####PAST WILL BE IN ITALICS FONT AND PRESENT WILL BE IN NORMAL FONT####

*Ajay Mehra Pov*

The next day I woke up and immediately got ready thinking of something to be done to make her accept us getting together.

I still recall how shocked I felt when she declined my offer.

"Jiya!" I said, smiling when she walked towards the park.

"What do you want, Ajay?" She asked in a monotone.

"I know you must be still feeling angry regarding my yesterday's words, but will you come back with me?" I asked her.

Yesterday night after getting the footage I couldn't stay in the home without her in it. I want her in my life.

"No!" She replied shocking me.

"I know what I did is a mistake, but please stay with me Jiya." I said holding her hand.

"You wanted revenge and you got one, and you can leave Ajay. We are not even married now." She said and walking away.

I couldn't stop her because I don't know what to even say to her.

When I searched her stuff and mine, to search for her when she left the Palghar, I got a reason by which she can stay with me.

But I know if I say that she will be angrier at me.

I shook my head and thought she would have killed me if I told her that news. I need to ensure she will not be uncomfortable in my presence and then tell her.

I walked inside the office room only to crash into her as she was walking outside the room. She got stumbled back and hissed when her head made little contact with the door.

"Jiya!" I said, moving near her and removed her hand on the head to see the wound.

I rubbed the spot while she closed her eyes tightly. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and glanced up at me.

"Thank you, Sir." She said and tried to remove herself.

"Be with me, Jiya." I said still rubbing the spot on her head along with staring at her.

"Why so suddenly, Sir?" She asked frowning.

"What do you mean suddenly? I have been asking you the same question after the day when I told you the truth about my plan." I replied frowning.

"But you didn't ask again after coming to Ahmadabad." She said, and I nodded.

"I don't want you to run away from here and stay somewhere else because of me." I said, moving my hand from her head to her cheek and caressed it.

"I don't want to be with you Sir." She said, shaking her head and closed her eyes.

"Will you stop calling me by that name?" I asked her frowning.

"Are you releasing me from this contract?" She asked back.

"I would have not even made this working contract if I had some other way to make sure you stay with me." I replied.

"I think it is a good thing that you did a contract marriage with me otherwise I am sure I would have to be gone through hell to get freedom from the marriage." She said snorting.

"I know I was rude to you during those months, but it is just so that you will leave me on your own." I said continued to caress her cheek.

"I need to go downstairs." She said trying to move away.

"I know you don't love me, and I know I don't deserve it from you, but I, really..." She cut me off pushing me away and rushed outside the office room.

I sighed and hit my forehead for not confessing way before. I don't even want to think what she will do if she knows the truth.

*Jiya Pov*

"You are late." That's what Madam said when I reached the dining table for breakfast.

Well your Son is the cause for it. I stopped myself from giving that answer.

"Sorry, Madam." I said sitting in my place.

"Eat all that and then take these tablets." She said and placed a full plate of food in front of me.

I turned to look at the clock and asked, "It is 9am right, Madam or is it 9pm and I missed it."

"You don't eat dinner that much right, so you will eat lunch quantity of food at breakfast time. Dinner quantity of food at lunch time and then breakfast quantity of food at dinner time." She said, and I continued to stare at her only with one thought in my mind.

If she is the caretaker of any children's hostel, then, I feel very sad for them.

"Madam..." I trailed off when I saw her narrowing her eyes.

I nodded sighing and started eating the food. When I am halfway both her husband and Mr.Mehra reached the table.

They finished their food, but I still have so much food to consume. After finishing it, I leaned back and closed my eyes feeling so tired.

They say by eating we get energy, but now I think I am going to pass out. Then I felt tablet's plate in front of me.

I took a deep breath and took the tablets. She finally nodded with satisfaction.

"What happened to you, Joshna?" Mr.Nilesh asked her.

"I am sure she works, properly for the company, but she doesn't have any care for herself. I don't know how much worried her mother must have been about her from the time she is a kid." She replied, and I closed my eyes.

"You do not need to worry about my mother, Madam. Everyone knows definitely how to take care of me." I said, opening them and she frowned at my sarcastic tone.

"Was it related to less blood in the body?" I heard Mr.Mehra's question.

"Yes!" I replied and no wonder he thinks that reason as I had too many cases like this from the time I was a kid.

"There is going to be a success bash planned for all the branches here in Ahmadabad." Mr.Nilesh said.

"In our home?" Madam asked him.

"Yes! I am sure we all will take care of arrangements." He replied.

"We will take care of arrangements, and you will just sit back, giving us instructions." She said, rolling her eyes, and I glanced at Mr.Nilesh raising my eyebrows.

"Joshna!" He said catching my glance.

"No, no! You don't take care of, not a single thing in the house except the business. You are really a bad husband." She said, and I coughed while drinking the water.

"I will tell Jiya some details for the bash." He said getting up and I too got up.

"Don't make her work too much." She said stopping us.

And for the first time after so many days, I got a smile on my face and that too looking at her.

"Sure." He said rolling his eyes, and we both walked inside the office room.

"So Jiya, looks like you got too much coughing to do today." He said sitting at the chair, and I sat in the chair in front of me which I wouldn't have done if Mr.Mehra is in front me.

"So you are a bad husband, Sir?" I asked him raising my eyebrow.

"Don't call me Sir, Jiya. How many times do I have to tell you?" He asked frowning.

"Well, someone sure knows how to tell lies." I replied shrugging.

"I am so excited." I said grinning.

"Why?" Durga asked.

"I am finally meeting your Dad." I replied grinning.

"He is here." She said, and I turned to see some man in complete business style attire.

"Hello, Sir." I said, shaking his hand.

"Don't call me Sir." He said smiling and sat down.

"Dad! My best friend Jiya." Durga said, introducing me.

"A college girl?" He asked, looking at my bag.

"Well, we don't care about our age difference, and we want to get married." I replied, and he coughed as he was drinking the water.

Durga and I burst out laughing, and he glared at both of us. We talked and talked and finally I asked him one question.

"So are you henpecked like Durga says?" I asked him smirking.

"Durga! Why did you tell her that?" He asked.

"Well, he is only in talking and decisions and nothing else." Durga replied and excused herself to go to the washroom.

"She is lying. I look after each thing that happens in my house and my wife always says that I am the best husband she could ever get." He said, and I smiled at him.

"That's so sweet." I said smiling.

"Yes! She complains sometimes that I do too much work at home, and I should start taking a rest." He added.

"Wow! Search for a groom who is like you, Uncle." I said grinning.

"You marry my Son then. He is the same." He said shrugging and I rolled my eyes.

"So your company is a Mehra electronics in Ahmadabad." I said changing the topic.

"Yes! And there are branches everywhere." He said.

When Durga walked towards the table, he calmly said, "Jiya accepted to marry your brother."

"Really? I have been asking her that question for the past few months. I am so happy." She said squealing.

"Guys stop it." I said, and they both burst out laughing.

"You are the best father." I said when he returned to leave the Palghar.

"Why did you hide about my brother?" I asked her.

"He would be worried the next second if he knows." She replied, and I nodded.

"I thought you would meet me after her death, but you didn't." he said, and I came out of my thoughts.

"I do not know how to show my face. I was still shocked for a few days when I got the news." I said, and he nodded.

"So, what is with my Son and you?" He asked as usual changing the topic.

"He is my boss and I am his secretary." I replied shrugging.

"I will pass a word for him to marry you." He said.

"I am a divorcee." I said, and he frowned.

"So? He couldn't miss a girl like you, and Durga would be so happy." He said smiling.

"Uncle! Do me a favor and not talk about this again." I said, and he nodded.

"So, your brother is still in jail?" he asked.

"Yeah! I am glad that I told you that he is my brother when I came here." I replied.

"I was shocked to see you in the paper and even when you came here. But I understood your head movement and kept it secret." He said, and I nodded.

"I was about to leave for Mumbai branch to meet you if you had not come here with him." He added.

"I feel her in this house at every place." I said, and he nodded smiling sadly.

"You are really a great father." I said holding his hand.

"And you are a great friend." He said back.

We then started discussing about the details to be taken care about the bash, which is expected to be huge.
