Avni's POV

Why was I feeling this happy and excited?? It was not how I usually behave... So what was it??

I didn't know... But didn't care at the moment. I just kept driving carefully. After driving for about 3 hours, I finally reached Ranikhet.

I took a deep breath and parked the car in the market parking lot; I went into a coffee house and ordered a coffee and a fruit muffin.

And then following his very precise landmark locations and directions, I finally reached his farmhouse. I pulled up outside his home. It looked huge and beautiful. It was a mansion.

It had a very English-type structure. I got out of the car and stood in front of the two-storeyed, white building with lots of windows. There were a lot of pine trees lined up around the boundaries of the property. The place looked beautiful with lush green grass lawns.

Just then, the main door of the house opened, and Robert came with a butler following him. " Avni! I am glad you are here. Welcome to my home !! " He said.

    Chapter 8He opened the door of a room and stood back, allowing me to enter the room first. It was very nice; somehow, I had this feeling that I would be treated as a member of the family and not like some casual governess. This room proved my point. It was very big and beautiful. My breath was caught at the beauty of it. It had more antique furniture in the shape of wardrobes, chest of drawers, and dressing tables, completed with the four-poster bed draped in cream velvet with coffee-colored hand embroidered tie backs with matched curtains at the windows. " Oh, my God !! This room is lovely. " " I thought you would be comfortable in this room as it has a view of the front garden. Did you like it? " " It is awesome!! Beautiful !! Thanks a lot. " I said with a smile. " I am glad you liked it, I just wish that you get very happy here. I wanted you to be very comfortable. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything else. " He said and I was really touched by the way he

    Avni's POVI helped them to get changed into nightwear and told them a sweet fable.It was almost 15 minutes when I joined him. He was having a drink and smiled at me and asked me my preference. " Thanks, but I do not drink. " " What?? Seriously?? Never?? " He was surprised and I nodded with a smile. " I just had once or twice with John but didn't like it. "He finished the drink and asked me to come with him. We walked side by in the open area. I don't know why but it felt really good. I wanted to keep walking with him. We reached the place where I had left my car. But it was nowhere to be seen now. " My car was parked here, right?? " I asked out of curiosity." I had it garaged for you. I will show you around in the morning. " He said and I nodded." You must be a very good driver since you came here driving all by yourself. Have you been driving for long? "" Ever since I was 18 years old. " " Thanks for this, I got my answer. " He said and laughed. " Oh, I am sorry that

    Avni's POV " How can I let you go alone on the very first morning? After all, you are family. " He said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. Was he offended?? Or was he making fun of me?? " I am sorry for the way I behaved yesterday. " I said to him. " Not at all... in fact, I was thinking of calling your dad. " He said all of a sudden, and it seemed as if someone had robbed me of my breath. " What?? No !! Why?? " I almost said too quickly and in a very harsh tone. He was a bit surprised at my sudden reaction. " Just the basic courtesy call, thanking him for letting you come and assuring him that you would not have any problem here as you are a part of my family only." He replied to me very calmly. I was shocked at what he was planning to do. " No !!!! " I said quite forcefully. N" What happened?? " He asked me. My reaction made him suspicious. " Please don't do that... " I almost pleaded with him. " Your reaction was a little too much. Are you scared of something or som

    Avni's POV " I told you. " I said and started to move when he stopped me again. " Didn't you know he was rich?? Richer than your father. He could buy the stable he worked in. " He asked me at once with a frowned face. " I didn't marry him for his money. " I said, giving an explanation. Somehow it hurt me a lot. I didn't want him to assume that I was with John for his money. " You don't have to say that... I already know that. In fact, we all know that." He said immediately. " I came to know only when he brought me to meet your parents. Trust us, I really didn't know... " I gave the explanation again but he did not let me finish it. " My father wanted to give you John's share but you refused it and all other offers of financial help. So I know that you are not like that. "" I don't want it... I have my own money. It is nothing big as per your standard but it is more than enough to be independent. I inherited it from my mother. " I said and he kept looking at me for a long

    Avni's POV" Uncle, see Avni can skip so well. But she is too big and the rope is small for me. " She said and I smiled. She was so cute. " She is your Aunt, Lara. Please call her that. " Robert told her and she looked at me. " Oh, ok... But she said she was our friend. " She seemed to be confused because we both introduced me in different ways. " It's ok, I am your friend too. Where is Bill?? " I asked her." He is coming... " She said and just then we saw him coming with his football. He came and greeted us with a smile. " Let's have breakfast, I am famished," Robert said. We all went to have our breakfast. Mrs Gomez had prepared an elaborate English breakfast. We all enjoyed everything, and I complimented her for her cooking and asked why she made so many things. " It is my passion... I love cooking. I like Indian food too but have not tried cooking it. I wish I had tried it, I could have made a few things for you. " She said and smiled at me. It was so sweet of her. I r

    Robert's POV I was going to my work and was still thinking about Avni. I was supposed to leave in the morning itself but thought to spend some more time with her. But I think she was getting uncomfortable around me, so I thought that it would be much better if I left her alone. I still remember the day, I saw her for the first time. My mom had told me that John was bringing someone to meet them. She was very excited that maybe she was going to meet her future daughter-in-law. She wanted me to come too but as I was in Mumbai at that time, I said that I would try to come as soon as possible. But after a few hours, she gave me the terrible news of the accident. I just dropped everything and rushed there. I came to know that he was already married to an Indian girl. I looked for her and saw a very simple but pretty girl. She was extremely shocked and shattered, staring at some imaginary point on the horizon. Her eyes were lifeless. It seemed that she was totally oblivious to the w

    14Avni's POVRob was gone and I don't know how I felt. It was something between relief and guilt. I felt bad that I was rude to him, but I felt that somehow, he had a knack for causing ripples, and he made me furious because he was creating waves in the still waters of my life. I spent the whole week getting to know kids even better. We made a schedule together after I understood their curriculum, books, hobbies, and other activities. According to the schedule, they were to study at least 3 subjects daily. Do some activity which helped them in learning their subjects better. Then spending some time on their hobbies. Bill was very good at sketching and was fond of plants and Lara was good at dancing and wanted to learn drawing and painting. So we decided to do at least one of them every day. I also started teaching them some new rhymes and stories. They wanted me to tell them bedtime stories and I was more than happy to do it. We got different things from the market to do differen

    Avni's POV The whole next week was spent in more or less the same manner. The bond between the kids and me was getting stronger day by day. It was Friday night again. I was having dinner when I realized that Robert might come on the next day. I again felt embarrassed when I recalled that he had called last week and asked if I wanted him to come back and I had bluntly said, No. I looked at the phone, thinking, what would I say if he again asked if I wanted him to come home?? I had no idea... I don't know if I wanted to see him or not. He did not call and I don't know why I felt bad. But why should he call to take permission from her? It was his home, he could come and go anytime he wanted. He just wanted to know if she was settled or not or if the kids were fine or not. I was not coming home as he didn't have to. Because now I was here to take care of his wards. I went to my room to sleep but sleep was too far off from my eyes. I just kept thinking about how he made me feel d

    Avni's POV " Why do you always avoid this conversation?? " He asked. " What?? I don't !! " I said trying to get out of his arms. " I have a feeling... That you are hiding something. Something that concerns John. You always avoid talking about him. " He said. " It is just your assumption. " I said too quickly. " Then tell me about your relationship with John. "Oh God! This man was so persuasive. But I didn't want to answer. Hell, I didn't even know the answer to this question. I just wanted to run away. But he was holding me tight. I could not push things anymore. I have already told him about my dad. And I felt very light after that. That moment I decided that I would not shy away from things. I would not hide things. This is my new life, I wanted to leave everything behind. So here was the chance. I will tell him, or he will keep on asking. " Ok, leave me. " I said and he loosened his arms.

    Robert's POV" Ok, let's not get into it. Let's talk about you. " I said. " What about me?? " she got a bit conscious. " So, since you never had a boyfriend, as you never went out with anyone on a date, why did you agree to go out with John?? " I asked as I was very curious to know what made her accept John's offer. " Oh, John was different. He was as crazy about horses as I was. We usually talked about horses, and gradually, we became friends. " She said casually. " And?? " I prompted as I wanted to know more about their relationship." And?? And what?? " She asked. " And how did he ask you to be his girlfriend and eventually about getting married to him? " I asked and I felt that she went down memory lane. I was looking at her expressions, which were changing frequently as if she was watching a movie or she was reliving those moments. She seemed excited, smiled at the sweet memories, and then became serious and even shocked and scared. Why did she look shocked and scared??

    Robert's POVI reached home and saw Tom and Bahadur in the garden. I asked them if everything was fine and they both nodded with a smile.He reported everything regarding all the activities and visitors. I was annoyed at that doctor. Who called him again?? How dare he ask Avni to go on a date?? But was really pleased to hear about the way my ice princess gave him a cold shoulder. I smiled and then tried to hide it but Tom saw it. " She left him to have coffee with me. You should have seen his face. He left without even finishing it. " He was laughing." Good !! " " Yeah !! She is very good, Mr. Taylor."" I know... Did you see Mike anywhere near this area?" I was really happy to hear that but I had to change the topic. " No !! " " Ok !!! Where is Av... Mrs Taylor?" I tried to avoid her topic, but my stubborn mind was stuck on her. I looked around but didn't see her. I just wanted to see her now, so I asked." She went to the stables as she is always there at this time. " Tom

Yesterday, Mr Taylor said that you were Mrs Taylor, while you said you were not married to him. I am a bit confused. " He asked. " I was married to his brother. " I replied. " Was married?? " " My husband died in an accident. " I said calmly on the surface but I was very uncomfortable. " Oh, I am so sorry. How long ago?? " He asked me another question. " Almost a year now. " " Oh... So you are not married now? " he asked, I was getting more uncomfortable with the direction in which the conversation was going. He was trying to flirt with me. And I knew how to put him off. " Yeah !! If you will excuse me now, I have to go and tend to the kids. " I said to avoid him. " Oh, I thought it was time for breakfast. I had to leave very early in the morning. So I didn't get a chance to eat a

    Robert's POV I felt very good when he called her my wife. I smiled." Er... I am not his wife. " She said. Why did she have to correct him?? " Oh, I am so sorry... As it is you looked very young to be the mother of these kids. " He smiled at her. I wanted to wipe that smile off his face. " I am not... I am their governess. " " Oh !! Great !! You are Indian, Right?? May I know your name, please?? " He was smiling at her. " Dr Tushar, thanks a lot for visiting. Now, I think, you must leave as your other patients must be waiting for you. Come, I will show you to the main door. " I said in a high tone. He nodded and smiled. " I will be back to check her on my way back. " He said with a smile. " Please don't bother; I will inform you if and when we need to consult you. Please give me your phone number. " " Sure !! " He gave me a curt nod and then turned to smile at her.

    Robert's POVI was still thinking about Sam and Aman when I saw Avni leaving the home and going towards the stables. I followed her out." Going to stables?? Why don't you bring your bed down there?? " I said all of a sudden and she was startled to see me. " Oh, Good morning !! Did I wake you up while leaving?? I am sorry; I tried to be as silent as possible, but..."" No, you didn't. I seem to require as little sleep as you I was in my study talking to one of our clients abroad. " I said and went to greet her in my usual way. I pulled her into an embrace and kissed both her cheeks, though the duration of the kiss was a few seconds longer than usual. A beautiful colour started creeping on her cheeks making her look even more beautiful. I had to think of something else or I would have kissed her senseless. " How is Lara now?? Did she sleep better?? And you?? " " She is fine, her temperature is also normal now. Sleeping peacefully. But it would be nice if a doctor could examine

No very pretty sister. Go get ready. " I said and she went away. " So, what happened?? " Aman asked me as soon as she went to get ready. " I made arrangements now he can't come here. " " Great!! She had become so upset that she was crying bitterly. I had to soothe her. " He gave me the unnecessary explanation. Maybe he thought that I would be angry to see him embracing my sister. " Thanks, Aman!! Er... Aman, I need your help. " I said as I had to bring them together. " Yeah !! Anything... Why are you hesitating in asking me?? What happened? " He said. " I went to meet her doctor and she said that all t

" I panicked and placed my hand on his lips to stop him from kissing me. He was shocked as much as I was but then he smiled and kissed my palm. " You are so cute... Of course, it is right. There is nothing wrong with it. But it can wait. " He turned my hand and kissed the back of it. I tried to pull my hand back. He just smirked and held it tightly. " I need to go and see Lara... " I said not daring to look at him. " Let's go dear... " He said walking towards the kids' room. He was still holding my small hand in his large one. He left my hand only when we reached there and I saw Bill looked tensed. He was looking for us. " What happened, Bill?? " He asked. " She fell asleep all of a sudden and she was shivering. Her face is red and hot!! " Bill explained. " Is it??" I said and ran towards her and touched her forehead.

I can't have feelings for... " I was saying but he didn't even let me finish. " I know you feel as if you would betray John if you have feelings for anyone else. But even he would not want you to live your life like this. You are only 23 years old. You can't spend your life like this. " He said rather sweetly. " We don't love each other. " I said. " Talk about yourself, not me. " He said curtly." Robert... Please try to understand." I pleaded. " Make me... Convince me, and I will convince you that my feelings are genuine. " Oh, God!! This man was too good and persistent. How would I stop him from making a place in my heart like that??But I had to... Because he will hate me when he comes to know everything.
