She stepped backwards slowly with him engrossed in the moment they were sharing. This was not the first time. But this was different. After accepting mutual love and making each other feel their racing heartbeats are indeed beautiful things to do.

Zain slowly pulled away from the kiss but still lingered around her lips. Aditi yearned for more while he teased her playfully. He enjoyed to see her desperate and shivering to get him. She yanked his collar and pulled him towards her smashing their lips yet again. Zain smiled through the kiss and a tear found its way down his cheeks which trickled on to Aditi's shoulder. She slowly pulled back and sucked in the next teardrop flowing freely down his eyes. He sniffed back his tears and let out a hearty laugh. May be the most genuine laugh she has heard and witnessed. She touched his nose with hers and played with it until he pecked her chin.

Zain: Aditi...

Aditi: Hmmm...

Zain: You are the best thing that has happened to me..

Aditi: May be you have not yet realised how much perfect you are. I don't even know what to say..how to express myself...

Zain(placed his finger on her lips):
Need not. Your words today will constantly ring in my ears for the rest of my life. That was more than enough. I know it has taken all your courage to do that.

Aditi smiled her most heartwarming smile and hugged him placing her head on his chest. Her fingers slowly opened the rest of the buttons of his shirt.

Zain: What are you doing Adi?

Aditi: I want to listen clearly.

Zain(confused): Listen to what?

Aditi placed her index finger on his left chest tapping there.

Aditi: Your heartbeats. They have always raced up when you used to be with me. I have always ignored it. But today... Today I want to hear it.. listen to it.. feel it..

Zain(smiled): Why?

Aditi: Because I know these heart beats increase its pace only for me..

Zain(felt contended but hid it): Cheesy you are Adi. Meri beemari tumhe kaise lag gayi? (How did my disease catch you?)

Aditi(smiled): Zain..

Zain: Yeah baby..

Aditi: Wo.. I want to disclose something to you.

Zain(raised his head and looked at her): Tell me..

Aditi: You already know that I am way too broken for a love relationship. Mentally, I am yet to recover from all those trauma. Many people have asked me that why is it so difficult for me to get rid of my past. Afterall, its just a break up. You also might have had this question.

Zain: Have you ever felt that I have such a query in my mind?

Aditi: No Zain. Its not that. I mean.. Its not just that. I have been through much.. still I ignored everything hoping to live my life with him. That could be my biggest mistake..
I.. I mean.. I may not be as beautiful as you think.. You will get much prettier ..sorted out girls..

Zain(inched closer): Aditi.. Haven't I told you not to think like this?

Aditi: Zain. Let me complete. I may not be.. I mean.. How will I explain...I mean..

Zain noticed Aditi sweating badly, fidgeting with her fingers, fumbling for words... Nervous..Scared?
That was not HER.

Zain: Adi.. Calm down and speak up. I am listening. See.. I am here..

Aditi: Wo..Main.. (That..I...)

After a minute she took his hands to hers and placed on her waist standing up.

Aditi: I am saying.. I am not beautiful... Physically..

Zain: What do you mean baby?

Aditi dimmed the rooms lights only to the required intensity. She bolted the door and stood in front of him.

Aditi: I need you to see something.

She unzipped her top from behind causing it to slide over her shoulders. Before it could expose her assets, Zain caught hold of it and looked at her with fierce eyes.

Zain: ADITI..Whats up with you?

Aditi: Please Zain. I need to do this.

Aditi removed her top in a flick and lifted her left arm to expose the area beside her breasts near to her underarms. There was a mark in a dead blood blue color as if she has been hit with some hard object. The slightly burnt scar over it could be clearly seen.

Zain(eyes watered): Adi.. Yeh.. (This)

Aditi's eyes started brimming with tears non stop. She started unbuttoning her jeans and suddenly Zain covered her with a bedsheet. She thanked him mentally and removed her jeans. She lifted the bedsheet and showed him a severly burnt mark on her right inner thigh.  She pointed at many more such scars on her body and one at her right leg knee which he had already seen but ignored thinking of it as a normal wound.

Zain: Ye sab kya hai...I mean..kaise?
(Whats all these and how?)

Aditi: Amit.. He is BF's best friend. He attacked me with a burning hot metal iron when I slapped him for misbehaving with one of our neighbour girls. He was always under the effect of drugs. BF doesn't know anything about it till date.

Zain's blood boiled in anger and he slammed his fists on the table loudly.

Zain: Why didn't you tell him?

Aditi: I don't know. I never had the courage to tell him. I never let him touch me. I didn't want him to know about it. Amit always fills his mind with dirty thoughts. Even if I tell BF about this, I don't think he would believe me.

Zain(filled with rage): Where is this Amit now?

Aditi: Somewhere abroad. I don't know if he remembers doing such a thing or not.

Zain: Adi.. tum.. (You)

Aditi(in mild sobs): He has just attacked me. He has not done anything else. I am still pure..virgin.. I am not lying.

Zain(felt shocked): I didn't ask you that!

Aditi: People generally tend to believe so. Thats why I could never share it with anyone. I don't know why I told you..

Zain: Aditi. You have been through immense torture and pain out of which none is your fault. Even after all these, you still raise your voice and react against all odds. That shows how strong you are. What on earth makes you think that you are not beautiful?

Aditi: Zain.. I love you. At some point of time, when we take this relationship to a next level, you will feel bad seeing a scarred body in your arms. Won't you feel disgusted? Won't you feel betrayed? Won't you regret?

Zain: I am in love with you as a human and a soul. Not your flesh and bones. Kya samajhke rakha hai mujhe? (What have you thought of me?)

Aditi: Aisa nahi hai Zain (Its not that Zain). Every one dreams pretty life partners. And..

Zain: And you are the prettiest I have ever seen Adi..

Aditi(with an innocent teary face): Even now?

Zain stepped forward and kissed softly on her lips.

Zain: Forever would be a small word for my love. How can I make you understand.. I fucking love you damn!

Aditi giggled and sniffed away her tears. She completely forgot about her clothings and hugged hin tightly. The bedsheet slided off from between them making her soft skin stick to his broad chest. He covered them both with that single bedsheet and looked at her intently. She suddenly realised their proximity and glanced at him.

His one hand slid away to her inner thigh and squeezed her there. She moaned loudly taking his name in her panting breath.

Zain: Aaj se tumhara har ghaav bhi mera hua.. (From today, all your wounds are mine). I will cure you from all your pain.

He kissed the wound near to her under arm and blew air over it. She threw her head back in desire arching her milky white frame drowning in emotions. She placed an open mouthed wet kiss down his earlobes and continued down his jawline.
Zain slowly knelt on front of her and hugged her lovingly.

Aditi: Zain...

Zain shot up and sealed her with his ever so charming kiss.

Zain: I won't ever forgive that bastard for doing this. Ek din mere haath ayega wo (I will get him one day).

And you...

Never ever doubt on yourself again..

Heard me? Soon to be Mrs.Zain Imam?

Aditi(smiled with happy tears): Yes baby..

Zain: Haaye! Why so much happiness today...!!

Aditi: So officially...

AdiZa: Its AdiZa!
