Malarvizhi pov:

Its been a week of that coffee incident. He made difficult for my plan of avoiding him, because am  ended up liking him more.

After two days mom and dad came. When she get to know about my burned hand. She literally started to scold. But when Vikram said that Aaditya took care of me. She started to smile. Vikram and me even get more closed. Sometes I miss my brother. But Vikram helped me to meet up with my brother. Now I have two brother.

Me and Aaditya gone to the earlier state. Like we both acknowledge only during breakfast and dinner. I prepare lunch for everyone. In office we don't even  meet each other. That is practically impossible. But sometimes Aaditya used to smile at me. And we both don't do conversations too. 😢😪

Its okay Malar don't be like shit. Please Malar don't go to your past self. Which I don't even want to think.

Today is some pooja day. So mom asked me to wear an saree. After helping with her everything. We all started to have breakfast. In dinning Hall, which I like the most is my place, because I always sit beside Aaditya. He everytime inspect my plate as am having the enough food or nota, as though am an small child. If I had 2 dosa means then he volunteerily put one more. I don't eat much dosa. But alas that gaint which is sitting beside me won't leave me, so without any other choice I will eat. Everyone in the table too will smile.

"Aaditya and Malar, today is auspicious day so you both have to visit the temple. Either you both visit  in the morning or evening. But its necessary." Mom said to us. Iam okay with any timing.

"We will visit morning itself Mom."Aaditya said to Mom. Mom just nodded her head.

I gone to the pooja room and took the necessities for doing pooja. It's only 8 'O clock. I have 2 hours. Aaditya he is the CEO, so no worries.

We both sat in the car. He started the engine. I just viewing outside through the window. He is driving. Ahhh.

"How is your work going" Aaditya asked me. What? he will speak, that too with me.

"Same work, work, but fine somewhat" I said to him smilingly.

He nodded. Okay.....

"How is yours" I asked him.

"Yeah the same" he replied to me.

After that we didn't speak. Around  15 mins we reached the temple. Its an Lord Murugan temple.

Today am wearing saree, already I will walk fast. Now with the saree I couldn't even walk properly. I think if I had race with old people, they will win.

Aaditya is also walking beside me with my pace only. How sweet of him. Then we both did the pooja. After that we both agreed to sit for 5 mins in the temple steps itself. Now I look like an married woman as I am not hiding any of my married marks.

"They don't look perfect for each other right. He is so handsome, but look at her she is so plump. Didn't he have any taste. If I were him I would have rather die than marrying her." I heard these words. I know they are pointing towards us as we are the only couples sitting there. But don't they have any other fucking work rather than shaming others.

'But the words which they spoke is true right Malar. I mean look at you, did you desrve him' my mind asked me.

'What the fuck are you saying. You are me right. Everyone deserves anyone. It's not an beauty competition. Who is fair will get the fair one. Just shut up. Don't you ever thought of giving your fucking advice Malar mind' I scolded myself. We both are sitting together only. But he is sitting in the further more step. I don't think Aaditya heard the aunty opinion. Because he is busy in explain the details to some of the client with phone call.

Good thing he didn't heard anything. What if he heard it and thought of leaving me. I mean I don't want to leave him at least not now. I mean I too an human being right. I want to live an life. Atleast I want to live with him as much as possible. If not husband and wife atleast an friends. If not an friends too atleast an acquaintance, for the time being. If he think of divorcing me. Then I will be able to live with the memories of us. I even thought of adopting one child and living my life.

Don't think much Malar.

I don't want to give the comeback for them. They can go to hell for all I care. After some more mins I called him. He said bye to the caller. Thank god. Always work

Okay. Then he didn't heard anything. I asked him can we go. He too nodded.

When I stood up, he reach out his hand near me as of asking for my hand. Really he wants to hold my hand. What if others seen us and talks the same. Malar leave this shit saying this I placed my hand in his.

He hold my hand tightly. We reached the parking till that he hold my hand. Am so happy.

Then we sat in the car. When he started the engine, he again took my hand and intertwined our fingers. Okay. What is with him right now. I started to blush. Oh god.

I don't know what to do. So with my left hand I just started to fiddle it with my saree. 'Malar when you started to behave like an girl' mocked my mind. I don't need any other person just my mind itself enough to mock me.

I enjoyed the traveling 🥰. I too hold his hand as tightly as I can. I don't want this to end. Will I ever be loved by him.

"Stop the car at office busstop" I said to him.

"Why. I mean I can drop you in the office itself right"

"Are you forgetting, we didn't inform anyone about our marriage"

"Ohh yeah okay okay" he said it like now only he got his brain.

He dropped me before the busstop itself as I asked him. What if someone from there seen us that's why. Then I started to walk to the office. When I reached there, I called krithi.

She said she will reach in 2 mins. So I waited for her. When she came we both entered into the office and gone to our floor.

Then I started to do my work. During break, we both gone to the cafeteria as always I ordered the coffee and she ordered some snacks. I asked her about aunty and uncle. She said that auntywill come after 2 months.

Then we entered into our floor. We are asked to attend the meeting with team lead. So me and krithi gone there.

When am going to open the door. Krithi said "Hy Malar just wait here itself. I forget to bring some files along with me. I need it yaar" I just nodded my head.

So I just waited there. But I heard many voices. I didn't give any importance to them. I think it's from the meeting room. They didn't close the door properly I think soo. Ufff.

"Did you see Malar." asked one male voice

"Who is that fatty?" replied one girl. What the fuck. I thought of going in. But I want to know what they are speaking. So I just stand there.

"She is wearing saree quiet common now a days. And you know, it doesn't even suit her. She should eat less. Whenever I am seeing her, she is eating only. Don't even do the work. " another voice came.

"Yeah man same, these fat girls don't even have control. Always eating eating. Don't even know the existence of gym." first male voice said and started to laugh at his own lame joke. I don't know who this?

"Who in the sane mind will marry her. She is like an mini elephant. If ever she got married. Then her husband is going to die as an celibate. Because think it man, no one will get mood to fuck her right" the second male said. I think the meeting is still not started.

It reminded me about my wedding night. The wedding night Aaditya words started to hear. I couldn't tolerate anything. I just runned to the washroom. Krithi too seen me. But I didn't say anything to her. I need space for time being. I just gone to an restroom and started to puke in the washbasin. As the break is over, no one is present in the bathroom. Krithi came and helped me. Then I washed myself.

When I seen myself, indeed I look fucking ugly. Why god why I look this ugly. I started to cry. Krithi constantly asked me what the issue. I want to take off mind. So I just said every little things to her. I just cried by hugging her. She started to console me. But nothing works. Around 5 mins  I somewhat look okay

Then krithi asked me if I okay. Again I hugged Krithi. Without her what I will do. I said thanks to her. She looks like murdering me. Oops okay. Heeee

Then we both entered into the meeting hall.

But before we enter into the room, there we heard shoutings of someone. What hapenned now.

Me and krithi moved fast and seen the scene. There stood an Aarav who looking like murdering. He is scolding towards the Rahul. He is saying some excuses, then only I grabbed he is the first one to comement on me. That moron is an useless fellow. He is the one who used to body shame me at my first year of work. After some time I used to give him an strong comeback. So now he is taking an revenge I think so.

But what did he do with Aarav now.

"What were you saying to that girl." Aarav. Oh god. Did he too heard the Rahul words about me.

"What are you speaking sir" he asked him.

"I asked you, what you all doing in the meeting hall gossiping rather than working" he asked all of them.

"We were speaking about  work related only sir" that Rahul said again.

"Oh is that so, I too heard it" Aarav said.

What he too heard. It means he too present there. Oh god. I didn't look back. So he too heard it. Ufff

"What are you all an school students, even now in your mature age, doing the shits of body shaming. You are not an illiterate right. They too will have some etiquette to know, what and how  to behave with others. Not like you guys."

"You are a girl right. Don't you have any respect towards other girls" he asked the girl named Ritha. After a lot of scolds. He left them there itself.

He saw me and nodded. He stand up for me. Its not an simple thing for me. You see right from my small age except Krithi no one stood up for me. I thought Aarav won't speak with me as he disgust by  me. But no.

Then he left the room. That three morons just kept standing there by  lowering  their heads.

I followed Aarav with krithi beside me. He started to go towards the lift. I called him "Sir"

I don't want to be in an bad side of his book so I didn't called him by name.

But krithi called "Aarav". I just looked shocked at her, I know they are looking like an friends type. But I don't know that this much.

He too stopped instantly. What's this.

Its look like another pair is forming. Okay. Then I will be the most happiest girl.

Then he turn around and acknowledged us.

We both move forward and stood before him.

I said to him "Thanks Sir" this was the first words directly am speaking to him.

"What" he asked me.

"I said thanks"

"That I can hear. Why"

"For standing up for me?" I said to him like an question. Didn't he stood up for me or not. I even got this question. Oh my god. Did I wasted my thanks just like that.

"Ohh for that. But why saying thanks for an brother. Did brother and sister says thanks among them?" he asked me with an smile.

It shocked me to core. He even accepted me as a sister. Again my dam opened. I started to cry. He got panicked after seeing me. He even tried to console  me. But he is failing miserably. This krithi started to laugh at him. I glared at her in between my crying. She kept her mouth mumm thereafter.

After what seems like 5 mins. I stopped.

"Sorry Anna(Elder brother) " I said to him.

"Can I call you Anna"

He nodded his head. He too having an tears in his eyes. Oh god. I just side  hugged him. He looked shocked at first. Good thing is that it is an private lift area so no one is here and so no worries.

I thought he won't even acknowledge me, but he already considered me as an sister. Am so touched by this. I now have one elder brother, two younger brother, one bestiee, two mom, one dad and one uncle and aunty too. Wow now am the happiest one.

Still yearning for two relation one is Aaditya to accept me as an wife and then the another is an  child of Aaditya and me. It can be more than one too.

I started to blush. But who knows it may happen or not.

"Someone is thinking of my friend it seems" He started to tease me. Ufffff

"I  ii no no" I said to him

"I seee" he said to me.

"What about you both then" I asked raising my eyebrow to them. They both started to blush. Okay.

"Is it an love at first sight or what. It's not even an month for sake. But you both were in  love it seems" I again asked them.

"No" "No" both of them said instantly.

"Okay okay"

"For me if krithi becomes my Anni means I will be the happiest one" I said to him. Then I said to him don't say this information to Aaditya and all. What if he heard it and started to think like he done some grave mistake by marrying me. I don't want him to think like that.

He nodded his head. Then he moved to lift after saying bye.

Aaditya pov:

Its been a week, after the incident of me taking care of her. I couldn't get the time to have comversation with her. Even if I get the time, I couldn't able to speak freely with her. Ufff. Why am like this. I mean I know that am not an extrovert. But atleast I can speak with her right.

I can't able to figure my feelings towards her. As am inexperienced in this field. Yeah am an one woman concept man. I know it looks like an old thought. But I want to enjoy my life like my mom and dad.

I want to experience the love. But this trust issues making its difficult for me......

This 'what if she is an actor' is ruling my life now. As I don't want to get betrayed. So I just thought of going in an flow. That's how I spend the last week.

When I reached the dinning Hall, I saw that Malar is fixing the plates for everyone.

She is wearing an peach color saree. She looks beautiful. Her face is void of no makeup and she plaited her hair and having some jasmine flower. Her Thaali is not hidden and she having the vermillion on her forehead. Everything is perfect. Yeah I know she belongs to plump side. But she looks perfect for me❤️.

"By any chance do you need an kerchief" asked Vikram. This is the same statement which he used for priya arrival on engagement. But at that time I don't have any such feelings like now am having towards Malar.

Oh god When I become the love sick puppy. Aaditya, behave properly. Saying this I moved towards the table.

I took my place and after serving to everyone Malar took her place which is beside me.

I started to eat, like always. I waited for her to finish the whole food in her plate. What's with her always eating so small amount of food. How she will get the energy. I don't know. So I took the In charge of making her eat. With my insistence she will eat some what extra food. Everyone will smile for that. Okay....

Mom asked us to visit the temple. I suggested Malar that we will visit in the morning itself. As I have meeting at evening too.

We both sat in the car. I started the engine and drove off. I atleast tired to start the conversation by asking her work. But atlast it dies as soon as it started. Atleast I tried right.

When we reached the temple. She started to do the pooja. Then I got the call we both sat in  the steps. This is an important call so I couldn't avoid it. After the call she asked me shall we go.

I know that she is having difficulty with walking in this saree. So, I placed my hand before her, she took it. So I can help her right. 'Is it the only reason' my mind asked me. But, I didn'tacknowledged it.

We both reached the parking area. I don't want to leave her, I don't know the reason. But am yearning to be with her. So I took her hand again and intertwined our fingers, while driving too.

While driving Malar asked me to drop before the bus stand. I asked her why. She said that as we still didn't inform our relationship. I said okay to her. I stopped before the bus stop. Before she get down. She started to hide the nuptial chain and vermilion.

After she get down from the car. I drove off. I reached my company parking lot. And then I started to go inside. Everyone saying their pleasantries, I just nodded.

Today I had an exhausted day with more work. Uff

When I reached home. There Malar is sitting and talking with my family. Time may be around 8.30. She might be finished her cooking and all. All of them where looking like an family now.

Then I reached my room and started to freshen up. When I reached the hall. Malar came and gave me a coffee. My favourite one. I took it gladly and drank it.

Then we all asked to come to the dinning Hall. Again Malar sat beside me and we all eat. For the whole time malar is speaking randomly. And me stealing glances of her. She is blabbering something and even started to argue with Vikram. After dinner  we all retired to our rooms.

I don't know  how will the life look without her. Because now a days I become so dependent on her.
