Wooing His Wife | ✓

Chapter 10 - Girlfriend

He was walking down the corridor, after making the call. The board meeting was the following day. Nothing could go wrong. Nothing. She was with him after all. It's strange how in front of the world and everyone she painted herself as the unforgiving wife. But when she was with him, she was herself. An Anika reserved only for him. Just like he was so different when he was with her. He could be stupid, he could cry, he could lose, he could do everything he wouldn't dare to do in front of others. 

"Ouch!" There were two voices. 

He immediately held whatever banged into him.

He did not have to look to know who it was. She stared at him. His eyes swore to never part from hers. 

Suddenly, there was the sound of clearing throat. The two looked at the source. She stepped away. 

"Look look, here we have some sparks flying!" Rudra remarked.

"Shut up Rudra!" Shivaay said annoyed. This stupid brother of his would make Anika uncomfortable and then she would again start keeping two arm's distance. He looked at her, she saw everywhere except at him. Jeez! this woman could still blush!

"I think I should get going!" She said. 

"Where?" He asked immediately.

"Bhaiya, she has work. Just like you 'used to' have." Rudra remarked cheekily. 

Omkara entered the scene laughing, as he heard the disguised taunt his younger brother had just made.

Anika pressed her lips, smiling. She was not going to laugh at that. At least try not to laugh. The brothers teased each other so much. It was her husband being the target right now.

"I can drop you Bhabhi!" Omkara suggested.

"No." Shivaay said immediately. "I mean you would have so much work. Gauri's family is also here. You stay. I am anyway leaving for work and I will pass her office on way, so I will drop her." he explained quickly. 

Anika smiled and then wore a straight face. Cuteness overload!

"It's okay Shivaay. Me and Gauri are going to Anika's workplace. Remember – there is a wedding. Mine and Gauri's. So we need an event manager and we need a fashion designer. " Omkara was having the time of his life seeing his elder brother grope for reasons, better ones. 

Silence followed. "Okay!" He said quickly. Disheartened expression evident.  He quickly walked away.

Omkara and Rudra laughed, giving each other high-fives. 

Anika folded her arms clearing her throat, narrowing her eyes at them. Then she too broke into a cascading laughter. "You both are very mean!"
