Chapter 191 - Flashback (1/2)

| Innaya |

When I woke up, I felt my head heavy. Looking around, I tried to recall how I ended up on the bed. Just a couple of moments... it took me just a couple of moments, and everything flashed before my eyes like a movie.

'Hug me, please.'

I closed my eyes, clenching my fist.

Having him so close, after so long, felt so good. I wish we could just stay like that, forever, with him in my arms, and I, in his.

For a day, just for a day, I wanted to forget everything that was holding me back from reaching out to Eshan and let him know how awfully and desperately I had missed him.

I could not help the sudden wave of guilt that hit me hard.

I had pushed him away from me, and I was getting upset when he was being distant.

My mind traveled back to the time where we were just so content and peaceful together. That time, the hint of what was coming was far away.

Gosh. I loved Eshan. I loved him so much. I could not believe my eyes when I gazed at the beautiful purple gazebo at the beach. The evening moonlight made it look absolutely ethereal. He was with me all the time. I did not even know when and how he planned it out and executed it that well.

I was in awe of the entire mood.

I turned to him as I gripped his wrist in excitement. ”This is so pretty. When did you do this?”

”Magic.” Eshan winked at me and I laughed.

I left his hand and walked further, exploring the surrounding. I would not lie; I was as excited as a kid. I did not know why though.

Do you have those some days where you are just happy for no apparent reasons? When you forget all your worries, all your problems and just feel merry at heart? I was having that day and Eshan's surprise dinner date just added on to my bright mood.

I rushed back to hug him. ”Thank you so much,” I whispered, smiling against his skin.

”I love you, Tesoro,” he mumbled and I loved it even more. He had confessed his love to me earlier as well but... but I was admiring everything like I never did that day.

He walked me to the table. Being in his arms made me feel special, like a princess. He was my prince charming, indeed. He was my prince and he treated me like his precious princess.

I could not resist leaving a small peck on his cheek before we sat down. Again, he had arranged my favorite food which I was no longer surprised about. That was just Eshan. He was awesome, a little too perfect for this awfully imperfect me.

After we had our dinner, he went on to his knees and held his hand out. I readily stood up and gave my hand in his. He smiled, standing up.

He sn.a.k.e.d his hands around my waist from back, pulling me swiftly towards him. I gasped with his sudden pull and our proximity. Regardless of how long we spent with each other, it seemed like I was always going to be left a bit taken aback with our closeness. That was just the kind of effect he had on me.

”Eshan,” calling his name, my lips curled in a beautiful smile. He might not be a very romantic person to say cheesy lines to me every day like most of the men would do for their better halves, but he surely knew how to show his love to his love, his wife... his Innaya.

Sweet laughter escaped from my lips as his fingers brushed across my waist. ”Stop it, Eshan.” Pushing his hands off me, I stepped away from him. Turning towards him, I darted a fake glare at him, making my fake anger and annoyance pretty much visible to him.

But the next minute, my non-existent anger vanished off like water in a desert when I witnessed the cutest sight I could ever see... he mumbling a sorry, holding his both ears with his hands. I just lost my heart to him, again, the moment I stared in his eyes. Looking at him, I got lost into my own world. My eyes locked with his. Standing there, I could not look away. As I folded my arms to my chest, I sat back in the chair, admiring my unrealistically good looking husband.
