Chapter 275 274. I Love You.
"Mnmh~" Isha's mind had completely blanked after she pulled Eshwar into a kiss.
She just pulled him with the plans of giving him a peck kiss to show him how much she missed him, but after she initiated it, it was over. When she pushed him back at the beginning, he pulled her closer by her waist before kissing her so passionately that her mind blanked; she didn't snap out of it until she was out of breath and was now struggling to breathe as he kissed her, only giving her time to take a single puff of breath before kissing her again.
"Mmhff~" Tears welled up in her eyes from being kissed so intensely; of course, she liked every bit of it, and just when she got hooked on a certain intoxicating taste, Eshwar broke the kiss and stared at her tear-filled eyes.
"It's your fault. I did tell you that I was doing my best to hold back." And he blamed her, making her even more flustered when she remembered he had indeed warned her.
"I missed y.... Mmphf!!?" Eshwar was about to say he missed her, and though she felt warm when she heard it, she cut him off by pulling him into another kiss. This time, she wrapped her arms around his head and hugged him tightly because she was afraid that he would go away again.
Isha pushed him back with her hands on his shoulders, stared at him in the eyes before tears streamed out of her eyes, looked down as if she didn't want him to see her crying, and said, "Please....please, don't leave me behind." She bit her lower lip and said while sobbing.
"I....I-I'll get stronger, so plea... Mmphf." Eshwar painfully pulled her by her wrists, forced her to stare at him as he pulled her by her chin, glared at her because she had started to plead with him while trembling, and kissed her without giving her a chance to speak anymore.
"Mmhnm~" Isha noticed Eshwar trembling as he hugged her. Soon, something salty tasted in her mouth, and when she opened her eyes to see what it was, she froze when she noticed tears streaming out of Eshwar's eyes.
"Ah..." He bit the corner of her lower lip, then gently pushed her back, looked at her in the eyes, clenched his teeth, and bowed his head at her.
"I'm sorry. I am sorry for acting selfishly, and I promise to take you with me for everything from now on, with the exception of just once, one last time." Eshwar promised her, and since she knew that he wouldn't break a promise, she believed him.
"When is this one time?" Isha asked after wiping off her tears and his.
"Soon." He replied with a gentle smile. Since she knew that he wouldn't give her an answer even if she asked him more, she swallowed back her other questions.
"I missed.... No, no, wait." Eshwar was about to say he missed her again but stopped himself with a face that had just attained enlightenment.
WHOOMM
A pair of pitch-black wings materialised from his back, but unlike Isha's feathered wings, his were bat-like and massive. 10 FOOT WIDE, they were 10 foot wide when completely opened. Feeling challenged by his wings, Isha opened hers and flapped.
WHOOOOMMM
FLUTTER
"Beautiful...." Eshwar mumbled, gazing at her 8-foot-wide pitch-black feathered wings; satisfied by his reaction, she smiled brightly, and when he noticed that smile on her face, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ahem." Eshwar cleared his throat and waved his right hand gracefully.
"Haaa...." He abruptly halted, sighed and glanced back over his wing. Isha frowned at his actions and used a divine pulse from her foot, and she noticed a few elves flying up to them with great difficulty.
"Let's get out of here; I have something important to talk about." Eshwar said he floated towards her with a playful smile on his face, ran his index and middle fingers along her waist, which earned him a small giggle, hugged her with his hands around her waist, and slightly looked up at her eyes.
"This is why I wanted to be tall, you know?" Eshwar asked, grumbling.
"Hahahaha." Isha chuckled at his words, but her body stiffened when he pulled her even closer.
"E-Eshwar?" Isha blushed violently when she felt something up her thigh and glanced down at him, noticing him enjoying himself from the softness of her body.
"Ignore that for now." Eshwar said.
'What do you mean? How could I ignore that!! And what do you mean "for now"?!!!' Isha yelped inwardly but was unable to voice them.
"Hahaha." Eshwar chuckled and flapped his wide bat wings once.
And by the next instance, the bright view in Isha's sight changed into a darker shade. She glanced up and noticed they were flying up at an extremely fast rate with a greyish translucent slipstream of some unknown power that she knew was Eshwar's. Soon, as they seemed to reach space, Isha looked around in confusion and curiosity, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
And he only stopped when they were right below the Earth's atmosphere, created a greyish translucent barrier that covered both of them in a single shell, and pulled her by her chin, making her look in his eyes; he then abruptly kissed her passionately yet lightly.
"Domain of Vigilance." Eshwar mumbled with his lips touching hers. Since she knew that it was his command to initiate his consciousness domain, she didn't resist the pull and blur of her consciousness and closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she found Eshwar staring at her with his long ears blushing bright red.
"Huuu...." Eshwar exhaled deeply and opened both of his arms wide. Thinking he was asking her for a hug, Isha took a step forward, but
WHOOOOMMM
Hundreds of Earths manifested behind Eshwar, spinning in their own respective directions, and then they abruptly shot out towards Isha, who stared at them without even flinching.
And within a matter of few seconds, hundreds of Earths spun behind Isha. Eshwar then waved his right arm, and hundreds of screens manifested, coiling around her, and she noticed that both she and Eshwar were smiling brightly in all the screens, but in different scenarios. Walking around while holding each other's hands in some, sleeping in some, cuddling in some, eating food in some, kissing above clouds in some, playing around with a kid that looks beautifully similar to Isha in some, Isha being pregnant in some, crying in some, laughing in some—many different scenarios of a normal human couple's life ran on the screens in front of her. Every single scene she saw warmed her heart; a few made her tear up, and some made her giggle, but every single moment of it was beautiful, and she enjoyed every second of it.
Soon, the screens moved to the sides, revealing Eshwar, who stood in front of her with beautiful red roses in his hands, staring at Isha with a slight blush.
"I love you, Isha." Eshwar proposed, knelt on one knee, and glanced up at Isha's tear-filled eyes.
"I promise that our lives will be filled with the moments you just saw. I will do my best to keep you happy as long as I exist, I...." Eshwar spoke out his heartfelt words, and Isha could feel them. She knew that everything in here was his imagination, so she believed that their lives would be exactly like what he had shown here, and he would do his best to make sure of it. Though she knew that he loved her with all his heart, being proposed to like this was...just... she had absolutely no words to describe how precious everything felt to her, but Eshwar wasn't done yet.
"I... want you, Isha. I know that is very selfish of me, but I need you. I love you." He said while looking down, but then he took a deep breath and looked up at her crying.
"Will you marry me?" Eshwar asked.
"Really?" Isha said after taking a deep breath.
"Yes." Eshwar said without a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"I-I am very stubborn, you know? You may not know this, but once mine, it'll always be mine, no matter what." Isha said, staring at him in the eyes. Eshwar only smiled in response, but Isha understood what his smile meant even without him saying it: "Do your worst."
'Of course, he would mean that; there is no way, somebody else who is more obsessive than him exists.' Isha muttered in her mind.
"Really?" Isha asked again.
"Yes." Eshwar replied again, and Isha walked towards him as black roses popped out with each step she took. Of course, even though it felt over the top, she didn't mind it, and once she was near him, she kneeled in front of him, stared at him in the eyes, and took the red roses from his hands.
"Yes." Isha agreed and kissed him. She poured everything she learned from his kiss just a few moments ago into the kiss and kissed him as passionately as she could, but still failed when Eshwar kissed her back.
"You still have a long way to go~" Eshwar broke the kiss, whispered on her lips, and
"I love you." He said so and kissed her again.
