Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 51

Recap: Vikram and Sana in Swizz

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

It was well past morning, but the couple was still fast asleep, wrapped in each other's arms. The silence in the room was broken only by the ringtone of Vikram's mobile phone. He stirred from his sleep, reaching for his phone groggily and attending the call. As he ended it, his eyes fell on his wife, sleeping peacefully on his chest.

A gentle smile touched his lips. He carefully brushed back a strand of hair from her face and kissed her forehead softly.

"Sana, baby... shall we get up?" he whispered.

She mumbled, "Hmmm... no..."

"Are you not hungry?"

"I'm hungry but... I want to sleep. Too tired."

"We'll have some food and then you can sleep," he offered.

"Please... no," she mumbled again, cuddling into him.

Chuckling to himself, Vikram slowly moved away, making sure not to disturb her too much. After refreshing himself, he returned and sat next to her, gently nudging her.

"Hey baby, get up. You're too tired. Eat something now," he coaxed.

"No, please..." she murmured, pulling the blanket over her face.

"You won't listen to me, huh?" Vikram teased. "If you don't get up, then I'll come on top of you. Will that be okay?"

Her eyes snapped open. "No no... I'm awake! Thank you. I'm already too tired," she said quickly, sitting up.

Vikram laughed softly. "Get ready now."

Sana freshened up and soon, both sat down for lunch. After their meal, they went back to bed and continued their sleep, utterly exhausted.

By evening, they woke up and settled in the resort's lawn, sipping hot coffee and enjoying the mountain breeze. Just then, Sana's expression changed.

"Vikky, I can hear Sara's voice," she said, looking around.

"Is it? I don't hear anything," he replied, puzzled.

"But I could hear her voice... I miss her," she whispered, her eyes searching the distance.

"Don't be confused. Let's get back inside," Vikram said calmly, placing a reassuring hand on her back.

They walked in, and the moment they stepped into the room, Sana stopped in her tracks, eyes wide in disbelief. Her lips parted in shock and joy.

"Sara...!" she gasped.

Their little girl came running to her, and Sana scooped her up, hugging her tightly and showering her with kisses.

"She took her and kissed her," Vikram whispered with a smile, watching the reunion.

"Are you happy, Sana?" Pugazh asked warmly.

Sana turned to him, still holding Sara. "How did you plan this?"

"My brother planned everything," Pranitha replied with a knowing smile.

Sana turned to Vikram, eyes narrowing affectionately. "Vikky... you never told me."

"It's a surprise, baby. Pugazh and Pranitha will attend the meet tomorrow," Vikram said, grinning.

"You plan too much," she said, laughing through her tears.

Vikram simply smiled, watching his family reunited.

The next day, Pugazh and Pranitha attended the business meet, representing Vikram and Sana's group with professionalism and poise.

Meanwhile, Vikram and Sana took Sara to Basel Zoo—Switzerland's oldest and largest zoo, attracting 1.8 million visitors annually. The zoo was a treasure trove of animals from across the world, allowing children to get up close with some of the most beautiful and endangered creatures on Earth.
