Siya's Pov
"What was mom saying?" Kanishk asks.
"She called to invite us to Goa for Holi next week," I inform him and waited to see his reaction.
Will he cancel it by saying it is a waste of time or will he go?
"Oh," he says and stands up asking for a washroom to wash his hands.
Oh. 'Oh' was his reaction to his mother's request, and I thought he only reacted that way to avoid the honeymoon.
I saw him come out and I went in next to wash off my hands after my exit I see him trying to clean up the table.
"Just leave it, I'll ask someone to clean it up," I say, seeing him struggle to arrange the plate.
"Oh, okay," he says and stands back up and faces me, and suddenly everything went silent.
"Um, so I will book my tickets for Thursday, I don't know if I'll get one on that day with all this festive season," I say and he looked at me as if I had lost my mind.
"Book your tickets?" He repeats my words and I nod my head.
"Yeah, you know there will be a rush so I can't afford not to get a ticket," I say, and he stares at me.
"Why am I being excluded from this?" he asks and I look at him confused.
"Because I thought you might not want to come," I say and he just sighs.
"Siya, I'm coming, and don't worry, I'll book both of our tickets," he says and I look at him surprised.
"Are you sure? I'm going to go there three days before the Holi," I ask again because I don't want him complaining that why we are going so early when the Holi is next week.
"Three days?" he asks as if he just realized that it will be three days of missing work.
"Yes, that's why I said I will book my tickets alone," I say.
"But why are you going so early? You know it's just going to be all the relatives and gossip, maybe just stay here and we will go a day before Holi?" he asks and I look at him suspiciously.
Why was he stopping me from going?
"It will be fun, also mom said that I didn't stay with them after marriage and I will just hand over my work to Vihaan for a week, I trust him," I say.
"You trust Vihaan to handle a whole company for a week?" he asks surprised and I nod my head.
"Of course I do, we're working together for the last two years and I trust him with everything," I say smiling and I see Kanishk's jaw clench.
"He's just your assistant right?" he asks and I look at him suspiciously.
What was with him and all these questions?
"Yes and my best friend," I say and see him clench his jaw again. "Are you okay?" I asked him looking at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he says and takes out his phone from his pocket and I look at him amused.
"Raj, book two business tickets to Goa for Thursday," he says over the call and I look at him surprised.
He is coming?
Involuntarily a smile spread on my lips, maybe now we would get to spend some time together without him working, and maybe he would act like a husband for a chance.
"Yeah and make sure I have all the project files prepared for me to take with," he speaks on the phone.
I sigh, spoken too soon.
After a minute he cuts the call and faces me. "You're coming with me?" I ask and he nods his head.
"If I don't go with you, mom won't stop complaining," he says and I smile.
"You don't have to come if you don't want to, I'm sure mom will understand," I say, knowing very well he is going to anyway work, may that be here or there.
"No, I'm going with you," he says and puts his phone back in his pocket. "Anyway, I will leave now, and sorry once again for the whole Aisha fiasco," he says and I nod, my mood turning sour hearing her name.
"Yes, and thank you for the lunch," I say and he smiles.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, maybe I'll bring some pizza tomorrow," he says and I look at him surprised, again.
He just won't stop surprising me today.
"Tomorrow?" I ask, making sure I heard him correctly.
"Yes, I have this meeting nearby, so I thought I will drop by again tomorrow," he answers and I make an irritated face.
Of course, he is coming here for work.
"No, I won't be here tomorrow for lunch, I'm going home to meet papa," I tell him. It wasn't exactly a lie, dad wanted to meet me and wanted to know how Riya was, so I decided to go meet him tomorrow. "If you are okay, you can come with me," I tell him.
"Yes," he answers immediately and I smile.
"I mean it's been a long time since I haven't met them, I can come with you," he says and I smile.
"Okay," I say nodding my head and before he could say something further, Vihaan barged into my office.
"You gotta see this, it's so awe- Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were busy," Vihaan says looking at Kanishk who for some reason was glaring at Vihaan.
"It's okay Vihaan, what is it?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Nothing important, I'll just show it to you later," he says and I nod and look at Kanishk to see him still sending daggers at Vihaan.
"Kanishk," I call him and he immediately looks at me, "If you want, you can stay in here, but I have a meeting in ten minutes, and I have to go," I tell him and he nods his head.
"No, I'm leaving," he says and looks at me, "I'll see you at home," he says and looks over at Vihaan.
"Hey, I'm Vihaan, Siya's assistant," Vihaan introduces as soon as Kanishk looks at him.
Kanishk doesn't say anything but just nods his head and leaves from there.
"I don't think your husband likes me," Vihaan says as soon as Kanishk exits my cabin.
"You guys just haven't interacted yet, he is nice," I tell him and his eyebrows raise.
"Nice huh?" he asks with a teasing smile and I roll my eyes.
"Meeting Vihaan, we will be late for the meeting," I say, ignoring his teasing and walking towards my desk to take my files.
"Sure, you can't wait to finish the meeting and go home," he says again with a teasing voice and I groan.
"Shut up, let's go," I say as I walk towards the conference hall, all the while Vihaan teasing me on our way there.
Whereas I, just smiling remembering the unexpected lunch date I had with my workaholic husband.

The people asking me why I'm late updating my book, well, I'm not.
I told you guys before, if I don't get enough comments I will just update 2 parts per month, that's what I'm doing.
I get more than 100 likes and hardly 3-4 comments, which are only asking me to update the next one and not saying anything about how the chapter was.
This isn't making me motivated guys, so I'm just gonna update at my slow speed, so no complaining.
If you want fast updates, just at least acknowledge that you're enjoying the book and comment.
My previous comments don't count, coz I've updated the whole book. :)
