No matter how many times I tell myself  that I can ignore that one Person, but deep down I know that this is not how it's supposed to End.

Akira's pov

Next day, i was the one who woke up first but before I open my eyes, I felt soft tingles on my neck....like a warm blow....and I heard a melody of Lub-Dub...or was it Dhak-Dhak!

Wait, it is some heart beats I am listening to. I opened my eyes and saw a face snuggled towards my neck and that figure had his strong grip on my waist.

RATHORE!!!!!
What do I do with this Man!!!
Iski to Himmat Badti hi ja Rahi hai!!!

Then I glanced at his sleeping self and for the very first time I felt his face this close to me...and my mind registered, he is really very Handsome and has well sculpted and defined features...with a perfect jawline. I could feel his hard chest pressed on my sides. He did work out a lot it seemed!

And then I remembered how this stubborn strong headed husband of mine had dared to propose me in front of all. He didn't think of anyone but spoke his heart out! He was so free with his words and His eyes held such genuineness that I was melting right there, with each word he spoke.

How easily he accepted that i had filled the emptiness of their Hearts with my Love and Care!

My breath was hitched when he had bend down on his knee and took out a Diamond ring and spoke -

I want to thank you Mrs. Akira Vikram Rathore for Listening to me without judgements, Speaking without prejudices, and helping me in the darkest of days and understanding me without any pretension and finally, for adopted Me and my Princesses without any conditions!

I know, ours is not the most conventional marriages and we could not be each other's firsts, But now that I have you, I want to become your last!

So, will you give me the privilege of becoming your Last, Mrs. Rathore?

I was cherishing How beautifully this man had said those words and after hearing his confession I was in tears. Nobody had ever spoken to me like that. I was never a priority in my first marriage.

So Of course, I had to say yes to him in that very moment and I did!
And that new name, "Mrs. Akira Vikram Rathore" sounded like silk!

It did weird things to my stomach but of course I was too stubborn to fall for it!

I don't know what is there in this man that I can't seem to ignore him! My thoughts were interrupted by a sexy husky low voice -

I didn't know, my wife found me so good looking that she is lost in her thoughts!
Better Take a Picture wife! It will last forever! - he smirked

Well, that is true...i mean he has definitely got good looks but why should I give him the satisfaction!

So i spoke - Oh Please! I was not lost in your looks...dont give so much importance to yourself...besides, if you held me like this, how am I suppose to get up!

Wow! Can this morning be any more embarrassing!?!

He looked at our position and quickly sat straight like a good five year old boy.

I... I am sorry! - he said

I just hummed and went to finish my morning routines and he headed to kid's room to wake them up.

I finished my shower and wore a casual pista green floor length kurta with matching flared pants.

I quickly did a little touch up and went down stairs to greet Tayi maa sa who looked so graceful in her cream color cotton bandhani saree.

I asked - Tayi ma, what should I make for breakfast? Usually, at our place we eat North Indian recipes.

She patted my shoulder and said - Akira, Don't Worry! I know, it's all new for you... So I had asked the Cook to prepare Poha and stuffed parathas for today...You can ask any other dish you like or may be Vidit likes something particular...he will prepare that.
I just want you to prepare a sweet Dish as it is your first day in your Kitchen.

I nodded and said - Alright Tayi maa sa! I will prepare Chocolate Brownies for kids and Kheer(rice pudding) for us!

Oh! I can't wait! You know how to make those? I like those Brownies a lot! Smriti and Kiyara used to get me those! - she replied like a child and I smiled

Soon, kids came along with their father clad in a three piece Armani suit. He really carried himself like a royal.

Kiyara and Vidit jumped up and down looking at their Brownies and Tayi maa sa was no less.

I served them the sweets after we had finished our breakfast.

Vidit said - Mumma, your brownies are the best in the whole world!

Kiyara too spoke - Yes mumma, you are the best!

Vikram smiled at me and Tayi maa sa gave me a box and I was confused.

She said - Akira, this is your reward for making such amazing Brownies!

And she said - And Vikram, you better give her something worth her efforts!

He nodded and went somewhere and I lowered my eyes. I was still not comfortable with him giving me this special Attention.

He came back with a velvet box and gave it to me and gestured me to open it. His eyes had those proud sparkles.

It was a Royal brooch just like him but an elegant female piece of jewels of course and it looked really beautiful.

He spoke - It's my mother's! And Now, it's yours!

I... I.... I am sorry, but I can't take this! - I hesitated

I could feel the disappointment and frustration in his dark orbs. But I chose to ignore.

You Don't like it? - asked Tayi maa sa

No, I...It's Beautiful! But its Royal and I... I don't think I deserve it! It too much! - I said

Vikram gritter his teeth and spoke - Listen, Keep it with you or throw it away...its Fine by me!

And he stormed out of the house!

I sat there defeated.

Tayi maa said - This Brooch belonged to his mother. I know Akira, your past is holding you back to trust back any man. But Vikram is different and if he didn't think that you deserve it...he wouldn't have even given it to you, even for glancing.
He was so happy to give it to you But you just hurt him.?
I know you are hurt but you don't know the amount of pain he has been through!
First, his parents were killed in front of his own eyes. He has always been deprived of parents love. That time my husband was also not supportive of me do I couldn't do much for both of them. But still, He became mother and father for his baby sister.
But fate always played cruel with him and that's when that evil Witch ruined him.
Even today with all this property he is running a trust to help the needful. He is in search for selfless Love and Care!
All He wants from you is some acceptance!
And I know, you are capable of loving him. But Please don't hurt him more than he already is!
He might be acting strong and happy in your presence but he is brutally broken and beyond your imagination. With that she left the dinning area and her words brought tears in my eyes.

And i felt guilty for rejecting his gift.

So, I decided to talk to him once he comes back as I have to drop the kids to school and go to my studio.

The entire day was so hectic as I joined back the studio after a long break. There were many orders lined up and I couldn't find time to pick up kids. So, I had asked Tayi maa to arrange a driver for them.

It was around 5 in the evening that I hit free and I reached the mansion.

Both Kiyara and Visit were playing with Tayi maa and she looked tired.

I scooped both the kids in a hug and they giggled.

I asked them what they wanted to eat?

They both shouted - Lasagna!!!!

And I laughed.
I quickly prepared the Lasagna and put it in the oven to bake and went to shower.

It's already 8 pm and Vikram isn't home yet. I was waiting for him as I wanted to apologize.

Kids were already tired so I tucked them in their beds.
Tayi maa was watching some daily soap and I was looking impatiently towards the entry.

That's when I heard his car honk. He is home and my heart started to beat faster. I don't know how am I going to talk to him. But I have to apologize to him.

He entered the hallway looking tired and his messy hair explained his carelessness yet my eyes found him attractive!

Holy Shit! I am doomed!

I walked slowly towards him but he ignored and walked away!

Sigh!!!! He is mad at me!
Guess, it's going to be a Long Night!
