Part 12

It's yes!

After that day.

Annika came to Bedi mansion in the morning. It was 7.30am.

She met Rano and Jay on entering and was informed that Rishi was still sleeping.

She straight went to his room. And saw him cutely sleeping with a pout and slight snore.

She smiled.

A:Rishi. Rishi.. utiye.... aur ye room bhi deko kitna ghanda hai. Yuk. Rishi utiye.

R: ek mint Anika (he said being asleep)

She started cleaning the room and againg called out his name.

A:Rishi.😤

Rishi woke up with the jerk. And rubbed his eyes.

R:tum sach me ho..? Ek mint(he went to her and poked her shoulder with his index finger) arrey tum tho sach me ho.😍

A:hain..? Kitna sote ho ap. Chaliye fresh hojayiye. Waise kisine kaha tha mujhe ki "il pick you up haa..!" Aur kya tha.. haa! ''Undan-chu mat hojana" Aur yehan gadhe,ghode,Hati sab bej k so rahe hai😏(she said rolling her eyes)

R:oh god. Phail gaya.

A:ha..?

R:raita.😅🤣

A:😏ab chaliye jaldi fresh ho jajiye.

R:just 2 mints.

And with in no time he got freshed and was out he saw Annika cleaning his room. She was keeping his things in the cupboard when he held her wrist.

R:Annika tum ye biwio wali harkat kyu karai ho..? Mat karo.

A:ap ready hogaye..? Me breakfast le k ati hu. Yehi rehena.. aur tayyar hojayiye. Me abi ayi.

R:kya hai ye Annika..?

A:iski adat dal lijiye.

R:kya..?

A:abi ayi.

After breakfast Annika got up and cleaned the table.

R:Annika mujhe sach me yekin nai hiraha ki tum ho. Kyu ki me ne tume matlab is situation ko sapne me itni baar deka hai ki mujhe ye yekin hi nai horaha. Ab tho dar lag raha hai ki kahin me ab aank kholu aur ye sab sapna nikle.!

A:time kya hai..?

R:hein..?

A; Timee!

R: 8:15. Kyu...?

A:yehi dikane ki ye sapna nai hai.

R:matlab.?

A:sapne me humari aank kaam nai karti. Kyuki sapne hamre dimag chalata hai jab hum sote hai. Aur aank tab kaam karta hai jab hum all set hai. Matlab jab hum anpe pure sense me hote hai.

(A/N: and this is true. If you have a dream where you are scared or something when you want to come out of it think and try to fine a watch or wall clock there. When you can't read the time. Your mind will be calmed. And if you are more afraid in your dreams think that you are dying and dead. Because brain doesn't know what happens after death so you'll be out of that dream soon.

And sorry for this bak-bak)

After this Annika drove him to his office. And accompanied him in.

R: tum..?

A:me aj office nai jarahi. Took a break.

Rishi was finding it fishy but Annika staying by his side for the whole day what else would he ask for.!

Annika was in his cabin while he had went to attend a meeting in his meeting room. And when he came back he was angry and shouting at his manager.

R:apko ek baar me samj nai ata jab ye deal hume chahiye matlab chahiye. Ye hamare liye bohot zaroori thi.

Maneger(M): sir wo..

A:Rishi..? (Rishi huffed in anger) ap bolonge ki kya hua..?

M: sir..mam wo..

R:kyu ab bolo kya bologe.. jab kaam karna hai tab nai karenge aur ab... mujhe tho lagta hai ki tum logo k paas pehele se reasons ready hote hai... hai na..

M: sir..

R:just shut up and leave.

Manager and two others left behind him but rishi was still cursing them.

And now Annika was enough of listening his curses. She splashed a glass of water on his face.

(Dress ko ignore maro aur feelings pe Dyan do!😁)

R:pani itna hi pasand tha tho peheli hi boldeti. Rain coat pehen k ghumta na🤨😖

A:aise bolrahe h jaise me ne peheli baar aap pe pani feka ho!

R:tabi tho kaha ki rain coat pehen k ghumunga!

A: ha tho me kya karti ap shaant hi nai horahe the. Jo mere dimag me ata wahi kiya.

R: jo haat me aya wo kiya tumne dimag tho use hi nai ki na. Acha hua tumne paani feka kuch aur milta tho pata nai. Tum tho shadi se pehele hi widwa ban...(Annika didn't let him complete she placed her palm on his mouth for stopping him)

A:ap ye kaise bat karre ho!(she slightly teared up)

Rishi slowly took off her hand.

R:Annika me bas mazak karah tha.

A:ap na ek number ke bhudhu ho. Aise mazak karta hai koi..?

Rishi smiled. And hesitantly hugged her.

A:ap aj kal zyada hi jhappiya nai lerahe..?

R:haq hai mera.(they broke the hug)

A:aye bade.

R:khana..?

A:haan..?

R:arrey bhuk lagi hai. Me kuch magvata hu.

A:nai chahiye.

R:tumare liye nai mere liye🤭

A:😏(she took a pause) me ne tho socha tha ki aaj lunch bahar karenge. Hum DONO.(emphasizing on "dono") teek hai. Me akeli chali jaoungi. (She said suppressing her laughter)

R:arrey me na.. chalo chalo. Kitna bat karti ho. Chalo tho.

.

.

They reached their car (Annika's red champa)

R:me drive karu..? Tume problem nai hai tho.

A:mujhe koi problem nai hai par I wanna drive. Ap aram se baito.

R:okay waise good for me. Me busy honga tume stare karte huye.(said under his breath)

A:kya..?

R:hungry.!

They had their lunch having their time. Knowing each other and having fun.

After this they headed back to his office and rishi had another meeting st some other place. But Annika still accompanied him. He was more than happy. He was not understanding why was she doing this. What is by heart or some hidden intention. He was confused. But she was beside him handling him and his anger was the best thing. He was way more energetic. He prepared a presentation for the meeting which was on the next day.

And Annika was living his life for today. Each and every thing he goes through. His meetings,his presentations, preparations, his stress and uff his anger.

He had another simple discussion with his manager and staff members in his cabin.

Annika stood at a distance adoring him.

The way he shows his anger,the way he shows his right. The was he jokes all of a sudden between his serious talks. And eventually stealing glances from her and passing a sweet smile.

And finally he was free at 5.30 exactly the time when Annika would return home.

Annika giggled at his excitement.

R:thank you Annika. (He hugged her wrapping his hands around her waist pulling her up to his level)

A:chodiye. Bye(with a tint of blush) see you. soon.

(She moved to go back to her driver seat door, she stooped to see him standing there. She hurriedly ran back to him. Kissed his left cheek and hurriedly drove back. She had her blush all the way home. And here rishi was still shocked to accept what happened, he touched his cheek and smiled)

R:jhalli.(he commented and blushed)
