The Story of my Love

Chapter 49

Sandy's POV

Akshara falls asleep on my lap and I continue to run my fingers through her hair. My heart literally broke while seeing her so broken when I came out of the washroom, I would have definitely broken that idiot's face if he was before me right now. I wanted to make this day more and more special for my little one but he made her cry. I dont wake her up as I dont want to see her crying again, I just drift to sleep leaning on the backrest of the bed.

I wake up as my neck aches badly sleeping this way all night. I slowly try to shift Akshara's head to a pillow making sure she doesnt wake up its just 7 in the morning, so I think of taking a 2 hour nap and then we can start back home and execute our plan for the rest of the day.

I keep looking at her, the cute little way she sleeps and it really feels like she is smiling at me while she is asleep. Once again, I drift to sleep gazing my little angel.

Akshara's POV

I feel so tired when I wake up, my eyes feels so heavy and I'm having a mild headache. I dont remember when I fell asleep yesterday night. I remember the way Sandy was trying to console me but dont know when I fell asleep. Sandy is still asleep and I dont wake him up, he must be very tired as he toiled so hard to make my day special yesterday. I still cant find out a proper reason why he's taking care of me this much but still this care is making me feel so secured.

I get down from the bed slowly making sure he doesnt wake up and go straight to the washroom as I badly need to take a bath to wash out the terrible memories of Aadit last night.

The hot water feels so relaxing, I take a quick bath and quickly change into the dress which Sandy gifted me. It really looks beautiful on me. I love the way it looks on me. I keep staring at myself in the mirror while drying my hair.

"Haa haa, birthday baby is admiring herself so badly" Sandy's voice startles me.

"Im not admiring myself, I'm just drying my hair" I say throwing the towel playfully on him.

"Your really looking so beautiful, Akshara" he says and I suddenly feel something different in me.

"Not beautiful, very very beautiful, the colour suits you very well." he continues but I stop him.

"That's enough for now, just get ready , Sandy." I say pulling him from the bed.

"No no no Im not coming anywhere, Im going to sleep" he whines.

"Does this mean we are going to spend the whole day here" I ask him in a low tone.

"Ahh, my crybaby. I was just kidding. Come on little one, I will get ready in another 30 mins and we can go home and plan the rest of our day, OK" he says getting down from the bed which automatically puts a smile on my face.

I just cant find my mobile, I dont even know where he has kept it. I just keep waiting for him till he gets ready and we leave the place by 11 'o' clock.

I keep enjoying the silence and the cool breeze during the drive back home. I dont speak anything, not beacause I'm hurt or something, I was just enjoying the care Sandy is showering on me and enjoying every single moment of this day.

We click some beautiful pictures during the drive back home. After long drive we reach our place. I can see something is going on inside. I can hear some familiar voices.

Once again, this idiot closes my eyes.

"Now, what's wrong Sandyyy" I whine.

"How I can reveal a suprise without closing your eyes" he says and laughs.

"Get lost, idiot" I say as he tries to help me walk inside the house.

SUPRISE!!!!!!

Everyone shouts and sandy removes his hands from my eyes. I stand stunned seeing my mom and dad standing there next to the cake. I even see some of our old friends there and to my suprise there is one unexpected guest.

"Happy birthday Akshara" Karthick says. I havent seen him after that big issue. I didnt even expect that he would come all along here even after all the stupid stuff which happened.

I try to speak but Im not able to say a word. I just stand silent until Sandy waves his hand in front of me.

"Are you there" he asks and I nod with a teardrop rolling down my cheek

"Ahhh han my crybaby, come on this is not the time to cry, its time to enjoy the special day" he says wiping that teardrop off my face and I hug him instantly.

"Thank you Sandy, thank you for all that you are doing for me, I dont understand why you are doing this but thanks for taking all the effort to make me happy, out of all new people and friends I have ever had, you have proved to my best frienddd and the most annoying cousin" I say as I cry into his chest.

"Ok ok, your always welcome and I think you can now enjoy your day and say your thanks tomorrow" he says and we both laugh.

I walk towards mom and dad and they wish me and I could clearly see that they were worried about me all these days. Even though I haven't shared anything to them about Aadit, they knew I going through immense pain.

"Its good to see you so happy and cheerful again" Dad says as he sees me.

Then we all had the same fun which usually happens at birthday parties and it was really a wonderful day.

Sandy, Karthick and myself had a long and engaging conversation that we didnt even realize that it was nearing midnight.

We all realize the time only when Karthick received a call from his parents asking about his whereabouts
Only then we end our conversation and Karthick leaves to the place where he has booked for the night's stay.

I just keep thinking of everything that happened today. I never expected to be  happy on my birthday this year, my this man made my day super happy.

"At least now will you give my mobile" I plead

"No way Akshara, just go to sleep with this beautiful smile on your face for today" he says and walks to his room.

Im not very sure of how Im gonna repay for all that he has done to me but he would always have a special place in my life.
