Pranit's Pov:
"Raj have you prepared everything for the meeting?" I asked my P.A. while heading towards my cabin after attending a meeting.
"Yes Sir.... Everything is well prepared" He replied.
"Ok... You can have your lunch break then" I told him and he nodded his head in approval.
I opened my cabin door only to find Samaira sitting on one of the chair.My blood boiled after seeing her here.
"What the hell are you doing in my cabin? Did you asked for my permission before entering in?" I harshly said.
She ran towards me and hugged me out of the blue.I immediately jerked her off.
"What do you think you are doing Ms.Bajaj?" I spatted.
"Why?Why did you marry Pranit?You knew that I like you.... But still....." she stated while fake crying.
"Do I need your permission to take my life decisions, huh? I was ignoring your behavior from a long time because your father was involved in a deal with me... But the deal is over now... So please stay away from me.If you like me then I am sorry I can't reciprocate your feelings because I am happily married.Now please kindly leave"I completed my speech and went towards my desk.
"No you are lieing,you are not happily married.If you were then you would have introduced your gold-digger wife to the world but you didn't?It means you don't love her right?" She spoke.The nerve of this girl.
"Ms. Bajaj dare you speak anything against my wife.She is anything but a gold-digger.And Offcourse I love her... a lot.Please leave before I say something bitter... Please" I spoke.
"Fine.... I am leaving,but I will not leave her.... " She furiously replied and left my office.
I sighed and sat on my chair.I closed my eyes for a while to relax myself.
"And Offcourse I love her... a lot."
Suddenly my eyes shoot open as realization hit me hard.... Did I just said that?That means....I love Sonakshi.
I was smiling like a manic just by thinking about it.I love her.I do.
This can't be true.O god! I really have realized that... that I love her.I love my wife!
I hurriedly picked my phone and dialled her number as I got the sudden urge to talk to her.
Tring...Tring....
The bell rangs.But eventually the call ended which made me think that is everything ok.I again dialed her number,hopefully she picked it up.
"Hello.... Sonakshi,why weren't you picking up my call.Is everything ok?You are fine right?" I asked her without giving her any chance to speak.
The other side was dead silent.I waited for few seconds but again no reply.
"Are you there?" I asked.
"Yeah....Mr.Verma,I was little busy" her voice came from the other end.But she sounded sad,I can know just by her voice.
"You're fine, right" I asked worriedly.
"Yes.... I am" She said and again she went silent.
"Where are you know?" I asked her.
"Why?" She questioned.
"Just tell me where are you?" I asked her in a bold voice.
"I am near.... Rajnath Uncle's Orphanage" she said.
What is she doing there?
"Ok fine,wait there,I am coming" I replied while getting up from my sit and taking the car keys.
"No... No need.. " She denied but I cut her off.
"I am coming, just stay there"I replied in a finalizing voice.
After informing my P.A. that I am heading out.I went towards the parking and settled in my car before droving off.

Sonakshi's POV:
Tears are continuously flowing from my eyes after listening what Rajnath Uncle told me.I don't know how to react or what to do.
I am sitting on one of the bench near the orphanage from the past 3 hours.I am thinking about what I should do further.It's the decision I have to make.Should I just tell Mr.Verma the truth or not?If I tell him the truth will it affect him......
My chain of thoughts broke by the sudden ringing of my phone.I looked at the caller id and it was none other than my husband.More tears flowed through my eyes and I was a crying mess.So I didn't picked it up.I calmed myself and took deep breaths.The phone again rang so I decided to pick it up as it might be something important or else he haven't called me at his work time.
"Hello.... Sonakshi,why weren't you picking up my call.Is everything ok?You are fine right?"he started asking without giving me a chance to reply.
Hearing his voice made it difficult for me to not to cry.I suppress my sob and remained silent.
"Are you there?" he asked.
"Yeah....Mr.Verma,I was little busy"I replied in a low voice.
"You're fine, right" he asked worriedly.
"Yes.... I am" he asked and I knew he is aware that I am not fine.
"Where are you know?" he asked surprising me.
"Why?" I questioned.
"Just tell me where are you?" he asked in an authoritive voice and I knew I can't lie anymore.
"I am near.... Rajnath Uncle's Orphanage" I said.
"Ok fine,wait there,I am coming" he replied.
"No... No need.. " I denied as I don't want him to see me in this state.
"I am coming, just stay there"he replied in the finalizing voice and hung up.
I started to panic,what will I say to him.But first of all he can't see me in this state,I need to freshen up.I got up from my seat and went back inside the orphanage.I made my way towards washroom and washed my face.
I relaxed for a while and went out again.I settled on the same bench and waited for Mr.Verma's arrival.
I was too engorse in deep thoughts when I heard someone calling my name and I came back in the present.
I saw Mr.Verma making his way towards me, looking handsome as usual.I stood up from the bench and the next second I was crushed in a hug by him.Too shock to respond,I just stayed still for while.But anyway hugged him back later.
He broke the hug and looked at me as if analysing my face.
"Did you cried?" he asked me making me stunned.How does he knows?
"No... Ofcourse not" I denied right away.
"You can't fool me wifey, did you cried?..... May I know the reason" he asked softly but I didn't replied.
He took hold of my chin and asked again.
"Tell me, did you?"
I nodded my head and replied "Yah... But nothing serious,it's... just that.... hmm... Rajnath Uncle is going to meet his son in U.K. for more than a month.I will just miss him and that's why I cried.He is like a father to me so I couldn't control my emotions nothing much"
I lied to him but there was no other way.I will tell him the truth but at right time,which is surely not now.
He looked satisfied with my answer and didn't enquired any further.
"Ok.... Let it be then,as you can see it's already lunch time.... Let's go and have lunch together at our restaurant" he says and I nod my head in approval.
**********
Through out the lunch,Mr.Verma was staring at in a wierd way.A good wierd way though.We talked a lot more than usual.He was cracking some hilarious jokes,I didn't even know that this man can actually make someone laugh.After that he drived me back home as I was having no mood to go back to my workplace and work.Not after today's whole scenario.
I freshen up after reaching my room and changed my clothes.I jumped on my bed and layed down.While looking at nowhere specific, I began to think about the ways to tell Mr.Verma the truth.
After a lot of thinking,I had a conclusion.
"I am going to tell him everything till end of this week"
With that thought in mind,I closed my eyes to take a small nap.
