It was a beautiful day and they only had the morning to tie up all lose ends and finish there packing before their flight at 4:30.
Shiv went to the office in the morning as Gauri finished all there packing. Shiv had pulled out all his clothes that he wanted to take. That was one benefit of having a wife. He would never have to pack his clothes again.
In the office Shiv fixed his report and then gave it to his father to check it out. An hour later, Mahen came into Shiv's cabin and slammed the report down on his desk. Mahen in a very serious tone, "I have never seen such a report. This is some of your finest work. I loved the part of explaining there added benefit of our customer service. I think they will really appreciate it that. None the less, Shiv I am very proud of you and if the London doesn't take our proposal I know that you did the best job to get it!" With that Mahen left his sons office wishing him all the best. Shiv never felt so proud and self confident. In his mind he actually thanked Gauri!
He left the office at 12, so that he could get a quick bite to eat and then get ready for his flight. He had his favorite aloo parantha. Then he ran up to freshen up. He went into his room to see all there bags neatly packed and Gauri looking through the boarding passes and there passports. She was dressed in a nice black body fitting sweat suit. She had simple stud earrings on, her mangal sutra and 2 rings on. She looked so simple, so casual that Shiv couldn't take his eyes of her. He wasn't attracted to her but just loved seeing this side of her.
She looked up and saw him coming. She smiled and sorted everything while Shiv freshened up. As he finished getting ready, she started to take some of the small bags down. He trailed behind her with the larger suit case. Everyone wished them a happy journey and wished Shiv best of luck with the new deal.
