Embracing The Unexpected

Chapter-5 Lighting

"Nhi...hu..humne kabhi kaam nhi kiya h abhi tak"She said thinking his Nanisa Hukum would be disappointed hearing that.

"Ha toh ab krna shuru kr dijiye"His Nanisa Hukum said making Iti finally look into her eyes.

"Yeh Mahal bht bada h akele rehne ke liye....hum bhi bahar jaatein h kaam ki wajah se,Pratap bhi bahar hi rehte h pure din kaam ki wajah se,aapko yaha akele bethne se accha h,ki aap bhi kaam krna shuru kr de"Nanisa Hukum said making Iti immediately nod her head at that.

"Aap hamare business ke finances handle kr sakti h,CA h na aap"Shiv said looking at his wife now.

Iti could do that,it wasn't difficult for her but she would have to go to his office for that which she wasn't prepared for.

She didn't wanted people at his office to judge her constantly which she knew they would do because she was his wife,the queen of Udaipur after all.

"Haa yeh sahi rahega,aap hamare business ke saare finances dekhiye"Nanisa Hukum said.

"Na...Nanisa Hukum,hum ghar se hi kaam kare?"Iti asked then mustering some courage.

Nanisa Hukum stared at her for her odd request but didn't said anything and just nodded finally making a small smile appear on Iti's lips.

"Pratap inke ghar se hi kaam krne ke saare intezaam krwa dijiyega"Nanisa said and Shiv nodded his head at that.

"Chaliye,hum chalte h,hamari ek bht zaruri meeting h aaj"Nanisa Hukum said as she was done with her breakfast and then left.

Shiv stared at his wife then once his Nanisa left.

"Ghar se kaam kyu krna chahati h aap?office mein behtar hoga aapke liye"Shiv said looking at her but her eyes were fixed on her plate which made him a lil mad.

Why can't she look at him when he talks to her?

"Upar dekhiye Iti"Shiv said and she moved her eyes from her plate to his face which was waiting for her answer.

"H..hame office nhi aana"Iti said making him sigh.

Why though?

"Kyu?"Shiv asked not leaving this here.

"Hu..hum focus nhi kr payenge waha,ghar pr hi thik h isliye"Iti said.

Why did she have to stutter before saying anything to him or his Nanisa Hukum?

There were a lot of things that he didn't knew about his newly wedded wife and he had to be patient to know more about her.

"Thik h,jesi aapki marzi"Shiv said and Iti nodded then.

They finished their breakfast in silence then and Shiv left for his practice again while Iti went to the only place she loved in this huge palace.

The library.

She was again engrossed in yet another mystery filled romantic novel.

The sudden knock on the door broke her concentration making her look at the intruder.

"Ranisa,Rana sa ne aapko lunch ke liye bulaya h"The househelp said making her nod at him.

Iti sighed.

She didn't wanted to leave this book just yet but she can't deny the lunch offer or her husband might get angry.

She made her way towards the dining table and settled on the right side as her husband sat on the head chair.

The lunch was being served to them and both of them didn't say anything to each other.

Shiv wasn't sure what he should talk to her about,Iti was still very hesitant and concious around him.
