✿ Chapter 20 : Office Visit ✿
It's been five month to their marriage, everything was going smoothly, the love between them was blooming slowly and they are enjoying it.
Today is Sunday but Sidharth was not in home, as he was working on his big project day and night, he was busy from past two weeks, his scheduled is too busy he barely had time for his family.
"Shehnaaz beta kya kar rahi hai?" Rita maa asked her entering in kitchen.
"Maa Sidharth ke liye lunch ready kar rahi hu itne busy hai wo kuch din se theek se khana hi nahi khate, na theek se so rahe hai raat ko late aate hai aur subha jaldi chale jaate hai" she pout sadly.
Rita maa nodded "haa wo na shuru se hi aesa hai ek baar kaam ne lag jaaye to karke hi chhordta hai"
"Hmm isliye Maine socha kiu na main unka favorite lunch ready karke bheju"
"Are bheju kiu tu khudh le ja aur khila kar aana apni aakho ke saamne"
"Maa main kese... main kabhi nahi gai unke office aur agar unko aese mera aana acha ni laga to?"
"Dhat pagal kiu acha nahi lagega khushi se pagal ho jayega tujhe dekh kar" she chuckle. Shehnaaz blush and look down.
"Ab khana pack kar le aur le jaa hmm"
Shehnaaz nodded and pack all his favorite dishes.
Shehnaaz stepped out of the house and sit in the car, her heart pounding in anticipation. In her hands was a carefully packed lunch box, still warm with Sidharth's favorite dishes. Today was the first time she would visit his office since they got married. She would be stepping into his daily world, the place where he ruled as CEO.
Sidharth had mentioned how busy he was lately, barely getting time for proper meals. He had no idea she was coming by today, she wanted it to be a surprise. The idea of seeing his face light up when she walked into his office with his lunch. The thought made her smile.
As Shehnaaz walked through the glass doors leading into the lavishly designed corporate headquarters of Shukla Enterprises, she could not help but feel a little nervous. It was a world of polished floors, sleek furniture, and sharply dressed professionals. Everyone seemed so poised and efficient, moving with purpose as they attended to their tasks. The contrast between this high-powered environment and her more laid-back personality made her hesitate for a moment. But then, she reminded herself, she was not here just as a visitor, she was here as Sidharth's wife. But will he like if she told herself as his wife, nobody know she is his wife as they didn't announced their wedding yet.
The receptionist at the front desk looked up and smiled warmly as Shehnaaz approached "Good Afternoon, mam. How can I assist you?"
"Good Afternoon" Shehnaaz replied, smiling back. "I'm here to see Sidharth um, Mr. Shukla"
The receptionist's eyes widened slightly "Do you have any appointment?"
"No, i brought his lunch" she show her the lunch box.
"Sorry mam i can't let you in without appointment"
"Umm can you call Miss Priya? She know me" Shehnaaz said politely.
"Ohkay wait".
Shehnaaz nodded and waited as the receptionist made the call. She looked around, Tall windows let in natural light that brightened the vast, open space. The hum of quiet conversations and the clatter of keyboards filled the air. It was impressive, no doubt, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride knowing that Sidharth was the one running it all.
"You're all set" the receptionist said, gesturing toward the elevators. "His office is on the top floor, and his assistant will meet you there"
"Thank you" Shehnaaz replied, clutching the lunch box a little tighter as she made her way to the elevator.
As she ascended to the top floor, her mind raced with thoughts. Would Sidharth be surprised? Would he be happy to see her? She hoped she was not interrupting something important, but knowing Sidharth, he would make time for her no matter how busy his schedule was.
The elevator doors opened to reveal a sleek, modern office space. The top floor was quieter than the rest of the building, with only the occasional murmur of voices and the soft tapping of fingers on keyboards. She was met by Sidharth's assistant, Priya, who greeted her with a polite smile.
"Mrs. Shukla, Welcome" Priya said "Sidharth sir is in a meeting right now, but he should be finishing up shortly. Would you like to wait in his office?"
Shehnaaz smiled, grateful for the warm reception "Yes, that would be great. Thank you"
Priya led her to the large corner office at the end of the corridor. The glass walls offered a panoramic view of the city, and the space was filled with sophisticated decor,plush leather chairs, dark wood furniture, and abstract art on the walls. It was every bit the office of a powerful CEO.
"Please make yourself comfortable" Priya said before leaving, closing the door softly behind her.
Shehnaaz took a deep breath as she set the lunch box on Sidharth's desk. She wandered around the office, admiring the view of the bustling city below. Her heart swelled with pride as she thought about everything Sidharth had accomplished. He was not only the love of her life but also a man who commanded respect and admiration from everyone around him.
A few minutes later, she heard the door click open. She turned around to see Sidharth stepping inside, his eyes widening in surprise when he saw her.
"Shehnaaz!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with warmth "What are you doing here?"
She smiled, her heart fluttering at the sight of him. He looked as handsome as ever in his tailored suit, his tie slightly loosened as if he had just finished a long, demanding meeting. His sharp features softened instantly when he looked at her, the stress of his workday melting away.
"Main lunch laai hu aapka" Shehnaaz said, holding up the box.
Sidharth's eyes softened, and without another word, he crossed the room and pulled her into his arms. She melted into his embrace, feeling the tension in his body dissolve as he held her close.
"You have no idea how happy I am to see you right now" he murmured against her hair, his voice low and filled with affection.
She laughed softly, wrapping her arms around his waist "I know aapke pass time kam hoga isliye maa ne bola ki main aapko apne saamne beth kar kilau"
He pulled back just enough to look down at her, his brown eyes gleaming with love "You're right about that" he admitted with a grin "Pata nahi maine kabse dhang se khana nahi khaya" he pout like a child.
"Well" she said, gesturing toward the lunch box "Come Mr. Shukla let's feed you hungry tummy"
Sidharth chuckle and led her to the small seating area near his desk, a cozy space with a couch and coffee table. He opened the lunch box, his face lighting up when he saw the array of dishes she had prepared paneer tikka, butter naan, and his favorite dessert, kheer.
"Itna sab kuch?" he said, looking at her with a mixture of admiration and amusement.
Shehnaaz shrugged playfully "Only the best for you, Mr. CEO"
He chuckled, shaking his head as he started serving the food "You are spoiling me, Mrs. CEO". She giggle and serve him lunch.
As they began to eat, the conversation flowed easily. Sidharth told her about his day, the meetings he had been in, and the new project his company was working on. She listened intently, chiming in with questions and teasing him when he got too serious about work. There was something so intimate about sharing a meal together in his office, away from the noise and distractions of the outside world.
After their lunch Sidharth took her hand, his thumb brushing softly over her knuckles "Thank you so much Shehnaaz tumhe pata nahi hai mujhe kitni zarurat thi iski" he kissed her forehead.
She smiled, her heart swelling with affection "Aapko acha laga na bass"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Priya entered, looking slightly hesitant "Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt, but the board members are here for your 2 pm. meeting"
Sidharth glanced at his watch, then back at Shehnaaz. He let out a soft sigh before turning to Priya "Can you push it back by One Hour?"
Priya nodded quickly, then left the room.
"Aapko mere liye meeting delay karne ki Zarurat nahi Sidharth" Shehnaaz said, feeling a little guilty.
Sidharth shook his head "Tumhare liye nahi apne liye" he put his head on her lap, she message his hairs with a smile "mere pass time hi nahi hota ab tumhare saath waqt bitane ko" he take her hand and kissed it. He rised his hands, she chuckle and open his cuff "Thank you for coming here" he nuzzle his face in her stomach.
His words made her heart flutter. She loved how he always made time for her, no matter how busy or stressful his day was. It was one of the many reasons she had fallen in love with him.
He sleep in no time due to tiredness, being with his comfort person he sleep peacefully. Shehnaaz also take a small nap.
After an hour Shehnaaz hear a knock on his door "Yes?" She asked from inside.
"Mam everyone is waiting for Sir" Priya said with hesitantly.
"Okay" Shehnaaz said, Priya left from there "Wake up Sidharth" she called him softly. He open his eyes and smile. "Aapki meeting hai na" he half heartily nodded and woke up.
Sidharth stood up, pulling her along with him "Come" he said with a mischievous grin "I want to introduce you to everyone before I go into my meeting"
Shehnaaz's eyes widened in surprise "Introduce me?"
"Of course" he said, his tone light but firm. "I want everyone to know how lucky I am"
Before she could protest, he led her out of the office and into the main work area. Heads turned as they walked past, curious glances following them. Shehnaaz felt a little self-conscious, but Sidharth's hand on her back reassured her.
He stopped at a cluster of employees who were discussing something in hushed tones. When they saw Sidharth, they immediately straightened up, but their eyes widened when they noticed Shehnaaz by his side.
"Everyone" Sidharth began, his voice commanding but proud "I’d like you to meet my wife, Shehnaaz" He wrap his arm around her shoulder.
There was a moment of stunned silence before the group broke into polite smiles and greetings.
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Shukla" one of the employees said.
Shehnaaz smiled warmly, feeling of pride as they addressed her by her new title. Sidharth stood beside her, his arm resting casually around her waist, radiating pride and affection.
As they moved through the office, Sidharth introduced her to more of his team, each time with the same pride in his voice. By the time they returned to his office, Shehnaaz's initial nerves had melted away, replaced by a deep sense of belonging.

He chuckle "haan to lo na"
She unclip her hairpin and forward to him, she also pulled out her scrunchie from her hairs and give it him. "Ye lijiye phone aur ab click kijiye"
He huffed and look at his occupied hand than he remove his Rolex water and wear Scrunchie in his wrist and pin her butterfly hairpin in his coat like a broach.

Sidharth leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, his voice soft as he said, "Wait for me in my cabin okay"
"Okay" she whispered back, her heart overflowing with love for the man who never missed a chance to show how much she meant to him.
As he left for his meeting, wearing his hairpin and scrunchie without caring about others.
Shehnaaz sat back down in his Cabin. He complete his meeting in one hour than they both left the office together.
"It feel nice after so long" Sidharth take a breathe of relief.
"Hmm aapko rest lena chahiye bich bich me" she fold her hands on her chest.
