Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 52

Recap: Pranitha  is pregnant

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

Vikram and Sana accompanied Pranitha and Pugazh as they all returned home. The moment they entered, Amudha's face lit up with joy. She was on cloud nine after hearing the news of a new member soon to join their family.

"I'm so happy that I have no words to express it," Amudha said, her eyes sparkling.

"I'm so happy, Mom. I'm going to be a father!" Pugazh added, unable to contain his excitement.

"What did the doctor say?" Amudha asked eagerly.

Vikram took over, his voice serious yet gentle. "Pranitha is weak, and she needs plenty of rest. So, Pranitha, you'll stay home. No more office from now on."

"No, bro, I'm good. I'll come to office," Pranitha insisted.

"No way," Vikram replied firmly. "Take rest. If you really want to work, I'll let you know when it's okay."

Sana stepped in with a warm smile. "Sis, rest well. Sharath bro will take care of the office, paathupaaru."

Pranitha sighed with mock frustration. "You all have decided everything. What should I even say now?"

"Just for a few days," Sana said gently. "You can start working later. We won't stop you."

"Okay, fine," Pranitha finally agreed with a soft smile.

"Pranitha, go rest. I'll get you some juice," Amudha said and walked toward the kitchen.

Just then, little Sara came running in. "Appa!"

"Princess, come to Appa," Vikram said, lifting her into his arms and kissing her cheek. She returned the kiss sweetly.

Pugazh looked at Sara and smiled. "Sara, you'll have a baby brother or sister to play with very soon."

"Is it, uncle? Wow! Happy, happy!" Sara squealed.

"Okay now, go to Amma. And you shouldn't disturb Aunty," Vikram instructed.

"Okay, Appaa," Sara nodded and trotted away.

Pranitha chuckled. "Bro, what is this? Sara, baby, you don't have to listen to him. You come to Aunty like usual, and we'll play."

"Okay, Aunty," Sara replied with a giggle.

Vikram turned to Sana. "Sana, I'm leaving for office. Will meet you tonight."

He kissed her cheek, then walked out of the mansion and headed to his office. Upon arrival, he found Sharath waiting.

"Rajeev is waiting for you," Sharath informed.

"When did he come?" Vikram asked.

"Two hours back," Sharath replied.

Vikram walked into his cabin where Rajeev was already seated.

"Hi Rajeev, sorry I couldn't make it earlier," Vikram greeted.

"It's okay, Vikram. How are you?" Rajeev smiled.

"I'm good. How about you?"

"Doing good," Rajeev nodded. "But there's something important. Akash's father is forming an alliance with your rivals."

Vikram's brows rose. "Interesting. So he has taken over his son's unfinished business."

"He wants revenge, and he's planning it quietly."

"Let him plan," Vikram said coldly. "We'll return the favor—this time, on a much bigger scale."

"Watch out for your factories and operations," Rajeev warned. "It seems he might start there. His lawyer visited him recently, and from what I gathered, they're also planning to get Akash out through some alternate means."
