Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 8

Sahil's POV

Why did she cry when Swati was talking about dad?? Why did she run away from the room?

Mom and Sagar also went to their rooms.

" What happened to her? " I asked Swati

" I don't know, maybe she missed her parents. " she looked a bit confused too.

" Then why she is staying away from them? " I asked.

" She is a photographer, she has an assignment to complete, she is supposed to click pictures of 5 beautiful places like this beautiful city and places around it. She would have to make a cover story on them. That's why she is staying here." She said.

"  How did the two of you became friends? " I asked again.

" She was studying in Canada as well. " She said casually.

" Oh ok... I am really tired I must go and sleep now.. good night Sweetie.. "

" Bhai, it is Swati.. you know that I don't like being called Sweetie. "

" But you love sweets and I love calling you Sweetie. "

" Fine. I will not talk to you. "

" Ok... Sorry swee... Swati. " I smiled at her and kissed her on her forehead and went towards my room.

I saw Manu coming towards me. She was looking downwards.

" What happened?? " I asked her when she came closer to me.

" N..nothing... " she said but didn't look at me.

" Then why did you cry? " I couldn't stop myself from asking. Though I knew, she won't tell me.

" I didn't. "

" I saw tears... "

" Something got into my eyes," she said still not looking at me even once.

" Are you alright? " I asked again.

Why am I even bothered? She doesn't even want to look at me.

" Yeah... Absolutely. Thanks. '

" Ok, good night. "

" Good night. "

She said and ran towards her room.

Oh, so she is a photographer..... That's why she was clicking pictures of everything.

But what is her problem with me?? Just because I thought that she was Swati and picked up her ??

She must be insane...

Hey, but why was I even thinking about her??...she was just a very boring girl...

I had more pressing issues to think about. Dad was coming the next day and he would again be after my life. I was sick of that matter. He wanted me to spend my life with the daughter of his friend who lived in Jodhpur.

Actually, he wanted Sagar to come to Jodhpur,  but as Sagar could not leave Damini alone at that time. So I went to help my dad. When I reached there instead of Sagar, dad asked me why did I come instead of Sagar?

I told him that Sagar was busy. He told me that he wanted Sagar to get married to the daughter of his friend here in Jodhpur.

I told him that Sagar was madly in love with someone for the last ten years and he would never get married to any other girl than Damini.

My dad said, "  I have already given my words to my friend that my son would get married to his daughter. "

" But how can I help it? Sagar would not marry her or anyone else than Damini and I will not marry anyone .. "

He tried every trick in the book to get me married to that girl. He tried emotional blackmail, he even threatened me that he would never talk to me again and that I would not have any right on his properties and business.

I avoided my dad for days and we did not even talk to each other. I don't know why that girl got ready to get married to me. Was she so incapable of finding a guy for her own?
