A Baker And A Billionaire (Completed)

Chapter 5

Into the story :

Monisha listened attentively, her eyes filled with concern. "Sivu, you deserve someone who will love and respect you for who you are. If Ashwin is genuinely interested in you, he'll understand your fears and earn your trust."

Sivaangi nodded, her mind racing with thoughts. "You're right, Moni. I need someone who will be patient and understanding. But I can't able to trust someone this soon."

Just then, Aisha's message popped up on Sivaangi's phone. "Hey, Sivaangi! I had a great time chatting with you today. Would love to grab coffee and continue our conversation soon?"

Sivaangi smiled, feeling a connection with Aisha. "Hey, Aisha! I'd love that. Let me know when you're free, and we'll plan something."

As Sivaangi chatted with Aisha, Ashwin's thoughts lingered in her mind. She couldn't deny the spark between them, but her fears and doubts held her back. Little did she know, Ashwin was determined to win her heart and prove his love.

Meanwhile, Ashwin sat in his car, replaying the evening's events in his mind. He couldn't help but smile as he thought of Sivaangi and Akash.

Ashwin : " I will protect you both at any cost "

He knew he had to be patient and gentle in his approach, but he was willing to do whatever it took to be a part of their lives.

As the night drew to a close, Sivaangi, Ashwin, and Aisha each drifted off to sleep, unaware of the twists and turns fate had in store for them.

The next day, Aisha walked into the cozy cafe at the evening , a bright smile on her face.

Sivaangi and Monisha looked up from their conversation, delighted to see their new friend. "Aisha , Welcome back!" Monisha  exclaimed, as Aisha plopped down in the chair beside them. While sivaangi smiled subtly at them.

"Hey, girls! I'm so glad we're meeting again. I feel like we're going to have so much fun together!" Aisha grinned.

" Totally! We're like a trio now. The three musketeers!" Aisha laughed, her eyes sparkling.

"Exactly! And I have a feeling our friendship is going to be epic." The girls cheered expect sivaangi who laughed at their antics and brought a coffee for the three of them.

As it was close to 3.30 , there was no custome's arrival.

They sipped their drinks, Monisha and Aisha started teasing Sivaangi playfully. "Come on, Sivaangi, tell us about your crush!" Monisha joked.

Aisha chimed in, "Did you ever proposed to someone?" Sivaangi blushed, but her friends' infectious energy drew her in.

"Okay, okay...I once liked a boy in primary school , when I confronted my crush over him , the next day he left the school!" Monisha and Aisha laughed loudly.

Sivaangi : Hey don't laugh at me, she twisted her lips in embarassment...

Monisha : Okay , okay. Then , answer my question, she insisted

Sivaangi : Epdiyo nee enna vidamatta na answer pandra varaikum  , she glared at Monisha.

" I have a huge crush on a guy " she said just then aisha spotted her brother walking inside the cafe through a mirror which was hanging opposite to her. She got up from the chair quickly and dragged Monisha with her and hid behind the counter making sivaangi confused.

Ashwin walked into the cafe, scanning the empty room for a familiar face. His eyes landed on Sivaangi, who looked confused and a bit amused sitting in a two seater cushion.

"Hey, Sweetheart, whatsup ? I think you are chilling alone without any customers" he asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Don't worry my peace got disturbed the moment you walked in" she threw her comment back making Ashwin laugh in delight.

Sivaangi's heart skipped a beat, when Ashwin took a seat beside brushing his knees with her knees. She felt a flutter in her chest , her skin tingling with the accidental contact.

He draped an arm over the cushion, his hand hovering near her shoulder, and Sivaangi felt a sense of protection wash over her at his gentle gesture. She couldn't explain why, but his presence made her feel safe, like he was shielding her from the world.

"So, Sweetheart what do you like to do for fun otherthan baking and cooking ?" Ashwin asked, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled.

Sivaangi's thoughts scrambled to respond, her mind foggy from the proximity.

"Uh...music...and...books, what about ... you....." she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. Ashwin's arm shifted, his hand brushing against her shoulder, sending a shiver down her spine.

Sivaangi's heart fluttered, her soul soaring at the connection they shared.

Ashwin : I love to read books and i can sing a little. He said shyly.

She gave him shocked expression and she forget about everything and excitement took over her.

Sivaangi : Seriously!Can you sing for me ? She asked like a child with pleading eyes.

Ashwin : Why not ? Anything for you my girl. Ashwin chirped and winked at her.

Sivaangi missed to notice the endearment due the excitement.

" Be ready at 8pm tomorrow, I am going sing a song for you". He declared while she squealed.

Meanwhile , Aisha held her breath, hiding behind the shelf, her eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before her.

Sivaangi and Ashwin continued their conversation at the cafe, laughing and chatting. Just then, Aisha popped out from behind the shelf, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

"Surprise" !!!.. she shouted jumping infront of ashwin who stood up from the couch abruptly and moved towards aisha.  

Ashwin's eyes widened in shock seeing his sister, "Aisha! What the...how did you...?" Ashwin stuttered, his face pale with surprise. Aisha chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You didn't think I'd let you get away with not knowing me, did you, Ashwin?"

Sivaangi looked at the duo with pure confusion. She was confused about their relationship.

Sivaangi's eyes darted between Ashwin and Aisha, her expression a mix of confusion and curiosity. "Wait, what's going on here? How do you two know each other?" she asked, her voice laced with bewilderment.

Aisha's grin grew wider as she walked over to Ashwin and held his arm , sivaangi saw the way she held him and her stomach churned a little.

Aisha's eyes gleaming with mischief. "Oh, Ashwin and I have a long history, Sivaangi. We're siblings, actually."

Sivaangi's eyes widened in surprise. "Siblings?! But...but you're...". Aisha chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement and sivaangi let out a sigh.

"Yes, I'm Aisha, Ashwin's little sister. And I've been hiding in plain sight, watching you two get cozy. You two really look good together"

Ashwin's face turned bright red as he glared at Aisha, his eyes pleading with her to stop teasing. Sivaangi's mind raced with questions, her thoughts whirling with confusion.

"But...but why didn't you say anything, Ashwin? And why were you hiding, Aisha?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
