26.
Preet comes inside their room with their food in a tray. She keeps it on the table and waits for Veer to come as he is showering right now.
She looked up when she heard the door opening sound and smiled seeing Veer coming toward her in a gray t-shirt and black sweatpants.
"Why do you bring dinner in the room? We could eat in the dining room, " he asked in confusion sitting beside her on the couch.
"Vo…everyone eats early as Dadi and Chote Papa are not here. Also Aarav and Avni left for vacation last night. Only we both left for dinner, so I brought our dinner to the room," Veer nodded.
Preet serves him and for her and in silence they have their dinner.
Veer smiles when she gives him Ras Malai.
"Anything special today," Veer asked, taking a bite of it.
"Nothing just wanted to make something sweet," she told him with a slight smile on her face.
"How is it?"
"It's delicious," she felt happy seeing him enjoying the sweet.
"Why are you not eating?" he asked, seeing her collecting their dirty plates.
"I am not feeling like. You eat," she told him.
"As long as I remember you love sweets, don't you," she looked at him with raised eyes, thinking how did he know.
"Who told you this?" she asked him.
"I heard you once, telling Avni that you have a sweet tooth," he told her, shrugging his shoulders. She smiled and nodded her head.
"That I am, "
"Then why are you not eating this? It is so good," he told her.
"Hm… I just made it for you as the ingredients are not enough, " she told him and stood up with their plates to take them to the kitchen.
He held her hand and made her sit beside him. Placing the tray on the table, he fed her a sweet dish. She looked at him with a soft expression while he was feeding her lovingly with his hands.
She felt content with his sincere care for her.
What more she could ask for, right? He is what she needs.
"I will go place them in the kitchen," saying, he took the tray of their used plates and walked out leaving her lost in her thoughts.
She smiles sadly thinking how his own family wanted to hurt him. They wanted to see him suffer. They are jealous of his hard work and dedication. They envy what he has. They don't want him to be happy and peaceful in his life.
She is sitting in front of the mirror staring at his huge portrait through the mirror. And smile admiring his smile. He is looking so charming with a tiny smile on his face.
"Am I looking handsome, Biwi?"
Preet nodded in a daze but then snapped into reality and found Veer looking at her with a smirk in the mirror.
She looks away and bites her lips feeling shy under his teasing gaze. Avoiding his intense gaze on her, she began braiding her hair.
Veer smiles at her and walks near her. Standing behind her, he took her half-braided hair while staring into her beautiful eyes and began opening her hair. He ruffled them after opening the braid and slid them on her right shoulder.
She shivers as the cold air touches her bare back due to the deep neck nightgown. Veer looks at her as his eyes turn dark in desire. She felt herself shaking at the intensity he was looking at her.
She closes her eyes and arcs her back when he lightly gazes her naked back with the back of his hand. Her palm fisted the silk fabric on her thigh feeling ticklish in her lower part.
His hand moved upward toward her shoulder playing and teasing her with his hand.
Suddenly she gasped and opened her eyes in shock when he slid the string from her shoulder revealing her upper breast to him.
She turned breathless. He smirks looking at her flushed face and lightly kisses her on the nape of her neck before swiftly picking her up in his arms and moving toward their bed.
She is biting her time in excitement knowing what is coming.
"See how cute they are looking?" Preet asked, showing Avni and Aarav's photo to Veer, which they sent her after reaching Hawaii.
"Hmm," he lazily said while circling his thumb around her belly button.
"They are looking so happy. This baby will bring lots of happiness in their life," she said softly with a beautiful smile on her face.
"You seem more for the baby than them," Veer asked, chuckling at her excitement for the baby.
"oh! You have no idea how much excited I am. I love babies. They are the most beautiful and loving creatures," he smiles seeing her dreamy eyes as she talks about babies.
"So..you want a baby?" he asked her genuinely.
"Of course. Who won't? I would love to have our baby if you want," hearing her soft gentle voice, he pulled her closer making their bare bodies press against each other.
"I also wanted to see you carrying our baby. But not now, maybe later. I wanted us to spend some time with you and learn more about you before planning for the baby," She cupped his face lovingly and kissed his nose lightly.
"Whatever you want. And also we have enough time for a baby," he pecked her lips, feeling himself so lucky to have her as his life partner.
"You know I think I am falling for you," he whispered near her lips. She looks at his eyes in surprise and blinks her eyes innocently not believing her ears.
"What?" He chuckled at her surprised face and pulled her over him carefully.
"You heard it right Biwi," her lips turned into a big smile and she started kissing his face happily and lovingly.
'I love you so soo much," she said while kissing his whole face, making him chuckle at her cuteness.
The days fly away and soon the day comes when Veer was leaving for Singapore. The whole week they spend in each other's warm embrace, making passionate love at night and their days while missing each other.
They are happy in their small bubble. Their day started in each other's arms and ended in each other's arms.
Veer is packing his clothes for the trip and Preet is helping him. She has been looking sad since morning. She is feeling uneasy at the thought of being alone in the house between two evil women.
But she didn't show it to Veer. She doesn't want to worry him when he is going for important work.
"What is the time of your flight?" she asked, giving him his nicely folded pants.
"It's 8: 30 pm. I still have 4 hours," he said and then zipped up his bag.
"Let me prepare something to eat for you," she started walking away but he stopped her holding her hand.
"You don't have to worry, I will eat on the flight. I just have my lunch," he whispered in his gentle voice, wrapping his arms around her waist.
She nodded and looked down feeling sad but didn't want to show him her feelings.
Veer held her chin and made her face him. He gets worried seeing her gloomy face and soon tears begin to form in her beautiful bright eyes.
He cupped her face softly,
"What happened, Preet? " he worried asked her, lightly caressing her cheeks with his thumb.
She shook her head and hugged him tightly, hiding her face in his neck. He can feel her shaky breath against his neck. He rubs her back to calm her down.
"It's okay… relax," he whispered in her ear, making her close her eyes and a few tears drop from her eyes.
"I will miss you. Please come back soon," he chuckled softly and kissed her forehead lovingly.
"Oh..my wife will miss me this much. I don't know," he teased to make her feel better.
She pouted and lightly slapped his chest showing her fake angry face.
"Okay ok…I will come back soon," he told her, making her sigh. She placed her face on his chest and closed her eyes feeling peace and warmth in his embrace.
"I should take a shower, hmm," she nodded lazily and pulled away from him. But he pulls her back into his arms and gives her a mischievous smirk, making her heart beat loudly inside her chest.
"How about you also join me, hmm!?," he said as he picked her up and went inside the washroom. She hid her smile, placing her face against his chest.
Standing outside the house, Preet is watching Veer who is placing his bags in the car. After putting his stuff, he walks near her and looks at her sad face.
He pulled her into his embrace and wrapped his arms around her softly. Placing his lips on her temple, he smiled lightly taking her soothing fragrance.
"I will be back soon, okay? Take care of yourself. Call me anytime you want," he said in his gentle voice. She nodded against his chest and kissed his chest lightly.
"Hmm, you also take care and have your food in time. I will wait for you," she whispered looking into his eyes.
He smiled and nodded and kissed her lips softly. She sighs and kisses him back. Breaking their kiss, he kisses her forehead and takes a step back from her.
"I should leave now," she nodded and gave him her best smile to hide her anxiety and sadness.
"Bye," he said after sitting inside the car. She felt heaviness in her throat but hiding it, she waved at him while smiling at him.
His car reversed and went out of the huge gate before completely disappearing from her sight. She kept standing there looking into space from where his car left.
She didn't want to go inside. She feared this huge Villa would eat her up due to her loneliness.
And the so-called people who are her family, will not let her breathe peacefully.
She was scared to live with them. Taking a deep breath she finally went inside and started going upstairs to her room.
While going to her room, she met Sumitra in her way, who was looking at her with an evil smile before she walked past her.
Shaking her head, Preet walked into her room.
She didn't say anything, just kept crying, making Preet scared. She helped her to her room and after making her sit on her bed she gave water to her.
However now she stopped crying but still sobbing and hiccuping.
"Are you okay?" Preet asked in a low voice, looking at her with concern.
Anaya looks at her in daze and blinks her eyes a few times.
"I thought you hated…" Preet smile at her
"No, but you do," she said, taking an empty glass from her hand.
"Am I really bad?" she innocently made Preer stare at her face with a frown.
