33. His HOME!

Jai

As soon as I left the house with Aarav, I had been thinking about one thing: Is Preeti related to Daman in any way? We got into my car, and then we left for our destination.

"Did she tell you anything?" I asked Aarav.

"No. I tried getting information out of her, but she didn't even look at me," Aarav replied.

"Damn. She didn't?" I teased him.

"Yeah, I know right. How can she even resist me?" Aarav said, rolling his eyes. And both of us chuckled.

We drove to our office. Aarav kept Preeti in a room along with one of our female team members. When we reached, I parked my car, and then we headed to the part of the office that anyone barely enters.

The moment we reached the door, I heard her say 'I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything.' Aarav opened the door and entered inside, and I soon followed him. Ananya, one of our team members, made her sit.

"Sir, I'm sorry," she repeated the words.

Sorry? Sorry for deleting the calls and messages from Anika? Sorry for violating all the rules as my assistant? Sorry for what fucking thing?

"Why?" I asked. "Why did you do that?"

She looked guilty. Oh good, at least she has that side.

"I was jealous," she said, and my anger grew even more.

"Of?" I knew why. I just wanted to get the proof. I've been recording this since we entered the room.

"I was jealous that Anika got all the attention from you. She was not meant to be with you. She came into your life just because of Aarav!" she said.

She was not meant to be with me? Then why did she feel like the only one who makes me whole?

"What was the other reason?" I asked. She might have worked with Daman. She doesn't have access to my secret files, though. People honestly think I'd leave my phone to my assistant without placing my files securely? Jokes on them.

"So, how did you crack the password? I never said that to you," I said.

"No, you were always so secretive, so I had to look up on Google. I found a way to break into others' phones, so I did that. Guess it worked," she replied.

"Good. Now you can go now," I said.

"To jail." I added and left.

I instructed Ananya what to do, sent her the recording; with this, she will be behind the bars easily and a little power can get you to many places.

She might be related to Daman. I'm a 99% sure she is, so getting answers out of her will be difficult. It's better if she goes behind the bars so she doesn't have any contact with anybody else.

Preeti anyhow didn't get the access to my files which were saved on my laptop.

She had begged me to leave her, that it was her fault and she was sorry, but she should have thought that before doing this shit.

I had no time for this. I had to get back to my wife.

"Aarav, coming back?" I asked when we reached the parking lot.

"Yeah, Nisha's there. Let me just grab my bike keys." He left and came back in a minute.

We drove separately, me in my car and Aarav on his bike. This guy had an obsession with his bike. He never took them out around everyone, though.

I played one of Anika's playlists while going back, but the feel wasn't the same. Something, a major part, was missing. Which was my princess.

When we reached our place, I unlocked the door with my card. As soon as we entered the living room, I saw both Anika and Nisha sleeping on the sofa. They might have lost track of time while chatting.

I moved towards Anika, looking at her beautiful and peaceful face while she's sleeping. Even though she doesn't realize this, she looks like an angel. The most beautiful woman on the planet.

I picked her up slowly and took her to the bedroom. She snuggled into me every time I picked her up like this. I love this thing about her.

I quickly changed into my tee and sweats and went to the hall. Aarav was talking to Nisha, who was barely responding.

"You're taking her with you?" I said once Aarav looked like he was ready to throw her over his shoulder and take her somewhere.

"No. She'll fall off the bike if I make her ride now," Aarav replied.

"Can she sleep here?" he added.

"Sure. The guest room is free," I replied.

"Thanks." He said and carried Nisha to the room.

I cleaned the hall a bit and by the time the alarm rang, I arranged Anika's medication and a glass of water in a tray.

"Anii" I tried waking her up.

"Hmmm?"

"Time for medication."

"Nooo."

"You need to take these," I said.

"Let me sleep, please." She replied. She was such a cutie.

"Yeah, just take this tablet then you can go back to bed."

She made a sound but got up and took the tablet, then went back to sleeping.

I heard Aarav in the hall, so I went back.

"You're leaving?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow to take her back. Don't worry about it." He said.

"Sure. You're not staying?"

"No. I'll go back to our home."

"Okay. Drive safe." I said and he left.

I went back to my wife and when I slipped inside the covers, she immediately snuggled closer to me.

I held her like my life was in her hand. It was.

I couldn't imagine a life without this tiny human around me, making me smile imagining her actions all day.

I love her so much. She might not love me back, but I'll love her enough for the both of us. I'll keep giving her my heart until she either takes it or breaks it.

Every day was busy these days, but then she was the only one who believed in me. She never doubted me for a second.

And I'll prove that I'm worthy of her.

I'll explain everything that happened tomorrow. We needed to have a chat. It's time. It wasn't that I didn't trust her, I trusted her more than everyone in the whole world. I just didn't convey that to her.

I bought her closer to me and slept breathing in her scent. I finally know what home feels like.

Anika

I woke up with an arm around my waist, which I hadn't experienced in the past few days. After so many days! I had to pee, but I didn't want to wake him up so I slowly got up.

"Good morning, princess," I heard Jai say.

"You weren't asleep?" I asked.

"No, I was watching you," he replied. This man.

"Sure," I rolled my eyes and went to the washroom. By the time I brushed my teeth and returned to the room, I saw our bed arranged and something smelling really good.

I returned to the hall and saw the hottest view ever. Jai cooking with only his sweats on, the top half of his body naked.

"Nisha left with Aarav around 5 minutes ago," he said.

"Ohhh," I replied. They were my best friends, but that wasn't on my mind now.

"What are you doing here? No work today?" I asked.

"Not entirely. I'm working from home for a few days," Jai replied.

"Why?"

"Because I want to take care of my wife."

"I don't need anyone to take care of me," I replied.

"You definitely don't, but I want to do that for you." he replied with a small smile. Then he went back to cooking, and I sat there watching him.

After we had our breakfast, which was different than before because things changed.

"Any plans for tonight?" Jai asked.

"Yeah, my books," I replied cheekily.

"Other than that," he chuckled.

"Nothing."

"Will you agree to a movie date, Mrs. Singhania?" he asked, placing my hands in his.

"Ok." I replied after thinking for a while. If he thought that I was going to say no, let him.

But because he was making an effort, I won't be denying it. I want him back, but at the same time, I can't easily forgive him for what he did. Let's see where this takes us.
