First Art Exhibition
*2 months Later*
Abhay was standing in front of Mrinal's Institute leaning on his Metallic Porsche. Mrinal's course will be completed today. Abhay took of his sunglasses and kept it inside his coat's pocket. Few minutes later Mrinal came outside with Iyaan and Ishaan and another guy. Abhay knew him, he was Andrew Evans.
The moment Mrinal saw she ran to him without caring about anything. Abhay picked her up and hugged her. Students looked at them in awe. They never saw Mrinal with anyone except Iyaan and Ishaan. And from last 2 months Andrew used to hang out with them during breaks.
‘I missed you Baby.' Abhay kissed her forehead as they broke the hug and Abhay put her down. Though they met few times in between these but Abhay always maintained a distance from her in order to not to distract her from her studies.
‘We met 30 minutes before inside the hall.' Mrinal pouted.
‘That time you were a student and I was a chief guest.' She giggled listening to his sentence.
Iyaan and Ishaan stood far away from them with Andrew. Mrinal looked towards them and said ‘Come'
They came near them. Andrew also came with them. He was really thankful to Abhay.
‘Thank you Sir.' He said to Abhay.
‘Your welcome.' They talked for a while. Before leaving Andrew gave a box to Mrinal ‘Thank you Di. I will miss you.'
‘I will miss you too. And what is this?' She asked with a wide smile. In these 2 days they became very good friends.
‘It's a gift from me to you Di. I can call you right?'
‘Thank you so much. And you can always call your sister.' Soon they bid goodbye and directly went to the airport. Today only they will go back to India. Mrinal already met with the workers of their penthouse. They also became emotional just like Mrinal. They will miss their adorable mistress.
Mrinal said goodbye to Iyaan and Ishaan. Her eyes shinned with tears. These two were her shadow. She herself tied rakhi on their hands. Mrinal was always introvert but just like Rima, Isha and Arun Iyaan and Ishaan became her true friends. Though they weren't same age still friendship doesn't care about your age. And all thanks to Abhay.
‘Don't cry they will come to meet you ok.'
She nodded her head and weaved her hand. Soon the jet took off. Mrinal leaned on
*******************************
‘I am ready.' Devika excitedly came downstairs. Everyone was waiting for her. Adi and Barsha sat on the cough looking at the preparations.
Soon a car came inside the Singh Raizada mansion. Mrinal and Abhay came in front of the entrance. She was really excited to meet her family members. But suddenly a boom sound startled her. And at the same time flower started falling on them.
‘WELCOME HOME MIRA/MONI.' Everyone shouted in unison. Mirnal gasped finding her whole family together. Devika handed the plate of the arti to Arti. She welcomed both of them doing arti and putting tilak on their foreheads.
They walked inside the mansion hand in hand. Mrinal felt more than happy for getting such a grant welcome.
The whole house was decorated with balloons and flowers. They had a small yet grand get-together.
************************************
It was late night. Mrinal threw a cushion towards Mridul. He was literally pulling her legs. Abhay was enjoying their childish banters.
At last Mridul stopped due to the angry glares from his mother and aunts.
Few days later whole Chatterjee family went back to Kolkata. They had great time together. They visited few places together in these days. Mrinal was happy and others also.
Abhay took off some days from his work to join them.
They left after saying goodbye to them. Mrinal went back to her room as Abhay left for work. She spent her day with Devika making cookies and chatting with Devika and other workers. They really missed her.
In the evening Abhay came back with Vishal. Mrinal was in her home studio. It was made by Abhay when she wasn't there. The smile was worth of watching.
*1 month later*
Mrinal was nervous. Abhay made her relax ‘Baby relax everything will be fine.'
Mrinal hummed in response. It was her first Art Exhibition. Though Abhay's men took care of everything but Mrinal was tensed.
Soon the exhibition started. Mrinal couldn't believe her success. All her work got sold within few hours. Her paintings were really appreciated by all of them. Abhay could have buy everything at the highest price. But he wanted her to do everything the way she wanted.
But again stupid paparazzi was there also. After all it was the first art exhibition of Mrinal Chatterjee Singh Raizada, wife of the business tycoon Abhay Singh Raizada. But a single glare from Abhay they stopped asking stupid question. They took some pictures of the couple and left. The day went well. A warm smile never left Mrinal's lips. They exhibition ended with a happy note. Everyone congratulated Mrinal for her success. And the first person was Abhay. Devika and Vishal were also there with Mrinal. They felt proud of their daughter - in - law.
Devika and Vishal left before Abhay and Mrinal. Mrinal left with Abhay but the way wasn't towards their mansion.
Because Mrinal wanted to buy gifts with her first income. She was really excited about it. Abhay felt proud of his wife.
She brought gift for everyone. They had lunch outside. After that they went back to their mansion. Devika squealed like a kid when Mrinal gave her the gift. She was still adorable like her childhood. Mrinal felt blessed getting such a nice mother- in - law. She even brought gifts for the workers also. They thanked her.
*At night*
Mrinal was siting on Abhay's lap. Abhay kept caressing her back. Mrinal was feeling secure in his arms.
'I am proud of you Baby.' He placed a kiss on her hair.
She smiled shyly.
'You know all thanks to you. You are my strength Abhi.'
'No Mira Baby you did everything by your own. I just helped you.' He knew it was all her hard work.
'Yes, you helped me and that was my strength. Every night before my exam you didn't sleep only to help me. You are there for me whenever I needed you.' She said truthfully.
'Ok, ok I got your point my Baby.' Abhay rubbed his nose with her.
Mrinal made an adorable pout and asked shyly 'Did you like the gift?'
She knew the gifts weren't nothing in front of the things Abhay uses. But still she wanted to give him something with her first income.
'Of course Baby. It's your first gift for me with your own hard work.'
She hid her face on his chest. They kept talking until Mrinal drifted into her dreamland. Abhay picked her up and laid her on the bed. Kissing her lips he covered her with the duvet. Her innocent face was something he could only look at in his whole life.
Two days later, Mrinal and Abhay went to Kolkata to celebrate her first success with her family. Adi and Barsha were really happy for their aunt. Everyone felt proud of the girl who became successful in her first exhibition. Mrinal was happy with her success. She always wanted to stand on her feet making her parents proud of her. Finally, her dreams have come true. And in her all ups and downs her husband was there.
