Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 408

Madhu’s breathing hitched when she looked at the man kneeling in front of her.

Akash did not make any extravagant promises. He never said he was going to do this or that… he just humbled himself as he asked her to share her life with him.

Madhu choked as tears gathered on her shocked involuntarily. Her emotions swirled around waywardly.

You should understand, Madhu not just loved him… somehow without herself knowing, she became dependent on him. She clung to him as if he was her last life straw. He was her hope… her hope for being loved by someone instead of just being an orphaned abandoned little girl thirsty for love.

Her love for him was not just absolute but also very humble. She did not need anything from him… as long as he can be there with her and love her, she wouldn’t ask for more.

So, Akash needed really ask her for anything at all… she would just give without asking any questions. But it was this attitude of hers that drove Akash to give her more.

Akash took out a box and showed her the ring. It was a simple elegant ring with a simple silver band and a big diamond to the center.

The tear that was precariously holding on to her sockets fell down as she anxiously nodded her head.

Akash smiled instantly but still said, “You are going to have to open your mouth and say it out loud, baby? What if I misunderstood you?” Akash teased. He knew how Madhu reacted to endearments. Madhu practically goes to being a tomato every time she called her baby. She had complained about it quite a few time but Akash found it fun every single time who she reacted.

Madhu glared at him through her teary eyes pouting her lips. She did not open her mouth but her cheeks reddened at his teasing. She was still not used to his endearments. She even turned her head away from him showing her contempt.

Akash couldn’t help smile as he got up from his knees and approached her.

“Little cry baby. Are you planning on getting me beaten by Bhavna today?” Akash asked helplessly wiping away her tears carefully. He was really not looking forward to facing Bhavna’s wrath today of all days. He will lose face. If Bhavna knew he let Madhu cry after her hours of effort dolling her up, he will be a lump of dead meat by the end of the day for sure.

Madhu did not reply. Just looked at him with even more resentment.

“Who will want to be your bride if you keep teasing me like this!?!” Madhu mumbled.

“Sorry… sorry, I wouldn’t tease you anymore!” Akash compromised immediately. And he quickly slipped the ring into her fingers before she could protest as if he was afraid she would really say ‘no’ suddenly.

Madhu couldn’t help look at her own fingers in a daze. It fit just right.

Akash took her face into his hands and make her look at him. He stared back at clean eyes as he whispered, “I gave you the ring… you cannot take back your words anymore!!”

“I… I did not prepare anything for you!!” Madhu mumbled looking down suddenly. She could help feel guilty about it.

Between the two of them, it seems she was always in the receiving end… both materials and affection. She never seem to be taking the initiative to do anything between the two of them because she was always either too shy or too nervous.

“You just have to be with me…” Akash started but his words came to stand still when Madhu leaned over and suddenly pecked on his cheeks.

Akash’s lips twitched but he did not let her go just then. He simply showed her his other cheeks and said, “Not enough!!”

Madhu chewed on her lips for a while but she still leaned over and pecked on his other cheeks. Her eyes fluttered away shyly looking at the lipstick mark left behind on Akash’s cheeks.

Akash just beamed until he heard Madhu pointing at his cheeks.

“You… You…” Madhu stammered pointing at his cheeks and her lips simultaneously.

Akash slightly tilted his head to look in the mirror and immediately found out what she was getting at.

But instead of wiping it, he just smiled proudly. He had the wild thought of having to show off suddenly. But Madhu never gave him the chance as she took some tissues from around and wiped them away for him.

“Come on, let’s go. It’s about time.” Akash said taking her hands and walking out.

They were in one of the presidential suits in the Imperial.

His engagement party was actually held in the biggest hall in the Imperial.

Akash wanted to keep it simple but Anand gave him an option… after all, they were a big family and they had too many business partners and clients. Even when Srivastav’s stood aloof in the business community, they still cannot completely ignore all of them after all.

Even when he was reluctant, Akash agreed. He wanted the wedding to be about Madhu and himself alone and not be a business event.

So, as soon as he entered the hall, he was met with a hell of a lot of people in business suits and long dresses with champagne glasses… As soon as he came in, Madhu’s hands clenched around his arms and everyone stopped talking abruptly.

Akash was the only one who was still grinning as he exclaimed at the top of his voice and said, “She said yes!!!”

Applause erupted out instantly as everyone came around to congratulate him heartily while Madhu pinched on his arms blushing.

After that, it was like any other formal event where Akash went to talk to everyone with Madhu on his toes. He introduced Madhu to everyone enthusiastically.. He did not leave her side even for a second throughout the event.
