Siddharth's POV
" Hello, can you please come near my room?? It is urgent. Come fast please. "
" What is going on?? " Shruti asked.
" You will get to know everything within 5 minutes. But you saw and heard whatever happened just now?? "
" Of course!! What do you want to say? "
" You trust everything you saw and heard. "
" I know, what I saw and heard today, but how do I know whatever you said was true?? "
" I assure you that everything I said was hundred per cent true. I am madly in love with my Dr Jindal. He is the love of my life. I have had a huge crush on him for the last 5 years. "
" Why are you repeating all that?? "
" Tell me, you trust that you heard and saw me saying all this. "
" Ok, fine !! "
" Great...."
" Maurvi ?? What happened?? " Bhai came almost running towards us and placed his arm around Maurvi's shoulder.
" Why did you call me so urgently?? Are you alright?? What is going on here?? " Bhai asked with so much concern.
Maurvi was smiling and looking at Shruti. I was still confused to say anything.
" Will Someone please, tell me ?? Sid?? " Bhai asked. Maurvi caught his hand in hers.
" I called you here because I wanted you to meet this amazing girl. She is Shruti, your brother is in love with her. And Shruti, meet this man, he is Siddharth's elder brother, Gautam. Dr Gautam Jindal. The man, I am getting engaged to be married to. He is the one I have been talking about all the time." Maurvi said and Shruti was surprised as hell.
" Hello Shruti, it is really good to meet you. "
" Hmmm ?? Yeah !! Same here, sir. " She said in a slow voice as she was still shocked.
" Sir?? You can call me Gautam or bhaiya or bhai like Sid. " Bhai said and she could just node.
" But you said... " She was still trying to sink in everything Maurvi said just now.
" Whatever I said was for Gautam, but you thought that I was talking about Siddharth. So whatever you saw and heard was right, every single word, I spoke was right, but what you interpreted, was wrong. Trust me every coin has two faces. "
" But you mislead me... "
" No, I just said that I was getting married to Dr Jindal. Gautam is also Dr Jindal. I said, I am madly in love with him and had a huge crush on him... It is also true. I even used the word my Dr Jindal. So this Dr Jindal is mine. I will still get engaged and married to him. But now as you promised, you need to give a chance to Siddharth. "
" What is going on, Maurvi?? " Bhai was grinning after what she said but was still confused.
" Nothing, I was trying to clear some misunderstanding. It is cleared now. "
" Are you sure?? " Bhai asked.
" I think so... Bye Shruti, it was lovely talking to you. Please listen to him. He loves you a lot. I am sorry if you felt that I was interfering in your life. But Siddharth is like my brother. I know him really well and I know his feelings for you are genuine. Please sort out your issues. Bye. Let's go my favourite Dr Jindal." Maurvi looked at Bhai and said shyly.
" Aww... Sure my tomato. Bye kids, solve your issues. Please excuse us." Bhai winked and turned to go. He was grinning from ear to ear.
" Bhai control yourself... Don't get carried away... " I said loudly.
" Sid, explain everything to Shruti and don't dare to disturb us. " He said and maurvi turned into tomato again.
He pulled Maurvi in his arms and went towards her room. He was very happy to hear Maurvi say that she loves him once again.
Shruti was still looking at them.
" So?? You will hear me out now?? " I asked near her ear and she was startled.
" What was all that?? Maurvi is your..."
" Yes, She is very special to me as she is going to be my sister very soon. My brother and Maurvi are madly in love with each other. I am very happy for them. She is adorable. Isn't she?? "
" Yeah... But she confused me. "
" She is an expert in reading faces. " I said while laughing as she was still shocked.
" Oh, ok!! Anyways please go now. "
" No, I have to tell you everything first. "
" Not now... Tomorrow maybe. " She said.
" Promise?? "
" Ok !! "
" All right, good night... " I tried to hug her but she glared at me and moved back.
" What?? We are at least friends now."
" No, not till now."
" But you said you will give me a chance. "
" Only after hearing everything, I will decide, if we can be friends or not. "
" Then hear me out right now...I can't wait anymore. " I said.
" Good night. " She said and went to her room.
I was too happy to sleep now. She was going to let me talk about that day.
I was very excited and took five rounds of the big haveli and was still not at all tired.
It was getting late so I decided to go and sleep as tomorrow was going to bring a new beginning for me.
I was going to my room when I saw Maurvi and Bhai standing near her door. Bhai was holding her hand.
I rushed to them and hugged Maurvi.
" You idiot, leave her. " Bhai pulled me and I was laughing. He was too possessive for her.
" Thank you, beautiful. I love you. " I said and Bhai hit me with a light punch.
" Shut up!! Only I can say that to her.' Bhai said but I ignored him.
" You know, you are the best girl in the world. You were awesome, amazing, phenomenal... She was shocked even after you left. Even I was shocked. You are a great mind reader. "
" Thanks... " She said with a smile.
" Wait, say that again... I will record it and send it to your Shruti. " Bhai said with fake anger but I hugged him too and he smiled.
" So?? You explained everything to her?? "
" No, but she said as it is very late, we would talk about it tomorrow. "
" Yes, she is right. But she is a nice girl, I liked her. "
" You were looking at her as if you were reading a book. "
" Oh, I was. That's why I said all that. "
" Do you think, she has feelings for me ?? "
" Surely... She was shocked and sad when she assumed that... " She said looking at Bhai.
" Bhai you should have seen her. I was speechless. I didn't even know what was she up to. You should have seen how she twisted the truth. It would be an understatement if I say that Shruti was shocked. So was I. "
" You are wicked, tomato. I am getting scared of you. You can play with other's mind. I still remember the way you talked to Aakash. " Bhai said.
" Bhai don't even think to mess with her. She is a sorcerer. She can play with words and read minds like books. You can't hide anything from her. "
" I don't want to hide anything from her. Love you, tomato. "
" Tomato?? Seriously Bhai?? You call her tomato?? " I asked while laughing.
" She is always blushing. "
" Still... "
" Ok, I love you my Haldiram showroom. " Bhai said and pulled her in his arms.
" You are weird. "
" So, what do you call Shruti?? "
" Angry bird... She is always angry. " I said and three of us burst out laughing.
We both said good night to Maurvi and came to our room.
Bhai embraced me and said that he was happy and wished that everything will be fine.
" Thanks, Bhai... "
" Why are you thanking me?? I didn't do anything. " He was smiling.
" You gave me the loveliest sister in the world. She is awesome. I am happy that you have her as your life partner. Thanks for making her a part of our family. " I said and he smiled and hugged me.
" I am glad that she chose me. I was going mad that she had a crush on someone. I was jealous of that man... She is really crazy... And made me crazy too. " He shook his head and laughed.
