Recap: Akhil and Jhanvi share some romantic moment.
**************
Akhil parked his car at the parking of the mall. He wore a mask and a cap to hide his identity in public as he is a celebrity business man as well as sportsman. Jhanvi wore her shawl over head and covered her face. Both entered the women's shop and Akhil chose many tops, skirts, palazoos, night wears.
Jha: Why are you choosing so many ? Please return some.
Akh: I think you should choose your other things instead of stopping me.
Jha: No I don't want anything else. Lets go now.
He paid for everything and they carried it out and left the mall. Jhanvi sighed in relief once hey were out of mall. But soon he stopped before a boutique.
Jha: Why are we here now ?
Akh: To the main part of shopping. Now come on.
They walked inside and the sales girl welcomed them. He saw Jhanvi standing behind and caught her wrist and moved to the saree section. He was looking at every saree for sometime.
Akh Mv: She will look beautiful in every saree. He turned to her with a black embroidery saree and ocean green designer saree and a small boy who was running bumped on Jhanvi and she stumbled to fall but luckily Akhil caught her in right time holding her waist. They were standing lost in each other and came back to reality when they heard the meeky voice of the boy saying sorry to Jhanvi. She moved away from Akhil and ruffled the boy's hair.
He was waiting as the sales girl was displaying the matching blouse for every saree. Jhanvi stopped him from selecting the blouse and he did not want to push her further and waited for her to finish the selection.
Akhil dumped half of the sarees in her hand and pulled her towards the billing turning deaf ears to her complaints on spending too much money on shopping. They sat in the car after dumping the bags in the back seat.
Jha: You should have listened to me. what is the need for so many sarees now and adding to it you have bought other dresses too. Aunty is already upset that we are out together and if she sees all these, I don't know what she will do. May be we will give some sarees to aunty, Isha and Granny too.
Akhil removed his mask and cap and turned to her. Next moment he pulled her and started kissing fervently. Jhanvi shut her eyes to the sudden kiss and she fisted his shirt tightly. When she did not kiss him back he pinched her waist and she gasped giving him entry to her mouth and they kissed out they were knocked out of air.
Akhil pulled back from the kiss and pecked the corner of her lips and forehead.
Akh: I wondered many times like when you will speak to me and I love to hear you talk to me all day but I prefer something about us or something romantic rather than complaining about spending few thousands in shopping. And you will not give any of these sarees to anyone because I m dying to see you in these sarees as I selected everything imagining you in that. Wear one each day and surprise me with your stunning looks, I will be happy.
He started singing " selayila veedu kattava serndhu vasikka "
Jhanvi blushed and bit her lips while Akhil chuckled at her for being shy.
Jha: Will they not feel bad if you don't buy them anything. Actually I feel bad please let us buy for them too.
Akh: Alright Jaan, we will do but now lets have lunch. I m so hungry.
Jhanvi blushed when he called her Jaan and she bit her lips in shy. Akhil stopped the car before a huge seven star hotel. He slid his hand around her waist and they walked inside. The manager welcomed them and they were taken a private dine room.
Akh: Thank you for the arrangements manager.
Man: you are welcome sir. It is my duty.
Akh: She is my wife Mrs. Jhanvi, Akhil introduced Jhanvi to him.
Once the manager left Jhanvi saw everything in surprise. Akhil saw her and smiled at her.
Akh: don't be surprised, I m one of the board of directors in this chain of hotel. I always wanted to have multi business so as a first step in hotel business I bought 40% shares of this NK group of hotels.
Jha: What other business you do ?
Akh: We focus mainly on CK fashion industry which dad started and I m taking care of it now and with that I started resorts and hotel business. We have 40 resorts and 11 hotels in India and 7 resorts plus 5 hotels out of our country. All our hotels and resorts are named after AK group of hotels. I brought you here because this was my first initiative in doing business on my own.
Jha: Oh, I have heard of AK groups and you own it ? Oh god you are so talented.
AKh: Well I m well talented more than you think angel...you will know with time. He winked at her.
Akh: I did not know exactly what is your favourite. I would like to know your favourite cusine and they will get immediately.
Jha: I prefer veg mostly and like pasta and ice creams are favourite. Most of the times I have curd rice amma prepares for me.
Jhanvi's eyes turned moist and speaking about her mother and hid her worries and smiled at him.
Akh: will you not ask my favourites ?
Jha: I know you like non-veg and chicken dishes most and Italian is your favourite cusine. I used to prepare your food back at Kamini madam home.
Akh: hmm smart. So you noticed my favourites already.
Akhil message the order and saw her drinking water that made her lips wet and inviting.
Their food was served and they spoke less and finished the food. Akhil asked her favourite flavour of ice cream and they were served with black current for Akhil and Chocolate fudge ice cream with choco chips for Jhanvi. Akhil forwarded his cup to Jhanvi to taste it and she took a little to taste. Jhanvi gave the spoon to taste the ice cream from her cup.
Akh: Iwould like to taste it directly rather than using the spoon.
Jhanvi did not understand what he meant and looked at him and he smirked at her and eyed to finish the ice cream. Once they were finished Akhil cupped her cheeks and looked at her intensely.
Akh: I ate a little extra than usual and I must burn the calories but I missed tasting your chocolate fudge too. May be we can do both together. You know 26 calories are burnt when we kiss passionately for one minute. Will you help me in my work out ?
Jhanvi smiled looking down. He lifted her head and leaned in capturing her lips in a slow and gentle kiss which lasted for minutes.
Akh: Chocolate fudge was too good. First time I m tasting it.
Jha Mv: When did he turn such a flirty and cheesy man.
They came out of the hotel and he started driving again. Jhanvi was flustered and looking out.
Akh: Are you still uncomfortable with me Jaan ?
Jha: No, not like that..
Akh: You speak only when I ask something otherwise you don't initiate any conversation. I would like if you are being carefree with me and demand things from me or tell me if I m making you uncomfortable.
Jha: I never had friends except for Ram. Even Liya would never speak to me. Everyone used to avoid me for my face. He was the only friend, so I take sometime to socialize but I will not take long time. Sorry if I disappointed you.
Akh: No I can understand. How long do you know Ram ?
Jha: From the age of 14. I had no one except for maa until Ram came into my life. He used to take care of me all time.
Though Akhil felt possessive about Ram, he could not deny that he had stood for Jhanvi for long years. They could not talk further as they arrived at well known jewel store. Jhanvi looked at Akhil with a pout which made him forget the talk they had and he smiled at her and opened the door for her.
Jha: We will buy only for aunty, Isha and granny ok ?
Akh: You choose for them. I will choose for you.
Jhanvi chose a beautiful necklace for Sheela, a diamond chain, earring set for Isha and gold bangles for granny. Akhil was busy and when Jhanvi saw him, he had chosen 10 sets of different design and size of Jhumkas and so many bangles and modern chains with pendants for her.
Jha: Are you planning to open jewel store ?
Akh: No, these are for you. These will look good when you match with sarees.
Jha: Akhil, are you serious buying so many. I m not a jewel person.
Akh: what did you say ?
Jha: I asked if you are serious in buying all these ?
Akh: No not that, you said something before that ? What did you say ?
Jha: Akhil, I said....she stopped realizing she has said his name fore the first time and closed her mouth in shock.
Akhil chuckled and leaned to her ears.
Akh: We should have been in private when you said my name. I would have kissed the life out of you.
Jha: Sorry......
Akh: No sorry, only Akhil...from now. I will respond only when you call me Akhil. Is that ok angel ?
Jhanvi nodded slightly . Once they were in the car Jhanvi shut her eyes out of tiredness.
Jha: Are you not feeling tired. I feel drained out.
Akh: Now lets head back home and you can have a nap until we reach to save some energy for our little night.
It was almost 6 in the evening when they reached home. Akhil called the maids and informed them to keep the bags in their room except for the jewel box they bought for Sheela, Isha and Kamala. Akhil wanted Jhanvi to give them but she made Akhil to give them so that they would feel happy.
Kamala felt happy seeing Akhil and Jhanvi entering together while Sheela was fuming. Isha stayed quite not showing any expressions.
Kam: Did you buy her everything Akhil ?
Akhil nodded and gave them the jewels they bought for them. Kamala was so happy and prasied their selection. Isha hugged Akhil and winked at Jhanvi for the best choice of selection. Sheela placed the box on the table.
She: My son found time to select this necklace in between emptying the store for his wife. I m so happy. Thank you Akhil.
Kam: Hey Sheela, don't you have your wardrobe filled with more than enough from all these years still you are not happy for what your son and daughter in law bought for you. If you don't want better I will take it. No problem.
Sheela took the box and left to her room. Jhanvi felt bad but Isha squeezed her hand to relax and ignore.
Kam: Akhil, I know you will have to go office tomorrow but you should come early and take Jhanvi to temple. Don't forget. Now both of you must be tired so refresh and take rest.
Akhil went to room and Jhanvi followed him. Akhil shut the door and looked at her worried face.
Akh: You need not worry for whatever mom says. Ignore her and I m here for you Jaan.....
Jhanvi had tears and threw her hands around his neck and hugged him. Akhil was dumbstruck with the sudden demeanor from Jhanvi but he felt happy as it was the first time she has initiated a hug and he reciprocated her and hugged her tightly patting her back.
