Srusti's POV
" By the way, you were blushing a lot... Did anything happen between you two? " Maya di asked.
" What?? No di... "
" Liar !! Tell me. "
" Di !!! "
" Tell me... "
" He just told me that he loves me and... kissed me. "
" Is that all?? When did he become so slow?? "
" Di !!! " I was shocked.
" Oh !! Yeah, going with your speed... How cute and romantic. All the best... He would lose his patience very soon. "
" Di ..." I hid my face in my palms as I was feeling very shy and everyone around me was too open.
" Awwww... You look so pretty when you blush. I don't know how my brother is keeping himself away from you?? Poor boy. " She said and my face was as red as a beetroot.
" Di, please stop talking like that. " I said but she kept teasing me.
" I am getting late di... Bye. " I had to say this to stop her.
" Hmmm, bye."

I reached the office and made him eat breakfast by threatening him that otherwise, I would have to share it with someone.
He was annoyed but had food and then went out. Manu was clicking the pictures and I was feeding the girls when I thought of something. How could I forget such a thing??
I finished feeding the babies and then I went to look for Manu, I needed her help.
I saw her clicking the pictures, she was really good at it. I waited till her this session was over.
All the model men looked at me and greeted me with a smile but called me ma'am.
" Why are all of you calling me ma'am?? Please, I insist, don't call me ma'am. "
" You are Mohit sir's wife, so we must call you ma'am. " Wasim said.
" But... "
" He would be annoyed and would throw us out. We don't want to lose such a good placement. " Kabir said.
" But it is very awkward... "
" It is fine... " Manu said patting on my back. The men took the break.
" I need your help. " I said to her.
" Yeah !! Anything for you. "
" I need to buy things for my newborn niece Where can I find them??"
" I would have taken you there but how would we manage with kids?? Sonia won't be able to handle them. Hey!!! But all the leading brands are online. You can shop for anything online. Sahil buys so many things for our daughters. I will tell you the sites. "
" Oh, but I don't have my credit card at the moment. "
" It's ok, take mine. "
" Oh no, I can't do that. I have Mohit's card too. He had given me to get whatever I wanted but I have never used it. And don't want to do it now. "
" So, use mine. You can pay me later on or consider it to be a part of your salary. "
" Salary?? Oh yeah!! I have a salary account. I have not used it at all. I have a card from that bank with me. Thanks, I had forgotten about it. " I said and she smiled. She told me from which site Sahil bhaiya orders stuff.
" Enjoy your shopping. And it reminds me, we have to go for the Vidhi's daughter's Birthday. Are you are coming ?? "
" Me?? But I don't even know them and I am not invited. "
" You are, they invited Mohit. So as his wife, you are invited. "
" But, they didn't even know that we are married. It would be very awkward like this. I don't even know anyone. "
" You know Mohit, Sahil and me. You even met Vidhi, she is my cousin and Sandhya bhabhi. They are fabulous people and would love to have you there. Come, Mohit would love it, he is already very sad and upset."
" Hmmm... but how can I go as his wife?? "
" Then come as my friend. "
" Ok... Let me think. "
" No, I insist. For Mohit's sake, please. "
" Ok !! "
" Let's give him a surprise. "
" Yeah!! " I said and she hugged me.
I checked the site and selected many things for the newborn baby, my nephew, Viren and Myra. Then I selected some gifts for Sanya and Suhana and also a birthday present for the birthday girl.
I took out my card for the first time since Mohit opened this account for me. I had never used it. I didn't have to... I had everything in abundance.
Now I can spend on kids. As it is almost 5 months, since I started working with him, it would have at least, eighty thousand or maybe one lakh.
I doubted if the stuff I purchased, came within my credit limit or not, but came to know that there was no credit limit on my card. I purchased everything but the fact kept bothering me. How was that possible?? I get only twenty thousand per month, why would a bank give me a credit card with no credit limits??
I called the bank about my bank balance. The manager sent me my bank statement and it would be an understatement if I say that I was shocked to know the amount it had.
What was that??
Thirty lakh?? ( 3 million)
2 lakhs per month and twenty lakhs were deposited on the day we got married.
What ?? Why??
I needed to talk to Mohit. Why did he deposit so much money in my bank??
I was still lost in my thoughts when I saw him coming. He looked annoyed already. I wanted to ask him but didn't want to fight with him over this.
It was lunchtime and as usual, Mr Fussy eater denied to eat but I knew how to make him eat. Manu shook her head and said we both were made for each other.
We enjoyed the food made by both of us. Manu went away leaving us alone. He kept looking at me but was unusually quiet today.
But why?? What happened?? Where did he go??
" I wanted to ask something... "
" What?? "
" How much salary did you promise to give me?? " I asked and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
" How does that matter?? "
" It does when you have at least 30 times more money in your bank than you knew you had. " I said but he didn't say anything.
" My account has 30 lakh, while I earned only 20 thousand per month. So, there should not be more than one lakh. Thirty lakh?? How?? Why? "
" Can't I put money in my wife's account?? Is it a big crime? Why are you interrogating me like this? "
" How can you do that without my consent?? "
" Oh please, don't find another issue to fight with me. Please !! "
" But I don't want your money. "
" Ok, fine !! Don't use it. Is that ok now?? " He asked pressing his head.
" Are you heaving headache?? "
" No... I am just tired. "
" Go home and rest. "
" No, I have to go to that birthday party. Will you come with me?? "
" How can I come with you?? "
" Of course, you can not hurt your brother and hence would go on a date with another man but can't come to a party with your husband. " He said smiling sarcastically. He was hurt...
I am sorry...
" They don't know, we are married. "
" You can come as my date. You are not married to that man you would go for a date as well. Anyways, it's okay. Excuse me, please... I have some work. " He said, I really felt bad. He loved me.
Just then the girl who was flirting with Mohit, came to the studio as asked him to help her.
I saw that she was coming too close to him and was touching him very frequently and unnecessarily. I was annoyed with her. Mohit was trying to be polite but was not comfortable.
I went towards them, excused myself and said, " You look very tired and you have to go out too, so why don't you rest while I help this lady. "
" No, Thanks!! I don't want help from any sales girl. "
" Ms Roy, for your kind information, she is not any sales girl, she is the owner of this place, my wife. And thanks darling, you are right, I am very tired. But you don't have to help her. Please call Harry, he would help her as she is our special guest. " I nodded and called Harry.
" But I wanted you... "
" Sorry Ms Roy, you can't have him. I mean we have to go out. But rest assured, Harry is his most talented and favourite assistant. He can keep his office working for months even if he is not there." I said. Harry came towards us.
" Yes sir?? "
" Ms Roy, here he is, he can help you. Thanks !! Ms Roy. Have a good day. " He said and then caught my hand and came to his cabin.
" Thanks !! " He said and smiled.
