Bodyguard of the Heiress

Chapter 62

Thooriga

Then I was his princess and now Raj's Rani.

I touch the tiara locket on my neck chain and the queen locket on the waist chain before getting dressed in a pair of black top and pencil fit jeans. I tie my hair into a ponytail, wear my jacket, pocket my phone and purse and tuck the file behind me which I wanted to show him since I have arrived but never got time.

After seeing the efforts he had taken to keep my childhood room as it was and his gift from his first salary, I couldn't wait until evening for him to come home. One thing I noticed when I went to visit the Estate office and his showroom cum garage is that the lunch hour is from one to two in the afternoon and the staff are not allowed to have lunch on their tables but should have in the food court or lunch room on their floor.

So, I asked Ilakkiya Aththai whether the lunch was ready and had it early around twelve in the noon. I informed Saby bro that I'm going to pack my bag which I already did last night with the help of Raj that led us to his bedroom. And I asked him not to let anyone inside as I'm going to sleep for a while after packing.

I locked the lounge room door, bedroom door and the closet door before changing my dress. Now, I also lock the bathroom door before I open the way to the tunnel and climb down the ladder. I followed the route that he taught when he took me to his garage.

Yesterday, when he took me to his flat to show the antique box which is passed on in his family, I got a bit hurt seeing the picture of his friend's wedding reception. In Siva Ashwika's reception picture girls were on one side and boys on the other side but in Mathew Anna's everyone posed as couples.

Though I love him to the sky and beyond, at the end of the day, I'm also a girl who tends to get hurt seeing her man with another woman. The girl who kissed him in the night club, Tapsiya at the reunion party and then that girl in the picture. Whatever they were, I knew they were his past but still it did hurt me.

I don't know how I could have handled myself, if I had seen him as a family man with another girl. But if he was happy with her and she loved him with all her heart, in spite of my heartbreak, I would have been happy for him. But despite being the infamous playboy, he was waiting for me without knowing that it's me who he had wanted.

His wall of photos was filled with most of our pictures. He has also framed the engagement photo of Siva Ashwika, only because I had captured it. And he took me to show the box which has to be passed on to the next generation, if its owner doesn't come in search of it. These three things became the medicine for my wound that happened when I saw the other picture.

I asked him to show the box as I would be the bearer of the Vajendra clan's next generation. Though he blushed and didn't say anything, by taking me to show the box, he indirectly agreed to my claim. Though that reception happened five years ago, I could feel his pain and fear of losing me when he saw the tears in my eyes.

He held my hand tight when we walked down the tunnel as if he was assuring himself that I'm with him. I didn't know what he thought, suddenly he loosened the grip on my hand but I held it tight and hugged his arm. I felt a visible relief on his body before smiling at me.

How could he even think that I would ever leave him?

And today seeing his gift from his first month salary at the age when I know it's worth, I just learned how special I have always been to him. I don't know how much the chain and locket cost then and now but his thought of wanting to buy me something in his first hard earned month, is worth more than zillions.

All these things just proves that I have been his special person without his knowledge. As far as I remember he has always treated me special. Now I really doubt whether I first got attracted to his exterior when I was eleven or if any of his special gestures have stolen the tiny heart that started beating only for him.
