My Bodyguard

23

I grinned, leaning on Aarav and he had his arm wrapped around me, leaning on my head.

"That's— so cute. I hate you. You guys are so cute!" Sugar shrieked, taking mine and Aarav's picture.

We were at my graduation!

I have my own graduation and I was wearing a saree that I always wanted to. I never worn a saree so I bought one.

It was a off white beaded saree with a floral blouse and I had my hair up, wearing big earrings.

Aarav kept staring at me the whole time and kissed me for a while, holding me on his lap while I blushed so hard.

I think he liked it.

The whole cafe gang was here, taking pictures with me and Aarav was being the photographer, taking our picture.

I'm so blessed to have a group of friends that supports me and my husband that gives me everything.

"You better give my wife a raise." Aarav said looking at Joe and I bulged my eyes at Aarav, shaking my head.

"I have—

"You won't let your wife work longer. You'll actually punch me." Joe retorted back that made Henry and Sugar chuckle.

"You know me well."

"Obviously." Joe shrugged and I stared at the both of them.

"So.. am I getting a raise?" I questioned and the both of them looked at me. Aarav looked at Joe and Joe had a straight face.

"You made us famous on the map, queue until outside the cafe— everyone gets a raise but Ira gets slightly better." I grinned, cheering with the gang and Aarav cracked a smile, making me glance at him.

"Same hours."

"Not a minute longer." Joe put his arms up in surrender and I chuckled, thanking Joe.

I sat beside Aarav, having dinner at the restaurant we went the other day. I was celebrated for graduating and honestly, what I studied wasn't as big as a Diploma or anything amazing but I'm grateful.

I'm so grateful that I'm celebrated for my smallest wins and appreciated so much.

Aarav kept on holding my hand the whole night, making me stare at him that had a small smile while watching Henry and Sugar bicker while Joe was trying to break them off.

He's still the man of few words but it's different when he's with me.

I noticed how much he talks with me— not as much but still better than normal. I like both.

"Thank you for giving me education and supported me through the course. I really appreciate it." I mumbled, holding on Aarav's hand and he was staring at me, having a small smile.

"It's nothing. You deserve everything." He kisses on top of my head, wrapping his arm around me.

"Awh, you guys are so cute. I feel like dying." Sugar said that made me chuckle and Henry was staring at her.
