Chapter 21
*Usha Pov*
"Hey! I just reached the café. Where are you?" I asked him when he lifted his phone.
"Behind you!" he whispered, and I turned towards him.
We both hugged each other and then sat down ordering some coffee. While drinking we talked what happened today morning.
"They kind of asked me to prepare the breakfast when I was reading the paper. I huffed and started saying I don't even have one minute of my life to do something I only wish. As usual, they went inside the study and started saying great things about our Mom's. What about you?" I explained him and asked him.
"I kind of asked them to prepare breakfast so early in the morning you know when they just woke up. When I get to know that they still didn't prepare I said no one knows what to do at which time. So they too started saying great things about their husbands." He replied chuckling.
"I think in a few days they will meet up. And we will not get time to meet like this again. Every day I can't leave the house so early saying I have an important work right." I said finishing my coffee.
"Yeah! But don't you think this may be out of the limit?" He asked after a few minutes.
"I don't know! We are trying our best, and if they become normal, then it's ok. But if they not, then they can do as they wish, and I am not even going to stop them." I replied.
"Hmm... well, let's get going. We both are getting late." He said, and we both walked towards our own working place.
"Usha! I hope you will not take another leave this week because we have a very important meeting ahead of us. We have so much work to do, but of course within office hours." Mr.Raj said smiling when I entered his cabin.
"Sure, sir!" I said, smiling back and started noting down about the meeting.
We both heard a knock on his door and when he said 'come in' Pallavi entered with a small bouquet.
Did Abhay send another one or something? I thought, but it is not when I saw her placing it towards Mr.Raj.
"Again?" he asked her.
"Again, sir." She replied and left the cabin.
He sighed and looked at the bouquet in front of him. I couldn't stop myself and asked, "From whom is that sir?"
"I too don't know, Usha. I got one yesterday and another one now." He replied and picked the card.
"What it is written there?" I asked him excited.
"I hope you have a nice day, Yours N." he replied.
"Seems like a secret admirer to me." I said grinning.
"Let's talk about the meeting shall we." He said sternly, but I can see that he is glad about this.
Looks like someone is out there for Mr.Perfect as well! I thought, but then concentrated on noting the important points for the meeting.
In the evening, I left little early so that I can think of some other plan but when I reached there I got another surprise. I saw Mom's car, so I tip toed towards the windows in the living room through the lawn and opened them silently.
I gave a call to Abhay and told him to reach his house but ASAP. And to park his car little away from the house.
I peeked in and saw that they four are sitting quietly in the living room. Well, only half of this is a surprise as his parents are always this calm.
After few minutes Abhay reached, and I gestured for him come here. He walked near me and peeked inside too like me.
"Now from the events we all talked, I believe that there are so many problems between them than they are saying. That means they want to save this marriage, but is just hurt by each other. So we need not to worry about them wanting a divorce or something." Dad said, and I looked at him amazed.
"You are right!" Mom said, and that is new.
"I am always right." He said proudly.
"Don't say lies like that Mr.Mehta. I just said you are right in this matter." Mom said, and I sighed.
There you go, they just started again. Don't they get tired or something?
"Don't talk to me like. Just because we got to the point that our kids will not take divorce doesn't mean that I can't give you one." Dad said glaring at her.
"Did you see that Mrs.Sharma? See how he is talking about that like it is so easy doing it." Mom said looking at Aunty.
When did these both become best friends? I thought, and Abhay mumbled the same beside me.
"Well, if anyone wants that they can have that." Aunty replied making Abhay and me gasp.
"Yeah! If we want we can just do that." Uncle said, and I face palmed myself.
We both moved away and looked at the scene in front of us with wide eyes. Finally, Mom and Aunty got up and left the house.
"My parents never talked about it before, but now they are doing it openly." Abhay mumbled.
"Yeah! But don't worry at least they are talking, and I have another idea, which will be the final step." I said, and he nodded.
"What is the plan?" He asked, looking at me.
"For now just continue what you are doing, and I will do the same thing. They need to get vexed with us." I replied.
He left the house, and I entered like I don't know anything. Then for the next one week we did the same along with handling our own project meeting preparations.
We couldn't meet each other this whole week at all. We talked to each other on the phone, but that's very little.
Finally, the meeting day arrived. I am very excited mainly because I get to see him, and we can spend some time together at least at the meeting.
"We will do fine, Usha. Don't be nervous like that." Mr.Raj said when we entered the meeting room.
Nervous? I am not nervous at all Mr.Raj. I am just excited! I thought, but didn't say anything to him.
I waited patiently for Abhay and finally he reached the room along with Shruthi late as usual. I don't know why he gets late like that every time.
To my left sat the lady who actually told me about his girlfriends and Shruthi at my first meeting.
"Looks like they did it again." She mumbled to me.
"What?" I asked her confused.
"Don't you know why he comes late to meetings every time? They both just make out before coming to the meeting." She replied, making me glare at her.
How dare she says something like that about my husband? I thought and still glared at her.
"You don't believe me?" She asked, seeing my glare.
"He is married right, so I don't think that is true." I replied calmly.
"Married? I think you mistook him for some other. He is not married, and he is a still eligible bachelor." She said, shaking her head and turned away.
She knows all these lies, but not the main truth? That's surprising completely.
I looked in front of me and saw that Abhay is looking at me frowning. He signaled like 'What happened?'. I shook my head and then saw that Shruthi is smiling at me nodding her head.
I nodded back and concentrated on the presentations. After the third company, Shruthi gave her presentation along with Abhay. As this is the main one and important one, we need to do along with our boss.
Mr.Raj and I too gave one. He smiled at me whenever it was my turn to say my next presentation part, and I smiled at him when it is his part. We just kept that as our code language because we know there will be confusion many times.
And because of this simple idea, we actually got the project as there were no breaks in our presentation. But remaining two presentations has little confusion in saying who should say what.
"Congrats Usha!" Mr.Raj said, smiling at me when we sat down.
"Congrats to you too, Sir. And your idea helped so much for this." I said.
Then suddenly I shrieked when I felt someone's foot is touching mine, and everyone turned towards me confused.
"What happened, Usha?" Shruthi asked frowning.
"Nothing! Just some stupid red ant." I replied, glaring at my dear husband. He smiled sweetly at me and rubbed his foot with mine.
I raised my eyebrows at him, and he smiled mouthing 'I love you'. I looked at him wide-eyed and looked around, but breathed in relief when I saw that there is no one.
"Congratulations, Ms.Usha." He said suddenly.
"She is not miss anymore Abhay. She is married now." Mr.Raj said smiling.
"Oh! I see then congrats for that too." He said like he just got to know that.
Shruthi coughed controlling her laugh looking at his very bad acting.
"Thank you so much, Mr.Abhay." I said and winked making him cough this time.
We all are waiting for our client as he is deciding to give another company too one chance for another project he is handling, but it is little less than this.
"So Abhay! When are you going to get married?" The lady beside me asked him when he, and I are having a tug of war with our feet under the table.
I think he didn't hear her question because he is just frowning at the file in front of him, but he is actually frowning to win this time in our game.
"Abhay?" she called and this time I slapped his foot with mine making his shout.
"What happened, Abhay?" Mr.Raj asked, and we all looked at him worriedly.
"Nothing! Just some big mosquito." He replied.
"Anyway, She is asking some question, Mr.Abhay." I said, gesturing at the lady beside me.
"What is it?" he asked her irritated.
"When are going to get married?" she asked again.
"Soon!" he replied, making me take my foot back from his immediately.
He didn't tell anyone that he was married? But why? If he had, then these rumors would have stopped right.
He looked at me confused, but I looked down at the file and ignore his stare. In the meantime, I took out my mobile and messaged him "Why did you not tell anyone that you are married?"
He opened his mobile and saw it, then typed something. And I got it like "Why are you asking suddenly?"
"Because there are many stupid rumors flowing around the business world." I replied to his message.
When he saw that he frowned, completely and then typed. Which is actually "What are the rumors?"
"I will tell you later, but you need to tell everyone that you are married." I replied and then looked at him with a glare.
"Why? Do you want everyone to call you as my wife?" he asked in the message smirking me.
I fumed and next messaged "This is not a joke, and if you continued this then, I will bring some ex-boyfriend of mine and present him as my husband in front of everyone."
I know it is wrong to threaten him, but what will he feel if he gets to hear that his wife is having to make out with her ex-boyfriend.
He messaged something, but before I could read it, Client entered and informed that he is going to give the second one for Abhay's company.
"Congratulations, Mr.Abhay." I said and got up along with Mr.Raj to leave.
"I will drop you Usha." He said when we started walking towards the entrance following the client and third company.
"No need, sir. I will go on my own." I said politely.
"I am sure her husband will drop her Raj. Am I not right, Usha?" Abhay asked me like some secret message.
I frowned and nodded at Mr.Raj, so he left the hotel building. I stood awkwardly near him and Shruthi looking outside as I saw they all left in their own vehicles.
"Bye, Abhay. We will just talk about the new project tomorrow. And Bye, Usha." She said, leaving and I nodded at her.
When she left I started walking outside, but he stopped me holding my hand, and I looked straight at him confused.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Towards your car so that you will drop me." I replied.
"Did you see the message?" he asked, taking my mobile from my hand and put it in front of me.
"Don't go! Just wait after the meeting is over." I read his message and then took the mobile from him.
"Ok! I am here, tell me what do you need." I said still in a bad mood.
"We are going on a date." That's all he said and dragged me towards the restaurant side.
He just said his name, and manager took us towards the corner table in the restaurant. I sat calmly and waited for him to say.
"Now tell me what the rumors are?" He asked, and I told him all the rumors.
"Usha! They are just rumors. You know the truth right." He said, and I nodded.
"But if you tell them that you are married, then they will stop right." I said frowning.
"No! They will not. Then I will just become a cheating husband as they will just continue." He said and then, I thought we actually can't stop them right.
"But why no one knows that you are married?" I asked him the main doubt.
"I am the CEO of a company Usha. When they find out that I am married, then everyone would want to meet my wife. So are you ready to be in front of them as my wife." He replied calmly.
"Ok! I know I shouldn't have to give all those that much thought." I said and smiled at him.
He smiled back and said, "Happy one-month anniversary."
"Oh my God! I forgot about that." I said smiling.
"I know! You had so many work loads right. I can understand." He said smiling.
"I love you, dear husband." I said holding his hand, looking at him amazed completely by his thinking.
"I too love you, dear wife." He said smiling.
