From Hell To Heaven novel Chapter 47

Dharani POV

*************

When we reached home I went to take a shower and get ready. Akash too went to washroom to fresh up. I went downstairs for making breakfast. My thoughts drifted to our last night conversation.

Yesterday Akash told me without my love, he can't make love to me but I love you Akash. That's why I don't want you to stop yesterday. I realised my mistake that I didn't confessed my love to him. But don't worry Akash, today I will definitely confess my love to you.

Suddenly my phone started ringing. It's Ritika. I smiled.

"Super model Dharani madam, your husband came to you, so you completely forgot your friend naa? I hate you girl!" Ritika said angrily.

"Hello to you too Ritika!" I teased her.

"I don't want to talk to you. I am hanging up, bye" she said.

"Hey, sorry sorry! Ritika, please forgive this friend idiot of yours, please" I said pleadingly.

"Ok ok, I forgive you this time. Now tell me, how are you and how is your lovely husband?" Ritika asked me.

"Yes, we're fine Ritika. I... I want your help. Please help naa, your are my only best friend" I said.

"Tell me Dharani, what help you want?" Ritika asked curiously. I told her today I want to give surprise to Akash and I am going to confess my love and I want to give myself to him.

"Are you serious Dharani? You're married and you haven't consummate your marriage yet?" Ritika asked incredulously.

"Ritika we had an arranged marriage, so I told Akash I want some time and he agreed" I lied to her.

Sorry Ritika I lied to you. Because I don't want you to get angry at Akash because of his past action. Now he is completely changed and regrets his action every second.

"But I realised my love for him and I want to consummate my marriage" I told her sincerely.

"I'm fool obviously you two had an arranged marriage. And you aren't ready to take it further. That's okay. I can understand, so now you want to give surprise. We can plan a romantic night for Akash and I will help you with the decorations. We're going shopping right now and I will message the address" Ritika told.

"That's a great idea. I'll meet you at the shopping mall" I hung up the phone.

Akash came downstairs. I asked his permission to go for shopping and he agreed but when he give his card, past memories came flooding back. It was very painful to think about it. He noticed my tears and asked my forgiveness once more. I consoled him and he went to office.

I'm sorry Akash, I lied to you. Yes I'm going shopping but not for Ritika, for you Akash. I want to surprise. I want to confess my love to you and I want you make love to me.

Get ready for my surprise, husband!

Akash arranged a car and 5 bodyguards. I don't want any bodyguards but he didn't listen to me. After a lot of arguments, he finally agreed. After an hour I reached the shopping mall to see Ritika waiting outside and we entered mall together.

The moment I entered the shopping complex via its large entrance I virtually stepped into a different world from the street outside. These complexes contained a variety of shops. They sold shoes, sports goods, decorations, clothes, gifts, computers, video and audio equipment, furniture, musical instruments, cameras and films, food, drinks and many other things. Ritika said it is the most popular one in town.

We went to the 8th floor which was full of decorations items. Different types of flowers, candles and greetings cards and sparkling lights were on sale.

Wow!!

Ritika started selecting different types of candles and sparking lights while I was choosing greeting cards on the other side.

"Dharani tell me, which one smells good, lavender or rose perfume?" Ritika asked.

"Lavender smells good" I replied.

"Ok done" she said.

Ritika and I spent another hour or so shopping. Then we went clothing store.

I saw a black shirt and black jeans which will be perfect for my Akash. He looks very handsome in black outfit. I bought it for him.

"Dharani this gown is nice naa? Try this" Ritika said while holding green colour floor length gown.

"No Ritika, I have lot of dresses in my wardrobe. You don't know Akash literally bought a mini shopping mall in our home. I'll show it soon to you" I said to her.

"Really? So sweet of him! I'll just get this for myself. I guess he will love it" Ritika said happily.

"Yes, this colour will you suit you perfectly. Wait! wait! What did you just say? HE? Who is he?" I asked her looking suspiciously.

"He? No! It's she. My tongue slipped" Ritika said trying to cover up.

"Ritika are you hiding something from me? Its okay, its your personal matter and I don't have any right to interfere. I'm sorry" I said sadly.

"No! No! Dharani! You are my best friend and you have all rights to ask question me. Dharani, next week I'm going on a dinner date" Ritika said while blushing.

"Really? Who is the lucky guy?" I asked her shockingly.

"H...he is yo...your brother Av...Avinash!" she said nervously and I looked at her with wide eyes without saying anything.

"Dharani please say something, I know you may think I betrayed you but we are not sure about our feelings. This is just a friendly date. Please don't get angry at me" Ritika apologized but I suddenly hugged her.

"Why will I get angry? In fact I'm really happy for you. You are perfect for my brother. I'm so happy for you" I said smiling.

"Really? You aren't angry with me right?" She asked.

"No, I'm not angry Ritika, oops sorry sister in law" I said teasing her and she blushed.

"Stop teasing me Dharani" she slapped my arms playfully.

"Ok ok, now let's continue shopping."

Ritika pulled me to a lingerie store and selected a few lingerie for me.

"No way Ritika, I'm not going to buy this lingerie. I feel shy" I said to her in a low voice.

"Really Dharani? You are going to consummate your marriage but can't wear this lingerie?! You are impossible" she told shockingly.

"Ok this is my gift for you" she bought a few lingerie telling me one day I would thank her for this lingerie. I smiled at her confidence.

We were about to leave the mall when I noticed the guitars on sale in a music shop. Akash loves guitar so I immediately brought a guitar and we left the mall.

Soon we reached home. Ritika and I started the decorating the whole house. We lit candles.

I started writing greetings cards. I called up Akash to know when will he be back.

"Ritika, Akash will reach within 2 hours, please help me to get ready" I panicked.

"Relax first, come we have to select your dress." I took her to my mini shopping mall. Her jaw literally touch the ground and she roamed her eyes fully on entering my room.

"Oh my god! Your husband brought all necessary ladies things for you. He is very romantic and you are very lucky Dharani.", Ritika jumped in excitement. I suggested a traditional dress and make up like newly wedded bride. She agreed to it and we started searching for lehenga choli type dress.

After 15 minutes, we finally found a red and golden lehenga. The embroidered and stone work in the border gave it an elegant look. Ritika selected the matching jewels.

"Dharani first go and take shower." Ritika said.

After talking shower, I walked out of the washroom and stood in front of the mirror. I brushed my hair and then took a pinch of sindoor from the sindoor box and applied it on my partition. I blushed seeing the red material glowing in my partition .

To the beginning of a beautiful forever!

Then Ritika spent an hour for decorating me. After lot of arguments, Ritika made me wear a red colour lingerie.

What will Akash think about me?

Ritika did my hair and makeup very professionally. I was practically looking like a new bride.

"Finally Done! Now open your eyes and see" Ritika told and I slowly opened my eyes and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

Wow!! I looked stunning!!

Suddenly I was feeling nervous, "Do you think he'd like this?" I asked Ritika nervously.

"Dharani don't be nervous! You are looking beautiful and Of course! He will love your surprise" Ritika said teasingly and I blushed.

"Okay I will go and see you later. All the best for your new journey. May God bless you both." Ritika said and stood to leave.

"Dharani you know, I lost both my parents in a car accident like you. My grand mother was only my support but an year ago, she also died of heart attack. We all need somebody to love, care and trust. I'm really happy for you Dharani that my best friend has found this special person. Congratulations on your new life and may your life together be a continuous honeymoon!", Ritika said sincerely and I hugged her.

"Don't worry Ritika. You and bhai are make cute couple and I know you are "like a match made in heaven." So never let go of each other" I said to which she blushed.

I made her stay for few more minutes since I was very nervous. We talked and teased each other. Then Ritika bid goodbye to me and left the home.

Then I went to house temple for blessing, I put our marriage in your hands. You have brought us together. This beautiful gift you have given me, I will treasure it. I know you planned and made this match in heaven. Bless our marriage with peace and happiness. Today a new chapter is going to be unfolded, a new journey begins. Thank you god!" I opened my eyes and took deep breath.

I wanted to surprise him and hope it would be a pleasant surprise for him. I was very nervous.

I can do this!

I can do this!

I can do this!

Suddenly I heard Akash's car sound in the parking.

Omg! He is here!

I switched off the hall lights and ran to our bedroom waiting for my prince arrival.
