🎋I kept searching in my dreams at night, I could not find you,

But when I saw in my heart I felt that you are near,

Why are these tears pouring out of my eyes,

Looks like you are sad again today🎋

Zoya pov:

I walked to my room while groaning.

Arghh!!! Again, I have to take a bath because I got wet due to shower.

Huff!! Who will do a bath thrice a day.

I stepped into the washroom, took a hot shower. I got fresh up, wore my pink fluffy pyjamas. After taking a last glance of my reflection in the mirror, I was satisfied with my look and went downstairs for dinner.

Anjali aunty saw me while she was arranging all the dishes on the table.

Anjali aunty (sarcastically): Aa gayi teri ladli beti, Akshita.

(Here comes your beloved daughter, Akshita.)

I stick out my tongue at her childishly and looked at maa, who was busy in glaring at aunty in return for the sarcastic comment at me.

Haha..Take that my chudail(witch) aunt.

I smirked at her while inching towards maa, she looked at me lovingly.

"Maa" I called her while giving her a side hug. She kissed my cheeks and said..

Maa(caressing her hair): You came, we all were waiting for you choti.

"Maa, I was taking a shower " I said.

She nodded her head as an "ok" and started serving to everyone.

I glanced at the dining table. Slowly, my gaze shifted to my devil who was busy in his phone.

Anjali aunty(teasingly): Tum vaha kyon kade hoo, go and serve to your hone wala patidev.

(why are you standing there? Go & serve to your soon to be husband)

Oh god!...why...oh why!...she has to tease me in front of him.

I flushed red and looked down at my feet shyly. Without raising my head, I went near to Abhi and served food to him. After serving him, I inched to my seat, served the food for myself too and started having our dinner.

While we are having dinner..

Papa: Choti, have you taken leave from your boss for tomorrow?

I glanced at papa with a puzzled look.

Why should I ask him for a leave when he is my soon to be husband?

I shook my head and replied to him..

"Vo papa..."while I was saying, but papa cut me in the middle.

Why every one were interrupting me in the middle while I was talking.

Papa (sternly): So choti, you thought your boss was Abhi, so you can take leave whenever you want without asking his permission?

"Papa" I was saying, but papa raised his hand by indicating me to stop.

I stopped talking and looked down at my plate. I kept mum because he won't listen to me. By the way, I'm habituated to his lecture from my childhood.

Hehe..I heard hani & Anjali aunty giggles.

"Stupid's" I mumbled while slowly raising my head up, but my eyes caught my Abhi who was smirking at me.

Looks like he was enjoying my condition.

Idiot!

You know what, in our whole family, I was the only one person who always get scoldings from papa.

And about my devil he never gets any scoldings, instead everyone praises him.

I averted my gaze from him and looked at papa.

Badepapa: Choti! even though your boss is your husband, you should ask his permission as an employee in the office. You should not bring your personal relations in your professional life. Have you got it, Choti?

I instantly nodded my head like a good girl.

Badepapa (sternly): Don't repeat the same mistake again.

"Ok papa" I said in a low tone.

Papa: Now have your food.

I again nodded my head and had my dinner silently without raising my head from my plate.

We all completed our dinner. All males went to their respective rooms except ladies.

Maa, Phuphi & Aunty went to kitchen to tidy the messy kitchen where as Bhabhi, Hani & me helped them in washing utensils.

Even though we are rich, but we never have servents in our mansion except for Paan.

Badepapa & Badimaa found her begging for food at the temple. At that time, she was only five years old. So papa brought her to home not for as a servant role, but to give her a good life. Papa wanted to send her to school, but she said that she don't like to study. So, she stays at home and helps in the household chores.

Maa, Phuphi & Aunty alone handles the whole mansion while managing their office's too.

I came out of my train of thoughts by hearing bhabhi voice.

Bhabhi: Cutiee!! What were you waiting for? Go! Go and ask him for permission.

"Now!! But how will I ask him Bhabhi, we are not in office." I murmured in a confused look.

Hani: Arey Cutiee, go to his room and ask him.

"But.." I was saying, but Hani interrupted me in the middle.

Hani: No but's cutiee, Go! go to his room.

While saying this, she pushed me into his room.

I entered his room and glanced at him, he was busy in working in his laptop.

I slowly inched to him and called..

"Abhi.." I called him in low tone.

He hummed at me while doing his work.

"Vo kal mujhe leave chahiye"I asked him meekly.

(I need a leave tomorrow)

He looked up at me while raising his perfectly shaped eyebrow at me and said..

Abhi(smirking): Is this a place a home or an office?

"Home" I said.

Abhi(wicked smile): Then why are you asking me about your leave. Go and ask your boss..

By hearing his words, I parted my lips widely at him.

Is he insane or what?

Abhi(playfully): Sweetheart! Go and ask your boss not to me.

He was playing with me.

"Jerk" I muttered under my breath and pinched my lips while keeping a crying face at him. I left his room while stomping my feet.

I went to my room with a sulking face and sat on my bed. I was thinking hard for ideas, but none was getting into my thick brain.

I was busy in thinking when suddenly I got an idea.

I mentally grinned at the idea. I quickly took my mobile, dialed Abhi's number and called him.

It's ringing!

Abhi(sly smile): So, you decided to call your boss at this late night..hmm..

And I bet by now, a sly smile might be playing on his lips.

"Vo A-Abhi..vo..I mean sir " I stuttered.

Abhi: I'm all ears.

"Sir I want a leave for tomorrow" I asked him.

Abhi: It's been only two days since you had joined the office and you wanted a leave now...hmm..

"Vo.. sir..tomorrow is my engagement sir. So, that's the reason why I am asking for a leave" I spoke while biting my nails.

Abhi: Oh! tomorrow is your engagement. So, to whom you were going to be engaged.

"To you" I quickly blurted out & bit my tongue.

Before he is going to give a reply. I quickly uttered.

"S-sir I mean, I am going to be engaged to My devil" I said while grinning.

He wanted to play employee & employer relationship na.

Then, two can play a game Mr.iceberg.

But, quickly my smile wiped away from my face by hearing his next words.

Abhi(smirking): So, you are not human, instead you are a chudile👹. That's the reason why you are going to engage to a devil...hmm..

Stupid!

"Abhi, I am a human not a chudile" I defended quickly.

Abhi: I can see what you are...hmm...I am giving you leave for only just one day.

"No!! I mean I want two days leave" I exclaimed.

Abhi(sarcastically): why? Are you going to do your engagement for two days.

" No Abhi, one day for engagement and the next day for rest" I replied in a sweet voice.

Abhi(chuckled): We will see for the other day, for now I am only giving you one day leave.

He said and ended the call.

How rude!

I laid on my bed and closed my eyes, but suddenly I remembered about my engagement dress.

I didn't go to shopping due to office. I think that the three old women had already brought the dress for me. Even though they are old but their selection was modern. So, I don't have to take the tension whether I like it or not.

Again I laid on my bed, but I got curious to know how my dress would be. So, I got up and went to Maa & Papa's room.

I knocked on the door..

Maa opened the door. She looked at me and make way to me, so that I can enter in. Papa was sleeping peacefully on the bed. We both sat on the sofa.

Maa: what happened Choti, Do you need anything?

"No Maa, I just wanted to see my new dress" I uttered while smiling sheepishly at her.

Maa: Oh choti, we forgot to buy a new dress for you.

What!!

They didn't buy a dress for me!!! Then, what will I wear for my engagement?

I kept a sad face at her and, she said..

Maa: Don't be sad my dear, tomorrow go with Abhi and buy whatever you want, okay?

Yayy!!! Tomorrow I can spend some time with him alone. I smiled inwardly but..

"Maa tomorrow is my engagement, then when will I go and buy a dress for me" I asked her with a puzzled look.

Maa: choti your engagement is at night not morning, so you can buy it in the morning.

"Maa will he take me to shopping" I asked her with a doubtful face.

Maa: There is no other option for you other than him because we all will be busy in arrangements. So, go & ask him now, so that you both can go early.

I bobbed my head & left the room. I walked to Abhi room.

I entered his room without knocking. As soon as I went in, I saw Abhi making his bed to sleep. He looked at me and said..

Abhi(arrogantly): what!!

He never changes his attitude.

"Abhi, shall we go for shopping tomorrow" I asked him in low tone.

Abhi(raising his eyebrow): For what purpose you wanted to go shopping.

"Vo...Abhi we didn't buy our engagement dresses" I replied meekly.

Abhi(rudely): There is no need to buy a new dress. Wear whatever you have.

After hearing his words, I stood there looking at him sadly.

Abhi: I think you got my answer, now go.

I nodded my head and left to my room gloomly.

Urghh!!

Who will wear an old dress on their engagement day.

Huff!!

My devil is the only one person in the whole world who will wear an old dress on their engagement day and even asked me to wear it.

Idiot!
