Life of Ilakiya : Chapter 13 : The Momentous Night

Anbu and Ilakiya arrived at the luxurious First World hotel, and Anbu immediately went to book two separate rooms for the night stay. As he was about to finalize the booking, Ilakiya came up to him and asked, "Why waste the money on two rooms when we could share the same room? It'll be more cost-effective and we'll get to spend more time together."

Anbu was initially hesitant. But he realized that if she was open to the idea of staying in the same room, he didn't mind. He turned to Ilakiya and said, "Are you sure you're comfortable with that? I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

Ilakiya jokingly replied, "If we behave well, there's nothing to worry about. Just don't have any naughty ideas."

Anbu jokingly replied with a smile, "I'll try my best, but with a beautiful princess around, it will be a very hard task." Ilakiya's face turned red as she became shy.

They checked in and made their way to their room. Ilakiya couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the spacious and elegant room. Anbu had splurged and got them a room with a balcony overlooking the theme park. The room was decorated with warm colors and had a comfortable king-sized bed in the middle. Ilakiya couldn't help but feel excited to spend the night there.

As they settled in, Anbu walked up behind Ilakiya, wrapping his arms around her waist. He looked at her through the vanity mirror and said, "I'm glad you're comfortable with this. I want to make sure you're happy and have a good time." Ilakiya smiled and leaned into his embrace, feeling safe and secure in his arms.

"I am, thank you. This room is amazing, and I'm looking forward to spending the night here with you," said Ilakiya.

They spent the evening exploring the hotel and enjoying the amenities it had to offer. They had dinner at the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, and then went to the rooftop bar to enjoy the view of the KL city from the mountain at night.

As they returned to their room, Ilakiya turned to Anbu and said, "Thank you for arranging this holiday, it's been a wonderful day and I want this moment with you to last forever."

Anbu smiled, "I'm glad you're enjoying it. I want to make sure you have the best time possible."

As Ilakiya and Anbu were getting ready to go to bed, Ilakiya's phone vibrated with a message. She quickly checked it and her expression changed. Anbu noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ilakiya hesitated for a moment before responding with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing. Just a message from mom." She quickly typed out a reply and winked at Anbu, trying to reassure him.

But before she could put her phone down, it vibrated again with more messages. Ilakiya's expression grew concerned as she read through them. She quickly replied to each one and then put her phone on block mode to divert away incoming calls.

Anbu was already bothered by the ring on her finger earlier, and now these back to back alerts too. He tried not to show his concern and casually said, "That ring on your finger is nice. Where did you get it?"

Ilakiya smiled and explained where she got it from, trying to change the subject and ease the tension in the air.

"Oh, it's just a ring my mother gave me. I wear it when I miss her."

Anbu smiled, "I see. It's a beautiful ring."

"What about the one I gave you?" asked Anbu, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Ilakiya hesitated for a moment before responding, "Don't worry, dear. I have it safe with me," while kissing him on the forehead. She couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth, that she was already engaged to someone else.

Anbu could sense something was off, but didn't want to push the topic. He cared about Ilakiya deeply and didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

Ilakiya felt guilty for not being honest with Anbu from the start. She knew it would be difficult to tell him the truth, but she felt it was the right thing to do. She made a mental note to talk to him soon about her engagement and the future of their relationship.

For now, Ilakiya just wanted to snuggle with Anbu and enjoy this night together. She pushed her worries and guilt aside, wanting to make the most of their time together. With all the problems she had, this was the least she could do. She knew that anything could happen tomorrow, but for tonight she wanted to just be with Anbu and make happy memories.

As they got under the blanket and hugged each other, Ilakiya felt content. She knew that she would cherish this moment for the rest of her life. They fell asleep together, holding each other close.
