Brewing the essence of love

Chapter 63

Koyal's POV

It was almost 3 in the morning I was still eagerly waiting for Vardhaan's message. Seems like Abhi is still not asleep. All my plans are gonna go in waste I guess. I was just about to sleep when my phone vibrated.

"Will be on the terrace in 5 mins." A smile made its way on my face. "No, be there in 30 mins." I have to change plans now. Uff. I got up from the chair, and took a few things with me in my handbag and changed in a red satin saree. I very quietly got ready as I did not want to wake up Anaya. I tiptoed out of the room and reached the terrace. I was supposed to be there before him, and wait for him, but he reached before me. Aww, another plan failed. I was about to be sad when another idea popped in my brain.

I quietly entered the terrace and close the door, very quietly and moved towards him. He was facing the opposite side, seeing what in this dark I don't know. I went near him and hugged him from the back. He got started from my touch but then said, "So you did ask for a secret date night." "Maybe" I replied as I left him and he turned towards me.

"wow you look really beautiful and dressed up for this hour of night. If someone sees you right now they could easily be misled into believing that you are some beautiful witch." He commented. Did he compliment me or gave me a backhand compliment, or made fun of me? Anyways ignoring his comment I spoke, "My dear husband would you like to go on a long drive with me?" He looked surprised. Guess he never guessed that I would say something like this to him. "I would love to my dear wife." He replied in an instance. I held his hand and said "Let's go then" and pulled him, and he followed. We silently went out of the house.

"Koyal atleast let me grab my keys." He said.

"I already did that" I replied.

"You came all prepared huh!" He commented

"I did" I replied.

"Hmm, guess my wife really wants to go on a long drive with me. Didn't know you loved drives with me so much." He said, giving me his breath taking smile that melted my heart every time I saw it.

"I do" I replied with utmost sincerity. Not only drives, I love everything with him. "I will drive today." I declared as we reached near the car. "Sure" he agreed in a beat. I thought since it was his favorite car he wouldn't let me drive, and throw lots of tantrums. I also had another car's key with me, but he agreed on the very first time. I did not need to explain him anything. I just said and he complied. We got settled in the car and I started to drive.

Vardhaan's POV

"Meet me at the terrace" that's what she messaged me and my heart did a few summersaults. Like Koyal is asking to meet me in secret. I need to write this date in my calendar. I immediately wanted to run to the terrace but I just could not leave my little brother alone. I have never seen him this serious, this grown up.

I wanted to run to my wife, yet I could not leave Abhi alone in this state. My heart yearned to see Koyal, as well as see Abhi, at ease. Both the situations and people needed me, and I knew what was more important. Abhinav at this moment was more important than Koyal right now.

I have not said Abhi anything to comfort him or anything, but I still want to be with him, to let him know that no matter how much older he becomes, how much mature he behaves, his elder brother will always be there with him. Abhi also as such has not asked me to stay but he appreciates me being here.

Slowly as the time passed he dozed off. I took a blanket and covered him. Finally I took my phone and messaged Koyal, "Will be on the terrace in 5 mins." And she replied in a beat, "No, be there in 30 mins." I smiled at it and texted sure thing. I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror. I look okish only. Maybe I need to shave a little anyways I got some time. I went to the bathroom and took Abhi's shaving kit and trimmed my stubble. I also washed my face properly. I looked at myself again in the mirror and fixed my hair. I would have changed as well but Anaya is in our room so I can't. Anyways, I sprayed some cologne kept on the dressing table. Hm, I do look okay, just that this t-shirt and lower are not giving date vibe.
