Chapter 47:


Abhimanyu's POV:

I have spent three weeks thinking of how to bring back Ishita's memories of me or even make her fall for me again. It will be hard to make her remember me without knowing her trauma or what might trigger her memories and in what way and it will be equally hard to make her forget about the way I behaved with her at the start.

But I just cannot give up, I need to have her in my life, I cannot live without her. When she left me three years ago I was barely surviving, she gives meaning to my existence.

"Abhimanyu" her voice brought me back to reality. Her presence makes my reality better than my thoughts or dreams. The way my name rolls off her tongue each time gives me shivers. I can never get tired of her listening to call me by my name.

"Ishita, you are in the office and it's still working hours. You are supposed to call me sir. Don't forget I am your boss."

"You should check the time. It's lunch hours and I am here to meet my husband. So if you don't mind sir can I meet him now?"

This is the reason I love messing with her. She looks so adorable when she is irritated.

"Okay, tell me. What is it that got you so excited that you couldn't stop yourself from seeing your husband"

"I got my first paycheck. Technically, it's not my first paycheck but it's my first in this office. So I wanted to treat you. Make sure you complete all your work on time. Okay bye," she kissed me on the cheek and left the office as hurriedly as she came.

She has been doing this a lot lately kissing me on the cheek that is. It started after that day in the office, she first started casually holding my hands while walking, hugging me whenever I reached home after her. I'd be lying if I said I don't like it. But she never goes beyond that and I don't want to do anything that will make her retreat herself so I just let her take control of the pace. Honestly, at this point, I'll take whatever I get, I just want her to be by my side.

I was busy checking the last few things on my list of today's tasks when she barged into my room again.

"Abhimanyu, I told you to complete all your work before 7"

"Yes darling, it's just 7:01 and I have just this last thing to complete, give me just 10 minutes, and then I'll be yours"

"So you are not mine at this moment?"

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I know you are doing this to distract me. But biwi this will only make us late for whatever plan you have."

"No, it will not. You will stop whatever you are doing this instant or I am going alone."

I take one final look at the mail I was sending but before I could press send Ishita closes my laptop with a loud thud and takes it away.

"Ishita, I was almost done. I have to send this mail, it's urgent. Give me just 2 mins" I say getting up and trying to get my laptop back from her.

"How much loss will you incur if you don't send this mail right now?"

"1 million"

"How much money do you have?"

"Some billions"

"See, not important"

"Really? 1 million is not important."

"Okay, go back to your important 1 million. And me your not-so-important wife is leaving." She bumped my shoulders knowingly while moving past me, I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me before she could leave.

"Leave me Abhimanyu" I took the laptop from her and kept it on the desk all the while keeping her in my arms.

"You are most important to me," I say looking into her eyes. They are glaring at me with anger but I still feel at peace whenever she looks at me.

"You have a great way of showing that," she said and looked away from me.

"I am sorry. Nothing comes above you and I'll prove it to you with every chance I get." I make her look at me.

"You have 5 minutes, to complete your work I am waiting outside."

I started following her outside but she stopped me.

"What now you don't have work?"

"Nah, nothing important than you"

"Abhimanyu, I am serious complete your work. It's important"

"Not more than you."

"I know, and it's 1 million. That's a lot of money so go now," she said her mock angry tone

"You wanted me to stop working a few seconds ago. How can you change your mind so quickly?"

"I was just making you choose to feel important. Now that I do, you can go back to your work."

"Okay, but I am not done making you feel important."

"I just said that I feel important"

"No, not until you need these tactics to make you feel important. I'll keep on working to make you feel important till the day you know it without these power plays that you are important to me every minute, every second of the day."
