My Brother's Bride Chapter 19
Avni's POV I had to say something to end this awkward silence. " The kids are so excited to see you, they miss you when you are not around. " " Hmmm, and what about you? Did you miss me too? Are you happy and excited to see me as well?? " He asked all of a sudden. I didn't know what to say. " I was just saying that it would be better if you could spend more time here in Ranikhet, kids really need to be around you. " I tried to find something to say that was safe to say." That is not possible... I have to work and travel a lot. But I promise I will try to come for a longer period. " He said and I nodded politely. Mrs Ghomes served the brunch as it was a bit late for breakfast. We enjoyed it with gusto as I was very hungry after the ride, and so was he after riding and walking all the way back. " Mrs Ghomes is such a fabulous cook... I am being a glutton. " I said, and he smiled and nodded, saying that he felt the same. " Mrs Ghomes, can you please pack a lunch for the kids sin

Avni's POVI was shocked to see that I shared all that with him. " Hmmm, then what happened?? " Robert asked. " One day, my sister had gone to her dance classes, and my father asked my mom for money. My mom refused to give him money and he lost his temper. I heard them shouting at each other. I knew my parents were having another fierce verbal battle about money and I ran upstairs. I saw..." I could not say anything more" That it wasn't just verbal?? He asked gently. I just nodded. " I saw that he was beating her... I tried to stop him and... " Oh, God !! I was telling him everything.But why?? I just couldn't stop myself. " Oh, I am so sorry... It must have been very terrible for you. " He said, clenching his jaw but holding my hand very gently. " I pushed him with full might, he stumbled and fell. I was standing between them. He got angry and slapped me so hard that I fell on the floor. But that act of mine made my mom realize that she didn't want to tolerate his behavior.

Rob's POV " Please tell me... " I asked her looking into her eyes. " I don't want to talk about it. Please !! " She looked away." Why?? " I asked. " Why this sudden interest?? " She questioned me back. " I need to know... What is the problem?? It has been almost a year since he has gone... So why can't we talk about him?? " " Because I don't want to talk about it. " She said firmly. " Listen, Avni... " " Uncle, this place is so good... Can we come here again ?? " Lara said. She came and hugged me as she was tired by now." Of course, we can, baby... Are you tired now?? " I asked, and she nodded and placed her head on Avni's lap; she patted her. I called Bill but he was a bit reluctant to go home. " It was a beautiful day, I don't want it to end... " Bill said pouting at me. " Who is saying that the day is finished?? No !! It hasn't finished as yet... we are just going home because Lara is very tired and so are we, but we are going to enjoy this beautiful day to the full

Avni's POVHe said that he liked me, I was stunned to know that. I already had a pang of guilt regarding my wedding with John. Robert was asking me about my feelings for John. How could I tell him?? It was complicated. I didn't know, what to say to him. I had already told him about Dad, but I didn't even tell my sister. But I couldn't tell him about my relationship with John. Robert said he liked me... But this feeling would jump out of the window when he would come to know about my relationship with John.He said " Avni?? I just told you my feelings... I would not force you to feel the same way for me. " " It is getting late, Robert, and I am very tired, so I think I should call it a night. Good night. " I said and went to my room. While he kept standing there. I changed into my nightwear, buried my face in my pillow, and cried a lot... *******The warm morning sun rays were coming into my room and illuminated it. I opened my eyes and realized that despite my mood, I slept very

Avni's POV Now they were going on a rollercoaster ride, I decided to avoid it but Lara started crying that she would go with me. I went with them to sit with Lara. Bill and Lara sat together leaving me to share my seat with Robert. " Hey, Lara you wanted to sit with me, come. " I said as I had come only because she started crying. " I am not scared of the ride Aunt Avni, you are. So you can sit with your uncle. You can hold him. " Lara said innocently. My cheeks gained a bit of colour and Robert looked amused.I didn't want to go and sit with him but I didn't want to create a scene. So I sat beside him. Just then, the operator came and said, " I am sorry, sir, I was not here when you entered, but the kids are too young to go on this ride. " The kids became disappointed. But Robert nodded, and I got up, asking the kids to come out. As we could not leave the kids and go for a ride. But the operator asked me to be seated assuring us that he would keep an eye on the kids. I was no

Avni's POV" I want you to come downstairs for dinner at 8 o'clock sharp, and if you don't come, I will personally come and get you. " He said in a very serious but firm voice. What the hell ?? How dare he threaten me like that? What does he think of himself??" No, I don't want any dinner. " " But we still need to talk about us. " " There is no us. " I said. " I feel the connection since the day I saw you for the first time. " He said.How is that possible?? He saw me for the first time, the day John met that accident. Did he feel something for me at that time?? " Nevertheless, I don't want to be passed from one brother to another like some toy you feel like playing with. " I said in a fit of anger. " Are you even listening to what you are saying?? " He said looking at me with a shocked expression. Even I was shocked at what I said. I just got panicked as he was hell-bent to talk about my relationship with John and I was not ready to do it. " I don't know... Please leave

Avni's POV I was going to make a tea for myself so I asked if he would like to have and he nodded. He was looking in the refrigerator for something to eat. " What are you looking for?? " " Mrs Ghomes made dinner but we didn't eat it. I am very hungry. So looking for something to eat, it must be here. " " Wait I would take it out and heat it again. " I said and he nodded. I saw stew and dumplings and apple pie. We all were too full yesterday so we told her to make something simple. I served them hot with hot ginger. We both were hungry, so we had to do it. " Avni, we have to be very careful around kids. They are very sensitive and vulnerable right now. We must always keep in mind. " " Yeah, she must have felt bad to have a bad dream. " I said. " They have seen their parents fighting like anything, so maybe she associated our discussion with that. " He said and I nodded. " The discussion is not over yet. I have some important work, hence I need to go... Will you be able to

Robert's POV All of a sudden Tina leaned more into me and placed her lips on my neck just below my ear. What the hell?? I got up with lightning speed and moved away from her. " What are you doing?? " I asked glaring at her. " I was trying to make you feel more comfortable. I can ease all kinds of pain. Give me a chance. " She said looking at me with a seductive smile. I was disgusted with the way she was looking at me with that cheap smile and lustful eyes." What nonsense?? How dare you?? " I shouted at her. " Oh, I am sorry... I could not control my emotions. " She said changing her way of talking all of a sudden. " What do you mean?? " " Actually, I have always had a huge crush on you since we met for my interview. " She said shyly. How can someone change so much in less than a minute? " What?? Are you out of your mind? " " I am telling you the truth. I had a crush at first sight. You were exactly like the man of my dreams... And over the period, I fell for you. I r

Avni's POV He snapped his fingers in front of my face and I realized that I had gone down memory lane. " Where do you go when you look like this?? " Robert probed softly. " Nothing... I can't have feelings for... " I was saying but he didn't even let me finish. " I know you feel as if you would betray John if you have feelings for anyone else. But even he would not want you to live your life like this. You are only 23 years old. You can't spend your life like this. " He said rather sweetly. " We don't love each other. " I said. " Talk about yourself, not me. " He said curtly." Robert... Please try to understand." I pleaded. " Make me... Convince me, and I will convince you that my feelings are genuine. " Oh, God!! This man was too good and persistent. How would I stop him from making a place in my heart like that??But I had to... Because he will hate me when he comes to know everything. " There is no use when there will be no future in a relationship. " I said. " But I

Avni's POV I just wanted the movie to get over soon. I excused myself but he caught my hand. " Sit with us. " He insisted. " I am having a slight headache so I need to go. " I said. " Aunt Avni, are you still mad at my uncle?? Are you both going to fight?" Lara asked. She looked sad all of a sudden." No baby!! I am not angry with him or anyone. We are not going to fight. We are family. " I caressed her face and said with a sweet smile. " But mom and dad were also family.", Bill said. " No, baby I have just a little headache. So I want to rest. Don't worry. " I said with an assuring smile at the children and left the room but Robert came after me. " Are you ok?? Shall I call a doctor?" He asked me. " No, it's just a headache. " I said and he came very close to me and touched my forehead and cheeks with his big hand. Why does he keep touching me? Can't he keep his hands to himself? I took a step back immediately. He looked at me with a calm expression and then took a deep br

Avni's POV I went to the kid's room. Mrs Ghomes was trying to get their attention but both Bill and Lara were sad. " Mrs Ghomes, what have you prepared for breakfast?? " I asked her. " Their favorite sandwich and French toast," she told me. " Wow!!! Do you mind making some caramel popcorn and some French fries? " " No, not at all. What will you do?? Do you want me to serve your breakfast along with them? " She asked. " No, I am not hungry. I am planning to do a movie marathon. " I replied." What is that?? " she asked me. " Watching movies back to back. My sister and I used to watch movies like that. Harry Potter movies were our favorite, so we used to binge-watch them with lots of popcorn... and French fries... and chips, " I told her about one of my childhood memories." Can we also see??

Avni's POVThough his back was towards me, I was sure that he was a stranger. I had never seen him before. It was kind of strange. I ran towards them to cover the distance. " Hello !! I am sorry sir, but I am in charge of the kids. So may I know your name?? " " What do you mean that you are in charge of them?? " He said, lowering Lara to the ground. Bill and Lara got busy opening gifts that were in the bag. " I am their governess. " " Oh, Governess?? So that is how Robert is taking care of them. Just by hiring a woman as a governess does he think that his responsibilities are over?? Where were you till now?? How dare you leave them alone like this?? " " Sir, Please mind your language. They are absolutely safe in this house. The kids are playing in the garden and I am keeping an eye on them from a distance. You don't have the right to teach me my job, sir.

Robert's POV I was surprised to hear that. Who could come to visit her? I asked who had come to meet her and found out that it was her husband. I was shocked beyond the limit and ran inside, where we met visitors. I saw him there with my sister. My blood started to boil and I almost ran there. How dare he come here to meet after everything he did or said to her? He was responsible for her condition. I wanted to kill him. I reached there and stood by her. She looked distressed, I placed my arm around her shoulder. Mike was a bit shocked to see me. He was shocked. " Oh, hello Robert. How are you?? " He asked with fake confidence. " Why are you here?? " I asked him while I was trying not to punch him. " I am under no obligation to answer anything to you. I am still married to her and I don't need your permission to meet my wife.

Robert's POV " Oh thank God!!! I had left every hope that I would ever hear you say that. Who is the girl?? Did you propose to her? " I could hear her excitement over the phone. " Mom, it is not that easy, I told you, it is complicated... " " What are the complications? " " I like her and want her in my life but she doesn't want that," I told her. " Why?? You are tall, fair, handsome, rich, successful, highly educated, and above all, you are such a good human being. Which girl in her right frame of mind would not want you?
