Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 407

Madhu jumped startled when she heard locks click behind her. If it had been any other normal occasion, she wouldn’t have jumped. But it was her engagement and she was already terrified and nervous out of her wit’s end. But more than that, she was also excited. Everything she felt made her on the edge messing up with her nerves.

So, even when the door was opened softly, she couldn’t help be antsy.

“Sorry, I did not mean to startle you!!” Akash murmured closing the door behind him carefully. He had snuck out of his room and he cannot be caught just yet… so, he cannot be too careful at this point. But all his caution and brain stopped working as soon as he turned around. His breath stuck on his throat as his eyes widened. He froze in place as his eyes stayed on Madhu fixedly.

He forgot to even breathe.

She looked… he did not even have the words to describe.

Bhavna had strictly deprived him of knowing what Madhu was going to wear. In his sister’s words, ‘it would totally ruin the surprise’. For once, he cannot agree more with his crazy sister. He was surprised beyond words.

Madhu was wearing a light yellow lehenga today. The skirt flared all around her from her hip and did not stop until they reached the floor. The whole skirt was beautifully embroidered with stones on it. Her blouse fully showed off her midriff with a deep square neck and her dupatta slung over her shoulders.

Her make up minimal with a pink blush and her hair was pulled up into an intricate delicate-looking messy high bun.

Both of them did not move for a long time.

Madhu looked up at Akash with the same degree of awe. Even though she had seen him wear suits all the time for business events. But he still looked more than dashing in his white blazer suit. He did not have his usual tie or a bow. He looked extremely handsome. Madhu hurriedly averted her eyes when she met with Akash’s eyes staring at her blankly.

Akash quickly checked the corner of his lips for drool as soon as he came back to his senses. Unconsciously his hands reached to close the doors behind him.

“Akash… You… you? What are you doing here?” Madhu stammered widening her eyes at Akash. His eyes were unfocused. Somehow she felt shy and bashful when she looked at his dark glittering eyes. She nervously took a step back when Akash took one step towards her.

Words completely failed both of them. They did not know what to say at all… but then, there was no need to say anything at all. Because looking into each other’s eyes, they could see that they were both in an identical state of mind… Completely and utterly mesmerized, and flustered and drugged with the presence of each other…

If Madhu wearing that red dress in the shopping mall made him want to comit sin, this look on her made her look so pure and innocent. That red dress practically coerced him to be close to her… her skin glowed and tempted him to touch her. But today, it was a stark contrast to that day… today she looked too naïve for the world. Little pure angel… completely without any blemish.

Even when Madhu kept taking steps behind her, she came to a stop when she felt her back hit the wall behind. But even Akash stopped moving… just inches away from her.

His hands reached for her but still stopped without daring to touch. He felt as if his touch would disrupt the picture-perfect image in front of her… he felt as if he would somehow dirty her if he touched her.

He let his hands down and took her hands into his hands as he whispered, “You look so damn beautiful that I am afraid I would somehow ruin it if I touched you…” He still irresistibly leaned down resting his forehead against her.

Madhu’s whole being glowed instantly. She bloomed like a flower seeing the sun. A shy grin spread on her face making her so much more beautiful than she already was. Her face flushed pink…

“You look dashing too…” Madhu’s whispered with a bȧrėly audible voice.

“Hey, I wanted to do something before all the buzz starts and they call us out!!” Akash said leaning over her shoulders hunching down.

“What is it?” Madhu asked looking confused.

Akash let out a nervous breath. He did not move from his place as he tried to swim through the chaos in his head. He had drilled and prepared himself incessantly before coming here. But all his thoughts flew through his head as soon as he saw Madhu. His mind went blank as a sheet when he laid eyes on her.

“I… I…” Akash stammered as the hands inside his pockets gathered sweat. But Madhu did not rush him.

She just stayed quiet and looked at him with those innocent eyes like an angel.

Akash gulped as he looked at her. What little courage he had gathered seemed to be quickly fading away looking into her eyes. But he wanted to do this for her… even when he was nervous he did not want to deprive her of the gesture.

So, he took a deep breath and pulled away, and let her stand in front of him as he got down on his knees. He looked up at her shocked eyes solemnly as he said, “I don’t know what is appropriate to say on this occasion. I had prepared a speech but it flew over the top of my head when I saw you. So, he goes…”

“Madhu… I don’t even know how but I fell in love with you. When you stumbled into my office all those years ago, you seemed to have also stumbled into my heart.. I am really looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you. SO, will you do me the honor of being my bride?”
