Recap: Staying a night together - Workaholic Vaibhav.

"What are you saying?" Vaigha was shocked hearing SathyaPratap's words.

"Yes.. today evening you are coming with us...to your husband's...no...your home..."SathyaPratap once again told.

Vaigha stood there without any movement.
"Are you joking?"she asked.
"We are not.."Nandini spoke this time.
Vaigha sat on a chair in confusion.
"How can I??" She asked holding her head.
"Why can't you? Its your home..one day you should start living there..."Her uncle said.
"It's not like that I don't want to see my husband's home.. actually I am also waiting to see my new family....but what will I say if anyone ask me who I am?"she asked her doubt.

"No one will ask you...all would be busy..after all its a huge party your husband arranged there...Its me who insisted him to arrange the project success party at the home instead of office this time..I want to give him a surprise through you..."Uncle said and she widened her eyes.

"Do you think Vaibhav will agree for it?I don't want to stress him.."Vaigha said.
"He will be happy the moment when he see you on his house..."Nandini said in excitement.
"No aunty.. I don't think so.."she said.
"Arey .. believe us...he will jump in happiness.."Uncle also supported.

"But..."Vaigha was about to say when both her uncle and aunt gestured her to stop.
"You are coming along with us...and it's final now..."they said together pushing her to a dilemma.

Vaigha's PoV
Finally I got ready for the party. I am still on half mind since I don't know how Vaibhav will react. What if he gets angry for coming to his home without asking him? What if his Sister or brother see me and ask who am I? What will I answer.

My brain continued asking questions and I know there are no answers for all those questions atleast till I reach there.

"Vaigha.. didn't you get ready?"Aunty called from downstairs and I closed my eyes.
"Coming..."I said loudly.

I looked into the mirror and rushed to the hall.

Uncle and Aunty were waiting for me. They smiled seeing me.

"Beautiful..."Aunty said and I smiled slightly.

Within minutes we started journey to my new home. I was biting my nails in tension. Aunty gave me a teasing smile and I glared at her. After a journey of 20 minutes, we reached his house and my heart started beating faster. I was shivering. Uncle asked me to come out of the car. I did so and saw his huge house. My tension increased seeing the people here and there. I prayed to God that nothing should happen wrong.

Suddenly I got an idea. I took my salwar shawl and placed it over my head so that no one can see my face. May be I don't need to answer anyone. Uncle and Aunty laughed seeing my efforts to hide. I slowly moved inside the house along with them. I was taking slow steps behind aunty to avoid unwanted attention. Each moment fastening my heart beat.

Vaibhav's PoV
I was feeling restless as I didn't saw Vaigha for last two days since I was busy with the project. I decided to skip the party and go meet her. But Sanjana and Arjun caught me. They didn't allow me to move away. I cursed uncle for suggesting the idea of conducting party at home. If it was at office, I would have easily escape.

Surprising me, I saw uncle and aunty at the entrance coming towards me. I was shocked and moved towards them.

"What's this uncle? Why did you both come? What about Vaigha? She might be alone at the house.. What if she again think some stupidities and leave me? I asked you to look after her and what you are doing..."I said disheartened.

They didn't reply. Instead started laughing at me.
"So much worried about your wife?" Aunty asked and I smiled thinking about my unknown concern for her. It's true..I am thinking about her a lot now a days.

"Is she fine?"I asked.
"Ask her directly.."uncle said and pulled someone from aunty's backside. I was wondered seeing her with a shy face. She has wrapped her shawl around her so that no one can identify her. I was completely embarrassed. Did she hear what I said to uncle and aunty? I was confused and her smile gave me the answer that she heard all.

"I wont leave you anymore.. Dont worry.."she said and I couldn't hide my smile.
"Let them enjoy... Come Nandini..."Uncle dragged aunty with him.

I became happy. I couldn't believe that my wife is now at my home.
I looked at her in wonder.
"I am sorry... Actually Uncle and Aunty forced me to come with them. I couldn't ask your permission since they planned it as a surprise for you.."she said innocently.
"No problem..you have no idea how much I am happy to see you here..at my.. sorry our home. "I said making her smile.

"Why this new costume?"I asked laughing.
She observed herself and then giggled.
"I don't want anyone to question me.."she said and I hold her hand.
"Come let's see our home.."I said.
"No..on another occasion..Now I want to see our siblings.."She said making me surprise.

"Come I will introduce..."I said.
"No..I just want to see them only..."she said.
I understood her tension. I walked along with her to the hall.

"See..that girl who is distributing soft drinks...guess who she is..." I asked.
"Give me a minute...."she started thinking.
"Ofcourse it must be Anjali..."she said.
"Correct..."I clapped.

I dragged her then to another corner where Arjun and Amar are enjoying with their friends.
"My twins.."I said.
"Wait..I will tell...that blue shirt must be Amar..A seriousness can be seen on his face..like his brother.."she giggled.
"Correct.."I agreed.
"So the other funny one is Arjun.."she said and I nodded.

Then I took her to the side where girls are assembled.
"She is Krithika..."I pointed at Krithika who is busy in gossiping.
"Smart girl.."she commented.

"Where is Sanju?" She asked looking around.
"Here she is.."I pointed to a chair where Sanju is sitting hearing music with headphone.
"She is so cute..."she said making me smile.

"You too..."I said and she blushed.
"Thank you for coming..you made my day..."I said again making her blush.

Suddenly my phone started ringing.
"Vaigha..one minute pls.. Dont go anywhere..."I said attending the phone and moved towards a corner.

Vaibhav moved to a corner speaking in mobile. Vaigha started waiting for him. Suddenly someone collided with her and she was about to fall when the same man caught her through her waist.

He looked at her and wondered. He lost in her eyes which was only visible to him since she has covered herself with the shawl. She felt disgusting with his touch and gaze on her. She tried to move away and he relieved from his dream land. She stood straightly giving him a look.

"I am sorry..I didn't see you.."he said.
"It's ok.."she moved to the corner where Vaibhav vanished. She felt that stranger's eyes still on her and didn't look back. She saw Vaibhav coming to her and immediately hold his hand.
"What happened?"he asked.
"Nothing..."she smiled.
"Come I will drop you at dinner area..."Vaibhav said moving along with her.
*****
Nandini and SathyaPratap were talking with some guests when Vaibhav came to them and hugged them suddenly. The guests smiled and moved away to another side.

"Thank you uncle and aunty ...for bringing her..."Vaibhav said making them smile.
"Seems like you are very happy to see your wife.."uncle said chuckling.
"As a return for your surprise,I have a surprise for you too..."Vaibhav announced making them anxious.

"Just wait for a minute... Kishore.. Come here..."Vaibhav called loudly and Kishore came out from somewhere as if he is not interested.

His eyes were searching for someone and couldn't give attention to his parents.
Nandini and SathyaPratap hugged him. They both became happy seeing their son after a long time.
"Why didn't you come whenever I asked?"Nandini asked.
"I was busy mom.."he replied still looking around.
"How is your company going?" His father asked.
"Better"he said.

Vaibhav smiled and slowly moved to the dinner area to give a company to his wife and also to give some privacy to the parents and son.
