Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 65

Manyata's POV

Bhabhi told Sahil that I also made Paneer kheer for him and he smiled faintly.

"  I kept some kheer in the freezer to cool it faster, I will go and get it. " Bhabhi said.

" I will get it bhabhi... " I got that and served it to him.

" Thanks," he said and smiled but didn't look at me.

" So, here is your favourite kheer, try and tell us, how is it." bhabhi said. Sahil tried and closed his eyes.

What was he thinking?? Why was he behaving like that??

" Amazing... "  He said and I kind of liked it.

" Have more... "

" Bhabhi, it seems to be your favourite dialogue while eating, but I swear, I will burst at the seams if I eat more. "

" I will keep this for you, you can eat when you come back from your work," Bhabhi said and he smiled.

" You are going to work?? Why??  I planned an outing today. " bhai sa said.

" I was getting calls from Delhi office so have to solve some issues here. " He said and bhai sa nodded.

After breakfast, he said bye to everyone and went away without saying anything or giving a smile to me. 

Was he hurt or angry? Was I being very difficult with him??

Bhabhi noticed that and she asked me, " Did anything happen Manu? As he was behaving in a different way. "

But I didn't know what to say. I felt a bit awkward in saying everything but I told her.

  " He wanted to go out with me but I had lots of work to do. So I refused. He tried to persuade me and offered me to pick Sagar Ji and Damini from the airport. "  

" You should have gone out with him. He is also busy but he is taking out time to mend this relationship between you two. You must take some efforts too. "

" Bhabhi you think, that I should have gone with him? "

" Yes definitely,  you should have... "

" But how could I go with him ?? "

" Why not?? He is not a stranger. He is your husband. "

" I don't fully trust him..."

" He would not hurt you, you know that and how will you build trust between you, if you don't give it a try??

" I don't know, I am confused.  "

" All the best... But let me tell you, he is trying his level best. And trust me that you are falling for him too. I hope you realise it soon. " Bhabhi said with a faint smile and get on with her work.

I should not have rejected his plan for a day out.

I didn't want to do that... I was just a bit scared to spend time with him alone. He was being very... Naughty.

I couldn't help thinking about him. His gaze and unreadable expressions and his very handsome face all were affecting me.

I thought of the tingling sensation that I felt in my body, his sweet and tormenting kisses, his continuous gaze... everything was creating havoc in me.

I was not sure if, I wanted him to be near me or not. I got uncomfortable whenever he tried to come closer to me or kissed me but at the same time, I felt comfortable and safe around him.

I wanted him to leave me alone, yet I was disappointed and sad when he didn't even look at me or talked to me.

What was all this?? Was I really falling for him?? What if, he goes back to other girls, as old habits die hard.

I was confused as hell, but then I pulled myself together as I had work to do as the exhibition was coming and I had to take a leave to go to Chandigarh for Swati's engagement.

Bhai sa and bhabhi asked me to come with them to his friend's place but I did not want to go. They were reluctant to leave me alone but I told them that I had lots of work to do.

They got ready and went to Gautam Ji's place. He had planned to go for an outing earlier, but as I refused to go and Sahil also went away, they had to change the programme.

I was supposed to work that day, but somehow I couldn't do much work, as Satan came coming back to my mind to distract me.

The doorbell rang and I went to open it. It was barely 2 hours. So it could not be bhai sa or bhabhi sa.

The door opened and I was shocked.

" Why did you sleep here?? "

" Oh! You forgot?? Last night we slept together. "

" What?? Are you out of your mind?? We just watched a movie, I must have slept...but why didn't you go to your room? "

" Well just like you, I also slipped into slumber. "

" Get up and go to your room. "

" Why honey?? I love it here... "

" You... You... You are so irritating and annoying. " She said and went out of the room.

I buried my face in the pillow. It smelt like her. I loved it. 

I went to the kitchen after some time and she was cooking something. I wanted to talk to her but she was annoyed with me.

I know, that she was embarrassed about sleeping in my arms. But it was such a heavenly feeling as if I had come home.

I asked her to spend the day with me but she denied as expected. I tried again but when she mentioned Mohit,  I really felt bad.

I came back to my room. He was so important to her. I also had work but I was trying to mend everything that I ruined in the past.

I took a cold shower and my temper cooled down. Maybe I was going too fast or maybe she needed some space and time to think and understand.

I had feelings for her but she did not have. So I must give her some space.

I decided to go and do my work. So I went to our Delhi office and resolved all the issues. I also attended a few meetings and then it was evening. I wanted to go back to my Manu but thought that I should give her some space.

Just half an hour had passed but it seemed like many hours. I wanted to see her. So I thought of going to that tailor's shop ... I mean office. But they were not there.

I was getting restless so I decided to meet Sujoy, one of my very good friends. I called him and we went to have dinner together. He suggested going to some pub or club but I didn't want to.

It was nice meeting him after so long.  We enjoyed our time talking. I wanted to tell him about Manu but then decided against it. I thought that I would invite him to Swati's engagement and then introduced her to him. So I invited him to Chandigarh for the engagement.

It was time to go to the airport, I wish Manu was with me but I guess she needs some time and space.
