chapter 22

Surprise!"Congratulations" Neeraj hugged Swapna from behind, Who is busy working in the kitchen."What? Why?"Swapna turned around quickly and looked at her husband in surprise.He is smiling at her widely with a bright face, She couldn't stop pinching his cheek."My dear Wifey, Congratulations." He quickly kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly for a second.Swapna doesn't know the reason but stayed in his arms for a few seconds."Look over there" He leaned over her and switched off the knob of the stove."My husband, my Savior."She caught his hand and kissed it."Congratulations, I am extremely happy for you" He twirled his hand around her neck and gave a peck on her forehead."Congratulations?But why?" She stood there raising her brow, releasing herself from his strong arms."You did it, Sweetheart, You did it." He whispered seductively in her ear."What?" She pushed him a bit this time, he is playing with her."Okay" He raised one of his hand in the air and gave few papers to her with another hand."Have a look at this one." He caught her waist and dragged her towards him.She quickly grabbed them from his hand. She glanced at the papers and looked at Neeraj. A smiled crept on her lips, her eyes became wet.He cupped her face and blew some air on her face, wiped those tears.She clasped her hands around his neck and buried her head in his neck, feeling his warm breath."I am proud of you." He cupped her face and gave a small peck on her lips."You made me proud" He hugged her again, he sounded so excited and sincere."You made it" His happiness has no boundaries."With your support, with my husband's support" She corrected, This made his heart literally flutter.His wife is praising him for her success, what more does he want."It's because of you, only because of you" She captured his lips, and this time it is a sweet lingering kiss.They came out of trance for a second and looked around, no one is there at home, hence they took the advantage.Manasi came an hour ago and took his father and their children shopping, They want to buy a few dresses and video games.They cannot be caught by anyone this time, They were caught kissing once or twice by their children and felt embarrassed, From that moment Neeraj became cautious and Swapna felt relieved.As years passed they becameabsolutely comfortable and super compatible couple.They started supporting each other in both personal life and professional development.Neeraj is running his dad's firm successfully and Swapna achieved some milestones in her career.It brought few enemies and few envied her success, still, she is shining like a star and Neeraj is happy with her whooping success.Now she wants to start her own firm and got all the permission from the, government officials.Neeraj is extremely proud of her, her achievement and he wants to celebrate it with his friends.She did all the paperwork and she is ready to invest all the money she saved, didn't want a single rupee from her husband."You did it and we need to celebrate it, he declared and she has to accept no choice left."What's the need?" She whispered in his ear, trying to convince him."No way, Please" He whispered in a husky tone, wrapping her waist and tickling it.She smiled and agreed, she can't argue about this with him anymore.Neeraj too learned how to request his wife in their nine years of marital life."I need to tell you something" Her bright expression changed gloomy."Is everything okay?"He asked looking at her sulky face."Manasi....." She slumped her shoulders and looking here and there."What happened to her," He asked sitting on the couch."She loves someone," She told him her sister's pretty secret finally."What?"Neeraj is shocked."Yes she loves Viraj and he is doing, MBA, Final year" She gave the piece of information."Really?"He asked intrigued by her words."Yes, She wants me to help her" She sighed, Swapna doesn't know how Neeraj would react.He didn't talk for a second, She sat there holding her heart.Neeraj doesn't want to lose the tranquility, harmony in their lives.He knows well how will his father in law will reacts if he learns about this.He kept a sulky face and looked at Swapna."She wants us to meet Viraj once" She said playing with his fingers.How can he say 'no', He adores Manasi and treats her as his little sister but he can't do anything against her father?It took three long years for them to patch up now, he is confused."Okay," He said thinking about it.But He wants to meet Viraj, What if is he is not a loyal person? What if he is a jerk? Manasi's life will be at risk.Whatever the thing is, He has made a decision, He has to meet the guy once? and check his background secretly."When can we meet him?" He asked sighing."Evening? University campus", She asked peeping into his eyes, hoping a positive reply."Okay," He said with a suspicious face.He thinks she planned everything and informing him, great!She knows how to trick her husband with words, She became so smart."Thank you" She hugged him making him even suspicious.Whatever it may be, He can't shout at her, if yes she will cry and keep a sulky face for the next coming two days, It hurts him a lot.He can't bear her silence.It's better to do it whenever she says, he has decided.He got decided to meet Viraj in the evening.Only Sanjay knows Viraj is a friend of, Bhumi's best friend.None knows about it.%#%#%#%%###‰#%#‰‰‰‰To be continued.Sorry for a small chap, thank youLet's see what happens next,Please let me know how it is.Please vote and commentsThank you,Take care.
