Akash Pov
***********
I woke up as I heard my phone alarm ringing. I turned it off hiding my face in the pillow as the sunlight
were falling straight on my face.
"Akash, get up or else you will get late to office" I heard an angelic voice as soft as melodic tone.
I woke and stretched my hands and looked around to find my angel in front of me smiling.
"Good morning Akash" angel said.
Indeed it is a good morning because I saw her face today first in morning.
"Good morning angel" I said smiling widely.
"Yesterday you told me that you have an important meeting, so please go and get ready. I will prepare
breakfast" angel said and left the room.
I went to bathroom and got dressed in a black suit and a white shirt.
Today I am very nervous because I have to finalize a Jewelry project. Its really a very big project. If I
get that project, my company will reach international level.
I went downstairs for breakfast and saw my angel sitting at the dinning table waiting for me. She served
me breakfast and I ate it silently since my thoughts were fully on that jewellery project. I heard angel
clearing her throat. I raised my eyebrows at her. "What happened angel? Are you okay?" I asked her.
"I am fine. I think you don't like the breakfast today?" she asked me sadly.
"What? Why are you asking like that? You prepared an amazing breakfast, angel" I said to her.
"But you are not eating well. You are just playing with it. So I thought you didn't like the food" she
pointed at my plate.
"I was thinking about something else, sorry angel" I said to her.
"Akash, if you don't mind, then you can share your problems with me" angel said.
"Its nothing Angel, leave it. I don't want to give you any unnecessary tension" I said to her.
"Akash you know, I thought I am your friend and you can share anything with me" she said holding my
hand.
Oh my god!
Is she really My wife? Now a days she is talking to me so freely without any fear. I was surprised when
I heard her saying that we are friends. Finally my angel is comfortable with me. I smiled happily.
"Of course you are my friend, my love, my wife, my angel, my world, my life, my everything" I said
making her blush bending down her face.
"Akash, now if you consider me as your friend, then tell me what's bothering you" she asked firmly.
"Angel, today I have a meeting with an important business man, Mr.Knight. His daughter is getting
married soon. His daughter wants traditional jewellery designs for her wedding. So today he is going to
have a look at our designs. If he gets impressed, he will give us the project. You know what angel? If
we get the project, our company will reach international level. So that's why I am a bit tensed" I said to
her.
"Don't worry Akash. You will definitely get the project. All the best" Angel said to me and I smiled at her.
"Now I am a little confident since you wished me" I said to her.
"Ok Angel, I have to go now. Bye, take care. See you soon and don't miss me so much" I winked at her
and kissed her forehead. She laughed and waved bye.
After an hour, I reached my office. I can see the staffs very tensed because if we get this project, I will
increase their salary and can even give them a bonus.
Soon my PA Aman entered my cabin. "Sir, Mr.Knight and his daughter are waiting in conference room.
Shall we leave?" he asked me.
"Yes." We reached the conference room.
I greeted Mr.Knight and his daughter. We settled and started our presentation. After an hour, we
finished our presentation.
Mr.Knight liked the jewellery design but his daughter wasn't satisfied. She expected a more traditional
and antique look.
Oh god! I think the deal is off! I sighed sadly.
Then suddenly Mr.Knight said "Mr.Akash, I will give you 5 days. If you present a new presentation
design within 5 days and if I satisfied, I will sign the deals." He left and I sat there silently.
"Sir, what should we do now? I showed all our jewellery designs but she wasn't satisfied with any of
them. But moreover, where will we search for a new designer in 5 days?" my PA Aman asked me.
"I am also thinking about the same Aman. Where the hell will I get new designer in 5 days? ?Now a
days nobody likes to wear big traditional jewellery. So where will I search for a new traditional
designer?" I was frustrated and left the office tried.
I arrived home at 5:00 pm. I reached my room. Without even changing my dress, I fell asleep but
before I silently sent my wish to mom.
"Mom! Please help me, I want new designer" I said and drifted into deep sleep.
Dharani Pov
************
I was arranging my closet, sorry sorry, not closet, my mini shopping mall because Akash brought me a
mini shopping mall for my birthday. I will never forgot yesterday. He gifted me my parents' pictures. I
was really touched by his gesture. He regretted his action in past and I understand his situation. He
was really working hard for my forgiveness, so I forgave him.
Yesterday, he opened his heart out to me, how he went through his childhood without his mom. My
heart broke into a million pieces when he said he tried to kill himself. I sighed sadly but I am truly proud
of him. He is really a very hard working business man.
After arranging all the dress to closet perfectly. I went to kitchen and started preparing ghee sweet for
god.
Akash told me that today he has an important meeting. "god! Please let him get the project. See, I'm
making your favorite ghee sweet!' I silently prayed.
Suddenly, I heard Akash car sound. I came out of the kitchen. I'm standing in the living hall but Akash
didn't notice me. He went straight to our bedroom.
What happened to him? Oh god! I think he didn't get the project.
'Dear God ! Your ghee laddu is cancelled' I said angrily and stomped my feet on the ground.
I went to our bedroom to see Akash asleep on the bed without changing his dress. I slowly walked to
him and removed his shoes, wrist watch. Then slowly I reached to his tie but he opened his eyes. He
looked at me intently and tugged my hand. I fell on his chest. He turned me underneath him and placed
his head on my chest making me gasp. My heart was beating very fast.
"Aa..ka.sh Akash, what are you doing? Leave me" I breathed heavily.
"Please Angel, just few minutes. I need you, I am very sad today" he said sadly.
"What happened? Didn't they like the design?" I asked him.
"No angel, Mr.Knight liked my design but his daughter wasn't satisfied. She wants big and more
traditional and unique jewellery designs. So Mr.Knight gave me 5 days. The only barrier for the project
is time. We have to search for a new designer within 5 days. Where will I get new designer?" he said
sadly.
I caressed his hair softly. "Don't worry Akash, you will definitely find a new designer soon" I said to him
softly.
"I don't think so" he said making me worried for him. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Akash, you trust me right?" I asked him.
"I do angel" he said immediately.
"Then wait and watch. You will definitely get new designer in 5 days, trust me" I said to him.
"I trust your words angel" he said to me.
"Come, let's have dinner and then you sleep" I said to him.
"No angel! Please, I am not hungry. You go and eat. I want to sleep" he said but his stomach growled
making me laugh.
"See your stomach answered me correctly. Now come and eat your dinner" I said and he smiled
embarrassingly.
Then we ate our dinner and reached our room. We lied down on the bed and Akash fell asleep soon.
He never slept without kissing my forehead and saying good night but today I think he is worried about
the new project.
I sighed and got up from the bed. I sat on the study table. I can't see Akash sad. I can't see his
defeated face even though he is very much capable of doing everything. Not knowing how to help him,
I took a notebook and pencil. It would have been nice if I knew how to make jewellery designs.
'Let's try Dharani, who will question you? Your friends always told you right that you draw very well in
school?' my mind said.
Yes, I liked to draw in my childhood. Once I participated in a drawing competition in school and
Sanaya, my tauji's daughter also took part in the same competition. But I defeated her and won the first
prize. Sanaya couldn't take that defeat. She cried the whole day sitting at home. My tauji got angry
since because of me his daughter was crying and got fever. So, he beat me the whole day and locked
me in the store room. After that incident, I never drew anything till now.
I sighed. But today I am going to try. I started drawing some random designs. I drew some designs for
the whole night and soon darkness consumed me. I slept on the chair itself.
