🍁 ASHWARIYA POV 🍁
"So where are we going for the date this time?" I asked to break the silent atmosphere which has prevailed in the car. I don't know why Kilian was unusually silent and that was making me worry.
When I questioned him about it he replied back that it maybe due to stress of work but I found his answer a little aloof. But I let the topic pass as I can be overthinking. Then the car came to a halt. And I think that I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when we reached our destination.
And like a gentleman he is, he opened the car door for me and forwarded his hand. I smiled and took hold of his hand as I got out.
But then he took out a black silk cloth and blindfolded me.
"Kilian, what are you trying to do?" I questioned him but was silenced by a kiss.
"Do you trust me!?" He asked.
"More than my life!" I said without any hesitation. I trust him more than I trust myself.
"Then just follow me!" He said and took hold of one of my hands and started to guide me. I don't know where he was talking but the place where he was leading me was a little chilling and breezy.
Then he removed my blindfold and the scene which was in front of me made me awe. Everything was decorated with small shimmering light and in the middle there was a table on which candles were arranged beautifully. And lights also adorned it.
"Kilian....." I turned toward him but paused when I saw him kneeling in front of me. And my breath hitched. I wasn't expecting this.
"Ashwariya, I love you and no words can't comprehend my love for you. Ashwariya, the day my eyes landed on you made my heart flip. I wasn't looking for love but it's rightly said that love knocks on your door when you least expect it. And it goes the same for me. You came unexpectedly in my life and I want you to become a permanent person in my life. Ashwariya, will you allow me to cherish you for your whole life? Will you marry me?" He asked and by the time he ended my eyes were full of tears.
How could I let such a gem slip from my hand! How could I lose such a treasure! I will never be able to find someone like him! Who understood me even though I didn't said anything! He brought light back into my life! He gave me happiness when I thought it was not possible!
I didn't trust my mouth so I nodded. He got up and then slipped the ring in my ring finger. The ring was simple but elegant. And then he crashed his lips on me. I took no time responding it. We kissed with the new found passion.
"I love you, Kilian!" I said as we broke the kiss. Our forehead rested together.
"I love you too!" He said and then led me towards the table and we both proceeded to finish the dinner.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I wiped the tears which still managed to come out although how hard I tried it to stop. The pregnancy has made me oversensitive and it has become hard to control my emotions.
Nowadays I tend to cry easily. But now I was weeping as I remembered my family back in India. Although it was never mine but still. Badi maa would always want me to have a family of my own. She always prayed to God to give me a cherishing and loving husband.
And I am having everything but they are not part of it. I wished that they were included in my happiness. And how much I missed my brothers.
They used to never leave any opportunity to tease me to death. And if they were here they would have done the same. And if they would have been there then certainly they would have stopped my wedding. But they went to another state due to business and everything happened behind their backs. I am sure they would have surely come to my rescue if they would have come to know what was happening in the house in their absence. But everyone was prohibited from informing them and my phone was snatched away from me.
I think I should forget about them and consider them as memories. But it's easier said than done. And the moments I had spent with them makes it hard to forget. And again I broke into sobs. I covered my face with my hands and cried.
Why is my fate so cruel! Why I had to lose my precious people in order to get happiness!
First I lost my parents but I got a second family who always tried their best to never make me feel the absence of my parents. Then I found Kilian but I lost everything back in India. My friends, brothers and my family. And this made me cry harder.
"Ashwariya!" I heard Kilian's voice and my head snapped towards the room door where he was standing. He is one hour early from his usual time.
"Kilian!" I said and wiped my tears. I didn't want him to see my cry and consider me a cry baby.
"What happened, love!?" He asked as he came near me. He sat beside me and wiped my tears away. He never even once got irritated because of me. He tolerated my every mood swing with patience and not to forget my weird food carvings.
"I miss them! I want to know why they just abandoned me like that! I want answers from them!" I said and now I sobbed hard.
"Okay! We are going to India so now wipe your tears!" He said and I looked at him, utterly shocked. He chuckled at face expression and wiped away my tears with his thumb pad.
"But if Ronick tries to hurt you!? What if he harms you?" I said. I didn't want to lose him for forever like I did to my parents.
"Baby, I am not a millionaire for nothing!" He said with a smirk.
"And I am also curious to know why they just abandoned you! They didn't do it because of your properties because as you said that your uncles gave you your parents property papers when you were 21! And you also said they never ever let you feel that you lost your parents and if they considered you as a burden then they would have never loved you like that and had tried to get rid of you!" He added and his words made sense and these questions always used to run in my mind.
"So it's decided that we are going and I will call my pilots to get my private jet ready!" He said before I could protest further and I knew that I wouldn't win this argument so I decided to back down and also a part of me wanted to know why they all did this and what made them hate me!
