Sahil's POV
" Yes, Mr Malhotra?? How may I help you? "
" Thanks a lot, for all your help, my family and especially my sister is very much satisfied with all her dresses. Her happiness is most important to me. Thanks for that, but I really don't need your discount. "
" Wellcome Mr Malhotra, I am glad that your family found my designs interesting. As far as discounts are concerned, that is entirely my choice. Manu is my best friend, she is very special to me, hence her family is my family. I didn't want to charge a single penny for all those dresses, but I knew, that you would not like it so I offered that discount. Please accept it. "
" But it is a very huge amount. "
" It is not, take it as a wedding gift from me. I would not have charged anything for Manu's dresses as it is. And Swati is just so sweet, can't I give her a few dresses for her wedding? "
" But... "
" Relax Mr Malhotra, if you are so keen on giving me the payment, you can pay me in kind... "
" What do you mean?? " I asked in an angry tone.
How dared he say that??
" Just make sure, that you would keep manu very happy. I can see, that you love her a lot. Please take very good care of her. If I ever find out, that you hurt her, I will hunt you down and kill you with my own two hands. "
" Can I ask, why did you propose a wedding to her? "
" I wanted to save her from an unwanted marriage with a stranger. I can't see her suffer, I love her a lot. I would have married her to satisfy our parents and we both could live our lives as we wanted. Just like an open marriage. "
Did he say he love her?? I was angry but I controlled it.
" Why an open marriage, why not a normal one? " I asked.
" Well, that's because my sexual preferences are different... I am a bisexual, but I am more interested in men, " he said looking into my eyes.
I just nodded my head and said, " Fair enough... I respect your love and concern for Manyata. I love her a lot, I will always keep her happy.
" After meeting you, I realised that you loved her a lot and if I am not wrong, she likes you too. So I am trusting you with her, don't disappoint me," he said.
" I won't, I am glad to know that manu is blessed with such a good friend. I hope, we can be good friends too. "
" Sure Mr Malhotra... " he smiled.
" Mr Malhotra?? You can call me Sahil. And sorry, but I was very jealous of you and kept calling you names. One of my most favourite ones was glorified tailor... Sorry again." I said and he burst out laughing.
" Tailor... That is kind of cute... you can call me that if it is your favourite. I knew you were jealous of me. Let me tell you one thing, I made even manu jealous, when I said, I was interested in you. She told me to stay away from you. " He winked and laughed.
" Are you?? " I raised my eyebrow.
" What?? "
" Interested in me ?? "
" I would have been if you were not my best friend's husband. But you are off-limit to me as per Manu. " He laughed again and I joined him.
" Seriously?? She said that? "
" Yes, with a warning to stay away from you. She likes you a lot but is still a bit apprehensive because of what happened earlier. "
Awww my cute little beautiful wife possessive about me. I love her...
Just then the door opened and Samar and Manu came in. They were surprised to see us laughing.
" What is going on here? " Manu asked.
" Nothing, we are trying to get to know each other. Right Sahil? " he winked at me.
" Yes, tailor... " I smiled and winked back at him.
" What?? " Both Samar and Manu were shocked. We both got up to go out.
" Bye handsome, keep in touch... " He said.
" Sure, I would. It was nice meeting you. " I said and he gave me a side hug.
Eyes of my cute wife were about the size of tennis balls. Samar's jaw almost hit the ground.
" Are you alright? " Samar whispered to me and I nodded.
I winked at both of them. We all came out. Swati and Damini thanked him and he smiled.
I made the payment for all the dresses.
Manu looked a bit uncomfortable at that. She once said that she didn't want anything from me.
I smiled at that memory. I didn't know anything at that time. But now I know that she is my wife, I had the right to buy, whatever I wanted for her.
Girls thanked Mohit for the wonderful dresses and his precious time. He smiled and said, " It was my pleasure, I am glad you liked them. As far as time is concerned, anything for Manu. "
