The Billionaire's Second Chance Chapter 83
Throughout the day, Shanaya and Dhruv engaged in casual conversation, sharing mundane details of their lives. However, amidst their discussions, the topic of Dhruv's birthday remained untouched. Shanaya intentionally avoided any mention of it, wanting to keep the element of surprise intact. She couldn't help but wonder if Dhruv had noticed her silence and if it had caused him to feel a tinge of sadness, thinking she had forgotten his special day. As the hours ticked by, Shanaya's anticipation grew. She meticulously planned every aspect of the surprise, from the decorations to the menu, wanting to create an unforgettable experience for Dhruv. Although a pang of disappointment washed over her when Dhruv revealed an urgent matter that demanded his immediate attention, forcing him to be occupied for the evening, she quickly reminded herself to view it as an opportunity rather than a setback. This unexpected turn of events allowed her more time to perfect her surprise and execute her gra

Shanaya felt a knot of dread tighten in her stomach as she observed Dhruv taking a deliberate bite of the cake slice he had just cut. Time seemed to slow down as he savored the morsel, maintaining an inscrutable expression on his face. The anticipation weighed heavily on Shanaya, who anxiously awaited his verdict. With bated breath, she finally mustered the courage to ask, "Well? How was it?" Dhruv's initial response was unexpected—an abrupt cough that caught Shanaya off guard. Concern immediately washed over her, and she hurriedly moved closer to him, gently patting his back in an attempt to provide some relief. But to her surprise, his cough transformed into a hearty belly laugh that reverberated through the room. "You were right," Dhruv managed to say between fits of laughter. "You should never bake again." “What the fuck, Dhruv!” Shanaya's eyes widened, a mixture of mock offense and genuine amusement playing on her face. She couldn't help but join in the laughter, her tense sho

For a moment all Shanaya could hear and feel was a strange buzzing in her ears and the palpable beating of her heart. She was almost sure she was about to faint. Dhruv's eyes fluttered to her from where he kneeled on the floor. She felt her throat tighten with every passing moment.What was he trying to do?“You have to say yes, Shan,” he repeated, looking at her with hopeful eyes. She shook her head adamantly. “Dhruv? No!”Was he about to pull out a ring and propose to her? All of a sudden? There was no way she knew how to react to something like that. She liked him. She might even love him back. But the proposal was too much and too soon.His hands reached out and held hers and he replied, his voice soft and true, “I want to travel the world with you. Let me take you somewhere.”Shanaya exhaled, her thoughts a mix of disappointment and surprise. She allowed him to continue. His voice reflected vulnerability, and she sensed a little pleading in it. “I just fixed a huge fucking bus

Dhruv relished the sensation of the cool sand beneath his feet as he strolled along the beach with Shanaya. The dark sky spread above them, adorned with a multitude of sparkling stars. Time seemed inconsequential in that moment, as he focused solely on the company of the woman he held dear. He didn't need to glance at his watch to know the hour; it simply didn't matter. If Shanaya wished to wander along the shoreline all night, he would gladly join her, embracing every precious moment by her side, with only the rhythmic crashing of the waves accompanying their footsteps. Shanaya wore a stunning red dress adorned with delicate white daisies, and he couldn't help but admire the way it flowed behind her, gently swaying in the wind. Every so often, he observed her graceful form bend down to collect a seashell, entrusting them to his care. With a tender smile, Dhruv tucked each treasure into the pockets of his jeans, cherishing the small mementos of their evening. Out of the blue, she pos

[DHRUV] “Why did you leave? Tell me, Dhruv!” Dhruv did not understand how the night had taken this sudden turn. He soon realized that Shanaya had been suppressing her emotions. They had never truly confronted each other about what had happened all those years ago. Maybe now was the perfect time. He saw the pain in her eyes. He wanted to wrap his arms around her so she would not cry but when he leaned forward, she smacked his chest. “No. Don’t do that, Dhruv,” Shanaya warned him through trembling lips. “I cried myself to sleep every night. There was so much going on. And I wanted you to be there. You weren’t.” Dhruv felt a pang in his chest as memories flashed through his mind. He remembered calling her a hundred times. But she had not received any of his calls. He recalled how he had stood outside her house, but she had declined to meet him. He had not turned his back, not until he believed she wanted nothing from him. She sobbed and when she finally continued, her voice was str

*Three days before the wedding* “Rekha, are you sure nothing’s on the stove?” Shanaya asked as she paced around her apartment in search of her car keys. “Yes. I’m almost done with the dishes,” her maid called out from the kitchen. “Okay,” she replied and then whispered to herself, “What if Dhruv has the keys?” For a moment she panicked, recalling their escapade the previous night which had ended with Dhruv driving her back home in her car. Kirti had decided to stop by to make some final last-minute decisions about the sequence of events and decoration placements — which had ended up being convenient for Dhruv as he had managed to get a lift home in her car. It had taken time but Dhruv’s sister had finally adjusted to the idea of them being together. She now openly teased them and sometimes Neil would join in too — only to go quiet immediately on receiving a death glare from Dhruv. A sigh of relief left her lips when she finally found the keys jutting out of the corner of her

Raunak noticed her at the same moment and he mumbled something to Harish who gave him a curt nod before taking a seat beside Suhala. Then he walked straight towards Shanaya. Neil stepped forward before she could say anything and placed a hand on Raunak’s shoulder. “Thanks for coming so soon, man. We all got worried,” he said to him. Raunak assured him, “There’s nothing to worry about.” Neil sighed before glancing at Shanaya. She understood what that look meant. As Shanaya and Raunak began walking towards the door, she asked him, barely keeping the surprise from her voice, “How am I just finding out you’re a doctor?” Raunak just shrugged at her question, his lips set into a straight line. “Did Neil know? Anyone else?” “I didn’t tell you because your grandmother didn’t want anyone to find out,” he revealed causing her eyebrows to furrow in confusion. She shook her head. “I don’t understand why she’d do that.” “Maybe she didn’t want to worry you,” he offered and halted. Shanaya r

When Shanaya reached the Sangeet venue — which was again the same place where three months ago, the engagement ceremony was held — she avoided going anywhere close to Dhruv at all costs. She would find herself drawn to wherever he stood, her eyes often staring at him as he laughed during a conversation but she reminded herself of how important it was to stay away. A few days ago, he had introduced her to Anjali and she had realized how different the actress was from what she had expected her to be. Anjali was down to earth and kind, knowing when to say exactly what. She reminded Shanaya of Noor, but while Kabir’s wife was more on the shy side, Anjali exuded confidence with every breath she took. Shanaya spent her time walking around, greeting people she knew, and making sure she didn’t bump into either Raghav or Anvita Kapoor. Anjali engaged her in a new conversation — focusing on Kirti’s new design release that was going to happen in some weeks. Shanaya could only listen half-hear
