Sahil's POV
The moment I stepped in mom's room, I saw that she was talking to Swati whose back was towards the door. I picked up Swati from the backside to startle her to swirling her in air, I usually do pick and turn her around, twirling her in the air.
Just when I turned towards the door, I saw Sagar standing there. He was shocked. But why?? I was not doing it for the first time. Swati shrieked and I placed her back on the floor.
She turned and slapped me hard and I froze at my place. Oh shit!!! It was not my sister Swati. It was another girl with the almost same height and body structure.
She looked angry and shocked. But she was looking very pretty with that red tint on her cheeks.
" Oh.. oh... I am sorry... I thought .... that you were Swati... My sister. " I said still holding my cheek.
" Yeah.. ok.. fine... I am sorry.." she said and ran away from the room. I was confused and still shocked as if I was rooted there.
" Who was she?? I thought she was Swati..." The door of the washroom opened and Swati came out. She ran towards me and threw herself in my arms.
" Bhai... You came back... I was missing you. "
" I missed you too. Who was that girl?" I asked.
" Which girl?? Oh!! Manu?? Where is she?? " she looked around to find her.
" I thought she was you.. so I picked her and twirled her around in the air. I didn't know. her back was facing me and I wanted to surprise you... but I got shocked. "
" She is my friend, Manu. She had some work here so I insisted that she stays with me... As it is, she doesn't know anyone here... "
" Oh... Ok. " I said. I was a bit embarrassed.
" So excited??? ... our brother is getting married soon. " I said smiling at her.
" Yeah... Sagar Bhai is getting married then you will get married... "
" I don't want to get married. " I said in an irritated tone.
What was wrong with everyone??
" Why?? what is the problem in getting married?? Sagar is ready to get married... Your dad and I got married... We are happy na??.. What is your problem?? " mom asked in an angry tone.
" Mom please yaar... Am I your sole target, now that Sagar is getting married?? "
" Ok fine... We have the Roka ceremony tomorrow... Sagar and Samar have seen to most of the arrangements... You do the rest. I want the ceremony to be flawless... it's the first marriage in our family.. so the first ceremony has to be perfect. Understood ??"
" Yes, Ma'am... I mean mom.. " said Swati.
" Yes, mom... " I said smiling faintly. I was getting annoyed by this topic of marriage. I was very happy for Sagar as he was finally getting married to the love of his life after a long set of sufferings for about a decade.
" Where is the bride to be?? " I looked around.
" Must be in her room her parents wanted her to stay with them but she stayed here.. "
" Means you did not let her go... " I smiled at him and he smiled back.
I know him so well.
" Bhai you are blushing... " Swati teased Sagar. He was blushing.
" Shut up Ok, I told you to get your eyes checked... Sahil I think we should find a guy and get her Married soon. " He said.
" Yes do that... Find a nice boy for her... And you both stop teasing Sagar... He is my best child... Got such a nice daughter-in-law for me. "
