#After Three Years#

*Palak Pov*

"Be careful, Elisha!" I called out using her full name which finally made her from moving closer to the railing to watch her father more than she can.

"Daddy!" she shouted and I immediately pulled her back to cover her mouth.

We are sitting in VIP seats, but there are his fans present with us and it's not like everyone knows how his wife and daughter looks except for just the news spreading about us.

"Didn't I tell you to call him when we are here?" I asked her frowning, but she pouted before turning to stare at her Dad who is now on the big screen getting interviewed.

He didn't win this race, but he is at least third and that doesn't stop her from feeling excited to see him on the big screen.

She made such a big fuss and even made me take leave until after noon. I already have too much to do and she is not letting me finish all that.

Am I really complaining about my own daughter right now? I thought, smiling before pressing a kiss to her forehead while holding her properly before she can move closer again.

After he cancelled his retirement partly, I made sure to be present at every match with Eli but then from last year after he got his first win I tried to come whenever I was able to and not regularly.

"I still remember your reaction when you were third in one of the match before your retirement and there were speculations that you took that retirement because you were not able to bear the loss. Did you turn a new leaf to not be so emotional regarding the result after cancelling your retirement?" I raised my eyebrow hearing that question.

Not emotional? He loves to brag about every match near his daughter and she is his number one fan. The only thing is he just needs to be on the screen and she doesn't mind even if he is the last.

"I am still very emotional, but about my family." He replied before glancing at our side and found others realizing who we are.

I had a good sense to use caps to not get our faces completely clear and waited for him to finish the interview before we walked out of the place to meet him at the exit where Satish is already waiting for us.

"Uncle!" Eli shouted, running towards him and he immediately picked her up.

"Such happiness to see me. You are looking different than your mother every time I see you. You are very lucky that you are like your Dad." I rolled my eyes hearing that but kept quiet.

"She is beautiful like my wife." I smiled, feeling his arm around my waist, hugging me to his body while glaring at Satish.

"Really? Then what about the new model you worked with calling you everyday like ten times?" Satish commented back while I checked my time.

"Can we leave now? I need to go to work." I mumbled, taking Eli from him before getting into the car while David followed me.

"Palak! You know that's not true, right? I will never cheat on you." He mumbled, sitting beside me and I turned to smile at me.

"You dare to? I already know you, David. I really need to go to work." I explained and he nodded smiling.

"I will drop her home then and I have to go to work." He mumbled smiling at Eli, who is trying to go near her father and I immediately passed her.

"Is Jasmine having hard time to have too much work to do?" I asked, glancing at him remembering her tired look from yesterday.

"No! It's not like I left the company company and will always be there to help her. Just like how Bhai would have been." He replied, smiling at Eli and I glanced outside thinking about James.

He must be happy with everything that is going on, right? Jasmine is really working hard to take over from her brother, but David decided to stay there completely so that she can depend on him whenever she wants to.

David is happy with both company's work and his dream while Aunty is spending her time with her family with happy moments. She even joined a book club to talk about the books she likes to read after I showed her a blog.

Eli is keeping everyone one of us on our toes and we kind of decided to not plan for another pregnancy after consulting our doctor.

It's not like I can't but I will be put under some risk. I don't want to leave them and let sadness enter their lives again. I didn't want to take the risk knowing it and we are fine with everything.

My brother is still in the prison with no support from Dad to come out and he kind of stopped trying. David didn't stop keeping security for everyone of us and with his profession, it is kind of needed for that reason too.

I am also happy, James. I am really happy with the way life is going and wish you were with us, but there is a sense of relief that you were happy too.

"You know many reporters are trying to get information about Palak and Elisha. Are you planning to hide them all the time?" Satish asked when we reached the hospital.

"She needs to have her privacy and why do they need their information." David mumbled shaking his head.

"Well, many are speculating that you are actually not married and just lying about it with no proofs being present near anyone. Like wedding pictures or something." Satish explained and I turned to glance at David, who is completely ignoring those words while trying to kiss me goodbye.

"Satish! Can you step out for a second?" I asked, not even glancing at him, but he huffed following my words and I smiled placing my hand on his cheek.

"Let's get married, David." I whispered caressing his cheek while his eyes widened.

"Before you say if I am doing this for those news articles or something, then you know I don't care about any of them. It's just the right time before Eli starts her school and I will be having important schedules and even you have a difficult schedule ahead." I explained when he just stared at me.

"Are you serious?" he asked finally saying those words and pulled me into his arms when I nodded at his question before saying, 'Yes!' continuously.

*David Pov*

I smiled, finding the whole church packed with guests on both sides as we even called business associates from my side and all the colleagues from racing.

"Nervous? Do you want me to play my voice record? It must be somewhere in your phone or I can tell them too for you to practice." Satish whispered from my side.

"Ask Shruthi whether she is feeling nervous." I whispered and he immediately called her.

"She is arranging Elisha's dress it seems." He explained and I smiled.

"I am nervous about her feeling nervous. If she is not, then I will not feel it." I mumbled, feeling relieved, thinking Eli is helping her Mom from not thinking about anything else and keeping her busy.

"Seriously! You both are married for five years and today is actually your anniversary. You shouldn't feel nervous." He scolded, taking a turn after hearing my words.

Palak was really strict about this date. She doesn't want two different dates to celebrate our marriage anniversary. Because of that, we waited a few months before we conduct the ceremony.

I smiled, nodding at Uncle before glancing at Mom who is smiling back at me. While Jasmine is sitting with her crush who is supposed to be my fan but I always felt he was using me as an excuse to be closer to her.

I chuckled when Eli kept on pausing near everyone who were saying she looks cute while throwing petals at herself more than on the floor. Then found Palak standing near the door waiting for her to finish while shaking her head.

"Daddy!" she shouted when she saw me and rushed towards me finishing the task and Palak took steps to reach me while smiling at both of us as I had to hold Eli's hand.

"I will hold her." Mom mumbled, taking her and placing on her lap and I haven't even glanced at anyone else except my wife.

I smiled back holding her hand tightly when she reached my side, letting her know how my hands were shaking while thinking about how she must be feeling to do all this.

"You know me, David. I have decided long back to not leave you and you better do the same." She warned still smiling after understanding my thoughts and I just waited for the vows to finish and get our blessings so that I can hold her before everyone to show the person I vow to never let go and make sure she doesn't do the same.
