" If I know what love is,
It's because of you! " ❤
-----------------
" Will You be my bride? " I was astounded.
What!? Bride!!
" I'm sorry. Are you kidding me? " He gave me a serious look.
" Right, Not kidding. But Why will you want to marry a st...
I couldn't help that smile on my face, seeing Naira sleep with her lips slightly parted.
Arjun got down to grab us some coffee while I waited in the car. Shifting to her right, she wrapped her arms her body. Her eyes still closed.
Removing my coat I draped it on her.
She still sleeps like a baby.
I didn't wanna take my eyes off her, For all the days I have missed to get a glimpse of her.
The wind was playing with her tresses and my hands reached out to tuck those disturbing hair strands behind her ear.
When my fingers were in close proximity to her oval shaped face, I ceased my motion.
" I shouldn't have married a stranger. "
My fingers curled into a fist. Almost instantly, I withdrew my hand.
I heaved a deep shaky breath, tightening my grip on the steering wheel.
She stirred in sleep. I saw her clutch to my coat and snuggle into it for warmth making me relax the pressure on my hand.
Arjun returned with the beverage.
" So who's this Aunt Ruby?" I asked Arjun taking a sip of coffee which made me miss the coffee Naira used to make.
" She is Aditi's Aunt, her dad's elder sister. Widowed, her husband died of cancer years ago. She lives with her Son. " I nodded.
" Naira said Aunt Ruby knows about me and Aditi. So I guess it shouldn't be a problem." Arjun added.
Seeing Arjun's worried face I questioned, " what is it? "
He sighed, " I am happy about the baby, I really am but what if she isn't? What if she thinks all this is nothing but a mistake? I want to enjoy this, feel excited and happy but I can't without her, without knowing her decision. About this baby. About us. "
I pressed his shoulder blade reassuring, " Hey! Let's take this one step at a time, Talk to Aditi once she wakes up. It's going to be fine! "
Arjun nodded at me.
We resumed out drive to Aunt Ruby's beach house.
The villa sat in a beautiful location, close to the beach.

Aditi was still in sleep, as we tucked her comfortably on her bed.
Naira glanced at her bestfriend before she turned her gaze towards Arjun.
" Aditi has never seen her mom, she doesn't know what it is to have one. she will be scared as hell when she finds out about her pregnancy. If at all anyone can comfort her, it's you.
I didn't tell her yet because I know She will freak out and I also know she will yearn for you, but she will not say it out loud. " Arjun smiled faintly.
