Shruti's POV
He pulled me in his arms and tightened an arm around me and caught my hand closer to his face. He was seriously looking for his name?? Why was he doing it?
My back almost touched his hard abs and chest and I was getting a tingling sensation where our bodies touched. I was getting conscious of it but somehow I felt that I liked it too.
" Yeah got it !! "
" What nonsense?? "
" It definitely makes sense as you are mine and I am yours. See ' S ' and 'J'."
" This is just a Heena design. Not your initials. "
" These are my initials, I requested the Heena artist to make them on your hand. So why should I leave your hand when my name is written on it?" He was still holding me in his arms and he even tightened them around me. He brought my hand near his lips and kissed it.
" This is not fair... How can you do that? We are not together and not... "
" Till now, angry bird, only till now. Soon you will be mine. Only mine. " He said and somehow I didn't get angry.
Was I getting soft on him??
" Leave me, please, " I said and pushed him with my full strength.
I almost ran where Vidhi was before Siddharth had pulled me away. I reached there before he could stop me.
I was shocked to see the scene in front of me.
Vidhi and Shubh were having a very heated argument. He was telling her to go inside or call us as he was not going to leave her with Dhruv alone.
Vidhi slapped Shubh very hard...
Oh God !!!
But why??
" Vidhi !!! What did you just do?? What happened here?? " Vikram bhaiya also saw that she hit him and almost shouted at her. Sid had also come and was standing there in shock beside me.
" Vikram Ji, please take care of your sister. Don't leave her alone with strangers. We can talk later. Just don't let this man be anywhere near your sister. It was my duty to tell you. Now it is up to you, how you take it. Bye. Sorry to spoil your outing. " Shubh said and started going away.
Bhaiya tried talking to him but he said that they can't talk there and create a scene. He looked very hurt.
" I am coming out with you. Gautam will take care of Sandhya and Vidhi. Sid, take Vidhi inside and you and Gautam please take care of her and Sandhya. Vidhi, go inside right now. " Vikram Ji said and Sid just nodded.
We all went inside, where everyone was. I was still shocked. Why did she slap Shubh? What happened??
Siddharth's POV
Oh, God !! We should have stayed with Vidhi. What happened?? Why did Shubh say all that about this man Dhruv?? What did he do??
I wanted to ask Vidhi but she seemed to be in shock.
We reached where Sandhya bhabhi was.
" Where are Vikram and Shubh?? What happened?? Vidhi ?? Say something, please... " She asked
" Vikram Bhai is coming in a while. They had to talk about some issue. Don't worry bhabhi, everything is fine." I replied for her.
" Are you sure?? Shall I go there? " Bhai asked.
" Yes, I am sure and he wants you to stay here and take care of all. They are just talking. " I said and bhai nodded and sat there nearby with Maurvi and me. He asked me and I told him what I knew.
Shruti stayed with Vidhi, she needed her. Vidhi was crying, Vikram Bhai came in after some time. He was angry with Vidhi and Dhruv didn't come back. Vidhi looked very embarrassed.
I went to her and asked if she was fine ?? She just nodded, but I knew she was lying. I offered to take her back to home but she said that Vikram Bhai refused to let her go home.
We all went to other destinations and Shruti and I stayed with her. While Bhai and Maurvi did lots and lots of shopping.
Their engagement was just around the corner.
********
We all were tired and were going to our rooms when Maurvi asked me if I cleared the issue??
I nodded and smiled. They both looked happy. We went inside our room.
" Tell us, what happened?? " She said.
" I told her everything, she seemed to have understood. So we are on talking terms now. Thank you, Maurvi !! You were right I think she has feelings for me. "
" I told you so... But how can you say that, what happened?? " She asked.
" She is like Bhai. " I said.
" Like me?? What do you mean ?? " Bhai asked with a smile.
" Possessive !! She is jealous of all the girls around me including Vidhi, Maurvi and noopur. I think she will also buy rakhis like you, Bhai. "
" Sid !!! Wait!! I will break all your teeth now, then she wouldn't even look at you. Idiot !! Shameless, making fun of me?? " Bhai glared at me but Maurvi and I were trying not to laugh but then Bhai smiled as well. We both burst out laughing Bhai joined us.
" So all set?? So, you officially have a girlfriend now?? "
" Not officially, as she is talking to me, possessive about me but still denies it. It will take time. "
" Yes... But she will be fine soon. I will go and ask her to come back to Delhi with us. "
" Oh yes, thank you... You are so sweet. Love you. " I said and smiled.
" Abe oye !!! Only I can say that to her. Go and say that to your girlfriend. "
" What is your problem if I say that to her, she has no problem? " I raised one eyebrow.
" Shruti !! Just see he is flirting again. Wait, I will go and tell her." He yelled her name and said. He even started going out.
" Bhai !!! No !! Have mercy on me. She started talking to me today after 2 years. Maurvi is my sister-in-law, so she is like my sister. "
" I know duffer... I was teasing you. "
" I was scared as hell. " I said placing a hand over my heart.
" Awww... My cute little brother is in love. I am very happy for you. " Bhai said and hugged me.
Maurvi went out to talk to shruti.
Shruti's POV
I was packing my bags for going back to Delhi, just then someone knocked at the door. I opened the door and saw Maurvi standing there.
" Hi !! Can I come in? " She asked politely with a smile.
" Of course, why are you even asking?? Please come in. " I said and she walked in.
" All set to head back to Delhi?? "
" Yeah!! "
" We are leaving first thing in the morning, why don't you come with us?? "
" Er... I don't want to trouble you. "
" What nonsense !! It will be our pleasure if you could accompany us. I will also appreciate a girl's company. And we are going to Delhi only, so it is very convenient. "
" Ok, if you insist... "
" I do... Please, I would love it. I also wanted to invite you to my engagement, it is in 3 days. "
" I don't know... it will be awkward. "
" Oh, not at all. I would love to have you there. I won't take no, for an answer. You have to... Please do come, I will take permission from your parents if you want. "
" Yeah, Ok fine !! "
" Great !! Thanks a lot !! " Maurvi said.
" Thanks?? What for?? "
" For giving him a chance to explain. He is so much relieved now. He is really serious about you. "
" Er... Um.... "
" It's ok... You don't need to say anything. I know it takes time to change any view. There is no hurry, but I can assure you that his feelings are genuine. He is smiling like a fool since he came back. He was so sad in the last few days... So thank you. " She said but I didn't know what to say. I knew that my face was gaining colour.
" Awww... So cute. I am so happy that I met you. I am sure we will enjoy being friends. "
" I am sorry, I assumed that... "
" It is not your fault, I created that confusion to know about your feelings and to tell you about his. He is just over-friendly, not flirt. I swear I am in love with everyone in this family. They are cooler than cucumber. Uncle is awesome!! Aunty is very sweet and both the brothers are very good. Anyways... Leave that. I am glad that you agreed to come. "
" Thanks for clearing the misunderstanding. "
" The pleasure is mine. Good night. We will wait for you in the morning. "
" I will be ready... Good night. " I said with a smile and she hugged me all of a sudden. She was sweet and bubbly.
She smiled at me and left.
