Billionaire’s Love From India

Lavanya glanced at Eden, holding his hand under the table, and blinked her eyes to say she would handle this. “Mom, Eden’s parents are no more in this world. They died in an accident when he was a child.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“What?” Everyone in the room was shocked to know this except for Jai, who already knew about it. A tear escaped Eden’s eye as he strongly held Lavanya’s hand. Inside his heart, he was afraid that they would not accept that he was an orphan. Although, he didn’t care about this because he was facing all of this since his childhood but he was afraid that he would lose Lavanya. He thought they all would tell Lavanya to leave him.

Sakshi stood from her chair and walked to Eden. She wiped his tears. “We can’t bring your parents back, but we are also your parents. You’re not alone anymore. You’ve your family now.”

Eden looked at her with a little smile. “Are you accepting me in your family?”

“Why are you ask…?”

“Dad.” Aakash was about to ask him, but Lavanya shooked her head to stop him.

“Eden, they became your family the day we got married, and you very well know, now mom loves you more than she loves me and Daksh Bhai.” Lavanya pouted, and Eden chuckled.

Eden’s phone started ringing. He retrieved his phone and saw Jaime’s name flashing on the screen. He excused himself to answer the call and went out of the dining room to answer it.

“Lavanya, Why was he asking mom that is she accepting him in this family?” Daksh asked.

Lavanya sighed. “Being an orphan wasn’t easy for him even if he got adopted. Nothing changed for him. The couple who adopted him fulfilled all his needs, but they never loved him. They always made him realize that he was an orphan.” She looked outside at Eden, who was happily talking to Jaime. “He faced lots of problems in this world because no one accepted him.”

She looked at Daksh. “Now, you know why I wasn’t ready to leave him and come back here? He needed me. If I had also left him alone, he would’ve never been able to live.” Her voice became heavy. “He is afraid of losing me.”

Daksh smiled. “That was the reason he asked Dadu to send you to him. He thought that you would accept him and would love him.”

Lavanya nodded. Daksh took a deep breath. “I shouldn’t have told you to come back, leaving him alone. It should’ve been wrong with him if you had come back here, and I shouldn’t have been able to forgive myself for separating him from you. I was angry with you for this, but you did the right thing by not leaving him when I told you to do so. He needs you. Not only you, He needs us also. He needs family.

Eden came back into the room, finishing his phone call. He noticed everyone’s serious expression. “Is everything fine? Why are you all looking serious?”

Daksh moved forward and hugged him. “I am sorry, Eden.”

Eden furrowed his eyebrows, breaking the hug. “What are you apologizing for?”

“When Lavanya called me for the first time from London, I put forth a condition in front of her. That condition was to leave you, and come back here. I am apologizing for thinking about separating you from her.” Daksh looked at Lavanya, then back at Eden. “It was good that she didn’t leave you, otherwise I would’ve never forgiven myself for snatching your happiness from you. I know she is your happiness.”

Eden smiled, lightly. “It’s okay, Brother. I understand that it was hard for all of you to live without her. You’re my elder brother. You shouldn’t apologize to me.”

Daksh asked someone to bring some sweets, and stuffed a piece in Eden’s mouth. “Welcome to our family.”

Lavanya went shopping for Daksh’s wedding with Eden, Daksh, and Sakshi. First, they entered the shop of famous Indian Attires after reaching a famous market. Daksh wrapped his arm around Lavanya’s shoulders. “I want you to choose my wedding outfit.”

“But it’s your wedding. The outfit should be of your choice.” She looked around the shop.

“No, I want you to choose it.” Seeing that Daksh was adamant, She sighed. “What’s the color of Bhabhi’s bridal attire?”

“It’s pink.” Daksh replied in a low voice because Sakshi was also there with them. Lavanya started looking for the outfits, and after minutes of searching with the help of the sales assistant, she selected a designer cream color outfit. “This will look perfect. Try this.”

Daksh took it from her, and the sales assistant leaded him into the changing room. Everyone was surprised to see him when he stepped out as he looked very handsome in that outfit.

Lavanya complimented him. “You’re looking very handsome. Let’s final this one.”

Daksh went back into the changing room, and Lavanya started looking for the outfits for herself and Sakshi. She selected a beautiful light blue saree for Sakshi. She showed it to Daksh when he came out of the changing room, and he liked it.

Lavanya was looking for a beautiful lehenga (Ankle length skirt matched with a designer crop top and scarf) for herself but didn’t like any after trying lots of lehengas. Even Daksh was tired of waiting now because she didn’t like any of the lehengas.

She looked at Eden in hope. He stepped forward to select a lehenga for her. He looked at all the lehengas, and finally selected a pistachio color lehenga, heavily embroidered with beautiful colorful flowers and peacocks. Lavanya really loved it. “Thank you so much. It’s really beautiful. Your choice is very nice.”

He smirked, and whispered in his ears. “Indeed, my choice is nice. You’re also my choice.”

Lavanya blushed and headed inside the changing room to try the lehenga. Eden’s eyes got glued to her as he took in her beautiful appearance in that lehenga. Sakshi, and Daksh smiled looking at her because she was looking gorgeous in it.

Coming back from the changing room, she selected four outfits for Eden, color coordinating with her lehenga to try. She gave the outfits to him. He frowned. “Do you want me to put on a fashion show for you here?”

Daksh laughed at him. Lavanya glared at him and turned to Eden. “Please, try all of these. I want you to look perfect at the wedding. All our relatives will come. You will meet them for the first time. You should look perfect.”

He agreed, and went inside the changing room. He tried the outfits, and showed them to Lavanya. He actually felt like he was doing a fashion show for her. She selected the best outfit for him out of all the four outfits.

After choosing the outfits for Aakash and Jai, they went to another shop where Lavanya brought all her accessories and Sakshi brought lots of stuff for Niharika.

They all wandered around from shop to shop buying lots of stuff until it was dark. They all were very tired, but also happy.

The functions of the wedding started by praying before the god to bless the couple and family. The entire house was decorated with flowers, lights, and decorative shiny clothes. Today was the haldi function (A part of an Indian wedding ritual in which paste of turmeric is applied on the groom’s and bride’s body before the wedding to protect them from bad omen).

Daksh was wearing a yellow kurta pajama. Sakshi was busy preparing for the ritual. Lavanya came downstairs, looking for Eden. She went to Daksh and asked, “Bhai, Have you seen Eden?”

Daksh smiled, pointing towards the living room. Lavanya started feeling jealous, looking at the scene in front of her.
