Part 14

Dev woke up early. He had to rush to office but before that, he had to make sure that everything in the house was proper and clean. He went to the kitchen and made some breakfast for the two of them. He got ready for office. Before leaving, he wrote a note for Sonakshi and it read'' Sonakshi, main office ja raha hu. Aaj bhaut kam hai. I might come home late, but I will try my best to finish work early. Also, breakfast is kept on the table, Khalena. Please take rest.
Love dev'' with that, he left for office. A few hours later Sonakshi woke up. She saw the note and began to read it. She smiled reading the note but was upset that dev had left early without informing her. She walked towards her closet had kept the note in a box. Sonakshi kept all the handwritten letters that dev wrote to her in a box. She walked towards the dining room and saw that breakfast was ready for her. She had her breakfast and went to freshen up. After coming from a shower, Sonakshi decided to read her pregnancy books. She read the books for sometime and got bored. She missed dev. For the past few months dev was always with her for the whole time but now he had to go to office to solve the matters. Sonakshi knew how worried dev was. She decided to surprise him. She knew that dev would forget about lunch because of stress. She decided to carry lunch for him in the office. She knew how much dev loved dal rice, and also it was easy to prepare. She went into the kitchen and began to make lunch.
It was lunch time and Sonakshi had reached his office. Tina was coming out of dev's cabin and saw Sonakshi coming towards her. 'Good afternoon Dr. Bose, aap yaha?' Asked Tina. 'Haa, voh actually main yaha Dev ko lunch dene ke lea aai hu'.said Sonakshi. 'Oh, ek minute, main sir ko inform kar deti hu ki aap yaha hai'. Tina knocked at dev's door and said 'sir, Dr. Bose is here'. 'Sonakshi? Yaha?' Dev was shocked and happy at the same time. He asked all his employees to leave the cabin and asked Tina to send Sonakshi in. Before entering the cabin, Sonakshi knocked the door. Dev saw her and said 'Mrs. Dixit, you don't need to knock'. He hugged her and said ' Sonakshi tum yaha kya kar rehi ho?' Sonakshi looked at him and smiled, she showed him the lunch box. Dev understood that the had prepared lunch. Dev was upset that Sonakshi took so much effort to make lunch. 'Arey Sonakshi, tum ne kyu lunch banaya? You should have rested.' Sonakshi smiled at him and said,'kyuki mujhe pata tha ki kaam ke beech mein aap lunch miss karenge, iss lea I made lunch, also, mein aap ko bhaut miss kar rehi thi, so I came here. Maine aap ko disturb toh Nahi kia na?' Dev kissed her forehead and said 'blikul Nahi. Ab chalo lunch karte hai'. They sat down on the couch and dev fed Sonakshi. Dev asked Sonakshi ' ab kya plan hai?' To which she replied ' koi plan Nahi hai. Kyu?' Dev looked at her and said ' if you want tum yaha ruk sakti ho. I have a few meetings and then we can go home together'. Sonakshi liked the plan. She loved to be with and around dev. Post lunch dev got busy in his meetings while Sonakshi sat on the couch watching dev busy with work. Dev was tensed. The work load was a lot especially because of the fact that his company could go bankrupt. It was evening and dev just got done with one of the meetings. He saw Sonakshi sleeping peacefully on the couch. He went to her and placed his coat on her to make her comfortable. Even in her sleep Sonakshi could smell dev's perfume that came from the coat. She made herself more comfortable in the coat. Soon dev got back to work. He was busy with his files when someone knocked at his door. It was Tina and the entire accounts team. They entered the cabin. The commotion in the cabin woke up Sonakshi. She sat on the couch while Tina had a cake in her hand. 'Yeh sab kya hai Tina? Dev asked in a confused tone. Tina smiled at Dev and said, 'sir ek good news hai. Accounts team ne sare errors rectify kar lea hai aur sare invoices ka record bhi register ho Gaya hai. Ab koi problem Nahi hai. Ishwari enterprises can't go bankrupt'. Dev couldn't believe this. He had mixed emotions he was happy and shocked. 'Are you serious?' Dev asked. His team smiled at him and said, 'yes sir. Ab koi problem Nahi hai'. Dev felt extremely relieved. 'Bravo guys, you did it. This definitely calls for a celebration'. 'Ha sir celebration toh hoga lakin abhi ke lea yeh cake cut kate hai' said Tina' Dev took the cake and they went towards Sonakshi, she sat on the couch. Dev held Sonakshi's hand and said 'to my team and my support system ''Sonakshi''...congratulations' he cut the cake with Sonakshi. Sonakshi felt extremely proud of dev and was relieved that the company had overcome such a big problem.
