Love never dies a natural death. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds. It dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

However no matter how wronged Akshara felt toward him and what happened 6 years ago, she can't say that she has moved on ...

Kiara suggested trying to go on dates and explore the dating scene, but Akshara never felt the need.

After putting the kids to sleep, Akshara and Kiara finally got to chill together while watching a movie and putting their face mask on for their skin night routine.

" Akshuuu i know you don't like celebrating your birthday, but i had to do it !! 30 is a milestone and Abhir was bugging us about celebrating your birthday !!!"

" I know sis ... It's just that it brings up memories from the past ..."

" Sweetie... I know, but maybe it will be more useful to create new happy memories with us na ?"

" Yes, you are absolutely right ! My betu was so happy, it was worth it !! Thank youu " Akshu said while hugging Kiara tightly.

" Okay enough of this, tell me about your day. Is your boss still alive or did you finally kill him ? "

" How cold !!! You should enjoy my love and affection or I will replace you with someone else" Akshara replied with her tongue out like a kid.

Kiara just rolled her eyes, used to her antics.

" And to reply to your question nop i didn't kill him today, actually a man hotter than hell saved him today !"

Kiara almost choked up with the tea that she was drinking.

" I am sorry what ???? it's been years that you haven't looked at a man like that ! He must be really HOT to have you react like that !"

" Girl, trust me if I was in my early twenties and without experience I think I would have been in love at first sight !"

" Damn girl ! Tell me more !! " replayed Kiara while stuffing her mouth with popcorn.

" Well, i was as usual minding my own business doing my job and trying not to kill my boss"

" Hum hum " a fully invested Kiara shakes her head.

" Turns out the man who we had a meeting with, and who I thought will be a man in his sixties, turns out to be in his thirties ! With a body of a GQ model, and a face who can be the one of the finest actors out there ! Let me tell you I was speechless, I was blushing so hard !"

" No way I don't trust you !!! Men with power and who are also good looking exist only in books ! there is no way !!"

" I know right !! Most of them are even ugly ! But not this one i swear Kiara !!"

" I trust you Akshu, but yeah he must have flaws like everyone else. Maybe he had weird kinks, " smirked Kiara.

" Ewwww what kind of kinks ?? I mean Rina Kent made us like fictional men with questionable morals so yeah we are not in position to judge Hahahahaha" The girls started laughing.

" You are right but fiction is fiction, real men are another story ! "

Aksu sight " I know sis ... "

" Anyways, what did this man do to save your Boss' life from you today ?"

" He hired me. "

".............." Kiara looked at Akshu , speechless.

Akshara started eating her popcorn.

" WTF, what kind of plot twist is that ???"

" Shuuuut don't scream or the kids will wake up !!"
