"Astra inclinant, sed non obligant"

Traces of confusion appeared on Leo's face.

"What does it mean?"

"Hmph! Dumbass! Didn't you study latin university? So don't you know what it means?" Abhishek harrumphed.

"But it's alright. I'm a generous friend so I'll tell you what it means?"

Leo was stunned. "How shameless can you be? A few seconds ago you were the one with pale face and now look at you...tsk tsk!"

"Whatever! You still don't know what it means whereas I do." The brown eyed man proudly said while tilting his chin forward and pointing towards his chest.

Leo stayed silent this time. Even if I say anything, this stupid idiot will only take up more of my time. Sigh!

Abhishek didn't notice his friend's helpless sigh and continued.

He thought that if it's a dream then he would rather dream all his life than wake up. His fingers trembled slightly and his heart jumped in joy. His Triantáfyllo was awake!!!!! SHE WAS AWAKE! He couldn't stop saying this in his head.His lips curled up into a wide smile, the kind of smile never before seen on his cold face.His other hand went to her face to touch her. His big hand softly grazed her tender and slightly pale cheeks."Triantáfyllo, can you hear me? Are you awake, my love?" His voice was so tender and gentle and soft and low as if he did not want to disturb her but at the same time he wanted her to talk to him with her sweet voice. He couldn't think of anything else at this moment. The next second,

    THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ "Xander?"Her voice was utterly soft in the dead quiet of the dark night. Her lips parted softly as she exhaled and her warm breath brushed past Xander's ear. He felt his body unconsciously stiffen. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to touch his body and called his name in such a gentle voice. Hearing her calling him like that made his frustration from earlier on witnessing her with Lucas, disappear. Her voice soothed his agitated heart but still a bit of anxiety was left. He was anxious.What if she now decided to leave him? It was said that when a person experiences a life and death situation, a change appears in them.It was his fault that she was in such a condition this time so would she leave him now. On the contrary, Scarlett wasn't thinking about this at all. She felt a different sensation on seeing him so close to her.There was an apparent joy i

    THIRD PERSON'S POV ___________________________________________ Caressing her hand through the soft black curls on his head, she sighed again. His hair were so soft to the touch that she wasn't able to take her hand off his head. And also, she loved caressing his hair so tenderly. It gave her a strange but warm feeling inside her heart as if something she had been looking for was finally here, finally with her. Her lips curved into a soft smile as she looked at him. Her gaze fell from his hair to his cheeks. He was sleeping soundly and his chest fell up and down with each breath he took. As he was sleeping on her, she felt her body vibrate with each movement of his. Her breath hitched every time it happened. She wanted to raise her hand and squish his cheeks to see if they were as smooth and flawless and they looked. Her gaze wondered around his peaceful countenance curiously. As she had never truly looked at him properly before, this was the first time she could look at him f

    THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing her question, the sleeping body of Xander stiffened.His lips pursed ever so slightly and the gaze he looked at Ryan with became much more colder all of a sudden. As if he said one more wrong word, he'll get strangled by the death god here right now in this exceedingly freezing room. Ryan shuddered under that cold gaze and he could practically feel the chill rising from his feet till the tips of his fingertips. Hurriedly , he shook his head and opened his mouth to speak but as if he had a sudden thought, he shut his mouth. If Xander is here and Scar has suddenly asked about his sleeping habit.....?Does that actually mean what I'm thinking?Thinking about this, his eye's widened and the way he looked at Xander held a bit of reproach. How could... he? He... he did that?! Doesn't he know that his wife has just come out of coma and even if he wanted to express his love,

Still, he knew he was wrong. She had just woken up and he kissed her so hard. He should give her some time. Looking back, Scarlett saw that Mia and Kat were both gone and she breathed a sigh of relief. It's not like there's anything wrong she was doing. Like she was kissing her husband and it's supposed to be cute and loving and sweet if other people saw it but she could still feel her heart beating so fast against her chest and her cheeks heating up. First time, it was Kat who interrupted them but atleast at that time, they weren't kissing each other but this time.....ahhh! It was Mia who caught them and plus, she could tell they were so intensely making out with each other and Scarlett felt so embarrassed.

    The flowers of various different colours were arranged in a uniform manner around the entire boundary of the hall. The ruby red and pure pink were the ones that dominated among the flower arrangements. Beautifully embroidered and shimmering golden, thick curtains laced with soft white laces had formed an exquisite bow at the place where the curtain threads are tied, along with the huge hanging chandelier sparkling like diamonds on above and the silent but peaceful cover of the dark night, it all made this date night more special. As I marvelled at the luxurious decorations, a sound came from behind me and no later I felt a light stubble grazing the back of my neck. "Ah, Xander! You startled me."I tried to turn around to face him but his arms held me right around my waist and pulled me closer. "No, just stay like this." He whispered as his breath fell on the skin of my neck. "Huh." I took a deep breath. To be honest, in such a beautiful atmosphere, I have had already lost my he

He voice went low as he spoke the last few words.I could almost feel his breath spraying on my earlobe."Ohh." I nodded in response."I thought you knew Hindu." Chuckling at my own assumption, I turned around."Tell me about you." I said to him, looking straight into his eyes.I wanted to know more about him. Just know, he talked about his mother. I've never heard of her before so I am c

    "Umm....I don know."I stuttered.Walking towards him, I smiled awkwardly and answered,"Maybe someone put it outside by mistake."Xander just nodded before walking past me towards that bouquet of roses."It's a mistake then. But I don't like someone giving roses to my wife, even when it's a mistake."Turning around, he flashed me a cold grin."So, let's throw it away."Yeah sure.I had no qualms about throwing this bouquet away so I didn't say anything.By why do I feel a bad premonition? Did I forget something.He turned around and carelessly picked away that bouquet of roses but just then a note slips fell down from amongst the flowers.Oh...!The note slip!That's what I forgot.I immediately panicked."Xander, let's-"But it was already too late.

    "It's already the 7th of February."I mumbled while crunching on the special cookies made by my husband.Valentine week has already started and it's evening now but still no roses from this handsome but ice block of a husband of mine.Xander glanced at me before he went back to pouring a cup of coffee for himself and a cup of tea for me.Now, let's clear something up. Yes, he's like a handsome devil just as in those Hot CEO novels and I'm really proud of having such an amazing and handsome man as my husband who's also a chef but..but, the coffee he drinks is the same taste-like, bitter.Blergh!(Just mimicking, don't take it serious)So where were we? Yes, coffee!His bitter coffee, yes. So like the coffee he drinks is not completely black coffee like told in those novels and dramas but the taste is still the same bitter one.So for me, tea is still better."Thanks." I said before taking a sip of my tea."So....""Yes?"I glared at him. Hmph!"What "yes?"?! You didn't even look up fro

    "Don't...don't laugh at me." Scarlett stuttered but she still laid on the ground. Raising her hand and putting it on her temples, she rubbed and cried out,"I'm so weak...ah, I can't even get up now. My legs ache...." Casting a side glance at Xander, she continued with her acting.Of course, she came here to do a prank on him.Hoping to disturb in his meeting and that still can be done. And yes, she had already confirmed with the head butler that he was not in a very important meeting as Xander had not given any strict instructions to not disturb him. So she felt it was okay. He's my husband after all.In this way, she convinced herself. Anyhow, now she has fallen down.Hmph! Who said you can't prank after you've fallen on your butt, *cough* *cough* in her case, stomach? "Ahh...Xander, it hurts...." She pitifully cried out him. Her lips pursed together to give the impression as if she's trying really hard to hold back her tears from dripping down.

    Pursing my lips, I stifled a yawn as he once again lectured me.I glared at him being sleepy which just made me eyes water instead of looking fierce."Got it." I waved my hand."What do you mean you got it? You need to learn this and recite two time." He insisted."Oh god Xander.....just lemme sleep." I again whined.My sleep, I know you are waiting for me but I'm sorry, my husband is not leaving me tonight.I chuckled to myself thinking what if I say this sentence out loud.Well, let's find out.Looking to a corner towards the fireplace, I muttered, deliberately in a loud voice to make this husband of mine hear."My sleep, I know you are waiting for me but I'm sorry, my husband is not leaving me tonight."Xander's eyes narrowed as he looked at me the moment those words left my mouth.His lips curled up at the corner of his mouth."What did you just say, mou triantafyllo?"I huffed and didn't answer him. Maybe I shouldn't have said that but it's not like I said anything wrong."Want t

    Clouds layered across the sky in thick density this day. The rays of sun seemed like they were playing hide and seek with them, coming and going the other moment as if they could just slip out of one's hand at any moment.Xander had not slept the entire night yesterday. He was awake all night, sitting beside his Triantafyllo, just as her guardian.And yes they were still sleeping in separate rooms as it had only been a week since she was discharged.And he had yet to bring up the matter of sleeping in the same room with her.He sighed."ómorfi mou, triantáfylló mou."He placed a long kiss on her forehead as he bent down and stood up a few moments after."Hmm?" Scarlett stirred up as she felt a soft and warm touch upon her face."Sleep sone more. I'll get something for you to eat." He gently pushed the strands of her hair sticking out behind and again laid a soft kiss on her lips before getting up."Uhmm....don't go." Scarlett murmured in her sleep as her hold on his arm grew tight.He

    The early rays of the sun shined on the two bodies cuddled together under the white sheets through the large window in the room as the curtains flew slightly because of the wind. It was a nice weather. Nice enough that Xander didn't sleep whole night.His eyes only kept staring at his Triantafyllo. After the doctor had diagnosed her, she has been sleeping till now in her room and he had stayed beside her for the whole night. He was thinking of the words Doctor Mike told him last night when she had fainted. "I don't know how to say this but I guess memories from those years back might be coming back now. It might be bits or fragments of sone moments but this is typically the case when a coma patient or the one who has had amnesia starts remembering things. She must have been overwhelmed by the memory or may be its possible that she might have tried hard to think about it and get the memory of that specific moment altogether which scientifically speaking, is almost not possible and
