Mishti >>

My whole body was aching due to those medicines and less eating . I yawned lazily and opened my eyelids, it's 6:30 only. I was feeling much better. Fever was gone too. I tried to move myself then realized I was caged. I looked at my left side and saw Abir.

I remembered about yesterday, he was supposed to come here today but he arrived yesterday. I guess I had asked him about his meetings but I didn't remember what he said exactly. Everything aside why was he sleeping so close to me? That too his one arm wrapped around my tummy and his head buried in the crook of my neck. His hot breath was fanning on my skin.

You can't just sleep this close to me! Suh suh!?

I turned my head, he had a frown on his lips. I chuckled lowly and it may be disturbed his sleep. He groaned in annoyance and shifted more close to me, snuggling more into my neck. I squeezed myself in response, his breath was tickling me. He again slept, I sighed and stared at the ceiling.

I wanted to strech my whole body but I was not able to move. I looked outside through the window, birds were chirping, their chirping noise was so comforting to my ear . He was not ready to leave me and I was done with staring every inch of the ceiling. I didn't gaze at him otherwise my fingers will tremble to touch him, my heart will echo in his name.

The effortless effect he has on me.

I moved my eyes from the mirror to the cupboard to the television, now I was done with spotting dust in the room. The fact that I was doing nonsense thing rather than waking him up. The position was comfortable, his warmth was comforting . It feels so good to be around him, he became my addiction in a short period of time.

Saanvi di's words hit my mind and I couldn't enjoy the moment anymore. My phone started ringing, it's in high volume so disturbed his sleep. "Who's calling this morning? " he said and threw his own phone, which hit the front wall. I quickly pressed the volume key of my phone in fear .

"You just threw your phone, it's my phone which was ringing! " I said, "Oh! " he muttered, how casual, seriously?!

I grabbed my phone, Rihan was calling. He must have called me to enquiry about my health issues. I was wrong about him, apart from being rude to Abir and flirting with everyone, he was a good human being with a good sense of humor. He never fails to make me laugh. This is whatever I got to know about him in this small interval of time. I picked up the call and kept it on speaker and kept the phone away. I didn't want Abir to kill my phone as well..

Hello Rihan.

Hello sweetheart!

I told him that I was uncomfortable with the name candy, so he gave me another nickname. There was nothing to worry about it, because he calls so many girls sweetheart.

Abir moved his head up and looked at my phone screen in his half closed eyes. "Sweetheart? " he muttered, flaring his nose he again went back to his previous position. Like he was expecting it to be Rihan. Lol only he has the guts.

Good morning, you called me this early! Anything urgent?

Nothing I just wanted to ask you about your health sweetheart ..

Abir groaned against my skin and pulled me closer making my heart beat fast.

Yah.. I.. I am.. good.. now..

I was shuttering because Abir was brushing his nose on my neck and the sensation was driving me crazy.

Everything okay? You are trembling or what?

Hehe no not really. It's... It's.. Just umm

Abir placed his lips on my neck, I moaned silently arching my back. He pulled my belly more into him..

Hey everything okay?

Yeah yeah. I will.. I will talk.. talk to you once I reach.. office.

You are coming today?

Yeah bye!

I cut the call without waiting for his response, his lips twitched into a smirk. "What is this behavior Abir? " I muttered , he brought his lips near my ears. "I don't like him, " he whispered, his lips brushing against my earlobe. He took my earlobe between his lips, I moved my palm to his arm to stop him but got lost on his touch. He put his leg above my thigh and placed his half weight above me.

I was completely caged now, tilting my face towards him I held his intense gaze. Goosebumps erected on my body as he moved his hand up from my belly to my shoulder and in a jerk he pulled me into his chest.

Someone opened the door and we both pushed each other hard. "I am sorry! " Naina said turning her back to us, I inhaled deeply and sat on my bed. "It's okay, nothing was happening here! " I muttered, she grinned showing her teeth. "You could have locked the door na! "

"I forgot yesterday! " Abir said, I glared at him. He went to bathroom, I adjusted my hair and settled myself comfortably on the bed. She checked my temperature, we three girls caught cold due to playing in rain. I got fever too. "Temperature is normal! " she informed, I nodded in relief.

"Go and tell meera aanty to make some breakfast for me, I am going office today! " I told her and started getting ready for office. Abir was too quick to get ready and left to office before 8:00. I took my own sweet time to brush my teeth, to take bath, to wear a towel, to dry my hair and so on.

After doing my regular disco dance wearing that towel I started choosing today's outfit. There was a red saree, it's looking too gorgeous but I picked it. It's already 8:45 . I should reach office on 9:00 but who cares?

I am sick after all.

After wearing my clothes I sat in front of the mirror. Normal people look dull after falling sick, but I was glowing. Anyway I don't count myself under normal people. I was on a mood to do make up, so I did. I added red shade blush too. It's been so long that I hadn't wore bindi, so I wore it today. Sindoor was compulsory.

(Her outfit)

Taking my vanity bag with me I went downstairs. Aanty was already waiting for me. I pulled back the chair and sat excitedly, but my face dropped when she served roti and green sabji. "The doctor has clearly denied you to take spicy food , without complaining take all this! " she said in a stern voice. I frowned and started eating my breakfast. Due to the medicine effect nothing was tasting good.

"Is today something special? You look beautiful umm, " I looked up at saanvi di's complement.

"No! Am I looking overdressed? " I asked her, being conscious about my look but she shook her head. Thank God .

"Some people are going to lose their breath after seeing you, for sure! " she added, the way she said my mind automatically went to Abir. I didn't react but just the feeling of him admiring me made my heart flutter ..

"After coming here Abir hasn't done his dinner nor breakfast, take this tiffin for him! " Dadi said placing a tiffin box near me, I nodded and she left. "Aadarsh! " Di called bhai as he grabbed an apple and was about to leave.

"As you are going to Abir's company, take this tiffin for him! " Di said to him, I looked up and she raised her brows. "Do you have any problems? " she asked and I shook my head. Of course I didn't need an opportunity to talk to him. Bhai took the tiffin with him. I pouted internally.

After taking my medicine I went outside. Today my mood was like Poo today, overdramatic , lol. Because I was looking beautiful, extra beautiful and people were giving me the attention.

The guards also count in it na.

I went near the car and forwarded my hand asking for the key but the driver denied.

"Mam you are sick, I can't let you drive! " he said, I furrowed my brows.

"Am I looking sick? "

"No mam but sir-"

"Who is the boss here? " I asked crossing my arms over my chest and lifted my eyebrows together.

"Abir Sir! "

All my attitude went to the drain.

"I mean who is the boss between you and me? " I muttered and shrugged off.

"Mam it's you obviously! "

"Cool, now give me! " having no other option he handed me the key. I opened the car door but another guard stopped me .

"Mam can you please drive slowly? You drive really fast and we get stuck in traffic, you also don't wait for us, we have to follow you in unity , so it's a request please! " he said, I licked my lips.

Hum itne v kuchh khas nhi. Thank you.

"Sure! " I muttered and got inside the car.

Drive slowly girl, slowly.

I started the engine and proceeded to go further, the security guard opened the gate for me. I was in a mood today. I started driving the car at such a pace that a man would reach the office by just walking before I could.

Slow mishti slow.

I slid down the glass seeing the guard calling me from his car which was running parallel to me.

"Mam, you can go at your own pace! " he said being defeated. Is it?

"Thank you! " I wore my black goggles and increased the speed, in a blink of eyes I was in my company premises and there was no sign of the guard's car. Hehe.

I looked at my reflection on the mirror to check if my hair was okay or not. But it's good.

I came out of the car and pushed the door. I pulled out the goggles smoothly as everyone's gaze shifted to me. Thank you. After getting more than enough attention I entered the elevator and pressed 24 . As I came out , my first gaze fell on Abir who passed by me, casually.

Kaun hai yeh jisne dobara mudh ke mujhe nahi dekha? Who is he?

My husband?!

I looked back, he had already gone. What the actual fuck. Stomping my foot in irritation I went to my department. You will crave for that one person's attention even though you would be getting thousand of people's attention.

"Hey Sweetheart! " Rihan called out, I smiled and went to him.

"Umm looking all red, want to kill people here? " as always he started flirting and I rolled my eyes in response. "By the way how is your health ? " he added ..

"Umm I am good now, let me just know what I have to do! " I said, nodding his head he went to his cabin. I followed him, after knowing the details I went to my table and started doing my work. My mood went totally off because he didn't take a glance of me. Gauri and Kunal were on a break, so there was no one to lift up my mood.

I headed towards the canteen in lunch hour and bumped with Abir's dearest PA Richa. I stopped her, "Hey why did the meeting got cancelled? " I asked her, she raised her brows in confusion.

"Oh Australia clients? "

I nodded positively.

"It didn't! "

"But Abir came back here so early, " I asked, "Yes! Because of you. You were sick right? So the moment he heard it, he just came back without caring of anyone & anything! " she said and left.

I was stunned. Should I feel happy about it or guilt? Like it was so important for him, that's why he went to Australia in such condition. He was not allowed to travel, but he came here because I was sick? I had a freaking fever? Fever?

I looked at my watch. I didn't have any time to waste more time as the lunch hour was getting over. I ran to the canteen and ordered a pasta cheese pizza , regular size and a cola. It took them fifteen minutes and I was completely lost in my thought.

He just put me on the top of his priority list and it was melting my heart. It would have been any serious disease then I would have understood but it's just a fever? I told him to stay away from me, it means he has to stay away from me both mentally and physically .

I took one piece of pizza in my mouth and started chewing it, I was not able to focus on pizza because of him . I had to set my priority so I concentrated on my pizza. He and his actions will mess my mind & heart so there was no need to think about it.

I got startled when Abir pulled back a chair and sat next to me. His hand automatically closed the pizza box, but before he could grab it I placed my hand over his. "Are you stealing my food? " I asked while chewing that one piece pizza, there were three piece still left in that box and no way I like to share pizza with anyone.

"Are you fuking kidding me ? For God sake you were vomiting two days before just because of food poisoning! " he said gritting his teeth.

"So? " I asked in confusion, so many people in that canteen had stopped eating and were staring at us, but we being smart talking in a low tone.

"So normally when people vomit or fall sick due to food poisoning they prefer to not eat unhealthy food at least for one week and you have already started taking it from the next day. Is it your stomach or dustbin that you are throwing anything into it? " he uttered pressing his teeth, his hold on the box was still strong.

"Can we discuss about it while eating pizza? I can order one for you too! " I said and he flared his nose in anger.

"Listen! Just eat healthy food for a few days atleast, "

"Pizza is healthy and you should know one fact about me is that I can live without air but not without pizza! " I stated.

"Butterfly how will you live without AIR? EXPLAIN PLEASE? "

"Yeah that's the point Abir. Imagine pizza is more important than air then how much important it is actually, " things were getting intense, he gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"Listen I don't have time for this useless thing, just give it to me and eat something healthy! "

"Oh now I understand, you have your eyes on my poor dear pizza, that's why you are snatching it away from me! " hearing me his face turned like he was holding a piece of patience after that I will be gone but definitely with my pizza. I was dying craving for it. Fuck his healthy diet.

"I am the CEO! CAN'T I AFFORD A PIZZA? "

"Then go and take your own, why are you taking mine! " I said making a crying face. I was fighting for my dear life (pizza) .

"Listen I will not give you any further leaves , "

"You are saying like I took the leave on my own choices, I had fever! '' i muttered.

" The day I left for Australia, you took a leave. Were you sick that day? Don't tell me bhai told you to not come here because he left the next day. Why didn't you come here that day, tell me? "

I licked my lips, the reason was that I didn't feel like joining the office but I could not just tell the CEO about it, right?

"Umm I was like getting the vibes of being sick you know! " I replied, a lame reply. He squeezed his eyes.

"At 10:00 am in spa, at 12:00 in mall, at 2:00 movie theater, at 6:00 restro cafe and came to home at 11:30 PM . The whole day you were not at home and telling me that you were getting the vibe of being sick, ridiculously ridiculous! And one more thing you got sick not because I give you heavy work but before the day before your so called sick- vibe you got your salary and had a foodie night with your & mine sister for that you got food poisoning and after the so called sick- vibe day you were drenching in rain for more than one hour so you got fever !!!! "

"How did you know? " I uttered in shock, my mouth fell agap.

"Forgetting about the necklace you are wearing? As per I remember I had told you about the tracker, isn't it? " he explained. Shit.

I forwarded him the water bottle.

"Jal lijiye, thak gaye honge itna bolke! " now it made him more furious.

"Why will I listen to you? "

"Because I am your boss! "

"I don't care if you are my bus or taxi or cycle, just don't come in between me & my pizza! " I mumbled, he glared angrily.

I had no option left. I pouted and pulled back my hand from the pizza . "Good girl! " he mumbled with a smile. A freaking smile after that damn constant smirk.

No thanks.

I bent forward and pressed my lips on his cheek. His eyes widened and his hold around the pizza got loosened, taking it as an opportunity I grabbed the pizza and ran from there.

"Butterfly! " he called me , but I was already in the vip elevator. I pressed 1 and started eating my pizza in relief. As I reached on ground floor again I pressed 24 , till I reached my floor the box was empty and my stomach was full.

One pizza per a week keep you away from the doctor.
Follow me for more healthy tips, thank you!

So all this drama was for my pizza. I came out of the elevator and threw the pizza box in dustbin and walked like a queen who didn't get a crown but her very own pizza. Hahaha. As soon as I reached my desk Rihan put three files on my desk.

"Go and give it to sir and ask if any change is needed! " he said, my mouth became a complete O shape. I gulped harder.

"But why will I go? "

"Who is the assistant here ? " he asked raising his one eyebrow, I cried internally. I took the file & went to his floor.

It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me

I was just praying him to not present in his chamber. First toh I didn't want him to lecture more about pizza and second about the cheek kiss. It's unintentional, I meant it was just to divert his attention. Nothing more.

Today his secretary was not there to stop me, otherwise I would have returned back happily. It took me ages to reach his cabin and then I wasted few more minutes outside the door . After gathering all my courage I pushed the door without making any noise.

My eyes fell on Abir & Richa, they both were laughing on something, she was probably showing him her phone, they both were sitting close to each other on the sofa. I thought he only laughs with me like this,wholeheartedly . My grip around the file got tightened, it's not good to be so much possessive.

No Mishti No..

"You here? " Richa asked, Abir moved his gaze from the screen to me.

"These files! " I muttered and walked forward. Richa stood up and came to me to take the file. She just stopped in front of me, rather than forwarding my hand and give her the file, I dropped the file there only and it fell on the ground.

"I am sorry! " I muttered, she beng down to pick up the files while Abir stared at me in disbelief. He probably knew that I did it deliberately. Without saying anything I left his chamber and went to my department.

I brought a coffee for me and focused on my work. At 7:00 pm I was done with my work, few employees were still working. Packing my stuffs I went outside.

"Are you going back? " I looked back hearing Abir. "Am I supposed to stay here? " I taunted, he shrugged off. "Whatever suits you! " he murmured, I rolled my eyes & got inside my car. To my surprise he slipped into the passenger seat.

"You have your car there, why are you going with me! " I asked, he stretched his body lazily and loosened his tie. "Why to waste petrol when our destination are same? "

I sighed and started the engine. I was riding at a high speed deliberately to make him freak out but he was completely unbothered. He started chewing chingum. I parked the car in the garden.

"So my guards were right! Anyway impressive, " he uttered and went inside. I stomped my feet and followed him. That Richa thing was actually annoying me to core, it was not supposed to affect me. But it was just annoying and my mood was off. I did my dinner with everyone, he did his in our room.

When I came to room he was playing a video game , it surprised me. Because it's new, I had never witnessed him playing game. "You want to play? " he asked without diverting his gaze from the screen. "What's so special? "

"Actually Richa's friend launched this game, it's new and quite exciting, " he said, I frowned and went to closet to wear something comfortable for the night. As usual my eyes fell upon his white shirt, I could not control the urge to wear it so ended up wearing it.

It feels so comfortable to wear his shirt, it feels like I am in his embrace. I get good sleeps too. When I came back he was still playing. It was looking interesting so I sat on the middle of the bed next to him.

"Want to play? "

I nodded in response, he changed the setting and started the duo game. I took another controller . After he explained me the game we started playing it. It was little tough. From the beginning it was clear that he was going to win. I started pressing my shoulder on his while controlling the remote.

"You don't have to move your body to move that car, just use the remote! " he said, I rolled my eyes. It's near the end, I moved to his front blocking his vision. He still tried to move to his side and I was blocking his view. I was giggling while he was shouting at me.

"What are you doing? " he shouted.

"Either I will win or I won't let you win! " I muttered ..

"In both the way you will win , it's cheating! " he complained.

"As I should! " I flipped my hair but the next moment my face dropped because he won. I pouted and threw the remote. "Heh heh yo yo! " he shouted in happiness, I exhaled fire breath and moved back. Pushing him into the bed I came over him and started hitting him.

"You played it so many times before that's why you won! It's my first time, can you just stop being happy and pretend like you lost! " I shouted, I was still hitting him so he caught my both hand and tied it in his grip on my back.

"You are so violent! " he muttered, I flared my nose and tried to move me but he had caught my hand on my back.

"The amount of inappropriate thoughts I have for you is concerning, " he whispered, his gaze travelled from my eyes to my lips to my neck and more lower. My eyes widened slowly and I looked down at my chest. The upper two buttons of my shirt were opened and my cleavage was visible. My mouth fell agap, his eyes were now fixed on my eyes.

"Leave me! " I tried to free my hand, he shook his head negatively. He trailed up his other hand and adjusted the edge of my shirt, my hairs were falling on the two sides of my face. His fingers tucked it behind my ears, goosebumps erected over my body. I was sure he could have felt my rapid heartbeat after his touch. His lips turned into a cocky smile.

"I hate how much I want you! " I admitted in a low whisper, the next moment he flipped our position, now I was under him but he had still caged my hands below me and came closer. I closed my eyes feeling his cold finger on my cheek, he lifted up my chin. My breath was irregular.

"We are in the same boat, but I just don't hate it! " he whispered, my eyes went open quickly hearing him.

"You don't hate what ? " I asked.

"I don't hate the feeling of craving for you, to be with you, to touch you or to kiss you! I just don't hate it! " he stated, I gulped hard.

"Why? "

"Because it feels right, it just feels right to be with you and to do everything that I want, " I was stunned with his honest response. "We have promised-" he didn't let me complete .

"I won't break the promise and I can assure you  , I am not a person who breaks promises! " he expressed, his grip around me loosened and he went back to his position. I let out a deep breath and pulled the blanket.

Will this lounging ever end?

Will this wanting you ever end?

Even if I am with him, I still want to be with him.

This feelings are horrible, worse than horrible.

I don't want to fall in love with him! I said while actually falling for him. But why this, whatever is between us, need to end? When it feels right then why we have to end it at the last. We never did wrong with each other, the marriage was forced by his family members, he was not at fault.

I could not think anymore, otherwise I would ended up exploding my mind. I closed my eyes and chose to rest.

"I forgot to tell you, we got the project. Richa handled everything there! " I looked at Abir, he was happy.

"Oh congratulations ! " I greeted him, "Tomorrow it's a holiday for every employee and we have a press conference at 2:00 pm. Then a party at night. You have to be present there ! "

I nodded. When will everything end?

Abir >>

It's around 1:30 . I was waiting for Mishti in the company premises . Finally after fifteen minutes a black audi came inside the boundary, it was her. She parked the car and pushed the door. My jaw hung down and my mouth fell apart.

"We should ban saree in our company! " I muttered, Richa questioned her head in response. "Or I should personally tell her to stop wearing saree because everything just goes out of hand when she comes wearing a freaking saree! "

Her transparent pallu was not helping at all. I loosened my tie and stood there watching her coming towards me. But that dumbass Rihan stopped her, always at the wrong time. She pushed his shoulder lightly and laughed throwing her head back as he cracked some lame joke or must have complimented her in a flirting manner. I sighed .

She then came to me.

"You are late butterfly! " I stated , showing her my hand watch, "Actually I was stuck in traffic, "  she muttered, yeah I just saw. We proceeded to go towards the press venue and took our chair on the stage. Other members too took their seats.

" Are you nervous? " I asked her, as it's her first press conference. She shook her head in a no.

So the event started. They asked me about various question related to the project.

"It's a team work. I am grateful for having such faithful and hardworking employees around me. I am thankful to Richa, the way she handled everything there in my absence it amazed me! " I replied to one of their question.

"You are working on this project from last two years but become succeed now. So do you think your wife is your lucky charm? " one reporter asked, my eyes travelled to butterfly.

"Well I don't believe in luck but one thing I can say is that my wife is my biggest cheer leader at this moment. She makes everything easier and definitely push me forward. She motivates me to do more, to achieve more! " I replied, she was probably shocked because of my answer.

Well she doesn't do it directly but definitely being with her I feel motivated, happy, easy going. Her smile is enough to lift up my mood. But my words will seem fake to her, she will think it's just a promotional stunt but I meant everything I said.

The interview continued, at the end they took some solo picture of me for the magazine and some with my employees and then a few with butterfly. After the congratulations session everyone left. I looked here and there but didn't find Mishti. I didn't need to check the tracker because I was sure about her whereabouts.

Canteen .

I went to the canteen , she was there eating choco lava, the lava chocolates have messed up her lips. If there was not a promise between us, I would have pushed her into the wall and tasted the chocolate from her lips. It's dangerous to go near her at that moment so I chose to go back to my cabin.
