I just loved how he showed the raw male alpha power and control over his car. With his sleeves rolled up to show his strong muscles flex as he changed the gear and steered the wheel. His veins visible through the skin of his hand making me silently admire them.

He stopped the car almost at the top of the cliff from where the snow-clad peaks of Himalayas were visible. The clouds kissed them ever so lightly as the sun shined upon them making them glitter.

Together we sat in the car, relishing the beauty of nature after Viaan opened the roof again. We spent our time learning more about each other. He turned out to be a really interesting person with all the places he had been to, all the languages that he knew, all the experiences he had. Munching over a few Nachos, I listened to him opening up to me. Apparently, my husband had asked the butler to pack us snacks and lunch for the trip which was stuffed in the trunk.

I couldn't believe that he had worked as a bartender and barista in his uni days to pay his tuition. He and my other brothers-in-law had been in a band to snag some extra dollars at clubs and parties. And he made me believe that they were pretty good too. He used to play the keyboard and sometimes even sang. It was mostly Neel and Vikrant who were the lead singers.

We had just finished our sandwiches for lunch when we continued to exchange information about each other.

"Then why didn't you continue with the band?" I asked curiously.

"It was just something we used to do for a living. We liked it as a hobby but we weren't that passionate about it. It was just Aaryan who wanted to pursue his career in entertainment industry. Our goals were something else," he shrugged.

Putting my index finger to my chin, I tapped it, "I want to see you perform someday. I bet it will be amazing."

"I've lost touch and become rusty. I don't think you will be enjoying the out of sync notes being played," he chuckled, putting a nacho into his tempting mouth.

"And you are being humble over there."

"Aren't I always?" He turned to wink at me, making me roll my eyes playfully.

"Except the part where you try to act as if you can handle me." I tried to hide my smile while it was his turn to shake his head.

The sun was setting over the mountain ranges making a beautiful reddish-orange hue spread over the sky. We had spent hours together that afternoon. A comfortable silence had settled between us as we watched the sunset. I was still in awe at the scene.

"I always plan everything that I want to have in my life. But you, you were the only thing that happened to me out of my control," he suddenly said out of the blue, making me turn to look at him in surprise. His dark eyes glimmered with passion, his lips twitched into a tender smile. His face in the light of the setting sun looked even more beautiful than the Kanchenjunga and Mount Everest put together that we had spotted some time ago.

He turned his head to fix his eyes onto mine.

"How did I get so lucky to end up with you?" I whispered in awe.

"Guess, you were never meant for that old man or the other man who didn't realize your worth," his hand circled my waist as he gently guided me onto his lap.

"Because you were always meant for me." With that, his lips met mine in a tender kiss as his emotions poured out telling all the things that he had never said before. His fingers guided into my hair pulling me closer for an open kiss, I let my hands wind around his neck reducing the space between. His other hand caressed the skin of my waist, waking up my hunger for his touch.

His tongue entangled with mine, making me accept the dream like reality. I wanted to live in this moment forever but then time never stopped for anyone. We had to withdraw for air but ended up placing our foreheads together as we stared into each other's eyes. I couldn't believe that this beautiful creature was mine. He slightly pecked my lips again making me giggle.

Today was living a fairy tale. But I forgot that every fairy tale had a villain. A villain that didn't want to let the prince and his princess live 'their' happily ever after. But then again this wasn't a fairy tale but reality because we didn't have one villain but many...

40. CHALEES

Bythe time we reached home, it was a little after eleven in the night and I was slightly drowsy. The romantic candlelight dinner at a high-end restaurant was his other surprise for the day. We maintained playful mood throughout our dinner.

He laughed at how out of the scene I initially felt but quickly recovered like a pro to prevent him from feeling awkward because of me. I had thought that he hadn't realized it but then was there anything that could escape the eagle eyes of my husband? Guess not. It touched my heart that he was trying to make the day special for me, well even succeeded with flying colors.

Although it was my first time on a date but I could easily tell that Viaan was the most romantic man I had ever met.

The valets ran to open the doors of our car as soon as Viaan stopped it. Thanking the valet, I got down before walking towards the main door. Soon I felt the warm hand of my husband's on the small of my back as we climbed up the patio stairs in sync. I loved the way we fit together like the missing pieces of a puzzle.

We hadn't even properly entered the house when Aaryan rushed to Viaan and whispered something in his ear. The low murmurs that were exchanged had made both of their faces harden. I couldn't hear anything from where I stood though I wanted to.

Viaan asked something to which Aaryan nodded and looked up at me smiling innocently as nothing had happened.

Viaan turned and walked out of the door again while Aaryan came to stand beside me.

"Where is he going?" I asked as my eyes trailed behind Viaan's departing form.

"Something came up. Why don't we go to my studio? I'll show you the new tune that I've composed for the upcoming album. I needed some input for it," he put his hand around my shoulder guiding me to the opposite side of the house that I had yet to venture.
