Sahil's POV
My best friend, Samar and I were going to the airport to pick my sister Swati. She was coming back from Canada.
My phone was ringing continuously while I was driving. I saw the number it was Damini... Why was she calling me all of a sudden?? I stopped the car on the side and picked up the phone.
" Hello!! Hi Damini... "
" Hi, Sahil.. "
" You are calling me at this hour, is everything alright?? "
" I just want you to put some sense in your brother... " she said.
" Calm down beautiful !! Take a deep breath... What has he done now? "
" How can I be calm?? He is driving all over the city. " She said
" What?? Has he gone mad?? Do me favour, just slap him tight. How can he be so careless?? Give the phone to him please. "
" Here talk to him." She offered her phone to him.
" Hello... " I heard Sagar's voice.
" Have you lost it?? " I asked him.
" Sahil please you also don't start yaar.. "
" Don't start??? I will punch your face... Don't you dare to drive."
" You know, I drive very well... " He said to me.
" Shut up... Don't argue.."
" What is the problem ... I am not even tensed now?? "
" But you are lost in your love ... Just like a lovesick puppy. "
" Shut up Sahil... "
" Don't argue... Or I will tell mom... Then you know... You will have to tackle her... "
" Don't even think about it... " He said in a scared voice and I laughed aloud. I know my mom is going to make him go mad with her emotional dramas.
" Then don't dare to drive... Or two women are going to eat your brain like anything... Poor brother of mine, imagine. two women nagging at him... Hey, I am going to pick Swati from the airport. Bye ... Be in your limits. Give the phone to her." He said bye and gave the phone to her.
" Hello? " Damini said.
" Damini he would not argue now... I am going to pick Swati. Can you drive? "
" Yeah ok... Bye.. you also drive safely. See you later. Don't worry I can drive your brother around the city... He is in safe hands. " She said and I smiled and said bye.
" They both are so cute. " Samar said.
" Yeah, and both are stubborn too. But I guess Damini knows how to tackle Sagar. " we both laughed.
" Just relax... Chandigarh is a rather safe place for driving."
" I know that... But I didn't want any risk." I said. We reached the Airport and I parked the car in the parking.
We went inside and waited for her... She is my Jaan... we are very close. She is 4 years younger than me.
Finally, I saw her coming...
She came running towards me and literally jumped into my arms. She was just like a child. I hugged her tight.
Samar said hello to her very sweetly and she smiled at him and nodded. We collected all her luggage and came out of the airport.
She kept talking, telling about her University and friends. She studies at McMaster University.
We reached home and mom hugged her and got emotional. As usual, she had prepared our favourite food. I was very hungry by now and I am sure Samar would also be. As it is he was crazy about good food.
I usually tease him that people eat to live, but he lives to eat. Crazy foodie...
Dad was in the USA to help his friend. So mom and Swati were supposed to go to Chandigarh with us.
Mom kept telling Swati about, how Sagar had found a girl for himself and now mom and Swati were going to meet her tomorrow. Mom was very excited to meet her future daughter-in-law. She asked us about Damini and Samar said that she was very beautiful, intelligent and sweet. I told mom that Samar is like her brother.
I asked Samar to stay with us. We had to submit some plans for the approval of our Township which we were making in Chandigarh.
He accepted the offer and I showed him to the guest room and went to sleep in my room as we were very tired.
I looked at my phone, there were 4 missed calls from Raima. She was a very beautiful, hot and smart girl. We went on a few dates together. I loved spending time with her. But now she was getting a bit clingy.
I called her, " Hello... Sahil... " She said in a very seductive tone.
" Hi !! I just saw that you called. What is the matter? "
" Can't I call you just like that ?? I was missing you a lot... "
" Raima, I am in Delhi... I travelled almost the whole day... I am really very tired. If it is not important, then can we please talk later on? "
" Sure... But did you miss me? "
" Well, No... I didn't get much time." I said though it sounded a bit rude to even me.
" But I missed you.. when are you coming back?? I would love to spend some time alone with you... Just the two us... You know what I mean. Right? "
" Hmm ... Ok bye. I am feeling very sleepy... Will talk later. " I said and hang up the phone. She was irritating me.
I never believed in love or serious relationships. My twin Sagar was in love with Damini for the last 11 years and he was so crazy about her that he never even looked at any other girl.
But he suffered a lot... I had seen him getting suffered. I must have dated at least 200 girls but never felt that stupid thing called love.
I was a free bird and I intended to remain like that. I believed in just flirting, dating and one night stands. I was not going to settle any time soon.
No matter what the situation would be I am sure, I would come out of it. I came out of such a situation with the help of my best friend Samar who was a lawyer.
My dad got me in a very difficult situation but thankfully I found the solution. Nobody would ever be able to bind me. I was thinking about all that and slept.
******
I went to do my work but they needed a few more certificates and another document. It would take at least 2 more days.
But my mom was over excited to meet Damini. So I asked Samar to take them to Chandigarh and fax all the certificates and documents.
Mom and Swati went with him. I didn't want to go home as no one was there.. so I called Sujoy and another friend of mine to come to a new club.
We enjoyed a lot, doing endless flirting, dancing and a bit of drinking. I came back home very late. I met one of the girls, I dated once. So she clung to me. We had a pretty good time together.
Samar faxed all the documents the next day and I submitted all of them and finished some more office work and then went to Chandigarh as Sagar was going to have his roka on the next day.
I reached the guest house, I saw Sagar and hugged him. I was happy to see him after all these days. He also hugged me tightly. We were very close to each other, as we were twins.
" Where are mom and Swati? " I asked
" In the room next to Damini's. "
" So you are ready to get married brother... " I teased him.
" Well yes.. of course... What about you?? What do you think about getting married?? Everyone has to settle down someday... " He asked me.
Me?? He knows what I think about this.. why did he even bother to ask?
" Oh please keep me away... I want to live like a free bird... "
" Hmmm... But... "
" No buts... You concentrate on your wedding... I am happy like this. I am going to meet mom and Swati. I didn't spend much time with Swati since she came back to India. " I said and went to mom's room.
Sahil's POVThe moment I stepped in mom's room, I saw that she was talking to Swati whose back was towards the door. I picked up Swati from the backside to startle her to swirling her in air, I usually do pick and turn her around, twirling her in the air.Just when I turned towards the door, I saw Sagar standing there. He was shocked. But why?? I was not doing it for the first time. Swati shrieked and I placed her back on the floor.She turned and slapped me hard and I froze at my place. Oh shit!!! It was not my sister Swati. It was another girl with the almost same height and body structure.She looked angry and shocked. But she was looking very pretty with that red tint on her cheeks." Oh.. oh... I am sorry... I thought .... that you were Swati... My sister. " I said still holding my cheek." Yeah.. ok.. fine... I am sorry.." she said and ran away from the room. I was confused and still shoc
Sahil's POVI got up and got ready to go to market. Where was Swati??Mom was overexcited and was about to panic if everything was in order or not. Though Sagar had finished everything. Sagar and mom were ready and waiting for Swati to get ready." Where is Swati?? I need to leave now... As I have to go.. and pick the fruits, sweets and clothes. " I asked." She is not ready till now.. you go alone... " Sagar said." No way... I will not go to pick the dresses alone... Tell her to come fast." I was adamant. I would not go to a saree shop alone, at any cost. I would wait till Swati come.I turned all of a sudden and bumped into Manu making her lose her balance. She was just about to fall when I caught her in my arms. She was looking so beautiful and sweet. Her long black hair was open. Her big black orbs had become bigger with shock. I felt a little tug kind of thing towards her.We both kept standing in the same posit
Sahil's POVWe all arranged everything that was needed for pooja. The pundit Ji came and started the pooja and havan. He asked to get the prasad which should be prepared at home. He had not told us about it... We had everything that was ordered from outside. We all were very confused.I was not sure what to do? Only mom could make it. we were about to ask mom to make something but Manu said," Aunty, I can make it, you don't worry and just attend the pooja."She went into the kitchen and saw that it was fully furnished. She was looking for the ingredients. Samar, Swati and I came for helping her as there were going to be at least 50- 60 people.She looked for the big utensils and the ingredients. Swati and Samar helped her." Manu there is no Rava ( semolina). " Swati said and shook her head." Tell me what you want, I will get from the market. " I offered but Manu shook her head and said, " It will
Sahil's POVI went home to get fresh. Everyone was in the living room. They were having tea and were ready to go out." Sahil, come have tea. " Mom said and I nodded. Swati came and hugged me. I joined them while Swati went to the kitchen to get me tea.She gave me tea and a plate with a few pieces of cake in it. I was hungry so I took a bite of it. It was very nice but pretty different." Wow!! This is very different and delicious. What is in it? Did you make it? " I smiled at Swati.. as she was very fond of trying new recipes." No Bhai, Manu made it but I helped her too. It is an apple spiced cake. I love the flavour of cinnamon in it. " She said and looked at her.I looked at her, but as usual, she was not even looking at me." Did I hear cake?? " Samar came in and asked.Of course, all you hear and think about is food...Everyone was happy to see him, even Manu...
Manyata's POVWhat the hell does he think of himself?? God's gift to the women of this world??I swear I would have killed him for touching me like that. I slapped him very tightly. He looked shocked as he thought, that I was Swati.I came out of that room and rushed to Damini's room. I was really angry and was trying to control my anger.I wanted to slap him again and again for what he did to me. But I respect his parents and I also promised Sagar Ji, that I will do what he suggested.Damini asked me what happened and I told her. She tried to make me comfortable, but I was just too angry with him." It's ok Manu... Calm down, you slapped him. Right? And he said sorry... "" It is not about what he did today...you know it.. "" I know dear.. but please calm down. Get ready we all are going out for the dinner. "" I don't want to go anywhere please.. you carry on. "
Manyata's POVWe came back after dinner. I was alone in the room as Swati was with aunty and her brothers. I didn't want to intrude on them, so I came back to my room. I checked my phone again and saw a message from a model. She wanted to go get her younger sister's portfolio done by me.I told her that I was in Chandigarh and would come in a month. if she wanted it sooner, she could get it done by someone else.But she replied instantly that she would gladly wait for me.I always had a passion for photography. I used to click the pictures of various places and beautiful natural things like flowers, sunrise, sunsets, birds. Everyone used to praise my pictures and I sent them in many competitions and my pictures got prizes. They were well appreciated.I worked in an ad agency and quickly I gained recognition as a glamour photographer. Gradually people around me started to request me to click their portfolios. I started to take my
Sahil's POVWhy did she cry when Swati was talking about dad?? Why did she run away from the room?Mom and Sagar also went to their rooms." What happened to her? " I asked Swati" I don't know, maybe she missed her parents. " she looked a bit confused too." Then why she is staying away from them? " I asked." She is a photographer, she has an assignment to complete, she is supposed to click pictures of 5 beautiful places like this beautiful city and places around it. She would have to make a cover story on them. That's why she is staying here." She said." How did the two of you became friends? " I asked again." She was studying in Canada as well. " She said casually." Oh ok... I am really tired I must go and sleep now.. good night Sweetie.. "" Bhai, it is Swati.. you know that I don't like being called Sweetie. "" But you love sweets and I love calling you Sweetie. ""
Sahil's POVWe all walked towards the dining table for having breakfast. Mom came out of the kitchen wiping her hands." Mom, I am very hungry, what's in the breakfast? " I asked." Wait for two minutes... it's ready. "Swati and Manu also came out of the kitchen with lots of food. Samar was so happy all of a sudden. But he is a certified foodie.They placed all the things on the table. I checked, there were stuffed paranthas, sweet lassi, Upma and Shahi Zafrani sevaiyaan ( a sweet dish prepared with vermicelli flavoured with cardamom, saffron and dry fruits).My mood lifted up. I pulled a chair and sat down." Wow !! Aunty, It is a feast... Thank God I came here at this time and that I have not had my breakfast. " Samar said rubbing his hands." You should not go to the office without eating beta." Mom said." Aunty, my dad eats a very light breakfast. Just milk and cer
After 7 years....Sahil's POV" Sahil !!! No, you are not going with me. " Manu said." What nonsense... I am going. I will not let you go alone. "" I am not a child Sahil. "" Yes, that is the reason, I can't let you go alone. "" Ugghh... don't irritate me. You are too much. "" Yeah... baby, I am ten much. "" You always follow me everywhere. You even came to Paris last month. Don't you trust me? I can handle things on my own. "" Oh, c'mon... I trust you, darling, I just don't trust the men around you. Since you became show stopper for Mohit, 7 years ago, men have been following you like anything. I am just trying to protect, what is mine. What is wrong with that??? Yes, I came to Paris after you... because I didn't want any man to flirt with you. "" I hate you... " She said and I pulled her in my arms roughly and tighten my arms around her. She punched on my
Manyata's POV" I would love to share the chocolate with you, honey. " He said and before I could understand what he meant he bent his head and captured my mouth in a slow but demanding and sensuous kiss. He deepened his kiss and a moan came out of my throat.Now he was kissing me as if he wanted to eat me alive. He stopped only when we could not breathe anymore, he started trailing kisses from my forehead to my earlobe then the back of my ear and my neck then the base of my nape. Then he kissed my neck and shoulders.I was getting drowned more and more in his passion with every kiss. The beautiful and romantic ambience was also having affecting us.He helped me in removing the beautiful stole of my dress and all the accessories.Some kind of heat had started pooling in the pit of my stomach. My whole body started burning and the blood in my body seemed to be rushing with accelerated speed.He picked me up from the co
Sahil's POVMohit was saying something on the stage but I could not even pay heed to that. I kept looking at Manyata. But as people started clapping, I heard what he was saying." Ladies and gentlemen, all the dresses and attires are there in the catalogue given to you. You can order looking from there. But 15 of my best creations will be auctioned and the highest bidder will take the Outfit away. "After a few minutes, they all went inside another round of summer bridal collection started and models came and went away flaunting their dresses and then the time seemed to stop when my heartthrob came wearing a very light peach coloured lehenga.It was very nice, delicate and elegant just like one who was wearing it. She looked like a beautiful bride. My beautiful blushing bride.Again that tailor was Standing with her. I wanted to stand beside her. Everyone was clapping. Most of the people wanted to know about the model who was the show stoppe
Manyata's POVIt was almost a week since he went to Jodhpur, it seems that the problem was bigger than we anticipated.Swati had gone back to Canada and Sagar Ji and Damini went back to Chandigarh yesterday. I was missing everyone but most of all... my satan.He called me every day and that became my most favourite time of the day. I always looked forward to that call. He said that he was missing me and wanted to be with me as soon as possible.I wanted that too. I was missing him very much. I was kind of disoriented this whole week. I zoned out many a time. And I realised, I was thinking about him all the time. I realised that... I loved him.He said he did lots and lots of shopping for me. Shopping ?? Him ?? He hated going shopping. It showed how much he cared for me.I also planned to surprise him with something. I knew what would be a pleasant surprise for him. I smiled at that and was happy. I was sure that he would love it.
Sahil's POVI got up early in the morning to see that my beautiful wife was cuddling into me. I was holding her to bed with my arms around her. Her head was on my shoulder and my head was resting against hers.She was looking so pretty and childlike. Her long dark eyelashes were looking so pretty on her perfect face. Her lips were so soft and sweet.I had to get away from her as I still had some cold. I got up and went outside on the balcony. It was s a beautiful morning. The morning breeze was blowing gently caressing my skin.I was very happy, though my plan to punish manu had backfired... She was not as affected as I was. She was a bit shy but wore one of the night wears but I was going crazy with her in front of me in that.The problem was that I could not do what I was dying to, as I was not well. And could not even control the desire to make her mine forever. But the biggest problem was that I could not even take a cold sho
Sahil's POVI kept sneezing.What was happening??She turned to look at me and asked, " Are you all right?? " she asked with concern though she was very shy." Yeah, I am fine. " I said and sneezed again.My nose also started getting red and had already started running.Oh, God !! I was getting common cold? How?? Why??I started having a headache... I was going to be sick. But why now?? For God's sake, It was our wedding night...I kept sneezing and Manu looked very concerned now." Shall I make some tea for you with ginger in it? "" No, I am fine... " I said but my nose was red now. I have always hated catching a cold as I usually get severe headaches and I get irritated." No, you are not... Let me get some tea and medicine for you. How did you catch a cold all of a sudden? "" Let it be... It is very late and it's our wedding night
Sahil's POVI was dragged away by Sagar, Samar and Sujoy. They were not letting me go to my room.What a funny thing it was... She was living in my room for almost a week now. And now that we renewed our vows, they were not allowing me to go to my own room to be with my own wife." Oh please yaar, it was such a long day, I am so tired, let me go, I am feeling very sleepy. " I said and they all burst out laughing." What ?? What is so funny?? I am feeling sleepy. "" Oh, my sweet little brother is feeling sleepy? Come I will sing a lullaby for you. "" Shut up I am as old as you are. " I said and they laughed." Sleep here, as it is, Swati will not let you go to your room. " He said." Why ?? "" Good question... The girls and their stupid customs... You need to give her a good gift, then she will let you go... "" Hey, but I didn't know... Why didn't you tell me earlier? You arranged ever
Sahil's POVI wanted to take her away to our room and spend some quality time with my Manu. But mom called all the girls in her room and told us to stay away and just do preparation for pooja.What was that??I mean Manyata agreed in front of everyone that she would accept my love. I wanted to kiss her to my heart's content, but my family was not allowing me to do that.What was wrong with everyone?I wish I had kidnapped her just after I slid the ring in her finger. I wanted to give her another surprise, or I would rather call it a shock. I was getting restless now.Sagar smiled at me and asked me to go and wear something traditional. But I just wanted to be with my Manu.Sagar was asking pandit Ji if he wanted something else. He asked for some fruits and sweets.So he asked me to get fruits and sweets from the market." Ok, I will go with Manu. I will call her. " I said.
Sahil's POVI held her hand and was going inside. She was confused." Where are we going, Sahil? " She asked." Somewhere away from here... "" Why?? "" Do you want me to kiss you in front of everyone?? " I said and raised an eyebrow.Her jaw almost touched the floor." What?? Are you out of your mind? I am not going anywhere with you. "" Please honey, I want to hug and kiss you. You are looking so beautiful. Think of your poor husband. " we were inside the home now, while the party was outside." Sahil... You are too much. " She said and started going back to the party. I held her hand to persuade her to let me kiss her.Just then Mitali came towards us. I closed my eyes for a second, I didn't want her to say or do anything stupid. I already told her that I was not interested in her as I was in a relationship now.She smiled seductively and ran his hand on
