Three months.

CHAPTER: 12

Swara.

Sanskar was having a meeting with his client. So driver uncle came for picking me up. I was very exhausted. I badly needed a coffee to chill my mind. Urg!! Soon we reached Maheshwari mansion. I could see everyone standing in the dining hall. What's the matter?

"Areeyy--she came!" Mom jumped from her place and bear-hugged me. Oh my!! It's choking. I swear, one day she will kill me with all her love.

"Sujjuu, leave her naa. She is already very tired. And now, are you planning to crush her bones?" Yes, badi maa was right. I could feel my bones cracking.

"Oops, Jiji!" Mom left me. Huh!!

"Swara, how was your first day?" Badi maa asked me. My mom has called me in the afternoon asking the same. I felt so much happy to hear this from badi maa. They care for me so much.

"It was good. In fact, now I'm a part of an important project. I'm feeling so happy now." I genuinely said. They smiled at me.

After that, I went to Sanskar's room. I had a bath and sat on the study room allotted for me. Yeah!! Here, everyone has their own study rooms. No one will disturb us when we are inside it. That was one of the rules of the Maheshwari house.

When I was about to switch my phone off, I got a call from Sahil. Heyya! I took it with a ring.

"Babydoll! How are you?" Sahil chirped from the other side. I miss him!

"Hey bro, I'm fine. I have a surprise for you." I know he would be surprised to know about my job.

"Wait, congratulations babydoll. Now you are the system manager in the head of the department. I'm happy for you." Urg!! How can I even forget that he is Sahil Sengupta? He must have known it already. Huh!!

"Go away. I won't talk with you. Here, I was planning to say that as a surprise. But, you spoiled it." I acted to get awful.

"Don't make a pouting face now. You know I'm keeping tabs on you. That's why I was able to know it." How did he even know that I was pouting? Hehe! Okay, I know it.

"Fine bro! I was just teasing you." I giggled at him.

"Swara ki bachhi," He was yelled other side. I chuckled at him. "Swara, you should be careful, okay! This is your first ever project. Try to make it perfect." Sahil was continuously advising me. I nodded and disconnected the call.

I sighed and switch the phone off. I opened the file regarding the serene project. It was a proposal to built five super speciality hospital in West Bengal. We should construct five super speciality hospital within 3 months. Oh my!! That's very less duration. We should look at the whole construction and the infrastructure of the hospital. Every information regarding the construction will go directly to the head branch, that was Kolkata.

In this, my role was to, update each and every minor detail on the head computer. I will be given every minor detail in every minute. I should keep the tabs and should update it on the computer. I should prepare the construction charts and infrastructure catalogues. If I have any suggestions, I can put forward that too. In every two weeks, I should submit the records to Sanskar. He will have a look at it and will do the necessary things. Thank God! I have done some workshops in business management and infrastructure format. I'm sure, that would help me.

I know my job as a system manager isn't like this. In a company, a system manager should look at computer programming and coding. A system manager should prepare for hacking and coding only. But here, I need to update and upload everything on the computer, which isn't a part of my job. But now, I was the only one in the project with system basics. That's why maybe I was assigned to it. But I was happy. Soon I will be coding and programming apps for the company. I was waiting for it.

Now, I need to prove my worth in front of Mr Sanskar Maheshwari. Wait and watch the game, Mr Maheshwari. You are gonna be clean bowled.

I started working on the project. It was so hectic. I needed to be alert every moment. Now I'm just like Sanskar, coming home at night 11. I know everyone was worried about me. But it was my first ever project. I needed to do it for a good cause.

Early morning, I will get the updates from Lavanya or Simran. And I will transfer it to my pc. That was my job. Now it was my routine and I was used to it. But all these while what surprised me was Sanskar! He wasn't humiliating or looking into my matters. He wasn't even talking to me. In the office, he will be discussing official matters with me without any hatred or arrogance. I was very glad.

At night also, I used to sleep in study. He wasn't into a fight with me. Inside the office, we shared a boss-employee relation. And here, none!

Like these three months passed. I kept on working on the project. Even papa and badipapa came for my help. They used to arrange the charts for me. Now, everything was over. Today was the last day. Thankfully, the work was completed. 5 hospitals were constructed with fully equipped and furnished.

Now, I was heading towards the conference hall. We were having a meeting with every shareholder. I hope, everything will go well. I entered the hall and sat on the chair.

"Good evening everyone. I'm happy to announce that we were able to construct the hospitals within a very short period of time. Cheers to our beloved and smart CEO, Mr Sanskar Maheshwari. Once more, he had proved that no one is more capable than him to have the chair of Maheshwari's CEO. It's time to celebrate." Aman announced and everyone clapped. I felt happy inside. No matter what, my so-called husband deserves whatever Aman said. I have seen Sanskar working day and night without closing an eyelid.

"No, I can't take the whole credits. This success belongs to 3 lakh employees of Maheshwari group of company. If they haven't supported me with my decision, I wouldn't be able to construct 5 super speciality hospital within such a short period of time. I thank each and every worker at this moment. Thank you!" I was impressed by Mr Maheshwari. He was a gentleman. At this moment, I was forgetting his deeds. I was thinking like a worker of his company.

"After one week, Dr Sindoor Gajini, our honourable health minister will be inaugurating the hospitals. I have contacted him yesterday itself. I welcome each and every person in front of me on that auspicious day." Sanskar was inviting us for joining him at the inauguration.

"Tomorrow night, we are holding a victor party for everyone. Hope, you all will be having a part in it," Yippe!! Party. Lalalala!!

"As we have completed this proposal successfully, the government will be calling Maheshwari company for their next important project. The decision isn't finalised, but I'm sure, we are gonna crack it. Thank you." Sanskar ended his speech and everyone clapped. I admired him so much. He achieved this position of CEO at this young age because of his own merits. He was a role model for everyone.

After the meeting, I went home with Sanskar itself. I'm not telling, his attitude towards me have changed. But now, he wasn't harming me. And that was a relief. I know, I need to inform this to my family members. But, what if it was a matter which could be sorted out between ourselves. I wish, he could say everything, he was going through. Alas! We were silent. He stood silent and I followed him in that.

Everyone was excited in the house. They fed kheer to Sanskar. He happily ate it. Oh my!! He smiled. Am I dreaming? For a very fast time after our wedding, I saw him smiling. It gave a butterfly effect inside my stomach. Urg!! I hate his effects on me.

It was early morning. After 3 months, I was able to wake up without any stress. Forget Sanskar! Who cares about him. After taking a bath, I went for preparing tea for everyone. I miss my kitchen. How much I loved preparing dishes for my family. Now, I'm gonna take over the kitchen. Hehe! I laughed at my own thoughts.

"Areeey, Swaraaaaa..." Oh my!! With a jerk, milk bottle slipped from my hands and fell down. Shit!! I said one day mom's love was going to kill me.

"Mom!! It's not fair. You startled me." I stated with a pout. Now, how will I prepare my milk coffee? Forget their tea. They were used to drink black tea. But what about me.

"Don't panic beta. I'm gonna tell Suresh to buy a milk packet." Mom was consoling me. But naah! That wasn't enough. I don't like to waste anything. And here, from my hand, a whole bottle of milk was slipped.

"Swara, it's okay! It wasn't your fault. Please don't worry thinking that you wasted the milk." God!! How did she know, I was thinking about it?

"Sharmishta jii had cautioned me about your crazy thoughts. That's why I understood that now you will be blaming yourself for it," Aww...my heart fluttered. She had taken everything seriously. I thought, just like my uncle and aunty she would be thinking that I was somewhat weird and crazy. I chuckled inside.

"Swara, as I said earlier, you don't have to do the household chores. Just because you are the daughter in law, you don't need to do these things. I'm completely against it." She was a practical lady. And I love that trait of her's.

"Mom, it was not as you think. I love cooking. I love to see that satisfaction on everyone's face after eating the dishes I prepared. That's why I was doing this. If not making breakfast and lunch, at least allow me to do this." I pouted and said. She shook her head without any choice. Yippee!

"But at least, let me help you," She wasn't going to leave me. Huh!! Why can't no one understand that I was doing cooking because of passion, not as a responsibility?

"Okay okay, don't pout now. I'm going." Mom stated and went to her room. Huh! Now I was alone with my kitchen. Let's party yaar.

Oh my!! Now I was remembering the party kept. I was so excited. I love parties. But after the marriage, I wasn't able to attend any of the night parties. Today I'm gonna rock it.
