Niranjana p.o.v.
When Ram made sure that everybody had arrived in conference hall,he called for us.The moment we entered the hall every heads turned our direction.After we were at center of attraction,almost all were gazing us with curiosity.
Ram was the first to start,"Good morning everyone,so I know you all are curious to know about this mysterious person in our office.So,let me introduce this beautiful lady here, is the wife of my dear friend and CEO of this company.I welcome Mrs.Dr.Niranjana Surya for her presence in this company." I heard many loud gasps,cheers and claps from the crowd.
Surya came near me and kept his hand small at my back showing his presence to me with his support and he started to talk "Good morning everybody,as my dear friend said I would like to introduce my lovely wife to everyone here.It had been almost three months we are married,I do really apologize for not inviting you all due to some personal reasons.So,to compensate that we both invite you to a party this weekend.You will have a day off for the party."he said with a calm voice and full smile.I smiled at everyone.
"I roamed my eyes towards the crowd with a smile and my eyes fell on the few of his employees who looked at my husband which any wife will not approve earlier when we entered.The reaction on their faces made me smile proudly inwards.
Few were throwing daggers,few were scowling and few gaping at us with utter shock.Seems like my husband had broken many young girls heart by the announcement.But I didn't fail to see few girls were eyeing me with jealous.I smirked,serves you right bitches for gawking my husband like a piece of meat.
Ram didn't fail to notice my satisfied reaction and winked at me with thumps up.I chuckled and nodded with gratitude.After few minutes all exited the room leaving three of us alone.Surya excused himself went little away to attend a call.
"I think you are satisfied now?you seem to be grinning like an i***t who had succeed a very tough task."Ram said with a chuckle."You have no idea Ram,how I felt when those bitches eyed my husband like some rare species to catch.If it would be the case when he comes to the office,then I do fear more." I said with a sigh.
"But thanks to you, now they are aware that he is taken,I feel little relived."I said and gave him a hug which he returned."You do sound like a possessive wife,this side is really new to me and I didn't expect this.but it is good." he said after parting from the hug and gave my shoulder a pat.
"I do wonder the same Ram,really it is the first time I too feel like this.I didn't know from were this thought emerged suddenly out of no where."I shook my head amazed with my own thoughts.
"I happens when you love someone with all your heart,believe me when i say this that I had experienced this many times with my girlfriend.But soon I realized that all you have to do is trust the person you love and trust your love for that person.When they knew that they are being trusted by someone dear to them,they will surely not cheat you.All you have to do is make them know that you love them however they are and you trust them with everything you have." Ram said with a distant look on his face.
"Surya is not a person who can cheat,he never glanced at those women after knowing their intentions.He kept everything professional after his..."he stopped in mid sentence after realizing what he had said.
"What Ram?What is it?"I asked with a frown.He shook his head "It is not my place to tell you Niru.It is your husband who can tell you everything.But make sure he knows that you love him and prove him that it will last till eternity.He is insecure, you have to prove him your love than just in words.It is just a request of a friend.He deserves to be happy and loved."his eyes were filled with tears now.But he managed not to shed them.
I stood there just watching him.Now I see a friend requesting for his friend's happiness.A friend who really cares for his friend.The sadness in his eyes for his friend have a hidden story to tell,but I didn't push.May be it was not his place.But what would have happened to my husband in the past?
I felt like a heavy burden had settled on my heart.I want to know about his dark.If I can help him then I will gladly do it for him without any other thought.With this I realized that I have a very strong feelings for him.I don't know when,how but it happened.
After few hours I got a call from hospital for an emergency,Surya took me directly to the hospital and waited outside till I completed.As there was only few emergency patients today it didn't take any longer.
All the way through out the drive back to home I kept often glancing at him and replayed the words of Ram.What is it he is not telling me?Didn't Surya trust me at least as his friend to share his past?
"What is it you are thinking this much deeply?"he asked me turning completely towards me only then I realized that the car had stopped and we reached home.I shrugged and tried to open the door but he was quick to block me by holding my hand.
"Niranjana...what happened is something bothering you?"my name from his lips was alluring and I felt that my name is indeed beautiful when he pronounced it.And I also hate to admit that he can read my face accurately when I cannot read his.
When I bring the topic of his parents his face would turn blank void of any emotions.I would feel difficult to read his emotions by that time.So,considering this I didn't dare to tell him that I know about his past love.I fear that I may lose this beautiful friendship and growing relationship would become a disastrous.
I swallowed hard and prepared myself before speaking."Surya I really feel bad for spoiling your work.You have to leave all your important works behind just to pick me up and drop me at home.I know how much important is your work to you.You cannot do this all the time.Don't you think I have to go on my own,it is better and easy."I carefully chose my words.This is also one of my worry but not much important than his hidden past.
I cannot find courage to ask him directly,I really don't know how he will react to my questions.Still now he also didn't share anything at least to give me any hint.If I am right he had been careful with that part when he talks to me.Don't he really trust me?
"But I don't feel anything difficult in dropping and picking you.You don't need to worry about it." he said with a shrug.
"No...you don't understand I really feel guilty for this." I said and looked away.How much I like to spend my time with him,I also don't want to be a hindrance in his work.He had worked hard these many years to reach this position.If this continues it will be like bringing his years of hard work to feet.Now,he may not realize it,but in future he may regret when such situation arrives.
He looked at me for few minutes but didn't tell anything.I sighed and exited the car without getting any reply.
