From Hell To Heaven

Chapter 28: 28

Dharani POV

One week flew by easily and today is the day we have to submit the presentation to Mr.Knight. His son

is also coming to see our presentation. Yesterday, Akash asked me to deliver the presentation. I was

very scared. In fact, I literally begged him. Even so, he gives me strength and helped me a lot on giving

a successful presentation. However, I am a bit nervous. I know it's a very important deal, and we want

it to be successful at any cost. He helped me to practice giving presentation. He suggested some tips

to improve myself.

I was in my thoughts when I heard my cabin door opening. Akash stood in the door.

"Angel, ready to go?" he asked.

"Yes" I said to him nervously.

"Don't be nervous. I am there for you, and I am sure you won't let me down. I trust you" he said to me.

"I will never break your trust Akash" I said looking into his eyes.

"All the best angel" Akash kissed my forehead making me smile. I adjusted my hair and white blazer,

before we walked into the meeting room.

We both stood in front of the long table in the meeting room, waiting for everyone, as they were coming

in one after the other.

Yes...I was definitely nervous but I was also determined to nail this presentation because for my

husband.

Finally, Mr.Knight's, his son and his daughter walked in and headed straight to his seat in the head on

the table which was directly in front of me. I took a look around and saw everyone seated.

I took a deep breathe and relaxed myself. I started my presentation. I proceeded with the presentation

by showing some slides. I described the design in which stone work held the important place of the

jewellery and how it gives a traditional and unique look. Then I switch on the projector. I explained each

and every design that appeared at the screen. I explained the designs and colours related to the

jewellery and how it gives attention to the bride.

"And that is all I made for this presentation" I finished with a smile as I ended the presentation. As soon

as I finished it, there was a round of applause for me. I saw Akash's eyes shining with pride, which

made me smile.

"Good job Mrs. Mehra!" Mr.Knight said, and I thanked him softly.

"Thanks for designing the amazing jewellery for me" Mr.Knight daughter, Ms. Mia Knight congratulated

me.

"Congratulations Mam"Aman shook his hand with mine. Soon the meeting hall was empty as everyone

moved out congratulating me, and I was politely smiling at them.

All I was honestly looking forward, was to speak with my husband and share my happiness with him.

He is the sole reason for my happiness and my respect today.

Suddenly, Mr.Knight's son came to me.

"Hi I'm Vincent. Vincent Knight. Nice meeting you. You did the great job!" Vincent smiled at me. I smiled

back.

"Hi, I'm Dharani. Nice meeting you too Mr .knight" I said to him.

"You are beautiful Ms.Dharani and oh, please call me Vincent" he said as he kissed my hand.

Idiot! How can he kiss me like that? This creepy guy!! If Akash sees this, what will he think about me?

"It's Mrs.Dharani Akash Mehra, not Ms.Dharani" I heard cold voice behind me and I saw Akash staring

at him with his burning red eyes. He held me by my waist as he came closer. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Vincent kept looking at me from top to bottom. I felt uncomfortable and moved in a little to Akash.

"You got a really beautiful wife Mr.Mehra" Vincent commented. Akash tightened his grip around me. I

can see he is trying his best to control his anger.

"If your talks are over Vince, can I talk to Mr.Mehra?" I heard Mr.Knight, Vincent dad's voice.

Thanks god!

"Mr.Mehra, I want you to arrange a fashion show for this jewellery design within two days. I will

recommend you some models." Mr.Knight said to Akash.

"Sure Mr.Knight, we will arrange for a fashion show day after tomorrow" Akash replied.

"Ok Mr.Mehra. Vince, can we leave?" Mr.Knight asked his son.

"Yeah, sure dad. Let's leave" He gave me one last look before leaving. I signed and turned to Akash.

Before I could say anything, Akash grabbed my arm and pulled me out along with him. He kept walking

fast, and I tried to walk fast along with him.

"Akash, slow please," He turned to looking at me. His eyes softened.

"I am sorry. I just... I got angry when he was looking at you that way! I exactly want to kill him right

now!" he shouted angrily.

"It's okay. Calm down Akash, please" I tried to comfort him while walking to his cabin. Finally, we are

inside his cabin.

"How can I? That bloody! He kissed your hand! I can't tolerate it. You are only mine and I have every

right over you. You are my wife. You are my angel. You are only mine, understand!" he shouted and

pulled me to him. His hands were around my waist holding me in a tight grip. I shivered in his arm

remembering the past Akash.

"I am not some possession Akash. I am also a human, and I too have feelings" I said with tears flowing

down my eyes.

How can he say that I am only his? Only he has been right over me? I accept that he is my husband,

but I am not an object to be owned by someone. I am a human, and he should respect my feelings too.

I didn't like his possessive character. I heard Akash taking in a deep breath.

"I am sorry angel, if I scared you. I know you are neither an object nor possession to be owned to be

me. You are my world. You are my everything. Please forgive this idiot husband of yours." He said

pleadingly.

My tears were continuously rolling down my cheeks. I was very happy to give my best in the

presentation. I wanted to hug him and thank him, but I didn't except my happiness to live this short.

"Angel, please say something" Akash pleaded.

"I don't like it when you behave like the past Akash" I said pouting.

"Ok. I promise I will never behave like that again. Please forgive me for one last time" he said and

kissed my pout. I blushed lightly.

"So, am I forgiven?"he asked hopefully.

"Yes" I nodded my head and smiled.

"You did a fabulous job Angel! I am very proud of you!" he smiled at me.

"Thanks to you. Its because of you that I did without any fear" I said to him.

"Anything for my angel. So let's party!" he told.

"Party?" I asked.

"Yeah, let's go out for dinner" he said.

"No. no. Today I will make your favorite dish for dinner" I said.

"But angel ...." I cut him off.

"No but and ifs. I will make dinner today at our home, and that's final" I ordered him.

"You look so hot, when you order me like this. I loved it" he said trying to kiss my lips, but I tilted my

head and his kiss landed on my cheek.

"Akash, behave. This is the office. Anyone may enter here" I said to him looking around.

"Oh ok. So you have no problem when I continue this in our home, right?" he grinned, and I blushed.

"God! You are unbelievable." I pushed him little and ran to my cabin hearing his laughter behind.

Soon we finished our office work and left the building.

We entered home. I went into the kitchen to make Akash's favorite dish. I want to thank him for trusting

me. Today I successfully give the presentation, and I didn't break his trust. Last week, we went to the

restaurant, and he told me about his likes and dislikes. So now I know his preferred food. So I am going

to prepare his preferred food mushroom pulao and Egg masala and dessert chocolate cake. I hope he

likes it.

I finished making the pulao and egg masala and now I am baking the cake. I am adding some cashew,

pista to the chocolate flour and mixing it with my hand. My hair is disturbing me, and I am blowing it but

still it is again falling down my face.

"Angel, what are you doing?" I heard Akash voice.

"I am baking chocolate cake for you" I said to him. He watched me with some unreadable emotion in

his eyes.

"What happened Akash? Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yes, I am fine. Mom always bakes chocolate cake for me when I was a kid. I miss my mom" Tears

slipped from his eyes. I don't know what took over me by seeing his tears, I wiped his tears

immediately with my hands and stunned looking at him.

OMG! What did I do?

I wiped his face in my chocolate cream hands and now cream smeared in his face. I am continuously

looking at him with fear.

"Angel, why are looking at me like that?" he asked.

"Woah actually Ak... Akash, your face" I stammered. He touches his face and was shocked.

"Angel, you applied cream on my face?" he asked.

"What? No, that was an accident" I answered him immediately.

"But you have to get a punishment for this" he said and tugged my hand.

I bumped into his hard-rock chest. He came slowly came into my face and kept my hair back in its

position. He touched his cream cheek with my cheek. I closed my eyes tightly because I can't see

directly into his eyes. I can't handle those butterflies in my stomach. He started brushing his face to

mine. His closeness is affecting me very badly. Then he slowly kissed my forehead, nose and I think

next he will kiss me on my lips. I was waiting for his lips to claim mine, but I can't sense any movement.

My lips are still waiting, but he is not kissing me. I slowly opened my eyes, and he is not here. I am

standing all alone in this kitchen. He left me, and I felt to disappoint and rejected.

'But why Dharani? Why do you feel disappointed and rejected? You don't love him, right? Then why?'

my inner voice asked me.

'I don't know' I answered.

'Are you falling in love with him Dharani?' my inner voice asked.

'No, no, I don't love him. How can I easily forget what he did to me in the past?' I yelled at my inner

voice.

'So when he did not kiss, why you feel sad? You don't love him right? Then why did you let him kiss

you? You don't trust him. Now that's final' I said sternly.

'Ok ok, now you don't love him, I agree. However, soon you will realize your love.' my inner voice

replied.

I sighed and continued baking the cake. After 20 minutes, I finished it.

I arranged the dinner on the dining table and went into the bedroom to take a shower. When I reached

the bedroom, Akash wasn't here. Where is he? Even so, I thanked kana ji that he is not here because I

don't want to face him now.

Uff, oh not again Dharani! I went into the bathroom to take a hot shower leaving behind my thoughts.

Akash POV

***********

I heard water running sound from the bathroom. I think angel is taking a shower. I felt very bad when I

left her kitchen like that.

Because I am afraid. If I kiss her, then I may not be able to control myself. I don't want to hurt her. I

don't want to take advantage of her innocence because today I want to make her mine, so badly.

Today's morning incident flashed into my mind. When my angel was giving the presentation, explaining

about the jewellery design beautifully, this Vincent guy was giving her lustful looks every now and then.

He even kissed my angel hand creepily, flashing his stupid smile to my angel. I was almost going to

punch him, but Mr.knight's entry stopped me from doing that.

When he left, Vincent again looked at my angel one last time, from head to toe. That's the point I lost

my control. I dragged my angel to my cabin and started shouting at her though it's not her fault. Then I

realized my mistake, and I promised her that I will never behave like that again. Now in the kitchen,

when she was baking cake for me, I got emotional remembering my mom who left me in between.

However, now I am not alone. My angel is there for me. Then suddenly the emotional surrounding

turned into a romantic one. I want her so badly but only if she equally wanted me. Only when she

accepts me with love, I will make her mine completely. That's the reason I left her like that and went to

our bedroom balcony.

I went to bed and sat when she came out of the washroom. She looked at me with some emotions in

her eyes which unfortunately I can't pin point correctly.

Angel was wearing a simple pink saree. How can she look beautiful in a simple saree, without any

makeup?

'Because she is an angel!' my mind voice answered.

'Yes, she is' I agreed to my mind voice.

Then we went to the dinning table, and she served me my favorite dish, mushroom pulao and egg

masala. I remembered telling her my favourites last week.

A smile crept on my lips. We ate in complete silence. This silence was suffocating me because we

always talk while eating.

"Angel, the food is so delicious. Thank you" I started the conversation but she just simply smiled.

"Angel, tomorrow is Sunday. So how about we go shopping?" I asked her.

"Why do we have to go shopping? I think you are losing your memory. You already brought me so

much that if I want anything, I will just go to my closet and will buy it. I mean to take it" she taunted me.

Damn! I embarrassed myself.

"So, how about we continue watching conjuring movies?" I asked her. She suddenly spilled the water

on table and started coughing.

Oh god! I can't control my laughter looking at her horror-stricken face. I burst out laughing. She glared

at me, with her big doe eyes.

"Did you get to know that I was scared?" she asked innocently.

"Yes, I knew you were scared but your were very stubborn to accept it. So I pretended to be scared and

asked you to switch it off." She smiled at me sheepishly.

"Angel, never try to hide anything from me. Your fear, your confusion, your happiness, your hurt, your

pain. Please share with me everything. I am always here for you, ok?" I looked at her. She is in some

deep thoughts. I, not wanting to disturb her, so I stood up and went to the kitchen and spotted the

chocolate cake waiting for me in the counter. I took it in my hands and started eating it. Chocolate

melted in my mouth.

Wow! It's so delicious!

Angel entered the kitchen and started washing the dishes while I stood there admiring her. Then we

went into our room. She started removing her bangles and earrings. I can feel something is bothering

her. Before I could ask her anything, she suddenly started screaming.

"Ahaaaaaaaaaa Akash!!" She screamed.
