Pari's phone started ringing and she excused to pick it up. It was her father's call.

"Happy Birthday Pari beta. We are missing you. " His words alone brought tears to her eyes.

"Thank you Papa. I miss you both too" Pari held back her tears and replied .

"How's my daughter doing? Celebrating your birthday well? " Ajay asked her.

"Yeah Papa. This is the best birthday in my life but I wish you both were with me too.. "

Back in India, the only time Pari couldn't celebrate her birthday with her family was when she was in IIMS, other than that it's always been with her parents. Her mother would drag her to the temple and perform all kinds of rituals to bribe god to bless her daughter. They would go on a family outing and buy whatever Pari wanted. Later in the evening, her mother would literally prepare a feast with all her favourite dishes.

Pari missed them a lot on her special day, but recently because of the arguments she couldn't even talk to them normally. Every phone call would end

    It was finally the day of departure for Pari. So she asked George to drop her off at the airport as she didn't want an anxious Ian around her when she boarded."Call me at least 10 times per day" Ian began his lecture session before her departure. "Ian, 10 times is ridiculous. We'll have our own things to do. I'll call you three times a day. One video call when I get a chance. Incase of any emergency, we can always communicate through messages''"Just 3, make it 5 please" Ian was literally begging her. "4 at the max. No more discussions""OK. Fine. But you need to stay safe. Don't fall sick, don't get hurt and no crying because of anything ""Ian… I'm going home, not to some warfield. Calm down. I'll be fine. Just promise me that you'll take care of yourself. Don't be lazy at work. Don't drink too much. Don't be harsh on yourself. Is that clear?""Yes mam. As long as you're fine, I'll be fine ""George must be downstairs. I need to leave in time to catch my flight" She hugged him.

    Pari was in LCY airport after a 12 hour journey and George picked her up and dropped her to Ian's place. Ian was happy to see his Pari and hugged the life out of her once he met her at his door. He could feel his sanity back in his mind when he held her in his arms. "Thank God you're here, I was about to lose my shit" He murmured while planting a chaste kiss on her forehead. "Thank God I'm here, I was about to lose myself " were her words. He was baffled with her words but decided not to probe since she could be having jet lag. "It's already lunch time baby, what do you want to have? I'll cook for you" He soon went back to his excited puppy mode trying to cheer her up. "I had my food on my way Ian. I badly need some sleep, can I sleep for a while please " "Come.. " He took her to his room and asked her to rest. But when she insisted him to stay he happily cuddled her to sleep.

    Waking up next to Ian wasn't a new thing for Pari, but today it felt different. She was next to her man, a man who claims to be hers in every sense. Her insecurities found complete assurance in his embrace, her emptiness was long gone with his presence. 'Maybe this is how it feels like to be loved', she thought. After detaching herself from his firm grip, she went to freshen up. The stupid smile he gave her on the previous night along with the toe curling love bites were still on her. She felt loved, special and beautiful again. After enjoying her sweet time in shower, she prepared their brunch. She had managed to finish waffles and started working on aloo parathas when she felt him snacking his arms around her waist and pressing his chin on her shoulder. "What's my girl doing early this morning? " His husky morning voice was her real time weakness. "It's not morning anymore Ian.. It's actually noon, look at the time.

    Since Ian stayed once in a while at her place, some of his clothes were already in her wardrobe, so it was easy for him to get ready quickly. He picked his white tee shirt and wore jeans and black blazers. Definitely that wasn't a coincidental matching, it was an intentional move by the lover boy. "Ian... ""Yes mam""Do I really look ok? Should I change into something else? And the hair? Shall I just put it in a ponytail or maybe a bun? " Pari was still trying to make things perfect. Her perfect assistant brain didn't want to miss out any tiny details. After being with Ian for a long time, she has developed a natural instinct to search for better options till she gets the best solution for the problem. "You just look perfect, there's no need to change anything about you" He caressed her hair and kissed her forehead. Ian decided to drive Pari's Audi, as she was yet to get her licence. True to her words, Pari paid some part of the instalment to him and he called her impossibly inde

    They finally reached his mom's place and Pari was dumbstruck after taking a look at the mansion. If Ian's bungalow was sleek and modern, this one had a touch of traditional approach. A traditional detached building with a lush green backdrop, it was indeed a warm and cosy place. One of the maids opened the door for them and smiled at them. Ian held Pari's hand and walked in. "Mom, we're here. " He announced as they reached the living room and his mother walked out of the kitchen to meet them. "Welcome home Ian. So the someone special you mentioned during the call would be the gorgeous lady next to you I assume?" Anna spoke with a sweet tone as she looked at Pari. "Pari, meet my lovely mom, Anna Evans and Mom, meet your soon to be daughter in law Pari Deshmukh" He spoke with a calm tone, actually making Pari's world upside down. 'Who on earth directly introduces his girlfriend as his mom's soon to be daughter in law? Of course only odd species like Ian Evans does' She was mentally

So he decided to pick her up and tuck her in bed. She looked so peaceful in her sleep that he didn't want to disturb. But she woke up before they could reach his room "Mine or yours? " She asked while yawning. "Ours " and she snuggled closer to him and he placed her on bed. He removed her heels and wiped her face and let her sleep since changing her clothes would definitely wake her up. He changed to his comfy clothes and joined her in bed. Though he was tired, he didn't mind staring at her for some more time. She would stir up in her sleep when she missed his warmth and practically hug the life out of him.

    Pari was busy stuffing her face with junk food in her apartment in the evening as she binge watched a show. It was already Thursday and they had to attend a party on Friday night. So she called Ian to discuss the plans for tomorrow. "Ian, Will you pick me up after I get ready at my apartment or shall I get my things and come to your place and get ready? " She asked him while wiping her hands clean."I'll pick you up so you can have a good amount of time to get ready" Ian answered. "Oh please.. You should feel lucky because I hardly take much time to get ready. Anyways, help me with the gown. I'm stuck between blue and baby pink. Both are gorgeous." Pari sighed. "I'm sure both look good on you. But I've always admired you in blue. You look like an angel in blue" Ian replied. "Cool, blue it is then. Anyways, do you have any idea how boring this party would be? I need to be mentally prepared" Pari never really enjoyed the suffocatingly sophisticated parties, she preferred a simple pa

    During dinner both of them tasted all the lovely desserts prepared by Ian and Pari was instantly in love with the taste. "Were you planning to get me into the hospital with so much sugar?" She asked him. Though it was a sweet gesture, it was really a sugary proposal, thank god she didn't have any health issues. "I didn't want to take you to some stupid 5 star restaurant for dinner. You love what I cook. So this seemed like a better idea. Moreover, dessert is my forte." He winked. Ian had a huge sweet tooth, so he would always pester his mom to prepare something to satisfy his cravings. In the process of making it, he would learn the recipe too. So desserts were indeed his forte. "Of course.... " Pari couldn't disagree. "And the girl I love is very sweet. So I thought something sweet would go well, " Ian cheekily replied. "Your sweet girl would have lost her sweet tooth if not for the spicy dinner. But thank you for putting up so much effort. I know it's not easy " "Anything for

    Ever since Pari planted the idea of the need for a perfect proposal, Ian got busy with planning it, trying his level best to keep it a secret. After brainstorming for a week, he was ready with his plan. Since she didn't expect anything fancy and extravagant, he decided to keep it simple and loveable. It was a normal Wednesday when Ian informed Pari that he had some paperwork regarding new property, so he would be off early. Since he didn't have anything important to do, she didn't complain. She decided to stay back and complete all the work in his absence. Since she was busy she didn't check the time and it was already 6.30 when she finally completed her work. She gathered her things and walked to her Audi. She drove to his place since it was already the weekend and Ian never really loved spending weekends separately. The door was ajar and she couldn't find Evelyn anywhere. As she continued walking she realised that the dining room smelled delicious and tempting, so she walked in af

    Finally Pari was back at home and her friends had prepared a recovery party for her at Ian's place. A large board that read 'welcome home' and a cake with a note 'For health and happiness' in a messy handwriting was waiting for her. Pari couldn't help but laugh at their messy last moment planning. But she loved them for their efforts. Later at night when everyone enjoyed wine and beer, Pari could only sip fruit juice. All the delicacies cooked were strictly scrutinised by Ian before she had it. After a hearty dinner and a hectic cleaning session everyone returned to their homes. After freshening up Pari and Ian settled in their bedroom. While Pari scrolled through her social media apps, Ian focussed on his work. It was almost late at night when Pari finally convinced him to sleep. So Ian cleared up everything and settled in their bed. Both of them had a peaceful and content sleep that night as they laid in each other's arms. Next day Pari had to literally kick him out to go to work.

    Paris's situation was much better by the next day and Ian felt relieved when the doctor informed that she could be discharged soon. Anna and Pari's friends visited her during lunch time and convincing them that she was alright was a tedious task for Pari. Anna had specially cooked lunch for Pari as she had complained that the hospital food was terrible. So Pari took this chance to tease Ian that his own mom loves her more than him. "Of course… I was kicked out of her priority list once you entered our life. I'm just a lonely millionaire longing for some love" Ian wiped his fake tears. "Why don't you consider an acting career Ian? I guess my daughter can manage all your business from now on while you focus on acting" Anna and Pari high-fived each other and Pari's personal cheer team supported them. Ian was just happy to see all of them happy. After the tragic incident, all their lives were filled with gloominess and now finally he could see some rays of happiness.By evening it was

    As expected, Pari was teary eyed when Ian completed reading. Ian's crumpled shirt now had the proof of her emotions, but all he did was pat her hair carefully and place a kiss on her forehead. "He loved her so much…But still they couldn't be together" Pari spoke too softly because of her wrecked emotions. "Life can not always be fair Pari. Sometimes we may not get what we dream of. But that doesn't mean the end of the world. We all need to move on and take a second chance" Ian tried to convince her. "But is it easy to forget someone whom we loved with everything we had?" "No… It's not… Everyone takes their own time to heal. Moreover, moving on doesn't always mean that we forget the person. We will continue our lives without their presence, but the memories we made will continue to be a part of our lives" Pari continued to bask in the meaning of his words."I had a dream last night… " Her words came out like a whisper after a long time. "Was it bad or good ? " Ian asked. "I can't

  • His Beloved Damsel   Chapter 108 : Side effects of boredom

    Pari was bored after laying on the bed for the entire day after waking up. Ian was strict on his conditions of not letting her move. Even during her washroom visits he would make sure that she hardly took four steps. She felt as if she was severely injured and strictly on bedrest, while in reality she was just a bit weaker than usual. But Ian wasn't taking any risk. Even her doe puppy eyes didn't yield any benefits this time. So she huffed and continued glaring at him while he continued working.The doctor had asked her to have light and soft food which she found extremely bland. Being brought up in a family that always had flavourful food, Pari had a real time struggle with hospital food, but Ian kept convincing her to have a little bit. By the time she finished dinner, she was hating the hospital with her entire being. "It's called abuse of power Ian. You wouldn't let me walk, use my phone or anything. You work and find some distraction, while I'm lying here all day. I feel like an

    "You are a lucky girl, he has been on his toes since he arrived here. Only few lucky ones receive such blessings" Lily spoke as she helped Pari to settle in a better position. "I'm indeed lucky… " Pari replied with a smile. "How long was I sleeping? " Pari asked Lily after a brief moment of silence. "After you were admitted and treated, you were under observation. Next day the sedatives had knocked you out. So technically I can say more than 2 days""No wonder I feel as if I have slept for too long" "Your friends were here too along with Ian's mother. They are really lovely people. They care about you a lot" Lily filled in. "These are the only people I have in my life. They are the reason for me to fight for life" Pari replied with a tiny drop of tears. She had no one else but them right now. She had her parents, but now… she had lost them in the battle of love and happiness. What if she couldn't survive this misfortune, what if she had really left this without bidding them a goo

    Sunlight slowly peaked into the room through the gaps between the curtains when Ian groggily opened his eyes. He quickly took a glance at Pari and she was still fast asleep. He kept staring at her for sometime hoping for some miracle, but nothing much changed. So he had to stay strong and get ready for the day. After freshening up, he changed into the spare clothes and settled for some coffee. He didn't have much appetite for food, so he decided to skip it. The duty doctor was back in the room and checked her vitals and other reports. Ian was eager to know why she was taking such a long time to wake up. "Everybody reacts differently to medicines. Not to mention it was a near to death experience for her when the incident occurred. So her brain and body has to go through a lot of healing before finally reacting to the present situation. You don't have to worry about anything else, let her take time to recover. The reports are pretty much normal so she'll be fine soon" The doctor's adv
