Chapter 50 - I will work hard for our love. (1/2)

Lifen blinked her eyes, trying get through his words. He cupped her cheeks and lifted it a little to make her comfortable. ”You are someone really special to me. Do you get that? You can't be like them, you are not allowed to. And you can'tbe with anyone else, always stay by my side. Let me be your black knight”.

She was holding a blank expression all this while. Was he confessing his feelings? If yes, then what should I do? Why am I feeling butterflies when he his gazing me like this? Have I fallen for him?

Deming was pretending to be nonchalant with her blank expression but deep down inside him a tide was racing harshly. He was forcing himself to not make his inner feeling obvious but it didn't take too long when he lost all his control, ”Don't torture me. Speak something. Your silence is shredding me into pieces. I can't handle your blank expression when I am expecting you to acknowledge my true feelings for you”.

His eyes were getting dull with every passing moment as if he is losing all his hope. Seeing this, Lifen's eyes was gaining its softness. Her feelings were now presenting a clear picture for each an every confusion which was developing inside her.

She can't see him like this, losing all his hopes. His eyes are made to shine not to get dull. Her heart was aching looking at him like this, because he was someone who has somehow gotten close to her heart. Seeing him in pain is something that she can't afford to.

When he saw that she is not responding to him, his hand left her face, his eyes were dull implicating that he has lost in something very important to him. He slowly turned his back and wanted to walk away but felt something warm tugging to him behind.

Her hands had unexpectedly come to wrap around him from behind. He can feel her face pressing against his back and something warm dampening his shirt, ”I won't leave you. I will always be on your side. Don't be angry anymore”.

He instantly held her hands which were wrapped around him and turned around to look at her. He placed her hands gently on his chest and wrapped his around her waist , ”Really? Can you promise me?”.

She nodded instantly without giving any second thought, ”I won't promise you but I can assure you that I will always work hard for our love and won't leave you until and unless I have lost all my hopes”. Her eyes were brimming with positive energy as if nothing could stop her.

He ignored all the words she had uttered now and only concentrated on one phrase, 'for our love'. His eyes shone bright than the afternoon sun. His lips curled up and his eyes rejected the urge to blink, he stared deeply into his eyes.

She blinked her eyes in confusion, ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Can you say that again?”, he urged like a child urging to get a candy. His eyes full of innocence.

She gave in to his this innocent request. ”I will not leave you”, she said without being hesitant.

He shook his head, ”Not this one, the one which you have said after that”.

”I will always be by your side”.
