SHIPRA POV

 

I am not angry but somehow this new information made my mood sour.

 

I was walking towards my cabin and saw everyone peeking from their cubicle or their cabin and that spread fuel to my anger.

 

I stopped in my tracks and looked towards everyone and asked “Don’t you guys have any work to do today? Or are we forgetting that we have less than 40 days for Paris fashion week?" I asked in my angry voice.

 

Hearing me they all started working their prospective work and I saw from the corner of my eyes Pehu was standing in the corner and smiling like crazy.

 

Ignoring her I stared towards my cabin and sat on my chair holding my head in my palm.

 

As expected I heard the knock on my door and without looking up I said come in pehu.

 

I looked up with a tired face and she was looking at me and smiling like a creep. Now, what’s wrong with her?

I raise my eyebrow like asking to speak and in response, she wriggles her eyebrows.

 

In irritation, I said, “Pehu I am already not in the mood so please don’t irritate me right now.” I try to ignore her but well I know it is not possible.

 

“Why Princess what happened? Tell me?” She asked.

 

I huffed and said, “You know Shivay is the owner of this company?”

 

Which she replied, “yes why?”

I gave her a shocked look and asked “You knew this”?

 

She nodded in agreement and I again hid my face with my palm.

 

Only I was the one who was unaware about this, else the whole world knows.

 

I looked up in anger and asked “why didn't you inform me about this?”

 

She gulped in fear and said, “I thought you already knew it.”

 

“And how did you assume this?” I asked her, looking angry as never before.

 

“Everyone knows about their husband’s work, so how would I know that you are a special one who doesn’t know anything about”. She stated as a matter of fact.

 

Hearing this I fumed like Lava and said “Get out right away. Out..” I shout at the top of my voice.

 

She runs like a scary cat and I close my eyes to calm myself down.

 

It’s not like I don’t know what my husband does, I know he manages a multinational company, it's just I don’t know this company is also under him.

 

But he could’ve told me. Rather he must be enjoying my unawareness.

 

After sometimes someone knocks on my door I look up to see and ask the person to come in and see Meera was standing.

 

“Yes, Meera, is everything done?”

 

“Yes mam Sherwani (wedding dress) was tight from the shoulder, but I shall get it done in no time.” She spoke professionally.

 

I nod “ok let me know once it’s done.”

 

“Ahmm mam sir is expecting you in his cabin.”

 

I nodded and stood up and started walking towards his cabin. I saw from the corner of my eyes, this time people are minding their own business.

 

Finally,

 

I knocked on the door twice and entered without hearing any reply and here he was standing near the window with all his glory and looking outside Delhi traffic.

 

Before I could say I heard his voice “lock the door.”

 

I look back to see the lock on the door and wow he has a lock on his door? That’s new as I don’t have one.

 

 

Locking the door I looked back and got startled as he was standing in front of me.

How come he covers this much distance so fast. Is he has some superpower or he is some ghost.

 

Ghost OMG my husband is a ghost?

 

“Hold your horses Rani Sa.” I heard his voice.

 

I look up as not getting what he was saying.

 

He shook his head and ignored my look completely.

Holding my hand, he started walking towards the sofa.

He sat on the sofa and in a jerk, I was sitting on his lap. I kept my hand on his chest to balance myself.

 

God, he has so much strength in what he eats. An elephant? I thought.

 

He held me from my waist to keep me in place and asked “Now tell me what’s wrong with your mood”?

 

I look up and try to give him a bit of an angry look but fail miserably as I don’t know how to stay angry for a long time so I look down.

 

“I am a man of less patience, Rani Sa, so please tell me what happened before I lose what I have with me.”

 

Look at the audacity. Now, why would he get angry?

 

I huff internally and said, “You know everyone must be laughing at me that I know nothing about my husband.”

 

“So you know nothing about your husband?” He counter-questioned me.

 

"No, of course not. I very well know what my husband do I am not that stupid." I said looking at him.

 

“Ok so what does your husband do? Enlighten me a little” He said looking at me.

 

Looking up at the ceiling I started thinking and said “He is King of Premgadh, He has multinational company RM & Sons, and He is taking care of it as a CEO. According to his Dada, Hukum he manages everything very well and he is so proud of him.

According to my parents, he is the most eligible bachelor in India and the top 10 billionaires in the world, and the best person they have seen growing up in front of their eyes.

See, I know so many things." I raise my eyebrows proudly.

 

"So you knew all these things before you met me." He asked, raising his eyebrow.

 

“No, not all, I only knew some bits and pieces like how Dada Hukum and Dai Jan are proud of you because I used to visit Dada Hukum to take his advice while I was making my NGO. That time he used to share his thoughts about you many times”. I shrug saying this.
