Time will change everything

Akash POV

***********

I opened my eyes and looked to my left side. My angel is sleeping peacefully with a small smile playing on her lips. She looked more relaxed. I gave her a small kiss on her cheek and got up slowly, not wake her up.

After taking a shower, I dried my hair using a towel. All of a sudden, two hands wrapped around my torso. I smiled and turned around to see my angel smiling at me shyly.

"Good morning Angel" I told her.

"Good morning Akash" she hugged me.

"I am so sorry Akash, for shouting at you yesterday. I didn't mean it. I acted strange yesterday. My insecurity blinded me, and I failed to look at the things from your perspective. I am sorry for my rude words."I put my forefinger on her lips.

"Shh angel, you don't have to be sorry. I can understand your feelings" I said and tried to kiss her but suddenly the baby kicked harder.

"Wow! Now I can't even kiss my wife?" I asked and bend down little. I kissed her stomach and angel just laughed.

"Baby, let me just have this one kiss. You know baby. I am missing your mamma very much since the past five months because of you, and I am sure she is missing me just as much. After I get my kiss, you can have your mamma all for yourself" I said.

"So baby, do we have a deal?" I asked and after a moment, I felt another kick in her belly.

"So I will take that as a yes." I grinned, claiming her lips. I kissed her, and the world fell apart. It was slow and soft, comforting in the way that words would never describe it. My hand rested below her ear, my thumb caressing her cheek as our breaths mingled. She ran her fingers down my spine, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us. I could feel the beating at her heart against my chest. Suddenly, I felt another hard kick on her belly. We broke the kiss.

"I think our time is, over" I said, and we laughed.

We went downstairs for breakfast. After eating breakfast, Shanthi maa, angel and I were discussing about the baby shower function.

"Maa, angel, today I invite the saree sales man and the jewellery man to our home. You both can buy whatever you want for the function" I told them, and they nodded at me.

After an hour, the saree sales man and the jewellery man arrived. Angel and maa were selecting their sarees and jewelleries while I was sitting beside them very much irritated because they were selecting their saree since two hours.

"Akash how is this?" Angel asked me to show the Yellow color saree.

"Nice angel" I told her.

"No! I don't want this saree" Saying this she started selecting another saree.

"Why?" I asked her softly.

"Because you didn't say it's beautiful. You simply said it's nice" She pouted sadly. My eyes widened.

Oh god! Please save men from women and their shopping!!

"Akash, how is this saree?" Mom asked me to show pink colour saree.

"This saree would look great on you" I told her.

"Really? I don't think the color suits me." Saying this mom started selecting another saree.

Wow my family is crazy!

I saw the sales man face tired. He looked like he was going to faint if they take any longer.

That's it!

"Maa, Angel! It's enough. How many hours will you both take for selecting a saree?" I asked them annoyed.

"Akash, it's very difficult to select because all the sarees are extremely nice" Angel pouted. If Shanti maa wasn't here, I would have kissed her pout off. She looks so adorable.

"Angel, if you like all the sarees then you can buy all" I told her controlling my inner emotions.

"What? No, No. I don't want all the sarees. I'm just confused which one to choose" she told.

"Akash, do thing. You please select saree and jewellery for us" mom told me. I nodded my head and started searching a saree and matching jewellery for them.

After 20 minutes, I selected a red colour saree for maa and a pink one for my angel. They both liked their saree very much. Then I placed the whole bunch of gold bangles and matching necklace set in her hands.

Finally!

All of a sudden, the door bell rang. I went and opened the door. I was stunned for a moment as I saw who was standing at the door. Sanaya and her mom!!

At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to slam the door at Sanaya's face. However, if I do that, my angel will scold me for my rude behavior. Since Dharani's aunt was also standing beside Sanaya, I can't disrespect her. She changes a lot in this past five months. She regretted her every action, and my angel also forgave her. So, with the utmost reluctance, I allowed the door to open wide.

"Why are you here Sanaya?" I asked her coldly.

"Son, she wants to ask forgiveness from you and Dharani" Dharani's aunt told me.

"Listen aunt, I don't have any problem with you coming and talking with my wife. But, sorry to say, I can't allow your daughter near my wife. She is very dangerous" I said her sternly.

"I want to ask forgiveness for my behavior to Dharani. Please allow me" Sanaya told softly. Before I could speak anything, I heard my angel's voice.

"Akash, who is it?" Angel asked coming outside. She saw Sanaya and her aunt at the door.

Dharani POV

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

I was heartily enjoying my fresh fruit juice when I heard Akash talking to someone.

"Akash, who is it?" I asked going outside and saw Sanaya and my aunt at the door.

I stared at them. Never in my wildest dreams that I thought that she would visit me again, after all the things happened in our lives.

Sanaya!!

"Dharani, can we talk? Please, just once?" Sanaya asked me pleadingly.

Unable to answer, I just stared at her guilty stricken face.

"Sure." I replied and invite her inside. I gave a sideways glance to Akash. He is looking at me disappointingly.

The atmosphere inside the room is so thick. "Have a seat" I told aunt and Sanaya.

"Dharani sister, I'm sorry. I feel ashamed. I know, what I have done is injustice to you. I lashed out at you. I abused you, and I even hurt you so much. Please try to forgive me. You know what, it took me two long days to gather strength to face you. I honestly don't know if you want to talk to me. But I take my chances. I'm not asking you to forgive me. I know it's not that easy. But I just want you to know I've regretted everything that's happened. All I want to do is to start a new life with you. I am sorry. Please forgive me" Sanaya told me, and I was quiet, speechless. I didn't expect this one coming up.

"I...hmm...I don't know what to say" I told her.

"Take your time. Don't worry, I'll wait forever, If that is what it takes for you to forgive me." Sanaya and aunt stood from their chair, wiping her tears.

"Good-bye sister" Sanaya told and was ready to leave.

"Sanaya, wait!" I stood up from my coach uttering the words I didn't know I will tell Sanaya one day.

"Tomorrow is my baby shower function. I am inviting you and aunt to attend it" I told her and tears fell from her eyes with a sigh of relief escape her lips.

"You don't know how much it means to me to hear that. I'm sorry, really sorry sister. I hope you find your happiness with your husband. He's a good man. He will take good care of you and your baby." She said and left the home. I looked at Akash. He is glaring at me and went into our bedroom without talking to anything. I sighed.

Akash POV

***********

I don't trust Sanaya even a bit. I can see her hidden smirk when my angel invited her in her baby shower function. My gut instinct is making me feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, two hands wrapped around my torso. I sighed.

"Akash, are you angry with me?" she asked, and I turn around looking at her sad face. I cupped her face in my hands.

"I can never get angry with you angel, but I don't trust Sanaya words. Why did you invite her in your baby shower function? I don't like it" I told her.

"Akash, everybody deserves a second chance in their lives. Tell me one thing Akash, I gave a second chance to you, Avinash bhai and even to taiji. I never regret for giving you all a second chance. So I should also give a second chance to Sanaya" she told me softly and hugged me. I sighed.

"I know angel but sorry to say I don't trust Sanaya even a little bit" I sighed sadly.

"Time will change everything's Akash" she told me.

"I hope time will change everything" I kissed her forehead.
