Chapter 84

Chaitra smiled at the way he addressed her as wifey and before he could speak further she sat on his lap and wrapped her arm around his neck. Vimal was shocked by her boldness and Chaitra smirked tracing his cheek with her finger.

Chaitra: Tell me hubby dear, how did you know its my wish ?

Vimal: Don’t be dispoointed with my answer. I didn’t know it was your wish but I just loved that idea of living in a cozy home and living a happy a life with my wife. When I decided to divorce her and find a place to live, I had too many options like you said but I wanted a place where I could find my peace. That is when I got reminded of those wishlist I read. I was not expecting for any romance but I felt, I will be at peace living in such a home so I informed dad and the real estate agents about my wish. Dad found this place and wanted to me have a look and trust me, I instantly fell in love and immediately bought this for me.

Chaitra: What would have you done if you had not found the paper that day ? What would have been your choice if not this home ?

Vimal: I don’t know, may be I would have gone back to my parents or left the country for a while.

Chaitra moved away and sat next to him and yanked the remote from his hand changing it to her favourite series. Vimal wasn’t over from the shock of her sitting on his lap a few seconds ago but he cleared his throat and composed himself.

Vimal: Tell me about your work and why do you work from home ?

Chaitra: My manager is a pervert and I hate seeing him so I work from home until I find a job. I have applied and attended the interview too, just waiting for the result or I will try with some other company.

Vimal: Did he trouble you ? what is his name ?

Chaitra: You know where I work ?

Vimal: Yes, after the day I met you at the beach I tried to be sure that you were safe so I did find your workplace but I didn’t cared about the people worked with you since you worked from home most of the time. Now answer me, or should I find on my own ?

Chaitra: Aww hubby dear, cool down, that is not needed because you are right that I don’t visit office unless it is for an emergency meeting.

Vimal: Do you mind if I offer you to work at our office ? I m not trying to be dominant or be controlling. You know…just… I mean.. your choice, you are welcome to work with me.

Chaitra: Would you let me work as your PA and we shall romance like those CEO and PA type of romance from stories.

Vimal picked a pillow and threw on her and Chaitra burst out laughing on seeing his ears that had turned red.

Vimal Mv: I don’t think she will let me wait any longer.

Vimal: You haven’t answered my question yet or if you need time then my offer is open for you to join anytime.

Chaitra: People would be saying that I joined using my husband’s influence and not with my talents.

Vimal: I know you don’t give a damn about what people think of you so be straight if you want to deny working with me. Also its not like you are a third person, you are my wife, the CEO’s wife so obviously you have all rights to be a part of the business.

Chaitra: Vimal, I wanted to ask you something. Do you have any feel or to be precise, a fear that I might leave you and demand a huge amount or atleast half of your wealth ? Let me remind you that we don’t have a prenup signed ?

Vimal: Are you have plans on leaving me already ?

Chaitra: I gave you a chance to get rid of me from your life but you asked for us to be together and now there is no going back. Either you will live and love or …..

Vimal: Or what ? you will kill me ?

Chaitra: No, you will love and live with me and there is no option so be wise and accept me as your wife.

Chaitra pecked his cheek and continued watching her series. Vimal touched his cheek and felt his heart thudding against his rib cage.

Chaitra: I m ready to work for you.

Vimal smiled on hearing her words and prayed god to let him fall in love with her.

He picked his mobile and Chaitra saw him looking at something and smiling. She tried to peek but he hid his mobile and glared at her. She gave a sheepish smile and let him be on his own. In a minute she heard a notification and grabbed her mobile to check it. She gasped in shock and her jaw dropped in surprise on seeing the post from Vimal on his social media account. He had tagged her posting their wedding photo and changed his status from single to married.

Chaitra: Aren’t you worried people might talk behind you for marrying in such a short period after your divorce ?

Vimal: I don’t give a fuck about others. I think these are the baby steps towards accepting you and our relationship. Also let everyone know that you are married, especially that pevert manager.

Chaitra: Jealoust suits you well hubby dear but don’t worry, I will quit my job and for that I will have to meet him at office.

Vimal: Don’t bother meeting him to quit the job. I will take care of that and you just enjoy your life.

Chaitra: You are spoiling me too much already but you say, you wanted time. I think you are confused or something else is bothering you. I mean you are scared that I might think that you are hurrying in our relationships.

Vimal: No, you are wrong.. no.. you are rignt… I mean partially right but I need some time to reveal everything.

Chaitra hummed and they continued to watch the series.

Aadhi and Rishi arrived at Raghavan’s home and they were welcomed with a warm hug from the family. Vani held Aadhi’s hand and sat next to her with a smile.

Vani: Did you visit the doctor Aadhi ?

Aadhi: We did aunty, me and baby both are fine. We thought of meeting you and we have something to say too.

Raghavan, Vani and their grandpa looked at them and Aadhi nod her head Rishi cleared his throat.

Rishi: Vimal got married the day before yesterday.

Rishi explained everything happened at Chaitra’s wedding and the way the duo got married. There was deadly silent and Rishi, Aadhi looked at everyone’s face but they couldn’t decipher anything.

Rishi: Dad, mom say something. We can’t expect Vimal to be single all his life and the situation wasn’t in his favour and he had to marry her.

Aadhi: Grandpa, he was there to attent the wedding but..

Grandpa: Don’t worry Aadhi, we are happy for him. Its not like he commited a mistake. He suffered a lot and if life is giving him a chance, let him move on.

Raghavan: I will talk to him and wish him personally Aadhi, we are happy for him. Just worried that he got married in such a way.

Aadhi relaxed and Rishi smiled on seeing her. Vani served refreshments and they chatted for a while.

Aadhi: Aunty, did you try to meet Manjari ?

Vani: We were there at the asylum last week but as usual she refused to meet us. I gave the clothes and her favourite food and sweets to the warden. She said the last time I gave the food Manjari never touched them.

Aadhi: Don’t worry aunty, she is undergoing treatment and will eventually understand us all. She will come around soon.

Raghavan: Doctor said the same. He said she does co operate for the treatment and there is no hurdle in that.

Aadhi: Does, she speak with other people at the asylum ?

Raghavan: Not many but she does speak with few people. We spoke to those peopl and they said she doesn’t speak a word about family or herself. They just chat in general and comment about other’s life. She even speak to their family members and eat their food.

Aadhi:  Keep visiting and let her realize that you are not giving up on her.

Vani hummed and she informed the maids to prepare dinner for the family. Rishi and his father were playing video games and Aadhi, grandpa were supporting and encouraging them.

Rishi: Dad, you have improved this time.

Raghavan: I won’t be able to win you unless Aadhi stops training you.

Aadhi: Uncle, trust me , I haven’t played with him for the whole week. I think he plays at time after I fall asleep.

They had dinner with as a family and later Rishi drove to a beach and spent some time. They walked by the shore holding hands for a while before they returned home. Aadhi entered the washroom followed by Rishi. He got rid of his clothes before he helped her get rid of her clothes. He pecked her lips before he crouched down and kissed her baby bump.

Rishi: Hi baby, how are you ? are you happy today ? Once you are born we shall go to the beach and play together. Love you and my Aadhu.

He held her hand hand guided her to the shower cubicle. Aadhi watched him wash her like he was bathing a delicate doll and when his palms touched her bosom his movements turned sensual and he was teasing her. Aadhi unable to hold back moaned while he cupped bosoms looking into her eyes.

Rishi: They have grown a little and I m just imagining how full it would be once our baby is born.

Aadhi: Dirty monkey, our baby will be hearing everything so have some filter.

Rishi: I never mentioned what I am refering to so our baby will not understand what I meant.

He continued to tease her and Aadhi felt him poke on thigh. His fingers touched her clit and before she knew he pushed his fingers inside her. Aadhi gasped and leaned on to his chest. Her hands touched his shaft and they worked in unison kissing and teasing each other until they reach their high.

Rishi cleaned her and wrapped a towel around her before he draped a towel around his waist and they returned to the room. They got changed into their simple night clothes and cuddled to sleep.

At Vimal and Chaitra’s home they had dinner and sat on the bed scrolling through their mobile. Vimal was replying some messages from his PA and Chaitra was watching reels. Vimal saw her smiling and he gulped on seeing the camisole she was wearing.

On seeing Vimal place his mobile on the night stand, Chaitra placed her mobile ready to sleep. Vimal was about to lay down but Chaitra stopped him and hugged him gently. Vimal was so shocked to her actions and Chaitra kissed his forehead before she laid on her side and covered herself with a duvet.

Chaitra: You agreed for the conditions hubby dear and we are suppose to cuddle but I will give you time still gentle hugs and forehead kisses are mandatory. Try to reciprocate hubby dear, now good night and sweet Chaitra dreams.

Vimal choked on hearing her say about dreams and Chaitra frowned patting his head.

Chaitra: Why do you always choke to everything I say ?

Vimal Mv: Only if you knew my state, god…give me senses to differentiate between dream and reality please.

Vimal: Good night Chaitra.

Chaitra closed her eyes and Vimal placed his arm over his eyes to cover the sight of anything or her shoulder in particular.

Morning Vimal woke up first and saw Chaitra was sleeping hugging him. Her head was resting on his arm and her head was over his chest. His heart started beating eratically and his chest heaved to the proximity. He gulped hard as her fragrance hit his nostrils and he tried to get out of her hold but she was clinging on to him.

Vimal Mv: What would she think on seeing us sleeping like this ?

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly got down without disturbing her sleep. He sighed in relief and rushed to the bathroom to get ready. He wore a shorts and t shirt for the day and entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast. While he was done and setting the table Chaitra arrived fresh dressed in a summer gown and she looked sinfully beautiful in his eyes. He quickly averted his gaze and placed plates for them. He expected her to sit for breakfast but Chaitra hugged him with a smile and kissed his cheek.

Chaitra: Good morning Hubby dear. Do you feel uncomfortable with my hugs and kisses ?

Vimal: No..

Chaitra: Then why don’t you reciprocate the hug hubby and one of the main reason god has given two hands is to hug your beautiful wife.

Vimal hugged her gently and he was careful to hold her in safe places alone which made Chaitra chuckle. She pulled back from the hug and they got settled to have breakfast. As per her conditions she started serving him and Vimal served her and they had breakfast together.

Vimal couldn’t deny the way his heart fluttered to her hugs, kisses and the way she spoke and treated him. His lips curved into a smile but he hid that and started focusing on his breakfats.
