Arranged Love Marriage - Exchanged Bride!

(23) Missing Him...

Nandini's POV

I jogged down the staircase wearing my, as usual, formal suit & holding my office bag, ready for another day to A & N Limited. It has been my daily routine for a month now, irrespective of Sundays or holidays;
yes! It has been one month now!

Speaking of my daily routine; well! it's boring and repetitive. No fun, only compulsion.
I did create time for designing and am continuing both my designing job and managing Dad's business at the same time.
But then again; I have no choice but to look over our business and about my designing job, Soha can take my place there, right!

Getting downstairs, I made my ways to the dining table to quickly grab my breakfast and rush to our office before 10 am; there is a metting scheduled at 10.

"Goodmorning Dad" I chirped as I approached him. He smiled looking up from his newsapaper and returned my greetings.
It has been about two weeks since he was released from hospital and is under medication at home. He can walk on his own, but sometimes due to weakness, he got dizzy; so doctor told him to walk with other's support and take fully bed rest for another month or two.

"Morning Nandu!"
I heard Alya coming from the kitchen carrying the plates. I too stood up and helped her with it.
After the successful completion of her Fashion show, she is finally have got time to eat, talk and breath. She is relaxed now-a-days with her regular office works at pace. I'm so jealous of her sometime. I hardly get time to breath yar!

"Hey Nandini beta!" then I heard a new feminine voice from the kitchen and turned to find Nyonika Aunty coming out along with Mom.
I didn't expect to see her, this early in the moring. That's a surprise!

"Namaste Aunty" I cooed and bend to touch her feet but mann! these office suit is tight!

"Areyy gimme hug beta! I'm quite a morden MIL, you see!" She spoke laughing and luckily pulled me in a warm hug. Soon we all sat for the breakfast.

"I had heard, Nandini is working hard for her family bussiness, and now I could see." Aunty said taking a bite. "You're looking full-confident bussinesswoman avatar" she added getting a chuckle from us.

"True, Mrs. Malhotra. My princess is really working day & night for our bussiness, even leaving her designing which she loves. I'm very proud of her and feeling sorry too." Dad spoked with a soft expression looking at me.
He is still feeling sorry, even after I've told him many times not to be. He even proposed to start working from home as soon as he got discharged, and I have to literally threaten him to get rest.

Dad will be dad afterall. My hero he is!

I pouted at Dad while chewing my bite and saw Mom placing an assuring hand over Dad's hand placed on the table. "Don't worry about her, Ji! Our daughters has grown stronger and wiser. They know how to handle their work and interest alongside. Even Nandu is doing her designing job along with our bussiness." Mom spoke assuring to Dad.

"Bass, she needs me to remind of her eating and sleeping schedule." Mom added turning to me, passing a glare.
Well, not my fault. There are too many work pressure, that sometimes I skip the meals and many times I sleep late to wake up early.

And like every mother, My mom too scold me! phew.

"I can understand, Mrs. Murty. I've four big child in my house to take care of. And interestingly, they all are very reowned bussinessmen in their own field, but always I've to worry for their health." Nyo Aunty joined in.

"Yestersay Raj and Suraj (Mr. Vedant) went for their respective foreign meetings, only then I got some free time and thought to come straight here and discuss about of children's marriage preparation. Only one month is left and we need to do a lot." She added stating the purpose of her visit.
