Changes.

Ch-57

Next day…

Rahul has some work so he sat in the living room as he did his work with his laptop. While… Laya decided to give a call to her brother and her friend Shakti.

She assured both of them that she was fine and wasn't feeling uncomfortable. They let her off only when she assured them that she would return if she doesn't feel any good.

Laya felt like she returned from hell when she ended the call. She looked at the time and saw it's past ten. She decided to pass the time. But she doesn't know-how. Going into the kitchen she took out some fruits and cut them for Rahul. She brought the plate and put it near him. Rahul smiled at her and took a piece from the plate and continued to munch on it while he worked. Laya was dead bored she wanted to do something but couldn't. Just then she saw his empty tablet and decided to watch a movie.

When she tried to open it, it asked for the password. She tugged Rahul's T-shirt like a child asking her dad for his phone to play games with a cute expression. Rahul pulled her closer and pecked her lips. He wrapped his arms around. Laya thought he would kiss her neck as her back was touching his chest but he did something unexpected. He caught the tablet and entered the password.

"It's your birthday, Love," he whispered in her ears before leaving her alone.

Laya was too shocked to react. She came to her senses when she saw that he was talking to someone. She whipped her head in a flash to his laptop screen, only to find everyone was teasing him. She blushed like a tomato and moved to the corner where she couldn't be seen in the camera. She went to their room and got the earphones. Plugging her earphones, she started watching the movie Anjali which is directed by Mani Ratnam in 1990. Even though there were many good movies currently she feels that olden movies are golden movies. And she has to say that she was is biased because she loves Mani Ratnam movies.

She skipped a few parts as she watched the movie. It's 12.30 when she finished watching the movie. She saw that Rahul was nowhere to be found. Panicking, she searched all around the house. But he was nowhere.

Picking her phone, she decided to call him but before she could call, Rahul came in with a cover.

"Where did you go? I am searching all over. And you didn't even bother to tell me where you went?! Huh?!" she fired up at him the moment he came.

"Relax, I ordered food for us. But the delivery guy couldn't come to our flat due to something. So, I just went down to get the food. I am sorry, That I didn't inform you," Rahul said as he kept the food on the table while taking steps towards her.

"Tell me from next time," she said.

"Okay," he said with a smile on his face. He could sense that she was worried about him. She is worried about him was enough for him to be happy.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked. She was so annoyed at him but he was laughing at her. How dare he?!

She badly wanted to wipe that smile from his face! Hmph!

"You are worried about me. That's enough to make me happy," he said as he closed the remaining whatever distance was there between them.

Laya was shocked at his words. She never wanted to show her feeling to him, But she did.

Ayyoo… can she hide from this man?

This man always embarrasses her. She pouted and was about to leave.

"Do you know that your pout turns me on?" he whispered in her ear after he pulled her. Laya crashed into his chest when he pulled her. When she tried to break free from his grip, he pinned her down on the couch and hovered over her, and trapped her in between her arms.

Before she could respond, he closed her mouth with his lips and gave her a toe-curling kiss. When he let her off, they both were panting. "You need to learn breathing exercises," he said. Indeed, she has to. Because she was already panting for a small kiss. How could she be so weak? She needs to develop her resistance and increase her resistance.

Laya looked shocked at his face. Rahul dragged her into another hot kiss making her squirm under him but he didn't care. He broke the kiss when they both were short of breath again. Giving her a last peck on her lips, he peeled himself from her.

God! He needs a cold shower.

"Let's eat," he said and went to the bathroom. He took a cold shower for fifteen minutes before coming out. He joins the table with Laya and eats his food.

—----------------

They both roam the country for a month before returning to Hyderabad. As he said, he bought a new house for himself and his wife. They both moved there.

Rahul's father wanted to live with Rahul and Laya but he knew the relationship between both Rahul and Laya was already awkward he doesn't want to make it awkward further. So, he stayed in Chennai as he looked after the branch along with Saranya.

While Maha Lakshmi who didn't believe that her husband would leave her started panicking. She started searching for him but found nowhere. She knew she was wrong by trying to make up an illicit affair between him and their daughter-in-law. She just hoped she would say sorry and makeup with him. But she was shocked by the divorce notice by him. She was asked to leave that place but she denied it. Then he sent another revised divorce notice with an added column which said she could keep the house for herself and it's her choice whether to choose or stay.

But despite all these, Laya and Rahul were getting close while, Laya and her family were being drifted away from her apart from Sitamma and Abhinav.
