Chapter 298 - But then it seemed like Akash knew what he was doing!

Bhagya!

She was an absolute joy to be around. In just a couple of hours they had spent together, she had given her more warmth than she ever had all her life. She was everything she hoped her mother was.

Anand and Bhagya- they were everything she ever wanted from her parents…

The fact that she can have that kind of warmth for herself all her life did something extraordinary to her heart… but at the same time, it also scared her out of her wits.

All her insecurities plagued her with questions- one after the other.

What if Akash suddenly decided he did not love her anymore? Will his mother also blame her… will she also abandon her? After all, all this warmth is because she was with Akash now! So, what happens when they both fight? Will Bhagya be angry with her? 

It was hard to get her head out of it.

So, all her emotional dilemmas came crashing down as soon as she was left alone with Akash and she poured all of them to him. She would rather he break her heart now than a few months later when she had gotten used to not only having Akash but also someone like Bhagya and Anand in her life.

So, she looked at Akash with expectant eyes…

She did not even know what she was expecting. She was hoping he wouldn't break her but at the same time, she was also preparing her heart for him to break her like a porcelain vase…

Akash did not reply. He got up from his place and let Madhu stand on her two feet steading her. He then quietly took her hands and dragged her out.

"Where are you taking me?" Madhu asked confused as he traveled through several corridors before coming to a standstill at the backyard garden. Bhagya was there walking with Anand happily giggling away.

Madhu frowned confused. She tried so hard to wipe away all her tears… but her blotched eyes were a dead giveaway. So, Madhu did not dare to tilt her head up.

But as soon as Bhagya and Anand heard other people come in and saw Akash and Madhu, their eyes frowned in confusion.

But Bhagya's eyes were sharp. She could see there was something wrong with Madhu right away… not that she had been very forthcoming and bubbly all day long… but she did not hide like this. She frowned and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Madhu and asked, "Madhu, what is it?"

Akash did not answer. He just kept dumb and let his mom approach them… he knew Bhagya well enough to know she was probably the only one who could pull Madhu out of her insecurities. But he never thought his decision would end up having his ears getting twisted by his mum.

"Hisss…. Mum… mum… let go, it hurts!!" Aakash exclaimed giving Bhagya a bewildered look. But he was met with blazing ones from Bhagya.

"What did you do? Why is she crying suddenly? She was fine when we parted!!" Bhagya hissed. She knew Akash wasn't the kind to do anything harmful… but again she also knew he was an idiot every now and then.

All Madhu could do was stare at Bhagya with an open mouth shocked. One minute went… and then another went as she looked at the scene in front of her completely frozen as she saw Bhagya almost pull Akash's ears out of the seems of his face before she actually came back to her senses and shook her head frantically…

"No-no-no aunty. It was not Akash's fault. He did not do anything!!" Her voice was frantic and panicked at she met with Bhagya's eyes.

"You do not have to defend him… we know he can be an idiot every now and then. We will take care of it…" Anand said following the fun.

Madhu looked around at Anand helplessly as she tried to explain, "NO, sir. It really was not… I was just… I was just emotional after coming here and meeting you guys… that is all!!"

Bhagya looked at Madhu intently before letting go of Akash. Then she looked at both of them… Akash had a sheepish smile on his face even when she had held him by his ears… she knew he was scheming something… he almost seemed happy to be scolded just now.

"You want to tell me what is happening here?" Bhagya asked at Akash.

He just leaned over and pecked at his mom's cheeks and said grinning, "Nothing mom. You did great. I will drop Madhu off now…"

He dragged out Madhu before Bhagya or Anand could say anything. He did not even give Madhu the chance to bid them goodbye as he dragged her out to his car.

"Did you get what just happened?" Bhagya asked Anand once Akash exited the garden.

Anand obviously shook his head as he answered, "Nope… but then it seemed like Akash knew what he was doing!! For once…"

"About time he did, I would say…" Bhagya said rolling her eyes.

Akash was what you would call a laid-back person. He neither had much ambition nor was he too much a wild spirit to mess up completely. SO, he had it smooth sailing so far. He would just do anything and everything Shreya or Adithya asked of him blindly… so, he never really had a sense of responsibility towards anything. Though he would very diligently complete everything given to him… he just never really a person who knew what he wanted for himself.

"He said he wanted to marry her!!" Anand announced.

Bhagya's eyes widened surprised but then she grinned.

"Wow!!"

"What? That is all you are going to say in the subject?" Anand asked his wife frowning.

"What else can I say?" Bhagya asked.

"You know they had just been going out for a few months right? And he is already thinking about marriage? Aren't you afraid he is being blinded with infatuation or something?" Anand asked walking back into the garden holding Bhagya's hands.

"Maybe it is… or maybe it isn't. Anyways, he is an a.d.u.l.t now and she is a lovely girl. As long as it is something that both of them want to do… I am not planning on creating a headache for myself by sticking my nose on something where it doesn't belong. And I saw the way he looked at her… he is a goner!!" Bhagya replied gleefully beaming.

Anand just smiled looking at her helplessly.

Srivastav's men and women are stuck up like that when it came to love!! Goner's!
