LOVE AGAIN!!!

Silence After the Storm

Dive in! Also, if I happen to mix things in this book with I hate love you, please do point it out. I was just working on that book before this, so please bear with me.

Sakshi's POV

The next morning, I woke up with Akshay's arms still around me and our feet tangled together. There was no way I could get away without waking him up. He finally looked peaceful after the torturous night we'd had, so I decided against waking him up. I was staring at his face and didn't realize when he woke up. How could someone be so handsome.

'I know I'm handsome but take a photo, baaki mujhe sharam aa jayegi' he said with a smirk. I just hit his chest and tried to get up, tried being the keyword.

'Let go of me' I said, hitting his hand lightly.

'Not gonna happen now' he replied immediately.

'Have you completely lost it?' I asked.

'Nope I finally found it' he gave me his smartass reply.

'Found what?'

'My chance to love again. My chance to have a complete family. My chance to be with you' he said so sweetly that if he wasn't holding me securely I would have fallen of the sofa or fainted.

'I asked you to think about it, no need to act impulsively' I told him because there was no way he could have decided so fast.

'I'm not acting impulsively. I have thought about it a lot. I want a chance to live a happy life again. I think I can have that with you and our children' he said very confidently. Our children. I liked the sound of that.

'Well if you are sure, then let's give it a try. We can go slow' I said. 

'Yes, maybe we shouldn't tell the children yet. Smooth them into it. Spend more time together with them and see where it goes?' he asked, a little unsure of the idea. 

'Yes, I completely agree' I responded and he seemed to relax a little at that. 

'I need to go Akshay, the kids will be up and we still have to prepare breakfast. I don't want aunty to work while I relax' I told him and he pouted but finally let go after giving me a kiss on the forehead. Not wanting to be seen by anyone just yet, I checked the hallway before heading back to my room. I quickly freshened up and headed to the kitchen. Aunty entered at the same time and smiled at me. 

'Good morning beta, why did you get up so early? You should have slept in na, yesterday was such a tiring day after all' she asked. 

'I was up anyways aunty, and I wanted to help with breakfast. So what are we making?' I replied back. 

'Well, I was thinking of making masala idli, aloo paratha, sandwiches and poha so that everyone will have atleast something they like' she said and I nodded in agreement. We quickly got to work knowing that the rest of the house would soon be down and grumbling about breakfast. 

Aunty and I kept talking as we prepared the food. It had always been easy to talk to aunty about anything and everything. 

'Good morning ma' I heard the voice of my man. Damn that felt weird, good weird but weird nonetheless. 

'Good morning beta' she replied with a smile. 

'Morning Sakshi' he said with a wink and a smirk. I couldn't help but blush at the look he gave me. I was just cleaning some vegetables when I felt him walk up behind me. 

'Yes, can I help you?' I said with a raised eyebrow, challenging him. 

'Nah, I'm good, just getting some water' he replied walking even closer. He was close enough for me to feel his breath. 

'Wait for a second na, I'll move to that side. I'm done with my work' I said trying to get away from him. How could he be so shameless, his mom was in the same room. 

'It's fine. I'm very thirsty, I can't wait for you to move away. Plus, I love this closeness love' he said whispering the last part in my ear. His glass was soon full and he pulled away, giving me a wink and leaving the room after giving aunty a hug and telling her he was very hungry. 

My face had turned completely red. I took deep breaths for a few minutes till I completely calmed myself down. Aunty and I were soon done with preparing all the food. 

'Beta, you go wake up the children, I'll get the workers to set up the table' she said sweetly and I nodded, heading to their room. On my way there, I met Akshay again. Just my luck. 

'Going to wake them up?' he asked. 

'Yep'

'Me too, let's go' he said. We walked upto their room and slowly opened the door. They were sleeping very peacefully, but the room had never been a greater mess. Honestly though, I didn't mind the messy room, knowing that it helped Ro calm Piyu down. 

Akshay put a finger on his lips motioning me to be quiet. He walked upto them slowly and got on the bed tickling both of them at once. They shouted out loud, laughing and laughing. I couldn't help but laugh along looking at how happy they were together. Akshay motioned me to join in with his eyes. I joined them on the bed, still laughing. 

'Maa help' Ro cried as he continued to laugh out loud. 

'Not happening champ, your ma is on my side' Akshay replied and I nodded joining him. I was tickling them too. After a few more minutes of messing around we finally let them go. All of us kept laughing as we lay there on the bed together. This was perfect. I just wish things always stay the same. 

'Papa I'm still not talking to you' Piyu said after a few minutes, hugging me as she remembered everything that happened the previous night. 

'Me too uncle, you made Piyu and mumma cry' Ro joined in. Akshay looked at me and I nodded, knowing what he wanted to do. 

'Kids, I'm really really sorry. I was so surprised when Pia asked the question yesterday that I exploded. I was angry that I couldn't give Piyu all the love she deserved, that she needed someone else, but Sakshi made me realize my mistake. I am so sorry. I love you both more than I've ever loved anyone. Please forgive me' he said, holding his ears like a little boy. The kids shared a look and nodded, finally turning back to him. 

'Fine, on one condition' Ro conceded. 

'You will take us to the amusement park' Pia completed his sentence. 

'Done, done, done' he agreed immediately. 

'Yaaay' they shouted together. 

'Now that everything is sorted, let's get y'all ready and down for breakfast' I said, happy that things had calmed down. They immediately got up and ran to the washroom. 

'I'll get them ready, you go get ready' Akshay said noticing that I was still in my night suit. I nodded and headed out of the room. I kept thinking about the last 24 hours and prayed to god that all of them always remained as happy as they were today morning.
