Why do you think I am hiding something or something is wrong with me or happened wrong in India?” shrugging, Shanaya questioned him but continued” As for Saaransh, he is my friend!.”
“Seriously!? Sissy, you really think I am still a child who do not know the looks of a man toward his love or crush? Or when two people look at each other with awkwardness?”
Shanaya kept quiet, for she too knew Aksar was right and she had to tell him someday.
Chewing her lips, Shanaya looked nervously at him, for she was not sure of his reactions.
He may be her younger brother, but he was a brother who had always thought of him as an elder brother of her and had made sure to act in that way. .
Clearing her throat, she started speaking when she saw Aksar expecting answers from her” You remember the guy I met on Fb when I was in college?”
“Yesss..the same guy who was your first love, right?” nodding his neck and looking at her all curiously, Aksar spoke as if he knew what was coming next.
“Umm,” playing with her fingers, ignoring ‘first love’ even though it made her heart all churned up, she cleared her throat once again and continued” I met him a year before when I went to India to attend Avni dee’s wedding.”
“Oh!” furrowing and surprised at the same time, Aksar continued all curious” And? How did you meet him? What happened?”
Shanaya did not know if to stop or continue, but, she knew she would be betraying her brother if she did not tell him at the moment.
And, thus, she chooses to tell him everything.
“He is Vansh’s cousin.”
“What!!” surprised, Aksar yelled out.
“I had no idea!! We never talked about him and, even if they had done it, I never listened to it for I never paid attention to hearing other males name.”
Closing his eyes, Aksar knew the gravity of the situation very well. Meeting your first love, that too when you had no idea would have been so hard for her and, he hated her for keeping it to herself.
“You should have told me, sissy.” looking at her, Aksar took her hand as a gesture of understanding her and continued” So, did they knew about you?” What happened?”
“None of them, except both of us knew about us. I did not know how to react when I saw Vihaan standing at the stairs of the Mansion as if he owns it.”
“My world spun in a second, and I could see nothing. My eyes were open but blurred. I was standing there, but I was not! I felt my legs giving up my weight, my heart on the brink of breaking, and, I could feel pain in my sternum along with my heart.”
“I could not breathe, I heard no words Vansh, Avni dee and others spoke to me, I could only see the man responsible for my ruin, my heartbreak, my everything.”
“But, the man who was my love too. He looked so handsome, attractive, powerful standing there and I just wanted to have him in my life, again.”
“I could see my past taunting me, my determination of never being weak again in front of him swaying, my heart and mind remembering all the things he had done to hurt me and I could not welcome him in my life, again.”
“I saw him looking at me with shock, not with the happiness of seeing me in reality, and I just knew one thing at that moment. I have to be away from him and, telling everyone about us was not going to let that happen.”
“And?” interrupting her for the first time, Aksar questioned. He wanted to give her all the time she needed.
“I showed no sign of knowing him even though I wanted to touch him, wanted to see him, wanted to know how it feels to know and see your first love. I have imagined meeting him in real life, but that was not one of the scenarios.”
“I wanted him to be happy, surprised not shocked if we were ever to meet coincidentally, but that was not the case.”
“He seemed to have understood I was not going to tell anyone about us, for he too did not, and we never talked about it. But, then” looking at Aksar for the first time, Shanaya felt her heart beating knowing she was going to tell him something important, she continued” we got close and, before I knew, I was in love with him, again.”
“Oh!” Aksar did nothing to hide the amazement in his voice. But, he could feel the vibration in his heart.
He was feeling too much of everything to know the exact feeling of his. He had no idea if he was angry on Vihaan, curious about both of them, happy for her sister to find her love and sad to see them breaking further away.
“But that jerk!” anger surfacing in her tone, Shanaya spoke angrily” He spoiled it all by telling about us to everyone, even when I plead him not to just because I did not listen to his bloody order!!”
“I swear it, Aksar” eyes full of hatred, Shanaya spoke the last words” I will never forgive him. I will hate him forever for doing it.”
