Chapter 188 - New Father

It was already two hours since they had began their shopping. Elena just went inside the store and sat on the couch watching Lucas buy everything he set his eyes on.

After almost twenty minutes she stood up and went to the billing section. Her eyes widen at the amount of money he just spend buying stuff which would hardly fit their child.

"Do you have new set of cupboards" Lucas asked the manager of the store.

The man was about to talk when Elena interrupted their conversation," No need we would take our leave now" she politely answered and drag Lucas out from the store.

"Sunshine but our daughter will need a pink cupboard for her clothes" he said pointing at the store from where they walked out.

"You really need to stop Lucas. I am hungry" as soon she said those words he held her and walked to the food session.

He stop at the restaurant and entered the place. Known by everyone the owner mediately welcomed the couple and guided them to the private room. 

"Sunshine you should have stopped me earlier when your felt hungry" he pulled her close to him and look at the menu.

Ordering some healthy food Lucas then turn to see the bag were he had purchased some drawing book for their child.

"Here see she would color them when she would grow" he pulled out a book from one of the bags and passed it to Elena.

She couldn't help but get astonished by this new father who was thinking much ahead. The baby still had to grow up inside the womb but this father was already thinking about the how it will grow.

"I have already decided the color for her room and how large her bed would be. Even thought about what color her bed should have. Lets go with color pink and~" he stopped when he saw Elena smiling at him.

"Why are you smiling?" he asked placing his hand on the surface of the table and rested his head on his palm while he watched his beautiful wife smile at him.

"Lucas we don't even know the gender yet but still you brought all girly stuff. What if it's a boy" she was still in her first trimester and she could feel her stomach growing fast and even the amount of food she ate she still felt hungry as if she was eating for two more people.

Lucas pouted when he heard her words. He so wanted a baby girl but even Elena was right what if they have a boy. He gave it a thought and decided to talk to Daniel about it.

Back inside Cynthia's house Lingaa again went back to sleep after she made him drink the soup followed by medicine. She kept checking his temperature every now and then and she was relief to see his temperature drop.

After sleeping for an hour again, Lingaa was feeling fresh. He climb down the bed and went out from her room. He looked around her house only to find it small then his living room.

"You woke up" Cynthia's voice pulled back his attention to her and saw her making something on the stove.

"Your phone was ringing earlier I think it was important because it came back to back. You need to call back" she turn and again went to continue her work.

Lingaa put his hand in his pocket to search the phone but when he didn't find it he went inside the room and saw it on the bed near the pillow.

He opened the screen lock and saw ten miss call from his mother.

Cursing himself he made a call immediately and informed about him being in Cynthia's house. Julian didn't ask anything further and let him have his time with her.

Lingaa was about to leave the room when Cynthia came inside. Lingaa couldn't guess from the way she look at him whether she was here to ask him to leave or was just here to check on him.

"I have made some pasta would you like to have" her words made him sign and nodding his head like a fool he walked pass her.

Shaking her head Cynthia followed him. His had been acting really weird with her and she couldn't help keep sighing at his unusual behavior. 

Passing him the plate of pasta she went taking the chair for herself and watched him eat.

Lingaa started to eat the paste served by her and felt content like he was starving for so long and now have tasted the water.

She kept watching him eat when she spoke making him froze on his seat," Did you paid for my mothers surgery" her sudden question made him look at her with his eyes wide. 

'How did she knew' he clearly had warned Aksa to not let her know about them helping her and had clearly told the hospital not to mention about them to her at any cost.

He nod his head and looked down not meeting her eyes. He knew she would again throw him out because he again lied to her. The more time passed but he didn't hear her talk to him.

Lingaa looked up and saw her sobbing silently. It made his heart stab and let go of the plate he walked to her," Why are you crying" he couldn't bare to see her cry even a single drop of tear.

"Why are you helping me when I asked you to not show me your face" he pulled her close to his heart and let her cry.

"You know I'm trying to not fall for your kindness but I can't help Lingaa.. I can't" her last string of resolve broke when he nodded his head. 

Last night when she reached home she had got a call from Aksa and he told her everything. Her heart felt heavy when he learned about how guilty he felt from the very start and how it made him think to mend his mistake.

"It was not the guilt which made me look for you. But was my heart which was immensely attracted to you. I thought I would suppress my feeling by putting the name of guilt but as the days went by my heart couldn't be in my control and it wanted you so much"

Cynthia pulled back from his embrace and saw him crying along with her and that was the moment when her pride dropped melting her heart watching him cry for her.

"You don't look cute when you cry" she wiped his tears from his face and cupped his cheeks.

"I know I acted impulsively and did listen your explanation and just blamed you for my misery when I was at fault too. But now that we have cleared everything lets not think about our past... okay" 

Lingaa was feeling as if it was all a dream. He was waiting for her to beat him but instead she caress his face 'Was she going to slap him' he couldn't help but think after what have happened between them.

Cynthia frowned when she saw his looking at her like a fool and not answering her back and then she asked him again," Lingaa say something" her voice was enough to break his thought and pull him down from is dream world.

"Huh!! What did you say" he asked still trying to confirm her words.

"I said lets start fresh no more hiding, no more lies just a fresh start"

A wide smile formed on his lips and he squeal like a kid," Did I heard you right. Did you forgive me" he asked smiling like a fool still not believing her words.

"Yes... I have forgiven you" she smiled watching him acting all weird.

Lingaa shook his head and took her into a bone crushing hug, "I love you.. I love you so much"

"I love you too"

After the tired shopping Lucas and Elena were back home. Elena was hell exhausted and she didn't waited for Lucas and headed straight to their room.

Lucas followed her behind when his phone began to ring. Watching the name of the caller he immediately picked the call," Did you find who was it?"

"The the mail was send my some unknown id from a local cyber so we couldn't get hold on the person who send it. But we manage to get the place from where it was send" Ron was fast with his work and had every information with him.

"Where?" 

"Paris" as soon as Ron answered he knew that his enemy was now playing hard to get.

"Okay make sure to keep the guards alert. I don't want any harm now" 

Lucas was tired of playing this hide and seek game with his so called uncle and wanted to end this game once and for all. If he keep playing along with him there would be no chance for them to even face each other.

"I need to bring him back here"

Typing something on his phone he send a message and headed to his wife.

"I don't think he would be fooled this time" Landon was the one who had send Lucas the mail. Now that he was completely fine and he couldn't wait to kill his target. 

"He is just acting smart but make sure to keep yourself two steps ahead from his thought" Marcus had been firm enough now to kill every person and leave no trace of them to even remember.

"Start counting your days Lucas... Soon you will get the biggest shock of your life" Marcus smirked with a evil grin on his face.
