Love your whole story..even if it is not perfect....even if you are alone...and even it hasn't been a perfect fairytale.

Akira's pov

While we were going home....with Mr Rathore.....my son....decided to eat an ice cream!
This boy...i tell you....he can be stubborn at times!
I glared at him to stop him with his tantrums....but he had made up his mind!

Daddy! Look there is an ice cream uncle! Can I please have one! I promise I will brush my teeth....he whined
Mr Rathore exchanged looks with me....and chuckled looking at my glaring face....and said in a low tone....come'on Akira....its just an ice cream....and my son is asking something for the first time....how can I say no to such a cutie....my mouth just went open...!
He is going to spoil vidit!

So, We had icecream!
He said he was missing Kiyara....and I felt guilty....because of me and vidit....he was stuck here....so i hurried up....and he dropped us at our apartment and Vidit dozed off in the car itself. I took him in my arms.... Mr Rathore offered his help but I denied.... Saying.... He was getting late... To which he nodded and left... Before I reached the building, I heard him...

See you tomorrow Akira, at my office!

I turned and nodded! I saw his car reversed and he left.

I had to agree... He is helping me....going out of the way... I can atleast help him with the work that I was good at.

I don't want to be burdened by his goodness!

Next day...since I woke up quite early and preapared the breakfast for everyone... You see.... I like to cook and I hardly get time.

After a little chit chat I left to drop vidit to his school... And then I reached the Rathore building.
She reached the reception and asked the lady - Hi! I am here to meet Mr Rathore! Can you please inform him... He knows I was coming...!
The lady had seen her yesterday so she called in his secretary and then after sometime she confirmed and escorted her to meet Vikram in his cabin.

You can go in ma'am....Akira nodded and
Knocked lightly... And heard a curt come in.
Is he in  a bad mood, today!

Anyways, I went inside his cabin and all his employees that I met last day were rushing....and may be cursing a certain someone....i refrained myself from smiling when I heard him yell -
Why are you late! You know I hate those who waste my time.... Is this...Why I am ready to pay you so high! Had it not been for Kartik... I would have thrown you right away.....Without a blink!

What is he talking about and where is he!

Excuse me!?! - I said amused by his change of behavior

And there....for the record.... For the first time, my heart fluttered....and my stomach did a somersault!

Mr Rathore stood there....with his head high....anger visible on his narrowed perfect black eyebrows....In a casual floral print shirt....with the sleeves rolled up.... Showing his tight arms....a rolex was shinning on his wrist...making him look a proud owner! He had a dominating sexy aura around him! Sexy!!! Really!!!
What to do, He was looking like an angry Greek God!
Stupid heart! Just stop with your ogling... And speak up you idiot before he notice your dizzy heart!

Both of us came out of our trans...i came out of my heart race and he looked as if....he came out of his world...or may be come out of his shock...Looking at me...????

He was whispering....OMG! It's..... I.... Sorry.... You....!!!!!

I stopped my stupid heart to melt in his aura....and I said a low - Hello Mr Rathore!
Did I disturb you!?

He innocently scratched his neck and said - I am sorry Ms singh! I thought... It was someone else.... Sorry... I..

It's ok Mr Rathore! - I said

Oh! Where are my manners...Please come in... Have a seat.. I didn't know that You would come... This early.... I mean... You didn't have to...!

Mr Rathore, Relax! I was free this morning... So I thought it's better if I quickly finish the work here.... I hope you don't mind! - I said

Not at all! In fact I should be thankful to you! - he said

I nodded and then I went to his team and they updated me with the progress.
I briefed them....and opened my laptop to  show them the arrangements that could be suitable for the production of the Fabric. All this while I could feel his constant gaze on me..... He was very different when he was in his working mode....not to forget he had almost caged me in my seat.... Both of his hands....unknowingly were placed on either sides of my chair...and he was looking at my laptop....But his proximity was making me nervous for the first time... Since we met.
I ignored those feelings and concentrated on explaining the placements and motifs to the design team. They seemed relaxed now! And I was glad that I could help!

Soon They dispersed and began to work on the actual software...To set the production....leaving us alone.

Thank you Akira! - I heard him say

I dared not to look up... In his eyes...i was afraid of my own heart! Him saying my name...did some fireworks inside me. I hated this vulnerable me.

I just nodded!

Are you ok! - he asked again coming in front of me.
Thank God he was no more caging me! I couldn't understand what is this feeling that I felt drowning to!

I am fine...Um...Mr Rathore...I think I should leave now! I hope your problem is solved...um..Let me know... If you need any help though! - I said avoiding his face

He seemed confused with my lack of confidence in my voice.... If only he knew....what he was doing to me!

Please Stay for a while...i don't mind... You staying here with me! -  I heard him muttering

I couldn't believe my ears and I jerked up to look at him...if I heard him correct but he too seemed lost... Like me!

We stared each other for a few seconds... His eyes were shinning...but I could not read him.

I lowered my eyes and said - Mr Rathore, I should go!

Call me Vikram! - he said

What!! - whispered

Nothing! Um... Thank you for your help Ms Singh! I don't know how to thank you properly...!
I know, you won't accept money and even I don't want to offer that as it would demean your kindness. - he said

It's ok Mr Rathore! I am glad I could help...and besides I am used to design work...remember I am a designer myself. - I said to lighten the nervousness

He smiled and nodded.

We both did not know what to say....We were avoiding looking at each other.
His phone rang.... His smile told me... It was from his home. He looked at me.. And received the call.

Hey princess! How are you? Did you trouble your aunt alot?

Oh! That's like my good baby! Papa loves you princess!

No princess! Papa will be on time, don't worry!

Umm... I... I was working princess...i am with aunt Akira... She came to help!

Kiyara was saying something... But I couldn't understand... And Vikram looked tensed... So I gestured him put the phone on speaker.

He did so...a bit hesitant!

I heard her angelic voice - wow papa! You are with aunt Aki! But you know, I a not happy.... You are meeting her alone... Do you know.... It's been so many days that I met her. Please bring her home na... We will play together.

Mr Rathore tried to stop her but she didn't....So I geatured him that I want to speak to her.

Heyy beautiful! How are you my princess? It's aunt Aki, Did you miss me!
- I asked

Aunt, I miss you everyday! Daddy had promised that he will bring you home but he never did.

I looked at him with my eyebrows raised...he just...shrugged...i know...thsi feeling....coz I also do these kind of stuff with vidit sometimes.

So, I smiled and said - Princess, how about instead of coming home today, we meet somewhere outside tomorrow...and I can bring vidit also with me!

She squealed at the other end and began - Really? You will meet me..? Promise?

I said - it's a promise, we will meet tomorrow for sure!

Yayyiiieeee!!!Thank you so much!
I love you Mommy! - she chirped

And my world stilled!
She called me Mommy!

I understood her sufferings and her longing for a mother figure. And This broke my heart.
I looked up to Mr Rathore who too had a painful expression on his face. His eyes brimmed with tears but he quickly wiped them.... Trying to act strong!

Tell me about it!

Sorry Aunt! Daddy asked me not to call you mommy! You don't like it na? I am sorry.... Please don't be angry...! - she said panicked almost crying

A tear slipped from my eyes.

I said - Hey! Princess! Don't cry ok! And I am not going to be angry with you.You can call me mommy... Just like vidit addresses Mr Rathore as daddy! Ok?

I shall meet you tomorrow!

With that I hung up!
I did not have much courage to talk any more.

Mr Rathore and I shared an eyelock...noone dared to speak.
Both of us were fighting our innerselves.

Our pain was same!

And probably we both had keys to each other's pain.

I sighed and pick up my bag and began to leave.

That's when I heard - Akira, I believe, together we can solve any problem... Do you believe on my belief ?

Not so sure of what to say....i turned around....looked at him and said - I will see you tomorrow Mr Rathore!
