Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 392

Shreya leaned over hugging him around his neck. Charan quietly held her in his embrace. Both of them did not talk… there was no need for words anyways.

The peace that they found in each other was evident from the tranquility in the air.

Shreya was still sitting on his ŀȧps lazily leaning over his ċhėst. She kept playing with his shirt collars and buŧŧons. She kept flickering and circling them with her fingers while Charan rubbed over her head gently. Slowly, Shreya’s eyes got droopy with sleep.

Charan pecked on top of her head and asked breaking the silence, “You want to go to sleep?”

Shreya blinked and shook her head stubbornly. But she did not stop there… she even blinked her eyes several times while rubbing them with the back of her knuckles trying to stay awake.

Charan frowned at her confused.

“Sweetheart, it is getting late anyways. Why don’t you go to sleep…? It is fine… you are still taking tablets!” Charan tried to convince her.

Even when she was healed completely, she was still on some antibiotics and painkillers. And obviously, painkillers tend to make her drowsy more than normal.

“Just for some time… let’s stay like this!” Shreya mumbled not really bothering to move a muscle.

Charan did not try to persuade her anymore and stayed in place. As time passed by, he got to know the reason.

At exactly midnight, Shreya’s phone went off with rapid beeps and stopped.

Shreya’s eyes snapped open instantly. All her laziness seemed to be driven away in just seconds and she pulled away from his ċhėst and stood up on her knees. She leaned over to give him a hug all over again with a bright smile.

Just when Charan was about to ask what was going on, he heard her whispering against his ears.

“Many more happy returns of the day. Happy Birthday, Charan…” It was simple, straightforward, and sincere, just like her.

Charan’s heart trembled at the affection in her voice. Her wish sounded almost like a payer. His hands tightened around her unconsciously as he whispered back, “Thank you…”

Shreya gave him a long warm hug with all the strength she had. But Charan did not mind.

She pulled away. She gave him a bright smile meeting his eyes.

“I wish you all the happiness in the world!” Shreya said sincerely taking his face in her hands.

More than sincerity, there was a conviction in her voice that seems to want to defy the world. It almost felt like a vow rather than a wish. It was almost like she would do anything to make that happen.

Her thumbs rubbed on his cheeks looking at him gently before moving in to give a chaste kiss on his temple.

Shreya stayed there for a couple of minutes with her lips against his skin while Charan’s eyes closed involuntarily leaning into her touch.

Shreya’s love… the feelings she had for him. It was so overwhelming that the only thing that he could possibly compare it to was the love that a parent has towards their children. That love that was so pure, protective, and selfless but also stronger than anything else. And at that moment, Charan felt all of that from Shreya… and it felt overwhelming. His eyes couldn’t help but turn red as water gathered just shy of the socket.

Charan’s heart was in complete disarray… his feelings were in a complete mess. His heart was beating so fast against his ribs as if they would pop out of his skin any moment.

Just as Shreya was about to pull away, he did not let her go. Instead, he pulled her closer and hugged her. He buried his head against her ċhėst as he tried to sort out his messed-up heart.

Charan’s hands were circled around her waist holding her in his death grips not letting her move an inch. But Shreya never struggled in the first place. She just ran his fingers through his hair and peck on top of his head while still hugging him close.

After a long time, Charan pulled away from her and looked her up straight in the eyes, and said sincerely, “I love you, Shreya… I really really do!!”

“I know. I love you more…” Shreya smiled.

Charan stopped for a second. After a pause, he replied, “I know…”

And at that moment, he really did. Her love for him had long surpassed his.

He never knew a simple wish can move him so much. He never knew a simple wish can have so many emotions in them.

She made sure he was comfortable and she did it so seamlessly too… He never once got to know any sort of adjustments she had ever made to fit in with him… she never complained about it.

More than all else… she was transparent. Not just with her feelings towards him and Akira but she had been transparent about just about everything about herself. He never had to ask anything from her… she gave it without him ever having to ask. Every piece of information he had to know or don’t know about her always came from her first…

He never experienced a moment of doubt about her when he had been with her… not a single moment where he could even remotely distrust her. She had always been almost meticulous straightforward.

It still amazed him that she gave all that to him of all the people in the world.

And he knew at that very moment, he was screwed. She had him… all of him. She had all of his heart and soul. Little by little… inch by an inch. She had scraped him dry.. She could very well play with him like a puppet and he could do nothing about it whatsoever.
