Time to meet her in-laws officially

~~

Soon, they reach his mansion, in which she still wasn't very comfortable last time. Again they were received with great grandeur. Again, they spend a lot of time walking, while she keeps exploring.

They have their lunch and evening snacks there, before they leave the place. Soon, he brought her to the park, where they rested. She becomes more open and comfortable around him. Since he was being quite bearing and tolerant.

Then, they had their dinner and left back to their company, where she loves to stay. More or less, her new home. She wished him goodnight and was about to leave, when she saw him entering her room.

Once again her brain underwent a mental shutdown.

'My room isn't suitable for sleeping. Please take me in.' He said, while pouting like a cute abandoned puppy, showcasing his big eyes. She just remains rooted to her place.

' I can sleep on the sofa too.' He tried to advertise himself, earning a chuckle from her. She let him in.

Soon he got comfortable with the small sofa and decided to spend the night on it.

This process continues for the entire two weeks. Since, she wasn't able to control herself, after watching him sleep on that tiny sofa like a really abandoned puppy.

Left with no choice, she offered him one side of the bed, which was quite big for two people, if they followed the decorum of sleeping.

It's been three months since that fateful day, when Yuvika has explained her fear to Ashutosh on Car, in the middle of nowhere.

Now, they have been more or less like a couple. They eat together, sleep together, talk with each other without any restraints, she has stopped hesitating too. And the good news, she had stopped calling him boss too.

Though the story behind this news is quite tragic. Ashutosh had implemented the rule of kissing as a punishment, whenever she called him boss. Thus, no boss. He has started calling her 'Sweetheart', while she still refers to him as Mr. Pratihast, as she couldn't come up with any good nicknames as of now for him.

The Raj is growing prosperously as usual. Now they are even making plans to launch The Raj on an international level. Pranav has been completely in-charge of this project, Miss Chauhan under his lead.

While Kirti would come sometime, join them, learn what's going on and then leave the trio to do and die together.

Talking about the love story development, the couple is still in the kissing phase of their love story. Ashutosh has no plans of giving another trauma to Yuvika.

Shivanshi has accepted Yuvika as her sister-in-law completely and she is more than happy for the duo. But what she fears is the next 'Mahashivratri'. She knows her brother has to explain this to Yuvika and whether she would accept them or reject them would be completely up to her.

It would be completely her choice. After all, they had betrayed her. So, they will face the consequences too. But that's the talk for another day.

Within these three months, the couple have taken time out of their schedule to make the ends meet for each other. They have gone to countless dates, roamed around countless places, eat variety of cuisines in and out of The Raj together, done many idiotic and smart thing.

But one thing that didn't change is their habit of cuddling each other to sleep. Under the influence of Yuvika, The Raj now gives little more relaxation to its employees, which vanished with the entry of Kirti and established with exit of Kirti.

Everything was going smoothly, it was like , their life was on the right track. Till that phone call.

~~

Ashutosh was working on one of his projects, when Yuvika came inside without knocking, earning the attention of 18-20 people present in the room, including Ashutosh.

He arched his brow at her in question. She has never ever done that.Never.

' Mr. Pratihast, it's really very urgent.' She couldn't but emphasize on the urgency, making him nod then stare at the people in front of him, who left the duo alone.

'What is it, Sweetheart, that you couldn't even wait till the end of this meeting ?' He asked with a small smile on his face, bringing a small blush on her face.

But the moment she remembered the urgency of the matter, she got back to serious.

'I received a call.' She explained making him frown.

'From your mother.' She added quickly, making him widen his eyes in confusion.

'Why would my mother call you? Wait a minute. She is your mother-in-law too.

See, sweetheart. There's nothing to worry about. It's just a mother and daughter conversation. Just talk with her. No need to be nervous about it. She is very sweet, you know. Just take a deep breath, smile and talk.

That's all.' He couldn't help but advise her, while patting her back gently, to help her remove the nervousness, which he can see is building up.

'B-But… it's… it's too early.' She couldn't help but complain.

'Really! We have been married for months now. How early is it, Sweety?' He asked, while kissing her earlobe gently. Freezing her on the spot.

Gosh, this devil. He really knows how to make her weak instantly. Her breathing got hitched, her heart skipping beats, a normal scenario.

While he started showering pepper kisses in her neck, below the earlobe driving her crazy. She tried her best to not to get lost in the pleasure, in the sweet and slow torture he was giving her. But as if her body was letting her rationality work.

Before she knew it, she was already sitting on the glass table's top, her hand holding the glass tightly, while her body leaning further towards the table to avoid the onslaught.

Unfortunately, Ashutosh wasn't letting her be. He was holding her in one arm and the table on the other, ensuring to not to hurt her at all. She has really become his addiction.

He wanted to kiss her passionately and deeply on the lips. But then, just one look at the surroundings serves as a bucket of cold water to him. They were still in the office, with the main door unlocked.

What if someone enters and witnesses this mess of theirs?

He sighed, then let the squirming girl beneath him go. Making her wonder just which lucky star of hers saved her at the moment. Ah, it's impossible for this guy to stop, once he begins.

' You are really my drug, sweetheart. Unfortunately, I have no intention of giving someone a free show. But you have to bear the consequences later.' He said in a bit of a disheartened tone, while whispering the last sentence near her ear, sending chill down her spine.

'B-But, what did I do? It's your fault, completely. Alright!' She ended up complaining against the injustice she was suffering. Earning a cunning smile from him.

'Oh really! Then, do you want to punish me tonight?' He asked in a deadly serious tone, with a mischievous smirk on his face. Making her blush profusely.

Aish! This fellow.

'I-I was here to talk about some serious matter.' She couldn't help but bring the matter up again.

' What's there to talk about 'that matter'?He asked with a frown.

' I- I…. I am not prepared to face them yet.' She confessed, after all, hiding it would do no good.

' Did she say something that hurt you or you dislike or despise?' He asked her directly, making her ponder then shake her head.

'Then, what did she say?' He asked next, wondering why she is fearing to meet her own in-laws.

'She said, she called you numerous times and you didn't pick her call. So, I am supposed to tell you to call her back, right now.

Oh wait. That right now, was six to seven minute earlier. Holy mother. I am done. It's all your fault.

Now, call her, hurry up.' She said, looking like a person who had stepped in the landmine. All anxious, furious, nervous and scared.

'Oh! Relax. Besides, you should have told me that earlier. Firstly, you distracted me and now you are blaming me. What a fairness, sweetheart!

Nevermind. I will handle her. Just relax. Okay!' He said, trying to calm the girl, who was looking like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode, anytime.

Ashutosh called his mother, while Yuvika acted like a glue to listen to the conversation. In the end, Ashutosh had to put the phone on speaker, in order to avoid the big distraction of his little life.

' I am not listening to any of your excuses. Either you and Yuvika are coming tomorrow to our house, or your father and I are coming to your company.

Choice is yours.' Mrs. Pratihast said and then hung the call, without waiting for any reply.

Yuvika felt like her dear life hung on her, leading her to the path of darkness. Here, she was hoping to escape this situation. Yet, this fellow only knows how to make the situation worse.
