Tangled Love

Epilogue

The clock strikes 12 and Aditya looks beside him to find his wife sleeping not caring about the world. Propping on his elbow he admires Akshita with a smile. She is nestling her face in his bicep holding his hand in a light yet firm grip. Hair sprawled on the bed. Face calm and serene devoid of any tension and worries. Curve of her eye lashes resting on her cheeks and lips forming a pout.

He tucks a strand of hair lock and strokes her cheek softly to break her sleep. Cradling her face he keeps her head on his chest to get a better view of her.

"Jaan wake up" Aditya whispers patting
on her cheek and her forehead crease.

Akshita's eyes flutter open and she scrunch her nose in annoyance. She blinks and look at her husband's smiling face at the midnight hour which irks her.
Groaning she shove her palm on his handsome face for disturbing her sleep which leaves Aditya off-guard.

"Get lost. Let me sleep" Mumbling this Akshita gets back to her sleep, turning to the other side.

With the jaw hung low Aditya tries to process what just happened a while ago. His sighs seeing Akshita asleep again. Without thinking much he pulls her making her sit on the bed.

"Adityaaaa kya chahiye apko----" Akshita's yell comes to halt when Aditya forwards a bouquet of white roses to her and the realisation dawns upon her.

"Happy Anniversary sleeping queen" Aditya states pecking her lips and Akshita widen her eyes in shock.

She rubs her eyes to get rid of the sleep and glances at the wall which shows 12:05 Grabbing her phone she checks the date to make sure it's right.

"Happy Anniversary Adi. And I am sorry" Akshita wishes pressing a kiss on his cheek and rest her head on his shoulder.

"Hmm I thought you were here for sleep"

"You know I love my sleep too much"

"More than me ?" Akshita becomes still on his question and she lifts her face to match their gaze. Amusement ghosting through his eyes.

Akshita fights with her thought whether to answer him back or not. Well she does admit her feelings for him but she hasn't expressed her feelings to him. Neither he did. Somewhere she feels scared to get disappointed again but her heart screams the opposite.

Before she could muster up the courage to speak Aditya gets up and says " I have something for us"

Akshita watch him disappear from the room with a smile. They are in Bali right now in a villa which Aditya lend on rent for their stay. For a much needed vacation and to celebrate their Second wedding anniversary. Promising to do everything that they have missed doing before.

Aditya enters the room with a small sized chocolate cake with a candle on it. He place it on the bed infront of them.

"You made it ?" Akshita ponders seeing the appearance of the cake and Aditya shake his head in approval.

"Thank you" Akshita responds feeling touched with his small gestures. It's the smallest gestures which matters the most and depicts his affection towards her.

"Don't get emotional now. Let's cut the cake together" Aditya takes hold of her hand and they together slice the cake.

Aditya feeds the cake to her first and she praise him in return. As Akshita extends her hand to feed him the cake he stops her hand in the mid air.
