From Hell To Heaven novel Chapter 21

Dharani POV

***************

Bright sunlight hit my face. I opened my eyes and regretted my doing when I saw direct rays of sun burning my eyes. I groaned and waited till my eyes adjusted themselves with the brightness. I turned to my left to see my husband sleeping peaceful. Yesterday's event rushed into my mind. Akash introduced me to the whole media as his wife, he honored me in stage. Then our romantic dance and our kiss. I blushed. I can't believe he is the same Akash who used to torture me in past. I hate myself for not hating him because it is clear that I already fell for him in the first sight, on our marriage. Call me stupid, but I have to keep my feelings in bay. This feeling will definitely break my heart once again.

But one thing is sure, I can't forgive him easily. He has to work hard for my forgiveness. My heart says he will definitely win my heart before our divorce time.

Since the last two days he was never angry at me. He was trying his best to make me comfortable around him. Now I'm a little comfortable being around him.

I stood up to go washroom for getting fresh. Then I went downstairs for making breakfast. Shanthi maa didn't return yet.

Akash got ready and came downstairs for breakfast.

Wow he is looking more handsome in business attire.

Shut up you women! My inner voice scolded me.

He sat at the dinning table and I  serve him silently.

"Angel" he called and I looked at him immediately.

"Sit and eat with me. From today onwards, you will eat with me" He told and I nodded at him and sat beside him.

"Angel" he called once again.

I like it when he calls me Angel. It makes butterflies burst out in my stomach.

"Yes" I looked at him.

"You are an excellent cook. I think I am going to become fat soon" he said and pouted. I coughed out and looked here and there.

Seriously he pouted at me!! I looked at him and smiled.

"Thank You" I told him shyly and he smiled at me widely. He kissed my forehead and bid bye leaving for office.

I sighed and sat in the living hall watching tv. After 2 hours I went to prepare lunch. Just then the door bell rang. I saw dad (Akash's father) at the door smiling at me sadly.

"Dad, please come in" I welcomed him.

We walked sat on the coach. I could sense the seriousness in the air but I tried to keep it on the bay.

"How are you dharani?" Dad asked me.

"I am fine Dad" I said to him.

"Are you happy with Akash?" Dad asked me suddenly. I was stunned.

Oh god, what will I answer now?

I silently looked at Dad but didn't said anything. Dad sighed sadly "Last time when I visited you, I thought you are happy with Akash. I thought you two will make a great pair" he said sadly and I looked down. I don't know what to say.

"You know why I got you married to Akash?" I nodded my head in a 'no'.

"One day I saw you going to a temple. I saw an old woman meeting with an accident but nobody tried to help her her. Everyone were simply watching, but you beta, you made your way towards her. You helped that woman and took her to the nearby hospital and payed for her treatment. You even shifted the lady to a old age home. I was mesmerized by your soft heart as well as touched by your gentleness" Dad told and looked at me proudly. I was shocked.

"I thought you would be perfect for my son. I thought my son will also like you. I collected all information about you and I was shocked to find out that your father is my close friend. Since they died in accident, you had to live in your uncle house. I even investigated about your uncle and came to know that he is a cruel money minded man. I knew how much brutally your uncle treat you, so I was determined to make you my daughter-in-law and free you from that hell. So I gave some money to him and got you married to Akash"

"Yes, your father is my friend " he said and I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

"I thought if Akash would marry you, you both will make a great pair. You are just like my wife, caring and loving. Akash's mother was also very open minded women and had helping tendency. So I thought I take the correct decision to getting you married to Akash, but I was wrong. I never thought that he will go to such extreme. I am ashamed of him and myself" he said whispering the last part. I looked away to hide my pain.

"No dad its not your fault. I understand that you wanted to free me from my uncle's torture and I am thankful for you dad" I said to him.

"Dharani, if you want to divorce Akash, I will help you. But beta before that please consider him. Now he is changing and I can see that. When his mother died, he was a very little boy. He is mumma's boy. When my wife unexpectedly died, our happy world was shattered. I was depressed myself and I failed to console my little boy. I left him and only concentrated on my business. I was never there for him when he needed me the most. I failed as his dad. Shanthi took care of Akash. Then he grow up to become an arrogant man. He can't even control his anger. He listens only to Shanthi. I forced him to get married. He didn't want to get married. I kind of blackmailed him saying If he doesn't marry you, I'll snatch his CEO post and the company from him. That's the reason, he agreed to marry you" Dad said with guilt while I tried to process all this information in my mind.

"Please forgive me Dharani, for what Akash did to you. But please give him just for one last chance, for my sake" Dad said joining his hands with tears in his eyes .

"Dad, please don't cry. I already gave him a chance, but I didn't tell this to Akash. I can see him trying to change his character. He has to win my heart before our divorce date, otherwise I will leave him Dad" I said to him.

"I am sure Dharani, he will definitely win your heart" Dad said proudly.

"Dad, can I ask you a question?" I asked Dad.

"Ask me " Dad said.

"How do you know that Akash tortured me?" I asked him.

"Shanthi told me everything, She is like a sister to me. She never hides anything from me" Dad said to me.

"And yesterday I saw the news, how my son was looking at you lovingly in party. I can see love in his eyes and that's the main reason, I trust him. I am sure he will never hurt you Dharani . I promise you beta" Dad said.

"I trust your words Dad" I said to him.

"Ok Dharani, I have to leave now. I have an important meeting. Please don't tell Akash that I knew about his past behavior. I don't want my son to be ashamed of himself. He has been a great son always, but I don't know why he behaved so cruelly with you" Dad said. I nodded my head.

"Dharani, my son told the media that you are his lucky charms. So wish me best of luck because I have an important meeting now" Dad said teasingly.

I blushed. "Best of luck dad!" He laughed at me.

"I would not forgiven you but I also committed the same mistake of hurting Dharani, so I forgive you Akash." I can understand his feelings, how ashamed he felt because I also do regret it as much as he does.

"Ok Akash, now I have to tell you an important news. Tomorrow is your wife birthday" he said and I was stunned.

Wait! What? Tomorrow is my angel's birthday! God I didn't know that! My Angel also didn't tell me.

'You idiot, why will she tell you? Your single stare makes her fear and run away from you, my inner voice scolded me.

"Thanks for informing Avinash" I said to him.

"Its ok man, I have to go now" We hugged each other and he went away.

God I have very less time. I have to prepare birthday surprise for my Angel. So what will surprise her? I know nothing about my Angel. I only know that she is very good at heart, she is a very simple girl, she never wears jewellery , she neither wears make up nor any fancy dresses.

'You stupid Akash! It's because no one bought her anything like that earlier, so how can you say she don't like dresses, jewellery?' my mind voice scolded me.

You are right. Her tauji treated her really bad and I am sure he never brought or gifted her anything other than pain. That bloody bastard! Soon I will make his life living hell. I will definitely take my revenge from him. I vowed myself. Till now my angel actually had no one to share her feelings with or anyone who would take care of her. But now, I'm here, her husband. I promise you, my Angel, I'll make every day of yours a heaven.

I got an awesome idea to surprise my Angel. I grinned at my thought and called my PA, informing him to make arrangements for my Angel's birthday.

But now I don't want Angel in our home since I am going to make surprise arrangements plan in my house.

Idea!!

Its 12:30 pm, I know my Angel is making lunch for me. So I called. "Angel, bring our lunch to my office. We will have it together here. I will send a driver to pick up you " I called and told her.

Wait for my surprise Angel! I'm sure you will love it. I was grinning like an Idiot.

What would she do seeing my surprise?

'Will she kiss me?' My heart ask.

'Kiss you? She will slap you' my mind said.

'Will she hug me?' My heart asked again.

'Hug you? She will kick your ass' my devil mind said.

'Shut up you both, heart and mind!' I scolded them both.
