Manyata's POV
" Mohit, why did you say that you would have married me? "
" I thought that you were bound in a forced marriage to a stranger just to satisfy your parents. I may also have to do that someday. They would never understand my sexual preferences. I am bisexual, but I prefer men. You know everything about me still you don't judge me for that. I love you a lot. So I said that it would have been better if we got married to satisfy our parents at least we are friends and you know very well that you are the only woman I love. We could have gotten married to satisfied our parents and could have lived our lives the way we wanted. "
" Mohit you are crazy, why would I judge... it's is your life... Live it the way you like. But, I don't think like you... "
" What do you mean? "
" I want to be in a normal marriage, where my husband loves me and me only. "
" I understand that... Forget that I ever said that," he said with an apologetic smile.
" Hmm... You are my best friend... Though you are a bit crazy, still I love you. "
" I love you too... But your husband is really hot... Let me know well in advance if you want to divorce him. "
" Get lost... " I smiled at his antics.
" Someone getting possessive over her casanova husband... "
" Shut up and let's work, this has been a very long lunch break... "
" Tell bhabhi that food was awesome today... Very special."
" Hmm, she prepared it especially for Sahil, her Kanwar sa. But he had to leave for Chandigarh all of a sudden." I said.
" Hmmm.... so that's why your mood was off when you came. Already missing him ?? "
" You have gone crazy let's work and tell me, why you were so excited when I came. You looked very happy... What happened ?? "
" I am planning to have an exhibition- cum- auction for my latest collection. All my masterpieces will also be displayed as well."
" Wow !! That's great... when are you planning to have it?? "
Next month maybe the date is not finalized yet. But we have to work hard I want you to click pictures of my each and every creation. It is going to be very grand. "
" Sure.... "
" So come on beautiful...all set?? "
" Hmmm... " I said and nodded and he came and gave me a very warm hug.
We resumed our work and finished it. We looked at the pictures and then finally packed up and I came home.
Sahil's POV
I reached Chandigarh and went home directly. Mom was in the living room along with Swati.
They were so happy to see me. Mom had tears in her eyes. She hugged me.
" Why didn't you tell me before leaving for Delhi?? Who writes a letter saying that he is going for a few days? You don't care for me. " mom scolded me and twisted my ear just like she used to do when I was a child.
" No ma, I care for you... I love you.." I said and hugged her.
Then Swati threw herself in my arms as usual. I winced a bit as my hand was already hurting a bit after driving for 4 hours.
" What happened bhai?? " Swati looked very concerned. But I hugged her and kissed on her head.
" Nothing... It seems you have gained weight. "
" That is so mean bhai..."
" Where is dad?? I need to talk to him?"
" He is getting ready as we are going to meet Mathur Sahab and Samar is coming to take us to his place for lunch. I must go and get ready. "
" What?? Why?? "
" Your dad wanted to meet him for a long time he called up and Mathur Bhai Sahab invited us there. Samar is such a nice boy, Your dad and I want Samar to be a part of our family... So we are going to talk about the wedding. Once Sagar and Damini are back, we will have the formal engagement. " she said and went into her room.
What?? Have they all gone mad? That is not possible? I won't let it happen. How can Samar agree to this??
I will beat him to a pulp. He has no regard for our friendship. How can you think about it? I will not let that happen.
I ran towards dad's room but just then I saw Samar coming.
I went running to him and said, " What did I say to you before I went to Delhi?? "
" What?? " He said as if he didn't remember anything.
" Samar !! How can you do that??? " I was annoyed.
" What have I done?? "
" I told you to stay away from Manu. "
" So, I am away from her... she is in Delhi and I am here. " He said innocently.
