Thanks to my wife

Author's POV

Vinay came back to Chowdary's mansion and went to Abhi's study. He gave the necklace to Abhi, he took it and went into his secret room connected to his study which no one knows. He kept the necklace in locker. He want to surprise her giving it back on her birthday which is a month away and confess his feelings.

While closing the locker he saw the mystery box that man gave him 2 years ago. He thinned his lips sadly remembering the man who pleaded Abhi to bring justice. He took the box in his hands and traced the 'TR' craving on it. He saw at the carved letters at the end of the box to right side.

For you. Love you pumpkin
                           - from your cavemen

Tears filled in his eyes remembering the man pleading to save his girlfriend, wishing her to be happy instead of mourning over his death.

Abhi wiped his tears and put it back in locker. He went back to study saw Vinay busy in observing the surroundings muttering about how much rich people spend money lavishly on everything.

Abhi smiled hearing him and went to him clearing his throat. Vinay startled and turned to Abhi.

"I'll take my leave now, sir" said Vinay.

"You have done a great job, Vinay. Am incrementing your salary into double" said Abhi.

"Sir, it's really kind of you but I can't accept it. I mean I want you to increment my salary seeing the work progress I do in office but not this. Don't take me as arrogant and foolish person, I work as your P.A. and I could accept anything only if my P.A. work is effective. Infact you took care of my 80 years grandparents to 5 old niece even when I didn't ask your help, if I accept this incrementation, I feel like am taking advantage of my billionaire boss" said Vinay with a smile.

This is why Abhi like him alot. Vinay was never a greedy man but a selfless and considerate man. Even when goons sent by Kashyap attacked Abhi, Vinay didn't care about his life and saved Abhi.

Abhi smiled at Vinay and patted Vinay's shoulder.

"I agree Vinay, you did something personal work of mine but you are like my right hand too and you dealt with that bastard in the way you have to. But Vinay, am not incrementing your salary because you helped me but you helped society. Many people in need of money keep their valuable things at stake which hold their many memories but that financer was playing with them and taking advantage of their situation like he did with my wife. Now, it's because of you he is sent to jail and his dirty plans are out which helped the society, Vinay. He told few things even before you asked that's because the way you manipulated without doing anything, it was because of the way you portrayed with your simple talks like you greeted him in your language, your traditional way of talking etc. Accept it for saving many people who would have come to him and get fooled" said Abhi leaning on the table with crossed hands over his chest. Vinay nodded understanding and smiled.

Sitaara came back home and hid the papers in her locker. She took a shower as it was bright sunny day which made her sweaty. Changing into brown sleeveless chudidar. Leaving her hair open, she walked out of the room.

She saw Vinay and Abhi coming out of the room. She grinned seeing Vinay.

"Hey!! Vinay Bhaiyya" screeched Sitaara making them look at her. Abhi took a sharp breath seeing her. Since Vinay is from North india she agreed to call him bhaiyya instead of 'anna'. In a very short period of time and 3-4 meets, they became close and he treats her as his sister.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Chowdhary" said Vinay with a smile.

"I told you to call me Sitaara. Am like your sister" she complained while Abhi was wondering how could she manage her pain. In the video call he saw her in tears and now, she is behaving as if nothing happened, which made him look at her amusement.

"Sorry mam. You are my boss's wife. I can't disrespect you calling you by your name" said Vinay.

"Then, your boss's wife itself ordering you, call me Sitaara orelse I will make your boss send you resignation letter. You want that?" Asked Sitaara sternly. He gulped shaking his head in no.

"No don't do that, Mrs Chow....Sitaara" he said looking at Abhi with fear. She narrowed her eyes.

"Why are you afraid of him? If he scolds you for calling me with my name, resignation letter, to get down CEO post will be sent to him by his father. I will make sure of it" said Sitaara crossings her arms over her chest.

"Don't do that, sweetheart. Am not scaring Vinay, it's just my presence itself make them nervous and fear and Vinay, I don't have a problem with you calling my wife with her name" he said smiling. Vinay smiled nodding his head.

"Why everyone get scared of you? You are a monster" she said.

"Not everyone get scared of me. There is one person who don't get scared of me instead she will make me scared or worse is she threaten me to kick out of my own mansion" he said. She smiled.

"Then I know the person, I must thank your wife, Sitaara Dev Shetty for scaring you" she said and giggled.

"Then shall I convey your thanks to my wife, Sitaara Abhimanyu Chowdary?" He asked stressing Sitaara Abhimanyu Chowdary.

"Gladly" she said smiling brightly. In a blink he pulled her to him by her waist and kissed both her cheeks multiple times muttering thank after every kiss. Vinay's widened seeing romantic side of his lion boss who used to keep women out of his sight let alone touch them.

"Argh...not again!! Why are you guys are hell bent to make my eyes loose it's Virginity?" They heard Dhruv's voice. They turned to him and saw him leaning on wall side ways with hands in his pockets.

"Sir, are you virgin?" Blurted out Vinay making Dhruv's eyes widen.

"What kind of question is that, Vinay bro? Ofcourse I am Virgin" shouted Dhruv.

"Sorry, don't get me wrong. It's just I saw you with many girls, precisely daily a different girl, so I thought you as-"

"A playboy?" Asked Dhruv cutting off Vinay. Vinay nodded hesitantly.

"Yeah!! I am found with a new girl every new day but I never crossed my limits. Except flirting, I don't do anything. I never touched a woman inappropriately though I had 'n' of girlfriends who are ready to give themselves to me, Vinay bro. In short, am 22 years old Virgin" he said air quoting his last sentence. They chuckled at his dramatic way of replying.

"BTW how do you know about it?" Asked Dhruv.

"You are asking as if your flirting thing isn't obvious to anyone" mocked Abhi rolling his eyes.

"Actually, Abhimanyu sir asked me to a keep tab on you so that your girlfriend's don't take advantage of you, so I know that way. Am sorry" said Vinay.

"I understand my brother's care towards me and don't be sorry Vinay bro, everyone around me thinks me as a playboy and anna as a gay" blurted out Dhruv. Sitaara's eyes widened.

"What?" Yelled Sitaara in shock.

"Vadhina(sil), you don't know? Everyone thi-"

"Dhruv" warned Abhi cutting off him.

"Dhruv continue. Don't get scared of your brother" said Sitaara.

"This for invading privacy by arranging spy on me, anna" said Dhruv smirking and turned to Sitaara

"Yes, it's true, Vadhina (sil). Everyone thinks anna as gay. Funniest thing is, media declared that Anna is in relationship with his P.A. aka Vinay bro as they both always be away from women and stick to eachother where ever they go" said Dhruv and burst out laughing. Sitaara joined him laughing. Both were clutching their stomachs and were laughing. Vinay's and Abhi's turned red in embarrassment.

"Stop it both of you" yelled Abhi.

"Hahaha.. Mani..is that..true? Hahaha..you ...are a ..gay?" Asked Sitaara in between her laughs.

In next second she was pinned to wall by him and he pressed himself on her.

"Do you feel something poking on your abdomen or did you feel something when you sat in my laps earlier? Huh?" He asked huskily and pressed his lower body on hers more.

"It's my junior getting erected with just your presence around me. Is that enough to prove my sexuality?" He asked shamelessly in her ears. Dhruv and Vinay closed their ears at Abhi's Shameless blabbering.

"Or shall I prove it in othe-"

"No!! I agree you are a straight man" said Sitaara cutting off him. He smirked and pressed his nose against her cheek kissing close to her lips. She pushed him and started running. She reached stairs and turned back to him.

"It's not Dhruv but it's you who has to keep check on yours words, you shameless pervert" she yelled and giggled.

"This version of me is only available to you Mrs Abhimanyu" he yelled back and chuckled.

"Idiot" she screamed laughing and ran downstairs. He was also laughing looking at her back. His eyes caught Vinay who was looking at Abhi in shock.

"Now, don't call a doctor like last time because I laughed, Vinay. With her around me all I can do is laughing" said Abhi as few days ago, Abhi was talking to Sitaara during lunch through a call and laughed out loudly when she told him something, just then Vinay entered the cabin and was shocked to see his boss laughing who never even once smiled since he started working for him and created a ruckus calling a doctor to check on Abhi.

Vinay chuckled nodding his head in no. They started descending the steps.

"Honestly, I never thought you to could talk and laugh like this, sir" said Vinay.

"Thanks to my wife, Vinay. She is changing me. For good" said Abhi smiling.

"Am happy for you sir" said Vinay.

"But I pity my SIL to tie up to my grumpy brother instead of someone like me who are always jovial" said Dhruv. Abhi stopped at last step and turned to Dhruv dangerously.

"What do you mean by someone like you, Dhruv? What does your brain cooking?" Asked Abhi with narrowed eyes. Dhruv gulped looking away.

"She is your sil, Dhruv. Don't you dare even joke about something stupid like this. Sitaara is mine. You get that, Dhruv? She is mine, only mine" he said dangerously.

"She is only yours Anna. Am sorry if I conveyed it in wrong way. Sitaara Vadhina (sil) is like a mother to me and I understood what are you thinking but strike it off, I never even once I felt to date...I mean I felt something stupid. Not now, not even when she was single" said Dhruv calmly and honestly. Abhi looked away.

"I'll leave sir" said Vinay looking at them.

"Where to Vinay bhaiyya?" Asked Sitaara coming towards them.

"Since sir took a day off, I need to go office to look after few things that to be managed in sir's absence" said Vinay.

"Office? I thought you were going to kindergarten to learn alphabets" she mocked. Vinay looked at her puzzled.

"Come and have lunch with us. Then, you can go" said Sitaara.

"No no no, Sitaara. I-"

"We are not taking 'no' as your answer Vinay beta, come and join us" said Sakshi smiling.

"Am sorry, Mrs Chowdhury! I can't have lunch with my boss family" said Vinay. Sitaara huffed.

"Why? Do we seem like aliens to you? Aren't we humans? Or is it written in constitution that employees shouldn't have lunch with their boss family?" Asked Sitaara as sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Don't get me wrong, Sitaara-"

"Then come and join us orelse I'll take you wrong" she said. Vinay sighed and looked at Abhi who nodded his head.

"Why are you looking at your useless boss at everything? When he is with me am the boss not he. You should be abided by my order instead of your arrogant boss" she said flipping her hair. Everyone laughed at her.

"Come on Vinay don't disobey your boss's boss order if your job is dear to you. She even threatens me to get me off chairman position if I don't obey her and trust me she is dangerous person to deal with" joked Aman making everyone laugh. Vinay nodded and joined them for lunch.

He took his seat and Disha sat across him with a dreamy eyes and happy smile. Anish and Astha joined them. Vinay stood up greeting, Anish gestured him to seat.

"Am not your ruthless boss, Vinay and please no formalities out of the business world. Am like your friend" said Anish. Vinay smiled. After serving everyone Sitaara was about to take her seat beside Dhruv, he pulled Disha beside him. She looked at him confused and sat beside Aastha. Dhruv knew Abhi looking at him but he didn't turn to him. He was hurt by Abhi's misconception of his closeness with Sitaara.

"Vinay bro do you have a girlfriend?" Asked Dhruv out of blue making Vinay choke on his food and Disha look at Vinay for answer.

Sakshi patted his head passing water to him. After sometime he composed himself.

"Sorry, I asked you because it will clear our doubts as even you didn't appear with a girl and won't even look at a girl" said  Dhruv.

"Dhruv, don't you have a topic other than discuss about gender?" Asked Abhi annoyed but Dhruv ignored him.

"Anyways I didn't get my answer, bro. Tell me you love someone right?" Asked Dhruv making Disha curiousity grow. Vinay looked at elders as they aren't objecting him.

"We don't mind our kids falling in love untill they chose a wrong person, Vinay" said Vijay, Abhi's grandfather. Vinay smiled.

"Tell us Vinay, do you love someone? We help you in fixing the marriage" said Anjali. He blushed nodding his head slightly. Disha's heart sank. Tears filled in her eyes.

"Who is that girl? Is she good? How does she look? Where does she live? Does she love you back? What does she do? How did you-"

"Wait!! Disha let him answer" said Naman cutting off Disha. Sitaara didn't miss the way Disha is looking at Vinay, how she is trying gain his attention, how curious she is to know about Vinay's girlfriend.

"She lives in mumbai. I saw her when my grandmother was admitted in hospital, she came with her senior doctor, she is an intern as she an MBBS student. My family too liked her very much for her sweet nature, for her care to my grandmother. In short period of time she won my whole my family's heart. She looks very beautiful, with perfect features. It was love at first sight" said Vinay with shining eyes.

"Except the fact that she is an intern there I don't know anything about her, not even her name. I wanted to ask my family but backed off. Whenever I go to Mumbai I will take my grandmother simply just to see her. Even she smiles at me, looks at me the I look at her but we never spoke to eachother" said Vinay with dreamy eyes and a blush crept on his cheeks. Cousins hooted making him blush more.

"Don't worry, Vinay. If she is destined to you, she will becomes no matter what" said Damini. He smiled nodding his head. Rest of the lunch went happily but Dhruv was ignoring Abhi which hurted Abhi alot.

"Your family is kind hearted and am really grateful for working you people" said Vinay.

"We reciprocate what we receive from people, Vinay just like a mirror' s reflection. Mess with us and you are gone" said Vijay. Vinay smiled and walked out waving at everyone.

Sitaara noticed Disha following Vinay, she too followed Disha.

"Vinay" shouted Disha running behind him.

"Yes mam" said Vinay turning to Disha.

"Don't call me Mam, call me Disha" she said.

"Sorry!! I won't" he said as even he understood her weird behaviour around him.

"Do you need anything?" He asked.

"Vinay, can you pick me up from college in the evening this Saturday? I want to tell you something important" said Disha.

"Your drivers are there, brothers are there why would I pick you up, Mam? Untill Abhi sir order me I won't get involved with his family members in anything. Am sorry" he said and turned to go.

"Wait! Please Vinay let's go out for dinner or lunch or for atleast coffee. I need to talk to you" said Disha.

"I don't know your intentions mam but I won't be going anywhere with you. If you really want to say something important, just say it now but don't ask such things" said Vinay. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes, she smiled at him.

"I love you, Vinay Mehta. I would like to become Mrs Disha Vin-"

"Stop it!! Stop right there mam. I already love a girl with my everything plus Abhi sir offered me job, let a worker like me to let you in your mansion because he trust me. I don't want to break it hitting on his sister behind his back. I don't love you neither will do in future. It's better if you realise that it's just an attraction" he yelled at her and started moving. She ran behind him and hugged him from behind.

"Please give us a chance. I am ready to leave everything for you. Ple-"

He pushed her making her fall on floor and ran away from there. Disha was on floor crying looking at him going away in his car. Sitaara who witnessed everything walked to Disha and kept her hand on Disha's shoulder.

"Let's go inside" she said wiping Disha's tears.

"You saw everything. Didn't you?" Asked Disha. Sitaara nodded.

"How can you spy behind me Vadhina (sil)? Don't I deserve a privacy? Now, what are you gonna do? Tell my brother? Go, do it. I don't care. He will scold me or he will send me abroad listening to you who is mere stranger isn't it? After all you wrapped him around your little finger and made him run behind you like a puppy just like a bitch you are" yelled Disha logiclessly. Sitaara didn't take her yells to her heart as she can understand Disha being immature and she is in pain of rejection.

"Get up, Dishu. Let's go inside. It won't look good crying on floor" she said politely. Disha stood up furiously and started walking inside pushing Sitaara making her fall on ground but Disha didn't care to look back. Wincing in pain, Sitaara stood up dusting her clothes, and followed her silently. Disha stopped in middle and turned to Sitaara. She ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"Am sorry, Vadhina(sil). I didn't mean to shout at you. It's just I felt ashamed to get rejected. I felt bad to get rejected. He don't love me. He rejected me whereas am loving him since two years" cried Disha. Sitaara hugged back smiling.

"I didn't mind your yells, Dishu. You are like my little sister. And about Vinay, you can't force someone to love you. Love should happen on its own. He already loves someone, you can't ask him to shower same feelings at you, it's utter foolishness because if he does it would be fake. Move on and concentrate on your studies" said Sitaara.

"I love him. How can you ask you me to move on?" Cried Disha on Sitaara's shoulder.

"Okay, don't move on and stop concentrating on studies, now tell me if you do that is he gonna love you back? No! Then why? He love some other girl, Disha. You hoping him to come back to you and love you which can't happen will kill you in pain. Don't hung on something, expecting something which can't happen and
