Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 18

Recap: Vikram and Sana were having their own time speaking their heart out.

*****************************************

Sana sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard, while Vikram sat beside her, holding her hand.

"Vicky, tell me, how much do you like me?" she asked, her eyes searching his.

Vikram smiled softly. "Actually, I'm a complete introvert, and I never spoke to any girls. You were the first girl to come near me. When you bumped into me at the temple, I couldn't see your face, but I felt something different a spark. It was as if my whole body experienced a shock. I still remember the lavender fragrance, it made me forget everything around me. My mom used to have that scent. And then, when you fell on me on the backyard of the hotel, I was completely lost... I was holding your slim, bare waist, so soft, and I didn't want to let go, but I missed you that time too."

Sana gazed at him intently. "If you had felt so much, then how did you stay away from Priyanka?"

Vikram chuckled. "When you are my destiny, how could I go near her? I always listen to my heart. Whenever she met me, I never felt the vibe that I had with you. Maybe that missing connection kept me away from her. My soul was already connected to you the first moment we met, so it stayed away from others."

A soft smile played on Sana's lips. "I want to live the rest of my life with you and our little family, Vicky. Can I?"

Vikram cupped her face gently. "Of course, Sana. We shall live our life and even make up for all the days we missed."

"Let me call Dad and inform him that we will visit him tomorrow," she said, reaching for her phone.

"No, don't do that. Let it be a surprise," Vikram suggested. "Now, do you want to rest for a while? You look tired."

"I will rest for a bit," she agreed.

He helped her lay down, caressed her hair until she fell asleep, then covered her with a duvet. Quietly, he left the room and made a call. His voice was tense as he spoke, but by the time the conversation ended, a satisfied grin spread across his face. Returning to her side, he sat by the bed, watching over her. Guilt gnawed at him. He wanted to keep her safe and give her all the happiness in the world.

It was around 1 p.m. when Vikram received another call. After finishing it, he gently woke Sana.

"Sana... wake up, sunshine."

She groaned. "Please, Vicky, let me sleep a little longer."

He chuckled. "My dear wifey, both you and our baby must be starving. Please wake up and eat. I'll let you sleep after you finish lunch."

Sana finally relented, and Vikram carried her to the washroom to freshen up before bringing her downstairs. She was too busy staring at Vikram's face to notice the people seated in the living room.

"Hey wifey, why are you looking at me like that?" Vikram teased.

"You look so hot and handsome, darling," she murmured dreamily.

Vikram grinned, placing her gently on the couch. Just then, a throat-clearing sound snapped her out of her daze. Turning, she saw her father, Krishnan, along with Rakshat and Samrat. She was stunned, they had never visited Vikram's mansion since her marriage. Tears welled up in her eyes as she rushed to hug her father. Rakshat and Samrat joined them, all of them overcome with emotion.

"My little girl, how are you?" Krishnan asked, his voice thick with affection.

"Dad, I'm so happy. How are you? When did you arrive?"
