Part 13

"Your feelings mean a lot to me, Vrinda, and don't ever let anything convince you otherwise. But I..I think there's a lot you need to know before I can tell my answer, Vrinda. I am sorry," he replied, his eyes averted from her in regret and he knew that his true emotions would not stay hidden from the one inciting them if he continued to look at her.

"But what if I want to know only your answer, Vihaan? I can't change my past anyways but I want you to be my future and your answer pertains to that. Why can't you answer?" she demanded, pulling him to face her.

"Because I know your past, Vrinda. It would kill me from within to keep you in the dark. After learning the past completely, whatever you ask from me, I promise I will give it to you. But I want you to take the decision after knowing the truth completely. Please, for my sake," pleaded Vivaan, the potent brew of elixir of love and venom of pain swirling in his eyes conveying everything that was left unsaid by his words.
