Shubh's POV
She was so angry with me that she was not even ready to listen to me. I kissed her to calm her a bit. I loved every single second of that kiss we shared.
But just then we heard the main door of the house getting opened. I released her immediately and we made ourself a bit more presentable by smoothing out our hair with hands.
Uncle came out and saw us.
" Arre Vidhi and Shubh?? What are you doing here?? I mean... why are you Standing here? You should have got him inside. "
" It's ok uncle, I just came... I... I wanted to her see her... B..books... yeah books, as one of my friend, has a younger sister who wants to join the same course. "
" Oh, ok... Come inside. " He said and I started going inside along with him. I discreetly held her soft hand in mine.
I sat down and she said she would get them. I was too embarrassed and ashamed at myself for telling lies. I had never done that before and I liked and respected him which was making me feel more guilty.
Just then my phone buzzed. It was Vikram Ji, so I picked up the call.
" Hello, Vikram Ji... "
" Hey shubh, how are you? Are you free right now? "
" Yeah... I am at your haveli right now. "
" Oh great !!! So when will you be back Shubh? "
" In about 3-4 days... "
" Great !!! Awesome !! That would be perfect. "
" What would be perfect?? "
" Actually, we want you to bring Vidhi back with you to Delhi. "
" What?? But she just came here with me." I was shocked though was very happy about it.
" Something has come up, we need her here. "
" Ok, I will bring her back to Delhi with me. " I said looking at her as she was back with her books. She smiled instantly.
" Shubh, I want you to keep a day free for me, as soon as you come here. Tell me when can you do it?? "
" Any day for you. Just tell me the day and time. I wanted to meet you too. "
" Great !!! I will consult Sagar and let you know... "
" What ?? No... Wait... Vikram Ji... I can't meet your friend. "
" Ok, don't meet him, you have already met him and Sahil, but you have to meet Swati. Because she is going to Canada after 6 days. "
" But... I don't want to meet her... " Looked at Vidhi. She was trying to guess what we were talking about.
" Oh, c'mon Shubh, stop getting stubborn. I also didn't want to get married, but see I am so happy now. "
" But I am too young to get married. "
" No, you are not... And as it is Swati is also studying. She would be able to marry only next year. Fine now?? Now let me fix the day. "
" But I don't even know her... "
" So that's why we want you to meet her. "
" Please try and understand I can't... "
" Make me understand... Give me one valid reason and I won't force you. C'mon Shubh, he is my best friend, I can't refuse him. At least meet her once, she is a very sweet girl. "
I don't like sweets... And even if I did, from now I hate anything sweet.
" Shubh?? What are you thinking?? "
" I like spicy more... "
" What ?? " He asked me laughing.
Shit!!! Get grip on yourself, you idiot.
" I mean... Can't you tell them that I am not interested? "
" No, he would be offended. "
" Tell him that I am out of the country or I like someone else," I said looking at my Vidhi. She looked tensed too.
" Shubh enough of this, I don't tell lies to my friends. You are in India and you said you don't have anyone special in your life. "
" But I may have... "
" You may have?? what does that mean?? You don't know if you have or not?? Don't lie to me or tell me her name. "
" Please try to understand... "
" Enough, stop being chicken... I am fixing a date and you have to be there along with Vidhi."
" Why along with her? "
" Sagar, Sahil, Samar, Swati all will be in Delhi at that time. "
Oh no !!!
" S.Samar ??? " I knew who he was.
" That eligible man I liked for Vidhi..."
" V.. Vikram Ji... I forgot to tell you that... I have some more work here...I wouldn't be able to come for at least 10 days.
" Ok, I will bring all of them to Jodhpur. But stay there... I don't want any more excuses. I really want to final this for once and for all.
" No... Please... "
" Come back to Delhi or I will have to come there. Though we have to go to Mumbai too, it is going to be very hectic but I have to do it. So please, if you can, just come here. I want Samar to meet Vidhi, once everything gets settled, I can introduce my parents to their would-be son-in-law too. "
No... Your parents have already met their son-in-law... He sitting in front of your dad at this moment.
" Say something?? Come to Delhi, ok? "
" Ok... "
" Good boy... Sagar is really smart to have selected you for his sister. "
You can be smarter than him...
" Now if my dad is around please give your phone to him. "
" Yeah sure... " I gave my phone to uncle.
" He wants to talk to you. " I said and he took the phone.
I looked at Vidhi, she was looking worried and disappointed. She was not even looking at me.
She excused herself and went inside. I wanted to go and talk to her. I can't let all this happen.
" Shubh ??"
" Ji?? "
" Your phone... " Uncle said and I took it back.
" Uncle, I think by mistake Vidhi gave me wrong books, can I go and see by myself what I want?? " I again felt bad for lying to him but I had to talk to her.
" Of course... By all means... This girl is so clumsy. Imagine there is a marriage alliance coming for her and she is so clumsy and careless. When would she grow up? "
" Uncle it's ok... It happens sometimes. She is a very nice girl. "
And beautiful... But mine... My clumsy beauty...
Oh hold your emotions, you are talking to her father. He is also Rajpoot. He will take out his sword in a blink of an eye.
I went to her room and knocked at the door. She opened it and the moment she saw me she tried to shut it. But I placed my foot in the door frame so she could not close it. I went in and closed the door.
" Vidhi please don't be like this... I said I will talk to him. "
" When?? Sagar Bhai wants you to meet his sister and he wants his friend to meet me. "
" I will tell him before that... "
" Why not now??? You can talk to bhabhi... She will talk to Bhai. "
" But that is too weird and I would be a coward if I take help from my sister. I can't hide behind her while talking to Vikram Ji. "
" Ok fine... I am taking help from bhabhi... I am coward. Or let it be... I will call Bhai and tell him myself. Let me get it over it once and for all. "
" No Vidhi please let me talk to him. "
" Call him now and cancel everything or I will tell him. I can't live in tension like this," she said in a very angry voice.
She looked every bit like a Rajpootani queen who was giving me the last warning.
" Ok ok ... Calm down. Let me think. "
" Think well or I swear, I will marry that Samar. Now go from here. "
" Oh, God !!! Do you know, you look extremely beautiful when you are angry. "
" Shubh !!! I am serious.... "
" Me too. I want to... "
" What? "
" I want to... "
" What ?? You are too much. You are scared in telling me what you want, how would you talk to my dad and brother?"
" I am not scared, I am just a bit shy..."
" Oh, God !!! Why did I have to fall in love with you of all the people?? " She said glaring at me and I kissed her again.
I don't know what was wrong with me but I just could not resist kissing her now.
She was calm after that and she hugged me and buried her face in my neck. It was such a beautiful feeling. Blood was running through my body with accelerated speed.
" Let us call them. " She said and tried calling but their phones were switched off.
Why was their phone switched off??
