I felt my heart tightening. It was muffled, but I was almost sure that was what I thought. I felt my own tears running down my cheeks, hearing him crying. He took a deep breath and then finally started speaking in such a low tone that I was having a hard time listening to his words even after FULL volume. His voice sounded so broken, and I was sure that his situation was no different.

“Seno…I don’t know what to say because I have already told you everything…. and even though you promised to stay by my side, you left me in the first moment after knowing the truth….. I won’t blame you, though, because a part of me already knew that you would do something like that. I know you’re thinking that I should take care of my brother’s girlfriend and their baby, but I can’t do that even after knowing that she is the REASON because of why you can’t be MINE….. And no matter how hard you try to push me toward her…you can’t force me to do those things which I don’t want to…you can’t force me to love her if I don’t. You can’t make my heart feel something it won’t. Because Senorita, I have always loved you and will always love you. You didn’t even remember, but when we were kids, we had enrolled in an annual school debate competition. I was so sure that I would win; after all, no one was as good as me but…but I was wrong. I was so wrong. A smart girl beat me in the competition. And from that moment, I loved that smart girl.”

I gasped hearing that!

Oh my god! That incidence was of 3rd standard or 4th standard.

That was the first and last time I had won any competition because, after that, Klaus made sure to fix his position in first place permanently.

“If you want to punish me for playing games with you, then punish me, Seno!… Maybe I should have done it in or other something… I’m so sorry. I knew I should have shared this before starting anything between us, but if I wouldn’t have done so, then you wouldn’t have pushed me away from you from the beginning, and I didn’t want that to happen. I couldn’t decipher what was the right thing to do when it came to you, Seno…I wanted you, and I wanted to protect you. In fact, I want to protect you even now because you’re the most important thing to me. I love you, Senorita, I love you. Currently, I don’t have any plan to cope with this situation but…but I’m sure I will figure out something. That marriage, that girl, and that baby mean nothing to me, Seno!. They are nothing and will never be anything. You’re the only one in my mind; you have been the only one forever. I…I need you. Please don’t leave me. I need you. I really need you, Seno….”

He took a deep breath, and I did the same, not holding my tears back anymore. But there was more; Klaus’s voice came in a whisper again.

“You.. you aren’t my dirty secret, Seno…and will never be. I’m so so sorry for making you feel like that way…I don’t want to lose you again, Seno! I can’t. I don’t know how long it will take, but…I just hope that one day we will be together…but just don’t give up on us, please. I…Can we talk again? I don’t know how to convince you; God knows why I think of myself as smart and intelligent because this stupid brain is not at all working. I think that’s the effect of spending time with Albert.”

I couldn’t help but laugh between my tears when he said that.

“I lose my last piece of sanity if you will leave me, Seno! Damn it, just a mere thought of that is killing me inside. I…I can’t take it. I need you. I miss you, and I love you so much…I don’t know why I’m recording all this thing because a part of me is telling me that you will delete this recording, but a part of me is also positive that you will hear it. If you are hearing this, then I want you to know that I love you. I love you so much, Falak Singh Rathore, My Senorita!”

I burst into tears, listening to his voice whispering the last sentence again and again.

After a while, I heard a slight knock on the door. I quickly wiped the tears and walked toward the door to see who was here this late?

‘Dad?’ I got confused, seeing him at her door, that too at this moment. I tried to look presentable, but I knew that my face and eyes were going to tell him all the truth. I opened the door and saw a worried look on his face.

“What happened, Princess?”, He asked, touching my face.

I bit my inner cheek not to cry in front of me, but a lone tear escaped from my eyes.

He wiped my tear and hugged me softly. That was it! My tears overflowed from my eyes which I was trying to control in front of him.

“Ssshhh, Bachha!”, He caressed my back. I didn’t know how long I cried, but when I opened my eyes, I was welcomed with a severe headache. I hissed in pain and blinked for a while to adjust my eyes as per light. It took me a while to recall what had happened last night, and then I quickly open eyes only to find dad sitting on the chair in his fresh clothes and was reading a magazine. He was already ready. Even though he was not on duty, he was still punctual to the time.

“Good Morning, Princess”

“Good Morning, Dad,” I greeted him back and mentally slapped myself for sleeping this late. But maybe it could be the effect of heavy medicines which I was taking.

“Freshen up quickly. I have to talk with you.”, Though he said these words with a smile on his face but he was quite serious. I nodded my head and left the bed.

After half an hour! I sat on the chair beside dad and had my breakfast which he had ordered for me.

“Now, tell me, what’s going on?”, He asked calmly after I had had my medicines. I remained silent for a while, playing with my fingers, but he kept his index finger on my chin and made me look at him. “I’m waiting, Baccha!”

“Umm…you won’t be mad at me, will you?” I asked softly.

“I won’t.”, He assured me and squeezed my hand. I gave him a weak smile and then narrated everything to him from the beginning of my life to the end. I knew I was a crying mess by the end of the conversation, but just like Dr. White had said, I could feel that I was not feeling the same pain that I had felt while I had talked about it with Dr. White.

Did this mean I was healing?

“What do you want to do now?”, He asked the question which I wanted to ask him because I couldn’t think straight.

“I don’t know.”

“Of course you now. And if you are in doubt, then flip a coin, not because it decides for you….

“… but for the moment, it’s in the air; you realize what you’re hoping for.” I completed the sentence which he wanted to complete. “I…I want to be with Klaus, but I want to snatch that girl’s happiness with her.”

“But before deciding that if you will have to find out whether Klaus is her happiness or NOT. Because just like you mentioned, this was a forced marriage even for her.”, He said and wiped my tears.

“And what about the biggest problem of HIS life! That NICOLAS JUAN DIEGO? He said that he would kill me if….”

“Do you think that anyone can even touch you when your father, brothers, and sisters are by your side?”, He asked, cutting me in between. “Don’t think about that, Nicolas or Ticolas! Your family can take care of him.”

“But dad, he is the leader of the Australian Mafia. He can kill any one of us and might hurt our close ones.”

“Do you see any type of tension or stress on my face?” he asked, on which I shook my head. “Because I don’t have any. So, don’t worry about anything.”

“Okay! If you say so.” I reluctantly agreed with him. “Dad…. umm… I want to meet him before leaving from here.”

“What I can say on it?”

“Umm, how about ‘Come soon after meeting him’?” I asked and found him grinning.

I dialed Klaus’s number, but it was switched off. He must have broken his phone. Then I dialed Maria’s number, and from her, I came to know that Klaus was in home town, i. e., in Sydney. I knew the only person who could help me in reaching him at this moment.

Jacob.
