*Rohan Pov* I stood still for a few seconds before kissing her back, pulling her to me even more making sure that there is not any distance between us. When I held her face in my hands, I felt her tears, which didn’t stop from flowing from the time I came here. Without releasing her, I started brushing them away and tugged her to me even more, which is completely impossible because of which we kind of stumbled back making us stop the kissing. She slowly released me, and I followed her suit having no idea what she will do next. I thought she would step back completely, but she just stood there and pressed her forehead to mine. We both gazed at each other with heavy breathing, but didn’t utter a single word. I glanced around a little to see the pictures of Swetha and mine. If she asks me why Swetha looks like her, then I would say how can I know. I will say it little rudely after which she will stop asking me about it and then will be even more rude making her to divert from this
#PAST#*Satvi Pov* How can you fail to bring the gift you bought last month for him to his birthday party? I scolded myself by hitting the steering wheel. Now I must be pretty late, and everyone must have reached there. I should have been there and invite them inside and look after everything. Nevertheless, I am stuck here in this stupid traffic. I glanced at my phone and immediately called Leela hoping that she will stop him from cutting the cake. Otherwise, my proposal will be played without my presence, and I am sure that will be the worst scenario. “Hello?” I said when she lifted my call, but I can hear a few laughs in the background. We only invited his family members, and our mutual friends right then why is there that much disturbance. I just hope all the arrangements are sufficient no matter how many people attend it. That Karthik will not help me with this if there is any problem as he dislikes these parties and this being his birthday party is not going to solve anythi
*Satvi Pov* What have I done? I thought, pacing around the room which I have been doing for the past few hours. I glanced at the clock to see that it is already nine o'clock, but I hope he is awake. I think yesterday is not my day at all. Everything just went wrong and to top that I behaved like I know this man for a long time. I know I have to show my face to him and leave the house, but I am feeling so awkward even thinking about the way I talked to him. And to top off that Dad must be worried about me as I didn’t even inform him about my disappearance even in the night at home. But I really don’t want to go home right now, and I can’t stay here too. I took a deep breath and opened the door only to hear the sounds coming from the kitchen. Looks like he is awake, and this will give me a chance to express my gratitude and just leave from here taking my bag and phone. Nonetheless, when I started walking inside the kitchen, I felt a presence behind me and turned to see him actuall
*Rohan Pov* “Sir!” I heard an impatient voice making me move my gaze away from the mobile which should have got the message by now like from the past one month. “Yes?” I asked my assistant frowning, but again stole a glance at the mobile. “You have a meeting to attend, Sir.” She replied smiling at me. “Ok!” I mumbled before looking at the mobile. I sighed, getting up and decided to finish the meeting, but stopped when I heard a sound from my mobile. I smiled at it and calmly said, “Wait outside for five minutes.” ‘Good morning, Mr.Choksi!’ I mumbled reading her message and shook my head. ‘Good morning, Swetha.’ I typed back and sent it. ‘That is a fast reply. Don’t you have any work today, Mr.Choksi?’ she immediately replied. ‘There is lots of work, but I am not in the work mood. What about you?’ I asked her and waited for the reply. After she called me informing about her new number, I sent a morning greeting the very next day after contemplating for a few hours. I am not
*Satvi Pov* “Don’t worry, Dad! We both will help with everything.” Vani and I assured him like we did for the past one week. “You know we should take some vacation after today’s marriage.” Vani mumbled when we started walking towards the stage to see the arrangements. “Tell me about it. How about we both go to some beach?” I asked turning towards her. “Di! You are still mad about oceans?” She asked, completely surprised. “I guess I will be until I see one. I mean I am twenty one, but still didn’t step out of the Lucknow.” I replied sighing. “I am going to be twenty one, but stepped out of the village only to come to your house and college.” She said, and I chuckled shaking my head. “Alert! Someone whose name we should not take is coming towards here.” She whispered. “What he is doing here when he has to actually get ready?” I asked her, and she shrugged before walking away to help her parents. “Satvi!” he called standing beside me. “What is it, Karthik?” I asked him checking
*Satvi Pov* “What do you mean they will stay here, Dad?” I asked him frowning not understanding his words. “Satvi! Karthik is working for me, and even Leela will join the company. They can’t come to work from the long-distance everyday right? I mean they just got married and still young, so we have to give all the support to them right?” he asked worriedly. “I am not older than him, Dad. He is older to me and do what you think is right.” I replied, getting up from the table and walked towards my room. “Hello?” he immediately lifted the call when I called him. “Are you busy?” I asked him, frowning hoping that he is not. “What happened?” He asked, and I heard the papers shuffling. “I... will call later if you are busy.” I replied scolding myself for calling him at this time. “No! I am not busy.” He said, and I glanced at the clock to see that it is one o'clock. “Did you have your lunch?” I asked him frowning. “Uhmm... No!” He replied, and I sighed before getting up from the be
*Satvi Pov* “Where are we going?” I asked him getting in his car and saw that Karthik is closing the door. “Somewhere to celebrate as your Dad accepted for our marriage today.” He replied, smiling and I smiled back but felt something is missing. “I don’t know why he accepted it so soon. I mean he doesn’t know you right, then how did he.” I said my doubts out loud. “Maybe he thought we were great together.” Rohan said, taking out his mobile hearing a call. “He stopped taking any decision in our life after Mom died, but this is too much. He gave freedom to two of us, and I can understand part of it, but not all this.” I mumbled sighing. “Don’t think much about that, Swetha.” He said giving me a small smile and lifted his phone. “Oh ok! I will see what I can do.” He said hanging up. “What happened?” I asked him frowning. “I have some important meeting this evening I guess.” He replied apologetically. “Hey! What is there to feel guilty? We will go some other time.” I said, smili
*Satvi Pov* “Are you ready for your surprise, Mrs.Swetha Choksi?” Rohan asked, stopping at an unknown place which I don’t know as my eyes is covered with some cloth. “Take your time but you said my wrong name.” I replied smiling remembering what he said to his Mother. “I already told you right that you are my Swetha.” He said, and I know he must be shaking his head. “But you gave me another name when your Mother asked why is everyone calling me Satvi at the wedding right?” I asked him raising my eyebrow, and I hope he can see it. “Oh yes! I told her that Satvi is your middle name, and she believed it as we didn’t keep any board with our names as it is for close families only.” He replied, and I nodded hearing his words. “What would have happened if anyone from your side knows I 'm actually Satvi? It is not a big deal.” I said shrugging. “Let’s leave the matter about it and like you said it is not a big deal as we don’t know we can even meet those people again except your family
