Marry My Husband

Chapter 15

Siya's pov

I entered the office wearing my new outfit which I bought with Ria . As I entered, I could feel everyone staring at me . Do I look weird ? I am so nervous. Be confident, Siya . You are the not the old timid Siya anymore.

I could hear people whispering by looking at me with surprised expressions .

One of my colleagues complimented me . " Ms. Siya , You look different today. You look like a celebrity. Is something special today ?" Hearing this, I felt better . " No, it's not that ." I replied. I went my cubicle .Meera ma'am also complimented me with a smile ," Wow , you look so pretty. "

" Actually, I went to shopping with Ria yesterday. So I bought new outfits. "

" Great job , Siya." Meera said .

" You really look amazing." Ria said .

Even Alia was looking at me with surprise .

Just then Samrat came towards me a shocked face and eye me from head to toe and asked , " Are you really my girlfriend? You look so different today ." " I just wanted to surprise you, Samrat " " You look like someone else without your glasses . You look so pretty. " Saying this , he tried to touch my face but I moved back .

Ria said , " You talk as if you have never seen her without her glasses ."

" Of course, I have seen her . But she looks so amazing today ." And again tried to touch me but I again moved back .

Just then we heard sound of someone hitting a table and all the files fell down. He was none other than Raghav. But he looked different today. I guessed he was in his own world . "I am sorry" , he said to no-one in specific and again banged into another employee .

And then my drama queen started her drama ," Mr .Raghav, I will pick up these files. " And bent down with a seductive smile. I guessed it did not work on him because he thanked her with a blank face and then came near me and observed my outfit and said , " Ms Siya, your outfit.... doesn't seem suitable for work today. "

"Excuse me?" I was confused. I haven't heard him questioning any other employee about their outfit. So why , me ?

" It's very suitable for work. So why... are you criticizing her outfit?" , Ria supported me .

He paused before saying, "I must've felt that way because I haven't seen her without her glasses before. " He was about to leave but these words slipped from my mouth , "You saw me yesterday." Samrat was surprised maybe thinking that when did we met yesterday, " What ?"he said but I ignored him and kept looking at Raghav. He explained, " That was the weekend and it's first time at work." I nodded with a smile.

" I see you are wearing contacts too ."I said . Samrat kept looking at Raghav and me ." You are right , Siya. " Meera said and then looked towards Raghav, "Mr. Raghav, you look better without glasses ."

And then my acting ki dukaan (my shop of acting) started again , " So , that's why you look somewhat different today. You look much .... " But he stopped her by showing her his palm and went away with an embarrassed look . I guess he wasn't used to compliments .

And then my boyfriend asked me , " Did you buy contacts together? "

" Why ?? Don't speak anything. Just go to your seat . We'll talk later. "

Samrat asked me to meet him . I went to meet him . He offered me a coffee. I told him, " I have to attend a meeting later . " I will just take a second. So how do you feel? Sorry about Friday . Did you feel better after attending the reunion? " He was hesitant to speak further. " By the way , how did you meet Raghav yesterday? "

"Something urgent came up . So I had to leave my reunion and attend the meeting with him "

"How could he do that ? I think he likes you ." He said with frustration and and stared at me as if searching my face for answers. I took a sip of coffee and denied that it wasn't like that . But he was adamant, " Yes , it is . I know that as a man. It's like an antenna for males . Don't you think why would he only call you when it was urgent. This morning he commented on your outfit being unsuitable. You are so pretty that it made him crazy. What a jerk!!! "

He hold my hands and said , "You look so pretty that it makes me angry when other men are looking at you .You're mine , right ?"

I am not yours, you cheater . I wanted to scream on his face but controlled myself. I just nodded hesitantly. He touched my hair and tried to come near me but I just pushed the coffee on the table which fell on his pants.

"O God , what do we do now ? Go to the restroom immediately. " I pretended to panic and be concerned. He ran away from there. Thank God I saved myself from him .

Alia met me on my way to office .I knew that she would come to me to give me explanation for yesterday.

"You didn't take it in a wrong way , did you? I don't know why they said that . They are so immature . It was 10 years ago ." She tried to explain herself giving me her best innocent pitiful looks .

How could I not trust you? If I hadn't seen it till the end , it would have been impossible for me to not trust you.

She again started," I could have made a mistake myself. But you know that I get confused easily. "

" Yes , I was mad yesterday. But it did seem strange. There was no reason for you to lie about dating Aditya and say that I told you to dump him unless... You want to make me look like a bad person." I chuckled and said," Only a crazy person would do that. "

" That's right . I wouldn't do something like that ." She seemed relieved.

"Natasha and her friends always used to pick on me for the strangest things .I won't let it slide this time. We aren't in highschool anymore . By the way I am going to meet Aditya and ask him ."

" You are going to meet Aditya ?"

" Yes . He gave me his number yesterday and asked me to meet him tomorrow . Don't worry , my other half . This time I won't let it slide. "

" Okay . But don't you think that Samrat wont like it if you go to meet other man ?"she asked . As if that is going to stop me from meeting him .

" Samrat isn't like that. He wants me to feel at ease . Also his stocks went through the roof and made a lot of money." I said trying my best to make her envy me and make her wil stronger snatch Samrat away from me . That would make my work easier.

" Ohh... He really made that much money!!! "

" Yes , he's planning to buy a new house for us after marriage ." I say pretending to be shy .

" You are so lucky." She pretended to be happy for me.
