Chapter 286 - Scaredy cat!

Home.

It was an absolutely foreign concept for Madhu. She never had it… a place where she can be herself… a place of comfort when she was down. A place to give her courage when she was weak. 

And when she asked Akash to marry her, she was actually betting on Akash to give her all these… even though she trusted Akash, she was still scared in parts of her heart. 

After all, Akash and she hadn't been together for that long…

SO, she remained dazed for a long while still sitting on Akash's laps as her mind took her to the brink of insanity.

Akash just stared at her without really bothering to disturb the tranquility of the moment. He could see her mind reeling but he let her be. He just let her snuggled into him and kept caressing around every now and then. Thankfully no more calls came from the office…

So, he just stayed there with her without moving a muscle until Madhu let out a big ass yawn with drooping eyes.

"Come on, now. Let's get you to bed… you seem tired."

But Madhu resolutely shook her head and nuzzled closer to him.

Akash could only chuckle and shake his head at her stubbornness.

"What's going on in this pretty little head of yours?" Akash asked rubbing the back of her head as he saw her going back to being dazed all over again. Madhu did not answer for a long time. Just when Akash thought she was going to ignore him completely, she opened her mouth to talk.

"Uhm… Your parents won't mind, right? They… they won't think I am… I am pitting you or something right?" Madhu asked in a mosquito voice.

"Is that what you were so seriously thinking about all this while?" Akash asked dubiously once he came out of her stupor at her question.

If he had known this is what she was thinking about, he would have asked her questions a long time before.

Madhu nodded her head and answered, "I mean… when I asked, it was an impulse… I did not think things through… but when I calmed down. I got scared. I mean, I do not want to rush into things and pit a hole for myself. After all, I haven't even met your mother yet and if she knows I proposed to you, I can only imagine what she is going to think of me… especially given our backgrounds!!" There was anxiety in her voice when she explained herself.

After all, in every drama and book she ever read, the relationship between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law seemed to always suck more times than it works.

Akash just glared at her for a while… he bit on her ears quite harshly venting his anger for letting her mind run so wild.

"Ouch… Akash?" Madhu exclaimed in pain and tipped her chin to look up at him.

"Do we look like such superficial people to you?" He asked sarcastically pouting away seeing her rub over her ears in pain.

Madhu's eyes widened instantaneously as she frantically shook her head and explained once again, "No-No-No… of course not. I know how Shreya and your dad is… I am just nervous, that is all!!"

Akash smirked but did not let her get away with it that easily as he stated, "So, you think my mother is superficial then… without even meeting!!"

"What the hell, Akash. When did I say that?" Madhu asked in shock.

"Just now… don't try to fool me. Anyways… I am going to rat you out to my mom, then see how she deals with you!!" Akash said childishly teasing her. An amused smile spread on his face seeing her face go absolutely pale in seconds.

Before she could open her mouth to say anything, Akash playfully swatted on her forehead before chucking and saying, "I was just pulling your legs, idiot!"

"You absolutely no need to worry about my mother. She is a carbon copy of Shreya, just slightly older. Both love cute little innocent girls like you… they will behave as if they are some knight in shining armor or something when they see one!!" Akash said rolling his eyes.

God knows how many of his ex-girlfriends are still in touch with his mother… And his mother will also happily join in the fun and end up cussing him without regret most of the time.

If the work had not been so absolutely frantic, he would have long since took Madhu home. And of course, there is also the part where Shreya went absolutely paranoid and flooded their whole family mansion with so many bodyguards that it almost looks like a festive fair or something back at home.

"Now, come on. Let's get you to bed…" Akash said once again.

Madhu childishly pouted and turned her head away from him.

"What happened?" Akash asked confused.

"I am not going to talk to you… you keep teasing me like a kid!!!" Madhu complained showing an aggrieved face. Her pouting lips trembled slightly.

Looking at her childish temper and puffed up cheeks, Akash did not know whether to cry or laugh. He tightened his arms around her waists and practically plastered her against him while burying her face at the crooks of his neck and mumbled, "You are going to be the death of me, baby."

After all, she actually proposed to him… on top of it, she looked adorable in his clothes that were ridiculously huge on her… and they are supposed to spend the night all alone here in his home. It was really hard to get his head out of the gutter.

Madhu did not really help as she struggled to get out of his grip until Akash gritted his teeth and said in a threatening voice, "You keep moving around like this, I will let you know how an a.d.u.l.t would tease!!"

Madhu of course froze in place instantly. She did not dare to even breathe.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_52089954561485534">#!_52089954561485534</a> for visiting.

"Scaredy cat!!" Akash teased and let her go…

Before Madhu could even know what was happening, Akash had already safely tucked her in his bed and was about to switch off the lights.

"We will be okay right?" Madhu asked nervously holding on to his hands no letting him go. Her confidence can last only for so long before all the questions flood her head with negativity.

"We will be okay. I promise. Now get some sleep… I will be in the next door up… in my study. If you need anything." Akash said and went up to do some work…
