Manyata's POV
I picked the phone again searched the number and pressed the dial. The bell was ringing.
" Hello...Manu?? " Swati picked up the phone, she sounded very excited.
" Hi, Swati !! " I smiled hearing her voice.
" Hi, Manu... I mean bhabhi... "
" No Swati, call me Manu, please... Like earlier. "
" No bhabhi, I didn't know, that you were already married to Sahil bhai, so I called you Manu. But bhai is older than me. So I can't call you by name."
" Swati... "
" Please bhabhi... I missed you a lot "
" I missed you too. "
" Bhabhi... I need to tell you something... "
" Hmmm please... "
" Bhabhi... Actually today... Dad and Mathur uncle decided that... " She seemed to be unsure, how to tell so I prompted her.
" Decided what?? "
" That ... Samar Ji and I are to be married. "
" What?? Wow!! I am so happy for you. Congratulations !! "
" Thanks, bhabhi, Samar Ji had already talked to Sagar bhai and dad but we were scared about Sahil bhai's response. "
" Why ??"
" Samar Ji is his best friend... And he had this doubt that Sahil bhai might beat him to a pulp. "
" So what happened?? "
" He was very supportive and happy. They even teased each other. He has changed a lot bhabhi... "
" Seriously?? " I was surprised to know that. I wanted to ask more about him.
" Yes bhabhi, Samar Ji didn't want our parents to talk about it, till he told everything to Sahil bhai. "
" Oh ok... is that why Samar Ji called in the morning? "
" One of the reasons bhabhi. But bhai came quite sooner than we expected. Samar Ji told us that he talked to you."
" Yeah... he left right after that call. Though Vikram bhai didn't want him to go today. His hand was hurt and the long journey.... "
" Bhai's hand was hurt?? How?? "
" Yeah... I... don't know. Is he... fine? "
" Seems to be... He went to the site right after the lunch at Samar Ji's place and hasn't come back till now. "
" Oh...ok." I felt disappointed.
" Bhabhi, I want you to be with me for my engagement. Please... "
" Y..yeah... I will try... "
" No... You have to come... Or I will not do any engagement. "
" What?? Are you crazy?? Samar Ji will kill me."
" I don't know... I have told you. "
" Ok... fine... "
" Thankyou bhabhi... "
I felt awkward as well as good to hear her call me as bhabhi.
" One more thing bhabhi... "
" What?? I need to buy a dress for engagement. Will you help me?? "
" How?? You are there and I am here."
" We'll find a way... Can you please get one from Mr Mohit?? "
" Sure ... Done. He is working on the Summer Bridal collection. The dresses are really good. "
" Great !!! Thankyou bhabhi... I love you. "
" I love you too. "
"' Bye bhabhi, mom is calling me. "
" Bye Swati, it was nice to talk to you. I was missing you a lot but when I talked to Samar Ji in the morning, since then I have been missing you a lot."
" Then keep calling bhabhi... I missed you too. "
I disconnected the call. I was still thinking about him.
Sahil's POV
I went to the site and tried to solve the problem. It was some technical issue. After about 3 hours, I finally found the solution. I gave them the solution and asked them to take all the necessary corrective measures.
It was 8 in the evening when I came back. I was extremely tired.
Mom and Swati had prepared my favourite food.
We all settled down to eat. Everyone looked happy.
I was also happy though, I missed her. Mom and dad went to their room as they were tired and wanted to discuss the engagement.
" Bhai how is your hand now? " She asked.
" It Is fine now... Samar told you? " I said with a frown.
" Why did you drove, when your hand was hurt? And no, Samar Ji didn't tell me. "
