I was twelve when I decided to be financially independent as I considered that no matter how much I earned - in thousands or lakhs, I would never allow myself to ask for a penny from anyone, my family included except if any unwanted and unavoidable situation arises.
Garv wanted me to resign from the job ever since we received those anonymous letters, but the thought of sitting at home and even for my basic personal maintenance, I have to look for my husband's help, gnawed at my mind.
I know it isn't wrong being a homemaker, as my mumma is one too but I never wished to compromise my dreams after my parents invested so much in my education.
"Ava, Karan Sehgal is here to meet you."
Garv's voice diverted my attention to his presence, standing on the threshold and his hands shoved in his pants pocket.
"Why?" I asked, arranging my bag as I was returning to my duty after two weeks' leave.
"For your reception outfit," he informed and turned to head back to the living room.
I slung my bag over my shoulder, rechecked my uniform, tied my shoes, and pinned my name badge over my shirt's pocket.
"Good morning, Mrs.Chauhan," a man wearing a gray shirt stood as I entered.
"Good morning Mr.Sehgal" I greeted, taking a seat on the sofa across from them.
"Garv, your wife deserves a week off from her duty. That's not a right gesture from your side," he pointed, glancing at my husband sitting beside him.
"Karan, mere naye base huye ghar par aag na lagao" He spoke in a light tone. His hand gestured Hriday to get us coffee from Shyam Bhaiya.
(Karan, don't try to create an issue between us)
"I won't. Don't worry about that. Well, Mrs.Chauhan" Mr.Sehgal glimpsed at me, asking his secretary to hand me the tab.
"You can call me, Avantika," I said with a smile as she handed me the tab.
"Okay, Avantika. She is Yashvi. My secretary. We would like to collaborate with you for our upcoming collection," he revealed his purpose of coming over here.
"How am I related to it? I'm not a celebrity" I raised the question, thinning my eyebrows at them.
Mr.Sehgal grinned before speaking "Your reception is next week. We would be honored if you chose our brand for your outfit. We've handed over to you the tab to go through the designs from our new collection - Shringar"
Following Yashvi's instructions, I checked the details of the outfit that they wanted me to wear on the day.
"Avantika, there's no compulsion from our side. If you agree to it, we will send the outfit by evening so you can have a trial," he added as I contemplated discussing with Garv as I'm a nonnative to this star-studded lifestyle and the entire process of marketing.
