Mohit's POV
" Hi, dad!! Mom !! " I said to them.
" Who has called him here and why?? He doesn't care for me. He doesn't have any time for me. Tell him to go, I don't want to see him. " she said looking away from me.
" Mom !!! You are overreacting. "
" Of course, I am overreacting... I send at least 75 messages and called at least 30 times and still, my only son never bothered to call back or come, I am overreacting. "
" Mom I was really busy... "
" Right... Go and do whatever you were doing. Don't worry about me. Go and spend your life the way you want. How does that matter if your mom felt humiliated when her friend asked her every day that when are you taking her daughter on an outing? "
" Mom I didn't like the girl at all. "
" Why?? She is so beautiful, smart, educated, cultured, belongs to a good family... "
" But I don't like her... I hope that also matters if I have to select someone to spend my whole life with?? "
" At least meet her once... You talked to her for merely 5 minutes and already decided that you don't like her?? "
" Exactly my point mum... I didn't want to spend more than 5 minutes with her. Why waste time in meeting her?? "
" But you don't even know her... "
" I don't even want to know her, Mum."
" Enough!!! I have had enough of this nonsense... both of you please shut up. Mohit what is the matter?? Do you like someone else?? "
" Umm Yeah... " I said and my mum got very excited all of a sudden.
" What?? Is it?? Then why didn't you tell me?? Who is she?? Tell me I will go and talk to her and her family. "
" No mum... Please it's not like that... I need more time. "
" Why ?? If you like her, propose to her and get married. What are you waiting for ?? "
" Mom... I can't get married to h..her. please give me some time. I need time to sort out things. It is a bit complicated. "
" But you are almost 27... "
" Just 27 mum not 47... I want at least two years and I don't want you to bother me till then. "
" Are you out of your mind... You would be 29 by then. "
" So what mum?? "
" I don't want to wait that long. "
" I can't help it. I am in love with someone but it is complicated. I can't get married just now... I won't marry anyone else.. "
" Is it that Rathore girl, the photographer?? "
" No mom, she is just a friend and she is happily married. Leave her out of it. "
" But 2 years is too long, at least tell me who is she?? "
" No mum... "
" See it doesn't matter to us if she is poor or rich or of she is from another caste or religion. We don't mind, as long as the girl is good... "
" Mom, please... Give me some time... Or forget about it. "
" Mohit !!! "
" No mum... "
" Will you both please shut up?? Ok, Mohit, you get your two years, but if you don't sort out your complicated situation by that, then I won't listen. After these two years, if you are not settled down, you would have to marry the girl we choose for you. Is this arrangement ok with you? " Dad said looking into my eyes.
I had no other option but to say yes, at least my family would leave me alone for 2 years. 2 long years of peace...
I nodded and we had a truce... They would not bother me for 2 long years now.
I felt so relieved and free I called Robin and we planned and went for a small holiday in France. Those days were so carefree and beautiful.
Two and a half year later...
Mohit's POV
It has been almost 2 years and 7 months since that fateful day when my dad had called me home.
2 years which looked like a very long happy period at that point, seemed to fly away at a supersonic speed.
Robin and I went on at least 6 romantic and carefree trips to the various countries of the world as we both were creative people and could do our work from any part of the world. He kept composing his music and I kept designing the dresses during our long holidays.
In fact, as we both were happy, it reflected in our work as well and my designs and his music both came out to be even better.
We got even more work and we both got very busy. Manu was taking care of my office in my absence as she still shared the workspace with me. Even Sahil felt that hat it was safer if she kept working here with me.
But then 6 months back she got pregnant and as she was carrying twins, she had to take things easy... So now I couldn't go out that easily.
And as my 2 years were over, my family was again after me k ke anything.
I said that I had to go out for my work and operated from Mumbai for almost the first 2 months. Robin was giving music in a few films so he was in Mumbai most of the times.
But then as Manu took the maternity break, I had to be here. Since then my mom has arranged many meetings with various girls. My sister has been trying to pair me up with her younger friends or the younger sisters of her friends.
I had been trying every trick to avoid them. I could easily write a book on how to say no to a marriage alliance. And if I ever get it published, I was sure that it would be the best sellers of the century.
So I managed to escape for around 7 months after those 2 careful years.
It was evening, to bead planning to go home when my phone started buzzing. I was shocked when I got a call from a hospital. They told me that my mom was hospitalized.
I was shocked and rushed there. I asked the doctor about my mom's health and he said that she was highly stressed. Her BP was too much and her sugar level was too low.
I saw my mom lying on that hospital bed and ran towards her my grandmother and sister were also there. My dad was out of Delhi at that time.
" Mum !!! " I said and held her hand but she turned her face and pulled her hand out of mine.
" What have you done to yourself mom?? " I asked. Her face looked pale. She looked weak, I turned her face towards me but she turned her face away again.
" Mom, I am talking to you. " I said.
" Mom... !!! " I said in a louder voice.
" Maya, tell him to go away, I don't want to talk to him or see his face. "
" Oh, mum !! Why are you saying that? "
" Maya, tell him to go... it does not matter to him that his family is suffering. "
" Please don't say that mum, I love you all. "
" You love us?? Oh please, you never call or visit us, forget that you don't even rerun my calls. "
" That's because you all want me to get married while I don't want that. "
" So?? You said that you wanted 2 years and we have you. What is the problem?? Who is that girl?? If you can't talk to her, then I will. " Mom said.
" No mum... Leave that, I just can't get married to one I love, so I don't want to marry ever... Just please let it be. Please can we not just discuss this?? "
" Do whatever you want to do. But I would also not take medicines. I don't want a longer life like this. What would I do in a longer life?? Sulk more that my son doesn't want to get married. " She got a bit hyper.
" Mom please cool down... Why don't you understand... I don't want to get married. "
" Ok, son fine... I can understand, even I don't want to live. " I got scared that her condition might get worsen.
" Mom !!! "
" No, enough is enough... Either you find a suitable and beautiful girl of your own choice or our choice and get married to her within a month or I will lose interest in my life. I don't want to live. "
" Mom this is absurd.... "
" I have already said what I had to. "
" Maya, Dadi maa put some sense and into her. This sheer blackmail. "
Mohit's POV" Maya, Dadi maa put some sense into her. This is sheer blackmail. "" No, she is absolutely right, I will also support your mom and do the same. She might survive as she is quite young as compared to me, but I am literally living on medicines. I won't survive if I stop taking them. But why would I want to live a longer life?? To. see you ruining your life?? No, I don't want to live either. " Daadi ma said." What has gotten into everyone?? "" Go from here, but don't take my warning lightly or you would regret it later on. " Mom said bitterly." Maya... Say something to both of them. "" What shall I say, they both are elder than me. I may not agree with their way to persuade you. But they are right, it is high time, you must settle down now. " She said." Has everyone gone mad?? "&
Mohit's POVManu had already gone on her honeymoon with her hot husband. I could not disturb her with my problems.There was an unconscious girl in my house. I didn't know what to do about her.I was getting tired and must have slipped into slumber when I heard a sound. A sound as if something had fallen on the floor. I got out of my bed and went to see the girl. She was shivering badly and was very restless.I went close to her, she was still not awake but was muttering something as if she was having a bad dream. She was perspiring like anything. Her forehead had tiny dots of it and she looked petrified and disgusted at the same time.I tried to wake her up but I didn't know what to call her. I touched her on her shoulder and she pushed my hand away immediately and shrunk away from me." Don't touch me... don't come near m
Mohit's POV" You don't know anything, I had to leave... I was not safe there... as well." She said in a low voice." What?? What happened?? " I asked.Oh My God !!! So that dream..." Nothing just leave all this. I don't want to bother you anymore Mohit Ji."" It's ok, you can tell me if you want... I would not be bothered. Where will you go?? What will you do?? "" I haven't thought about it but I am not going back. I will find a job. "" Were you not scared for your life? It was very dangerous to leave your house at that time of night. "" It didn't bother me at that time. As it is there is nothing good in my life... Listen, I am very thankful to you and I know I am sounding a bit ungrateful to you, but I don't want to talk about my life. Thanks for your concern, I will find a jo
Srusti's POVI woke up and saw that I was in a different room, it was a very well kept room. Where was I ??I looked around and saw that I was in bed with a man.A man ??? Oh my God !!!!Who was he ?? Why were we in the same bed? I looked at myself my clothes were different. Looked like a man's clothes.Oh god !! What happened??? I hope it's not...I was scared and was about to cry anytime very soon.The man was holding me in his arms, I pushed him very hard. He loosened his arm.Oh, God !! He was the most handsome man I had ever seen. Tall, fair, very handsome. But why and how were we in the same bed??" Who are you??" I asked getting out of the bed. But winced badly. Something was wrong with my foot, I was in pain. I was about to fall when he caught me.
Srusti's POVI knew my sister will see it in the morning as she always got up before her husband. I was still holding that big knife in case he comes back.I came out of the house and closed the doors. Just then I saw that it was raining. I had not taken any umbrella, but I could not go back inside. I planned to stay there till the rain stopped but all of a sudden I heard a sound coming from inside and I knew that I had to run away.I ran with my full speed to avoid any encounter with that disgusting man. I wanted to get as far away as possible from him.So, I kept running and all of a sudden I was in front of a car and before I could do anything, it hit me hard.And once I opened my eyes I was in bed with that extremely handsome man him holding me protectively.He looked so concerned about me. He was talking so nicely. But
Srusti's POV" Er... Would you please tell me your food preferences, I would make food accordingly? "" I am sure, I would like anything you make... "" Please, it would be easier for me to make food, if I know about your likes and dislikes. " I said and he smiled again.He told me about all that and then I asked him what type of food he prefers to take to the office. And he said he has had so much junk food in last month that he would prefer Indian food for quite a few days now and I nodded.He said that he might send someone from the office for his lunch, so I didn't have to make everything early in the morning. I smiled and nodded and after flashing his beautiful smile, he went to his room.I did some preparations for the next day and wound up the kitchen and went to my room as well.I was thinking a
Mohit's POVI started eating the food very fast, it was very good. But I was too hungry to say anything about it. The girl, I couldn't even recall her name at that time because of the stress, came to me with water." I know you are very hungry but you must eat slowly. You might chock on it. " She said with a sweet smile." The food is very good, I am very hungry and I am in a hurry. " I said taking another bite.My phone started ringing, I saw my sister calling me again. I rolled my eyes and took another bite. But she called me again. I got so annoyed that I picked up the call." Hello !! What is your problem, Maya? Give me a break... at least let me eat my dinner. I have been given a month, why are all of you after my life?? " I said before she said a single word." Give you a break?? Do you even have an idea, what you hav
Srusti's POVIt was about 11:30 PM and he was still not back. Both his mom and daadi both were hospitalized. I hope both of them were fine now. It seems that Maya was his sister.I was waiting for him to come home so that I serve food to him again. He had not eaten much for the whole day.He was having his breakfast when Maya called him and after talking to him, he was so irritated that he stopped eating the breakfast just after having 2 bites. I felt bad for him as he was enjoying it so much.He didn't even send for lunch and when he came back home he looked so tired. I asked if he had breakfast and lunch or not, he just shook his head and went to his room.I heated the soup and took some soup sticks and served it to him." You have not eaten anything since morning, please have this, I will serve the food in 15 minutes. This is broccoli sou
A week later.....Srusti's POV" leave me. Now !!! Mohit Ji, let me go."" No way... I would not let you go anywhere."Oh God, this man was insatiable... I lost count, how many times we made love last night and even now he was already in the mood for another round." I need to go to the washroom..." I said and burst out laughing." Very funny... "" Look at the time, Mr Paul, get ready or you will get late. "" You are right, Mrs Paul. Let's get ready. " I was shocked when he picked me up and took me to the washroom and he insisted that we take a shower together, in the name of saving the most important of the natural resources on earth.Somehow, I was amazed, how he always had a way to get things done his way.The cards were sent to all the guests. Everyone in the family had their list of guests. Everyone was so e
Srusti's POV. Once di and Jiju also left, he picked me up in bridal style and took me to our apartment. I was shocked to see it was decorated with lots and lots of flowers and candles. There was food and lots of snacks on a trolly. " What is all this?? " " It seemed that our friends returned a favour. That's why they left immediately. " He smiled. " What do you mean?? " " Sahil and Manu must have decorated it for us to spend a romantic evening here. " " But how did they manage everything so soon?? " " It has been almost 1 hour since I hey left. " " Seriously?? But how did they assume that we would come here?? We could have gone anywhere to our home or your parents' home... " " Experience darling... " " What d

Do something... call Vikram bhai sa or even better call Gautam bhai. I think we need to get his head scanned. "Manu said holding Sahil's arm." I am fine, cut the drama, Manu. Viraj is just playing a game to annoy me. Srusti had already made him understand.He has already forgiven me but he wanted to teach me a lesson. So sent his cousin. "" What?? What an actor he is?? " Sahil said." Hmmm...he made me so tensed that I could not even eat and sleep. Now it is a payback time.Sujoy called him and it seemed that Viraj was scared as hell." He told me to wait, he is coming. He told me to stay away from her or he would kill me. "" Great !! " I said and smiled." What a brother-in-law. " Sahil laughed and shook his h

What??There must be some misunderstanding." Viraj sent him. He is Viraj's cousin. Just send him back or I would send him to the hospital. "" Oh yes, I remember now, Viraj talked about his cousin, Sujoy. I was so tensed for you that it escaped from my mind. Cool down, I would talk to him. "He went to my cabin." Yeah, beautiful you were saying something?? " I asked my pretty wife." No, I was not... "" Ok, then I will call Viraj and shout at him or even better, I would go to his office this instance and beat him. "" NO !!! "" Tell me the truth !! "Sahil's POVWhat the hell is going on?? I opened the door
Srusti's POV" What are you doing?? " I asked as I was shocked." Proposing to my beautiful wife but for real this time. " He said with a killer smile." We are already married. Aren't we?? "I asked but he just held my hand in his big one and looked into my eyes. His eyes were absolutely dark with emotion." Will you take me as your husband for real? Let me make one thing clear that we are absolutely married by all means. "" But... "" What happened, darling?? You want to ask something?? Please do... I don't want any communication gap between us.

Mohit looked very amused at di's shocked expression."Babies ?? You are pregnant beta??? Babies mean... twins?? Wow!! We are so happy. Why didn't you tell us? When did you get to know?? Mohit, why didn't you tell us?? "Maa was speaking without even listening." Maa..."" You need to take care of yourself, which week is on?? But how do you know that you are carrying twins??

Mohit's POVI opened the door, picked her up in the bridal style and went to our room.I looked at her and smiled. I would have to change her clothes again. I can't let her sleep in my latest design. Moreover, I had to think about her comfort too. So I took out nightwear for her and my heart started jumping in my chest.I was very excited but I didn't trust myself with her at this moment. I just wanted to make love to her until she lay trembling in my arms.I wanted to kiss her beautiful eyes, her soft plump lips her swan-like neck... Hell, I wanted to kiss every inch of her body. I wanted to stroke her soft skin.Shit!! I was losing it. I took a deep breath again. I sighed, lifted my hand to my face and massage my temples. I needed a cold shower.I didn't want to lose my self-control and seduce her like this it would annoy her and w
Mohit's POV" Excuse me, miss. "I went towards her and tapped on her shoulder. She turned and my heart skipped a few beats.Oh, God!! My Srusti !! My beautiful wife??Was she there for real?? I have been imagining her everywhere these days.She was looking very different. Her hair was pressed straight. She was looking very different but beautiful." Hey, Mohit !! Surprised?? Shocked?? Meet my new friend and assistant Srusti. " Manu said patting my arm and placing her other arm around Srusti's shoulder." She is here?" I said. I was so happy to see her that I stated the very obvious thing." Don't act like a duffer. Of course, she is here. "She laughed at me." But she refused to come with me. "" Because we wanted to give you a surprise. "" Ok, thanks!!! I was shocked to see a lady wearing my design which got finished only today. I thought it was stole
Mohit's POVI had to go as Sahil and Samar wanted to discuss the case against Robin.Though Robin cheated with me and tried to harm my Srusti, I felt bad for him. He was blackmailing me... I didn't want to harm him as I once had a relationship with him. I just wanted him to leave me alone.But sahil and Samar said that he was more venomous than snakes. If we leave him like that, he would harm my Srusti or anyone in my family. So they wanted to make a strong case against him.Samar had found out a few more similar cases against him.Means he was with me only for money so I hat he could use my wealth and status and then blackmail me later on?I was hurt by his behaviour and was ashamed of the fact that I chose him as my partner. He was a criminal for god's sake.I came back to my office and my lovely wife made me eat food. I loved it whenever she fussed around me over food and health. She loves me too.I w
