《The way I used to live✔》chapter 47✔

Advertisement

It had been a month since we won the case and my life became so peaceful. I was living a happy life with Arjun. Though I was still carrying the guilt of my past, it got reduced to some extent.

At least I was happy that the culprit of my past got the punishment that he deserved. Adi Anna took over the company's responsibilities from our father and started handling it.

He even restarted Teju's fashion line. He was still looking for a suitable person to handle the fashion line.

Though he was pretending to be content with his life, I knew, deep down, he was still missing Teju. I want him to move on in his life and I pray for him to find true love in his life.

Teju would always be irreplaceable in our lives but it was a fact that she could never return. So, it would have been better if we accepted it and tried to live happily just like she wished for us to live.

As for Arjun, I decided to confess my feelings to him. I couldn't play dumb when his eyes reflected apparently what he felt for me.

I knew he too had a thing for me and I just couldn't sit and wait for him to propose to me. He was a buddhu.

So, I was determined to take things into my hands and decided to shock him with my proposal. He already did a lot of things.

He doted on me, pampered me, cared for me, fought for me. He did everything that an ideal husband should do.

So, it was my turn to pamper him a little. Thus, I planned a surprise for him with the help of my girls and Attayya at his favorite hideout.

I tilted my head to take a glance at the clock and saw that it was nearly evening. So I immediately rushed to the washroom and had a quick bath.

After that, I changed into a bluish-grey saree with a designer blouse and styled my hair into a bun.

Daksha's look

After checking myself once again in the mirror, I started going downstairs after grabbing the gift that I intended to give him.

When I went downstairs, Athayya was talking over her phone and Ammu gave me a thumbs-up while complimenting my looks. I just smiled at her and waited for Athayya to finish her call.

After she was done, she smiled at me and gestured to me to sit beside her.

"My daughter is looking so beautiful. I think my idiotic son will have a hard time controlling himself," she said teasingly.

"Athayya!" I exclaimed in embarrassment and she just smiled at me.

"Is everything ready over there? Will he be there on time?" I asked her after a while.

"Yeah. Everything is done. You can start now. I told his assistant to bring him there by hook or by crook. So, don't worry about that." She assured me.

After bidding goodbye to them, I started driving there with a blissful smile on my face.

Upon reaching there, I saw that people arranged by Attayya were doing the final touch up to the place.

I was completely satisfied with their work. I was sure he would definitely like my surprise as he was wishing for it for so long.

After finishing their work, they left the place while I started waiting for him nervously.

Soon I received a call from his assistant. So, I immediately rushed outside after instructing him to leave.

When I went outside, I saw that Arjun was standing there with a confused look on his face. So I slowly sneaked from his back and closed his eyes with my palms.

He was startled a little bit after sensing that it was me, he relaxed and tried to wriggle out of my hold.

"Daksha, what are you doing?" he asked me.

"Shhh. You will know it soon. Just walk along with me, okay?"

Saying this, I started walking carefully to not stumble upon my saree. Since he was a head taller than me, walking while closing his eyes became a hard task but I still made it.

After reaching there, I slowly removed my hands from his eyes and waited for his reaction.

After finishing my work, I intended to go home soon but my assistant forcefully dragged me to the car and started driving without my consent.

When I asked him about where he was taking me, he just replied that it was an order from the home minister.

I just rolled my eyes at his audacious behavior but when I noticed the route we were heading, I grew even more confused.

He was taking me to my favorite place where I took Daksha once before our wedding and had a little dinner date. Irrespective of the questions I had in my mind, I chose to stay quiet.

After reaching there, he opened the door for me, before calling someone and drove away from there, leaving me all alone.

I looked at the surroundings in confusion but suddenly someone closed my eyes from behind.

When my nostrils caught the whiff of the familiar mist which had become my new favorite, I relaxed and asked her the purpose but she insisted on me tagging along with her.

Having no choice, I followed her lead slowly. She stopped at some spot and removed her palms from my eyes. I blinked my eyes a little but was surprised to see the sight in front of me.

"You peeked into my journal?" I asked her in a surprised tone. Well... that was the only possibility.

She nodded at me slowly with a smile.

"Don't you like it?" She asked me carefully while twisting the edge of her saree.

Saree.

That was when I noticed her attire. God, she was looking divine. Though she rarely wore sarees, surprisingly she could pull off traditional wear very well.

I always love her look in sarees. I was still in awe until she snapped her fingers in front of me.

"Tell me,"

"What?"

"Where did you zone off to? Did you like my surprise?" she asked with a slight frown on her face.

"I loved it,"

"Really?"

She beamed at me when she saw me nodding at her.

"Let's go inside." Saying this, she excitedly dragged me into the treehouse

I sighed and went with her. When I entered it, I was again surprised by the decorations that were inside. There was a table arranged for a candlelight dinner and the whole house was decorated with candles and red roses. It was looking truly ethereal.

I admired the efforts she had put in every minute detail. I felt so touched. I felt like I meant everything to her. Her every action increased the love I had for her.

Every day, I was carrying the ring to propose to her at a perfect time but hesitated after thinking what her reaction might be.

When I was still in my thoughts, I heard a soft voice, calling out my name.

I turned around and what I saw made me widen my eyes in shock.

Damn! How many surprises were there?

Daksha was kneeling in front of me while holding the bunch of roses in her hand and looked at me nervously.

I marched towards her and was about to make her stand on her toes but stopped after hearing her words.

"Arjun, My jun," she said with a smile. I was a little surprised by her name for me.

"I have been thinking for a while to tell you about my feelings for you. You don't know how much you mean to me. You came as a light in my darkness. You swore to protect me even when you didn't know anything about my past. You chose to take my side and decided to trust me even when you were completely clueless about everything.

"You pampered me, understood me in every situation, motivated me when I was feeling low, supported me in everything, fought on my behalf, gave me the taste of success. Jun, trust me. Before you entered my life, I didn't have any purpose in life. I lost the desire to live."

At that time you came as a ray of hope in my life. I don't know when it all started but you became the sole reason for all the happiness in my life. I felt like, without you, this Daksha is nothing," she said with the tears brimming in her eyes and I was so shocked to even react.

"I never gave a thought to the concept of love before. Let's say, I never believed in love because I felt like I didn't deserve it because of the guilt I was carrying in my heart. I never allowed myself to enjoy my life but after our marriage, I wished to lead a happy life, a happy life with you, only with you.

"I am not sure when I started falling for you. Your every action made me fall for you even more. I don't want to bury my feelings anymore. I can never be more grateful to God for sending you into my life. I just can't express my love for you in words. But still, I want to say these words." Saying this she looked into my eyes. Hearing her words, my eyes got a little misty.

"I love you, My Jun"

She uttered those magical words which I craved to say and hear.

Without wasting a second, I immediately kneeled to her level and placed my lips on hers.

I kissed her passionately, pouring all my feelings into it. All my senses were numbed. All I could hear was her saying 'I love you' to me.

I pulled away before I lost myself and rested my forehead on hers.

"I love you too, my angry bird," I whispered slowly and she looked at me with a teary smile.

Still holding onto her, I took out the ring from my suit, that I was carrying with me all the time.

After releasing her, I went back a little and placed that ring in front of her after opening the box.

"Will you be my Queen forever?" I asked her and she nodded at me eagerly while the tears continuously flowed down her eyes.

I immediately wiped her tears and made her wear the ring after removing her hold on the roses.

"It is so beautiful," she said while looking at the crown ring on her finger.

"I was carrying it with me to propose to you but couldn't find the right time to do it. The crown jewel on this ring signifies to add a crowning jewel onto love and the small water diamonds signify forever and always. This is a customized ring, personally crafted by a famous designer John. Darshith helped me in contacting him. Now you can show it off to others. This is the only one of its kind in the entire world," I chuckled a little after saying it.

"Woah. This ring has such a deep meaning. I am impressed, Jun." I smiled in contentment because she liked the ring.

"Wait. I bought something for you too," she said and went to grab a small bag.

She handed me the bag and gestured to me to open it. When I opened it, I was greeted with a beautiful Patek Phillipe watch.

"I loved it. I will only wear this watch from now on," I said before pulling her into my arms.

"Thank you for coming into my life," she said after a moment of silence.

I whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too, Jun"

"Call me again with that name."

"Jun."

I laughed a little before pulling her into a fiery kiss again. Her scent was flooding my senses completely. I couldn't resist myself anymore.

I rested my hand below her ear and caressed her cheek with my thumb as our breaths got mingled. I could feel the rapid beating of her heart.

I slowly placed my hand on her waist and caressed it lightly with my fingers before starting to place sloppy kisses on her neck.

"Arjun, dinner!" She said while panting heavily.

"It can wait," I mumbled before giving her the wet kisses on her collarbone.

"Where is the bedroom?" I asked her in between the kisses.

When she pointed in the direction of the room, I lifted her in my arms and marched inside the room.

After reaching inside, I placed her slowly on her feet before grabbing her waist and pulled her closer to my body while looking into her eyes for her consent.

When she nodded at me, I grabbed her face gently and leaned in for a gentle kiss of assurance.

She immediately tangled her arms around my neck before starting to respond to my kiss. My breathing thickened as did hers. I began nuzzling on her neck.

She suddenly left her hold on me shyly and turned her back to me while breathing heavily. I could feel her nervousness seeping from her body.

So, to make her comfortable, I placed my head on her shoulder from behind before whispering sweet nothings in assurance.

Once she got comfortable, I kissed her ear lobe before slowly peppering kisses on her neck and shoulder and pulled out the strings of her blouse, making her gasp in surprise.

After hours of passionate lovemaking, we snuggled with each other closely. I kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly, before muttering,

"I love you."

"I love you too."

.....

That day not only their hearts but their souls became one too.

Everyone faces heartbreak because they meet the wrong person but once they meet their soulmate, it makes them realize that the pain the heartbreak had caused is nothing when compared to the love they have for each other.

That's how Daksha and Arjun found their true love with each other after facing a lot in the past.
