The next few days in Bora Bora were the most joyous days in their lives. The ladies spent their mornings on the beaches of those blue green waters, sun bathing, while the guys surfed, jet skied or just played in the waters with Kittu.
But the vacation has to end at one point. After 3 days of relaxing and enjoying they returned to their homes. Kittu was the most upset. He put up one hell of a tantrum to return back. Eventually Arjun convinced him and promised another vacation as soon as possible which stopped his crying.
MYTHILI:
Getting up, even from a chair is such a huge task when you're 8 months pregnant with twins.
I was in the middle of sorting some files when I started craving for coffee. Controlling cravings is like controlling the urge to pee, yea it's a gross comparision. But it's the truth. You can't sit tight when you had to use the bathroom and you can't sit tight if you want something to eat or drink.
So heaving myself up from the chair I walked to the kitchen that's on the other side of the floor. We have to climb down four steps to go to the kitchen. All these days it didn't seem to be a problem and i pretty much liked the design of this floor.
But ever since I became huge it became god damn difficult to get down the stairs. Taking the support from the wall I walked down slowly but blame my wobbly legs because of sitting for too long, I lost my balance.
When I was about to fall, a pair of strong arms caught me before I could kiss the ground. Opening my eyes I saw Arjun looking at me with concern and fear.
"I told you so many times to walk slowly. You should watch your steps love." He said checking me all over if I was alright.
My heart was beating so fast, feeling anxious of something would have happened to the babies if Arjun was late by a nano second. And on top of that I was irritated of walking so slowly and consciously each and every time and yet I seem to loose balance.
And now when Arjun said to be careful, it made me angry.
"I should watch my steps? You show me how to walk with a belly one km infront of you. See I cannot even see the floor two feet ahead of me and you are asking me to watch my steps" I yelled at him.
Getting out of his hold I walked to the kitchen annoyed with nothing in particular. Taking two cups, I started making coffe when two arms encircled me from my back and hugging me.
ARJUN :
"I am sorry love. I didn't mean to offend you" I said kissing her cheek. She didn't reply and continued her coffee making.
"You know I came to ask you for coffee but you already thought of it." I said placing my chin on her shoulder.
"Who said I am making you one? These two cups are for me only." She said turning around. I gazed at her beautiful face that always have a tender smile that makes anyone's day.
"You look beautiful." I said smiling. She scoffed. "I am fatter than last week. I literally look like a whale and you are calling me beautiful?"
"You are not fat. Don't say like that. You are glowing. Do you know that?" I said cupping her face. "Yea I believe you. Now move aside, I need milk" she said trying to push me.
"No babe. I want a kiss. Then you can make your coffee " I said puckering my lips.
"Arjun this is office. Someone might walk on us." She said blushing.
"No one will come here. Even if they come, I don't care. I am the boss." I said moving closer.
"Ofcourse you will use the boss card. Mov..." Before she could continue further, I captured her lips kissing her.
"Guys come on, this is office" Abhi said entering the kitchen.
We pulled away with the sudden entry.
"As if you don't do it Abhi" Rohan said standing next to him. ,"Yea." I agreed with Rohan.
I received a light slap on my chest. I looked down to see Mythi as red as a tomato. Chuckling I kissed her forehead and moved aside.
"My darling Sunshine, can you be an angle and make coffee for us too?" Rohan asked.
"Omg, no need of so many endearments Rohan. I will make it. But you guys have to carry them to the cabin" she said taking two more cups.
Chuckling Abhi added "Sure."
Abhi took the tray of cups while, Rohan had a tray having sugar and spoons. I helped her walk holding her hand with one of mine and the other going on to her waist.
"Are you ok? Your palms are cold" I said frowning. "Yea am fine." she said as if it's not a problem. But I doubt it. She never had such cold palms.
MYTHILI:
"Did you think about the investment?" Rohan asked as we walked to the cabin. They walked slowly maintaining the same pace as mine.
"What investment?" I asked. "We are thinking to invest on something. Anything. All five of us. Like for some social service. It helps with tax also" Arjun said. "Ho. I have an idea."
"We are listening." It's from Abhi.
"I know an orphanage. I used to volunteer there. It's near to shutting down." I said.
"Okay. Orphanage seems fine. But why hasn't anyone come to it's rescue. Haven't they approached anyone?" Arjun asked frowning.
"Oh they have. Many companies came forward to invest in them. But not to continue as an orphanage. It has huge acres of land. That orphanage is built only in little space. They want that land for some other profitable purposes. So the orphanage denied the offers." I said as we entered.
Before they could reply I started feeling dizzy.
"Arjun, I am feeling dizzy" I managed to get those words out and held on to his hand.
