From Hell To Heaven
Chapter 17: 17
Akash POV
***********
Today evening I went into my house only to find it empty. Because my angel is not with me anymore, without her its like living hell.
"Akash, come and have some snacks" Shanthi maa called.
"No maa, I am not hungry "I tried to leave but maa stopped me.
"Akash, I know you regret your action. I know you better than yourself, so tell me exactly what is your problem?" She asked me.
"I know that you need someone to talk to at this time, especially you need your mom" maa paused.
"But you can talk to me. If you consider me as your maa, tell me son. We are friends, right? Just like we are when you were a kid. You can tell your friend anything" I gulped down the pain in my throat and blinked twice.
"Maa, there is something pricking me but I don't know how to express my feelings. I want Dharani maa, I am so confused" I finally said it out.
"I want to see those gorgeous big doe eyes and hear that angelic voice. I tried a lot to forget her, but she is like living inside me, like she is part of me. I can't forget her. I missed the care she used to show me, the way she woke me up everyday and makes amazing breakfast for me. I miss her maa, her handmade food, her voice. I miss her so much Maa. I don't know what this feeling is. Even you also not talking to me nicely. I knew I deserved it! For what I did to Dharani, I deserve more than that, but I can't stop these feelings. I can't stop" Maa just sat there silently, listening to me carefully.
"What is this feeling maa? I don't know. Please answer me, why I am feeling like this? Answer me maa please help your son" I cried hugging her.
"Akash, you fall in love with Dharani" I gasped. The ground under my feet shaken.
What? Love? No, I don't love her.
"No Maa, I am not in love with Dha" but maa cut me off.
"Yes, you love her son, but you don't want to accept it"
"Akash, answer these questions correctly" I looked up at her again, curious about what she was going to ask.
"Do you care for Dharani?"
"Yes, I care for her, extremely" I answered honestly.
"Ok, so do you want to spend your whole life with your angel?", she asked.
"Of course maa, I want to" I said. I so badly want her in my arms now!
"Do you trust her?" I immediately nodded my head, yes. She smiled at me.
"See you care for her, you want to live your whole life with her and you trust her. This is called love Akash. Accept it beta, You fall in love with your wife" maa said with a smile.
I know that my heart flutters whenever I think of Dharani, I like when I hold her hand. I love when I hold her tightly in my arms. I feel like I'm in heaven when she's with me. I want to feel that way till I die. I never want to let her go.I love being in her arms.
God, I am in LOVE. I love my wife! I LOVE DHARANI, I LOVE MY ANGEL.
My eyes widened at my own realization. I love her, I loved her all this while. I stood up from the chair and maa looked at me confused.
"Maa, I love you so much! Thank you!" I said hugging her and giving a kiss on her cheek. Maa laughed and hugged me back.
"God bless you son. I want to see your smile always" maa said and blessed me keeping her hands on my head. I smiled at her.
"Maa, I need to go. Bye!" I left the living room taking my car keys from the table. I walked quickly to my car with a smile on my face.
