Ananya's POV
I woke up to my alarm clock ringing telling me that I've to go for my morning workout. With a quick motion I slammed it shut and reached for the duvet to cover him who is in deep sleep.
I heard his soft moaning beside me, when he felt the warmth of the duvet embracing him which brought a smile to my face. So I quickly kissed his head and left my warm bed.
Getting fresh I met Arun in the living room who was tying the lace of his sneakers
"Morning Arun." I greeted him as I started wearing my sneakers too
"Morning Ani let's go we need to come back early in order to discuss something before we leave."
After morning business and jogging, when I and Arun returned back home
I found Riya bringing my heavy bag from my room and kept it near the door frame.
"You guys ready to go?" She asks.
"Yes." I replied. Then something crosses my mind.
I quickly paddled up to my room, took my laptop out and opened my G-mail account.
There was an email from company so I quickly opened it and went through it once again as I already did it last night
I concluded three things after reading that bullshit again
(i) A car will be picking me up at sharp ten in morning for the airport.
(ii) No need of passports or any identity cards as we will be traveling through private jet.
(iii) Flight will land in Jaipur before Mumbai for fifteen to twenty minutes, as CEO have some work over there.
I exhaled and look at watch for time.
8:46 am
I don't have much time. So I quickly grabbed my clothes, which I separated out last night and walked towards washroom to have bath.
After the long and relaxing bath I quickly changed into a black tank top and wore a white puffed up shirt over it. I chose to wear my dark blue jegging to cover my legs and ended up in three inch black heeled sandals. And then did my usual make-up which consisted of a layer of concealer, eyeliner, mascara and for today my walnut brown matte lipstick.
I walked out and sat on the dining table where Riya served breakfast to me and Arun. While eating my breakfast I quickly paid the electricity, water and dish bills of last month through net banking.
This helps me to save my time.
I quickly paddled inside my room and checked the drawer. Medicines are about to end.
I walked out till kitchen and found Riya working over there. "Riya, Dhruv's medicines are about to end. Only one week dose is left." I told her.
"I know. And I already ordered his medicines online. They will be delivered in two days." she answered and smiled.
"Okay... I have credited your account with twenty thousands of money cash I didn't have more but I will send to you..." I was telling her but she cut me off
"Ananya no need... you know I also work." she adds and I nodded.
"I know, but still." I added
"Ananya I've extra cash. In case of emergency." she says and smiles
Arun walked back to the dining table
"Riya here take my card in any case if you need money just withdraw it from my account. Okay the amount won't matter?"
"No Sir, thank you I've saved up quite a lot of cash and you might need money over there for few things." She politely declined our offer
I hugged her and a lone tear escapes my eyes
"Don't ruin your mascara, baby." she calls out and I laughed with her
After adjusting my things once again. I sat down to relax. Riya had gone to the grocery store to buy some things.
Now I and Arun were alone in this apartment surrounded with our thoughts.
Two months. How will I handle everything? I know, I have taken this decision for a good fortune, but what to do now.
How will I control my feelings towards him?
Do I still have feelings for him?
'Of course, you have'
My subconscious cried.
"You guys are planning for our flight to get missed or what?" I heard Sakshi's voice coming from the door
And there, stands Mr. and Mrs. Sharma over my door frame.
"No. We're coming." I tell them and glance over my wrist watch.
9:50 am
Okay, we don't have much time left
Arun dragged my bag along with his and Shan dragged his own bag and also of Sakshi's till elevators and I closed the apartment securely. We reached till parking lot of the building in few minutes.
9:56 am.
A car pulled out in the slot at exactly ten am.
Bags were adjusted in trunk and we all settled down.
Shantanu takes a seat beside driver and three of us settled on back seat.
"I can't believe I will be traveling in a private jet." Sakshi booms.
"Don't over excite Mrs. Sharma." Shaan says.
"Ananya, will it be okay for her to travel in plane... I mean she is in her fourth week now." Shaan asks me.
"It's okay she is in her first trimester. She will be fine." I assured.
Shaan relaxes but then something crossed my mind.
"But after two months, she would be completing her second trimester. At that time, it can be little bit risky." I added
Shaan's eyes pop out and mouth opens to speak something but Sakshi cuts him off.
"I will be fine. Please, leave this topic now. We will consult a doctor over there before heading back to Delhi. Please Shaan." Sakshi spoke with determination in her voice
Shaan lets out a deep sigh and nods.
"Fine, but be careful. Instantly tell me that you aren't feeling good." he adds with concern.
"I will." Sakshi assures with smile.
Soon, the car pulled out on airport.
This is little bit smaller in size. Why? Then I got my answer.
Private jet.
So...
Private Airport!!
Ohh... God. Arjun has secured great heights in all these six years.
Arjun's thoughts lead me to another one. Anna and 'her'.
Who are they?
But I pushed my thoughts away. He doesn't deserves that I think about him for a second.
We joined Varun over there. We started talking about our assignment
"I hope you all are ready?" I heard a voice. On turning around I found a man, who was standing in white uniform.
So, he is the pilot.
Shantanu nodded and answered on our behalf "Yes we are... where Arjun sir is?"
"Arjun is on his way, you all can get settled down. By the way I am Rishi and I will serve you all today." the pilot answered politely.
We nodded and soon our bags and luggage is safely deposited in lodging area. As soon as I entered inside the plane, my eyes
Popped out from witnessing the view.
It was a grand living room filled with comfort sofas, couches, tea tables, magazine holders, bar on one side, a small
Classic chandelier in cent erect of roof and a large LED TV on one of the wall.
"Beautiful." Sakshi commented and I nodded.
We all settled on middle sized sofas on left hand side, while two large more comfortable sofas were aligned on right side.
Shaan sat beside Sakshi like her bodyguard. Seriously! He takes this duty very well. I and Arun sat next to one another and Varun sat opposite to all of us
"Rishi Good luck for the flight. Remember first destination is Jaipur. And huh!! Send Isha." Arjun'svoice appeared but he didn't.
After a second, two bodyguards entered, those are the same bodyguards which were present yesterday too and then enters Arjun with his secretary, reading some documents.
"Shikha, get those papers ready till evening." he says to his secretary.
"Sure sir." she says while taking the file from him and settled with us.
Arjun eyes lands on me for a second and then he looks away before settling on right side.
His bodyguards too settled with us.
"Sir, you called me." An air-hostess appears.
"Yes, Isha." he says to her and then looks at Shaan and asks
"Mr. Singh have told me that your wife is pregnant."
"Yes, she is." Shaan replied.
Arjun looks over me, hurt visible in his eyes and quickly diverts his eyes towards Isha
"Isha, take special care of Mrs. Shantanu Sharma." he says and points towards me.
Isha nodded with a positive reply and turns towards me.
"Ma'am let me help you in seatbelts." she adds politely.
"Not needed. I will do myself." I replied sternly. Arjun's eyes snapped towards me and I looked directly into his eyes while adding
"I am not Mrs. Shantanu Sharma. She is. Mrs. Sakshi Shantanu Sharma." and pointed towards Sakshi.
"Yes sir, Sakshi is my wife. Not Ananya." Shaan adds.
Arjun looks over me with wide eyes and then says "Sorry. My mistake."
