Stiffened Zydus was looking at her without blinking, as if he was looking at the world's most beautiful creation. His heart was always for her now seems like breathing in her shadow after many years.
Lalith was looking down while walking ahead, felt a stare on her and looked up to see the man. Seeing that he was looking her in a way a man looked at his beloved and smiling sillily. Her heart that was in turmoil stopped beating for a second.
Mesmerised by his gorgeous and lovely smile, she unknowingly walked upto him directly. Her eyes looking at his deep eyes felt relaxed somehow. The tiredness and fatigue she had for years for hard work vanished just by looking at his smiling face.
Lifting her hand she touched his face in a daze. Zydus who was aware of effects he had on her, smiled again.
"Beautiful." Parting his lips he said.
Hearing the voice Lalith came back to her senses and took a step back. Zydus as knowing all her moves, grabbed her waist and pulled her.
"Ahh." Surprised Lalith cried. Realising what she had done her cheeks tinted with a red glow while she was utterly embarrassed to face him and bit her lips. While looking down she tried to scape from his grip.
Sensing her actions his grip tightened and he pulled her again , making the distance between them in minus. The action of biting lips further made Zydus restless. Not to ask the redness on her cheeks.
"Lalith, don't hate me?" Zydus hugged her in his embrace tightly. "I won't ever betray you. Trust me for once." He begged her while hugging.
Zydus knew that she just came out of a relationship and the other person betrayed her, so she might be afraid of trusting or loving someone.
Lalith who was being hugged wanted to get rid but she was feeling an strange familiarity and peacefulness in his embrace making her stopped moving.
Then hearing his words of promise for trust and faith, she realised that he understand what she afraid of. Lalith who suddenly had a husband out of nowhere and then his care and promise for her, making her give up all her resentment toward life.
She remembered her mother's words; " always give yourself and the person who love you a chance to be happy, if you think is the right one."
Although she didn't know if he is right one as who knew that he or she is the right one just by knowing after one day. She thought but feeling his sincerity and care, she finally decided.
Zydus losing his grip made her look at him; "okay?" He asked in a pleading tone.
Seeing that Lalith was nodding her head his heart felt full of emotions and he kissed her on her head. Lalith stiffened with the sudden kiss and her hands that hanging by her side, gripped the dress she was wearing.
Looking at her red face he chuckled and made her look at him. Not noticing any rejection in her eyes he smiled then he kissed her lips. Deepening the kiss he pulled her on bed. All her excuses and ideas, she was thinking to avoid the love making process, vanished at that moment.
Next day in the morning, Lalith was sleeping soundly when she felt a slight touch on her forehead. Opening her eyes she realised that her slight was blurry. She wanted to rub them but her hand halfway through grabbed by someone.
Remembering the night and person, her cheeks turned red and after freeing her hand she pulled the blanket on her head. When a chuckle sounded above, she hastily decided to pretend to sleep to avoid him.
"Get up and have some breakfast." Zydus's voice sounded and the blanket pulled down to her neck. A sudden light reflected on her eyes making her squint them.
Making the situation less awkward and pretending to be calm she decided to just go with the flow. So after replying him she tried to sit.
" ohhh shoot." A row of cursing escaped her mouth when the sharp pain on her waist hit her. Remembering the reason she looked up in anger, to the man who was sitting beside him and looking at her with a smile.
"My fault." Without waiting for her complain he apologised; "I will be gentle next time. He promised.
Hearing the next time made her blush more and she looked sideways to avoid looking at him. "Don't you have a meeting for your lost competition today at eleven in the morning." He reminded her.
Lalith stopped blushing and looked at him questionably, because she thought he was spying on her. Sensing her doubts on him ; " A girl just called to remind you. And if I'm not wrong , might be your secretary." He replied proving his innocence.
"Ohh" Lalith went to wash up and when she came out , she saw the man left alone in the room was also got ready in his formals.
"Your cloths are in the walk in closet." He gestured the way to the closet after seeing her in bathrobe.
"Office?" Lalith nodded before asking.
"Yes, come down after changing ." After replying her in a stern tone he went outside of the room. His tone made her think that he was angry on something . But thinking it shouldn't be she got rid of the thought.
Walking in closet she realised the luxury of being the wife of a prince. She changed with a simple purple and white dress, before making way outside of the room with her cellphone.
Descending on the stairs , she saw a message notification on her phone. It was Adam's, that was giving the information of the buyers. Replying him to deny the order , she reached at the end of the stairs.
"Ahhhh"
Someone pulled her suddenly making her cried out in surprise.
