Dharani POV
*************
Finally we reached the hotel only to find it surrounded by media. Seeing them, I felt uncomfortable.
Akash sensed it and he held me by my waist with his one hand while patting my hand with his another
hand. That calmed me down. He really knows very well about me.
"Relax Angel, don't get scared. Just smile and walk ahead. I am with you" he said while holding my
waist possessively.
Soon the media people gathered flashing the camera light on us and taking our pictures. Oh god I am
going to get blind soon.
One reporter asked "Congratulations sir, you won the best entrepreneur award this year. How are you
feeling?"
"Yea, I am very happy. This is all because of my dad, Atul Mehra. He is my inspiration since my
childhood" Akash said to him smiling.
Another reporter asked "Sir, who is this beautiful lady in your arms?"
Another reporter asked "Sir, is it true that you got married?"
"Yes I married a month ago and she is my beautiful wife Mrs. Dharani Akash Mehra" he said with a
smile on his face which made my heart flutter.
Another reporter asked "Sir, why did you get married all of sudden? Why didn't you inform the media?"
"We suddenly got married due to some personal matter. So I had no time to inform the media. But soon
I'm going to introduce my wife to the whole world. I will invite all my business friends and the media"
Akash said to him.
I am shocked. Akash is going to introduce me as his wife to the whole world? I don't understand why is
he doing this? Is he really regretting for his doings in past? Should I trust him? Can I give him a
chance?
Another reporter asked "Sir, is this arranged marriage or love marriage?"
"This is arranged cum love marriage" Akash replied.
Another female reporter asked "Sir your wife is really beautiful. What she is doing? What's her
qualifications? Is she working?"
Oh god! What will Akash answer now? I studied only till 12 standard. My tauji did not allow me to study
further. Now because of me, Akash is going to face embarrassment. I know when he will definitely
scold me for this we return home.
"We should leave now. No more questions, we are getting late for party. Thanks for coming here"
Akash said sternly.
We give pose to Media and left from there.
We entered the party hall. It was very grand. I was staring in awe at the beautiful decorations. I looked
at the people mingling around with drinks in hand. The whole building was decorated with gold and red
curtains hanging from the ceiling, draped over the corners to give the rectangular room, a softer look. In
the center of the room was a grand chandelier. It was the only source of light, since all the windows
were covered by drapes. The chandelier was large enough to light up the entire room and gave it a
new life.
The floors were spotless white marble. There were so many white and red roses decorating the hall. I
noticed a small instrumental ensemble in one corner. I looked around the room again. There was not a
single spot which wasn't glimmering in the light. It was breathtaking. There were a considerable
number of tables which were decorated to perfection. Across the tables was a cleared space, which I
assumed was a dance floor. Wow! My husband is very rich.
"Its beautiful" I whispered.
"Not more than you angel" Akash whispered in my ear making me blushed.
"Akash, congratulations man. Glad you finally arrived!" a man came out of nowhere and greeted Akash.
He looked to be about Akash age. He walked to us and gave Akash a brotherly hug. He was dressed in
a fancy tuxedo.
"Thanks Varun" Akash said and he returned the hug while I just stood there by Akash side, observing
them.
"I am so happy for you" Varun said before his eyes landed on me.
"Varun, meet my beautiful wife, Dharani Akash Mehra" he introduced me to Varun. I smiled warmly at
him.
"Hello, I'm Varun Sharma. Your husband's friend and business partner" he said.
"Hello, I'm Dharani, nice to meet you" I said softly to him.
"And I already know you must be a beautiful lady because you managed to steel my arrogant friend's
heart" Varun said and winked at Akash.
Stole Akash heart?! Yeah right! I thought sarcastically.
"I'm glad to finally meet you. This arrogant man over here, has been hiding you from the world. Now
that I've finally met you, I'm so happy" Varun said.
Yes, because I'm his maid and he is embarrassed of me! I thought to myself.
I didn't reply, because I had no idea whether he was praising me or insulting me. However, I did start to
get uncomfortable.
Akash sensing this, wrapped his arm around me, securing me to him.
"Don't tease my wife otherwise I won't hesitate to complain to your wife" Akash said to him in a warning
tone.
"Ok ok man, I am not teasing your wife" Varun said. His phone starting ringing, so he excused himself
and left.
We heard the award announcement and Akash went onto the stage. He looked at me while I was
clapping my hands . I am really happy for his success, my husband won the best entrepreneur award.
'Really my husband??' My mind asked.
'Yes, my husband! Now shut up and let me watch award function' I said to my mind.
I was smiling and finding him looking at me amused. I lowered my gaze.
Everyone asked him to speak and share the reason behind his success. He took the mike and starting
speaking.
"Good evening everyone. I am so happy today, I will never forgot this day in my life. I want to dedicate
this award to my dad. He is my inspiration since my childhood. Though my mom she is no more in this
world, her blessing are always with me. I even want to thank my employees who played a large part in
my success and worked hard. Thanks to all those who helped me to reach this stage.
Last but not the least.
I would like to mention the name of a person who is the reason for my success. She is my lucky
charms and its none other than my beloved wife, Mrs.Dharani Akash Mehra"
The lights were focused on me. I am hell nervous. I am not used to this type of attention.
"And I want to receive this award from my wife, so Dharani please come on to the stage" Akash said.
I stoop up nervously and walked to the stage. I started sweating. Akash forwarded his hand out for me
and I gave my hand to him.
He took me to the stage and started speaking. "She is the light in my dark life. Without her I can't even
breathe properly. She is my angel. I love you angel! Thanks for coming in my life" he said directly
looking at my eyes. His eyes held so much love and affection which I longed since my childhood. My
heart melted that second. Tears are flowing in my eyes.
Suddenly a man stoop up handing me the award and asked me present it to Akash.
I held the award and handed it over to him. "Congratulations Akash!" I told him because he deserves
my wish. He looked at me smiling and received the award.
"Thanks angel" he said while smiling happily. Everyone were clapping their hands and looked at us
adoringly. I blushed and lowered my gaze. We came out of the stage.
For the next thirty minutes, Akash greeted and introduced me to almost everyone who were present at
the function. I tried my best to smile and talk to people without embarrassing myself.
Akash never left his hand from my waist. Sometimes he is even making different patterns on my bare
back. I felt different sensation in my body whenever he touched me. I felt sparks fly whenever he
looked at me with love. The next hour consisted of a wonderful dinner. Soon we finished our meal.
"Lets dance?" Akash asked me.
"I don't know how to dance" I said to him nervously.
"No problem, I am there for you naa? I will teach you everything, come" he said and I gave my hand to
him. He took me to the stage.
Soon all lights were off. Only dim lights were on. Its very difficult to see the couples dancing.
The song starts.....
Akash held me by my waist and guided me my hands to his shoulder. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
{The journey of my eyes stops on reaching you
What else remains to say?
I have said all that I wanted to say}
I was standing like a statue. It was Akash who was moving me here and there teaching me the steps
and I was following him like a five year old kid.
We were lost in each others eyes.
{Since you have come,
My dreams have gone mad
My moments are flying
Out of reach of my hands}
Then Akash spin me and my bare back was touching his hard rock chest.
I want to know whether he has 6 packs or 8 packs?
Then he suddenly planted wet kisses on my bare back, shoulder and neck.
Oh god! What is he doing to me? I can't take this sensation in my body.
{My laughter is because of you
My happiness is because of you
You are unaware, O ungrateful one}
We were not dancing, we were just moving slowly. Akash turned to me and hugged me. He slowly
kisses my shoulder and I tightened my grip in his shirt.
{The day I don't see you,
I roam like mad}
Akash kissed my neck romantically. He continued giving me small kisses every now and then.
Then Akash stopped his romantic torture. We both looked at each other.
He kiss my forehead, eyes, cheeks and then stared at my lips. I was breathing heavily. He was looking
intently at my lips asking for my permission. I don't know what took me over but I closed my eyes and
wanted his lips on mine.
Akash captured my lips with his in a deep passionate kiss. But I don't know how to kiss. He broke the
kiss and looked at me.
"I... I don't know how to....k.... kiss" I told him and my cheeks turned red due to embarrassment.
"Oh, My innocent cute angel" he said and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes in reflex.
The music stopped. We bid bye to others and left the party. We sat on the car and he drove us home.
I had my fist kiss. Yeah he kissed me before but it was just a peck but this is a proper kiss. I was
thinking about the kiss and my cheeks got brick red.
"Don't blush angel" I heard him saying and blushed more.
We went home and I changed my clothes in his room, no our room while he changed in the guest
room. I changed to a saree since I don't wear nighties or PJs. He came to our room and looked at me.
"Angel, why you wear saree at night?" he asked me.
"Because I don't like wear nighties" I told him and laid on the bed.
He didn't said anything and slept on bed, not before kissing my forehead and wishing me good night. I
wished him back and slept on the other side.
