Samar's POV
That day my heart was beating like anything when I went to the airport with Sahil to pick up her.
I saw her coming and was mesmerized to see that she had become even more beautiful. Well, good looks were there, in their genes.
She jumped on Sahil. She was so full of life. I said hello to her and she just nodded and smiled.
She kept telling Sahil about her life in Canada. And kept listening to her. Her voice was so sweet.
Sahil asked me to stay with them and I didn't refuse as I wanted to be near her. Sahil had to stay back in Delhi for two more days.
He told me to take his mom and sister back to Chandigarh. I was so happy and did that. Aunty kept sleeping for the whole ride while I got a chance to spend some time alone with her.
She was so cute and talkative. She was shy in the beginning but became friendly soon.
And after reaching Chandigarh we have been meeting almost every day. I went to shopping and have dinners with them. I loved the way she chose the dresses and then would wear them. I gave my suggestions and she always took them.
I was enjoying every second of these days with her. She was becoming more friendly with me. She was cooking new things with Manu and loved every single thing. I was falling more and more for her.
I loved the way she always called me as Samar Ji. It was so cute. I was eating almost all my meals with them so that I could spend more time with her.
My dad and Damini parents asked me to join them for meals repeatedly but I wanted to be with Swati. Damini asked me what was the matter but I said that I would tell her very soon.
Though Damini was just like my sister and a very good friend, she was getting married to Sagar. I didn't want to take a risk. What if she said something to tease me or Swati in front of Sagar or Sahil?
I was dreading the time when Sahil and Sagar would come to know about my feelings for their sister.
Sagar used to think that I was interested in getting married to Damini as the Damini's parents and my father were very good friends and they wanted us to get married.
Sagar was annoyed with me because he was madly in love with her. But then I told him that I don't want to get married to her because I was in love with someone else for many years. He was really happy to know that.
He asked me about her, but I could not dare to tell him that it was his sister, Swati. He asked me to help him to get married to Damini and in return, he promised me that he would help me in getting my love.
He also said that he would help me in impressing the girl and her family but I am scared how he would react to know that I was talking about Malhotra and the girl was Swati.
Sagar was still better... but Sahil ?? Sahil is gonna kill me. But, I can't help it if I was in love with her.
I was attracted to her when I saw her for the first time. I didn't realise that I had fallen for her, but when my father wanted me to get married to Damini, I realised that I could not think my life without Swati and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and her alone.
I was thinking about all this when the phone started ringing. Who was calling me at this hour?
I saw Sahil's number. I picked it up.
" Hello, Sahil?? "
" Hi, Samar!! this is Neeraj. Sahil is here and he is drinking like anything. He is not feeling well. I saw him drinking here alone, so thought that I should inform you. "
" Thanks a lot, yaar.. you did the right thing. I will be there in 10 minutes. " I disconnected the call, change my clothes, picked up my wallet and car keys. I reach there in 10 minutes.
I saw him sitting there at the bar still drinking I stopped him from drinking and took him out of the club.
" What is this Sahil? Why were you drinking like this? You don't drink more than two and that too only in a party. "
" Samar just find her.. " he said in a slurred voice.
" Whom?? " I asked him.
" I need to talk to her... please find her." Why was he behaving like that?
" Whom are you talking about? "
" Manyata Singh Rathore... "
I made him sit in my car and asked him to drink lots of water. He was not used to drinking so much. So he vomited there. I made him wash his face and mouth.
He was a bit sober now.
" What happened Sahil? Why do you want me to find Manyata? "
" I don't know, I am very restless these days. That stupid brainless girl has not even reacted. I deliberately added a few things to infuriate her. But it seems she is spineless." He was saying.
" I should not be bothered about her, but I am feeling bad that she is somewhere alone while her parents are not here to take care of her. Dad looks at Sagar with so much love and when he looks at me that warmth is lacking as if he was accusing me. " He looked at me and I could see the pain in his eyes.
" I could not say anything when he asked me about her. I don't want to be associated with her. I don't want marriage. " I patted his back, he was feeling very bad.
" I am very restless, I can't even tell Sagar. He has shared everything with me till now. He is really happy after a very long time. He was not even living his life, till he met Damini again. I don't want to give him stress."
