“I had some rules too, Mr. Ferdinan .”
“What?”
“You should never stop me from my college, or anything related to my life decisions. I will follow all your rules for that you should follow me. You should never say no to my any request. You should behave like a good boyfriend. “She told him.
“Are you sure!! Only entry, you can’t exit until one year, I mean 10months,” He asked one last time. She stepped in as a token of her acceptance.
“I don’t love, I just make out” He warned her.
She gulped her fear inside and faked a smile. Playing with fire God give me some strength to face this devil.” She prayed silently.
“Kiss me!!” He said in his dominating tone.
She starred in horror with her little brown eyes.
“Why are you looking like that? Can’t you do what I asked!!” He chuckled with a smirk.
“Hmm, I expected you to ask something beyond, but you just asked this small thing,” She said with a smile shocking him.
“Really!! ”
“On my bed in just 1 minute.” He said while walking upstairs.
She followed him obediently. But she is nervous about her decision. As she walked in he closed the door.
“Unbutton my shirt please.” He said while placing his hands behind him.
She took little steps and her shivering hands started unbuttoning his shirt one by one.
“You’re sweating for this only.” He asked with a cocky smile.
She glared at him in anger but controlled herself and removed his shirt without hurting his injury. He grabbed the shirt and placed it on the couch.
“Sit!” She sat on edge of the bed silently.
He crawled towards her and placed his hand in her lap, resting himself on the bed. This sudden gesture shocked her. She remained silent. He gently took her hand from the bed and placed it beside his heart.
“Mia, I don’t know why you changed your mind, but I will say a few things.”
“Hmm, say!” She whispered while brushing his hair on his forehead.
“Whatever you said was right!! I forced you for my selfishness but later I realized that I can give anything but not your virginity. I can’t disappoint you. You have your dreams and I don’t have a right to destroy your happiness. So, I left you. It’s hard for me!! even now, I seriously want you but not on the cost of sacrifice or force. I don’t want any regret in my life. Think again, I can give anything for getting you, but I can only compensate a little and I can’t return what you give me.” He confessed his hidden thoughts.
“What you will do if I go now, will you be happy!” She asked in her deep voice.
“It’s none of your consent!!” He barked while getting up from her lap.
“Hmm, then why you saved me...? Ok leave it, answer me if something happened that night would you have same feelings what you had today!!” She roared out.
“Nothing would happen!!” He cuts off.
“How can you be so sure!! If you are late by 2 mins something would happen, right??”
“I was around you Mia and I was stalking your every move.” He spilled the bean, making her shock.
“What!!!”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t get over you so daily I’m stalking you that night I just waiting in my car to see how far you can fight and whom you will call in that situation. That’s really hard to stay away at that moment, but in seconds you called me, and I came running for you. I promised you right I will protect you and I did the same.” He confessed her.
“Why can’t you get over me!!” She asked in confusion.
“I don’t know, so I made this contract at least by that I can get over you but all flop... But why you called me first!” He questioned her.
“Hmm, I felt you can save me,” She whispered.
“Do you trust me?” He asked
“Yes, by that incident I trust you totally now,” She confessed.
“Thanks for that, but you don’t need to adjust for me!!”
“I’m not adjusting, I’m paying back your favor of that bullet. After one year you go your way, I will go mine. Even I’m in my final year. If our feelings are mutual, we can think about the future.” She concluded.
“Are you same the Mia talking like this!!” He asked doubtfully.
“I don’t know you before, but I came to know you from last few days. It’s just a deal like you wanted always!! I can’t repay your pain so I’m giving an equivalent one, i.e., my dignity.”
“Can you be happy by this!!” He asked straight looking into her eyes.
“It depends on the way you treat me and why you’re thinking so much about my happiness? Do you have any feeling beyond lust??” She asked with a smile.
He was silent all the while his mind started thinking,” Yes, Why I’m changing like this!!! Why I’m caring for her beyond myself!! I just need my thing and she wants to give, and it’s not free Enzo you faced so much pain. For that pain, you can gain some profit. Oh God, I’m really lucky you saved me from death, and in return, you gave such a sexy gift. God, you’re there!!” He smirked inside happily.
“Mad man!!” She scolded him.
“Yep, I’m mad before but now I got bad to my mode. It’s a pleasure that you accepted my deal and trust me, you gonna enjoy every bit of this,” He assured while sealing her forehead with a kiss.
He leaned down to her lips to sealing them in a passionate kiss, but she stopped him.
“What baby?” He asked in his low tone.
“Hmm, First recover later you can do anything, and I want to go to the temple now, so you take rest.” She said while getting up from the bed.
“Temple because!!! And I’m fine totally,” He asked with a pout.
“You promised that you will let me do anything I want and that thing just two weeks. In between, I should get totally comfortable, and we should know each other.” She convinced him and he nodded like an obedient kid.
“Shall I accompany you to the temple!!” He asked with hope.
“What!! You and temple!!′ She yelled in shock.
“Yeah, I will come anywhere if you’re with me!!” He said with a smile. Both left to the temple. (Mia is an Indian)
Mia pov,
This was a decision I took for the first time I felt wrong but still want to do it. Will you ever forgive me, mom!! Enzo did a lot of wrong things with me, but inside he is good. He is selfish because of the people around him made him so, but he turned selfless for me. Even in the arms of death, he wanted my happiness and my reputation. I have seen his lust always, but from that moment I saw his love only mom. He didn’t realize it. If I leave him like this, he will be an alcoholic and spoil his life. The doctor told me if he drinks more he can’t survive. If I leave now, he will die. I can’t let him die. I also want him happy, so I took this decision. I want to keep him on the right track of life by that he can live happily and spread happiness. I know, it’s the wrong idea to get into relation without marriage, but I promise he is the first and last person in my life. But I’m scared of my decision, just stay with me all the way. Don’t let me fall, maa!! Please stay with me.

She fell on her knees crying. Meanwhile, Enzo came in after parking the car. She wiped her tears and got on her feet. The priest came in and smiled towards Mia, as he knows her from the past two years.
“What’s your name?” The priest asked to perform prayer.
“Enzo Ferdinan and Mia!!” Enzo said with a smile.
“Are you from India!!” He asked Enzo with a smile.
“Yep, we are Indian,” He said.
“That’s great to know, Are you married!!” The priest asked them with a smile. Mia gulped lumps by hearing the question.
“Yes, she is my wife,” Enzo said instantly.
“You didn’t tell me?” Priest asked Mia.
“We we...” She gulped words as it’s first time lying.
“We just got married 2months ago.” Enzo responded and held her hand as an assurance.
“May God bless you!!” The priest got sindoor and forwarded towards them after performing puja.
“Why you’re not wearing sindoor?” He asked casually.
Mia turned towards Enzo in horror.
“You may not wear outside but in temple premises, you should wear it give long life for your husband!!” The priest said and forwarded it to Enzo gesturing him to do it. Enzo took a pinch of sindoor and filled her hairline.
She closed her eyes in acceptance and a tear of happiness flipped down her eyes.
“Oh god, I cried thinking as wrong but you’re making it correct by making him do all this for me.” She felt blessed.
“Bless us to stay together forever”
