Part-10
Ananya had so much to write in her diary that she was updating till late last night and she completely forgot that she had a flight at 11am in the morning next day. She had overslept and only got up when she heard Akash calling her name in the morning. She initially woke up startled thinking something has gone wrong but soon was all in smiles seeing Akash waking her up. She hurried to take her bath and once back she found the table ready with breakfast as Akash was trying to blow the milk cold for her to have the museli. Ananya asked Akash "what are you doing, let it be I will have breakfast in the flight".Akash on hearing that held her hand and made her sit and said "Sit here and without breakfast you are not leaving. Savita tai told me you did not like to have breakfast at your workplace".Ananya had actually hoped that Akash was recoiling back and letting his memories as he remembered that Ananya cannot have warm milk but as of now it looked like it was one of Savita tai's narrations only. Still she was happy as it has been long somebody had cared for her so nicely and icing on the cake was it was her love , her Akash showering her with his care if not love.
Ananya reached the airport with a skip in her step and smile on her face which did not go unnoticed by Capt. Rathod and Rohit. They started pulling her leg "looks like the blush on Mrs.Saluja's face is because Mr. Saluja either made or packed the lunch for her".Ananya did not know what to respond since she was not adept to handle these teasing because she had always been with Akash and he was smart when it came to such things, she simply blushed further making the duo laugh at her. Ananya had a flight to Delhi-Mumbai and back late in the evening. She wanted to finish of the leg and get back home to be with kids and Akash. She was very happy with the pace of recovery and thanked Rohit for arranging such good doctors to which Rohit asked her not to, since he owes the duo a lot of what he has today. The first leg of the flight went fine but during the return flight to Delhi, the tail end of the wing had caught fire during landing. The news was all over the place and Akash heard it on the TV and was hell worried. He called the authorities and figured out that it was the same one that Ananya was flying and Akash started worrying more and inspite of Savita tai's assurances he walked up and down the patio restlessly.
At the airport as soon as the ATC was informed of the issue, the emergency services were called in the flight had made an emergency landing. The passengers were evacuated first followed by the staff and thankfully everyone was safe. As Ananya and Capt Rathore walked from the parking bay to inside the airport, Ananya stood open mouthed at the scene in front of her. There was Akash standing looking all worried and anxious and she quickly made her way towards him and Akash also rushed towards her cupping her face with both hands and asking all worried "tum thik ho?".Ananya was now sure that he was recovering as this is the infamous line he always used since they knew each other and she was so glad the most original line was back. Ananya tried gulping down the tears that threatened to fall and wanted to hug Akash tight but looking at the place they were standing she stepped away a little and Akash also came back to his senses. Akash told her that he had fed and put the kids to sleep but could not stay in the house any longer so he took a taxi and came to the airport. Ananya assured him that she was fine and as they made their way back, Rohit ran towards Ananya and asked "Thank God you all are safe, I was horribly worried ".As they continued the convo Akash was becoming frustrated standing a few feet away from Ananya. As soon as Ananya & Rohit said their goodbyes and Rohit moved a step ahead to give Ananya a friendly hug , he felt Ananya being pulled away all of a sudden and then he noticed that it was none other than Akash who had pulled her away. He was pleasantly surprised since he had not noticed him earlier, and looked at Ananya who nodded telling him yes indeed he had come to get her and Rohit smiled. Akash noticed the smile and said "Ananya I think we should go, the kids are alone".Ananya too realized it and said "Yes Rohit, we need to rush" to which Rohit said " Ananya take a day off tomorrow but if you need anything let me know". Before Ananya could reply Akash replied "If she needs anything I am there to take care, you need not bother, have a good day".Rohit winked at Ananya as Akash pulled her alongwith him towards the exit and moved to the taxi. As they got into the taxi Ananya received a message from Rohit on her phone "Mr. Possessive is back..Congrats Ananya!!!"Ananya smiled looking at the message and turned towards Akash who seemed to be completely focused on the road. Ananya could not understand what was wrong with him as he was so caring a few minutes ago and now he seems to be upset. Upset! Oh yes he is!! But why is he upset with her what has she done now. After they reached home Akash did not even wait to pay the cab driver and walked inside the house sulking and Ananya had to pay and rush behind him. She had to figure out what's wrong with him and she knew its not going to be easy so she asked Savita tai to go to her room and she will heat up the dinner later. As Ananya approached her room she saw akash had changed and was lying down on his side of the bed reading a book and from his face she could make out that he was sulking and not reading. Ananya was stressed out for the day with the flight, the fire and now the way Akash was behaving so she decided to take a shower and then talk to her life a little later.
Part-11
She had a bath, freshened up and started to towel her wet hair infront of the mirror. Through the mirror she could see as usual Akash staring at her and this had started few days back, that whenever she towels her hair dry Akash keeps staring at her and on being caught hides like a child has been caught stealing his favorite candy. The moment Ananya caught him staring at her and Akash saw that he immediately turned back his attention to the book as if that's the most important thing on earth for him. Ananya smiled to herself and walked up to him to ask him to come for dinner to which he grunted and said he was not hungry. Akash loved food and now that he did not want to eat his favorite panner lababdar , Ananya was sure he is upset about something. She sat beside him and asked him
"What happened Akash, why are you upset".
Akash as expected replied :"Nothing , I am not hungry"
An: "Ok then I am terribly hungry and tired but I am not eating if you are not and I will sit here till you tell me why you are upset".
Akash sounded irritated as he said "Ok fine sit the whole night. I am tired and going to sleep".
Seeing Ananya wouldn't budge,finally Akash relented and slowly sat up and said:
"Why is that Rohit guy trying to hug you and help you so much, you don't think I am capable of doing things. The Dr. told me something has happened and I have changed but she said I am absolutely fine otherwise. I know you take care of me so I should take care of you.I take care of the kids, I made maggi for you the other day,I can bring and feed you dinner so why do you need Rohit"
Ananya sat stupefied, she could not believe that the man infront of her who few months ago did not even acknowledge her was now jealous and was showing possessiveness, the excitement of this feeling was threatening to open the floodgate of her emotions but she had to keep her in check and she held Akash hands in her own and said "I don't need anybody beside me apart from you and the kids. You are the world to me Akash and I felt I was two inches taller when I saw you at the airport waiting for me. Rohit is just a friend who has helped me during trying times so I am just a friend for him but neither Rohit nor anybody can take your place in my life, not now, not ever, not in this life, not in next seven births". Akash looked at her unblinking and Ananya sat scared of his reaction but in a minute a smile appeared on his face and hugged her and Ananya let her brushed off her tears on Akash back lest he sees her crying. After breaking the hug Ananya said "Can we have dinner now with your favorite paneer".Akash nodded and Ananya heated the food smiling to herself and as she reached the table laying down the food for both of them Akash took a small piece of the paratha and dipped it in the curry and held it in front of her mouth. Ananya felt she was dreaming and had to pinch her to bring back to reality that Akash was actually trying to feed her. She in turn did the same and soon it looked like a happy couple laughing, talking and having their dinner. As Ananya started collecting the dished Akash stopped her and raised his thumb to her lips and wiped a small piece of paneer that was stuck to her lips. As he brushed her lips Ananya felt she was going to faint out of excitement and she closed her eyes tight shut to stop the whirlwind of emotions being shown through them.
As Ananya came back to her bed to write her diary and then retire for the day she found Akash awake as if waiting for her. As she sat beside him and looked at him with all love and care and started running her fingers through his hair so he could drift of to sleep Akash closed his book and raised himself to sleep on Ananya's lap and put his face close to her abdomen and then wrapped her waist with both his hands. Ananya looked up towards the sky thanking God for the way Akash has been through the day and to keep him improving this way every day. She had loads of things to write in her diary today especially about the first time when Akash had told her that he hated it when they were together and she would start conversing with somebody else .She remembered how he would sometimes show his possessiveness towards her as she looked back at her effervescent devilishly handsome husband who was fast asleep with his head on her lap and face close to her abdomen holding her waist tightly with both arms.
