Married to Him ✔

Chapter - 4

Arshita

His alluring voice softly hit my ears and reached down my barren heart. I wasn't sure if I was right but the way he looked at me and the way just now complimented me, I tasted the tinge of attraction from him for me.

I took the deep breath filling back all my happiness Inside my stomach and uttered, "Thank you Sir!"

He nodded, smiled and raising his cup of coffee stated with amusing voice, "Till date I liked black coffee but I think I would like the coffee you make putting milk."

Shit!

How the hell it happened? I was so out of my head to make such a mistake when he clearly stated his likeness. But it was great that the end went perfect.

" Okay. " I said quietly and headed again to my small box. Was this all I wanted to hear all this time?

I took myself down the floor and sat happily in my chair when Piya gave me 'what's going on look'.

I muttered to myself," It's the start of something good. " I jumped up again as my nervousness was all dropping like a water little by little from me.

I had today to shift my things to his regime- the top floor, which wasn't so much of things.

I opened my drawers and collected all my files and staplers, tapes and all in the corner of the computer desk. Then my eyes went to the last drawer and all memories came back to me.

I collected enough strength and opened the last one. Few of the letters, pictures and small but sweet gift came into my view. I had enough at home properly hidden in the place that I think I would never have to look at. But why the hell I kept these here too. Again I never thought of opening this drawer.

I was about to pick one of letter when someone called me and I lurched back in sudden voice piercing the silence my head went into.

"Yes. " I said almost instantly as if caught doing something and looked up. It was Salil.

" What happened? Are you okay? " He looked at me and then those letter with horror.

" It's nothing. You want anything? " I closed the drawer.

" Arshita, Boss called me and asked me to help you get your things up! I mean you will be in his floor, fine, but you are getting that big office not that which is for PA, you know. God you are just-"

I narrowed my eyes at his babbling because it was sounding like a leisure got out of nothing. I wasn't working here from long time but I did all my work honestly and perfectly. At least that's what I hear from authorities.

"So I called workers to get us some boxes to carry over there. " He said fidgeting and turned to pick the files in the desk.

" Okay thanks. So he asked you to help me? " This was the first part that was so exciting and next was me getting the big office. It was well furnished, spacious and almost equivalent to his. It wasn't like I wanted all of it but having someone who just praised me and appointed to the valuable post gave me something good after long time.

Thinking about it all, I felt suffocated so I drew long breath to calm down. Everything was good but now I had responsibility and the bigger one.

"Yes Arshita." Salil yapped in his irritated tone. I began marking my files in order that my work wouldn't be disturbed and too I needed to keep all my personal things that no one put their nose into it.

I always hated this kind of audacity in people. If we want to share with then we will. Why to put their lot of strength to scavenge things from others when they don't want to.

After an hour or so, I got my one forth boxes full and after filling office things, I wanted to get my time to shift the private things.

Salil was nice person but everyone has flaws. His was curious behavior not in a good way. I talked to him while we were packing up things and he was so nice.

I other thing I noticed in him was respect for others time. He was properly filling in things that while unpacking it wouldn't hurt them.

I told him what I saw and he admitted that he hated when you ask someone to do the work and they do that for the sake of doing, making all the mess. So he take care not to be thought of like that. Very few think that way and I respect ones with good attitude ignoring their flaws.

Talking of the flaws I too have got so many. I thing I know I was doing at the exact moment was ignoring my best friends here to tell them things when they share each little thing with me.

Abeer and Piya were taking out time from their busy schedule to poke me for updates and I neither was sharing, nor talking. They would give me 'everyone's time come' type look and get back to their work.

My lunch time too went away as I was busy with it.

"Arshi?! " I heard someone whisper manly.

I and Salil both turned and started laughing as Piya stood with her baby crying face and started," I thought I am getting you in lunch break but you are like... "

She made her face of disapproval and I admit I don't know what word she was exactly eating at the end. It was her all time rant and I never tried to bother myself for knowing the end because when we first met her mouth was walking abuser which I changed and never allowed to redeem back.

"How much is left though? " She sang, irritated. I always loved her puppy face.

" There is seriously nothing to tell but I want you to do something for me. " I pleaded her when I know she is always was there for me. It is always me hiding things and keeping things in heart.

That's me. And no one could change me, I think.

" Why you always have to say like this? Tell me straight away, baby! I will forward anything for my hot and sexy chick. "

I gave her warning look and she poked her tongue out." I know and daddy loves you. "

She hit me arm playfully when I pulled her closer to reach her ear to hear her again," look I am I love with Abeer. We can't be this close. "

I couldn't resist but laugh at her words." Shut up! Please get him away I have few things here I don't want anyone to look at. You understand me! "

I pulled away and whispered," yeah so that you can sit here and again read all that and hurt your stupid heart. He will go but I will help you get that s**t away from you. "

Away from me? No. That wasn't possible. I tried to let then go from me but I just couldn't ditch them at the very end. They contained Ronit's

and my feelings. Our love.

" No. I am not throwing them. " I said her alarmed.

" Yes, you are not throwing but burning that. Atleast that will not allow you to get them back if you ever wish. And if you want keep the ashes which I will flew away with my mouth like a wind mill. "

She said with authority and went to Salil. She said something to him when I absorbed myself in my own thoughts and came back to me grabbing full attention.

" When he will be done, we will pack you all that things. Okay?! Now don't make that face. Bye I have lot under my-"

I smiled at my lovely and stupid at times friends and she went away faster than any jet, I think. I turned to get back at my task.

We were done packing and taping the box when I declared to Salil that he has enough for me. Thanking him I gave him kind smile and returning me same he walked away.

Little later my boxes were shifted from here to upper floor and d I found myself looking into those letters while packing. One hand came from nowhere and snatching the letter put that roughly in the box.

"Shut that! Don't read just put. I think we haven't got time for this. "

I nodded and silently put all of them without reading them. It was hard but I managed as he himself started to come before my eyes.

With the grace of Miss Piya Sharma, I could get them properly filled in the box in just fifteen minutes who threw them like junk and poked her tongue when I glared her. I was hurt but still I had feelings with it. This was a connection I couldn't get away from.

Nervously, I entered the elevator to get to my big office room. My steps slowed when I had to pass through his office as I wanted to see what was he doing. Obviously he must be working but I wanted to see him move or even sit ideal. He had a thing to attract attention.

I bit my lips as I saw no one inside the glass door. Was he done with his work in his first day? I went little closer the door to see if I was missing him somewhere.

I was almost in a position of peeking into someone's office secretly when I heard someone. I hadn't eaten anything still I felt the food was going to come out of of my mouth.

"I am here. "

My eyes bulged out of its socket and I stepped into him. He holding me carefully steadied me. He caught me doing the stupid thing and I was left to say something to cover it up.

" I was just.. just see... " I stammered and he moved his hand to motivate me but his amused face clearly shown how knowing he was. So I stopped and looked at him. He giving me his side smile walked Inside his office muttering softly," See you tomorrow Arshita. "

I didn't know what else to do so I decided to walk to arrange my office room. Looking at my watch I found it was 6:00. But which employee went home before eight? It was way to show we were working no matter if you were really working.

Without looking back I turned on my heel and stepped Inside my big office feeling I owed the company. Seriously it was mind blowing. Everything had a touch, light, color and the furniture. Taking in what I had I looked at the boxes and sighed.

It was nine when I was done except with that important box. I knew if I opened that I would pass my night in this room so decided to hurry home as my stomach growled signaling that I needed to eat something. I refrained from going with Piya to escape her questions.

Picking up my purse I walked out and as I walked past his office, I found him in his chair with his eyes into the files. Something hit me as I walked towards the break room and catching the cup made him coffee.

Now the coffee mug was in my hand but I felt it awkward to give it. Assuring myself that I was PA. I knocked the door.

He didn't look up as he was so absorbed in his papers. I walked Inside taking it as my home and stood beside his chair. After a while when he sensed that there was an intruder he looked up.

"You are still here? " He said and his went up and down from me to coffee.

" Coffee. "

He gave me his sly smile and chanted happily taking up the mug from my hand," this is what was lacking in here. Thanks! "

" Welcome. Anything else, sir? " I started to play with my fingers.

He looked into my face and said softly," nothing much. Just stop playing with your fingers. "

Hearing him my hands fell down my sides. I bit my lip in embarrassment as he spoke again.

" Good Night Miss Arshita! "

Taking in his attractive and charming voice and smile I said," good night sir!" and walked away from this influencing man who behaved me knowing my secrets or what I was thinking.
