Shruti's POV" Please stop all this drama... This is a hospital for God's sake. "" Shruti, go home right now ! " Nihal shouted at me." Shruti, you don't have to be scared of him. If he bothers you, just give me a call, I will break all his limbs if he ever thinks about touching you. " Sid said." Shruti, go home!!! If you ever talk to him again, I will never talk to you. Nihal take her home. " Papa shouted at me.I looked at Siddharth, he wanted to protest but I shook my head.Nihal caught my hand and went out of the hospital. I didn't want any drama here in the hospital so I went with him." Don't even think of hurting her or you will regret that you were born as her brother. " Siddharth shouted after us.*****Siddharth's POVThe rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene.It was a beautiful morning. I was with Shubh for the whole time. We all enjoyed the ceremonies that were going on. It was time for them to get married.Everyo
Shruti's POVCome with me, we need to talk. " He was still pulling me." That can wait, Siddharth. What if, he comes back? " I tried to stop him.He groaned, picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and went in through the main door." What are you doing ??? " I asked but he didn't bother to answer.He took me to that same room.What was that??" Don't worry... He won't come!! "" How can you be so sure about it? "" Because he is standing right in front of you. I kidnapped you. " He said looking into my eyes." What?? Are you crazy ?? " I asked him." Yes!! Yes, I am going crazy... I get crazy when I see you every day and still can't talk to you, can't pull you in my arms and can't kiss you. I am going crazy without you. I know that you love me yet you are avoiding me. It makes me go crazy. So today, you are going to treat this crazy patient. "" Sid... " I was saying when all of a sudden he pushed me to the wall and then picked me and made me sit on a high chest of drawers.And b
Shruti's POV" Then it is all the more reason to get married right now. He would not be able to manipulate your dad into getting you married to his friend. " Maurvi said." I agree, but if I marry like this, Papa would disown me he already threatened me that day when he sent me home with Nihal. And Nihal will get a chance to fuel the fire. " I said." Wait, I will break all the bones in his body. " Bhaiya said." Seriously Gautam?? I sometimes forget that you are a doctor. You should think about treating patients not increase patients for orthopaedic doctors. " Maurvi said rolling her eyes. Vikram Bhai burst out laughing and clapping." Too good, Maurvi... I really love you for your smart comebacks. "" Sandhya, tell your husband not to flirt with my wife. "" Why?? You flirted so many times with mine and as it is I was not flirting, you idiot. "" Can we concentrate on the point? " Maurvi said." Yes, please?? " Sid said.Siddharth's POVShe told us the problems she was facing. I was
Siddharth's POV" Shruti, please slap him again. I loved it. Wait... Maurvi, can you please arrange some popcorn and drinks?? We will have a repeat telecast of that. I was enjoying it so much. " Bhai said." Bhai, I hate you. " I said." I don't care... Shruti you can beat him whenever you want. He is all yours. I will lend you my boxing gloves. " Bhai said and hugged her while laughing.The atmosphere had changed dramatically... Everyone was so happy." Ok, come we will get you ready. " Maurvi said and took her away." We must see to all the arrangements... Come Vikram. " Bhai said." Yes !! Call your friends, Sid !! They might be still there at our Haveli only." Vikram said." Parth and other friends can't come here but will call Sahil and Samar if they have not left already. Shubh has gone for honeymoon and I can't disturb them or Vidhi will kill me before my honeymoon. " I said with a smile." Yeah !! You are right... Poor Shubh!! He turns red whenever Vidhi says anything. "
Shruti's POVI went near him and he kept smiling. Maurvi and Sandhya gave us flower garlands and when I tried to put it over his head, his friends pulled him back.I tried twice but then I said, " Oh, it is ok with me if you have changed your mind. We can get married later on. " I turned to go back but he pulled me back and bent his head. " No !! Do it now. " He said and I did it. Everyone laughed.When he was about to make me wear the garland, Vikram bhaiya and Parth picked me up. I laughed at the expression on his face." Parth !! Put her down!! You are on my side. " He said." But you both are on the same side now. " Sahil Ji said and Parth nodded." Bhai, Sahil, Samar will you let me down?? " He asked and they all picked him up and finally we exchanged the garlands. Siddharth's parents were on a video call and everything was being recorded.We were doing all rituals and it was time for Kanyadaan and tears started flowing from my eyes. I should not be getting married without my par
Siddharth's POV" I know you love me and I could wait for you to solve all your problems and then start our new life. I did that to save you from all the problems. "" How?? Do you even have an idea, how my father is going to react? He would disown me and Nihal will use this opportunity to convince my dad to agree to everything he says. "" No, Bhai has already given the details of three of them to Gupta uncle. He is getting them investigated right now. We will have their character certificates in our hands by tomorrow. We will show them to your dad. "" He would not even let us enter the home. "" But now Nihal and his friend can't even think of getting married to you. We are married and hence they can't force you. We can help your sister as well. Don't worry, my family will talk to your father. Trust me everything will be fine very soon. "" Hmmm ... I hope so. "" I know so... Now stop all this sad conversation and show me your beautiful smile. " I said and she smiled slowly." A l
Shruti's POV I thought to wake him up as I didn't want everyone to tease us again. So I shook him a bit but was shocked when the very next moment he pulled me and I fell on him. " Good morning, love. " " Good morning, leave me!! " " No way, I didn't marry you to leave you. " " Siddharth let me go !! It does not look good. " I said. " Awwww from where I am looking, everything is looking good. " " What??" I asked but he kept grinning so I followed his line of vision. He was looking at my bathrobe which had loosened and opened a bit. I saw the way he was ogling me. " Oh, God !! You have become a pervert all of a sudden. " " Pervert?? you can't call me that? I am just looking at what is on display, as it is, I already saw everything last night and even that day. " He was smiling sensuously. " You are too bad... Leave me. " " I am bad? Why? What is wrong with it?? After all, we are married now, I am looking at what is mine, get used to it. " " Ok, get ready and find me a dress.
Shruti's POVThe home was decorated with flowers and lights. His mom rushed towards me. I bent to touch her feet but before I could do that, she hugged me.Maurvi and Aunty made us enter the home in the whole traditional way.I was pleasantly surprised to see that they all welcomed me with open arms and hearts.When Siddharth came to hug her she pulled his ear for pulling the stunt and marrying without his parents.Uncle came and hugged me too. When I tried touching his feet he shook his head and said, " Please don't do this beta... "I was surprised but then he smiled at me and said, " Confused ?? Let me explain... First of all, I believe that it is better if your kids love and respect you for what you are not just because you are their parents. Respect should not be shown just publically. Respect should be there in our hearts, eyes and manners. So there is no need to touch my feet. " I just smiled and nodded." What are the other reasons, dad? " I asked." There are a few more like
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? "" Ever since I became 18 years old. " " Thanks for this, I got my answer. " He said and laughed. " Oh, I am sorry th
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?? " I wonder ... and I hope you won't mind my asking... if you could help me ?? " He
Avni's POV I was working in the kitchen making breakfast and lunch for me and my dad. The wall clock struck 7 times. Oh, God!! I was going to be late. So, I finished all the work at full speed and got ready in time. Finally, I reached the school and went to my class. The lovely kids saw me and they all smiled and greeted me.One of the little girls who was very attached to me came to me and gave me a wildflower and a paper with a drawing on it. She gave them to me and wished me a good morning, " Ma'am, I got a flower and a card for you. You are my... best teacher. " She grinned " Awww ... thanks, sweetheart. But you should say a favourite teacher. "" Fav... favour... Best teacher. " I picked her up holding her close to my heart. She gave me a beautiful smile. It was so good to see such cute and sweet faces every day in the mornings. Their beautiful smiles gave me the strength to fight all odds in my life. I taught a new nursery rhyme to my class and then made them prac
