Sia's POV
He again held my hand and we came out of the restaurant.
My eyes were moist but not because of what Ruchi or Chachi said. I was very happy today... Rohit said such good things about me.
He stood by me again and showed my worth to my Chachi. She always tried to discourage me and made me feel as if I am good for nothing... But today Rohit made me feel so good.
The moment we came out of the restaurant and reached his car. I threw myself in his arms. He embraced me and made me feel very secured. He raked his fingers in my hair.
" Please don't cry, warrior...She will not dare to talk to you like this again. And if they do... they will have to face me. " he said very sweetly.
" I am not crying because of them.. "
" Then why you crying? "
" I am crying because of you."
" Why?? What did I do you?? "
" You made me feel so proud of myself. "
" So that's a good thing, warrior. Why are you crying? "
" I am not crying, these are happy tears. I love you... "
" Ok, now that you are happy with me and you love me too, so can I come with you?? "
" Where??"
" Paris. "
" Rohit...It is just a matter of 10 months. "
" JUST. A. MATTER. OF. TEN MONTHS?"
" Rohit !!! "
" Ok ... Fine. I am not coming. " he smiled at me.
He made me sit in the car and dropped me back at my place. He snaked his arm around me and hugged me again and nuzzled on my neck. My heartbeat increased manifold.
" Rohit... Please we are home. "
" I can't seem to get enough of your company. " He looked at me and gave a quick peck at my lips.
" I love you ... " He said and loosened his arms. I blushed at that.
He talked to my family for some time and then went home.
Rohit's POV
" Dad, don't you think Sia has had a very positive effect on Rohit? Look he has become so punctual, always tries to get to the office even before time. " Bhai teased me and dad laughed and nodded.
" No. we have to complete our work on time. That's why... " I said and everyone nodded and after a few second everyone started laughing.
I smiled and finished my breakfast. We all went to the office.
Sia was already in the cabin when Priya and I entered. She saw us and smiled. She looked so pretty. Priya and Sia hugged each other and I felt left out so I hugged both. They both laughed.
" So girls, let's concentrate on our work now. " I said and they nodded. Priya also gave her very good suggestions.
We worked till lunch hours when Bhai called us. We went out and saw that everyone was gathered there.
" Hello everyone, we all consider you a part of our family, so we wanted to share a piece of good news with all of you. Sia has been selected to attend a course in Paris. I am very proud of her. She will go there for 10 months for training and once she will be back. Rohit and Sia are going to get married. So I want you all to welcome my another daughter-in-law, Sia. " Dad said to everyone.
Everyone clapped and congratulated us. She was smiling at everyone. She touched the feet of my dad and My dad patted her on the head and then she turned towards Bhai who hugged her.
Priya hugged her too. What about me ?? I looked at her and raised my eyebrows. But she diverted her eyes away from me.
My dad had ordered sweets for everyone. He told Priya and Sia to distribute the sweets and then he went to his cabin.
They distributed the sweet boxes amongst everyone. They all looked happy and went away to have lunch.
But I needed my hug. I went near her and whispered, " I want a hug too. "
She blushed and got away from me.
" Sia, you didn't hug Rohit?? "
Priya asked teasing her. Sia glared at her.
" That's not fair...In fact, you got a hug from everyone so should get one from him as well. " She said again and Bhai laughed.
I smiled and went towards her to hug her and pulled her in my arms and heard clapping. Sia was blushing very hard and was looking very pretty. We all were having fun working together.
Priya and Bhai kept teasing both of us. Priya even caught me kissing Sia in their cabin as sia and I were alone. Instead of leaving us alone, as I expected, she teased me exactly the same way, I had teased her and bhai when she had fallen on Bhai while running after me.
She coughed and said, " What are two of you doing....... Come on I understand that you got together only a few days back, but pls control your emotions....... You have a big comfortable cabin Rohit..... pls go there. Don't corrupt the innocent soul like me. It's my cabin too." Bhai had also entered by now, they burst out laughing. Sia got very embarrassed and tried to get out of my arms but I didn't want to leave her. She stomped on my foot.
Bhai and Priya laughed even more.
The days passed like hours as we all were enjoying.
The time for her to go to Paris came and she went away for 10 months.
I worked very hard and produced very good results. Our products were highly appreciated and we got many other projects.
Our company was doing very well. We got many more orders of tie and dye designs.
Priya worked on them and she even started batik and block printed garments. They also became hit. But Priya was getting too stressed as she had to help her dad too in his business.
*****
10 months later
I was on the cloud nine as my Sia was coming back in a week. The arrangements for our engagement were going on as the date was fixed for engagement. Exactly 15 days from today.
I completed all the work, as I wanted to be absolutely free when she comes back.
*******
She came back yesterday and I went to meet her at the airport. I couldn't wait to see her after so long... I had wanted to go to Paris to meet her. But then decided not to go as she would get distracted.
Sujoy Bhai and I both were there waiting for her, suddenly I saw her coming. She was looking even more beautiful. I wanted to go and take her in my arms and do all the things, I have been craving to do but her brother was also here and I didn't want to die as my feisty warrior and her brother would have killed me there only.
She came towards us and hugged her bhai first. Sujoy was very happy to see her. He got a bit emotional and went away saying that he needed to go to the washroom. But maybe he wanted to give me a good chance to meet my Sia. It would have been awkward if her brother was there too.
I hugged her hard. I wanted to make sure that she was really there and was not a fraction of my imagination.
She hugged me back. I pulled her aside and took her in my arms again. She smiled at me beautifully.
" So missed me?? " She asked raising her one eyebrow.
" You have no idea, I would have shown you, how much I missed you if your brother was not here.. "
" Hmm ...but he is here... " I nodded looking at her.
" You are looking even more beautiful my feisty warrior. " I said caressing her cheek with my thumb.
" And You are looking more handsome. " She said with a wink. I gasped at her flirty comment and she giggled and hugged me and kissed on my cheek.
" I wish Sujoy bhai had not come... I would have .... "
" You would have, what?? " She asked a bit seductively.
Shit!!!
" Shall we go? ' Sujoy bhai came back.
We collected all her luggage and came out to the parking and went to their place. I said goodbye to everyone while all I wanted was to spend time with her. I was waiting for the last 10 months. But she just came and her family also wanted to spend time with her.
