His Softness [Completed]

Right now?

Dhruv's pov:-

I'm so happy to see her smiling like that. After all this time, it's the first time she is genuinely this happy.

When she came and hugged me all of a sudden, I just couldn't control but kiss her tender lips and thankfully she didn't push me away.

At dinner she told me all about her day. Her eyes were shining as she was talking about the kids. She really really loves kids.

I was just admiring her sweet smile all the time. I just wish she'll be like this all the time.

She'll get the results in a few days and I know she'll get it.

I was sleeping and then the light switched on. I have a light sleep so whenever even if there is a slight sound I get up.

I turned and saw Alia was sitting and scrolling through her phone.

"Alia, it's 2 am for god's sake, why aren't you sleeping?" I asked looking at my phone.

She kept her phone aside and came closer to me.

"I'm hungry." She whispered in my ear and I looked at her.

"Hm...you are? What do you want?" I sat up on the bed.

"Um.....Pizza." she said with an innocent expression.

"Right now?"

She nodded with her huge puppy eyes. Ugh...so cute. How can I say no to that face?

But where will I get her pizza from right now?

"No one's going to deliver it this late you know.......You want me to make it? Like I can make you mini....brea...d?  pizza...." I said, thinking about it.

"Yess!" She said excitedly.

How does she have so much energy in the middle of the night?

"Wait...I'll go make you some."

I kissed her cheek and got up to go to the kitchen.

I have made a bread pizza before and it's pretty easy but I'm so damn sleepy. I hope she likes it though.

I cut a few veggies first. Then I took out the bread, pizza sauce, and cheese.

I was about to put pizza sauce on the bread then I thought of doing something new for her. I cut the bread in a heart shape and then put all the ingredients on it.

I placed them on the pan in low heat and after five minutes they were done.

She'll like them. They are as cute as she is.

I took the plate and took it to our bedroom. She was still smiling, looking at her phone when I entered. What is she looking at?

"Here you go, madam." I said keeping the plate on the bed and settling in myself.

"Thank you, sir." She looked at me.

"Always at your service."

"Oh my! They are so cute! Dhruv, they are lovely!" She looked at the pizzas and then at me.

"I'm glad you like them, now eat before they get cold."

"Uhm..." she took a bite and closed her eyes, taking it the flavour.

"So yummy!" She forwarded one to me.

"Nope, all for you. I'm not hungry."

"Alright, don't say I didn't ask."

I laughed looking at her childish behaviour.

"You know, I have never in my life had a midnight snack."

"Really?"

"Yea....if I got up in the middle of the night and went in the kitchen, everyone would get up and scold me then....so I never did it."

"What if you felt hungry at night? Then?"

"I just ignored it.... sometimes I used to keep something like biscuits in my room...but once mom found them and scolded me for that too."

I don't know what to say. How has she lived like this all these years?

"Now you can. Whenever you feel like doing anything, just tell me. Okay?"

"I know." She looked at me and smiled.

"But even after everything.....I don't think I can truly hate them." She said.

Of course. She's just that good a person. That's what I like the most about her.

"I know. We can never really hate our parents.....no matter what they do....that's just how this relationship is. You keep loving them because they are your parents."

"Hm...they are not bad people..."

"Because there's no such thing as bad people....?"

She nodded thoughtfully, "We're all just people who sometimes do bad things...." She looked at me, "Look at you quoting Ryle of all people."

"Why....he was the perfect guy if we take away the anger part from him."

I do read a lot of novels. And I have read the infamous 'It ends with us'.

I know she reads too.

"Uhmm...he is, but I didn't know you read."

"I love reading. ln London, I even have a home office kum reading room."

"Woww! I can't wait to see it!"

"You will, darling. Soon. Now eat peacefully."

It is all for her after all.

When she was almost finished, I asked,
"Accha, now will you tell me what's on your phone that made you so happy?"

I mean, I was curious....

She took the last bite and kept the plate aside and came closer to me.

"I got the job."

OH....

"You did!? Congratulations, Aalu!"

I knew it! She deserves it!

I hugged her tightly and a kiss on her head.

"I'm going to start in two days."

"That's great, but they e-mailed you in the middle of the night?"

"No, they did it around 8 but I didn't check. I did not think they'll make the decision so soon..."

"Yea that's right...but anyhow we need to celebrate! Tomorrow is Saturday....let's go for dinner."

She deserves it!

"Okay!"

Here's another chapter!
