He got still and broke the hug and looked towards her..as if not believing she herself asked this …

He didn’t knew what to say and started stuttering…-“I..I..I..Kshitija…” to which she kept her finger on his lips  and said-“shhh…. Enough….. this time I want to confess something ..”

He looked confused with her words but his widened when she further said- “ I love you Mayank..not as a best friend but as a man.. even if you don’t reciprocate my feelings..its fine with me I will still love you..even if you love someone else.. I will still keep loving you… I won’t come in between your love story … but I also couldn’t keep myself from confessing my feelings.. I couldn’t pretend anymore that we are still just best friends..when I have loved you for years now.. I really love you Mayank… I really do… “ and a tear left her eyes finally.

Hearing her confession ,he felt butterflies in his stomach and he was too happy that he was dancing in his mind but still he was too paralyzed from confession and didn’t utter a word.

On seeing this she smiled and thought that he had rejected her and turned and was about to leave when he came out of shock and quickly held her hands and pulled her back to his chest.
