Manyata's POV
" Hey... by the way, did I say how beautiful you are looking today? " He said with a smile.
" Oh please, you must have said that to all those 200 girls you dated."
" Yes, I did... but never really meant it. But I am saying it to you for the first time but not the last time. And you would be the last girl whom I would keep saying that till my last breath. " He said and smiled again.
Oh, God !! This man... He knew how to flirt so well... Of course, he would know, has so much practice.
I rolled my eyes and finished eating my food. He kept smiling.
He asked me what dessert I want and I was about to say no when someone at my back called his name.
" Hi... Sahil !!! Long time no seeing... Where have you been baby? " I turned to see a girl scantily dressed up, said very sensually.
Baby?? Really ??
I looked at him and raised one eyebrow at him.
He closed his eyes for a second and then shook his head.
" Hi... I have been very busy... " he said but kept looking at me.
" Were you too busy to even give me a call? I would have helped you in reducing the stress." He flinched at that.
" I don't have any stress. Now please leave," he said to her not even looking at her.
" Oh!! Sorry to disturb your date. So you are with another girl... you will never change... Mr Casanova. I think I must give friendly advice to your new girlfriend. " and then she looked at me.
" Don't bother... I am not his girlfriend." I said with a smile.
" Will you please leave us alone... she is not my girlfriend, she is m... " Sahil was getting angry. I glared at him. I didn't want him to say that I was his wife.
" Manyata ma'am?? Oh, God !! It is so nice to meet you here like this. "
" You know her?? " Sahil asked her but she ignored him and continued to talk to me.
" Ma'am, I am very surprised to see you with him. You shouldn't fall for this casanova... I am suggesting you this, as I respect you and the pictures you clicked helped me in my career."
" Thanks a lot... Don't worry, I am not going to fall for his charm. " I said with a smile.
" I apologise for my behaviour earlier ma'am. Bye, take care. Good luck to you Mr Sahil Malhotra. " She said smirking at him and then went away.
" Manyata... I am sorry for that."
" Don't be... In fact, you should have stopped her and offered to have dinner with you. She seemed quite interested. "
" How does that matter if she was interested?? I am not... And you know everything..."
" Bye Mr Malhotra, thanks for the wonderful dinner but I need to go now. I am really tired. "
" Please wait for some more time. At least wait and have something sweet. "
" Thanks but I don't want... I had dinner to prove that I am not scared of being alone with you. But I don't enjoy it either. " I said and got up.
He kept money on the table and got up with me. I started going out and he followed me. He caught my hand and pulled me towards his car...
" Please listen to me... You know my past... But I want a present with you so that we have a beautiful future. "
" I don't want anything with you Sahil."
" I can't change my past yaar... But I swear I have changed. Trust me. I want to grow old with you. I want you in my life. Please don't be so harsh. "
" I am tired Sahil... Please I want to go and sleep. "
" Ok then spend the whole day with me tomorrow.
" No, I have work to do. "
" So have I... But I want to be with you," he said coming very close to me.
" Listen go and do your work. I can't afford to waste time. I have appointments, I can't cancel them. " I stepped back.
" Dinner tomorrow?? " he came closer again.
" No... " I said and pushed him. He stepped back and looked disappointed.
I went to my car and drove towards home.
I saw him following me in his car.
Why was he being so stubborn??
I parked the car once I reached home and came out of the car. I went to him.
" What is your problem?? Why did you follow me?? "
" To see that you reached home safely... It is very late. " he got out of his car.
" How does that matter to you? " I said
******
It was morning and I was sitting in my car in front of Vikram's home. She came out in her car and drove off. I followed her and parked my car a bit away from her car. She took out her big bag and a big tiffin box with her.
Tiffin box??
I went after her.
" Good morning beautiful wife of mine... "
" Oh, God !! What you are doing here?"
" To see you of course... I wanted to spend my time with you so here I am."
" But I am not free... In fact, I am extremely busy... "
" It is ok with me... You do your work, I will entertain myself. "
" No way... "
" You don't have an option darling. Either I am coming with you, or you are coming with me. "
" Don't you call me with these endearments? I don't like it."
" But I love it... What else should I call you?? My wife?? I don't mind that too."
" Are you forgetting, that you told me, not to tell anyone that we are or were married? I work here and I have not told anyone about our wedding. So don't dare that. "
" I don't care what you call me, but I want to know about your life and work and I am not going away... If you are going in, I am going with you."
" Sahil you are irritating me. "
" Say whatever you want. We are married and I have a right to know where my wife works and with whom."
" Stop your drama and go away. I can't take you inside with me. What would I tell everyone about you? "
" Whatever you want... "
" You know what?? I just hate you... "
" Hate me, all you want, but give me another chance."
" Hey, beautiful !!! Good morning..." I heard someone say that coming towards us. Manu looked at him and smiled.
