Shades Of Happiness

Chapter 8

Samrita's POV :

The wait is over and it's morning. I woke up and got ready as i had to go and join the job. Before i went to take shower, i just checked my phone for text messages. Anjana had messaged me.

Sam, Not even a single text since yesterday morning. So enjoying eh? ;) Just kidding Sam. Chill!! Wanted to know if you're okay there and is everything comfortable? Hope you are good. Text you later. Tc :)

I read the message and i replied and then went into the bathroom to refresh myself. When i did all these things, Vinay was on his bed. He was still sleeping. When i came out from the bathroom he wasn't on his bed. I didn't find him anywhere else inside the room.

My goodness!! He is not in room. It would be awkward for me to get ready in front of him.

I thought and got ready for office. I wore an yellow with pink salwar. Then when i was applying kajal, i saw his image behind me in the mirror. The dressing table is placed opposite to the entrance of the room. So, the reflection of whoever enters the room can be seen in the mirror.

He was dressed in formal pants and tucked in shirt with a tie. I got ready in another 15 minutes and he asked "Shall we start?!"

"Sure " i said.

Actually i didn't want to go with him. But i had no money with me, instead of getting money from him it's better to go in his car itself.

We both went down and had breakfast. While we were eating,

"Vinay and Samrita, i and aunty had planned a trip for you. As usual everyone goes after their wedding. Honeymoon!! Just decide where you both want to go. I will arrange the tickets and other things. " uncle said.

Whattttt,, honeymoon?!! s**t!! It's really difficult for me to be in his room alone with him. And now somewhere else.

Aunty and uncle smiled by seeing us, thinking that we will agree.

He saw me with a panic - stricken face. Why is he seeing me? Doesn't he know that i wouldn't agree for all these.?!!

I saw him nodded my head as no in a horizontal manner. He understood what i meant.

"No uncle, not for now. Samrita will be accompanying me to office from today. Office hours will be hard for next some days. " he said and then i breathed showing the relief in my face.

We ate and went into the car. Vinay was about to drive the car and i sat beside him. As soon as we started from home, " thanks " i said and smiled at him.

" That's okay. You could feel awkward in the same way i felt. " he said and smiled too.

That smile

"Here is your appointment letter Samrita. All the best. " he said and handed over the letter to me.

" Thanks Mr. Vinay. " i said. But should i have used Guatam sir? As it is the office. But that's okay! This is enough. I consoled myslef and went to my seat.

My seat was opposite to his cabin. That means he could see my activities through the glass door from his cabin, in the same way i can too watch him over the glass.

As soon as i came to my seat, i opened my appointment letter to see it. So, it is

Mrs. Samrita Vinay Krishna it seems.

So, what should i do once we get divorced after one year.? I will be just Samrita again. Only our names are together not us.

Vinay's POV :

I woke up and she was in the bathroom taking shower. So, i went and got ready in the near by room that is meant for guests. When i came back into the room to check if she has got ready. I saw her applying something in her eyes.

I didn't know what was that, because girls use lot of things to make their eyes more beautiful like kajal, mascara etc etc. But i don't know which is meant for what.

I guess she had seen my image in the mirror because i was standing opposite to the mirror behind her and of course far away from her.

She got ready for the next 15 minutes and we had our breakfast and while eating uncle and talked talked about honeymoon, even though i was a little bit happy that we could be alone there will be some chance of understanding each other, i was not fully interested in that. Her face was really panic-stricken. I refused to aunty and uncle that we are not interested now.

She thanked me for refusing while we were on the way to office. She said that with a small smile. Yesss!! She smiled at meeee :)). I smiled back and finally we reached our office.

Samrita's POV :

It's been a week. I didn't meet Anjana in this one week. But i used to talk to her everyday after coming from office. And kritika became close to me. We shared everything, she showed me her childhood photos. I saw Vinay's too. He was uber cute in those photos.. Awwww.. I saw the photos of Vinay's father and mother. Kritika told me that they had died in an accident when he was 16 years old. Ohhww.. He has been parent less too like me. But i had no one. He atleast had uncle and aunty. So, like this Kritika shared more things with me. She told more things about Vinay too.. She said that Vinay is like his brother, and she would share everything with him. She said that Vinay is a perfect gentleman and any girl would like him for manliness and he is a kind of friend material. When she said all these, i was just thinking about his act of going to a stranger girl and asking to help him by acting like his wife. But someone says good about your crush, it's really nice to hear.

Life was going on like this and one day suddenly Vijay came to me and said "Excuse me Samrita, i have a really important matter to tell you can please spare some time with me?!" he said.

I really got confused by hearing his words. Because we hadn't even talked before and today directly he had come to me to tell some important matter. Okay! Before getting confused like this, it's better to ask him what the matter is.

"Sure Mr. VIJAY. Tell me. " i said.

" Not here. Let's meet in the coffee shop which is on the way to home. Okay? 5.30 pm sharp? " he said asking me to come.

" Okay. I will come. " i replied.

" Most importantly, don't tell Vinay about this. Thanks in advance. " he said and went.

I gave him a puzzled look and waited for evening. I couldn't concentrate on work because of curiosity!
