Roopa changes her attire
Preetam PoV:
I woke up and found Roopa still asleep. I stared at her for some time. The most beautiful scene for which I carved every day. Usually, Roopa wakes up soon and gives me this chance to adore her beauty very rarely. Roopa looked innocent and cute. Her lips dried due to the summer effect and she watered her lips with her tongue in sleep.
No, only I have that right to taste her lips. Roopa shouldn't take that right. The possessive husband woke up in me.
I guessed that she was thirsty. I took the water bottle from the table and held her in my arms.
"Take this water, baby," I said, and Roopa opened her mouth but not her eyes.
I made her drink water and applied lip balm to her beautiful lips with my forefinger. I pecked her lips as I couldn't resist. Roopa moved uneasily, and I pulled myself back. I got down from the bed to take a shower as I know if I stay there for a few more minutes, I was sure that I would kiss her deeply and might have her too.
I took a quick shower and came back. Roopa didn't wake up yet. Her phone rang. I picked up the call seeing the caller name as Nandu.
"Hello Roopa, where are you? Are you coming to the meeting? Will you please take a break from your romance with your husband, dude?" Nandu talked continuously without knowing who received the call.
"Nandu, this is Preetam. Roopa is sleeping," I answered.
"What? Preetam, we have an important meeting within half an hour. Roopa must attend the meeting as she is the team leader. I messaged Roopa yesterday night about the meeting. I am calling for half an hour, and she didn't receive the call," Nandu said.
I looked at Roopa. She slept very peacefully like a baby. If it was not for the meeting, I would not have woken her up unless she wakes up by herself.
"Nandu, I will wake her up and will send her to the meeting. Don't worry," I said and disconnected the call.
I went to Roopa. I didn't want to disturb her sleep, but had no other way.
"Roopa darling!" I called her.
"Uhmm," Roopa said in a low voice in her sleep.
"Wake up, sweetheart!"
"Please Preetam, I feel sleepy. Let me sleep," Roopa said.
I took the mobile and called mom to send buttermilk with lemon for Roopa to cure her hangover. Mom sent buttermilk, and I kept it on the table.
"Roopa, please wake up. You have an important meeting today within a half an hour," I said, whispering in her ears.
Roopa opened her eyes at once. I pulled her into my lap.
"Have this buttermilk. It will cure your hangover," I said.
She drank it. I lifted her in my arms and dropped her in the washroom.
"Take a shower, I will give your clothes," I said.
"Preetam, not a saree, give me formals," Roopa said.
"Okay! Meanwhile, brush your teeth," I said, giving her a brush keeping paste to it.
I gave the clothes to Roopa, and she completed brushing. After ten minutes, she came out taking a shower, but I got shocked seeing her. Her hairs are still wet dripping water. I made her sit on the bed and wiped her hairs. I combed her hair and made her ready.
"Are you ok, Roopa?" I asked as she looked dull.
"Yes!"
"Have your tea and breakfast," I said, giving her teacup.
I fed her breakfast as she was going into her sleeping mode again.
"Come, I will drop you at your office," I said.
"What about your breakfast?" Roopa asked.
"I had it while you were taking a shower. There is less time for the meeting to start. Come, let's go," I said, and Roopa came with me.
Roopa sat beside me, and I dropped her at the office in the car.
"Bye! Take care, baby," I said and left for my office seeing Roopa going into the office.
Roopa PoV:
I woke up very late and didn't know about the meeting. Preetam woke me up and helped me to get ready. In fact, he made me ready. I remembered my mom who used to wake me up in my childhood. My mom used to help me in getting ready and send me to the school. Preetam too made me ready and dropped me at the office. He had both qualities of mom and dad. A smile appeared on my face, remembering my luck, i.e. my husband.
I went to the conference hall.
"Roopa, Mitra is coming to India today after four years from Thailand. He will stay here for a month until her girlfriend Shivani gets the passport and visa to Thailand. Once, if he flies to Thailand again, we can never catch him," my officer said to me.
"Ok, sir!" I replied.
"Roopa, you need to change your attire. Because now we are in Telangana state and Shivani is from a rural area. Shivani wears the traditional dress of the state which is a half saree," Sir said, and my team started laughing secretly.
I glared at them. They shut their mouth as their smile faded. After that mall incident, we came back to Hyderabad as Preetam business was here. I hated half saree because I didn't know to wear it properly.
"Sir, after the mall incident, the news about Roopa madam's courage was telecasted in all the TV channels. What if Mitra recognises her?" Nandu asked.
"No, Mr Nandakishore! Mitra is in Thailand for the last four years, though he is the Indian Businessman. Roopa interview was telecasted only in local channels of Bangalore. We took care as soon as we saw her on the news. So, it's not even telecasted in Telangana state or any part of India. It's not on any website too. So, we are sure that it didn't reach up to Mitra as Mitra has no branch or people in Bangalore," the officer explained clearly.
My officer went away, giving instructions to me. Sanjana came to me.
"I will help you Roopa, don't worry. I know how to wear a half saree," Sanjana said.
"It's better if you go instead of me as Shivani," I said, and Sanjana looked at Nandu.
Nandu glared at her.
"Aha, what's going on here? You won't allow your girlfriend to act as Shivani, but you people encourage me to take up the task," I said.
"No, Roopa! Preetam is not as possessive as me. Sanjana is not as smart as you," Nandu said, and Sanjana hit him on the head making me laugh at them.
I knew that Preetam was possessive. He was caring and loving but possessive too. I didn't know how I would handle this mission. Day by day, I got attached more and more to Preetam for his love. I couldn't miss him. I thought to tell him about this mission when he is relaxed and calm, promising him that I wouldn't do anything that hurts him and would be careful.
I wore a half saree and changed my entire into a traditional Telugu girl. I went to the airport to receive Mitra. I held the board with the name Mitra written on it. I suddenly felt vertigo. My head started spinning due to yesterday's alcohol effect. I felt someone holding me placing the hand on my waist when I was about to hit the ground. I closed my eyes before I see the face. I collapsed in someone's hands before meeting Mitra.
