Janani woke up to the rhythm of a steady heartbeat and the warmth of a strong pair of arms
around her.
She slowly opened her eyes and was met with the peaceful sight of Armaan sleeping with
her in his arms.
She slowly raised her hands and touched his cheeks gently before pressing a feather light
kiss on his cheeks.
A smile formed on her face and she blushed remembering what happened before falling
asleep in his arms.
She had been kissed before by Vikram and it had never felt like what it felt like yesterday.
Whenever Vikram kissed her she could remember her thoughts drifting off to various
happenings in her life unlike last night where all she was aware of was of his warm lips being
on her.
She believed she was not a passionate person when it comes to physical intimacy and had
always wondered how it would be to be passionately attracted to someone when Saanvi
used to tell her aboutSaanvi!!!
The reminder was like pouring cold water on her feelings.
Along with it the panic set it.
How could she let it happen?? How could she let it happen before telling him the truth?
She gently extricated herself from his arms without waking him and made a bee line for her
room making sure the coast is clear.
She just can't have anyone seeing her exiting Armaan's room in the early hours of the dawn.
Once inside the room she started pacing to and fro cursing herself for being so stupid.
To calm her mind she decided it's best to go to the nearby mandir and have a heart to heart
talk with Lord Shiva.
Once she checked the kids and saw that they are already awake, she thought it would be
nice to take them to the mandir with her.
Armaan woke up to an empty room and sighed.
Did he really expect to wake up with her in his arms??
Maybe he did!!
A man can always dream, he chuckled at the irony of the situation.
All his life he had runaway from commitment and had never let a woman stay over.
He had never let a woman in his home. It had always been him going to their place which
makes it easier to leave at night rather than trying and getting them out of his place.
And the one woman he wanted to spend the night cuddled up with couldn't get away fast
enough.
Did that Vikram guy hurt her to such an extent??
He is by now convinced that whatever aberrations that happened in his Janani's life for the
past two years to make her act so out of her character is the after effect of her heartbreak.
And he would help her heal.
He would give her so much love that she would forget Vikram even existed in her life.
Armaan freshened up and got ready for his office. There is no point in taking an off today as
Janani would be joining school.
He came down to an empty kitchen and frowned when he found none.
Where is Janani?? Is she still sleeping?? He looked around only to find Khanna coming into
the kitchen and pouring a cup of coffee from the kettle for him.
