Together Forever

Destroyed Again!

Rika's POV

The blinding light escaping from the thin space in between the balcony curtains fell directly on my face, making me wake up from my beauty sleep. I looked at my surroundings and noticed that Adhvik's room was painted in midnight blue color in all sides except the wall behind the bed. It was painted in greyish-blue. His furniture were made from dark mahogany wood. His room is carpeted in light cream color and a king size bed occupied this extra large room in the center. On both sides were tables with night stand and drawers. Connecting to the room were three doors among which one lead to the balcony and I suspect that the other two lead to the bathroom and closet. All in all, the room screamed masculine, power and wealth.

I remembered how Dhvi let me stay in his room yesterday and took the guestroom. The way he acts with me all this time was nothing less than gentlemanly. I think and hope that he changed for better. How much ever I try to suppress my feelings for him, just seeing him breaks every barrier I have ever built around my heart. My love for him didn't change even after all these years. It still remains the same. I tried to remove him from my memory and search for my better half, but every time I talk with a guy who shows interest in me, my mind automatically compares him with Dhvi. Even if I convince myself that this guy is better than Adhvik, I wasn't able to even date the guy. My mind and heart kept screaming that it is wrong. So, I eventually tuned out the idea of dating from my mind.

So, it's been Adhvik all along. My heart and mind belongs to him. So why not embrace the feeling of love ?! After all, I deserve a chance at happiness, right?!

Yeah! I know what I'll do now. I'm going to embrace my feelings for Dhvi and show him my love through actions. I'll be lucky if he starts loving me too. If not ??...I'm not going to think about it. I'm going to be positive about this.  I'm going to try my chance.

But then Haritha's words came back to my mind. Adhvik is a player and he will never ever like you... You are just another girl for him..

Shut up you stupid brain! Forget about past...  He is changed now... He is a gentleman now...

With that thought, I got up from the bed and went into the ensuite bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth using a spare toothbrush, washed my face and brushed my hair. After I felt satisfied with my appearance, I went downstairs to the living room. The penthouse was similar to mine, but with dark furniture.

When I walked into the living room, my head directly turned to the direction of the adjoining kitchen due to the wonderful smell of French toast. There was the spectacular scene which took my breath away! The rude, ruthless and arrogant mogul, Adhvik Rish was standing in the kitchen in his sleeveless T-shirt and sweatpants, handling the pans. He looked too much in concentration when he was cooking. He moved around the kitchen like a pro and he looked homey as well. It made him more sexy and desirable. I quietly stood there and noticed him in awe. I can't help but stare at the definition of perfection ~~ Adhvik himself. The way his abs and muscles in his hands moved and stretched when he poured oil in the pan and placed the container in the top cabinet made my gaze stick to his muscles. Since I was too immersed in awing him, I didn't realize that he was noticing me. I broke from my stance when I heard a sound of clearing the throat and moved my gaze to his face , only to see the over happy, victorious expression with a naughty smirk in his face. His expression clearly implied that he caught me red handed. This made me blush in embarrassment and look away. But that didn't last long 'cause the next thing I know his that he was in front of me, towering over me and lifted my chin up to make me look into his eyes.
