"Sweeta wakey wakey" Kartik said in his sleepy voice while rubbing my back.
"Umm Kartik..... I have *yawn* holiday today" I replied snuggling into Kartik.
Today is freshers party and it's at night, so off for us at day as seniors need to do preparations.
"But baby..... " He started saying something but I hugged him tightly while sleeping so he stopped.
"Acha okay....!! Atleast let me go then" He said creasing my hair.
"No... Be with me" I replied, with eyes still closed and laying on his chest. He is too big for me that I can completely lay on him without needing any more room.
He sighed and replied
"Sweetaa..... I can... But your Raj bhai would come flying here, disturbing your as well as mine sleep too, dragging me with him" He said sadly.
"Don't say like this, Raj bhai is best" I said in sleepy voice
"Yeah yeah Only I know" He replied and I just winced a little in his hold.
"Okay Okay sorry" He said pecking my head.
I remembered he has to attend an important meeting today. So I unwilling, rolled to other side leaving him and I felt something fluffy underneath my hand.
I opened my eyes a little to realize kitty was there. I pulled her and hugged her. She too was sleeping and I heard a sigh from other side.
As Vet doctor uncle said she is safe and we can keep her with us. And I am more than happy as I got a new friend. When I saw her in mid of the road all alone with wounded foot, I can feel my chest getting tight. I know Kartik said me to not to come outside the car but my heart didn't allow me to leave that kitty all alone in between of speedy cars.
And if we talk about the scolding I get after that from Changez khan...!! Then as he allowed kitty to live with us so I forget about that session as I was too happy at the thought of new member living with us.... Or else I wouldn't have talked to him ever....!!
And I heard a sound from my heart... Really??
Umm May be....!! At least I would have pretended that I am angry from him until he come back in the form of sweetie pie kartik instead of khadoos Changez khan.... I have that right after all. But okay he allowed kitty that's why am happy happy...!!!
And I cuddled with her, as she's so softy and fluffy.
He covered me and kitty under duvet and walked away after kissing each side of my cheek and then one on my forehead.

"Shivu baby, I have kept your sandwiches on dinning table with your milkshake in refrigerator. And yes also for your kitty" He creased my head after sometime.
"Have it okay, and do message me after having it with picture of empty plate!! " He added
I lazily hummed, still in my sleep.
"And yeah, don't go to kitchen for anything just call me if you need anything and body guard is just standing outside the home okay!! " He continued
I hummed again and snuggled into kitty.
"I would pick up the call, if not which is not possible but still Do call Raj okay" He said further.
"Okiee" I replied
"And I'll be back by the time you get for college fest, and stylist would come by afternoon" He said and pecked my head.
"I love you" He said pecking my lips.
"Have you eaten you food?" I asked yawning.
He pecked my shoulder and replied, "Ji"
"Sachii??? " I asked again to double check.
"Muchii meri jaan, Now come give me A huggy" He replied in A soft voice.
I lazily opened my arms for him and he hugged me creasing my back and I replied, "Love you bahooot saraaa All the best byeee"
He squeezed me in his arm and said "Byeee mera bachaaa, be a good girl okay" Gaining a scowl from me.
He chuckled and left me with never ending kisses everywhere he can and he finally left after so many more instructions.
_______________________
I felt some wetty tickles on my cheek and I slowly opened my eyes only to realize kitty's licking me.
I rubbed my eyes and sat on the bed, stretching my arms. I had slept for this long after a really long time. Last was when, I was.... I was..... Umm.... I.... Don't remember....!! As at Yuvraj's bhai home I always wake up before he yell at me and punish me because of sleeping for long hours.
Here too, Kartik never punishes or yell like yell on me for anything, minor scoldings are other thing, that too because he cares. But yeah, he too wakes me up early for college and studies. He is too particular and strict regarding that.
"You know what he says Kitty??" I looked at her, sitting in my lap.
"Anything, but when it comes to studies, there should be no compromise" I mocked in Kartik's dominating tone and giggled.
"Kitty, I already miss him" I said sadly while creasing at her back.
"Should I call him? " I came up with an idea but when I looked at the clock, it was 10 'o' clock.
I realized, if I call him, the first thing he would ask be, "Have you eaten sweeta" And his sweeta won't have any answer.
I don't want him to come all way here just to make me eat the breakfast. So it's better to go and have a bath, finish my breakfast and then call him with a picture proof that I had eaten!!
Phew...!! Why he treats me like a toddler?? I don't know, but I love his care. And this thought bought instant blush on my face. Uffff...!! Shivi Stop taking feeling. Get ready...!!!
I picked the kitty, and then my eyes laid on Coco, sitting sadly on the side table. I really felt bad for it, I didn't gave him a little bit of my time in last so many days.
I left the kitty and picked him up. I gave him a tight hug and said, "Sorry Baby, I was little busy these days am so sorry"
I looked at it and continued with a big smile, "But I have brought you a friend, now you'll not get bore"
I left him on the bed and ran down stairs to take pikachu!!
I looked around, and it was eight on the couch relaxing.
"Here you are, come I'll introduce you to your friend" I said picking it up and ran back to my room.
Phew!! I almost fall back on my bed lying straight on my back as am already tired, with Pikachu and kept it securly beside my head with Coco.
I picked up kitty, sitting lazily on the bed and went to bathroom, grabbing my towel.
After a quick shower with kitty, I wrapped myself in towel with kitty in other. I grabbed one more towel and wrapped it around my wet damp hair.
I walked outside the bathroom in towel and kept the kitty wrapped in towel at bed and hurried towards my wardrobe for comfy clothes, obviously for me and kitty. I realized am still in Kartik's room.
I let that towel fall and wore his sweatshirt with loose lower. I know I am not looking more than a sack of oversized potatoes but okay these clothes are much comfortable than mine.
I hugged myself as it feels like am inside Kartik!!! It looks Good..... only if we ignore the hanging sleeves of his sweatshirt, from which barely my tiny arm are visible. I pulled them up, so that I can look little better. Atleast not like a five year old who is forced to wear clothes of his elder sibling!!
I searched in his wardrobe to find something for kitty and finally a tshirt came into view, may be of near to perfect size.
But ufff, these all are so big for her. I gave up and went outside.
I looked at kitty who was calmly sitting over the bed in wrapped towel. May be I would have something for her in my wardrobe.
"I'll be back kitty, just wait for two more minutes" And by saying this I went to my room, straight to my wardrobe to find something for kitty.
Ahhhh finally, there it is. I found one hoodie which is for coco actually and would fit for kitty perfectly.
I rushed back in excitement as I can't wait to see her in this.
On reaching back, I unwrapped it and gently made her wear this.
And Awwiee!! She looks so cute...!! I hugged her tightly as I hadn't seen anything more cute than THIS... really....!!!
I picked her up and went down to have breakfast...!!
Ugh Finally I reached here. I checked my phone to confirm if I am safe and Haahh!! No calls. No text. Thank God Am still safe.
I patted my shoulder to appreciate myself and ate the breakfast already prepared by Kartik. Who says business man are not a good cook?? Ufff have this and I can bet my life if You'll find anything better than THIS ONE..!!! My Kartik is best in everything...!!
He also have prepared milk and cereals for kitty! How sweet he is!! She was licking and sipping from the bowl and after finally finishing it, I clicked the pic to give Changez Khan the prove!
He trusts me the most but in the case of food, he acts too strict!!
Mission Accomplished 🐿❤ :Me
I patiently waited for him to reply and meanwhile I picked up the kitty and settled on the couch to binge watch something on television.
I shuffled channel after channel to search for something.
And realized a message popped on my screen.
Changez Khan: Very Good mera bacha, proud of you😚❤
Seeing her message made me blush and strange feelings started flowing in my body.
I hid my face between my hands and just smiled like an idiot after looking at that message. His little appreciations really effect me a lot...!! Ahhhh Krishna Ji..!!
And I realized, Kitty stepped on the television remote and changed into news channel.
Breaking News: The Renowned Owner of
Y.R. Industries, Mr. Yashwardhan Singh, Father of business Tycoon Kartik Singh Rajput, CEO of multinationally successful Rajput PVT. LTD. is now bankrupted.
Their several industries catched fire, their goods got destroyed. Just ash is left behind.
All his investors backed off.
Mr. Yashwardhan's company completely collapsed after this incident.
We got to know that bank from where they took loans are planning to sell their company, their entire stakes as well as Rajput villa to attain money as their condition doesn't seem they would be able to return the money..!!
Will anyone believe this all happened in a day??
I turned off the Television with mix of shock and surprise. Just yesterday they come to our home and this all happened just in a half day?? In maximum 12 hours??
Do Kartik know this?? Is he.. Is he aware of this?
I immediately grabbed my mobile and dialed his number.
*Ring*
*Ring*
He picked up the call and replied, "Hmm meri jaan?? "
I managed to return back to my normal breath and I am breathing too fast after watching that news.
"Shivi, what happened? Are you fine? " He asked in tense voice may be he listened my irregular breaths.
I chugged down the water and tried to say something when body guard uncle rushed inside.
"Beta, aap theek hain??" He too asked worried.
"Shivi, say something are you fine" Kartik too asked from other side of the phone.
"Ji, Ji am fine kartik... Am fine uncle" I assured them both.
"Pakka" They both asked simultaneously and I replied with a hmm.
I heard Kartik sigh, while body guard uncle was typing something on his mobile.
"Okay, beta tell me if you want something" Uncle said and went back outside while I smiled nodding.
"Shivi, you scared me what happened hmm?? " Kartik asked still with worry in his voice.
"I.... I just saw news" I tried to explain him the situation.
"Ahm-hmm?? " He replied.
"Their they were showing something something, related to your parents" I said stammering , still in shock with what I just heard.
"Baby, it's just news stunt to gain attention of audience hmm, you don't have to worry about this. I'll handle" He said in a calm tone.
"But Kartik... " I was going to say something but,
"No buts, and why are you on TV hmm?? Go and complete your assignments and other college work. I'll check that first when I'll reach home only after that I'll drop you in fest" He said in authoritative strick voice.
"What??" I asked surprised. Is he serious? From his tone it doesn't seems like he is joking.
"Hnji... Go shabash and study like a good girl" He said in soft yet strict tone.
"Okay" I replied in a slow voice.
"That's like my good girl! Love you" He replied and I can feel him smiling at other end.
"Love you too" I said and hanged up.
"Chalein Kitty, Changez Khan has ordered to complete college stuff first" I said looking at it and picked her up to move back to my room.
_________________________
I don't know since how long I was studying. I lost track of time.
All my bed is messed up with scattered books, with kitty watching me trying hard to finish my work.
And Victory!! I finally had. I took my phone and realized it's
3 in the afternoon.
There's a message too from Kartik. I smiled and opened it.
Changez Khan: Hey sweeta??
Already missing you!!🌷❤
Still studying!! Okay Good job..
FOCUS... ❤❤
Heyieee!! Ordered food for you, and yes for kitty too please have it. Don't forget to have lunch❤✨
I saw his messages, and day 15373892000 of asking, WHY HE IS LIKE THIS?? WHY HE BE SO CUTE SOMETIME...?? Actually most of the time except.... Ahhh...!!! Okay let's stick to the good part only.
I dialled his number without any second thought.
He picked it up in second ring as always. I know he must be in meeting, but he never cuts or ignore my message or call. Never...!!!
"Heyieee Kartik, I love you, I love you, I love you sooooo muchhh umahhh" I said the moment he picked up the call.
"Ayieeee okay am coming home" He replied.
"Wait.. Wait wait... Is your meeting over?? " I asked.
"Going on, but now I want to lock your lips with mine" He whispered, resulting in instant shiver down my spine.
"Have patience, You are not coming before completing your work" I replied
"Ahhh that is not fair" He said slowly in a tone like am talking to a disappointed child.
"Have you eaten your lunch" I asked.
He took a pause without replying.
"Kartik?? " I asked in a commanding tone.
"I didn't get time" He replied in an inaudible voice.
"Now this is NOT FAIR" I replied disappointed.
He had messaged me like 100 times, to remind me to have lunch. What about him???
He's..... He's Too careless!!
"I'll have it after meeting, I promise" He added further.
"No, Abhi khao" I replied angrily.
"Bachaa, abhi investors ke sath betha hoon" He tried to explain.
"They too must be hungry. Take a break and have lunch I DON'T KNOW" I replied.
He sighed and finally said,
"So Gentlemen, Meri jaan on other side of the phone is angry. I think we all should take a break and have our lunch" And I heard several chuckles.
Ahhhh!! Why he said this..!!
I am feeling embarrassed now. God... Can't this earth open so that I can hide myself beneath.
"Kartikkkkkkkk" I said with urgency.
"And Yeah Ruhi, say to all the employees to have a break and have their lunch too"
"Order the best food for
Mr. Kapoor and his team and for us too" He added while I was still on the call listening their conversation.
"Happy sweeta? " He asked me, gaining back my attention.
"Hmm" I hummed shyly.
And he chuckled.
While I was talking to him, I already reached down stairs with kitty to find a package of food for me and kitty on the dinning table as mentioned by him on the message.
"Have you eaten by the way" He asked me.
"Yeahh, just going to have it. And you know what" I said excitedly.
"Hmm hmm?? " He hummed with the same excitement.
"I have completed all my assignments and other stuff" I said with a big smile, am sure he can feel it.
"Ahhaa really?? Very Good sweetaaa... So proud of you, tell me what you want as gift?? " He asked with proud.
"Nahh nothing. You are with me, that's enough" I replied.
"Umm Really??" He asked
"Hnji" I replied shyly.
"Say me that you love me" He said softly with a flirt in his voice.
"I love you I love you I love you bahooooot sara" I replied stretching my words.
"Ahm hm?? Where's my kiss??" He asked in his deep throaty voice.
"Ahmm Ahmm" Someone cleared his throat behind.
"Am still here" I heard Raj bhai from behind.
And I heard Kartik's scoff too.
Okay!! Embarrassment number 2...!! I can't take this. Now I definitely what Earth to open up. What Bhai would be thinking.!!
"Okay Kartik... Have your lunch byee byee" I said fastly.
"But.... But" He replied.
"Byeeee" And I hanged up.
I settled on the chair and had my lunch while kitty had its own.
After finishing it, I washed off the dishes.

I heard the door bell and I said loudly, "Cominggg" And rushed to the door.
I opened the door and the one who was standing in front, was none other than the most renowned makeup artist and stylist of country. I had seen her interviews and news in magazines and new paper.
'Anamika Pillai with her team'
[Author's note: Okay I know it's not her real name but I moulded it to use in my story (those who know). ]
"Hello Mam" She said stretching her hand for shaking.
I shaked it and greeted her.
I gestured her and others to come inside. I knew Kartik said the best make up artist but this BEST????
She and others followed me inside and I asked them,
"Would you like to have something? Water or anything" I asked. I am really stunned looking at her. To see her in real, was just a dream for me. I never thought of witnessing her in front of me that too for doing my MY MAKE OVER!!! AM I DREAMING....!!!
OKAY SHIVI YOU HAVE TO CONTROL.... YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM NOT NOW!!!
I took a deep breath to calm myself.
"Nothing mam Thank you, Kartik sir said us to get you ready in the best way possible before the sun sets, so we would like to start doing that as instructed without wasting any other second" She replied in a professional tone.
And I just nodded. As I am still surprised. Ahhh...!!
I motioned them to follow me to my room.
