*Dileep Pov*

"You what?" She asked, stepping back leaning a little on the wall with shock and disbelief covering her face.

"I know this is a shock to hear, but it is really true." I replied, thinking her expression is justifiable because a few minutes back I didn't think of saying those words at all.

I just thought of asking her for a real date and start dating her along with making her girlfriend. When she introduced me as her boyfriend to her tutor, it felt more than good, but I just got surprised.

Then to know there is some guy whom she admires more and is close I felt like ripping his head. When she was having success, and I was behind, but not with her, I felt like I am losing so much.

I know all these can be felt only when she is in my heart, but I didn't know for sure whether what I am feeling is the same or something else.

However, knowing that she just has to leave me for a few weeks and will be with Tanmai, I felt fear which I never felt. I felt like I am losing my everything and will wish for her stay beside me every minute.

I never missed even my parents when I chose to move out, but still go there to stay for my mother but not for myself. Now, knowing how it feels with her away, I just blurted out the words which were in my heart.

"You should stop joking, Dileep." Her words brought me out of my thoughts, and I saw that she is now composed.

"It is more than the truth, Amrin. Do you really think I will joke about something like that?" I asked her.

"I don't know about that now do I? Just stand up right now." She replied and I immediately did before taking a step towards her while she took one back getting herself blocked between me and the wall.

"I am not joking, Amrin. I really love you, and I will even prove that to you." I said, placing the bouquet and the box aside before holding her face.

"No! Even if you feel like you do, it will not last." She said shaking her head.

"What do you mean?" I asked her frowning.

"You said yourself that love will go away soon, and it will not stay forever. Whatever you are feeling will also go away." She replied, brushing her tears away while I felt like I just got slapped.

"Now I understand how much I have hurt you." I said, placing my forehead to hers.

"I trust your words, Dileep. So, I think you should forget about all this." She said trying to move away, but I didn't let her.

"I know it is because of me, you don't believe it. I will do anything to prove it to you that I fell for you." I said, hoping she will not brush me away like me.

"What will you do to prove it to me?" She asked clutching my shirt.

"I will date you properly and will become your actual boyfriend. I will be romantic and will whisper the words of love every time I get a chance. I will even learn to cook. There are still more. Will they work?" I asked, pushing her hair back.

"I don't know!" She whispered and added, "You did most of those things except cooking and the whispering of the words of love."

"Then I will give you one thing which you want." I said after a few minutes.

"What is it?" She asked, snuggling into my hold.

"You can leave me, Amrin. You want to move away from me that day, but I didn't let you. Now I am letting you leave and do anything with your life." I replied, and she stilled while my hands tightened around her.
