Chapter-25

Shraddha Kumar Malhotra

"Mom" he shouted.

‘Well, now you have got your punishment then you have realized that your wife is a very big prankster. So don’t mess with her Mr. Aaron Malhotra.’ I thought in my mind looking at him who was descending the stairs.

Looking at him all started laughing.

"What happened Aaru?" mom asked him after controlling her laugh.

"Mom see my hair” he showed her his hair.

We all again started laughing looking at his hair. His hairs are matted in one direction. I know the cause of this as I was the one who did it. I mixed glue in his hair gel which gave us this result. I shared this with Shreya so she knows that I’m the one behind this.

Shreya and I gave hi-fi to each other. I looked at him to see he was glaring at me but there was something else in his eyes. It feels like something is going to happen today.

 
‘Shraddha darling, run for your life before he eats you alive' my mind advised me.

Before he started speaking I started running. I began to run from the living room to the stairs. He came from another direction and before I realised he caught my hand in his grip. He dragged me with him in our bedroom. He locked the door and started taking the slow steps one by one towards me.

‘God save me from this monkey monster.’ I prayed to god.
 
Just like a predator going towards his prey, he was coming towards me.
I know what you all are thinking that she is a karate teacher then why she is fearing him.  I can handle 6-7 men at a time, I can beat the shit out of them but when it comes to my husband I forget everything. I can’t handle him like those men because whenever he comes near me his proximity creates some unknown havoc inside me. With his closeness, my hearts start racing. Please God, save me from this situation.

I think God is not with me today because Aaron was already standing so close to me that words were not coming out of my mouth. He caged me between the wall and his body. He kept both of his hands on both sides to the wall which made him come close to me. His hot breaths were fanning on my face.

"What did you do to my hair Shraddha?" he asked me in a dangerous predator tone.

"I did not do anything," I said innocently.

"Don't act smart ok. I know it's you only" he said with a glare.

"Yes, I did it. What will you do now?" I asked him with courage.

Even though I was showing the courage from inside I was trembling because of his proximity.

"Why and what you did?" he asked still holding me in his muscular arms making my heart beat raise.

"Why because yesterday you called me a crazy kitten and then you took my place. And I mixed glue in your hair gel which caused this effect." I said huffing irritatedly.

"What place?,” he asked with confusion.

"Don't act innocent ok. I know that you deliberately slept on the left side of the bed to disturb my sleep. Because of you yesterday it was so hard for me to sleep.” I told him with a glare.

"Why would I do that? What will I get by disturbing your sleep? One more thing from now on I will always sleep on the left side only." he replied with an equal glare.

"I don't know that but only I will sleep on the left side. Do whatever you want." I said stubbornly.

"I will sleep in my place only on the left side of the bed. What will you do," he said in the same tone.

"Ok then try to save yourself from me because I'm going to torture you every day with my pranks," I said to him.

"Ok dear wifey let's see who will win in this but for now you will get a punishment for this," he said pointing towards his hair.

“What Punishment?" I asked.

"Yes, punishment. You will work as my assistant in my office and the academy," he said in a dangerous tone.

"No," I declared.

"What?," he asked.

"I said no,” I said in a serious tone.

"I'm not taking no from you. I already said you will work as my assistant. That's final" he said in a warning tone.

"But how will I work with you? I already have a job." I said finding myself an excuse from his punishment.

"Don't worry I will talk with your cafe owner," he said.

I'm not worried about my job but I'm worried about my studio. I have to take help from Divi.

"Ok I will take the Punishment but what will be the timing of my working hours?” I asked him.

“Why?” he asked.

“I also go to some other work also,” I said frustratingly.

“What is some other stuff?" he asked again making my anger raise.

"That is none of your business," I said glaring at him.

"You will work with me as my assistant so you will be my shadow so where I will go you have to accompany me. You will work until 5 o'clock” he said.

"Ok," I said in a defeated tone.

After going downstairs he informed about the same to mom-dad and Shreya- Riya. He also convinced them saying that I wanted some experience so he offered me this job.

“Monkey monster, how can someone be so cunning.” I thought, looking at his face who was smirking.

After eating breakfast I changed my dress into formals. I checked myself in the mirror. I tied my hair in a ponytail.

I went downstairs and took the blessings of mom-dad and hugged Shreya. I took the glance of my husband whose mouth is hung open.
I chuckled looking at his face.

‘Close your mouth Mr. Husband or else flies will enter.’ I thought.
I cleared my throat to get his attention.

"Shall we?" I asked controlling myself to not to snap at him.

"After you," He and his attitude.

Behaving like gentleman.

Gentleman my foot.

Arrogant monkey monster.

This name definitely suits him.

Near Parking space of Malhotra mansion

“Brother, I have some work in the bank so I’ll be a little late to reach the office,” Riya said.

“Ok, but take the driver-uncle with you,” Aaron said to her and asked the driver's uncle to take her to the bank.

Then we both went into one car to the office. The car entered the big campus of the building named as Malhotra’s.

But Aaron directly took it to the underground parking floor 2 which is wholly allocated for only Malhotra and their close family/friends.
From there we have an elevator which directly takes us to the top floor of the building.

As we entered the top floor, everyone stopped their work and looked at us. They stand up in respect to Aaron.

“Good Morning everyone, I would like to introduce you to my New PA Miss Shraddha.” He announced.

On this floor, only a few staff works such as assistants of secretary, a few admin staff as well as some researchers. From here we have to take small stairs to the CEO’s cabin or floor we can say.

Everyone came forward and greeted me with a big round of applause. Few of the employees introduced themselves. Few of the girls around my age were glaring at me as if I stole their favourite candy. Well, I don't care. But looking at them I think my husband has many girls following from the office.

‘Girls, beware of me because I won't spare anyone for making a mistake of entering into my territory’ I thought to myself.

Suddenly I was stiffed by someone's question. I saw that the one who asked the question is from the troop of glaring girls.
 
"Sir, why did you replace Riya? And why this new girl?" One girl asked, glaring at me.

"Ms Singh, first of all, who are you to ask me questions about why you replaced someone or hired someone? Another thing is that I didn't replace Riya. I just gave another employee a job. I don't want Miss. Riya to get a burden of both the work of PA and Secretary so I hired Ms. Shraddha as a PA. Is anyone have a problem with that?” His voice boomed at whole office  making the employees gulp in fear.

"No sir" she gulped, listening to his tone.

So my husband is very strict in the office. Oh, he is a monkey monster only in the house.

"Get back to the work," He said dispersing everyone to their work.

"Ms Shraddha, come to my cabin," He said.

"Ok Aar... Sir" I stuttered.

We went to his office. It's beautifully arranged systematically. We can see the Arabian Sea from the glass wall of his cabin. The cabin has a proper professional aura.

"Completed?" He asked arrogantly.

"Huh," I asked with confusion.

"Checking out my cabin?" He said with frown.

"Oh sorry" I apologize.

He showed me another room which is a personal room for him which consists of a bed, few kitchen appliances and a washroom.
We came back to his cabin.

“May I come in sir?” Someone knocked on the door.

“Yes,” He replied.

Riya came inside the cabin and smiled looking at us.

"Ok, Riya also came so she will explain to you everything. For now, send a coffee in my cabin. And Riya doesn’t worry, I’m not firing you or transferring you. It is her punishment” he said.

"Ok sir" I replied.

I went outside and she led me to my cabin which is attached to his cabin.

"Punishment But why?" she asked.
I explained everything to her. We both burst out laughing.

"You mixed glue in his hair gel. You are genius Sister in law," she said Patting my back.

After that, she showed me the small kitchen area on this floor and taught me how to make coffee for him. I went to his cabin and knocked on the door. He permitted me to enter. I kept coffee on his table. He asked me about his schedule. Riya already told me his schedule for a day so I informed him about the same.

"Your meeting is with Mr Singhania," I said.

"Ok," he said.

After lunchtime, I was done with the paperwork given by him so I decided to submit the documents to him so I knocked on his cabin and entered when I received a positive response from the other side.

I submitted the documents and also gave him a report of those papers. He was looking at me in awe.

After submitting the documents, I was coming out of his cabin when someone bumped into me. I closed my eyes in fear of falling down but before I fell someone caught me in his arms...............
