Life after Wedding

Part 26

Next morning was a hectic one. They headed to their office and were lost in the piles of documents and papers. They almost started working like robots. After that night's incident at the hospital, Rihaan was in no mood to listen and understand anyone.

He was very much worried about his Dad's condition. Radhika, being an idle soul mate couldn't see him brooded over that issue. She suggested working in the alternate shifts. Forenoon session will be handled by her in the office while Rihaan will attend his dad in the hospital and a vice versa in the afternoon.

Radhika and Rihaan could hardly spend time together. They were immersed in their professional tasks balancing with that of Rishab's duty. Rajita, the busiest mother of Rihaan used to be running around them at times, taunting regarding the less business growth. Rihaan used to rage but, Radhikaa used to calm him down.

One day it's Radhika's shift at the office, around 10 am...

" Where is the Mehta's' project file? " Radhikaa hushed at Shravan.

" I'm sorry ma'am I couldn't find It. " came the lame reply.

"How could you be so careless? It's an important contract. Mr. Mehta is our client from the very beginning days of our company. This is our 10th project with them. Every deal went well till now. I don't want our reputation to get degraded this time." She retorted.

" I'm sorry ma'am. Just give me 15minutes. I'll check once again." Shravan quivered.

After, few minutes Shravan returned to her.

" Ma'am ... " he crooned.

" Got the file? " Radhika questioned.

" Ma'am, probably the file is in Rihaan sir's cabin."

"What do you mean by that? Where ever may be the file go and get it." She muttered.

" Ma'am sir's cabin is locked."

" Locked? Rihaan will be coming in a couple of hours. I'll take it from him. You leave." She replied and resumed to the work.

Rihaan never interferes with her work. Mehta's' project was really a huge one and she was given the responsibility to deal it. Rihaan was working on the French delegates meeting lately. She was quite surprised to know that the file was in his cabin. She thought of asking him but, carried away by her work.

Later that night, the duo was heading home ...

" I Hope Papa, will be discharged soon." Radhikaa muttered.

" Yeah. Even I wish so but, the doctor said it may take a couple of week's time to discharge" replied the exhausted Rihaan.

" You are looking very tired Rihaan. Are you alright? " She asked in concern.

" Hmm ... I'm good Ruby. Don't worry." He smiled slightly.

They drove home and Rihaan asked if she could cook for him for which she accepted happily. Even after a hectic day, she enjoyed cooking for his beloved hubby. Later that night they sat for supper in their dining room.

" I think we need a maid. " mumbled Rihaan.

" Hmm ... I too feel the same. We will be busy working all day and reach home late at night. Even we rush in hurry in the morning. Just look around... our place is turning shabby day by day." Sighed Radhika.

" Don't worry Ruby, we will find a maid soon. " he muttered, savoring the soup.

Their hectic life style repeated for few weeks and Mr. Rishab was sound enough now. He was discharged and taken home while Rihaan skipped his meals often in these weeks, turned pale and weak.
