Malarvizhi pov:

I freaking got attracted towards him in this one week itself . Yup😢. This is what iam afraid from  start itself. But how can I not attract towards him. He is soo loving towards his family except me. So am going to do everything from now onwards to stop this attraction.

With this thought I get ready to my work. As today is an Monday I have to get ready right. Mom yesterday itself asked me to wear the saree. For my first day, after that she asked me to wear whatever I prefer.

So I wear the saree and fixed my Thaalli inside my blouse as I don't want to look like an married woman. I just hide my thaali. I kept the vermilion on my forehead and above that I placed some of my hair like in an puff style and hide that too. I believe in these centiments, so I don't want to stop keeping this.

After that I came below and started to make coffee and tea. I asked mom to serve  all. And then I started to prepare the food For breakfast and lunch too. Because from today vikram too going to college. He is still not spoke with me other than that one day fight. Ufff. Why these two brothers bothers me😒.

Everyone came for breakfast and started to have. I asked mom" whether Aaditya and Aarav have the packed lunch  or they have from outside"

"No malar  I mean I can't cook lunch too them. I can only cook the breakfast because of my old age" she said to me.

"Mom I can cook to them too mom. See I always prefer the home cooked lunch. So if they too want, I can prepare to them too" I said to her

"If you okay to prepare them, then I don't have any object in it. But I will help to you. Is it okay" she said to me

"Definitely mom" I said to her.

After that I packed the lunch for them too. As I prepared the lunch for all at first itself.

Vikram and Aaditya took lunch with them. As Aarav will always like to have mom food. So that only I prepared lunch for him too. I get to know that Aarav is an board of director and COO of MR limited. When I get to know about this, they all look at me as I am serious about not knowing any of them.

Mom asked Aaditya to drop me off to company. But I said to her that his and my timings are different and also said that we didn't announced anyone rgarding our marriage so it will create an commotion. And also said that I took the leave too with the basis of sick leave. She reluctantly said OK. She atleast asked me to took one of the car with driver. But I don't want as if anyone seen me with car then they will started to gossip about me. I don't want that to happen.

At 9.20 I came out of the mansion. And then I used the public transportation to reach my company. It was only an 20 mins to reach there. I reached at 9.50.

I waited for krithi. After seeing me she just hugged me tightly. And started to complain about the team lead who gave the tons of work to finish. Oh god....

Then we gone to our work. And we started to do the work. At break we came to the canteen and I ordered the coffee as usual and she ordered an sandwich for her. Always an foodie😍. We planned to visit the pani puri shop today. As I too crave for that. We mostly ate this atleast 2 times in a month.

And then she started to ask about my marriage life. I said to her whatever happened last week. She asked me.

"Where is your husband working"

Oh I forget to give this information to her "He is working here only"

"Really then you can do the office romance right. Take care girl. You know right the norms says that there will be no romance inside the office."

"What" I just blushed at that thought. But I know that it will never happens. Heeeee. For that we both have to love right.

"And what is his designation here" she asked again

"He is the CEO of our company" I said somwhat lowering my head.

"What the freaking CEO" she started to shout. Almost all the people in the cafeteria looking at us.

Oh god  I just kept my hand around her mouth to stop shouting. Then she realised what she is doing. She just smiled awkwardly towards all. And sat in her place.

"Seriously malar you forget to inform this matter to me. Oh god with your husband I can get more influence right. First of all I want to take revenge with our team lead who is giving lots of work only towards us" she said smilingly.

"How can I call him Anna(Brother) or Mama(Sister Husband). No mama, only Anna looks nice. I can get an brother. Wowww am soo happy heyyy😍."

She looks so happy. How can I introduce her to him. We are not even in talking terms. Before I can explain to her that we can't meet him. She took hold of my hand and starting to move. Me in a shock state gone along with her. What the heck she is doing.

Oh god she is always  like that only. If she gets excitement she forget about other things. I keep on  calling her. But she didn't even budge. She is having more strength in spite of my big appearance she is having the upper strength here.

We entered into the lift. She just pressed the 20th floor. Oh god it is only for the ceo why she is doing this now. Ahhh....

The lift too is empty no one is there other than us. How comes as its an break time right. It should be overloaded. Then only I saw that notice board where it mentioned Private Lift.

Oh god what we are doing now. She even using the private lift only meant for CEO and board of members.

I just started to convince her. "Krithi please come on. Please, you know it right we are not in an speaking terms. Why are doing this now."

"Malar stop being an grandma. He won't say anything girl. He is your husband right"

Even after lots of trying she didn't accept anything. The lift opens. The floor is meant to be only for CEO and COO and his PA.

But his PA is missing I think soo. Because at the reception no one is present.

I couldn't take it anymore. So I just grabbed the krithi hand, but she just pulling me towards her. Me wearing saree didn't do any justice. As I kept on stumbling.

She just knock the door, which seems to be an CEO which means an Aaditya room.

How comes we didn't had any interruption while we visiting the CEO.  Always I heard. It needs an appointment right. Ufff

I heard an voice which says "Come in". Oh god. What am going to do now. All because of this krithi. Why am having her as my friend😭.

She opened the door. That's it am dead. He is going to give us an long lecture or else an scold. That's for sure. She again took the hold of my hand and entered the room.

There sitting in the rolling chair My husband and Aarav too present in the room. He is sitting in the sofa.

After seeing me Aaditya and Aarav looked shocked.

I just started to sweat a lot in spite of an AC room. What am going to do now.

"Malar wants to see you. She is terribly missing you Anna" krithi said...

What the fuck she is saying now. I just looked at her in shock. She just smiled at me.

"No" I said instantly....

Both Aarav and Aaditya looking at me and her in confusion.

Okay what I have to do now. "She is Krithi my best friend. Who happens to work in this company. She wants to meet you in person. As she couldn't introduce herself in the marriage" I said to Aaditya.

He is having an cold look. Okay. Iam dead for sure. Krithi I will take care of you..... Why God why I got an dumpest friend.

"Hi Krithi" Aaditya said. I looked shocked at him.

Krithi smiled like an 1000 volt bulb. She showed her hand for handshake. I thought he wont shook hand with her.

But he shooked. Why he always giving me an heart attack. I thought of grabbing her and goes out from here.

But alas how the heck Krithi will just leave from here. She is here to do more damage that's for sure.

"Can I call you Anna" already she called him with that tag. Then why the heck she is asking now. Uff drama queen.

He just looking at her dumbfounded. Oh god. I know it is new for him. As in his family there is no girl other than his mom.

"Yeah" he said scratching his neck. Okay. Just like that he accepted her...

"But not inside the office and not before client. As you know we didn't disclose the marriage information. So yeah!"

Krithi is so happy. Right from her small age she wanted an older brother. But she being the only girl doesn't help her. Now when she got one. She literally had an tears in her eyes. Okay she is so emotional type more than me. Always started to cry. Such an cry baby. I started to console her. She said thanks to me. I just nodded my head.

Aarav seeing this scene in an amused expression. I asked krithi "Shall we leave now krithi. As its already getting late." she just nodded her head

She said bye to her beloved Anna😒. I just nodded my head towards him and Aarav. Still now I didn't spoke with Aarav.

When I started to move out. Aaditya said "Stop"

What now. Me and krithi instantly stopped.

"Krithi can you and Aarav can wait outside just for a minute" he said to them. What he is speaking.

"Okay Anna! You continue your romance. We will wait outside" krithi said to him. What the fuck is she saying. She knows about our relationship except that wedding night incident. But how comes she say like we are going to do  romance.

He even have the audicity to nod at her. Why he is like this. Ufff

When she and Aarav gone.

Aaditya came towards me. Oh god is he again going to slap me for doing g

This stunt. Please no no. So in an fear I instantly  placed my hand in my cheek for the safety. I looked in his eyes he looks guilty.

Okay then he won't going to slap me. With my new found confidence. I took my hand from the cheek. He looks okay now. He just came near me. And again I started to walk back.

"Stop" he ordered me. I too stopped there itself.

And I looked at him confusedly. He came near to me. He stopped just right in front of me. Oh god he might around above 6 feet. I was exactly at his chest level. We both are now standing with an few inches gap only.

He took some of my hair which is falling in front of my eyes and placed it  above like an puff. What he is doing. Then only It striked me. He might have seen my vermilion partition. So he thought of hiding. He could have said it right. Uffff.

I just said thanks. He nodded his head.

I thought of going out now. But before I could goes out, he get hold of mine. What's with today all are holding my hand. What now!. I just raised my eyebrow.

"The nuptial chain can be seen by anyone." it's what he said. Thank god atleast he seen this. Or else what would I have say to them.

I turn around and adjusted it.

I said "Thanks for all. Mainly for not getting irritated at krithi. And am sorry for causing you an trouble. This will not happen again".

"It's okay" he said.

"Use private lift" he said to me again. I just nodded and goes out from there.

When I came out of the room. There krithi and Aarav were speaking like an long last friends. Okay

I asked her "Shall we leave now"

"yeah, how was the romance"

"Krithi come on" romance my foot.

I took hold of her hand. And used the private lift. When we reached our floor. All are immersed in their work. We reached our cabin and started to do our work. As if we didn't gone out for so long.

At lunch, me and krithi gone to canteen to have food. After that we had meeting with team lead. When we reached there. He again gives more amount of work to us. Work work....

Me and krithi done that. At evening as we planned, we both gone in her scooty to have pani puri which is in next street. When we reached there its already 6.30 we both started to have. I just have 5 that's it. I couldn't have more. But my cute krithi started to have more. After that we had fresh juice. And then we started to go. She left me in an bus stop. I waited for bus. After 5 mins I got the bus, then I reached home.

I then gone to my room and freshen up and changed into chudi top. I then gone to kitchen to put some coffee for me. When I prepared for me, I came out of the kitchen and sat in the sofa and started to have it. As mom said already they all had. Dad and mom too came and sit. They asked about my day. I said it was good. I asked her what I need to prepare for dinner. She said me to take rest. As I am the one who preparing for morning and afternoon. I argued with her. Atlast I said okay with her only with one condition that I will help her. She is such an kind hearted person.

We both prepared dinner. Around 8 clock. Aaditya too came. I prepared coffee and took it to his room. I knocked his room. He said come in. I gone to his room. There he is sitting and using his phone. Ufff

Always using an phone. I just cleared my throat. He looked up and raised his eyebrow. I showed him coffee. He asked me to kept it in the table near the bed. I kept it there.

I thought of going. But before that "First have some coffee, then do the work. Take care of your health first" saying this I gone out from there.

Around 9 clock all are gathered in an dinning room. I served all and sat next to Aaditya and started to have the dinner. After dinner, all retired to their room. I too gone to my room and started to chat with Nakul. He said that he had his dinner and currently studying for his exams. I said all the best to him. After saying goodnight to him. I just dozed off.

Aaditya pov:

Today is Monday, so the work mode starts. Ahhhh. I wokeup at 4.30. Then gone to the gym and done my exercise. After freshening up around 7 clock, mom came into my room with an coffee. She said "Your favourite coffee". I just smiled at her. And started to have it. I immediately knows it prepared by Malar.

Then I reached to dinning Hall. There she stood in saree. She is cooking even when she is going to work. I couldn't understand now. Is she an innocent or not. I know its need an time.

I just started to eat my breakfast. After that I gone to my room and changed into my work clothes. After getting ready. I came to the hall. Malar came with lunch bag and gave it to me. Whats now. "I packed the lunch for you and Aarav" she said slowly. I just got from her in shock. I mean she don't need to do this right.

When I seen her clearly, the thaali which I tied around her neck is not visible and even she didn't have the vermilion in her forehead. I get disappointed why I am not knows.

After that my mood goes off. I just reached the office and started to do the work. Around break time too we were working as a COO the Aarav and I started to do the discussion around the important  project. But I couldn't concentrate on it. I tried my best. Aarav too noticed it. But he didn't interfere in it. I know we only asked to hide the married information, but when I couldn't see her thaali and the vermilion I got mood off. Ufff.. Concentrate Aaditya. She might be an actor. She is also belongs to the gold digging family. Did you forget about it. Saying this I started to do the discussion.

While we are in an discussion, an knock disturbed us. I said "Come in" but I didn't expect it be an Malar and her friend to visit this boldly in my  cabin. Okay.

Krithi is her name. She started to call me as Anna. She seems to be an bubbly girl.

"Malar wants to see you. She is terribly missing you Anna" what malar missing me. Why she has to miss me. Before I could think anything.

Malar itself replied 'no' okay then she said about the krithi being wanted me to see in an person. And then that krithi girl asked can I call you Anna. I couldn't deny. As she is an malar friend. I don't why but I couldn't say no to her, but it's because of malar. She is constantly seeing krithi as if she wants to Choke her.

Then malar said they are having work. Already its being late. Then she started to move out. But I just stopped her. I asked both Aarav and krithi to wait outside.

Malar has an confused look. When krithi said something to me but I didn't hear it. I just nodded my head. But malar look mad at me. Oh god. What now.

Without much thought I just gone to stand before her, but she instantly covers her cheeks with her hand and started to move back. Oh god she is having an fear of me. Is am looking like an a monster. I don't want her to get fear of me. My mood instantly fell off.

I just stopped in my track. She opened her eyes and saw me. Then she removed her hand from her cheek. At that moment I felt soo happy. But I didn't express anything.

She again started to walk back. So I ordered her to stop. She instantly stopped there itself. She is not even upto my chest level. Oh my god. She looks damn cute. Without thinking much I took the hair which is falling on her face and kept it on the vermilion in the hair partition. When she came here the first thing I noticed is an the vermilion and her thaali. I thought she would have removed it as I asked her not to show off herself as a married woman. But I didn't think that she will hide it. I don't know why but I felt so happy. After seeing these symbols in her.

She looked confused at first and then looked surprise. She said thanks and  started to leave this place. Why the heck she always trying to leave from me.

I didn't allow her as I hold her hand she again asked by raising her eyebrow.

I said that the thaali can be seen by others. She instantly touched her thaali. She turned around and adjusted it within her blouse. Okay. Why she have to turn around. She could have done here itself right, I mean am her husband right. 'As if you have treated her like an wife"my inners self mocked me.

She then turn around and said thanks for speaking with krithi without getting irritation. I said okay to her.

Then I asked her to use the private lift. She just nodded and gone out from here. I just kept on looking what the heck is happened now.

With she being around me I behave like an different person. Because I won't ever start the conversation, but with her I don't want to end the conversation .

I even want her attention towards me. Uffff. Aaditya she can be an good actor. Remember that priya. She is her sister so maintain some distance dude.

After she left, Aarav came

"How was the romance man"

"What the fuck you were speaking"

"Your beloved sister only saying like that"

"Beloved sister"

"Yup krithi"

"She wants to have brother it seems. So I accept is there any wrong in it"

"Naah Man, but you won't do relationships right be it an anything. You even won't show your bromance towards your brother. That's why I asked man"

"That th..... I don't want to disappoint Malar"

"Aaditya are you serious, you started to like her" he asked with an bright smile.

"What no no, I mean she is the one who took care of my family right now. So for that I can do this right. Other than this nothing is there"

"If you say soo"

"How will I forget her family betrayals"

"What if she is an innocent"

"I don't know man, I don't think I can accept her as my wife.  She is not having an beauty right. I need my wife to have all the qualities buddy. She looks cute, other than that I don't get feel towards her"

"Leave beauty and all man. One day you will beg for her to love you. I will see that. She looks cute for you. Ahhh"

"Come on we have more work to do." saying this again we immeresed in the work.

For lunch Aarav thought of ordering from restaurant. But I said to him that Malar prepared the lunch for us.

He looked shocked, who will not.

Aarav too like her food very much. Recently he  can be seen around our home frequently, because of her food only. Not because of me. She prepared vegetable rice. It is yummy. We both ate it. Not even leaving an single rice.

After we lunch we again started to do the work. Evening around 8 I windup and gone from the office. As Aarav already leaved. I reached home and freshen up and sat on my bed. I have some more emails to reply. So I thought of doing it in mobile  rather than laptop. Someone knocked my door. I said come in. It's Malar. She cleared her throat. I raised my eyebrow. She said coffee. I said to  her place in the table.

"First have some coffee, then do the work. Take care of your health first" before leaving she said this and gone. I smiled instantly at her words. She always speaks whatever in her mind. After that I had my coffee. It is my fav one.

Then I reached to dinning Hall to have the dinner. After that I reached my room and started to do some more work. At 11 I windup everything. So I just laid down on the bed and dozed off.
