Billionaire’s Love From India

The car stopped at the signal. Ray looked back and noticed that she was looking disturbed. “She is not looking well. I will tell her about this some other time.”

Sakshi was worried about Daksh. “Daksh has locked himself in the room ever since he has talked to Lavanya. You should talk to him.”

Aakash touched her cheek. “Don’t worry. You very well know that Lavanya is everything for Daksh. He can’t stay angry with her for too long.”

He went in front of Daksh’s room and knocked on the door. “Open the door, Daksh.”

Daksh opened the door. His eyes were bloodshot red, and his hairs were disheveled.

“I want to talk to you.” Aakash went inside his room.

“Dad, if you want to talk about Lavanya, then please, I don’t want to talk about her.” Daksh said, looking at Aakash, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Aakash ignored him. “Why are you behaving like this after your call with Lavanya? Do you know that your mother is worried about you?”

“Dad, you know the reason for my behavior. She can’t take such a big decision willingly. There must be a reason behind it.” Daksh took a deep breath. “I wanted her to tell me that reason. I will help her to get out of that situation. She doesn’t need to be afraid of anyone till I am with her.”

“You’re right. I have also talked to her, and she told me that there is a reason behind her decision, but she said that it’s good if no one gets to know about it.” Aakash hoped for him to understand this.

“This means that she has unwillingly taken the decision to live with that man!” Daksh stated.

Aakash shook his head. “She has been living with that boy for one year. There’s a possibility that she is really in love with him.” Aakash stood and ruffled his hair. “Don’t misunderstand her, and try to understand her. Trust her and her decisions. I know you can’t stay angry with her.”

Aakash left his room. Daksh sighed. “Sorry, Dad. I will not forgive her till she comes here with that boy.”

Lavanya was sitting in the living room after coming back from college. Eden was already at home as he ended his work early today. He came downstairs and saw her sitting in the living room. He smiled and went inside the living room, but she didn’t notice him because she was lost in her own world.

He gently tapped on her shoulder. She looked up at him. “Y…you’re al…already back from work.”

“Yes, there wasn’t much work today.” He sat beside her. “You look disturbed. Are you fine?” He touched her forehead.

“I…I am fine.” She held his hand. “I talked to my brother.”

“What did he say?” He quickly asked her.

A tear rolled down her cheek as she replied with a heavy heart. “To leave you.”

He removed his hand from her hand. “You…you’re kidding, right.”

She shook her head. “He asked me to leave you and come back to India.” She hugged him. “I can’t live without you.”

He thought for a moment, broke the hug, and said, “Even I can’t live without you, but I also can’t live in this guilt that you are staying away from him because of me. I already feel guilty for keeping you away from him for one year.” He touched her cheek. “Leave me and go back to India.”

She was so shocked after hearing his words that she wanted to slap him. It wasn’t easy for him to say these words, but he didn’t want Lavanya to live without her family because he knows what it feels like to live without family.

She grabbed his collar. “How dare you say this? Is it that easy for you to live without me?”

“Lavanya, I don’t want…,” She cut him off. “I don’t care about what you want, but I want you. I want to stay with you.” She touched her forehead. “I am at that phase of life where I can’t leave anyone, neither you nor my brother.”

“You should listen to me, Lavanya. Just go there.” He wiped her tears.

“Go from here. Leave me alone.” She covered her face with her palms.

“Lavanya, I can explain why I am saying this. You should…” Before he could even complete, she stood from the sofa, went upstairs, and locked herself in the room.

She dialed Aakash’s number. He immediately answered it. “Hello, princess.”

“Da…Dad…” Aakash panicked hearing her broken and heavy voice. “Lavanya, Are you fine?”

She didn’t answer his question and asked, “Have you talked to Bhai (Brother)?”

“I did talk to him, and I hope he understands everything soon. Give him some time. He will be fine.” Aakash paused. “He thinks that you unwillingly took this decision.”

She clutched the phone tightly in her hand. “In the beginning, I was unwilling to stay with him, but now, I like his company. I like how he cares about me, and he loves me.”

“You know that I always wanted you to have a husband who can love you more than me. As your father, I am really very happy for you, but I really want to know the reason behind your decision to stay with him. I hope this isn’t related to your grandfather.” She panicked when Aakash mentioned grandfather. Her brain stopped working. “Dad, I will talk to you later. Take care of yourself. Bye.”

“Okay, I will wait for your call.”

She cut the call and took a deep breath while facepalming herself. “You’re right, Dad. It is related to grandfather. In fact, everything happened because of him.”

Jai was sitting in his room. He wasn’t worried about Daksh or Lavanya but for himself. “What will Aakash and Daksh do when they get to know that everything that happened with Lavanya is because of me? Will Daksh understand me and forgive me?
