Swara's POV-

The next day, I was woken up by mumma. Somehow she already knew that I was going to go to office today.

" Shona, now you freshen up quickly and I'll serve breakfast. Your grandpa and I also have to leave for the NGO soon." She said and I got up from the bed.

Luckily for me, all the pain was gone. My ankle was just as new.

" Mumma.....what do I wear? I am bored of all those formal clothes." I whined.

" This girl....you go and freshen up, I'll get your clothes out." She said.

" Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I hugged her tightly and hopped inside the restroom.

I was done in about half an hour and as I walked back in my room, I saw a beautiful white kurti with green prints with white pants and white dupatta. I wish I had her choice in clothing but god was not so gracious upon me with fashion sense.

As I got dressed and walked down to the dining table, all of us sat to have breakfast together and sharp at 9, the doorbell rang.

Swara's Look-

I just rolled my eyes knowing who it was.

Mumma opened the door and welcomed him in.

" Swara, beta go or else both of you will be late." Papa said and I nodded.

I took my bag and walked out with him.

" On time I see, Swara." He directly taunted, taking into consideration our last night's conversation.

" Please Aditya, I was on time not because I am afraid of you or something. It's just that I wanted to be on time on my first day so don't give yourself too much credit." I mocked him.

" That's no way to talk to your CEO, Mrs. Kapoor." He said, opening the door of the car for me and I slipped in.

" You will be my CEO in that office building. Right now, I can say whatever I want. I mean, I can say whatever I want, whenever I want but I will try to listen to the instructions given by the CEO with much resistance. It's work after all." I said as he sat right next to me while the driver started for the office.

It was a forty five minute drive in the Mumbai traffic. That's probably why he insisted on starting early.

As I walked inside the building, all those memories from that night started flooding in. That creepy look Kritika passed to me still was very fresh in my memories. The same corridor, still, I managed to walk past through it but as soon as I saw his cabin and that corner spot, I just shut my eyes. This was the exact same place I was standing six years back when I did that idiocy.

He was already near his office table when he turned and looked towards me. I was still standing at the door.

" Swara?" He called my name, grabbing my attention.

" Yes?" I asked, a little blank and then I guess he realized why my behaviour had suddenly changed.

" Fuck." He muttered and walked to me.

" Swara, look at me, I know what you're thinking and if you want, I'll just move my cabin to somewhere else. Just don't be like this." He said, pulling my body into his, hugging me which did provide me with lot's of comfort.

" No....no Aditya. It's alright. I am just acting the way I am because I was not exactly prepared for this. I am perfectly fine. I promise. I know that you did not cheat on me that day and will never do it ever. I have nothing to be afraid about. I am good." I assured him and it was the truth.

Yes, seeing this place after years did resurface some bad memories but it was just momentary. The moment he hugged me, all the bad thoughts and vibes were out as soon as they had creeped in.

" I am taking your word for this right now but if you ever feel uncomfortable, you will come and talk to me about it right?" He though did pose it as a question, but it was a clear order.

" Yes sir." I replied, chuckling.

Then he made me sit on the couch for a while and offered me a glass of water which I happily gulped.

" Okay, we have a vacancy in marketing and PR departments. Since you are a major in PR, you'll be placed there." He acknowledged me and I nodded.

" That way, you'll always be close to me because PR is the department I work daily with." He muttered, huskily in my ears, first giving me goosebumps and then, leaving me all red and warm.

" Mr. Kapoor, I don't think it is appropriate for you to flirt with your employee. So you please show me my department. Some of us here have actual work to do than just acting as a jerky CEO." I made fun of him despite him making me speechless for a moment but I will not let him win!

" You can be fired for talking to your boss this way Mrs. Kapoor. I hope you know that." He replied, in the same stupid professional tone.

" We will see about that. Now take me to where I have to work!" I exclaimed and he nodded as we stood up. I was about to grab my bag when he pulled me by my waist towards him and his lips were just merely inches away from mine.

Mine quivered because of how close I was to him. My whole existance was not accustomed to being so close to him or anybody ever.

" A.....Aditya...." I stammered.

" Shhh." He said as he kissed me dangerously near my lips and then slided all my open hair on my right shoulder, leaving kisses on my neck. Had he not had a hold at my waist, I would have fallen down. He made me so weak in my knees.

Coming back to my senses, I slightly pushed him, glaring.

" This is your office for god's sake!" I exclaimed.

" And you are my wife for god's sake." He mimicked my tone as I finally took my bag.

" Now you are going to show me my workplace right now and stay one arm distance away from me." I said, sternly.

" And what makes you think that I am going to listen to what you say? Love, it's going to be the other way round." He replied as he pulled me back to him.

But before he could actually do anything, there was a knock on his cabin.

He gave a frustrated groan while I giggled, stepping away again.

He gave me a look which clearly indicated that this is not over and I rolled my eyes.

" Come in." He said and a man entered.

" Sir, your 10:30 AM appointment has arrived. Do I send them?" He asked.

" Yes, get them in and then show the PR department to my wife here." He instructed and for a second, a split second, his PA's eyes widenened before going back to normal. I stiffed a chuckle. Were all of them afraid of Aditya?

" It'll be done sir." He said and walked away.

" I'll see you in the evening then." He said, pecking my forehead.

" Yes sir!" I chuckled, placed a little peck on his right cheek and flew out of his office before he could say or do anything.

His PA showed me the department and then were sneakily introduced me as Swara Aditya Kapoor. I am sure with whose instructions he did that but instead of minding it, I was smiling.

The people around the department were very friendly, mainly because I was the CEO's wife and everyone respected papa a lot.

I was assigned a cubicle and some work which to be honest was as simple as a cake walk.

Lunch was a canteen affair and I went there with Rishika, Gauri and Puneet, all from my department.

Bonding a little and then returned back to work. The PR department was on the 19th floor whereas Aditya's office was on 20th. Now I know what he meant by working closely with the department.

It was six in the evening when my phone went off. It was Tanya.

" Heyy." I said picking up.

" Swara....I am going for wedding shopping in a while with my mom, Aryan's mom and Aryan. Please come?" She asked.

" Oh great! But are you sure you want me there? I mean, you guys will be comfortable na?" I asked her.

" Swara, are you insane! You and Aryan are best friends. It will mean so much to him and to me if you are there." She scolded me.

" Okay then, send me the address, I'll be there soon." I said and then hung up.

Okay, this will be fun. Anyways, I am done with my work for today so I don't think that anyone will object as I was right. I took the department head's permission and she said yes.

Then I went to inform Aditya about the same.

" Ronak, can you please inform sir that I wish to meet him?" I asked his PA. I picked his name from the front desk.

" You can walk in whenever you want ma'am." He said.

" Call me Swara." I corrected him and he nodded.

Then I walked in his cabin. As I did, he looked up at me from the laptop.

" Aditya, I am joining office now but I will have to leave early for like the next two months." I spoke to him because it was true.

" And why is that?" He asked, leaning back in his chair. The coat from morning was off and hanging behind his chair and his sleeves were folded, his muscles popping out.

Focus Swara, FOCUS!

" It's Aryan and Tanya's wedding in two weeks. I need to help them and then our......" I spoke up but I just couldn't utter 'our wedding'. Ugghh! What is wrong with me.

And to top it all, I just started blushing like a mad person.

" What? What were you about to say?" He asked, getting up from his chair as he walked towards me. He knew what I was about to say but instead mocked me. With each step he took near me, I took one back till the time I managed to trap myself between his arms and the wall.

" Nothing." I said, trying to cover myself with a layer of confidence.

" Wedding." He completed for me.

" If you knew, why did you ask?" I taunted sarcastically.

" Just to see my favorite color on your cheeks again." He said, nibbing on my earlobe, leaving me all hot and heavy.

" Why....why are you....doing this?" I asked, stiffening a moan.

" Because I can." He replied, still not stopping.

" I am getting late." I finally made him stop.

It's not like I feel uncomfortable with him, but I was really getting late.

" Where do you have to go?" He asked, giving me a little space while I told him the address.

" I'll drop you there. My work is done for the day." He offered and I'd be a fool to reject it.

" Thank you. I'll meet you in the parking." I said.

It looked like he wanted to argue but instead pulled his lips in a thin line and nodded.

Walking out, I thanked god for him understanding my point that I mentioned last night and he respected that.

Grabbing my bag, I walked to the parking where driver dada was waiting. I sat in the car and two minutes later, he too sat in.

There was a comfortable silence as the streets passed by but suddenly I remembered how horrible sister in law I am.

" Aditya, where are Karan and Preeti? I have not seen them right from when we returned. How horrible am I?" I exclaimed.

" Oh god Swara, drama is still there in you. Preeti was missing her parents so she went to live with them for a week and Karan has gone to Chicago for some work. He will be back tomorrow." He clarified my queries.

" Ohhh....okay. I'll come home to meet him tomorrow." I said and he nodded.

" Sir, we have reached to the shop." Driver kaka said.

" Thank you kaka. Bye Aditya." I said.

" Swara, I'll send an car for you to drop you home in sometime." He said.

" No, no. Don't worry about it. I don't think Aryan's mom will let me go home before having dinner with them and then Aryan will drop me. " I told him honestly.

" Okay Swara, but what is the harm in me sending a car for you?" He asked.

" Relax na baba.....Aryan will drop me. Anyways, he will insist. I know so why the car and if there is any problem, I promise that I will call you. Now you go home and relax and let me help Tanya to shop. Bye!" I muttered and was about to get out of the car when he stopped me, holding my wrist.

He leaned in and kissed the side of my forehead, I did the same, on his cheek.

" Bye." He said as I smiled and then stepped out and went to the store.

The moment I spotted all of them, Aryan's mother came to me and gave me a very disappointed look.

" Swara, who does what you did?" She scolded me.

" I am sorry aunty. I really am, I missed you so much!" I exclaimed and hugged her.

" Never do that again ever." She patted my back as she took me in her embrace.

She was a very motherly figure to me. I loved her kheer.

Then, as everybody started to shop, Aryan and I passed each other looks. We were even sitting next to each other as Tanya and both the aunties were busy selecting sarees.

" You.....you asked Tanya to invite me, didn't you?" I asked to Aryan, narrowing my eyes at him.

Because the looks he was giving me, they clearly stated 'thank god she is here!'

" Nope." He denied. I gave him an even more stern look.

" Fine....yes, I put that idea in her head because I didn't wanted to get bored alone." He confessed, whispering to me.

" I knew it, I so knew it." I slightly slammed his head as he grinned.

" You can tell me how grateful you are that I am here with you." I said, chucking.

" I will do no such thing." He replied, outraged.

" Okay, okay. Don't say that but I still know that it is how you exactly feel." I muttered as he hit my arm a little, making me laugh.

Stupid him.
