𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭

Update is here!

A small que : Do you'll want this book short (80-90 ch) or long (90-105 ch)?

Ik 80-90 ch are not short but keeping the length of of the chapters in mind, I think it would atleast take these many chapters for the book to be completed.

Enjoy!

Author's Pov

After breakfast was over, everyone went to do their respective duties. But Akshita couldn't help but recall her Husband's endearing help in the morning. Even when she was with Amira, she was distracted the whole time, smiling like an idiot for no reason. Amira looked at her and could not control the urge to ask her. "Esehi Bhabhi!" Yeah, that's what she replied. Well, somewhere or other, Amira already knew the reason but did not say it out loud.

Currently, Akshita was in Kritika's room, as Kritika showed her the books she loved reading. "And the last but not the least, 'The palace of illusions.' This is the best book I've read till now!" Kritika held out the book, her eyes shining like stars. She held it near her chest.

"Oh, this book? Yug also has this in his mini library," Akshita said, not realising that her words caused Kritika to make a bad face.
"Bhabhi, sorry to say, but aapka bhai na ek number ka bandar hai!" She laughed at their never ending war.

(Your brother is totally a monkey!)

"Voh toh hai!" Akshita joined her, as they burst out laughing together. "But I think you both should also become friends, shouldn't you?" Akshita suggested, and Kritika widened her eyes dramatically. "Friends?!" She stretched the word long enough. "Friend kya, mein toh dushman bhi na banu!" She said, while letting out a scoff.

(That's true!)

(I won't even become his enemy!)

As they were engaged in their conversation, they heard a knock, grabbing their attention. "Maa, aap bahar kyu khadi hai? Ander aaiye," Akshita shifted a little on the bed to make space for her. "Aree nhi nhi, I just wanted to have a talk with you if you're free..." She stood up noticing the tense expressions on her face.

(Why are you standing outside? Come inside)

"Ji, kahiye," Chahat looked at Kritika before diverting her gaze back to Akshita. "Yahan nhi, mere kamre mein," Akshita nodded at Kritika, as they both departed.

(Yes, say)

(Not here, in my room)

As they both entered her room, Akshita immediately asked her, "Sab thik toh haina, maa?" Akshita couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling erupting in her chest seeing the look on her face. "Hmm, sab thik hai" Chahat smiled, providing some relief to her.

(Is everything alright?)

(Hmm, everything's okay)

"I just wanted to say ki please Aasha ki baaton ko dil se mat lagana, vo bas bahar se aisi hai," Chahat held her palm in her own, looking into her eyes with motherly expressions. Akshita shook her head, "Nhi maa, hume bilkul bura nhi laga," Chahat smiled at her gentleness.

(Please don't take Aasha's words to heart, she like that just on the outside)

(No maa, I didn't feel bad at all)

"Aur mujhe pata hai voh jald hi tumhe pasand karne lagegi. After all, nobody can resist you!" Akshita chuckled at her last sentence.

(And I know she will soon start liking you)
