When Louis just nodded his head as a response, still busy in his computer, Diana hesitantly asked, "What did you mean yesterday by telling me that what would I do if the girl you have a liking on is none other than me??"
Louis' head jerked up towards her, hearing her question. He saw the hopefulness in her eyes and said, "What if whatever I had said yesterday is all true? What if you are really the person whom I really like?"
As soon as the words escaped from Louis' mouth, Diana looked at him with pure shock. She never imagined that he'd be so blunt to say this without even blinking for once.
She thought of him to change the topic or to say that he was just cracking a joke last night but he had just other plans...
More like his own plans..!!!!!
Actually, she was not sad about the fact that Louis had accepted his feelings. Instead she was really happy but there was a 'what if' in his statement which was really scaring her now.
In the past few weeks, Diana had already been habituated with Louis' different kinds of jokes. That's why she was thinking what if he had cracked a joke about it too...
But deep inside her heart, she didn't want this to be a joke as somewhere inside her heart, she had also started to plant a little seed of feeling which had already grew into a liking for Louis..
Now she was just waiting for it to bloom into a flower of love. However, she was still scared because of her past as she was unsure about the fact that, if there was really any guy who could accept her with all of her flaws.
Diana knew that Louis was a great guy. She even met his parents in Lucy's engagement party and they were equally good. They gave her a protective feeling of parents' Love..
But still her mind was not ready to accept the matter that she could be able to ever find true love in this life as she had already been lost the belief from the word Love...
However, after seeing the three couples, her heart again started to have trust on the God and his beautiful creation of love..
And now she was feeling the initial sensation of falling in love in the very depth of her heart which was getting bigger for Louis everyday.
Louis noticed that Diana was already drowning in her own dreamland as she was just looking at a distance where was hardly anything particular to observe...
He slowly shook her and asked, "Diana…are you there??"
Diana finally came out of her trance and blinked her eyes few times before licking her lips lightly and replied, "Yeah… I'm here.."
This single action looked both cute alluring to Louis as he just kept staring at her with a soft smile on his face.
Sighing deeply, he held her palm, making Diana more shocked with the sudden touch but she didn't protest anything.
Louis squeezed her hand said, "Diana…whatever I'm going to say now, you're going to listen to it carefully. If you want to make any remark then please do it after I'm done with my talking...
Because if you by chance interrupt me in the middle, I may not gain the courage again about what I'm going to say right now."
Diana nodded her head meekly and said, "I promise.."
Louis smiled at her a little and finally taking a last deep breath he started, "Diana.. It may look like some kind of cliche romantic movie but trust me it's absolutely real. The day I first met you at Fusion…I already started having some tickling effect in my stomach and heart...
I really didn't know that time what exactly it was called. But the more time I started to spend with you, the effects continued to grow more on me. Then one day, I came to know that you're Vero's friend and the one who betrayed her five years ago.."
Diana was about to say something, when Louis interrupted her, "Let me complete first.. But later, I came to know that you were equally a victim also. The torture you had to go through in the past was really making my blood boil in anger. I just wanted to kill that bastard Frank…
And then I questioned myself why I'm behaving like a maniac after hearing your part of story. If it was another girl in place of you, I'd definitely help her to fight for her right but instead of that…I'm getting extreme pain as if my heart was getting beaten by some large hammer. Then I realised what I exactly feel for you...
Trust me Diana… It is not some kind of sympathy game for you. I really like you and this liking has started to go deeper and deeper by each passing day that I fear that it won't be long when I'll be completely in the pool of love with you.."
Diana's eyes had started to get wet in tears as she was successful to obtain the sincerity in his words.
His truthful and most heartfelt confession had really melted her heart and her inner turmoil of getting a true love be in future had finally vanished away...
She just kept looking at Louis who started to get anxious after noticing Diana's tears which had already started falling on her cheeks.
Whereas Diana actually wanted to say many things to Louis. She also wanted to confess her feelings for him but she wasn't able to…
The resistance she had made in her heart for every person had already been broken by Louis in a mere second and she started to chock with her tears...
Louis hurriedly brought the glass from her table and placed it front of Diana's mouth so that she could drink some water.
Sipping the water with the help of Louis, Diana took a deep breath and looked directly into his eyes but what she had said next, had successfully shattered the tiny hope in his heart like some broken glasses..
"I don't love you Louis…"
