Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 68

Manyata's POV

" Manu, trust me he has changed a lot. I  know him since I know Sagar and that has been very long.  So I know, he has never been serious about any girl, but he is extremely serious about you now. You have tamed the casanova."

" I don't know... I want to believe that, but I have apprehensions, that I would get emotionally attached to him and he would get back to his old ways. "

" Ok, then at least give him a chance to prove himself. After so many efforts he has been taking, he deserves at least a chance. "

" I... He... I mean, I don't know how to say that. "

" He is trying to come close to you? " she said all of a sudden. I gulped and looked away.

" Umm... Yeah. I don't know... how to handle... all that. "

" I understand, did he try to force anything on you?? "

" Oh no... Not at all." I said. I was getting very uncomfortable talking about it.

" Good, you must understand that you both are married. Some romance is allowed. Just chill and loosen up a bit." She smiled at me and I was feeling embarrassed.

"  I know that he has feelings for you, and can feel that you like him too.  He cares about you and is over possessive about you just like Sagar is for me. Give Sahil and this relationship some time. Everything would be fine. " She said and I smiled and nodded.

" Great !! Hey, where is Sandhya??  I have heard that she is an awesome cook. I want to show the Malhotra brothers that I can cook. I could have killed your husband today for teasing me.  " she said seriously.

" What happened?? " I asked with a smile.

" He was leaving for the work in the morning, I asked him to wait so that I could make something for him, that idiot said that I should let it be or he would have to call fire brigade or hospital. "  She said and I tried not to laugh.

" You are laughing?? You are also on his side? "

" Not at all... I am on your side. " I said and she smiled.

Bhabhi came in with a tray. I helped her and we chatted. Vidhi had gone to do some work.

We were enjoying a lot as Damini was telling us about their school days. She told about bhai sa, Sagar Ji, Sahil, Gautam Ji. They all were there in the same class. It was nice to know about their school days.

It was evening and bhai sa came home. He freshen up and joined us.

" Hey, Damini !! How are you? "

" I am good, but I don't know if you would be for very long. " Damini said.

" Why?? Hey !!  I hope you did not tell all about my school days to Sandhya?? "

" I did... Everything," she said and bhai sa looked at bhabhi and she glared at him.

" That's not fair yaar, she will make me sleep in the guest room. "

" Right... " Bhabhi said.

" Baby ?? Sandy baby ?? Listen, I had not even met you till then... Sorry, yaar. " He said sweetly making an innocent face. And bhabhi smiled.

" Thank God !!! " Bhai sa said and smiled.

Vidhi also came back and joined us. I looked at the watch, it was 7 PM. He would be here soon along with Sagar Ji.

The doorbell rang and my heartbeat increased a bit. Vidhi opened the door.

One of the twins came in. He seemed to be Sagar Ji. I looked at the door, but no one else was there.

He did not come... Was he avoiding me??

Bhai sa got up and they man hugged each other.

" Sagar, where is Sahil ?? "  Damini asked.

" What??  I am Sahil... " He said.  I looked at him. Was he??

" Oh please, Sagar don't start... " Damini said.

" Damini, I know you are missing your handsome husband. But I am Sahil. " He smiled at her. 

" Handsome??  Who says that?? Vikram is much more handsome than him. I always thought that Vikram was more handsome. " Damini said.

Bhai sa was drinking something and he choked on that. He and bhabhi looked confused. His eyes were as big as tennis balls.

" What?? Say that again..." Sahil said and going towards Damini, he looked very annoyed.

" Ok, Vikram is more handsome than your brother. " She said looking into his eyes.

" How can you?? That is not fair... " he caught her arm roughly.

Bhabhi was going to the kitchen but I told her to be there while Vidhi and I went to the kitchen.

" You like him?? " I asked Vidhi.

" Who?? What are you talking about? "

" Shubh Ji... "

" No. Why did you ask that?? "

" I felt so... You kept looking at him, and he was stealing glances towards you. "

" I don't know... But I feel something for him. I like to annoy him. We are like cheese and chalk. Totally different. " Vidhi said and I smiled.

" What about him?? "

" He avoids me, but at the same time, he keeps staring at me. " She said and excused herself and went away.

I could understand what she meant. I was laying the plates for snacks when someone pulled my arm roughly to turn me around.

" Why are you doing this?? " He said while turning me.

I was shocked to see that it was Shubh Ji.

" Shubh Ji ?? What happened? "

" Oh !! I am sorry... I thought...  you were... " he was so shocked that he is as still holding my hand.

" Vidhi. Right?? " I asked.

" What is going on?? " Sahil came in and became very angry to see him holding my hand. He removed his hand from my arm and was glaring at him.

" I am sorry, I thought she was... " Shubh Ji said.

" No, she is not, what you thought, she was. She is Manyata, my wife.

Manyata Sahil Malhotra. So, just stay away. " He placed his hand on Shubh Ji's chest.

Oh, God !! He looked ready to kill him.
