...Preet...

The next day I woke up and got dressed. Once ready I walked in the kitchen and got the breakfast ready, setting the table up made my way to Kabir's room. This time I luckily knocked the door and entered once I heard a come in.
Once in the room I watched the man in grey trying to form his tie.
Irritated he left that on the bed.

"Yeah?" He questioned once he noticed me.

"The breakfast is ready." He nodded and walked out with me behind him.
After the breakfast he got his laptop bag and was leaving when I called him.
He halted and looked at me.
Smiling I walked upto him and stood on my tip toes. I then surrounded his neck with his selected tie and did the knot and then settled the collars back.
Smacking his shoulders I wished him all the best and he gave me a faint smile.

Once he was gone I worked up for my pending cases and sent a quick text to Kabir letting him know he has to be home by 7 for his exercise, after that I left for my college to submit my assignment.

In the evening I rushed back home since I was late, Kabir still wasn't back home.
While waiting for him I prepared the dinner and waited further in my living room watching television at around 11, I heard the door opening and then Mr. Malhotra walks in shakingly, one look at him and I knew he was drunk.

"Kabir." I called out when I saw him struggling to stand up on his feet. I ran to hold him but he slipped on the floor with the support of the wall. I knelt down to come upto his level.

"What's wrong Kabir?" I questioned cupping his face so that he could face me.

"Do you also think I am useless Preet?" He questioned almost crying.

"What? No!" I exclaimed.

"You know what Preet. Leave me, go away. Don't waste your time on me. I am not worth it." He cried.

I instantly hugged him as tears streamed down both our eyes.

Once he was calm I asked him again what happened and since he was drunk he recited the whole event to me how some of his employees passed comments about him being handicapped and expressing how the company had a dull future ahead, how they commented about him lacking in his personal life because of the accident.

I knew he was hurt, I knew he was broken and I knew his tears held more memories than told but I also knew we will fight these this time, together we will.
Kabir soon passed out on the corridor while I was busy thinking. Smiling I laid my head on his shoulder and I have no idea when I passed out.

....Kabir...

I opened my eyes with great difficulty and a pounding headache and looked around when I saw Preet sleeping on my right shoulder. Once again the events from last event crossed my mind and I smiled. I slowly shifted to get better access to Preet. She slept peacefully with a content smile on her face, her bangs falling on her face making her look all the more beautiful.
I slowly moved the tresses behind her hair and smiled.
How did I get so lucky I thought once I realized how slowly she was being a part of my life, a part of me. Every part of me wanted to tell her how I love her but the circumstances demanded opposite, I felt her moving so closing my eyes I faked sleep.

...Preet ..

I Opened my eyes and took in the surroundings, I smiled once I saw Kabir sleeping peacefully, I swiftly got up and walked to my room I knew today was difficult but I knew I will do this.
I quickly completed my morning routine and got dressed in an Indian wear.leaving my hair open,
I applied a bit of vermilion on my forehead which marked me being married.
Then quickly I walked in the kitchen and made Kabir's black coffee.
I was about to wake him up but the evil side of me surfaced and so I kept the mug on the floor and dipped Kabir's fingers in the cup.
He got up instantly flinching and pulled his hand back and gave me an irritated look which I just laughed it off.
Later I asked him to get ready and informed him that I am dropping him to office today. I did not bring yesterday up again. When he walked out of the room dressed and with a tie in his hand I smirked and took the tie from his hand and did the knot for him.

Later I drove him to his office once he walked in his building I parked the car nd went behind him.
As expected there were comments made once again. These people are so gone.

I moved my vision around and saw Kabir standing in the middle alone. I walked up to him and intertwined his hands with mine.
He quickly turned around and there was a change in his manoeuvre.

"Okay, so are you guys done or there is more falling?" I shout questioned and killing all the surfacing rumors.

"For fucks sake he is your boss, if you are bloody standing here and questioning his capabilities then it is only because of him. He can just throw all of you out, he should I did tell him but suddenly his humanity surfaced and I promise if the old Kabir Malhotra comes back he won't even take a minute to show you your audacity. So all of you better know what you speak and do."

And then we welcomed silence.
Suddenly we heard someone clapping, turning around I saw Varun standing there with his girlfriend Ashlyn.
I being the dramatic person I am did a bow down and heard some laughs.

I then walked up to them and hugged them. I was more in my world when I heard someone say.
"And who does she think she is?" I was about to comment on that when I heard Kabir's voice breaking the silence.
"She is the wife of your Boss."
I turned around and found a new confidence on his face and a heart warming smile.
I returned the same smile and then we walked in Kabir's cabin where I and Kabir were working in his hands exercise and Varun and Ashlyn informed us about their wedding. We all had our lunch together and then Varun and Ashlyn left.
An hour or something later even I was leaving when I felt a tug, I turned around and then I was engulfed in a bear hug. "Thank you shortcake." He murmured and kissed the crown of my head and I smiled against his broad shoulders.
