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.
