13 First kiss

'Ira didn't withdraw her hands. It is said that kiss on hands implies admiration and respect but more so that, it expresses trust on the part of the giver.

SO Does Ira trust me, Now' Viv had most radiant smiled ever.

Ira was smiling too bashfully...

Yes!

It was just a kiss on hands!

Yes!

They were married.

But both were behaving like a shy teenager getting the first kiss, ON LIPS though.

It was the first kiss of love for them

Looking at red-faced Ira, Viv builds up the courage. Got up and Kissed her....

Kissed her Cheeks...

"Thanks for the meal " and ran away.

A man who had a severe egg allergy, every day made an egg for her, had breakfast with her.

What if he accidentally ate some. Or if he didn't wash his hands and ate.

She couldn't imagine the outcome!

'Sure, He likes me!' Ira thought.

'It would make my PLAN to CAPTURE HIS HEARTEasier' she laughed. Attempt 1 success.

She knew he was a responsible traditional family man who cared about his wife but the realization that, the man liked his wife was a bolt out of blue. She was shocked.

Even though she is slow-witted in matters of Love and Emotion but Ira was not blind enough to not see his devotion and care, Now.

The Air is filled with the fragrant smell of garlic and onion fried in the oil. There is also the sound of the meat being sizzled by the fire. It is mixed with a scent of oil.

Ira poured the sliced fish into the pot. The pieces of meat roll in the oil and sizzle, then pour into the cut green garlic and stir-fry.

Ira, remembers the fresh taste by her mom's craftsmanship.

It is now Time for her Plan No:2 Surprise Viv with Lunchbox.

Lunchbox ready...

She went in search of clothes to change.

But as she stood in front of the cupboard, she was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of garments are these? ALL she could see were pants, pencil skirts white blouses, and jackets.

All business attire; tailored and conservative.

She practically flipped over every item in the closet before finding a sky blue short-sleeved dress reaching her knees.

After changing into the dress, She twisted her long hair up and then secured it with a hairpin.

She looked in the mirror and said "Let's utilize the potential of this beauty"

V Architectural firm.

A beautiful woman in blue, thick black hair was slightly rolled and gently draped over her shoulder was looking around in amazement. Her white face was painted with a light makeup, but she was very delicate, and there was a slight anticipation in her eyes.

"Mrs. Vivian, Chairman is now in a very important meeting, please wait a moment." The secretary put a cup of coffee in front of Ira and smiled.

"Okay! I can wait here."

She was astonished by the innovative exterior of the big glass building but she was more amazed by indoor design. It had traditional screens and wood interior. There were many atriums with wood, bamboo, and other plants.

Ira looked around Viv's office,she was sitting on a soft sofa, next to the floor-to-ceiling windows which faced the sea. The wall behind Viv desk was a glass separating a garden.

She walked to it feeling very comfortable. This beautiful and ethereal indoor garden simply took her breath away.

Surely an office deemed to be worthy of a renowned architect...

"The scenery is not bad?" A voice came from behind.

Viv had literally ran from the meeting when he heard Ira's arrival.

"It's stunning and comfortable. Is it your design?. Can you design a similar indoor garden for our apartment?" Ira asked.

"Sure I will start working on it." Viv responded.
