Chapter 326

Diya couldn't help but feel a little upset and as didn't want to say anything that she might regret. And above all she didn't want him to know how she felt. The more she thought about that evening the more upset she got. The evening had started out beautifully until they got to the reception. She felt a little annoyed when she saw him chatting with the lady at the bar as she was not sure if he was flirting. Next his comments which she couldn't really understand that made her happy at first and more confused later. Then one of the waitresses in her tight outfit and long battering eyelashes was hitting on him. She walked over to him many times asking him if he wanted anything even though it was not necessary for her to do so. What bothered her most was Akshar didn't seemed to mind or he didn't really have a clue. To top it all she was very annoyed when she was pulled over by the cop and their conversation in French and her giving him his number which he took it right in front of her and didn't bother to discuss or say anything about her. She was slowly starting to fume inside and her face was turning a little red. She looked at him and he was completely relaxed in his seat, listening to the music with his eyes closed. She took deep breaths and let them out. They seemed to help and pretty soon she was pulling into her drive way and parked the car. She turned the engine off and both of them got down from the car. They didn't really exchange any words but she sensed that he was often looking at her. She didn't really car this time as she had just calmed down. Both of them walked into the house and as soon as she turned on the lights, he said, "Let me go change" She nodded and walked into her room while he walked over to the room next to hers where he had left his cloths. She removed her jewelry first and packed everything into its appropriate jewelry box. She removed her thubatta and was about to change into something casual, just then she heard some loud noise and walked out to see what was going on.

Akshar had taken his shirt off and was looking for his shirt and he rushed out of his room hearing the heavy loud noise. Both of them realized that it was a thunder which was followed by rain. Both walked over to the window from the family room which was facing the nearby parking lot to get a better look. Akshar said, "How am I going to drive home in this rain?" Diya looked at him and said, "I don't think so. You can stay in the guest bed room. You have had your share of alcohol today. Even though it has been a while and it might be okay, it is definitely not a good idea to drive back home in this weather at this hour" and turned around to go to her room. He voice gave away how she felt; she was upset and angry and Akshar immediately sensed it. He said, "I sense that you are not very happy and obviously you are upset about something." She looked at him and it was so evident in her eyes that she was mad at him. Her stare was penetrating and her eyes were wide and her cheek bones had turned a little red. For a minute Akshar got distracted by looking at her wondering how pretty she looked even when she was upset. He was even tempted to kiss her. He extended his hand and took hers and said, "I am sorry if I had done something to upset you. The only thing I can think of is that I was talking to the female cop and she gave me her number and I took it. She is a old friend of mine and I am seeing her after so many years. I didn't even recognize her." He pulled her hand a little closer but she didn't budge but her face was starting to change a little. Akshar continued as she didn't say anything. "If you have something on you mind... Tell me" and he paused for a minute. He walked a little towards her and her face looked much calmer than it did before. He gently wrapped his hands around her waist and took his hand onto her face and held her chin slightly above so that she would look into his eyes. "You would probably meet many women from my life, well from my past. One thing you need to understand. You are my present. You are the only one I am interested in. I promise you that." Diya smiled. He said, "Now that's my girl" and grabbed her close and kissed her.
