Celebrating Success of the Project
Chapter I
Dev had a long and tiring day as usual, the "Connect- Thru - Hearts" telecom project on which he was working for the past 2 months along with his Korean partners was finally nearing its culmination. The entire team had an immense feeling of respect and pride for this youngest CEO of Delhi, who didn't give two shots while deciding what he should prioritize more between his professional and personal life. His business was his first & most favorite child, and will always be...the final draft of the project was almost done. Tina came into the cabin to get the signatures of her boss who signed the papers with a glint of self esteem in his eyes. She informed him that the copy of this final draft will be mailed to the Korean clients and the project thus can be considered as almost done. He heaved a sigh of relief thinking that now he'll be able to give his family his time that they deserved...he could finally spend some quality time with his dear wifey Sona...wait a minute, Sona, he hadn't even bothered to call her in the entire day..."she must be angry", he thought. He signaled Tina to leave him alone, and picked up the phone quickly to dial Sona's number...she picked up within 2 calls indicating how impatiently she had been waiting for his call, or maybe she wasn't much of a sport to bear one more of his type of punishment...
Dev : mera khargosh' kya kar raha hai? kahin mujhe jyada miss to nahin kar raha hai?
he asked further teasing her...
Sona : apne "baby" ki yaad mein mera dil behek raha hai, machal raha hai, tadap raha hai...
she said giggling...utmost sure that Dev would seriously be pissed off at her calling him baby'
Dev : agar itna hi man kar raha hai apne "baby " se milne ka to mere office kyun nahin aa jaati...yahin beth kar apne dil ko machalne aur behkne dena...thoda bahut main bhi shikh loon ki yeh dil aakhir humse baatein kaise karta hai
Sona : main to ek taang par daudi chali aaungi, par tumhare paas time kahan hai mere liye, jab dekho kaam..kaam...aur kaam...main kya karungi wahan aakar, baithe baithe bore ho jaungi...
Dev : aur agar main kahoon ki mera project finally khatam ho gaya hai, aur ab mera saara time meri cute si bunny ke liye hai, kya tab bhi tumhara yahan na aane ka decision nahin badlega?
Sona quickly retracted on her decision and informed Dev that she'll be reaching there in another 30 minutes...Dev was extremely excited that he would get to spend some alone, cozy time with his Sona... He quickly informed Tina to send all the staff including the security guard home as he was expecting some personal guests in another half an hour...Tina accordingly followed his instructions, sending off everybody she herself started to finish off her petty jobs fast so that she could also leave...
It was raining cats & dogs outside, Sona cursed her luck for not carrying her umbrella today, she hired a taxi and directed the driver to take her to the Ishwari Communications...it was a 20 minutes drive from her workplace to Dev's office...she couldn't help but imagine how she would try to make this meeting of theirs special...soon the taxi screeched a halt outside Dev's office, snapping out of her thoughts she quickly paid the taxi driver and got down from the taxi, jogging her way to Dev's office and getting drenched in the process, she finally managed to enter the lift space...pressing the button of the elevator she waited for it to take her to 13th floor where Dev's office was...the elevator stopped and the door clicked open...she hurriedly came out only to be greeted by Tina who was waiting for the lift to take her to the ground floor...
Tina : Ma'am aap yahan? Ohhh...to aap hai sir ki personal guest jinke liye unhone saare staff ko jaldi chutti de di...taaki koi aap dono ko disturb na kare...shaadi ke baad bohot difficult ho jaata hoga na aap dono keliye kuch waqt akele bitana...it must be really hard for a newly wedded couple living in a joint family to find some privacy;
Sona could feel her cheeks go red and hot by the choice of Tina's words...
Tina : arrey par aap to puri tarah se bheegh gayi hai, aise rahengi to bimaar pad jayengi, chaliye main aap ko kuch de deti hoon change karne keliye...
Sona : arrey nahi Tina, tumhe der ho rahi hogi, tum jaao ghar, main kuch manage kar loongi tum fikar mat karo...Dev ke paas honge na emergency keliye kuch kapde...nahi bhi honge to bhi who arrange kar denge...you don't worry...
she assured her...coaxing her to leave...
Tina : accha thik hai, koi problem ho yah aapko kuch chahiye ho to mujhe kabhi bhi call kar sakti hain aap, mera phone hamesha on rahega...
she flashed her famous smile while getting into the elevator as Sona made way for her...clicking the ground floor button Tina mouthed "ENJOY" to Sona, to who blushed even more deeply as the elevator door closed...
Sona calmed herself down and made her way to Dev's cabin, she was about to knock on the door when she found the door was already unlocked, pushing the door open she entered the cabin only to be greeted by an ever smiling Dev...but the very next moment he got concerned seeing her completely drenched...he straight away coaxed her to change...but soon he realized that barring his one set of clothes kept for emergency purpose, there was nothing she could change into...finally he reached a conclusion that she should be changing into his clothes as in he could not afford his darling wife falling sick...so ignoring her protests he forced her to obey his command and as always after a little protesting she finally gave in...
Dev handed over his clothes to her and guided her to the washroom in his cabin...getting into the washroom she picked up Dev's shirt and wore it only to find that it was too long for her and if she wore the trousers along with it she would be looking nothing but like a scarecrow from the fields only to be mercilessly mocked and ridiculed by Dev. But going out infront of Dev only wearing his shirt was equally embarrassing, she thought. In a state of two minds Sona didn't realize at all that it had been quite some time that she been inside the washroom. Here Dev was getting impatient as he had already arranged the food which he had ordered a while ago, for the two of them, and here Sona was taking ages to come out of the washroom.
Dev : Sona aur kitna time yaar, tum ladkiyan bhi na seriously, kitna time leti ho change karne mein, shaadi mein thodi na jaa rahe hain hum, jo tumhe itna time lag raha hai, jaldi karo na yaar...
Sona : Dev who actually change to maine kar liya hai par ek choti si problem hai, aapke kapde mere liye kuch jyaada hi bade hain, thik se fit bhi nahin aa rahe...
sona hesitated to tell him that his shirt itself was covering her upto her knees...
Dev : to problem kya hai, arrey chahe jitni bhi funny lago par main tumhara mazaak nahi udaonga, tumpar hasunga bhi nahi pakka , aur yahan mere alawa aur koi nahin hai, so tumhe embarresed feel karne ki koi jaroorat nahin hai, ab bahar aa jaao bas, khana thanda ho jayega, jaldiii...
Sona had two options with her now, either stay locked in her washroom till her saree dries up or else step out of the washroom wearing just a shirt...her mind mocked her for thinking of going out infront of Dev only wearing his shirt...but her heart was reasoning out as in there was absolutely no need to shy off as her husband had seen her wearing absolutely nothing many times...and here she was still covered upto her knees...she thought for a while and decided to go with the second option...setting out one foot at time she came out of the washroom only to see Dev busy getting their plates ready to be served...hesitatingly she called out to Dev...
His brain stopped functioning as he turned towards her voice to look at her...there she stood dressed only in his shirt...hair wet, dripping...the shirt clinging to her body almost revealing her inners to him due to her wet body...adreline rushed within him as his throat went dry with desire...desire to grab her, kiss her, to strip her off all her minimal clothes... to make love to her then and there itself...wait did he forget that they were in his office and not in their bedroom...where they could give into their desires and make love...but wait wasn't this a still better place to get under the sheets?...here they were away from their family...all alone to spend some romantic moments with each other...with no botheration of somebody knocking on the door or entering their room uninvited.
