*Vani Pov*

"Damn! I am getting late." I mumbled to myself rushing out of the washroom only to scream looking at the person near the door.

"What are you doing here? I thought you left a few hours ago." I mumbled before stepping outside near to the mirror.

"There was a special emergency case so I had to leave early." He mumbled in a whisper, making me frown and I turned around to see him staring at me but not only my face.

I glanced down to see that I am not wearing a Saree and just holding it in my hands. I gulped, but looked away, feeling shy and also feeling a blush ready to cover my face.

"I will go outside." He mumbled and walked away, making me get a reality flashed.

It will not matter to him even if I stand with even less clothes than this. What am I in front of his girlfriend?

You are just stupid, Vani! I thought, and started getting ready before taking a deep breath.

I walked outside to see him reading a paper and I calmly packed the lunch, which he hasn't taken while leaving early.

"I was about to tell you, but you left early. I am going for an interview." I said when he took the lunch from the table.

"Interview? For what?" he asked, not moving from his place.

"For a receptionist, but a part time." I replied.

"Do you want to?" he asked, staring at my face.

"Yeah! I am getting bored staying here." I replied fidgeting with my hands.

"Ok! Shall I drop you?" he asked and I sighed in relief with his no objection regarding the matter.

"No! There is still time and I will go on my own." I replied, to which he nodded and walked away.

"Don't worry, Vani! You will get this job for sure." Rupa said, assuring me and I shook my head.

"You don't know how scared I got to reach here on that bus. I checked a lot of times the number on it before getting inside. After sitting inside, I checked your message again and again. It was thoughtful of you to give me the bus number." I said holding her hand.

"Someone gave me like that which helped me. We are new to this and are learning. So, even if we make mistakes, then it will never matter." She said shrugging off.

"Anyway, just feel confident and talk in English if you can. We got the coaching of it and I am sure we can cope with it. All the best!" she added before sending me away fro interview.

Until the moment I stepped outside the room I felt like I am sitting in a hot coal room. I glanced around and found Rupa waiting for me.

"So?" she asked the moment I walked near to her.

"It went fine and they said I will get the answer after some time." I replied smiling.

"Great! Let's go for lunch." She said, dragging me towards the canteen and I already got used to her dragging from the time when she dragged me to her parents a few months back.

"So, is everything fine?" she asked after a few minutes.

"Yeah!" I replied, nodding.

"Ok! I think I am really bad at the subtleness. Now, you will tell me whether you asked your husband about that girl and how close he is with her." She demanded and for a second I stared at her in shock.

"I need not ask him at all, Rupa. She is his one of the best friends." I said, sighing and leaned back.

"What? You mean the same girl I saw with the group on Saturday at the restaurant?" she asked with wide eyes.

I nodded before explaining to her regarding their near to ritual about meeting at that restaurant and about their visiting yesterday for lunch and dinner.

"You don't know how it was to see them so close, Rupa. I turned a blind eye regarding that matter until I get to know about his friendship status and everything." I said at last covering my face.

"Hey! Don't worry about it and we will see what happens. Why don't you ask him?" she asked frowning.

"If I do, giving him the explanation of her call then he may think I am trying to make him leave her or spoil their friendship. Or worse, he may accept it. I can't bear it in direct words and I am waiting for him to tell the truth by himself. It is not like he likes me or something. I am in his life because of his mother." I said fisting my hands.

"Are you sure?" she asked frowning.

"He didn't even talk to me until last week or shall I say until the day that girl returned from her holiday. His happiness is linked with her as it seems." I replied shrugging.

"I hope you get the happiness and if he is cheating on you then leave him after confronting." She adviced but I just frowned.

Will he go to that extent to cheat on the marriage vows? No! If he does that then he is not her son at all and I believe that fact.

*Kamal Pov*

"Did you get the job?" I asked her the moment I walked into the house and saw her as usual in her place cutting the vegetables.

"Yes! It is part time like I said in the morning." She replied without looking up or even stopping her work.

"Why don't we celebrate it?" I asked, moving towards the table when she stood up to walk into the kitchen holding the vegetables which were already cut.

When she stopped, I couldn't help but glance at her waist which is bare with her, tucking the end of her saree properly and remembered the sight of the morning, which I couldn't stop from coming into my mind from the next second.

"I mean, my friends will be happy for you and they can join it too." I added, when she stood in silence thinking she is feeling uncomfortable with my advice.

"I am going to cook and Rupa already gave me a treat." She simply replied before walking away, making me frown.

"Ok!" I mumbled back and walked into the room to freshen up.

"Dammit!" I mumbled getting her in my mind again while showering.

This is so not good and she will get scared if I act anything over it. I controlled my mind and tried to act normally for the rest of the night.

However, the moment I turned around in the bed and got a glimpse of her ever torturing waist, my hand moved on its own accord until it was a second away before touching it.

I pulled back when she was about to turn around and frowned when I saw her still not asleep.

"Are you nervous after the interview?" I asked and she gave a startled look before moving a little away.

"I thought you were asleep." She mumbled covered herself properly with the blanket.

"So, are you?" I asked, to which she slowly nodded.

"But why? Don't you want to work?" I asked her frowning.

"I never thought to work." She replied honestly.

"Then why are you?" I asked her in confusion and just stared into her eyes, which haunted me while I was in a foreign country.

"I always thought I would have worked around the house and do everything and then have a nice chat with neighbors. However, all those things can be done even by a maid right like the one coming from last week to clean the house." She replied with a blank face and I frowned at her tone.

"I am sure the person who does that is not maid in real sense." I mumbled and she gave a half laugh shaking her head.

"No! All the things I had until now are suitable for being as a maid and now I don't want that picture of myself like that in anyone's eyes." She said surprisingly in a stubborn tone.

I placed my hand over hers before whispering "If you wish to do this and gain any confidence you are lacking then it is really good. I am sure you will do more than fine."

"Thanks!" she whispered and took her hand away from my hold before turning around and drifted off into sleep.

"What happened, Kamal?" I heard Rakesh asking me and I glanced up from my coffee to see David and Pallavi frowning at me along with Rakesh.

"Where is Girish?" I asked, ignoring their question.

"He will be here soon as per his call, but tell me what is wrong." David insisted.

"You were happy last week. Is everything okay between Vani and you?" Pallavi asked, placing her hand on mine with a frown.

"Of course, they will be fine. Why do you think otherwise?" we heard a voice and turned to see Girish but we jerked back seeing two other people with him.

"She is Rupa and she is Vani. Well, Rupa is my girlfriend while Vani is my best friend's wife. I hope you know that, Pallavi." Girish said, staring at her and then I felt the hand moving away from mine.

"Will you stop your sarcastic tone and I am not his girlfriend." Rupa said, walking towards us and sat in Girish's place.

"Work-in-progress!" he mumbled shrugging and dragged two chairs before making sure Vani settled down and then he sat beside me.

"What is happening here?" David asked, frowning at them.

"You see, Rupa works in the hospital as an accountant where I work." Girish replied.

"Vani got the job in your hospital." I stated and he nodded grinning.

"Yes! I got to know just today while she was working for the past one week. Now, I am looking forward to have a chat with her everyday to pass the boring working day or even at leisures." Girish said grinning at her.

"Don't make any trouble by which I will lose my job." She mumbled, not making eye contact with me.

"Well, this is for the celebration of her job. She is here for that only in the end accepting my invitation after a lot of pursuing." He said before ordering the snacks for all of us.

Everyone got adjusted to the scene and started making small conversations with each other and even David and Vani but except Pallavi and Vani. It is not like she is doing it with me.

I shook my head and started talking to everyone by myself thinking about having a word with her after reaching the home.
