Chapter 37

Rohit's POV



The days passed like hours as we all were enjoying.



The time for her to go to Paris came and she went away for 10 months.



I worked very hard and produced very good results. Our products were highly appreciated and we got many other projects.



Our company was doing very well. We got many more orders of tie and dye designs.



Priya worked on them and she even started batik and block printed garments. They also became hit. But Priya was getting too stressed as she had to help her dad too in his business.



I missed her a lot.

10 months later



I was on the cloud nine as my Sia was coming back in a week. The arrangements for our engagement were going on as the date was fixed for engagement. Exactly 15 days from today.



I completed all the work, as I wanted to be absolutely free when she comes back.



*******



She came back yesterday and I went to meet her at the airport. I couldn't wait to see her after so long... I had wanted to go to Paris to meet her. But then decided not to go as she would get distracted.



Sujoy Bhai and I both were there waiting for her, suddenly I saw her coming. She was looking even more beautiful. I wanted to go and take her in my arms and do all the things, I have been craving to do but her brother was also here and I didn't want to die as my feisty warrior and her brother would have killed me there only.



She came towards us and hugged her bhai first. Sujoy was very happy to see her. He got a bit emotional and went away saying that he needed to go to the washroom. But maybe he wanted to give me a good chance to meet my Sia. It would have been awkward if her brother was there too.



I hugged her hard. I wanted to make sure that she was really there and was not a fraction of my imagination.



She hugged me back. I pulled her aside and took her in my arms again. She smiled at me beautifully.



" So missed me?? " She asked raising her one eyebrow.



" You have no idea, I would have shown you, how much I missed you if your brother was not here.. "



" Hmm ...but he is here... " I nodded looking at her.



" You are looking even more beautiful my feisty warrior. " I said caressing her cheek with my thumb.



" And You are looking more handsome. " She said with a wink. I gasped at her flirty comment and she giggled and hugged me and kissed on my cheek.



" I wish Sujoy bhai had not come... I would have .... "



" You would have, what?? " She asked a bit seductively.



Shit!!!



" Shall we go? ' Sujoy bhai came back.



We collected all her luggage and came out to the parking and went to their place. I said goodbye to everyone while all I wanted was to spend time with her. I was waiting for the last 10 months. But she just came and her family also wanted to spend time with her.



Sia's POV

I knew he wanted to spend some quality time with me. But I just came back and I missed him as well as my parents and Bhai. But it was very sweet of him to go home.

I would meet him tomorrow...

I had a surprise for the Kapoor's. I had sent a few of my tie and dye designs and a few designs of the new techniques I learnt there is a competition and my designs got 1st and 3rd prize.

I had not told anyone about it as I wanted to see their expressions. So when I went to the office, I finally told everyone in the office. Uncle, Rahul Bhai, Rohit and Priya, everyone was so excited. Their happiness knew no bounds. They all praised me a lot. Rohit looked so proud of me.

Yash, Sooraj and Sumit Ji also came and congratulated me. I thanked them and once Yash and Sooraj left. I asked Sumit Ji to wait. Rohit was standing beside me

" So, how is life? When are you and Ruchi getting married, Sumit Ji? " He looked a bit uncomfortable.

" Ummm. I am sorry ma'am but we are not getting married.. "

" What?? Why?? " Both Rohit and I were shocked.

" Let it be sir.. "

" No please tell us. I am really sorry to hear this... " I said.

" Ma'am thing were fine till you met all of us at that restaurant. That day they came to know that you were engaged to my boss and company's CEO. Both Ruchi and her mom got very annoyed and pressurised me to find another job. But I love to work here... Everyone is just so good. I am well respected and very well paid. I tried to make her understand but they both were very adamant. She said, she doesn't want to call you as ma'am. She wanted me to send my resignation. I refused to do that. I swear... I tried to make them understand but she kept, comparing my status with Rohit sir's. One day finally I lost it and I broke the engagement. "

" Oh, I am really sorry for what happened... We didn't want this to happen.. that day, I lost my temper as both of the women were insulting Sia. I couldn't tolerate that and had to say all those things. I am sorry that you had to face the consequences. " Rohit said.

" Not at all sir, I am really glad that it happened. I was ashamed of what happened on my engagement. The behaviour of Ruchi's mom towards ma'am was really bad. She should not have said all those things about her. I could not stop her then....and again when we met at the restaurant, I was shocked to see how they both behaved. That was disgusting they should not have said all those things about ma'am. I was ashamed that day too and I even tried to make Ruchi understand her mistakes. But she never listened to me. I just couldn't think of spending my whole life with someone so immature, illogical and ill-mannered. "

" I understand... But still, I am feeling bad... " Rohit said and I didn't even know what to say.

" Don't feel bad sir, trust me I am very happy... I met someone, she is a gem of a person. Very soft-spoken and sweet. I am very happy. Yesterday I introduced her to my parents and they loved her. We may get engaged by the end of this month. " he looked really happy.

" That is great. We are happy for you. All the best for your future together. " I said to him and smiled. I felt bad for Ruchi that she threw away the chance to get married to such a nice man. But was happy for him, as I knew her very well. Sumit Ji deserved better than her. We both congratulated him and went to Rohit's cabin. I looked at him he was feeling bad for Sumit Ji but was happy for him now. My Rohit was the best... Funny, smart, handsome, caring, loving and empathetic... I am lucky that I got him.

I wanted to kiss him today. He had been so sweet for all those 10 months... Though he missed me a lot but he said that he did not want to distract me. He said that I can call him at any time, whenever I was free. I called him every single day. I missed him a lot and I had fallen more for him.

So I prepared laddoos for him actually for everyone but especially for him.

I went into his cabin and gave him a bag. It contained many gifts I got for him. Then took out a small box with laddoes in them.
