Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 28

Recap: Vikram and family boarded their jet to Whitsunday Island by evening.

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

The private jet soared high above the clouds, carrying Vikram, Sana, their little princess Sara, and the rest of their family toward their long-awaited destination. Though Vikram and Sana had traveled across the world before, this trip was different, it was their first as a family, with their daughter in their arms. It wasn't just another vacation; it was a memory they would treasure forever.

Inside the jet, Vikram and Sana sat side by side, while Pugazh and Pavi were comfortably seated across from them. Amma sat opposite Pavi, her gaze occasionally drifting toward little Sara, who was nestled securely in Sana's arms.

Vikram couldn't take his eyes off his wife. She looked breathtakingly beautiful, the soft glow of the cabin lights making her features even more radiant. He had always admired her, but seeing her like this—holding their daughter, smiling so gently, made his heart swell with emotions he couldn't put into words. Overcome by love, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.

Sana gasped slightly, her eyes widening as she glanced around, her cheeks already flushing a deep red.

"Vikky!" she whispered, her voice a mixture of embarrassment and scolding. "Keep quiet. We're not in our room. Remember that."

Vikram smirked, clearly unbothered. "We do have rooms in our jet, love... and I don't mind making use of them. What do you say?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Sana shot him a glare, though the blush on her face betrayed her amusement. "Oh my God! What has gotten into you? Our daughter is staring at you right now!"

Vikram glanced at Sara, who indeed was watching him with her innocent, curious eyes. He sighed dramatically. "Fine, we'll save our time for after landing. But I'm waiting, baby."

Sana chuckled, shaking her head. "Let's see..."

Vikram leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a husky murmur. "Sunshine, please don't do this to me..."

Sana laughed, nudging him playfully, but before she could respond, Pugazh, who had been watching their little exchange, spoke up.

"What's he whispering to you, Sana?" Pugazh asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

Vikram immediately turned toward him, an easy smirk on his face. "Hey, hey, hey! Keep your focus on your wife. Listen to what she has to say, and leave mine to me."

Pranitha, who was sitting next to Pugazh, rolled her eyes. "Everything you say falls on deaf ears. He will never change, will he?" She turned toward Pugazh, shaking her head knowingly.

Pugazh smiled and took her hand. "No, sweetheart. But you know I only have my eyes on you."

The journey continued with endless chatter, laughter, and playful teasing. Even a long 25-hour flight couldn't dampen the lively atmosphere inside the jet. When they finally neared their destination, excitement buzzed through the cabin.

As their jet descended, the breathtaking view of the island stretched before them—a paradise of endless turquoise waters, golden sands, and lush greenery. The moment they stepped off the jet, a soft breeze carried the scent of salt and blooming flowers, welcoming them to their temporary haven.

Waiting for them on the tarmac were the embassy's higher officials, along with a security detail composed of Australian cops and private guards that Vikram had personally arranged.

The officials stepped forward, exchanging polite greetings before one of them gestured toward the security team. "Mr. Vikram, these officers will be ensuring your protection throughout your stay here."
