Her heart thudded with excitement. “Shivay, we’ll miss having dinner with everyone! We already missed yesterday and the day before.”
His mouth twisted wickedly. “They’ll still think we have jetlag. And besides, they won’t mind since they have been asking for grandchildren.”
She laughed when he walked towards the bedroom.
She recalled the time she had been terrified when her brother told her she was pregnant. Her brother had lied, or someone in the Thakvar mansion had lied to him to protect her thinking he wouldn’t harm his pregnant sister.
When Shivay sent her away to San Francisco, the first thing she had asked the doctor who checked her injuries was if she was pregnant. And when the doctor told her she wasn’t, she felt immense relief.
Although she was glad that she wasn’t pregnant when her brother badly hurt her in the desert, her heart fluttered each time at the thought of falling pregnant with Shivay’s child.
The topic had come up many times during conversations with her mother and Shivay’s parents, but she decided to wait until things settled down in Singoor. There were a lot of uncertainties right then for them to bring an innocent child into the world. Shivay agreed with her decision. She observed that it made him all the more determined to find the identity of Tantra, trace the location of Goddess Shakti’s statue, and work towards unifying clans through alliances and negotiations.
“Finally,” he said, stepping into the massive bedroom with breathtaking panoramic views. But her eyes were focused on the darkly handsome face of her husband.
She smiled, her heart beating in anticipation as Shivay laid her on bed and watched her like she was the most beautiful and precious thing in his life.
“I love you,” he said, lowering his head and kissing her softly on her lips.
There was so much happening in their lives and a lot of uncertainty. But one thing she was certain of was her husband’s love.
“I love you too,” she said, placing her hand on his cheek. “Forever.”
THE END
