From Hell To Heaven

Chapter 23: 23

Dharani POV

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

We reached home. Akash opened the door but before he said "Angel, you have to wear this cloth and

get blindfolded before we can go any further." He handed me a black fabric. First I hesitated.

"Please Angel. Trust me" he give his puppy dog eyes and I cursed myself for giving in so easily. He tied

it around my eyes.

I think he led me upstairs. He held me very carefully. "There is two more steps, be careful." We both

walk upstairs. I heard the room door open. Akash untied the black fabric from my eyes once we are in

the room. I blinked my eyes twice to clear the view. I gasped loudly looking at the picture in front of me.

On the wall the picture of my parents.

Where did he get that picture?

I was shocked to see it. The frame is very big. It's width is almost as wide as the bed. It's height to the

top of the ceiling. I never had my parents pictures, I have one picture in my childhood but one day my

tauji daughter sanaya burn my parents pictures because I didn't cleaned her room properly, seeing my

parents picture in front of me, After so many years, I didn't know what to think. I am just.... struck.

Does he really love me then? Was he saying truth all this time? My vision is blurred because of tears I

think I am going to faint I can't stand straight my head is spinning before I hit the floor Akash held me

and took me in a bridal style towards our bed.

"Angel, Are you okay? What happened to you? Tell me angel. Don't scare me!" He gave me some

water and I drank it.

"Wait, I will call the doctor" he stood up but I stopped him. I hugged him tightly, he taken back by my

action. I cried my heart out.

"Angel please, look I am very scared. Please don't scare me like this. If you don't like the surprise, I will

never do that but please stop crying. I can't see your tears" he said consoling me.

"I am not crying because of you Akash. Thank you so much for this precious gift. You know, this is the

best birthday gift ever. Once again, thank you so much" I said hugging him. He broke our hug and

kissed my forehead.

"You no need to thank me angel. In fact I have to thank your parents for giving this beautiful Angel to

me. But unfortunately, I hurt you a lot in the past and I am ashamed myself, please forgive me angel"

he said crying.

"I forgive you Akash" I said honestly.

"Really?" he asked with his wide eyes.

"Yes" I said and he hugged me tightly.

"Thank you so much Angel. You don't know how happy I am. Thank you so much for forgiving me" he

said and kissed my forehead.

"You deserve my forgiveness Akash. Not just because you brought this jewellery, dresses and the other

gifts, but because this shows how much you are sorry for your deeds. Now that you realised your

mistake, I forgive you." He smiled widely.

"Thank you so much Angel", he said with lot of emotion in his voice.

"But Akash I want to tell you one thing. I forgive you but not love you and trust you now" I said to him.

"You have to win my heart. If you hurt me in this 6 months period and don't earn my trust, I will divorce

you" I said to him firmly because I can't take another heart break.

"Don't worry Angel. I will definitely win your heart and earn your trust before our divorce time, I promise

you" he said and pecked my lips. I blushed. I know that he will definitely win my heart.

"Are you are hungry?" Akash asked. I nodded and he smiled. "Well then, let's eat!"

Then he took me in his arms, in bridal style, downstairs.

"You know I can walk" I said to him.

"How can I let you walk? You are born today, so new born babies do not walk on birthday" he said

teasingly and I giggled.

"You know Angel, I ordered your favourite dish, especially for you" he said.

"How do you know my favourite dish?" I asked him.

"Avinash told me" he said making me gasp.

"What? Brother? But how, I mean" I asked him confusingly.

"When did brother forgive you?" I asked him shockingly.

Then Akash said Avinash and his conversation in office.

"So my brother forgave you?" I asked him.

"Yes" he said while grinning.

"And my parents photo, brother gave it to you right?" I asked him because Bhai also loves my parents

alot.

"No" he said.

"Then?" I asked him frowning.

"Your parents picture was sent by my dad. They were close friends right, so obviously my dad had your

parents picture" he said and I nodded my head.

"Ok Angel, now no more questions. Let's eat. You have no energy in your body. Look at you, you look

very thin. From tomorrow onwards, I think I'll have to feed you." I looked at him with wide eyes.

'Arrogant man!' I muttered.

"You know, I can hear" he said and we laughed.

After eating, we had dessert, my favorite chocolate-covered cream.

"Mmmmmm!" I moaned as I ate the delicious dessert.

"Ufff angel, please don't moan" Akash said groaning.

"What did I do?" I asked looking at him while tears were forming in my eyes.

"Please Angel, don't cry its not your fault. You are so innocent" he said wiping my tears.

"But what did I do? Without my mistake why you are scolding me? I want my answer now" I asked him

sternly.

"So you want answer now? Ok I will tell you." He looked straight into my eyes and crashed his lips on

mine.

oh god

Akash POV

***********

I looked straight into her eyes and the next moment I crashed my lips on her. Her lips were damn soft,

but my kiss was rough. I was trying to answer her by that kiss. I was trying to put my love and emotions

in that kiss. She didn't move not even an inch.

I nipped on her lower lip to get access but she refused.

She is so innocent! Her innocent behavior is making it hard for me.

I sucked her lips hardly and a small gasp left from her mouth and her lips parted a little. I immediately

took it as a chance to enter her mouth.

She tasted like a sweet chocolate. Her smell was driving me damn crazy now.

I roamed my tongue freely in her wet mouth evading each and every corner of her mouth. I ravished

her lips and mouth roughly and hardly.

It was so enthralling, I wanted more. I wanted to taste each and every inch of her. She didn't move

even once, then I slowly and softly kissed her .

I devoured my soul in that kiss. And to my surprise. she kissed me back and moaned out loud.

So my innocent Angel is learning!! I thought and I smirked at her lips.

I was sealing our fate with this kiss.

I was claiming her to be mine. I was making a vow to her that from this moment I will keep her happy, I

will never leave her.

But what about her will she ever accept me. Love me? or trust me?

I broke the kiss which I never wanted but my Angel need oxygen.

I pulled away from her and looked at her and she just crocked her head to left looking at me with a

smile. And that smile just filled my heart with a strange emotion. It felt as if I got everything. I wanted to

kiss her hard once again but somehow I stopped myself from doing so.

"This is my answer Angel" I said to her. She blushed deep red and I started laughing and pinched her

tomato red cheeks.

"Don't tease me" she said shyly.

"Ok, come let's go. Next gift is waiting for you" I said and she widened her big doe eyes. I held her

hand.

After a walk of some few seconds, I approached a small door and slowly I opened the door. I heard her

gasp. I looked at her. Her eyes roamed infront of Kana ji idol. She was smiling and her eyes closed as

she joined her hands palm to palm in front of her kana ji. She murmured something, but I did not catch

the words.

Then she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me "Thank you very much Akash, it means a lot to

me" she said this with beautiful smile on her face. She have the most beautiful smile in the world.

OMG! Her smile is killing me.

"It's my responsibility I should take care of your every wish and no need to thank me Angel" I said and

kissed her forehead.

Yes, I build temple in my home.

I don't believe in god. I blame god because he snatch my mom away from me. I thought God was not

going to bless me. I never asked from God, but still, he gave me a wife beyond my dreams. Now I'm

believing in god. I sighed happily.

I grabbed her hand "There's an another surprise waiting for you" I told her.

"Oh my god! How many surprise you have planned?" she asked me gasping.

"Promise, this one is the last one" I said and took her in a bridal style to my study room.

It felt so good to have her in my arms. She was like my world. I wanted to keep her there forever.

I opened the study room door and put her down. She looked around my room. She smiled looking at

my mother's portrait.

"She is my mom Sharadha. You know my mom died when I was very young. I was very depressed. I

couldn't live without my mom, so once I even tried to kill myself, but you know I was a very small boy. I

can't even try to kill myself correctly" I said. I heard Angel gasping. I looked at her and tears are flowing

in her eyes. I wiped her tears.

"Then slowly, I tried to live my life without my mom. My dad was always busy in his business. I blamed

him in my childhood but now I don't blame him because now I understand his situation. He also lost his

wife, his angel" I said choking. Angel hugged me tightly.

"Then I decided that I will never love anyone in my life. I hate the word love because it makes a person

weak. In fact I never had any affairs in my life and you know, you are my first love. You are the first girl

in my life" I said and she smiled.

"One day I was driving my car to my office and stopped at a traffic signal. That day I saw lot of small

kids begging for their one day food. That moment I made my mind that I have to help these poor people

because my mom always helps poor people. So I built an orphanage in my mom's name. Nobody

knows that I am the one who is running this orphanage. I never wanted anyone to know because I like

my arrogant self" I finally said my heart out to my angel.

"Then one day suddenly dad blackmailed me to marry you. I had no other options left, so I agreed to

marry you. In fact, on our marriage day in the register office, when I saw you for the first time, I liked

you a lot but I thought that you are gold digger. Without knowing a person, how can you marry him? So

I strongly believed that you only want my money, but that's not the exact reason for hurting you. I was

afraid to fall in love with you, your care, your innocence. It always haunted me. So I thought I will make

you leave me and hate me. Then Dhruv misbehaved with you that day. I can't see your vulnerable state

and after your outburst, I understood that you went through hell in childhood without your parents love"

I sighed.

"My mom made me realize my mistake and Shanthi maa made me realize my love for you." I looked at

her tears continuously flowing down her eyes.

"I am a very bad husband. Even on your birthday, I made you cry a lot. I'm sorry Angel" I said wiping

her tears.

"Now I understood your worth in my life and soon I am going to make you understand my love for you" I

said while wiping her tears and she is breathing heavily.

"Now I have to give you this gift. Please accept it Angel" I said and she nodded.

"You are going to be the orphanage owner. All the procedures are completed. You just need to sign the

papers. This is your another gift" I said and gave her the papers.

"But Akash, this is your mom and your property" she said giving back the papers.

"I am giving it to you because now You are to me like my mother,Angel" I said and she suddenly

hugged me tightly.

"Please accept my gift" I said and hugged her back.

"Yes, I accept it Akash and this is the best birthday ever" she told me. I kissed her hair and she rested

her head on my shoulder.

'And she is my best gift ever!' I thought. I looked at my mom's portrait, smiled at her and closed my

eyes.

One song I always sing before I sleep whenever I think of my mom. My mom also joins me and sings

with me in my dreams.

I started to recollect the song.

Mother, where are you?

I've no one else except you.

I searched you, you're missing
