His Obsession

Chapter 12 : Family Vacation

Mishti squeals when she sees Drishti and Divi at the airport. She embraces them and feels a hand on her shoulder, she looks up and sees Nisha smiling lovingly at her. ‘’ How do you like your surprise my darling?” Mishti gives Nisha a confused look when Drishti nudges her. “Di, do you think you could go on a vacation without your Choti.” Alok puts his arm around Drishti’s shoulders and pulls her towards him. “Hey Tigress, how about you share the love.” Drishti rolls her eyes and elbows Alok causing him to yelp. Drishti looks at Yash’s massive private jet and gulps. Alok notices Drishti’s terrified face and smirks as he takes a seat next to his Tigress. A terrified Drishti starts to tremble and begins reciting the Hanuman Chalisa when the flight takes off. Alok squeezes Drishti’s hand and whispers, “ wow, this must be a dream, the once mighty Tigress has now turned into a scared kitten.” Drishti glares at Alok, who smirks.

Mishti is in awe of the beautiful scenery she is welcomed by as she exits the jet. Yash stretches out his arms and shouts, “WELCOME TO THE MALDIVES MY DEAR FAMILY.” Drishti immediately forgets the trauma of her first flight and does the happy dance. They finally arrive at the luxurious guest house when Yash pulls out the itinerary. “Sons, how about we go deep sea fishing tomorrow?” Both brothers high fived their dad, causing Nisha to roll her eyes. “Ladies, it’s time for us to be pampered so how about we hit the Spa tomorrow, followed by some much needed retail therapy,” said Nisha. The women nodded their heads in agreement. Mishti decides to freshen up before dinner but ends up screaming and covering her eyes when she sees a bare-chested Shivaan with only a towel hanging loosely around his waist exposing his V-line “Besharam [shameless], can’t you put some clothes on?” Shivaan is amused at his wife’s shyness; he pulls her into his arms. “Babygal, you should consider yourself lucky that I still have a towel around my waist, normally I prefer walking around nude.” Mishti pushes Shivaan and bolts out of the room, muttering curses under her breath.

The next day, the men go deep sea fishing while the women enjoy a very relaxing spa treatment. Nisha takes Mishti’s palms in hers, “Beti[daughter], I need to share something very important with you.” Mishti looks at Nisha with concern. “Tell me mum, what is troubling you?” Nisha takes a deep breath, “Shivaan has had a very rough start to life. Yash and I were friends of his parents, who died tragically. This led to Shivaan and Alok being orphaned. We started to search for the boys once Yash recovered from the accident and eventually found them in the hospital. Shivaan was 18 and Alok was just 15. We have become a happy family, but Shivaan has formed a wall around his heart that gives him this cold, stern demeanour. Beti, I know you are the only one who can break this wall. I have seen the old, playful Shivu when you were around him. All I want is for my son to be happy.” Mishti sobs after hearing the heartache and pain Shivaan has faced. She hugs her crying mother-in-law to comfort her while silently promising to give Shivaan and her marriage a chance.

The next morning, the women are banned from entering the kitchen because the men have decided to prepare breakfast. Nisha groans and slaps her forehead. “Ladies we are doomed, I hope you have health insurance.” Mishti smells something burning and rushes into the kitchen, followed by the others. Drishti bursts into a fit of laughter when she sees Alok covered in flour. Drishti tries to catch her breath. “Wow Mr Dumbass, now that look really suits you, I’m sure you can play a snowman in the winter musical.” Alok looks at Drishti with a Mischievous glint, “My dear tigress, how about I share my look with you.” Drishti’s eyes widen, she sprints out of the kitchen with Alok hot on her trail. After a disastrous breakfast, Yash decided to have a family picnic at the beach. Mishti blushes when she sees a shirtless Shivaan strolling towards her. Shivaan holds out his hand for Mishti, “My dear wifey care to join your handsome husband for a swim.” Mishti gulps and shakes her head. “I think I’ll pass, water and I are a recipe for disaster.” Shivaan being the big brute he is, picks Mishti and throws her over his shoulder effortlessly with Mishti kicking and screaming in an unsuccessful attempt to free herself. Shivaan suddenly lets go of Mishti and she feels the ice-cold water against her velvety skin. She instinctively wraps her legs around Shivaan’s waist. Shivaan felt his junior stir, he wraps his strong well-toned arms around Mishti as he whispers, “Babygal, I will always keep you safe, trust me.” Mishti wraps her arms around Shivaan’s neck, her heart flutters when she gazed into his steel-grey eyes. Shivaan gropes Mishti’s firm voluptuous butt and places feather-like kisses on her neck, causing her to moan. The pair head back to the shoreline. Mishti took deep breaths to calm her racing heart. The Mehra’s and Patel’s can’t believe how fast time has passed as they head back to London, unaware of the disaster that awaits them.
