　　 Chapter 26

　　 Akira tried hard to find an interns.h.i.+p at multiple places, but she had no luck . But she still kept trying . She would scout Linkedin and all Job portals every single day . With every pa.s.sing day, she was losing hope but she had to stay strong for her brother . But she had no idea that her guardian angel Vikram had different plans for her .

　　 In the afternoon, Vikram's mother called her up and asked her to come for dinner along with Mike . Vikram's mother doted on Akira and given a chance she would marry Vikram and Akira off in a blink of an eye . She was aware of her whole situation and wanted to comfort her as much as possible .

　　 Akira called up Mike and said, "Come home early . Aunty has invited us for dinner ok?" .

　　 Mike thought for a moment and then said - "I can't Aki . I have some project prep work to finish up . Please say sorry on my behalf," and he disconnected . Akira half-heartedly decided to get ready . She knew that once she reaches there, she would have to face question coming from all directions from her Aunty .

　　 She started rummaging through her closet as she wanted to wear something nice for dinner to her Aunty's place . She finally chose a summery frill skirt and a sleeveless peach tank top, She did her hair and decided to put a bit of lip tint for a change . She wanted to look all good and happy in front of her Aunty else she knew that she will worry a lot .

　　 While she was dabbing the tint with her finger on her lips she got a call from Vikram - "h.e.l.lo princess! Are you ready to be picked up?"

　　 "Are you coming to pick me up?", asked an amused Akira .

　　 "I am outside your place . But take your own time," Vikram said and kept the call .

　　 Akira then rushed to pick her wallet and threw it in her bag along with her phone . She rushed to her shoe rack and halted . Vikram's words rhymed in her head again - "I would hate it if you would change even one percent because of him" . She paused for a while and then took out her white canvas shoe and wore it .

　　 After coming out of the house she saw Vikram leaning on his car on the other side of the road . The moment he saw her, his heart skipped a beat . Her floral skirt kept swaying slightly in the wind and with every step that she took it felt like she was dancing in the clouds . Her slender waist and her smooth skin made him want her even more . Her red lips looked like she had devoured on hundreds of strawberries . She looked like a picture-perfect portrait .

　　 She crossed the road and came close to him and said, "Hi" .

　　 "Mmmm, get in the car," muttered Vikram under his breath and loosened his tie . He was unable to think straight and was losing all his focus . His fort of coldness and calm demeanor was turning into shambles . Even in the slightly cold breeze, his ears were burning and palms were sweating .

　　 "No hug for me today?", asked Akira like a child and started grazing the pavement with her shoes . She wanted Vikram to notice that she wore shoes again but it looked like he was too b.u.mmed with something . Since there was no reply she grumpily took her seat in the car .

　　 "Can you put your seat belt on?", Vikram asked .

　　 Akira didn't reply anything and silently put her seatbelt on . She wasn't able to understand why he was so angry with her . She knew that probably he was stressed out because of work but her heart couldn't take this version of Vikram .

　　 Once she had put on the seat belt, Vikram started his car and sped through . In no way, he could make her understand the thoughts in his head and the feelings in his heart . How could he explain it to her that he didn't want to hug her because he felt like tracing every inch of her . He didn't say anything about her shoes because deep down he was so happy that she kept her words . He wanted to kiss her and tell her how much it meant to him . He couldn't tell her how in thousand different ways he wanted to tell her that he loved her .
