Siddharth's POV" So what are your feelings for her? " Maurvi asked me." I don't know... I am not sure... "" Then first of all, you be sure about it and then evaluate your feelings many times before saying anything to her. It might not be your fault that she thought that...

You can't just fool around or flirt with everyone. I am sorry Siddharth, but you need to change a bit. I know that you are a gem of a person and you don't have anything bad in your mind. That's why I never took offence to your flirting as I knew you were just fooling around. No girl would ever take you seriously, if you keep doing that.

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.

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.

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.

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??
