"I love you, Anna".Her cheeks became pink, she kept quiet then leaned in and kissed his hair. He lifted his head resting his chin on her nape. He looked so lovely and young with these actions.
His eyes sparkled as he said, "I wanna know everything, Anna. Everything you did, you achieved, your pa.s.sion, your struggles and the way our kids entered your life. You have no idea how much I regret letting you go years back.
I love you so much, Anna. I needed three years to realise our lost love. Don"t make me wait for too long, Anna. I don"t think I can handle that". Tears descended from Ria"s eyes. "This is man has excelled so much in sweet talking", Ria thought.
Ren closed the inches between them, his lips brushed her lips.
"Papa, Mama, Whath arre you doing?", Diya"s voice was heard. Ren"s head hung low and hit her nape, Ria laughed. Ren said while trying to smile, "Nothing, sweety. You go and continue with the game".
Diya shook her head and asked, "Papa? Where you thrying tho kiss mama"s mouth?" Ria covered her mouth and laughed shyly. Ren raised his eyebrows into an arch and he also smiled shyly. He didn"t know how to answer her so he hugged the little one and kissed her cheeks.
Diya squinted her eyes and said, "Bhoys shouldn"t khiss ghirls". Ren raised one of his eyebrows and asked her, "So daddy shouldn"t kiss you?" Diya shook her head again and said, "Diya ish a little ghirl, sho papa can khiss me! But Mama is bhig ghirl, you shouldn"t khiss her!"
Ren scratched his head and looked helplessly at Ria. She shrugged her shoulders and looked at the little one. Ren patted Diya"s head and said, "Daddy and Mommy are husband and wife. So we can kiss and do others things..." Ria smacked his head before he could finish.
He shouted in pain, "Ouch.." She gave him a glare and said to Diya, "Papa is allowed only to kiss you and me. Okay, sweetheart?" Diya nodded obediently. Ren protested, "I also said the same thing!" She raised one of her eyebrows at him. He winked at her.
Then Ren stood up holding the little one in one arm and Ria in other arm. Ria was holding the sleeping Varun. They left the conference room and went to his room. The kids were left in the couch.
Ria called her parents while sitting on the sofa with Ren and explained what happened. Ofcourse not the truth, something similar to what Ren told.
Ria holded the speaker in the hand and asked Ren, "When will we go to home?" Ren took the phone from Ria"s hand and spoke deligently, "Good evening Aunty Valerie, Me and Anna are planning to do a commercial like I said yesterday. We just finished audition, we have still more works to do.
It would be so stressful for her and kids to keep travelling all the time. So, I got an apartment close to my office, they will stay here for the time being. We will get married soon anyway, I will take good care of them, you don"t have to worry about anything". What Ren meant is, "I have no idea, about letting them out of my sight".
Valerie was on the other end, she somewhat got an idea of what he is saying. She smiled and said, "Okay, Ren. Tell her to visit home often. We miss her too". Ren replied in a completely rea.s.suring tone, "Ofcourse, Aunty. We will".
Valerie just laughed and hung up. Ria who was next to him saw that, this man has taken lots of decisions without asking her. Ren gave the phone back to Ria, he opened his thin lips to say something but Ria"s phone rang again.
Ria mouthed the words, "It is not over". Then she picked up the call, she said, "h.e.l.lo". A deep and cheerful voice was heard, "h.e.l.lo, Miss Ria. This is Aaron, from Shen Corporation". Ren"s eyes narrowed at her when he overheard a man"s voice on the phone.
Ria saw his reaction and replied, "Yes, CEO Shen. What happened?". Aaron on the other end chuckled and said, "Congratulations for being selected in the Milan Trend Awards. I saw your nomination two days ago. But I only got the chance to talk to you now.
I was busy with the Collections of gems you asked for and some other company works. The stocks will be delivered tomorrow at your company". Ria smiled a little and said, "Thanks CEO Shen for your co-operation and your wishes. Regarding the finance and transportation, you can directly contact the Vice president, Emma".
Aaron replied, "Okay. And.... If Miss Ria is free tonight, I can arrange for dinner. And you should definitely bring your kids". Ria said in polite tone, "I"m afraid it is not possible. I"m out of town, CEO Shen".
Aaron immediately said, "No problem, Which country are you in? I can fly to you!". Ria looked at the guy next to her whose expression is turning darker, every minute. Ria said, "It is not about when or where Mr.Shen. It is about who with whom. I"m with my kids and their father right now.
I"m on a vacation for two weeks. And I can never be available to have dinner with you other than official purposes". Aaron face lost life when he heard her. He then talked about the company stuff for few seconds and hung up.
He just saw her once, he was impressed by her so much that his heart took a sharp hit just now when he heard her. Even at this moment, he liked her honesty. She rejected him outright without giving a chance to react.
On the other side, Ren who was next to Ria heard almost everything as the room was quiet and he was next to her. He had a frown when he heard her mention him as their kids father, he was taken over by her rejecting that guy the next moment.
"CEO Shen uh? Need to find out who this guy is!", Ren thought. After she finished the call, she was browsing and looking at somethings necessary for her work. She was embraced by Ren immediately side ways. She looked at the warm bag on the corner of her eye.
Ren asked, "Want to go out for dinner?" Ria chuckled and said, "What are you? 5 year old kid. Trying to win a guy who you don"t even know". He didnt mind her words and asked, "Want to or not?" Ria leaned her head towards Ren"s head sideways. Then she said, "When I"m working, I don"t like to move often.
Get something delivered here. Whatever the place be, I"m going to be beside you only". Ren replied with a "hmmm" and then gave her a kiss on the cheeks. Ria smiled on the touch of his lips and asked, "Where is this apartment you said to Mom?".
Ren didn"t say anything and looked at the door of the lounge. "Ofcourse, it is an apartment and very close to his office", Ria thought.
