CHAPTER 13: NAINA

Y'all are getting back to back updates. Lmao.
I can't study lol, I am unable to.
All day I think about writing chapters.
So here it is.
--------

I was walking downstairs, I had put on a concealer over my hickey to hide it. While walking towards the dining table my eyes met his and a blush creeped up to my cheeks. I broke the eye contact and moved towards the kitchen where Maa and Sakshi were making food while gossiping. They noticed me and gestured me to come in.

Maa left us alone and advised us to talk. There was an awkward silence in the kitchen and Sakshi took the lead to break it.

"So how is your relationship with Mahir going?" She asked whole stirring this vegetables.

"It's good. We're talking things slow but at this stage everything seems to be fine."

"That's great Naina. Mahir has always been the reserved one, and by coming into his life if you change him into a better person what else do we need?"

I chuckled weirdly, she was sweet and sensible, contrary to what my thoughts were about her. I mentally cursed myself for even thinking bad about her at the first place without getting to know her.

We both talked and she seemed genuine.
Settling the table and arranging the meals, we waited for everyone to settle on their respective chairs.

I was about to sit on my chair when a hand on my shoulder stopped me. "Naina may I pleasee sit beside Mahir?!" My grip on the chair loosened and I looked at Mahir ji before giving out a weird smile and stepping back from my place.

Be a good wife.

I sat next to maa, right in front of Mahir ji who eyed me but didn't say anything. I was silently watching them eat and gossip while giggling. My hunger had already died down and maybe I should have let the hickey be there.

"Naina, where do you work?!" I lifted my head up to see Sakshi's eyes on me.

"I work at the Jindal's as a marketing head."

She nodded her head and continued to eat her food.

"What do you do?" I asked her out of nowhere.

"I am a fashion designer, currently working with JK group."

I nodded.

"JK Group as in Jay kishan right?"
Mahir ji asked while I looked at them.

"Yes."

"We have a meeting with them today, if we crack this deal, it would a huge profit for our company."

"That's great, I might get to see you too, so YOU HAVE TO CRACK THIS DEAL" everyone chuckled on the table except for me who gave the most pretentious laugh possible.

-

Packing my bag, I was about to head out when maa stopped me.

"Are you again going by a cab?"

"Yes maa."

"You have a husband dear, he is your driver."

I chuckled and nodded.

"Wait I'll call him and order him to drop you off."

"No maa, it's completely fine."

"MAHIR? MAHIR COME DOWN!"

I saw him come out of the room and walk downstairs.

"Yes maa?"

"Take your wife to her office."
