"Ma'am, autograph pleaseeee," Came a cute voice out of the crowd.

It was the success party of Antara's book that touched the height of success internationally

Antara upped her eyelashes and moved them to see the owner of the voice.

She smiled seeing her five year old son, Ayansh Bajpai, he was dressed in the three piece royal blue suit. The miniature of his father Adit Bajpai.

"Aww, Ayansh my baby,," Antara kissed his temple and took his palm in her hands

"Mumma loves Ayansh," She wrote and drew a small heart along with it.

"Mumma, I miss Papa," Ayansh said, wrapping his arms around her shoulder.

Antara hugged him closely and whispered slowly," I miss him too" and blinked her eyes to stop her tears from flowing.

"The party is almost over, let's go home,"She said, holding the hand of Ayansh.

•••••••••••••

"Sleep Ayan, you have to attend the school tomorrow," Antara said, switching off the lights of his room.

"Ok Ma, good night, I love you."Ayansh said, kissing her cheeks.

Antara placed the blanket over him covering him and kissed his forehead.

Ayansh closed his eyes and Antara sat down beside him patting his head.

She came back to her room and laid down on the bed, sleep was miles away. She flipped on the bed, missing the warmth of her love, her Adit.

She looked at the big portrait, hanging on the front wall of the room.
It was the portrait of Adit, Antara and Ayansh. On Ayansh's first birthday.

As wished by her wife, Adit drew the portrait of three of them with his best of skills.

Antara stood up from the bed and opened the small metal box.

The box had the first ever novel they both read together. She touched the book and closed her eyes drifting into the flashback of their early dating period.

••••••••••Flashback••••••••••

"Antaraaaa," Adit called her, stretching her name while Antara looked at him with eyebrows drawn together.

"I am getting bored, look away from these boring books." He said, snatching the book away from her hands.

"Adit, give it back or I will surely fail this time."Antara tried taking the book from his hand.

Adit held her by her waist and filled her on the other side, while placing the book on the table.

The close proximity, sent a shiver down her spine. She closed her eyes as his minty breath mixed with hers.

Not feeling any touch she opened her eyes slowly only to find Adit smirking.

"You were expecting something, baby," He said huskily, making her heart flutter.

Antara pushed him away and kicked his foot muttering incoherent words.

"I brought this book yesterday, it's based on enemies to lovers, I hope to enjoy the book with you." Adit said, placing the book in front of her.

Antara passed with a full blown smile making Adit hug her.

"Also, we can enjoy the scenes written in them together," Adit said, teasing her.

Antara gave a light punch of his chest making him chuckle.

A year later, they were sitting inside on his balcony while finishing the second part of the same book.

Adit flipped the last page and his eyes noticed a red colour paper with a heart on it.

Antara looked at him in nervousness while Adit opened the paper.

"Everyone says, wait until you find the right one, some receive it early, some receive it late, and for me when I received it, it was a love born out of hate.
You secured a place in my heart and now I want you to claim it with the marriage.

Will you marry me Adit, and give both of us the cliche enemies to lovers ending, the exact ending we loved to read together?"

Adit looked at her, after reading the note that filled his heart with more love for his girl.

"Yes, I will, thanks for giving me such a cute proposal,I love you Antara," Adit said, kissing her temple.

They never did much showoff things for each other but their little efforts were directly from the heart and was filled with love, pure love.

•••••••••• Flashback ended••••••••••

Antara's trance of thoughts came to halt when she felt two familiar arms wrapping around her waist.

"Adit," She whispered his name, making him turn her around.

Her eyes met with her ones, she immediately hugged tightly without a second thought. After a long one month she felt like home, her home.

"I missed you, Adit." Antara said, making him smile broadly.

Adit cupped her face in his palms and placed a long kiss on her forehead.

"I am here love," He said, closing his eyes.

He placed his lips on hers kissing her slowly, they both finally felt like their heart was placed back to their owners.

Adit went on a business trip in London, his company was gaining more and more success.
A month was a total torture for the couple and their little bundle of joy, Ayansh.

"Come on, it's 11:50. We need to wish my boy on his birthday," Adit said, holding her hand as they walked to Ayansh's room.

"Wait, we don't have a cake," Antara whispered to him while standing outside the room.

"You think I am an idiot," Adit said, picking the box from the table.

"No doubt, you are an Idiot, but you are gaining some sense after having me in your life," Antara winked at him.

"This girl can't live a moment without taking the credit for my good works," Adit said, rolling his eyes.

One thing that never changed between them was the way they taunted eachother, as if they were incomplete without their silly talks.

Antara giggled listening to him, how much she missed his talks, even she used to connect him through video call, but having him close to her made her happy beyond imagination.

They opened the door and switched on the light. Ayansh was sleeping, cuddling to the big teddy bear.

They both smiled looking at him and Adit walked ahead and removed the teddy bear slowly. The clock ticked marking the start of a new day.

"Happy Birthday, Ayansh," They both said together, making Ayansh blink his eyes as his parents hugged him.

"Papa, mumma," He said, rubbing his eyes and opening them slowly.

He saw Adit sitting beside him and hugged him tightly. Adit hugged him back while Ayansh wrapped himself around his Father.

"I missy missy you papa," Ayansh said, kissing Adit's cheeks.

"Aww, my Ayan, Papa missy missy you too."Adit said, caressing his head.

Antara looked at the father-son duo and smiled lovingly.

They were completed, everything felt at its place and their happiness knew no bounds.

There were times when one of both messed up badly but the other one never left the bond they made together.

They were each other's peace and love, and Ayansh was the heart of their life.

"Come, Ayan, let's cut the cake, see papa brought chocolate cake," Antara said, placing the cake.

"My favourite." Ayan said, flashing his dimpled smile.

They cut the cake and took selfies together.

Antara tugged Ayansh in bed while Adit came after changing into his nightwear.

They both lied down on the bed keeping Ayansh in between and entwined their fingers together and kept it above Ayansh.

"Antara," Adit called her slowly and she looked at him.

"I feel that I never hated you actually. As, My heart who once loved to irritate you, is now finding solace in your beautiful arms, called my home and trust me, that's all I wished for," Adit said and kissed their entwined hands.

"Never knew that the guy I once tried hating is now the most precious person in my life,also gave me such a beautiful family," Antara said and kissed his forehead along with Ayansh.

"Sleep na, Mumma Papa," Came Ayansh's sleepy voice, making them chuckle.

They never knew that they would fall for each other but here they are. Their love started the way they never expected, grew on the paths they discovered together.
