Part: 23

For a second, I forgot everything as he pulled me into his strong and protective arms. I just froze. I never felt so good before. He made every dead cell of my body alive with his touch. I can't describe in words what I'm feeling right now. I just only know one thing that I found heaven on the earth in his arms. This is the feeling of pure bliss. I can hear his soothing heartbeat which is giving immense peace to my soul. I lifted my arms slowly and as I wrapped them around him, he pulled me, even more, closer to himself like he wanted to bury me inside his chest. I really love him. I never felt so peaceful before. He didn't just hug my body, I'm feeling like he hugged my soul into his arms. I found my home in his arms. I smiled contentedly, hugging him tighter and my eyes are closed. I'm completely lost in his heavenly arms.

As soon as I came into his arms, I understood, this is the place where I belong since my birth. This is the place which I'd been searching for all my life. This is my real home, the safest place where I have no fear, no stress, there is only utter peace and solace.

He confessed his genuine feeling, hugging me even tighter, making me feel out of the world. "I had been yearning to feel you in my arms for so long, Princess. It was really worth waiting. Now I don't want anything from god because the whole world is in my arms. Yes, Princess, you're my world. You don't know, I had been craving love for so long. You are the peace of my life. The love which I'm experiencing with you, it's not an ordinary love, it's a soulful love. I really love you, Princess. You're the only peace of my life. I want to keep you safe in my arms forever."

I'm dead. He touched my heart with his true confession. He's absolutely right, it's not an ordinary love, it is really a love of two souls. I just want to freeze the time and want to spend the rest of my life in his protective arms. I never felt so safe and secure before in anybody's arms. I'm overwhelmed with the feeling of utter contentment.

"I love you too, Zain. I was eagerly waiting to experience this type of love. But you know, the feeling is a hundred times more beautiful than my imagination. I can't even explain in words what you're doing to me. Your arms are like my heaven. I'm utterly satisfied with my life after getting you. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to experience the feeling of this soulful love till my last breath. I really, really love you." I too confessed from the core of my heart and smiled contentedly.

He instantly pulled me away from himself by holding my arms. He is grinning at me, his black engaging eyes are shimmering with happiness. I smiled back at him gleefully. I'm happy to see the love of my life happy.

"You know what I'm feeling like to sing the song phela nasha loudly." He chuckled after saying this.

"Really?" I asked instantly, raising my eyebrows in surprise because I was singing this song in the shower before meeting him. He has completely become like me, crazy.

He nodded his head in response, beaming at me. He's really happy. It is like a dream. Everything is so damn beautiful. Life is so beautiful with the person whom you love. Everything is beautiful with him.

"You know before meeting you, I was singing this song in the shower." I told him excitedly and laughed out.

He chuckled. "Let's sing the song together." He suggested.

Wow, great idea. Why not?

"Okay." I smiled at him and he gave me a winsome smile.

"Pehla nasha, Pehla khumaar, Naya pyaar hai naya intezaar, Kar loon main kya apna haal, Aye dil-e-bekaraar, Mere dil-e-bekaraar, Tu hi bata. (First intoxication, first ecstasy... it's a new love, a new wait. What condition I should get myself into,

tell me, O restless heart of mine.)" We started singing the song loudly, crazily and cheerfully. So this happened when two crazy souls fall in love. The craziness and joy become double. I laughed uncontrollably.

I suddenly stopped singing and again stared at him in utter disbelief. Is he really Professor Zain or his Humshakal (Lookalike). I have a doubt.

I just can't believe it. Professor Zain is singing this song loudly with me. I really still can't believe he's my Mr Stranger and the person with whom I'm in love so deeply. I am really feeling like this is a dream and I'm going to wake up at any moment. Everything is so damn beautiful like a beautiful dream.

"What happened?" He suddenly asked, raising his eyebrows, bringing me on the earth back.

"It feels like a dream," I answered him, still gazing at him dubiously.

"It is reality, Princess. Your Mr Stranger is in front of you. I'm in real, in front of your eyes." He gently held my hand with both hand and placed it on the left side of his chest. My heartbeat accelerated as I heard his heartbeat. "My heart is beating for you." He whispered huskily, gazing into my eyes deeply, his eyes are filled with immense love. His heart beats for me and my heart beats for him. "You know when I don't think about you, my heartbeats become restless." He added, leaving my hand.

"But, I never thought that you would be crazy like me. You were so strict and rude. Seeing you like this is unbelievable for me, really. I'm immensely happy to see you like this, but I'm surprised too." I told him whatever is going on in my mind.

"You have made me like this, princess. I was something else before meeting you. You changed me into a completely different person. I know, you're seeing yourself inside me. You won't believe me, I see myself inside you. I really don't feel you're different from me. We are connected. We are not different from each other, Princess, we are one. I really feel like our soul is one, Princess, just our bodies are different." He went in so deep, but whatever he said, it is true. We are two bodies, one soul, we are soulmates.

"By the way, I'm sorry for throwing you out of my class every day in starting. As I told you, I'd been attracted to you since day one and you were making me crazy, that's why I was pushing you away from myself." He apologised, clasping my hands firmly and like always a shiver rushed down my spine with his touch.

"If you were in love with me, why did you always say you want me as your friend only?" I asked, looking at him warily.

"Because I wasn't aware of my feelings in starting. I realised that I love you when you stopped talking to me. I realised how important you're to me, and my peace and happiness lies in you. I thought you wouldn't accept me because I'm your professor, that's why I asked you to be my friend and thought to reveal my identity on the last of college, but when I realised that I love you and you love me. I just couldn't stop myself from confessing my love to you." He cleared my doubt.

"Please, now never hide anything from me." I requested, looking at him with pleading eyes.

"Never, I promise." He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead, promising me that he would never hide anything from me. I closed my eyes and my lips drew up into a blissful smile as his soft lips touched my skin. I felt a sudden urge to feel the touch of his lips on every inch of my body. We smiled at each other merrily, gazing into each other fondly. I'm seeing my future in his intense eyes and he's kissing my soul through his eyes.

My heartbeat accelerated as he moved closer to my face. He asked after coming close to my ear. "Could I have your juicy lips in the dinner?"

My heart almost stopped beating as he whispered in my ear in a husky tone. I widened my eyes in shock after listening to his words. He smirked at me. He's indirectly taking permission to kiss me.

"You know, the dare when I kissed your cheek that day. I was regretting that why didn't I kiss your lips." I told him and flushed, moving my eyelashes down sheepishly.

As I glanced up at him through my eyelashes, I found him, gazing at me intensely, his eyes are filled with immense and true love.

"You're really beautiful, princess. You have no clue that I had been waiting for so long to taste your these perfect lips." He murmured, brushing my lower lip with his thumb erotically, gazing in my eyes fondly and his lips are curved in a salacious smile. I too want to taste his luscious lips. He's just arousing my inner desire, he knows this very well.

"You can't even imagine how I'd been controlling myself for so long. I really just can't wait anymore to taste your alluring crimson lips. They've been captivating me since day one." He whispered huskily, coming closer to my lips and his gaze is fixed at me. My heartbeat is racing and my breath is becoming heavy because of our proximity. He is driving me crazy and hypnotising me.

He is lessening the gap between our lips slowly, making me excited. "Only I have right on your soft lips. These lips are just made for me." He whispered against my lips, moving his eyes down to my lips from my eyes, taking my breath away from me. I closed my eyes mechanically as his warm breath caressed my lips. Now I badly want him to kiss me. "I'm intoxicated by you." He whispered before putting his lips over mine.

As our lips caressed against each other, I felt like my soul came out of my body to kiss his soul.
