Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 21

Recap: Pugazh arrives with family to Vikram Mansion. Vikram and Pugazh were busy planning something.

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

Sana was sleeping peacefully while Vikram admired her. His phone buzzed with a call from Pugazh, reminding him to start their plan. Smiling, Vikram gently woke Sana from her sleep.

"What happened, Vikram? Please let me sleep," she mumbled, turning away.

"Hey, wifey..." he called in his deep, husky voice.

Sana could no longer sleep. She sat up with a pout.

Vikram chuckled. "You look too cute with that pout."

"Did you wake me up just to say this?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.

"No..." He glanced at the clock on the wall and smiled as it struck twelve. "Happy birthday, wifey." He kissed her forehead and cheeks gently.

Sana's eyes welled up with happy tears. Hugging him, she whispered, "Thank you, thank you so much, Vikky. But how did you know it's my birthday today?"

Vikram smirked. "How could I forget this day? It's the day my soul met yours. Now come on, let's go downstairs and get some milk for you. Did you forget what Mom told you?"

Vikram carried her downstairs. The floor was in complete darkness.

"Vikram, why is it so dark?" Sana asked, clutching his shirt.

"Maybe the maid forgot to turn on the lights before retiring for the day," he said casually.

"Vikky..." she called softly.

"Yes, Sunshine?"

She leaned in and whispered, "I love you."

Vikram's lips curled into a smile as he whispered back, "I love you too."

"Why do you whisper, Vikky?"

"Nothing, just like that, baby."

"Why don't you say it aloud like me?" she teased.

With that, she suddenly screamed, "I LOVE YOU, HUBBY!"

At that moment, the lights turned on, revealing her father, Rakshat, Sam, Pugazh, Pavi, and Amma standing before her. She gasped, feeling completely embarrassed.

"Oh my God, Vikk! Why didn't you tell me they were here? I feel so embarrassed now!" she whined, covering her face.

Vikram laughed. "That's okay, love. But I'm so happy to hear that."

Pugazh smirked. "Dude, do you have plans to carry her in your arms the whole night?"

Vikram chuckled and gently set her down. Everyone wished her a happy birthday. Overwhelmed, Sana smiled as she looked at the decorated house and the effort everyone had put in for her.

Rakshat brought a cake, and Sana cut it, feeding Vikram the first bite before sharing it with everyone.

Krishnan stepped forward. "Happy birthday, Sana. Be happy always. I only want to see this smile forever." He handed her a box. "These are your mother's diamond jewels. She chose each piece for you, intending to give them to you after your marriage. Now, they belong to you."

Tears filled Sana's eyes as she held the jewelry, cherishing her mother's memory.

Rakshat gifted her a platinum watch with diamonds embedded in it. "Happy birthday, Sana."

Sam grinned. "Happy birthday, crazy. A small gift for you." He handed her a box filled with her favorite chocolates and macarons.

Pugazh stepped forward. "Happy birthday, my dear sister. Here's my gift—I hope you'll love it." He handed her a small box containing a delicate gold anklet.
