Rose could feel a huge lump in her throat. She glanced lovingly at Rhehan, who had still covered his face in fear.
She slowly placed her hands on his cold hands and pushed them aside from his face. She wiped his wet face, making Rhehan burst into tears again.
She quickly retraced back her hands from him in surprise.
"Look at me," she said lovingly at Rhehan who had hung his face in shame.
"I can't," he croacked.
"You'll have to," she said, pushing up his chin, so as to straighten his face.
She had a bright smile on her face and she did not have even a single trace of hurt or sadness. This was not something which Rhehan had expected and thus he was now starring at her face in shock.
"Listen to me very carefully now. I had fallen for you the day you saved me and I am glad you love me so much, to confess everything," she said lovingly caressing his face.
Rhehan was dumb-founded at her words and was starring at her wide-eyed.
"Whatever happened back then was not your fault completely. It was obvious for anybody to react like that. What matters the most is how loyal we are to each other now. I know, you love me deeply. The way you take care of me, the way you pamper me is just too cute. I know you are trying your best to make this relation work ! Even if you feel uncomfortable physically, you never ever made me feel that I am the one lacking," she said with a sad smile.
"You are not lacking anything, it's me who is a nut...." he murmered, but was inturrepted by Rose quickly.
"Shhhh...Nobody talks bad about my boyfriend. Not even you," she said angrily.
Rhehan was stunned at her angry yet soothing words. Boyfriend? She isn't breaking up with me? Are we still together?
"I love you too Rhehan and I am not going to walk away from this relation. I know things are a bit awkward considering our physical complications, but we can solve this together. I trust us completely!" she said holding his face lovingly.
Rhehan closed his eyes as if trying to absorb her words. Tears were streaming down his face and he was taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. After a few minutes, he finally mustered some strength to open his eyes.
"I love you too Rose. I can't tell you how greatful I am," he said holding both her hands.
"Greatful? It's ok you can repay me now if you are feeling so indebted," she said wickedly.
"Offcourse, tell me how?" he said with an innocent face.
