A Baker And A Billionaire (Completed)

Chapter 54

Sivaangi was sitting comfortably in a living room, sipping a glass of
juice alongside her brother Akash. The stream of sunlight highlighted the cozy atmosphere, and for a moment, Sivaangi felt a sense of peace.

Akash, engrossed in his juice, was chatting away about his favorite cartoon characters, oblivious to the weight of their situation. Sivaangi smiled, listening intently, trying to absorb every moment with her brother.

Just then, A voice broke the tranquility, "Your tickets are ready, Sivaangi. The flight is today at 7 o'clock."

Sivaangi's heart skipped a beat as she turned to face Dharshan, who was standing in the doorway with a sympathetic expression. His eyes conveyed a mix of understanding and concern, as if he knew the turmoil she was going through.

Akash, sensing the sudden tension, looked up at Sivaangi with curious eyes. Sivaangi forced a reassuring smile, trying to shield him from the uncertainty that lay ahead.

Dharshan's words hung in the air, a reminder that their departure. Sivaangi felt a pang of anxiety, her mind racing with thoughts of what lay ahead. She glanced at Akash, who was still sipping his juice, unaware of the significant change.

Dharshan entered the room, his eyes clouded with concern. He walked towards her and stood there gently caressed her hair, his touch comforting her. Then, he placed the ticket in her hand, his movements deliberate.

"Be safe, Sivaangi," he whispered, his voice laced with worry. "I still can't shake off the feeling that you're making a mistake. I don't want to see you hurt. Why don't you change your decision?"

Sivaangi looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears while she nodded her horizontally. He continued,

"As your brother, I'll support you, no matter what," Dharshan continued, his voice firm. "But if Ashwin finds out about this, he'll kill me for sure."

Sivaangi nodded, a faint, sad smile on her lips. She took Dharshan's hand and placed it on her head, seeking his protection and promise.

"Promise me, you'll keep my secret, Dharsha!!" she whispered, her voice trembling. "No matter what happens, don't tell Ashwin about my stay in Bangalore."

Dharshan nodded, his expression unreadable. Then, he enveloped her in a warm, brotherly embrace, his arms holding her close.

As Dharshan released Sivaangi from the hug, Akash, who had been quietly observing the scene, got down from the couch and approached Sivaangi.

"Sivu, where are we going?" Akash asked, his curious eyes looking up at Sivaangi.

Sivaangi knelt down to Akash's level, a gentle smile on her face. "We're going to Bangalore, Akash. We'll be staying there for a while."

Akash's eyes widened with excitement. "Bangalore? I've never been there! Is it fun?"

Sivaangi nodded, trying to reassure him. "Yes, it's a great place. You'll make new friends and see new things. And we'll be together, okay?"

Akash nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer. But then his expression turned serious. "Sivu, why do we have to go? Why can't we stay here with Ashwin? And Moni."

Sivaangi's heart skipped a beat as she struggled to find the right words. She didn't want to lie to Akash, but she couldn't tell him the truth either.

"Akash, We are going there for a work." she explained, trying to simplify the complex emotions. "And Ashwin and Moni come once in a month to see us. I promise. We'll be happy in Bangalore."

Akash looked up at her, his eyes searching for answers. Sivaangi hoped that he would understand, even if he didn't fully comprehend the situation.

He nodded, seemingly convinced by Sivaangi's explanation. "Okay, Sivu. I trust you."
