----Arya's POV----

I had somehow, once again managed to fall asleep on the sofa.

"Arya, wake up,"I heard someone say.

I slowly opened my eyes.

"Here," Hussain said.

I looked at the clock.

"SH*T!!! I'M LATE!!" I said getting up so fast I got a head-rush.

I quickly got everything together.

"Arya, coffee toh lehlo," Hussain said.

"I can't. I'm already late,"I said and ran out of the house.

I got to work two minutes before I was needed.

"Right on time,"my boss said.

Thank you God!

"Alright, as today is the day of the first show, I'll explain everything and answer any questions, that come up. Let's put on a fabulous show,"she said.

We all spilt up and did what we had to. I got everything put where it needed to be.

"Do I need to do your make-up as well, you look exhausted,"Nida said.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Yeah, go get a coffee or something,"she said.

"Okay,"I said, "but after everything is done."

"I'm just not even going to go further with you,"she said and we carried on our separate jobs.

Eventually, the actual show I got started and someone else in my department took over for a bit. Enough for me to go and get breakfast.

I went and got coffee. Without even realizing it, I smiled at what happen earlier.

"Why are you smiling at your coffee?" My co-worker asked as I went back.

"Oh, it's nothing,"I said.

"Okay,"she said and we carried on.

The show went on for most of the day, as there was more than one new design to launch.

After it was done we cleaned up everything and went back to our office to write down any information we had gotten from journalist, or potential buyers.

"Arya, thanks for helping out on a great show. You deserve some time off. I've been noticing that you have been coming in a bit late and seeming more tired,"my boss said.

"It's okay. I honestly don't mind,"I said.

"I don't want to hear it. You've probably been working so much, your husband thinks you love your job, more than you love him,"she said.

He won't care!!

"Trust me, it's no problem,"I said.

"I don't want to hear it. I want you to get proper rest. I'm giving you a week off,"she said.

"A week? Why so much? I can take a day off,"I said.

"Week, because you've been over working yourself and also, so you can spend time with your husband,"she said.

Ugh! What's the point in that?

"And I don't want to hear anything else,"she said and left.

Great, now I'm stuck with a week off.

I finished the report and gave it to her.

"Thank you, see you in a week,"she said.

I smiled at her and left.

I came home to see bhabi arguing with Nisha.

"Do you need help?" I asked.

"This girl won't eat,"Bhabi complained.

"Can I try feeding her?"I asked.

"Arya, you just got home. It's okay, get some rest,"she said.

"I was given a week off. I'll rest then,"i said.

"Okay, come on,"she said.

She gave me the baby food and I fed Nisha, while talking to her about how I was given the week off.

"See hard work pays off,"she said.

I smiled at her.

"There, she's all done,"I said.

"Thank you so much!!" She said.

"Is mai thanks kyu?"I asked.

"You have no idea how long I've been trying to get her to eat,"she said.

"Agar nai kathi, toh just bring her to me,"I said.

"Thank you again,"she said.

"Bhabi, if you say thanks one more time then I won't talk to you,"I said.

"Acha teek hai, go and get some rest,"she said and I left.

I went upstairs and saw Sain doing something on his laptop.

"Hey,"he said.

"Hi,"I replied and went to change.

I came back and put all my work stuff away.

"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. It's just that today was the first show, and I couldn't risk getting late,"I said.

"It's okay. I understand,"he said.

"So, uuummm what're you doing?"I asked.

"Come, sit here. I'm just watching a film,"he said.

I went and sat by him.

"Is it new?"I asked.

"No, it's actually older,"he said.

"Oh okay,"I said and we watched it.

The end credits started playing.

"Do you want to watch anything else?" He asked.

"Actually, I..."I said but he interrupted me.

"You probably have work to do, it's okay,"he said.

I debated whether I should tell him about what happen.

"No, I got a week off,"I said.

"Really?" He asked.

-----Hussain's POV-------

Actually, I..."She said but I interrupted hee.

"You probably have work to do, it's okay,"I said.

I understand how much her work means to her. I mean she skip meals and lose sleep over.

"No, I got a week off,"She said.

"Really?" I asked.

I was bit suprised.

"Yeah," She said and went on and told me how she was able to get it off.

"That's great,"I said. "Your work paid off."

"Bhabi said the same thing,"she said.

"Can you do me a favor?" I asked getting up.

"What?" She asked.

"Lay down,"I said.

"Why?" She asked.

"Just do it,"I said and she did.

I took the blanket and covered her.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"You need to catch up on sleep,"I said.

"But.."

"Don't wanna hear it. I'll be downstairs," I said.

"Okay,"she said and I left.

There now we are both trying to make this relationship work.
