The party reached "Tony"s" in 20 minutes . Within that drive time, they had all fought for songs which they wanted to sing and for food that they wanted to order . After giving the car for valet parking Vikram asked Mike and Teddy to go ahead and get a booth .
After they left it was only him and Akira standing under a tree . It was a bit breezy and Akira started rubbing her arms with her palm . "Here take my jacket", Vikram said and covered her with his jacket . "Thanks", Akira replied politely and started looking down . She knew that Mike would have told him about everything . Just like Mike even Vikram had told her a thousand times not to date him . In fact ever since she had started dating him, Vikram had stopped talking much with her . She knew he was gonna repeat, "I told you so . " She was ready to hear his scolding, but she was surprised when he asked - "Why are you wearing heels today?"
She had no answer . Vikram closed in and said - "If he didn"t value you for who you are then he is an idiot and I would hate it if you would change even one percent because of him . " Akira had no words . She couldn"t understand why he always said the right things which her heart always wanted to hear . Deep down in her heart, a part of her felt that Anthony left her because she wasn"t modern and upbeat like the blonde Becky . She didn"t know under which trance she ditched her shoes and picked up those heels . "Next time I see you in these ugly shoes, I am gonna make you walk barefoot", Vikram added and acted like he was angry .
She then looked back at his warm eyes and said, "I won"t" and held her pinky finger out . That was her way of promising things . Vikram held her pinky finger in his own and smiled at her . He then hugged her and gave a gentle pat on her head . This tiny creature stirred so many emotions in him which she had no idea . There was so much genuineness and affection in between them which did not need a name tag .
A few minutes later Vikram said, "let"s go else they will kill our songs . " "Umm . . . wait . I have spoiled your s.h.i.+rt . It must be super expensive right", said Akira and immediately took a wet wipe out of her bag and started cleaning Vikram"s s.h.i.+rt which she had soiled with her tears and lip balm . Vikram saw those tiny hands cleaning his s.h.i.+rt so seriously . At that moment he just wanted to kiss her .
"Jeez Akira, you have done much worse when you were a kid . I am just glad that you didn"t pee all over me . ", chuckled Vikram to lift her mood up .
"You!!!", Akira kicked Vikram hard and started darting ahead .
"Wait!", said Vikram and held her wrist . He coughed a bit and then he went up to her . She felt he was going to hug her again as his hands embraced her . But the next second before she could realize he had pulled out her hair band with one hand and opened her ponytail in one shot . With his other hand, he adjusted the strands of hair falling on her face and said - "You look so much pretty with your hair down" .
"I do?", asked Akira innocently .
"Yes you do", sighed Vikram and pulled her into Tony"s .
Meanwhile couple of meters away inside a car a figure was watching them like a mock spectator . His fists had balled up . Although he couldn"t see the faces clearly he could identify it was her . His gaze followed Akira till she went inside Tony"s . His insides were burning up but he didn"t know why . Instantly he pushed the gas and sped his car . His niece who was sitting next to him went in shock .
"Why are we leaving uncle? You had promised me that you would take me to Tony"s today" . She was almost in tears .
"Some other time Kate", he said .
Kate made an angry face and said - "I hate you Raymond Uncle" .
