Akash POV
***********
I stretched my hands to pull my angel. She is the reason of my life but I didn't find her beside me. I opened my eyes and bright sunlight hit my face directly burning my eyes. I groaned and waited till my eyes adjusted themselves with the brightness.
I looked around the room and my eyes landed on angel sitting on study table and sleeping.
'But why?' I thought.
I got up from the bed and walked to her. But something grabbed my attention, the papers which were lying on the table. I picked up the papers and looked at them. I get the biggest shock after seeing the drawing.
Wow! Its really a perfect traditional antique design.
Then I understood that these were made by my angel. I felt so happy seeing the designs. I can't believe it. She made these designs very well. Suddenly, my phone rang disturbing my angel's sleep. I cut the call immediately but my angel opened her eyes slowly. She saw me holding her beautiful design papers. She widened her eyes and stood up immediately.
"Did you make these designs angel?" I asked her.
"Yes" she said nodding her head nervously.
"Angel, your designs are very good and you made it perfectly. I am going to present it to Mr.Knight" I said to her.
"No No Akash. This is not good. You are just accepting because you don't want to hurt me" angel said trying to take the designs from me.
"No angel. I am accepting these designs because they are really very good and now I am really confident enough to get the project" I said to her.
"And angel if I get the project, then you have to make designs for our company. So will you help me?" I asked her but she stood there silently.
"But Akash I don't know how to make them perfectly. I made those designs very roughly. I don't want you to get embarrassed because of me" she said to me.
"I will help you for the designs. Please accept, angel" I pleaded her.
"Ok. I accept but you have to help me" she said cutely.
"Of course. I am always there for you" I kissed her forehead and got ready for office.
I came downstairs and saw. Angel took the decorated puja plate and lit diya. Then, she waving a lit diya in front of God and prayed. After the puja, she told me to took the blessing. I did.
"All the best, Akash" angel said to me.
"Thank you angel" I said and pecked her lips saying bye.
Soon, I reached office. I called my PA Aman and asked him to arrange for meeting with Mr.Knight.
"Sir, did you find a new designer?" he asked shockingly.
"Yes!"I said smirked at him.
"Who is the new designer, sir?" he asked me confusingly.
"My wife" I said proudly and showed the designs made by my angel. He watched the design with an aww expression.
"Wow sir! These are fantastic. Really mam has done a great job and I am sure Mr.knight will definitely approve mam's design" Aman said.
"I hope so" I said closing my eyes.
After two hours, Mr.Knight and his daughter arrived. Aman showed the designs to Mr.Knight and his daughter. Both loved the designs and asked for the designer.
"Its designed by my wife, Dharani Akash Mehra" I told them proudly.
"Your wife did a great job, Mr. Mehra" Mr. Knight said appreciating my angel's work.
"Thank you sir" I said to him.
"I give you my daughter's wedding jewellery deals. In fact you have to design my whole family's jewellery for wedding. I really liked the design made by your wife" Mr.Knight said shocking me.
Whole family's jewellery? Its a very big deal. All thanks to my angel.
"But on one condition Mr.Mehra. You have only one week for this project because my daughter's wedding date is within 10 days" he said shocking me.
"One week is really a very less time, sir" Aman said.
"Yes only one week. If you can't do it, then tell me. I will cancel the project" Mr.Knight said.
"I accept the project and you will get the jewellery within a week" I said and we signed the deal. Mr.knight left the office.
I am so happy today. I want to share this news to my angel. I left to home immediately.
I drove back to my house when I saw a flower shop on my way. She told me once that she loves flowers. I bought some white and red roses for her and made my way to my home.
"Angel! Angel! Where are you?" I shouted happily.
"Akash!" I heard her angelic voice and turned around to see the most gorgeous girl in the world standing right behind me. I took two strides towards her and hugged her tightly.
"Angel, we got the project" I said and handed her the roses.
"Really?" She widened her big beautiful doe eyes with happiness shinning in the eyes. She accepted the roses happily.
"Thank you. These flowers are beautiful" she said adoring the flowers.
"Thanks to you angel. Only because of you, I got the project today" I kissed her cheek.
"Are you sure angel? Because you have to wear modern dress to office. You can't wear saree. Its our company's another rule." There I dropped another bomb. She look at me stunned.
"What?? Modern dress?" she asked me and I nodded my head innocently.
"But I am comfortable only in saree" she said biting her lips. I released her lips from her teeth softly and she blushed.
"Why you are comfortable only in saree?" I asked her.
"No one will see me with lust as its covers me fully"she said innocently and I smiled at her words.
"Oh really? Saree covers you fully? Let's see" I touched her bare waist and she shivered in my arms. I hugged her tightly and kissed her shoulders drawing some pattern on her bare back. She started breathing heavily. I released her.
"Now tell me, saree covers you fully?" I whispered in her ears.
"No" she whispered back.
"Exactly! This is just your thinking angel. You think that saree covers you fully and no one will look at you with lust, which is wrong angel. It's just the opposite person's thinking. Think once angel, you always wear saree right? Then why did Dhruv try to misbehave with you?" I asked her. She sat there silently and tears rolling down her cheeks. I sighed and took her in my arms hugging her lightly.
"Its not your fault angel. It's the fault of Dhruv mind" I said to her softly.
"Are you understanding what I am trying to tell you angel?" I asked her.
"Yes, now I understood. Wearing a saree that covers you fully is not going to change people's thinking. We have to change their mindset and not our costume" she said to me softly and I kissed her hair.
"That's like my angel. So tomorrow are you ready to wear modern dress?" I asked her making her lay on the bed. She nodded her head.
"I am ready" she said and I smiled.
"Now sleep angel. Tomorrow you will be very busy. I'm tired and I know you are too. So just sleep" I said to her.
"Good night Akash" she said and slept in my arms.
I will make you strong.
I will make you bold.
I will make you face the world alone.
I will make you an independent woman.
That's my Promise Angel. I whispered, feeling myself slipping into darkness.
