Akshara's POV

We settled in the car.. and moved towards the best indian cuisine restaurant... INDIAN ACCENT , lodhi road..of khan market...
The subtle music was on.. and the silence was comfortable for both of us.. . I wanted to ask him something but then controlled myself.. and thought to ask while having dinner.. and suddenly.. a hoarse voice came.. which was of none other that our
Mr. Singh🙄😂

" What do you wanna ask.. ?please feel free for it.. don't wait for us to reach and the dinner to arrive... I would like if you won't hesitate to ask any of doubts or questions..." , He said this in a very calm tone...

I was surprised to see how he figured out that I was in this dilemma... Is my expression or my face that readable... 😶😶😶

" Umm.. actually.. you now know that I am a doctor.. but.. I don't know about yours.. sorry but.. I didn't even ask mumma about this... 😕😕Soo..."

A smile threatened on his lips but he managed to keep his stoic face... I haven't even seen him smiling since the time I saw him...

" Do you know about The royals and co. ? "

" No.. why.."

" You seriously don't know... I thought you would have heard about it while dealing with patients..." , He said in shock..

" I am a doctor.. I work 24×7 for the full year.. I know about my patients... Their problems.. their happiness.. and that is my world.. if you ask me about them , then you will get to know more than what you know... Coz that is my field... And I don't have time to look in the outer world and know about it for my entertainment.. and disturb their happiness which they will get after proper treatment... " , I replied in a monotonous tone.

He had the sudden realisation... And nodded and then the drive was silent..

Aryan's POV

I liked her personality a lot but maintained my calm and stoic face.. I didn't even smile infront at her even after knowing that she is my date.. coz that's how we have to be.. since the things are not fixed I cannot be the sweet , romantic guy for every single date...

When she replied... I realised that she is a bit different... what she cares is just her patients good recovery... And has no interest in knowing what happening in surrounding.. and the way she said.. I can guess that she is least interested in showing those fake shyness and innocence to seek attention..

So I chose to keep quiet and just nodded.. and drove towards the restaurant.. within 10 min we reached and we moved towards the private area of the restaurant... The manager knew me but seems that they knew her even... coz she asked some personal question to one the staff member who greeted is while entering..

" Arrey.. aap.. kaise ho aap.. aapki beti kaisi h.. uski tabiyat thik h... ? "

(Hey.. you.. how are you.. how's your daughter.. is her health good ? )

" Hum thik h madam... Aur aapki wjh se hi to aaj hamari beti zinda h.. humne to jb use hospital laya tha uss halat me.. hume to laga hum sb haar gye.. par aapne use naya jeevan hi de diya.. hum aapke bahaut aabhari h "

( I am ok madam.. and because of you my daughter in alive today.. that day when I brought her to hospital in that serious situation.. I lost all hopes.. but you gave her a new life... I will be highly obliged to you )

"Arrey kaka.. isme aabhar kaisa vyakt krna.. ye to hamara kaam h.. use humse phir milaane layega zaroor... Abhi hum chalte h.."

( Arrey uncle.. what's to oblige.. that was my duty.. visit with her at my place once again... I take your leave now..)

" Zaroor zaroor.. hum use lekr aayenge.."

( Sure sure.. I will visit )

We then leave towards the open terrace.. which is always reserved for me and my personnel..

She has a bit shocked reaction which she calmed immediately...
We sat..and ordered our cocktails.

Then I broke silence between us.. and said..
" I am a businessman.. The founder and CEO of the royal and co. we work with the high rank officers of our country and find out people associated with illegal business of narcotics , gun and the mafia world... But people know us as the royal ethnic trends clothing industry.. and therefore my work demands me to have cold , stoic Attitude so as no one intrude into my space and expose the hidden motive of us.."

" I am a businessman..

But people know us as the royal ethnic trends clothing industry..  therefore my work demands me to have cold , stoic Attitude so as no one intrude into my space and expose the hidden motive of us..", he said while drinking his cocktail..

I understood the reason he has been behaving this strange... Then I asked..
" This information is to kept as secret.. right... Then why did you share with me.. don't you think , I might leak out this information..." And chuckled at it...

" I already knew about you.. my men gave me all information about you.. and when you said that you didn't ask your mom about my work or anything... I believe you are very well in your world that you actually don't care for anything than your patients and mother's happiness.." , he said making an intense eye contact with me...

And it broke when a Butler came up with our food...

" Thankyou.. for believing in me but you just know what other people have seen and told about me... Still there are somethings which you don't know about me... And since it's the time where tell each other about ourself.. so I would like you to know few things...", I calmly and politely replied... To which he said...

" Yeah of course, I would like to hear them out.."

" Since my childhood I have seen problems in relationship.... As I got the job. I took out my mother from that dungeon.. and being the only child.. I have always tried to fulfill the duty of both son and daughter... And also I am a doctor.. so this combination and my childhood traumas and experience have made me rough , frank and bold person.. I don't fear to stand up for what is right.. and care the less of what people think of me.." "I don't believe in love because I have always seen sacrifices.. tears.. and graveyard of all happiness and dreams of my mom while my father was busy enjoying his own not even caring for us... And therefore I don't want to get married.. but just for my mom I gave this date a chance.. " , I completed with a heavy voice but controlled my tears...not to show him my vulnerable side...

And he looked at me with a composed look..

Aryan's POV

I looked at her.. the sight was so intense... I know being a girl whose job is to work in uncertainty day and night is tough in our society.. but what she told me about her past and her thoughts , compelled me think how mature and sorted she is.. a true fighter who not only came out of her problems but also her mother... I felt like having a soft corner for her...

" I too have gone through hardships in life and just like you love your mother.. I too love my family.. our thoughts are very same.. I too came just for my parents.. And I would like to very honest with you... Regarding my feelings... I don't beat around the bush.."

" I really liked your personality... And would love to know you more... If you are okay and a bit satisfied with me and my work.. I would like to meet you a few more time and give this bond a chance and will give my cent percent to make this relationship work..." " I know you must be thinking how come I take this decision in just one meet... But it's true.. I like my partner to be understanding , caring , loving for me , my family and confident enough to stand against all odds without fearing anyone... Just like a true fighter and that you are..."

She looked at me like she was dreaming..

Akshara's POV

What he said , wasn't something that I was expecting.. but the tables turned and I was in full shock and felt like I was dreaming that someone for the once understood me for who and what I am and why I am so for the first time... except for my mother and my best friend..

" I would also like to meet you few more time... The way you understood me within a short span of time.. is something which I never expected.. and honestly speaking I never thought of love and marriage.. but being a girl , I always thought of having an understanding partner who cares for me and mom.. who loves me and not judge me...  But never shared this to anyone coz I used to feel there is no one who can be this good and understanding... But you broke that wall of mine... I would definitely like to spend my whole life with you and grow old together..." , I said with a big smile on my lips and tears glistening my eyes but not pouring out...

He smiled and said.. " surely.. we will.. now let's dig into the food.. coz I know you love food and can't stay hungry for long until it's emergency.."

I see him chuckling and said , " how come you know this..?"

" I have my own ways love.." , he said smiling sheepishly.....
And I too chuckled and dug onto my food... Then we chatted , splitted the bill which I forced for and then he drove me to my home.. and left...
