FLAMES: Of Revenge And Love

41. BORED

Author's POV

" I want to go with you tomorrow." Aradhya said as both of them were laid on their bed for the night.
" Where? " He asked, pulling her close.

" Office. " She answered as she snuggled more into him, as if trying to erase the distance of two days.
" Why? " He asked, not getting the reason behind her request.

" I'm bored. " Her answer stunned him but he could guess it, she had never been the one to stay idle for long. But still one thing worried him, " What about your nap? "

" I'll come back early. " Aradhya had planned it, she knew it too that she wants her nap and her time with their mom, so she won't compromise with it no matter what happens.
" Sure? "
" Uh hn. "
" Good. " He said before both of them fell asleep.

The next morning, Aradhya decided to forego her saree and settled for a salwar kameez instead, still making her husband stumped to his spot.
He even urged her to change thinking everyone will stare at her but when he remembered that they'll stare no matter what she wears he stopped, deciding that he'll have to protect his wife from those evil eyes.

Aradhya hadn't just gone to the office to accompany him, she needed some work to do so without even asking she went to crack the firewall of their security system. No later than 10 minutes there was an alarm blaring in the technical department about the breach in their first line of defence but as they tried to trace it they found that it wasn't stealing any information but rather strengthening their firewalls.

Someone from the technical department reported it to Rudraksh and he waved it off saying, " Let it be. Don't interrupt in between. "

The person from the department wasn't satisfied, so he went to find Abhimanyu, who replied in the same manner. So the person had no other option than to wait defeatedly for the intruder to leave.

In his office, Abhimanyu saw how concentrated she looked at her task, she had brought her own system with her before coming and even though he had guessed that she'll do something like this, his surprise wasn't any less from those of the tech department.

He got back to his work too while she had settled on the couch opposite him, when he saw her rubbing her neck uncomfortably he realised how wrong her posture was, she had to bend too much to access her laptop, so he got up from his chair and got to the couch himself while saying, " Take the chair love. "

" Hmm.. " She didn't stand on ceremony or anything, she picked up her laptop and took the seat he was previously on and visibly relaxed. Abhimanyu made a note to get another table in his cabin.

A while later when his assistant came to get his sign on something, he was surprised to see his boss on a couch and his wife on the chair but his experience made him restrain himself and he excused himself after his work was done. And as it was already afternoon, he had to feed her too before dropping her home.

Abhimanyu was done before Aradhya was done, people exaggerate when they say that hackers can do anything in a minute, it takes a lot of time to even breach a firewall much rather strengthen it.

Abhimanyu got up and went behind her to see her typing a string of codes, he had learned computers before but not enough to understand the strings she had written and her speed surpassed his.

" Take a rest, love. " He muttered as he held her shoulders.
" I'm just fixing the second line of defence, two minutes more. " She replied without moving her gaze from the screen.
" Is it so bad? " He asked again as he realised that she was still repairing the second line.
" Yeah. " Aradhya had no concept of sweetening her words or anything and thus the truth came out like a jab.
