You & Me ; Towards Our Forbidden Future [THE LEGACY: BOOK 1]

Chapter 45 - Engagement 3

Radhika and Prakash's Room.

"....Mr. Augustine, I have sent you your updated schedule. There are so many things left behind that needs your assistance." Manager Rong Chen reported all the pending works one by one.

"Got it. I will come to office the day after tomorrow. Organize everything till then and keep me updated. President Frederick will help you with works." Yadhav said as he stood in the balcony and watched his daughter Deepa going inside her room.

"Yes, sir" Manager Rong discussed several things with his boss and hung up shortly.

Prakash Yadhav put away his mobile and focused on the i-pad in his hand. On the screen, displayed the entire history of every member in the Murty family and their business details.

This bacame a habit to him in the recent days. His heart is always restless on the thought that he have to leave his daughter in someone else's hand tomorrow. Only by repeatedly checking their personal data and observing them could make him calm down a bit.

He can trade his wealth, but never his children's safety.

"Prakash, are you okay?" Radhika came closer and held his arm.

"Yeah, I am good." He quickly turned of the i-pad screen and comforted her.

"Don't lie. I knew you are not..." Radhika looked at her husband's face, she knew he is exhausted. He may seem okay to everyone else, but even subtle changes in him cannot escape from her eyes.

With a tender gesture, she reached out and cupped his cheek, her thumb smoothing away the creases of distress.

"You are hiding something from me, aren't you dear?" Radhika avoided his stunned gaze and hugged him, resting her head on his chest, hearing his widely beating heart.

"I..." Prakash felt like something is clenching his throat, making him unable to utter a word.

"Shh... You don't have to say it. I know you and I trust you. There might be a reason behind your decisions. And i knew, you will always chose the best for us and our children." Radhika hugged him tightly, making him feel her trust and comfort.

Prakash kept silent. He don't know what he should say to her.

He still doesn't have an answer to her.

After Radhika's hospitalisation, he knew.... The day she will wake up and ask him a question that will shatter him completely is getting closer.

He don't know how to face her....

Oh my dear.... The only place where my strength resides carries the sword that could end my life...

Before the mother in you, the husband and father in me has failed miserably.

The day you ask me for your blood,
I am powerless to give you the answer.

Oh my thee, who sees everything...

Why keeping this silence and turning blind eye to me?
