Shruti's POVI turned to see Siddharth, he removed his hand from my mouth but was still pulling me away from everyone." What the hell do you think you are doing?

" He said.I was touched by what he said." Ok, say whatever you want. " I said." Thanks a lot... It was not the way it looked like. Do you remember the day, when I asked you to come out for coffee for the first time? "" Hmmm, I do... "" My friends knew that I liked you. So they insisted to me that I must ask you out and pushed me in your way. I asked you but you... said all that. My friends were nearby and they heard it. They were annoyed at what you said because I was not like that and they said that you should not have said all those things. I gave them reason .......... " And he told me everything that happened that day." But wh

Shruti's POVHe pulled me in his arms and tightened an arm around me and caught my hand closer to his face. He was seriously looking for his name?? Why was he doing it?My back almost touched his hard abs and chest and I was getting a tingling sensation where our bodies touched. I was getting conscious of it but somehow I felt that I liked it too." Yeah got it !! "" What nonsense?? "" It definitely makes sense as you are mine and I am yours. See ' S ' and 'J'."" This is just a Heena design. Not your initials. "" These are my initials, I requested the Heena artist to make them on your hand. So why should I leave your hand when my name is written on it?" He was still holding me in his arms and he even tightened them around me. He brought my hand near his lips and kissed it." This is not fair... How can you do that? We are not together and not... "" Till now, angry bird, only till now. Soon you will be mine. Only mine. " He said and somehow I didn't get angry.Was I getting soft o

I felt really good but had to wake her up so I patted her on her arm.She woke up after my third attempt and as soon as she realised that she was leaning against me, she got away with a jerk." Oh, I am so sorry. "" For what?? Leaning against me?? I want you to be in my life forever. I don't mind, even if you lean on me for the rest of our lives. I had to wake you up as it is lunchtime and we have to go and eat. " I said and she looked into my eyes as if she wanted to reach my soul." Where are they? "" Gone inside to order food after waking me up. "" Oh, ok... Let's go. " She said. Her cheeks had started getting pink. We both went inside and joined them.They both were smiling and Shruti was blushing. I had not seen her blushing many times, so it was a treat for my eyes.

Shruti's POVI went looking for him and saw her standing leaning to his car. Bhaiya went back inside after passing a sweet smile to me.Siddharth looked upset... I went to him and looked at him. He was calm but still hurt." I didn't mean to hurt you, I am sorry. But you have to understand my point of view as well. Just because you cleared that misunderstanding, it doesn't mean that I would develop feelings for you. "" You don't need to say sorry, I was wrong. I took your feelings for granted. I am sorry for reacting like that. "" Siddharth, so many things have happened since then. We just can't start from where we stopped. "" Hmm of course. Don't worry, I am fine.

I had already done the packing for going back to Chandigarh.Siddharth told me that he intended to leave after the brunch as there were still many guests and cousins at his place.I was not sure that I should go with him or not... But it was better to go with him than going alone by bus or train as dad was too busy to go and drop me and as it is, I was old enough to manage things on my own.But my stupid soul was pleading with me to go with him. Even my parents wanted me to go with Maurvi. Only if they knew...I didn't want to tell lies, but if I had told them, they would not let me go at all.

Avni's POV " How can I let you go alone on the very first morning after all you are family. " He said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. Was he offended?? Or was he making fun of me?? " I am sorry for the way I behaved yesterday. " I said to him. " Not at all... in fact, I was thinking of calling your dad. " He said all of a sudden and it seemed as if someone had robbed me of my breaths. " What?? No !! Why?? " I almost said too quickly and in a very harsh tone. He was a bit surprised at my sudden reaction. " Just the basic courtesy call, thanking him for letting you come and assuring him that you would not have any problem here as you are a part of my family only." He replied to me very calmly. I was shocked at what he was planning to do. " No !!!! " I said quite forcefully. N" What happened?? " He asked me. My reaction made him suspicious. " Please don't do that... " I almost pleaded with him. " Your reaction was a little too much. Are you scared of something or someo

Avni's POVI helped them to get changed into nightwear and told them a sweet fable.It was almost 15 minutes when I joined him. He was having a drink and smiled at me and asked me my preference. " Thanks, but I do not drink. " " What?? Seriously?? Never?? " He was surprised and I nodded with a smile. " I just had once or twice with John but didn't like it. "He finished the drink and asked me to come with him. We walked side by in the open area. I don't know why but it felt really good. I wanted to keep walking with him. We reached the place where I had left my car. But it was nowhere to be seen now. " My car was parked here, right?? " I asked out of curiosity." I had it garaged for you. I will show you around in the morning. " He said and I nodded." You must be a very good driver since you came here driving all by yourself. Have you been driving for long?

He opened the door of a room and stood back, allowing me to enter the room first. It was very nice, somehow I had this feeling that I would be treated as a member of the family and not like some casual governess. This room proved my point. It was very big and beautiful. My breath was caught at the beauty of it. It had more antique furniture in the shape of wardrobes, chest of drawers and dressing tables, completed with the four-poster bed draped in cream velvet with coffee coloured hand embroidered tie backs with matched curtains at the windows. " Oh, my God !! This room is lovely. " " I thought you would be comfortable in this room as it has a view of the front garden. Did you like it? " " It is awesome!! Beautiful !! Thanks a lot. " I said with a smile. " I am glad you liked it, I just wish that you get very happy here. I wanted you to be very comfortable. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything else. " He said and I was really touched by the way he talked. H

I didn't know... But didn't care at the moment. I just kept driving carefully. After driving for about 3 hours, I finally reached Ranikhet.I took a deep breath and parking the car in the market parking lot, I went into a coffee house and ordered a coffee and a fruit muffin. And then following his very precise landmark locations and directions, I finally reached his farmhouse. I pulled up outside his home. It looked huge and beautiful. It was a mansion. It had a very English type of structure. I got out of the car and stood in front of the two-storeyed, white building with lots of windows. There was a lot of pine trees lined up around the boundaries of the property. The place looked beautiful with lush green grass lawns. Just then the main door of the house opened and Robert came with a butler following him. " Avni! I am glad you are here. Welcome to my home !! " He said. He looked very good in dark-coloured trousers and a light coloured sweater. I saw him coming towards me.

Avni's POVRobert's offer was very good. Even Avanti said, that it was high time that our father starts to pay for a housekeeper. I served dinner for my dad. He ate it without saying a word or even looking at me. I used to get hurt by his behaviour earlier but then got used to it. I was quite overworked now as I was doing all the work also Avanti was not here any more. I told my dad to hire a maid or housekeeper but he said he was not used to anyone else working at home. Avanti was right, the offer given by Robert Taylor looked like a lifeline. I need to get away from my domineering father. I wanted to go to Ranikhet. Suddenly it all seemed possible... Our father had to take care of himself and he could always hire a housekeeper to keep his house. I decided that I would take the offer and would go to Ranikhet to take care of the kids. I took a deep breath and thought of calling him back to tell him about my decision. Just then the phone started ringing, I pick up the phone an

Avni's POVI cleared my throat and when they still didn't realise that I was standing there, I thought to go away. I could not disturb them.I was so embarrassed by the fact that I saw them making out. She was my elder sister for god's sake. I wanted to talk to her very desperately as she was the only one, who could guide me well. But It could wait... I could not disturb their special moments. They got married only last month. I would come back after some time or tomorrow. I rushed outside as I wanted to get out of her house as soon as possible, but I accidentally hit on the decorative pot near the door. It fell down and made a loud sound. I tried to pick it up and keep it properly. Avanti came to see what was that sound, after a minute. Her face looked very flushed and her lips were swollen. I didn't want to disturb them but I already did that. So I smiled awkwardly and greeted her. " Hi !! Good evening... " " Hi, good evening, Avni. How are you?? How was your day?? " She

Avni's POV " Then don't you think it is high time that you just start doing it again?? " He said and I really felt very annoyed.Who was he to say that? I didn't like his interference. I was astonished that I was quite angry with him because I had thought that I was not able to feel anything anymore. But he was not wrong... Even my recent thoughts and feelings on the subject had been almost similar only just last week, I had started to wonder if I should start going to riding club again. My anger died out...Even Avanti, my sister, was pushing me to do that. Maybe my sister and this gentleman were right. I must go there. I think, I must make an effort... And this was the right time. " Umm... Do you really want to see the place, where John worked and we both met for the first time?? " I asked him and he smiled and nodded. He was looking at me with his beautiful blue eyes. John had blue eyes too. But this one had many shades of blue. They were drawing me towards their depth just l

Avni's POV" Do you have a child?? " He asked." No !! No !! " I denied sharply... Crimson colour straining my usually pale cheeks. I turned my head away from him. " No, I am not. " I said but this time my voice was more like a whisper. Oh, how I had wished, that I was pregnant. But I was not... A lone tear escaped my eyes." Forgive me please, I am sorry, I ask that. Please, don't be distressed. " He didn't appear shocked but was embarrassed that he asked that question from me and made me upset. " No, it's ok... Anyone might have assumed that. It was natural... I suppose. " " You like kids, don't you?? " He asked with a smile. " Yes, I do... They are so sweet and pure at heart. " I smiled back. " I guessed as much, that's why you are working here. Isn't it?? " He asked and I nodded.It was really easy to talk to him. I kind of liked talking to him. His eyes shone up a bit. But why??
