Sahil's POV
I would love to but was not sure about Manu. I would never forget that horror movie we saw together. I had not even seen a single scene of the movie. But I loved every minute of it.
I looked at my angel and felt that she must have recalled that only, as she blushed.
" Sahil ???? " Samar shook me.
" What?? "
" Kahan ho bhai?? Kauno aur gola pe chale gaye the?? ( What man?? Where are you lost?? Did you go to some other planet? ) " Samar said and everyone laughed.
" Shut up !!! " I said and looked at her. She was blushing harder.
" So tell me, would you like to watch?"
" I would love to... " I said looking at her. She glared at me and I winked.
" But I don't want to... some other time perhaps, we all are enjoying so much like this. " Swati said.
" Ok cupcake ... As you wish. " Samar said with so much love and I rolled my eyes.
" Cupcake ?? Hmm... Samar you are too much... Always thinking about food. " Damini laughed at him and we all joined.
We kept teasing each other and then decided to call it a night and went to our respective rooms.
I tried my level best to sleep but I could not. Whenever I closed my eyes, her beautiful face smiled in my mind. All I could think of was about her.
She was here in my home, still not with me.
I wished I had not messed up everything. I wished I had seen her that day. I wished I had taken my wedding seriously, I wished, I had not sent those papers and that letter. I wished,
she didn't hate me.
If I had not been such an idiot, she would have been here, in my room now.
But there was no use of crying over spilt milk. I wanted her in my life and my arms. I hugged a pillow and slipped into slumber.

Manyata's POV
Swati and I chatted for quite some time last night. She told me about how everyone in the Malhotra family thought that Samar Ji was interested in me.
She told me everything and I blushed at the part where she told me about Sagar Ji and Samar Ji's plan. How they let Sahil believe, that Samar Ji was interested in me. She told me that Sahil punched Samar Ji again and again and told him to stay away from me.
" He loves you bhabhi... " She had said. I kept thinking about all that even after Swati slept.
********
It was morning, I did my daily routine and went out. I saw Damini getting out of her room. She smiled and said good morning. I did the same.
" Manu I need your help. " She said.
" Yeah, tell me... "
" I want to cook, I need to show both of them that I can cook. "
"Ok, good... Let's go. "
She said she wanted to cook pasta, sandwiches and pancakes.
So I helped her a bit in chopping and cutting but she did the main cooking. I just gave a few tips.
Everything was ready and none of them had come out, so I suggested her to make some fresh fruits salad to make breakfast more healthy.
She prepared a very tangy and tasty fruit salad.
" I am very hungry and excited to see everyone's reaction. I will go and call Sagar and Samar. You go and call Sahil and Swati. " Damini said.
What?? No...
" You call Sahil... " I said hesitantly.
" Why?? What is your problem?? "
" Please... "
" See we are family now, we must believe in a division of work. I will wake up my husband and you go to yours. As it is, I am very tired. I made the breakfast also. "
" Please Damini... Ask Sagar Ji to wake him up. "
" Hahaha... It is the most difficult task to wake up Sagar first... Sorry, I can't wake up Sahil as well. Go and wake them up, I am very hungry. " Damini smiled at me mischievously. I was a bit scared to go to his room. It was a bit weird.
I woke up Swati, she got up and smiled.
He inched closer to me and touched his lips on mine. He kissed me tenderly. I liked the way his lips were playing with mine.
What was happening to me?? I started enjoying his kisses. Was I in love with him??
He nipped and then licked my lips. One of his hand started roaming over my back. I gasped a bit and his tongue found its way in my mouth. He pulled me, even more, deepening his kiss.
I was literally lost in his kiss, which started as a soft tender one and later became very urgent. We were getting short of the air now. So he released my mouth reluctantly.
" God !! You are driving me crazy, honey. " He said and I pushed him again. He loosened his grip on me this time but was still holding me. We were panting.
" leave me. Get... ready and come downstairs..." I said and he removed his arms from my body. I felt as if something was lost.
He smiled at me and went to washroom again. I heard the shower running again.
Did he forget that he just took bath?? Crazy man...
I went to my room and saw my face in the mirror. It was red and my lips were also looking red and a bit swollen.
Oh, God !! How would I go downstairs like that??
I washed my face again. Applied a light pink lipgloss.
I went to the dining table, Swati and Damini were there. Damini looked at me and smiled.
" So, is he coming?? " I just nodded. Swati went to the kitchen.
" Nice colour of the lipstick makes your lips look fuller. By the way, as far as I remember, you had not applied the lip colour earlier... What took you so long to wake up your husband? " She smirked at her own comment.
Oh no... I think she guessed it.
" Shall we start laying all the dishes on the table? "
" Yes, but let me tell you that you are looking very pretty with that delicate blush on your face and slightly swollen lips. " she winked and smiled.
I closed my eyes to compose my self. " Damini !!! Please... " I was blushing harder now.
" Good morning Manu." Sagar Ji said and came towards us. Samar Ji also came almost at the same time.
I greeted both of them.
They waited for Sahil to come and finally he came and greeted everyone.
