HIRING YOU AS MY WIFE

PART : 28 Charlie who?

Drishti's pov

He wrapped his arm around my waist and brought me dangerously close to himself, I wondered how could I breath being him so close to me. I never got intimate with anyone, hell I never dated so him being my first and crossing the level of being my husband already... things are quite new for me.

He narrowed his eyes at the foreigner standing in front of us. He must be in his late twenties,his height matched Rakshit's he was a good looking guy but the way Rakshit saw him I feel maybe they are not on good terms...I decided to ask about that to Rakshit later.

That man came close to us particularly to me. What on the earth is he trying to do? I was looking towards Mr Shergill and he just whispered...
" I am here don't worry" and those words were enough to clear my anxiety.

"Hello beautiful, this is Charlie Lestrad the H.O.D of the department under which Mr gills oops Mr Rakshit Shergill works" he brought his hands to mine for a handshake but I didn't budge...I am not getting good vibes from him.

"Oh... won't you introduce her to me gills?" He had a cunning smile on his face as he gestured Rakshit to introduce me to him.

"You are the H.O.D at office and this is not office. Hence, I am not obliged to answer your question on my personal life" he was shaking with anger while saying every word as I could feel him shaking as he was too close.

That Charlie Chaplin mocked a laugh at him.

" I got it... personal you say, well do you have anything personal other than sick mother, no father and dead sister."

That was it I saw Mr Shergill running towards a waiter and took a glass of red wine from the tray and then.....man he spilled it on him.

Charlie shouted what the hell and the public gathered there including the boss and Rohan Samaira.

"Oh I am really sorry I drenched your precious suit with your face, actually altogether. I think you should go and change. I don't know how but I was going to get tripped and in a hurry such an accident happened. I really wish I could undo that." Mr Shergill said with his sweetest voice and tight lipped smile.

Well....I know better he is not sorry not one bit. But I am impressed by the way he took his revenge.

Charlie could not do anything but say it's alright because obviously the boss was right there and none of them wanted to be in his bad books.

"Let's leave we need to be at home it's late" Mr Shergill came to me and dragged me out of the party.

Rohan and Samaira came along.

"Did he tried anything absurd this time as well?" Rohan queried once we four were out of the event.

"He just knows how to infuriate me" Mr Shergill asserted. I could feel the helplessness in his voice.
I couldn't help but move towards him and placed my hands on his shoulder...he instantly looked towards me as if wanted to say something but could'nt utter a word...and I decided to give him sometime.

"Let's go home...I need to check upon Riva" I insisted and he just nodded.

"Rohan drop Samaira home safely...no stunt or I"ll not hesitate to throw my most heavy punches on you" though his tone was warning but we all laughed knowing that Rohan would not do such a thing.

Samaira came towards me saying bye and I did the same...soon they left and then we went home.

As I opened the door, I heard laughters from mom's room as Rakshit was all pissed off, he requested me to check upon them as he did not want to show them his angry face and I understood.

I went to mom's room and saw mom and Riva laughing their heart out but at what ....the Charlie Chaplin's show... thank goodness Rakshit didn't enter here.

I informed mom about our arrival and it's then when she asked if I somehow got succeeded in making him drunk but as soon as I denied her face fell.

God! She is just like a kid no wonder Riva enjoys her company.

"Mom, I couldn't get him drunk but yeah....we danced together."

"He danced?" she eyed me suspiciously.

"Um..yeah we both actually" I answered.

"What do you think I am five?" she didn't believe me.

"Mom, I am telling the truth beleive me. His boss forced us to perform couple dance so we had no choice."

"Seriously...I love such bosses" she exclaimed in happiness.

"Mom" I blurted out horrified after got reminded of Riva's presence their.

"Okay...I can't help being overdramatic. Riva you said you were missing your Drishi mami...what's wrong now?" As I heard that I averted my attention to Riva.

I took slow steps towards her and I leaned towards her to match her height.

"Hey..cutie pie I missed you too, don't I get a hug?"

"I wished to hug you the minute you enter but you look beautiful in saree I didn't want to crush your saree" she said in her childlike voice and I didn't wait to carry her in my arms.

Screw saree...she is more important to me than the cloth.

"Drishi mami loves you more than anything always remember" I whispered in her ears and she smiled and hugged me tighter.

"Yeah yeah.... everyone loves everything in my house but no one cares about the old but beautiful landlady" mom whined to which I and Riva laughed.

I went towards her with Riva in my arms and hugged her.

"We love you too" I and Riva said in unison.

"Awe...why do I feel sudden urge of crying. Do you think I should stop watching daily soaps?" She asked me.

"Yes, definately" I nodded and she agreed.
I missed Riva so much that I decided to let her sleep in our room today.

When we entered inside I saw Rakshit asleep. So I gently made Riva sit on the bed and went to change.

As I came out I saw her standing at the door with colour sketch pens in her hand.

Why did she bring them in the middle of night?

"Why did you bring that dear?"

"I feel bored" as she completed her statement I come up with a evil idea.

" Let's sketch on your Mamu"

"Sketch on what?" she asked again feeling unsure.

"You heard me...on your Mamu" I pulled her to Rakshit's side and and and .....

We created world's most hilarious sketch.

We both silently laughed at what we did but I know....

Morning will be more fun😉.
