Embracing The Unexpected

Chapter-5 Lighting

Iti got up as the sunrays entered their room and she sighed because she didn't want to get up,it was so freaking cold here!

She turned and found the other side of the bed empty.

He woke up earlier than her, yesterday also she hadn't seen him in the room when she woke up.

She decided to get up and have a bath and get ready for the day.She can't be late for breakfast,Nanisa Hukum might not like it after all.

After having a warm bath,she changed into a simple saree and took a shawl with it because of the cold weather.She checked herself in the mirror and immediately took the vermilion box and applied vermilion in her hair partition,she didn't wanted to be scolded by his Nanisa at all.

She went downstairs but found nobody in the living room.She frowned at that.

"Ranisa,Ranimaa bahar garden mein h,aaj naashta wahi hoga,aapka hi intezaar kr rahi h woh"A staff member said as she came towards her.

Iti nodded hearing that and made her way towards the garden,she found Nanisa Hukum sitting on the dining table placed at the garden.

She quickly made her way towards her and stood in front of Nanisa Hukum not knowing what to say.

Nanisa Hukum turned her gaze towards Iti but didn't say anything making the poor girl more nervous.

"G..Go..Good Morning Nanisa Hukum"Iti said then because it didn't seem nice to not greet her.

"Good morning,bethiye"Nanisa Hukum said and Iti slipped into a chair beside her as she sat on the head chair.

She still didn't see her husband and that made her furrow her eyebrows in confusion.

Were they going to start without him?

"Pratap ko bulaiye,unse kahiye baadmein practice kare apni,hum intezar kr rahe h unka"Nanisa said to one of the staff members who nodded and left.

"Shuru kijiye aap"Nanisa said to Iti as another staff served them their breakfast.

Iti nodded and waited for her to eat first and then began having her breakfast.

A few moments later,Shiv walked towards them in long black boots,his hands covered in hand gloves and a helmet he removed and kept in his hand.

He washed his hands in a bowl the staff brought for him and sat with his wife and grandmother to have his breakfast.

"Kab h aapka agla match?"Nanisa Hukum asked him.

Iti didn't know what they were talking about so she just sat their listening to their conversation.

"Agle hafte h Nanisa Hukum"Shiv said as he too started having his breakfast after the staff served him.

"Iti ko bhi saath le jaiyega isbaar"Nanisa Hukum said and Shiv nodded at that making Iti confused.

Where did she had to go now?

But she still didn't asked them anything and sat quietly having her breakfast.

"Iti...aapki qualifications kya h?"Nanisa Hukum asked because Iti was young and so she thought she might still be studying.

"Hum CA h Nanisa Hukum"Iti said making the older lady surprised.

Okay,an intelligent girl she was then!

"Toh kaam kaha krti h aap?family business mein hi involved h aap?"His Nanisa Hukum asked and Iti shook her head in denial.

She had never worked before,well she had worked at Sehgal Office on the insistence of her chote dadu and Maahi bhui but she had left it after not finding the business world interesting and challenging and after that she hadn't taken up any other work so she was unemployed in a way.
