A LITTLE BETTER🤍

E V A R A

I fell asleep as well and when I woke up, he wasn't around.

"Nevan...NEVAN" I called out and finally he came in holding a cup that smelled like coffee.

"I am here" He said sitting next to me.

Something inside me was changed, when I was thinking what he is to me, the word 'Love' echoed way too much.

I unknowingly kept looking at him until he nudged me.

"What are you thinking?"

"Just....How to handle Papa" I lied.

"You don't need to, he has settled with the fact that I won't let him take you away. I need my daily dose of Evara, he already had you all these years" He said as I couldn't stop thinking about my feelings.

His touch gives me a kind of happiness, those fingers when they draw uncertain patterns on my skin, they make me feel like an art. His kisses draw me to another world, and those eyes, they call me closer every time I look into them. Am I in love?

"Nevan, can I ask you something?"

He gave a nod and pulled me on his lap.

"How does real love feel?" I asked as he narrowed his eyes at me.

"When you feel like you can't live without that person, you need him or her infront of you when the day ends and also when the day starts. They are your peace, home, life and basically everything" His gaze was fixed on me.

"How do you know?"

He turned all silent and just then Tanya barged in without any notice.

I jumped off his lap as Tanya smiled at us sheepishly.

"Guys, are you going back to India anytime soon? Because I have got a mini vacation andddd....I can maybe join?" She asked and I jumped out of happiness.

"Ofcourse" I squealed and looked at Nevan.

"Hum nahi le jaa rahe" He was being rude for no reason.

"Phir hum bhi nahi aa rahe" I snapped back.

He sighed heavily and gave me a look.

"Theek hai, le chalo" He said smiling, this guy loves to tease me.

We are on our way back, I am a bit scared of the family.

Parag looks happier today and so does Tara but Rekha isn't visible anywhere.

"Rekha kaha hai?" I asked.

"Hukum ne unhe Kundan Mahal ka khyaal rakhne bhej diya hai" Tara replied being a bit sad.

I looked at Nevan but he didn't care, bitch.

"Rekha wapis nahi aayi toh hum baat nahi kar rahe aapse, ya kisi se bhi" I said eyeing the three of them.

Nevan took a deep breath but didn't say anything. Karlo marzi ki, mujhe kya? Mai bhi phir apni chalaungi...

"We are about to land" Parag informed as we fastened the seatbelts.

"Khamma Ghani Maa Sa" I greeted and she wrapped me in a hug.

"Ghani Khamma" She replied and so did Baba Sa.

"We all need to sit and talk first. Radhya, Rudrika this is Tanya, Evara's friend. Show her around the place" Nevan instructed and the three girls ran away like maniacs.

We reached the study and saw Papa and Maa already sitting there.

Maa looked happy but Papa didn't.

"Is this a way Evara?" Papa asked and I stayed silent.

"Change the tone Div" Baba Sa said.

"Ok...She ran away" Papa said harshly.

"It was because of you" Maa argued and soon they all were back to the arguments.

I closed my eyes and tried to act normal.

"CALM DOWN" Nevan shouted as they all turned silent.

"She ran away due to this, can we talk like adults for once? Why are we trying to snatch her away from eachother? She is our family!" He was as frustrated as me.

"Have you decided yet?" Papa asked and that was my last straw.

"Are you serious Papa? You asked me to marry him and I did, now when we get along, we have eachother in all situations, when we finally feel like this is working, you have to give me options? I am your daughter but I am also his wife, ok I give you choices, me or mumma?" I knew the answer.

"You both are important to me" He replied.

"See? You get us both but I have to choose one, why? Why can't I have both?" I asked and he chuckled.

"I love your mother, you both don't love eachother" He stated and I couldn't stop myself from speaking now.

"I love him"

"I love her"

We both spoke together, I looked at him and the shock was plastered on both of us.

Papa was taken aback and so was everyone else.

"Are you serious?" Papa asked and I gave a nod.

Maa and Maa Sa gave me a tight hug.

"You both should go and rest" Maa Sa said and I got up to leave.

We walked back to the chamber and the silence was not helping at all, we got in and I locked the door and was immediately pinned to the door by him.

"You have a lot to say" His tone was different.

"Same goes for you" I responded as he quickly picked me up and dropped me on the bed.

"Speak" He commanded laying over me and placing his head on my breasts.

"I love you, I don't know how it happened but yeah...I am getting addicted, like you have to be around me or I might lose my mind. If you don't touch me, I feel uneasy. If you don't kiss me then I feel useless" I replied and he smiled widely.

He pecked my lips but it turned into a heated makeout.

"I love you, I love you so so so much Evi. I can worship you for my whole life and other 6 as well, I can destroy everything you dislike and I can earn everything you like. A word from you and I am on missions" He said and for the first time I saw him this serious.

"Kundan Mahal chal sakte hai?" I asked and he immediately sulked.

"Yaar tumhe bas Rekha nazar aa rahi hai" He complained and was about to leave when I stopped him.

"Arre...Yaha sab log hai, waha koi nahi hoga na. Isiliye keh rahi hu ki raat ko chalte hai, just you and me" I explained.

He smiled widely and immediately ran out, Ajeeb toh hai mera Pati.

He came back and I almost saw him jumping out of happiness.

"Sirf guards ko bola hai waha rukne, also I informed Maa Sa about it and a little surprise is waiting for you"

I chuckled at his impatience and pecked his forehead.

"This feels so right" I muttered cuddling in his arms.

"Well...It is for the right" He said and finally we could cuddle for hours.
