57 Giving Her Confidence (1/2)

Almost in about 30 minutes Akash and Varsha reached Siddhi Gardens where the party of young entrepreneurs is being organized. Akash drove his car slowly toward the parking passing in front of the main gate of Siddhi Gardens.

Varsha could see some boards or hoardings hanging on the boundary wall, front gate an also in the vicinity which have different things written on them like 'Pune Municipal Corporation Welcomes Young Entrepreneurs' or 'Ministry of Industries and Commerce, Maharastra State Welcomes You'. There were also some boards pointing toward the entrance, reception and parking lot.

Some couples were walking through the gates. There are also some police officials to manage security and discipline arrangements. Some young people in professional attire are carrying folders or laptop bags and walking toward the gate.

Looking at the curious gaze of Varsha Akash explained ”As you must have heard, today is not only a party but also 100 selected business graduates will present their ideas in the event hall. Young people and other businessmen present might like their ideas and partner with them or invest in their business. So, this event is also an opportunity for young businessmen and investors. So, those people carrying bags and folders might be those business graduates.”

Akash drove his car slowly in the parking. Akash parked his car at a far corner of the parking lot. He got down and then helped Varsha to get down.

Varsha looked around and said ”There was much space near to the main gate. We might have to walk a bit to reach there now as we have parked a bit farther.”

Akash smiled and said, ”If we leave the car at a distance, it gives you enough time to relax and adjust when you walk to the venue of the event. You can also look around to get a feeling of surroundings and people.”

After saying this when Akash looked toward Varsha, he found her looking toward somewhere else. When he followed her gaze, he found there was another couple who has parked their car just now and have walked toward event venue holding hand in hand. Seeing her dazed expression Akash smiled. He came to her side and asked: ”Where are you lost?”

Varsha felt startled and then felt shy on his proximity and said while trying to hide the blush on her face ”Nothing.”

”Were you not looking at that couple? Do you think they are acting strange by holding their hands in public?” Akash asked teasingly. He is in no mood to let her go so easily. He wanted her to open up a bit and not act so timid.

Varsha looked at the smiling face of Akash and then blushed and said ”Are you making fun of me? I really did not think so.”

Akash looked toward her and said with a smile ”If you wish to hold hands with your husband and it makes you feel secure, I have no issue with that.”

Varsha could not believe her ears and looked toward Akash for confirmation again. Seeing her expression, Akash felt like pinching her cheeks.

He showed fake anger and said ”Wanting in the heart but showing confusion on the face. Don't try to act as such in front of me.”

Hearing his words Varsha could not help but lower her head shyly. Her husband is saying such words and she could not find anything to say. She really wants to hold his hand but has no courage to do so. She raised her head slowly and looked at him, her gaze full of hope.

Akash shook his head helplessly seeing her expression and then held her right hand with his right one and put it around his left arm. He then patted her right palm which is wrapped around his arm and said: ”Now, is it okay?”

Varsha felt so shy that she did not know how much she should lower her head to hide her face from him. She subconsciously tightened her hold on his arm.
