Chapter 21: SS 1- Night of memories!

[This was the time when Luna came to confront Austin after he was disowned by his father]

I heard people saying that those men who cry are not worthy of being a man.

But I don't share the same sentiment as them.

Those who hide their emotions from the world and expose them in front of those who they trust are the most genuine men.

Well, I wasn't concerned about others as I don't regard myself as anyone close enough to share their grief.

Neither any friend nor any family member grew closer to the extent where I could draw my real emotions out or lend them shoulder at their worst time.

But that was only until I met him...

The person who was continuously weeping like a child who had been bullied by the neighbour kids and was seeking the warmth of his parent.

How he hugged my body with his face draped over my bosom as he unrestrainedly wailed aloud made me utterly...

Joyous.

It was sad that Austin was in so much pain, but that doesn't help the joy I feel when I see him in such a miserable condition leaning on me completely. It generates an enthralling weird sensation inside me.

Like something was dormant, but after meeting Austin, it has been ignited.

But for this insignificant sensation, would I let my Austin suffer anymore?

Absolutely, no.

After perceiving what he has suffered and watching his current state, I have already formed my resolve that on my watch, I won't let anyone else in this world make my Austin cry.

"You okay now?"

Sensing his cute sniffs, I asked while still patting his back gently. 

'Ah.'

Soon he let go of my embrace, leaving me all alone as  I somehow suppressed my grieving cry.

But what greeted my eyes worked as delightful compensation.

My heart melted at the sight as I imprinted the face of adorable Austin, whose face was covered with tear stains and along with his small red nose; the scene was enough to send shivers down my core and flame my urges to do something shameless.

'Hah...no...I can't...remember Luna..once you do that ...Austin will think you as a cheap woman ...but why is he so cuteeee!!'

With a straight face, I fought my inner demon as I helped Austin wipe the remnants from his face. 

"I am sorry for the unsightly appearance."

Now that's what I love about him. Even in such a condition, he was more concerned about my impression of him.

This was one of the golden qualities which I admire the most, but it also was highly concerning.

"Don't mind about it. You aren't unsightly at all, Austin, so don't hide your face."

I gently placed my hand on his cheek as he was trying to turn himself away in embarrassment. 

Upon my remark, I felt his face growing slightly warm as he ultimately went speechless.

'Fufu...shy Austin isn't bad at all.'

After some more minutes of my delight and console of my precious, Austin asked something as his gaze fell downwards

"Why did you return Luna?"

This was something I had been contemplating myself for some time.

I once thought that if I hadn't seen those memories of Austin and never came to realize what actual situation he was going through, did I would have returned to him after getting betrayed once?

Whenever I thought of this, only one thing came out as a conclusion.

Yes, I would have returned.

I don't love Austin because I sympathize with his past ,nor because I love seeing his pained expression. 

I fell for Austin because of what kind of person he actually is.

The honesty he still nurtures inside him even though he came across only fake people until now who always left his side in the end.

The way he still was optimistic about his situation and was daring enough to move forward even though he practically lost everything in life.

The way he smiles carelessly and feel elated upon small to small things like even the blooming of a flower...

The way he hides his pain...

His caring nature...

His otherworldly adorable smile....

I fell all for it.

Maybe I was rushing things when I say, but at this point in my life, if I could see anyone besides me, the one on whom I could lean on and support wholeheartedly, then it would be none other than this man in front of my eyes.

Smiling, with my eyes filled with the image of my love, I answered his concern.

"I returned because I wanted to trust you."

His gaze, which was fallen with participation, lit up as he stared at me wide-eyed, unable to believe what I had just confessed.

"I know it would sound shady when I say it, but there was a side of me who wanted to maintain trust in you...something which told me that this person could do anything but break someone's heart. I clung to that thought of mine and resolved to confront you. And seeing you like this, I think I choose the right option."

There was no fabrication in my words. I said what I truly believed and wanted to follow to the end of my life. I want to nurture this relationship and let Austin know that there is someone who truly and unconditionally loves him.

Hearing my words, Austin's face and mouth parted as he stared at me in disbelief. 

'Cute.'

"I know it's still not possible to trust my wor-"

"No, I trust you."

Holding my hand, Austin said in a stern tone as he stared at our joint hand, making me startled all of a sudden with his surprise attack.

"You know, Luna, I have bad-mouthed and said countless vulgar things to others as well as you too, but this was my first time betraying someone who put their trust in me."

Hearing his gentle voice while feeling his warmth through a single touch made my heart melt as I heard him continuing.

"The people who have left me never returned, and I also never expected something so too good to be true. But when I saw you, I found my whole world flipping upside down. The person I thought would never look at me again in the same light came back to me with a smiling face. I can't ..."

Due to crying so much, he suddenly choked on his breath and started panting heavily.

"Here. Take it easy."

I gave him water before gently rubbing his back to calm his breathing. Sipping on the bottle, he exhaled heavily as he tried to catch his breathe.

After some pause, he said something which I might not be able to forget even if the world comes to an end or eternity passes with my existence intact.

"You don't know, Luna, how I am feeling right now to talk to you like this, to feel your warmth, to assure myself that there is someone beside me who wouldn't judge me because of my acts but for the real me. I can't tell you, Luna, how important you have become to me, to the point where life without you makes me scared. So please, I beg you, don't ever leave me alone."
