Yashna POV

I woke up at 12 pm and I felt like I slept like a baby. If this would be my parent's home they would have gone berseck over my sleeping habits over here, because for them discipline and habits matter a lot. 

I did my routine, showered and what surprised me was the door was open. My bedroom door which was normally locked by the devil himself is opened now. I slowly stepped out, this is the first time I am walking out with my eyes open, yesterday when I had to go to his work with him I was blindfolded but now the door was open? 

Is this a mistake or is he testing me ? Hmm, lets see

As soon as I walked out a corridor led me to a curved staircase. I walked down and I was greeted by Vikram's back in the large open kitchen. The radio was on and it was playing one of the 90's melodies while he was cooking in his sweatshirt and comfy pyjamas. A delicious aroma called out to me. Once he turned and saw me there he gave a dimpled smile and I found myself not able to turn away from his face

Vikram: So, you are not out of the door by now?

Me: It was a test wasnt it ? You wanted to see if I would run away 

Vikram: No, I know you cannot leave because there are bodyguards and security outside. I opened your bedroom door and let you come out because you did not try any tricks yesterday. So letting you outside from that room is a reward

Me: Its still not outside

Vikram: I told you Yashna, you can ask me for anything but not for the freedom

Me: Why ? Why would you want me here ? I know it is not for ransom or to abuse me physically. You said its because of my parents. What did they ever do to you? My dad was a Bhramin priest, he performs ceremonies and my mom is a music teacher. What would they ever do to a hotshot doctor like you ?

Vikram: Yashna, sometimes our own eyes can fool us. You think you know something so well but they might shock or surprise us. You will get the truth by the end of this and then even after knowing that if you still want to leave ... 

Me: What are you saying ? You will let me go ?

Vikram: Yes, but before that give me some time. Give me your 6 months and at the end of it the truths will be set free, lies will be exposed and then you can choose, because at the end of the day, as I said before I believe that I would be equal to a vile insect or even worse than that if I ever hurt you in any way. So, would you give me 6 months?

Me: I dont know Vikram but you have to know until then you are holding me against my will okay ? You might say or promise you would not hurt me but you annoy me so much it is hurting my brain

He smiled at my dig, why is he smiling ?

Vikram: Think about it, either way you are staying here till 6 months. So rather then killing each other we could be cordial and exist in peace

Me: As if being cordial with you is easy, now what did you cook ? I am hungry 

Vikram: Follow me, be prepared to be astonished by my skills in cooking 

Me: Yeah right let me be a judge of that

He made some banana pancakes, orange juice without pulp and some upma. I tasted the food I moaned in bliss. His food is so damn yummy.

Me: Vikram, this is so good ......


Vikram POV

Yashna

Day by day I spend my time with her she reminds me so much of her

Her fiesty nature, her auro, her determination, her strength, her wit. Yashna reminds me of every moment I spent with her in the past.

She just woke up after a long sleep because we had a late procedure last night where she was assisting. She yawned and sat down on the kitchen island laying her head on the counter top. She whined in her baby voice about how she was still very sleepy. I chuckled at her complains and placed  a hot masala tea in front of her. As soon as she smelled the aroma of the hot tea she slowly sat up straight with a toothy smile and took a sip of her tea, moaning at the taste of it

Her: You make the best tea Vikram. If there is an award I will give it to you 

Me: You do remember it was your day to make the breakfast right ?

Her: Vikkkrammm It was a long day yesterday 

Me: Which is exactly why I dint wake you up until now and made you your favorite breakfast

Her eyes twinkled at the mention of her favorite breakfast. I made her a special masala dosa with her favorite pudina chutney.  I forwarded a plate in front of her and her face look shocked because, before serving the breakfast, I popped a cute "Will you marry me", question to her with the chutney I made. She looked into my eyes to check if I was serious, just to give her some time, I served her the dosa on top of it, preparing an another one for me. 

Her: Are you really serious Vikram ?

I nodded and she sat back at her place, rushing through her breakfast. She finally dressed up and I was surprised to see her wear a traditional saree with garlands in her hair. 

Me: What's up ?

Her: You, get ready quickly. Lets go married in a temple ......

Vikram: So it is a yes 

She nodded and I picked her up and twirled her around

That day is still very alive in my eyes but I never knew that day that my life would crumble in front of my eyes
