Meera's POV

He loves me. Abhi told me that he loves me yesterday. I know that I feel strongly for him but I'm not sure if that's love. Despite all this it felt nice to know that there is someone who loves you. I get ready and head downstairs. Sarla aunty is placing breakfast on the dining table. 

Abhi is sitting on the dining table talking to someone furiously on the phone. His jacket is on the sofa and the sleeves of this shirt are rolled up making him look ten times hotter. He runs his hands through his hair clearly frustrated. I'm about to make my way towards Abhi when my phone starts to ring. Its Karan, I answer the phone,

"Hello"

"Meera, I need a huge favor"

"What did you do now"

"Why would you assume that I did anything. Anyways the point is that Dr.Mehra was supposed to head the the team of interns but she has an personal emergency so she's taking the week off and since they are coming in in Wednesday can you fill in for her, I wouldn't have asked you if there was anyone else available "

"Fine, I'll do. How many people are going to be there exactly?"

"Just five and thank you"

"Cool, no problem , bye"

"OK byee", he says and hangs up. 

I feel someone tug my dress. I look down to find Reyansh pulling my dress. I lift him up kiss him all over the face. He giggles and places his hand on my cheek and starts talking something incoherent. I look at Abhi who's looking tired and pissed. 

I adjust Reyansh in my arms and go and sit beside Abhi. He looks at me and smiles slightly but I can see that he is stressed about something. 

"What happened why are yo-", I trail of as my gaze land on the front page of the newspaper. Its a picture of us leaving the hotel yesterday. Only Abhi's face is seen clearly, Reyansh is barely seen and only a portion of my back is seen as my face was pressed into Abhi's chest.

I read the article looking for the mention of names but there were none. I look over to Abhi who still looks a angry. He turns the TV on and puts on a news channel. Its a video of us leaving the restaurant followed by,

"Breaking News:  Abhimanyu Malhotra was spotted yesterday outside The Taj with his son and a girl. Yes who heard it right. Insider sources tell us that he got married secretly earlier this year but we still don't know who this mystery girl is. Intel tells us that he was here for dinner with his entire family. Nikhil Khurana too was spotted leaving this place minutes after -"

Abhi turns the television of. " I have people working to take all this down, it should be gone within a few hours", Abhi grits out.

"Abhi , look at me", I cup his face and turn it towards me. He relaxes slightly under my touch. "Don't stress yourself s much over all this. Its harmless gossip, people will forget about it in a few days. Just ignore it , they are trying to get a reaction out of you don't pay attention to all of this."

He places his hand over fine and strokes it with his thumb. "I don't know what I would have done without you , i love you"

"I know right, I'm the best", I say dramatically flipping my hair which lands back on Reyansh who is still sitting in my lap. He lets out a giggle as my hair tickle his face. Abhi kisses the side of my head but still looks a little troubled and all I want to do is ease all his worries.

Abhimanyu's POV

I was absolutely furious at all the media attention Reyansh and Meera were getting. Surprisingly Meera took it so well. She wasn't like any other girl I had ever met and I honestly loved her so much. Love, it feels like a small word compared to what I feel. I told her that I love her yesterday. She dint say it back but at least she dint freak out and runaway. 

"Reyansh see your dada is getting worried for no reason tell him not to take so much stress, all those early white hair won't suit him ", I'm caught in a daze as I see Meera talk to Reyansh. I'm absolutely mesmerized by her and how effortlessly beautiful she looks all the time. 

I don't know how much time passes by but I feel something cold on my face. Water, someone threw water on me. I blink away the drops from my eyes and notice Sarla aunty taking Reyansh upstairs. Meera is standing beside with a glass of water looking amused and waiting for my expression. 

"Abhi", she snaps her fingers in front of me. I look at her and smirk.

"You shouldn't have done this ", I get up and fill another glass of water. Her eyes widen and she starts running away. I chase her . She's on one side of the dining table while I'm on the other.

"Abhi, I just changed , please, sorry na", she says while running up the stairs. Sarla aunty is standing with Reyansh outside his room, She goes and stands behind her.

" aunty tell Abhi to stop this"

"You are the one who started this, you threw wa-", my phone  starts to ring cutting me off. Its my secretary. She reminds me of the meeting I have in half n hour. I cut the call and looked around to find Meera missing . I go our room and she is standing in front of the dressing table combing her hair. I go and hug her from behind and place my chin on her shoulder.

"Thought you could get away from me"

"You should change your shirt, its wet", she says changing the topic.

"Since you were the one who threw water on me, you change it"

"Abhi, you are not a one year old child "

"Because of you I'm late for a meeting, help me at least"

"Fine", she goes to the wardrobe and gets another shirt. I unbutton the one I'm wearing and shrug it of. She comes out with a fresh shirt and holds it out for me. I slip my hands through it and turn around. I pull hold her waist and full her close. She slowly starts buttoning the shirt, her fingers grazing my chest occasionally. Every touch sends a rush of heat through my body and within moments I'm hard. I guess I dug my own grave. 

I finish getting ready and head downstairs. Reyansh is holding Meera's hand and trying to walk properly. He looks immensely pleased with himself as he takes a few steps forward. Meera's focus is completely on Reyansh. She kneels down holding him him steady. Rey puts his hands on her shoulders balancing himself. I go and kneel down a few feet away from her.

"Reyansh ,come here", I call him out. He turns around and looks at me and then looks back at Meera.

"Go Rey", she encourages him but instead of coming towards me , he puts his hands around Meera's neck and buries his face in her shoulder. I walk over to them and kneel down beside Reyansh. 

"Reyansh ,are you angry with me", I ask him. I know he cant understand me but he never ignores me. I kiss the side of his head to get his attention. He looks at me with his big brown eyes and I remember the day he was born and how he looked up at me with big eyes. Nothing else mattered after that moment, I knew that I'll love and protect him for ever. 

Since I'm getting late , I kiss Meera's cheek but as I do so, Rey cries out in protest. 

"You know, I think he doesn't like it when I kiss you"

"He's a child, he doesn't know anything", Meera denies it.

"You don't believe me see, look at this", I kiss her on the other cheek and Rey cries out again trying to cover her face with his little hands. Meera looks amused.

"See that, he's so possessive about you", I say.

"Hmm, I wonder from where he gets that from", she says sarcastically.

"I can't help it babe, I don't like sharing what's mine and as much as I don't want to, I really have to go", I say kissing her one last time which results in Reyansh crying. She pushes me away and chuckles lightly, trying to calm Rey down. I almost out of the door when I turn around to glace at them one more time
