Laksh's POV:

"Laksh.... Son, do not let her eat outside food. I packed enough food for both of you. If she is even more hungry offer her your food and you can have anything like from a restaurant or a hotel." Neelima aunty instructed me as if I am a child.

Wow so much love for her nephew/son. I'm almost rolling on ground with happiness that she gave me the freedom... she allowed me to eat whatever I want outside. Which aunt can love their nephew so much ... (note the sarcasm)

Well, if you don't know let me tell you that I and my beautiful wife are going to the outskirts of the city where the tender for the metro project should be submitted by all the participating companies.

After a list of what to do and what not to do from aunty, we finally left from our home. After a while of driving, Neetu slowly lifted her legs and placed in my lap, turning towards my side. I almost pulled the sudden brake when she slowly slid her fingers on my arm.

Is she trying to create an accident here. Why is she, so suddenly behaving like this?

Weird...

Very weird...

There is uncertain, expecting glint in her eyes that made me think... Is she up to something?

We are driving from past one hour so I stopped the car near a dhaba (a roadside food stall) on the highway. These days Neetu is having the frequent urge to use washroom and cannot sit at a place for long time. So, I stopped at the dhaba to let her stretch her limbs, walk a little and use washroom if she wanted to.

But to my utter dismay she wanted to eat spicy food like allo parata, pani puri etc from dhaba. Oh... No Neetu please don't do this. She whined a lot to eat all those unhygienic food. If it is some other time, I would have allowed her to eat but now whatever she eats it effects our baby too.

Me: Neetu... Neelima aunty has already packed the food for us right!!! Please let's eat that. If you want anything else we'll get home and cook it at home itself.

Neetu: Please Laksh I want to eat it. It looks tasty and spicy. Your babies... urmm... baby want to eat. Please Laksh... Please baby... Please pretty please...

Me: No Neetu. No means no. You are not going to eat any road side food. You might be a doctor but still you are pregnant and you are, at any cost, not eating unhygienic roadside food. Am I clear?

Neetu: (with tears) But....

Me: Get inside the car Neetu.

Somehow seeing her tears clenched my heart painfully. But still she needs to take care of her health. Not long ago gynec (shekar uncle) has told the reason she faints frequently is because she have a weak pregnancy. After hearing that, all the family members got more attentive and strict about what she eats and are making sure she is stressed as less as possible.

I saw Neetu stood rooted to the place with a pout. After seeing that pout I just wanted to give whatever she want in this whole world.

But sorry my Neetu, not this time.

I picked her up in bridal style and deposited her in the passenger seat. I opened the food packed by aunt and handed over to her a plate full of food. She did not look at me but took the plate from my hands and started eating.

I started driving towards our destination again. I stole glances at my now sad wife. I wanted to make her smile again. I will definitely do something to bring back my smiling Neetu back.

Third Person POV:

Ankith Jaiswal, one of the contestants for metro project, halted at the same dhaba for some snacks. When he was about to order the food, he saw a girl who looked familiar. He saw the girl with tears where there's another man of probably his age is scolding her for god knows what reasons!

Ankith blood boiled at the sight he is seeing. There stood Neetu with tears in her eyes scolded by a man and witnessed the man carrying her back to the car. He was about to pounce on him for making ever smiling little girl cry. But his secretary stopped him.

Secretary: No sir it is not all wise to cross him. He is Laksh Banerjee, Banerjee's CEO. Anything in this city happens according to him. He is so influential. It is not a clever move to go against him or his family.

Ankith: But that girl___

Secretary: She is Dr. Pranita Laksh Banerjee, his wife. She's a cardiologist from Germany. It is told that she is an angle living on earth. She is so innocent and naïve.They were rumors that he bounded her into marriage by taking her signature in marriage certificate, without her noticing.

'Now I know why her husband is taking advantage on such innocent little girl' Ankith thought.

Wait she's a doctor?!?!?!

Wow... how?

Soon Laksh and Neetu reached the building where tenders are placed. Ankith also arrives there in time. All of them sits in the seats they are allotted. After few minutes Laksh asks Neetu to go to car and sleep inside the car for some time since the hall is not air conditioned. Neetu nods and sleeps in car for a while.

Watching all this from afar Ankith misunderstands Laksh as a dominant husband and thinks that he is torturing her. Ankith is sure that he is going to let Laksh pay for his doings!

Neetu's POV:

On the way back to home, when I saw the Dhaba again, this time, I almost pleaded Laksh to stop near the Dhaba but he didn't! He just said, "Roadside food is not good for the baby!"

Chat, Panipuri and Allo Parata, The most delicious food in the world slipped out of my hand just like that!

Meenu and Rishi told me that they raised themselves by eating roadside food. Then why not me and my babies? If Laksh continues behaving childishly like this, then I think I should take serious action on him!

Laksh suddenly stopped the car near a resort.

Me: What? Why are you stopping here? Do you think this 5-star hotel's 1000 buck food is good for the baby?

Laksh (sighs and gave me peck on my lips): My Panipuri! I understand that it is not you but your pregnancy hormones speaking now.

I booked Presidential suite for us here tonight and for tomorrow. So shall we stay here and cool your hormones tonight?

Wow!! First nightout with Laksh...Maybe we can swim together, have candle light dinner, dance and what not!

Like a good girl I nodded my head, we entered the beautiful resort. It's amazing, so cool and very much near to the forest too. Laksh told there is a waterfall nearby and we can go there if I want to.

The suite is awesome too. A bedroom, hall, kitchen and poolside with an open view to the forest etc...

When I checked my luggage, Laksh was just smirking because my adorable, loving sister packed all my showstopper above knee length dresses. Seriously! What is she thinking while packing all this lacy stuff?

I took a good one hour to shower and dress up and when I came out of the bedroom to hall...

I saw rose petals on the floor leading my way to the dining table.

Dinner is served.....It is Chat, Parata and Panipuri with spicy and sweet sauces and my husband's note too...

Homemade Baby...because these all are your husband's handmade. Fresh and Tasty! After dinner, come to me I will tell you something about myself... - Laksh

Yes, they are all mine because my Laksh made it for me!

After having quick and mouth watering dinner...I went to the hall, where the flowers lead me. On a table, I saw my tablets next to a glass of water. I swallowed tablets with water and pick the note Laksh left for me......

I gave you time....You gave me true love.

I gave you a kiss....You gave me your heart.

I gave you a flower...You gave me your love forever.

I gave you my love and you are giving me our angel!     -Laksh.

I can't stop blushing!

After reading the note I kept my hands on my tummy and whispered under my breath

"Dear Babies, sorry for the butterflies, it's not my fault! I swear it's your dad's"

The flower petals then lead me to a mirror on the way from hall to the swimming pool and a note was hanging there with a photo of me hugging Laksh next to it...

Facts about me:

My favourite place is in your arms when we hug and my ideal body weight is you on me. –Laksh

I can't wait anymore for him and I rushed to the poolside.

There I saw Laksh standing near the pool as handsome as ever. I ran towards him and hugged him tight.

Me: Thanks for the best meal in my life!

He lifted me in his arms and carried me bridal style to the baby pool and sat in the pool seat and made me sit on his lap my back on his chest...

I prayed that time stopped here, at this moment where we are both in each other's arms.

The whole night Laksh kept on romancing with me, kissed me everywhere, flirted with me, made me laugh, teased me and finally made me love.

And yet again I fell in love with the person I dearly call as my husband.

Laksh's POV:

Weird...

Strange...

What is going on with Neetu these days. It's been five days since we went to place the tender and she is behaving really weird. I don't know if it is because of pregnancy hormones or something else but she 's.....

Once, in these days, We are eating breakfast and she started drinking water like a kid spilling all over her and licking her lips to retrieve water from her lips.

Strange...

One day she sat with the gardener in the lawn for the whole day and talked about god knows what. Whenever I looked at them from our room balcony she looked at me as if expecting something from me.

Strange...

Once, she started talking nonsense with me. Like...

'Laksh you have a very cute pant zip' seriously?

'Laksh I love your cursive hand writing'

'Laksh, can you please be my sun and I'll be your moon?'

'Laksh, can you please eat this, seeing you eat fills my stomach'

Seriously... I think she hit her head somewhere. What is she doing? God knows what is going on with her.

Neetu's POV:

What do I do?

I tried to seduce Laksh in many ways but he doesn't get the hint at all...

I hate milk. So, I tried to do the Sia technique of foam on lips thing with water. I tried to lick water from my lips but Laksh saw me as if he is seeing animal planet .

Plan 1 fail

Then I planned to make Laksh jealous. Since I'm not allowed to go out alone I planned to make him jealous though the men I know. The watchmen and the Gardener. Since the gardener who is in 40's is younger than the watchmen in 50's, I talked to him the whole day watching Laksh working on his laptop in the balcony. He glanced at us talking and did not feel anything. Nothing at all.

Plan 2 fail

My next plan is to flirt with him and compliment him. I threw him few compliments but Laksh looked at me as if I've gone nuts.

Plan 3 fail

Now what do I do?

Third Person POV:

At tender office:

Tender is released and it's a surprise for Ankith as tender passing committee suggests that both Banerjee and Jaiswal group of companies should do the project on Joint venture basis as Banerjee group's manpower planning and Jaiswal Group's equipment are compatible. Laksh doesn't have a problem with it and Ankith too accepts the proposal.

Being a gentleman, Laksh comes near Ankith to congratulate him and Ankith gives him an arrogant look saying "Mr.Laksh Benerjee, speak with my manager if it's regarding work" denying to shake hand with Laksh and walk away from there. After this Laksh immediately calls his manager and tells him to enquire about Ankith Jaiswal!!

When Laksh reaches office:

Manager: Sir, Mr.Ankith Jaiswal is the one and only son of Mr.Anurag Jaiswal and Mrs.Rupa Jaiswal. Earlier Jaiswal's used to be in Textile Business but from Last 20 yrs they are well known in hotel Industries too. They have hotels, resorts in and around the world. They own some islands. Destiny group of hotels are well known for their hospitality.

Mr.Ankith Jaiswal is very well mannered in front of his father. He completed his studies in India as he doesn't want to go abroad leaving his parent's alone. He is university topper not only in academics but also in sports and extra cultural activities. From the last 5 years, he took an active role in his father's company. After joining his Dad's company he gave jobs to many of his college mates

Last year he received Best Entrepreneur award In New york Business meet. He loves to play Basketball. He is very Lazy except in business. He is optimistic and never accepts defeat and what else...he dislikes people who double crosses or who use shortcuts in life.

Laksh: OK Fine... we will do the deal with him...send the draft contract to his manager.

*********

Laksh and Ankith already signed the Joint venture and started their part of work accordingly...

Ankith invites Laksh to his office to introduce to his father

On the way:

It's a red signal....Laksh notices that a lady's sari is struck into her car's door just next to his car. Laksh immediately opens his car glass and knocks her car glass and signals her. She immediately rectifies it and thanks him by waving her hand to Laksh...

Laksh at Ankith's office:

Ankith takes Laksh to introduce to his father and mother, saying his mother comes to office to check on them.

"Hi!! I am Anurag Jaiswal and its pleasure to meet you, young man."

Laksh: The pleasure is mine sir

Laksh gives shake hand to him...and also notices the lady at the traffic jam there.

Laksh: Aunty!! I am searching for you

Rupa (smiles with confusion and then remembers her last encounter with laksh): I think I owe you " thanks...LAKSH".

Laksh: no...I owe you to return back your watch aunty. Actually, when you waved your hand to me your watch fell down so I picked it up to give you but you were already out of my sight...

Laksh gives the watch to Rupa.

Rupa: Thank you so much, Son!! This is your uncle's first-anniversary gift for me and it obviously means a lot for me.

Ankith (pouts): mom!! The credit goes to me! If I didn't call Laksh here how would he able to return your watch back to you.

Laksh: Simple... I have noted the car number and I would have returned it to her by tracing it and aunty if you don't mind I want to say something...

Rupa (smiles): Yes!! You can.

Laksh: I think I have already met you somewhere. Your smile seems so familiar to me...

Rupa smiles again and invites Laksh to have lunch with them and Laksh accepts their invitation.

While walking towards lunch hall...

Anurag whisper's in Laksh's ears" Thank you Laksh! Otherwise, your aunty might cry a lot and finally trade a diamond necklace with the watch"

Both Laksh and Anurag smiles, Ankith asks him what they are talking about and Anurag replies "Ankith!! This is something only a married man can understand"

Both Laksh and Anurag laugh again!

After having lunch and warm conversation with them...Laksh invites them for his wife Neetu's birthday party which is a week later.

Both Ankith's mom and dad scolds Ankith a lot for saying bad words for a good and adorable person like Laksh".
