Her
It is my first day in the office. For the past one week maams and i had video calls everyday in which he would teach me everything, updated me about all the proceedings, our important partners, banking details, so on and so forth.
I am a much more knowledgeable and confident than i was a week before. Not just maama but also my uncles explained and taught me a lot of things during this time period.
It is also them along with Karthi who accompany me to the head office where my cabin is kept ready, right next to maama's CEO cabin. I am then introduced to all the main heads before officially meeting with all the staffs working inside the building in the common stage and then visiting our factories and units one by one for the whole day.
It is dinner when everything gets over and we return home. There are still a few factories we haven't visited and a ton lot of documents. The first thing I do after refreshing is call maams who just listens to how I talk about my day with a proud look on his face.
"I don't know when I would be able to settle down" i huff as i end my rant.
"Worry not Mayil. Take your time. There is absolutely no rush. It is just that I am not physically present there, so I will do whatever i can from here but i would need you to be there and inspect the proceedings and sign important documents after going through them" he says in a soothing voice.
"When will you come back maama ?" I ask, craving his presence.
"I wanna know that too. Amma's health is improving, the doctor hasn't said about the length of the treatment time. As soon as she is completely recovered, i'll be there in no time" he says making me hum.
"Also, keep Karthi as your assistant till I return. He will accompany you everywhere and help you out with everything. But i advice you to slowly grow out of it and become independent in making your decisions or handling stuff around" he says as my eyes get droopy.
"Go sleep" he says with a chuckle.
"Hmm good night maams" i say before cutting the call and directly falling into a deep slumber, tiredness consuming me.
The next one week is only filled with factory visits and documents. It is after that that we had a meeting with the board of directors and our partners. Since maams joined through online he took the lead, spoke and managed 3/4th of the meeting while i spoke for the rest regarding recent updates.
Surprisingly and thankfully there wasn't any problem and nobody argued.
Everything was good until maams didn't pick my calls or answer any of my messages for a whole day. It completely ruined my mood that i was so angry and upset the next day.
Plus i got severe headache and was in the verge of giving up at around 11 in the morning in my cabin as i rubbed my temples.
To top it all tiger balm still hasn't come to my cabin. I sent Karthi to bring it one hour ago and he isn't attending my calls.
I get up and and march outside angrily, walking towards Karthi's cabin. When i open and enter it is empty.
"Where the fck did he go ?" i mutter.
He literally disappeared after that. That evening when i go home i see that neither him nor his car are there.
"Where did this duffer Karthi go ? I sent him to buy me tiger balm at 10 in morning and he just completely disappeared" i say to Divya as i enter her room.
"Last time he called me he told me that he is going somewhere with his friends and it was around 10:30 in the morning" she replies, frowning with confusion.
"Ah that idiot ! He could have at least informed" i say making her chuckle.
"Anyways, im not feeling well. Gonna take a bath and sleep, i don't want dinner" i say.
"Nooo. I will bring you the food to your room" she says as she stands up and side hugs me.
"No Divya not today, i just need some good rest" i say as i hug her back.
We chat for two minutes before i go to my room, freshen up and dose off.
In the middle of the night i hallucinate someone very warm hugging me and me hugging them as i sleep more comfortably out of all the tiredness.
"Hmm" i groan as the morning sunlight hits my face, i turn around and hug the warm pillow to my body which surprisingly covers my head.
"Koosudhu di (it is tinkling)" i hear a familiarly deep voice say making my whole body shiver as all my senses come alive.
"What the..." i say as i immediately sit upright, looking at the sleeping yet smiling face of maams, sleeping next to me on my bed wearing just his shorts and banian.
"OH MY GOD MAAMAAAA" i scream as i jump ontop of him and kiss his whole face (except his lips of course) while literally biting his cheek at the end.
"Aaaah valikudhu di (it is paining)" he says making me pull back with a smile.
"Maama" i heave a dreamy sigh looking at his face before hugging him, burying my face in his chest, i didn't feel it back then but now i am embarassed about kissing him unexpectedly without his permission and self-control.
"You know why I gave you the position ?" he asks making me pull back and look at his face, shaking my head as no.
He is also sitting right now but the thing is i am sitting on his lap, my thighs wrapped around his torso, almost in a cowboy position.
"Because Mayil *holds my cheeks with both his hands* these two years with and without you , i realised how perfectly you fit into my other empty half. Respecting my boundaries while being there for me at the same time. In the time i spent with you here i saw a responsible and sincere woman who is ready to do anything for her loved ones, not the impulsive little girl who i saw you as all these years. It made me realise that it is a side that you haven't shown to or for anyone. It made me realise that not only am I special to you but just how much special you are to me. Mayil i am a person who believes that personality is what enhances a person's beauty and you made it true. You are the same Mayil as you were two years ago but right now, you look like the most beautiful girl in the whole world, which you are for me. These past few months that i spent in UK, every girl that i saw were disappointing because they weren't you. They weren't my Mayil. I really wanted to have you in my arms the first time i see you again but i wanted to surprise you. So i waited for a few painful hours of travel and then freshening up before diving into your bed and hugging you to me like a second skin in your sleep. I swear i can't bear to live with the pain of not telling you all of this, living away from you or ever see another woman because you are all that is in my heart and soul" he says as tears run down my cheek while his eyes turn glossy themselves.
"I love you di pondatti (wifey)" he says in a whisper, his voice cracking making a sob come out of my mouth before i hug him tightly, both of us hugging each other like our lives depended upon it.
"I love you too maams" i say into his chest, loving every second of this.
It was, indeed, worth all the wait.
Happy Diwali babesss 😘
