{COMPLETE} THE DEAL OF FREEDOM

Of Surprises and Insecurities

Not edited. I have my exams so just posted a small chapter. :)

It was just about midnight. Vikram was working on his laptop non stop. He was sitting in his room as it was more comfortable than his study. He changed his formal attire into a pyjama and tshirt.

'I should wear this more often' he thought.

His eyes often wandered towards the balcony window to see someone, but apparently she would always be out of her room for whatever reasons.

He smiles a little, thinking about her. He has been smiling a awfully lot after she came into his life. At first he hated her but then he started feeling sympathetic about her. That was the first thing that dissolved his hatred towards her.

He didn't love her, yet.

He liked her, a lot.

Where would he be today he hadn't been taking a walk in his garden to clear his head, What would have happened if he was not there to save Lila in time?

The thought of his precious Lila to be in arms of Vijaysingh made his blood boil.

He banged his hand on the desk and soon realised it as a mistake.

His eyes once again went towards the balcony, the empty room clearly visible.,

Someone entered a room, for few seconds he thought he was dreaming about it but the pain in his hand reminded him that he was pretty much awake. 

It was a man, who entered her room and quickly hid behind her wardrobe. 

Before he could think of doing something, he saw his Lila enter the room. He wanted to tell her to go away. He was stuck on the spot thinking whether his eyes were playing game.

The man came out of her wardrobe and from behind whispered something in her ear, she turned around and hugged him.

Anger boiled inside Vikram, he felt hatred and betrayal, the pain in his fist long forgotten. 

He turned around and stormed towards Lila's house, to pull the man off his Lila.

Lila's Pov

I was in the store room. Keeping a sapling carefully in the window. Tomorrow I was going to plant it in my garden.

"Lila"

I turned to see Kaka standing behind me. I smiled at him. The way he defended and helped me last night made our relationship a bit stronger.

"Are those roses?" He asked looking at the saplings in my hand.

"Yes"

"You mother used to love roses. Especially white ones"

I was shocked and looking at that expression he sighed and said "I was in same college as your parents. I was the one who urged to ask her out"

I smiled. So he was the reason for my existence.

"I know we don't have the best relationship in the world but if you need anything don't hesitate to ask" with that he turned to leave, "By the way there is a surprise waiting for you in your room"
