Mohit's POV
I went outside and saw Manu clicking pictures of Wasim and Monisha. I was amazed by her dedication. It was not easy to come to work, on the next day of your wedding.
I still remember my meeting with her husband Sahil Malhotra. I was shocked...
That day, Manu came to the workshop with a man. I had met him at a wedding, which Manu had gone to attend in Chandigarh. He was really handsome and attractive. I liked him a lot, But before I could talk to him, I felt that there was some tension between both of them.
He said he was her boyfriend and I got angry with her as I used to tell her everything about myself. I still remember she came to talk to me the next day. But I didn't want to talk to her. I don't know why, but I felt bad.
" I am sorry Mohit... I should have told you about him. "
" I don't want to talk about it please..."
" Please Mohit, at least hear me out. "
" What?? I asked you so many times about him but You always refused to say anything. Why do you want to talk to me about him now? "
" I know... I am sorry... But I didn't want to talk about him. "
" So why now?? Had trouble in paradise earlier... And now everything is settled? Passion filled moments and all that... haan? "
Why was I sounding jealous?? I didn't love her... I mean, I did... But not in that way. But then why??
Maybe, I was feeling insecure about losing her.
" Mohit Please... It's not like that. It's not like that at all. "
" Please what, Manu ?? What do you want to tell me now?? I don't want to hear anything now... Your boyfriend already told us many things. "
" Mohit... "
" Please yaar, I felt betrayed. let us not talk about your boyfriend. "
" He is not my boyfriend... "
" What?? What the hell?? " I asked. She started crying.
Why was she crying?? What happened?? Was she in any kind of problem?? I would kill that man if he did something...
" Why did he say all that ?? Why ?? What the hell is going on?? Who is he?? " I took her in my arms and patted her back to calm her.
" He is my husband.... "
She said and I was shocked. No... That was not possible.
I always thought that I was an important part of her life... But she had a husband??
" How?? How can he be... You are married to him?? How ?? When?? Why??" I was so shocked. I wanted her to deny it.
She told me everything... From the beginning.
" What the hell?? Who gets married like that?? " I was feeling bad...
" I know... But I had no option. "
" Why didn't you tell me?? "
" I was shocked... "
" I would have helped you. "
" How?? "
" I would have married you... " I said.
I really would have... She was the only woman I could live with... We get along well.
" What ?? Are you insane ?? "
" No, I am serious. "
" Mohit!! But you... "
" My parents are really after my life to get settled. I don't want to... "
" But then, why??? "
" At least, I would have saved you from that unwanted forced marriage to a total stranger. "
" Mohit, do you even know, what are you saying?? "
" I know what I am saying..." I said. I was feeling bad. I had a sinking feeling. I didn't know why??
" But why??" She asked but I just shook my head. I didn't know...
" Leave that... So, exactly what do you feel about him?? " I asked.
" I don't know. "
" You love him? "
" No... "
" So there is still a chance for me?? " I asked.
" What ?? No way... "
" You like him??
" I don't know... I am not sure... "
" Will you care to explain? "
" I am not sure what I feel about him. I hate him for what he did but still, I am thinking about him all the time. "
She was thinking of him all the time?? I was sure that they were falling for each other.
" You signed the papers, right? " I asked.
" Yeah, but he destroyed them. "
" So what?? I will get the papers made in no time. "
I would have if she had wanted to get divorced from him. But I didn't feel that she wanted it.
" I also said that to him. But he said he would not sign the papers at any cost as he wants another chance to make this marriage work."
" Adamant man "
" Very Adamant... "
" He seems to like you a lot. "
" How can you say that? "
" Well, I saw in his eyes. He was getting all jealous and possessive when Kabir, Wasim and I were coming close to you, he was getting very jealous and wanted to beat all of us. I know that. "
" What ?? "
" He is falling for you. "
" You really think so?
" I know so... trust me I know the way he was looking at you and all the glares, he was giving all of us. "
" Seriously?? " She asked and I nodded.
" What do you think about him?? " She asked.
" Well, he seems to be a nice man. He is falling for you and is really hot... Tall... fair... handsome.... "
" Hey !!! You are talking about my husband... " She said.
" Getting jealous?? "
" No... But still, he is married to me. "
" Hmmm, I wish he was not..."
" Mohit !!! Stop talking about him like that. He is off-limits to you..." She said. So, she was jealous...
" You are being mean... You don't want him and still, you are getting jealous over him too. What exactly do you want? "
" Nothing, but just don't think about him. As it is, he was a casanova... He is absolutely straight. "
" I will try to change his point of view... " I teased her.
" No Mohit... " she said glaring at me but I kept teasing her for another five minutes that she should let me try my charm on her husband.
" Mohit... No more discussion on this point and just stay away from him... stop thinking about him. Ok?? He is married to me. "
I was teasing her. I was sure she liked him.
" So.. you and him never...."
" Hell no... Enough Mohit !!! stop it."
" I mean not even kissed?? " I asked and her face became absolutely red.
" Oh god.... Look at yourself. So you both have kissed. How was your first kiss?? "
" I don't want to talk about it... "
" That bad ?? " I narrowed my eyes.
" What ?? No... " Her whole face was absolutely hot even thinking about those kisses.
" That good?? Shit !! I am jealous of you. " I said, her eyes got wide open.
" Mohit !! You are too much. Drop this topic already. "
" He seems to have understood everything and I think he loves you. He is trying a lot dear. Please, give him a chance. "
" I don't know... I want to... But I doubt that he is not serious in the relationship. What if he goes back to others. "
" What if I persuade him to try something different for a change. " I winked wickedly.
" Just shut up and stay away from him... " She glared at me.
" Ok, love, " I said, raising my hands in surrender and then shook my head and started laughing.
" Mohit, why did you say that you would have married me? "
Oh, God !! I should not have said that...
" I thought that you were bound in a forced marriage to a stranger just to satisfy your parents. I may also have to do that someday. They would never understand my sexual preferences. You know everything about me still you don't judge me for that. I love you a lot. So I said that it would have been better, if we got married to satisfy our parents, at least we are friends and you know very well that you are the only woman I love. We could have gotten married to satisfy our parents and could have lived our lives the way we wanted. "
" Mohit you are crazy... why would I judge, it's your life... Live it the way you like. But, I don't think like you... "
" What do you mean? "
" I want to be in a normal marriage, where my husband loves me and me only. "
" I understand that... Forget that I ever said that. "
I wish, I had not said that... I didn't want things to get awkward between us.
" Hmm... You are my best friend... Though you are a bit crazy, still, I love you. "
Oh, Thank God !! She was normal...
" I love you too... But your husband is hot... Let me know, well in advance if you want to divorce him. "
" Get lost !! "
" Someone getting possessive over her casanova husband. "
" Shut up !! " She said and shook her head.
I swear, I loved her, she didn't even get angry when I proposed to her indirectly. I could not lose my friendship with her.Mohit's POVI wanted her to be with me as I was very comfortable around her. I didn't want to let her go. I was scared that she might forget me... Her husband may not understand our relationship and tell her to keep away from me.I wanted her in my life, but I was not attracted to her. I loved her but not as a man loves a woman. I was used to being close to her. I didn't know what it was. I could be me around her.I was shocked when I got to know that her parents forced her to get married to Sahil Malhotra. He was a handsome hunk by all means, but they didn't love each other. So initially I didn't want her to remain in that marriage.So I even proposed to Manu as according to me it was better that she marries me than being married to a complete stranger, at least we were best friends. We loved and understood each other and our dreams.But I realised that they liked each other and she said that she wanted a partner who would love only her. And no one else... I felt that Sahil was one s
Mohit's POVAfter talking with Robin, I decided that even if I could not tell my family that I loved Robin, I would not give in... I would resist meeting that girl.So I took a deep breath and then I called my mom back." Hello " She picked up the phone and said sweetly." Hello, mum !! "" So, you got time to call me? " She said in a taunting way. She loves me a lot but gets annoyed that I rarely go home." Mum, I was very busy. You know that I have an exhibition this week. I am buried in my work up to my nose."" Oh please Mohit, you are always busy. I would not take it. You are going to meet the girl. I booked a table for both of you at The Leela Palace. Be there at the time... " She gave me an order." Mum, I can't go today. I am working very late. " I retorted." No excuses Mohit !!! You are always busy... Always working late. Enough is enough !!! I would not take no for an answer. Be there at 8:30 sharp. Be nice to the girl. " She gave me the ultimatum." Mum, if you want me to
Mohit's POVI went to her and hugged her. She was really beautiful and elegant. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me hard." I am so glad you came, mum... " I said." I had to... It's my only son's exhibition. I would not have missed it for anything at all. "" Love you, mum.... "" Love you too son, but I have not come alone, my friend and her daughter are also here. Here meet Mira Khanna and her very pretty daughter Tanvi. " Mom said with a huge smile.Oh no!!! Not again... Not with so many people around.But they were already here. I could not avoid them so I took a deep breath and tried to smile politely." Hello Mrs Khanna, I am so glad you could accompany her. Please enjoy the show but you would have to excuse me as I am a little busy today." I smiled at them politely but I was fuming inside.Why did mom have to bring them along with her?" Yeah sure beta, but if you are so busy why don't you take Tanvi with you... She would help you. "" No, actually I don't need help.
Mohit's POVThey took my leave after I whispered to them to use protection. Manu glared at me while he laughed and winked at me.Though theirs was a forced marriage, but they were so much in love with each other now. They were lucky that they were together after a bumpy start.I missed Robin... I wanted him by me right now. But it was not the time to sulk about it.Sahil had requested me to get their room decorated with flowers and candles.I had instructed the hotel to do everything and they assured me that it would be done very nicely. I also sent some snacks and chocolates.We had a Hi tea party right after the exibition. The moment I turned, I almost bumped into... Tanvi Khanna.Oh God !! This girl was getting on my nerves now." Mohit... It was a wonderful exhibition. I loved it. Your designs are awesome. I got 3 dresses for myself."" Awww that's great... My dresses would look even better on you. " I smiled politely." I was thinking, as the exibition is over and it was tre
Mohit's POV" Hi, dad!! Mom !! " I said to them." Who has called him here and why?? He doesn't care for me. He doesn't have any time for me. Tell him to go, I don't want to see him. " she said looking away from me." Mom !!! You are overreacting. "" Of course, I am overreacting... I send at least 75 messages and called at least 30 times and still, my only son never bothered to call back or come, I am overreacting. "" Mom I was really busy... "" Right... Go and do whatever you were doing. Don't worry about me. Go and spend your life the way you want. How does that matter if your mom felt humiliated when her friend asked her every day that when are you taking her daughter on an outing? "" Mom I didn't like the girl at all. "" Why?? She is so beautiful, smart, educated, cultured, belongs to a good family... "" But I don't like her... I hope that also matters if I have to select someone to spend my whole life with?? "" At least meet her once... You talked to her for merely 5 m
Mohit's POV" Maya, Dadi maa put some sense into her. This is sheer blackmail. "" No, she is absolutely right, I will also support your mom and do the same. She might survive as she is quite young as compared to me, but I am literally living on medicines. I won't survive if I stop taking them. But why would I want to live a longer life?? To. see you ruining your life?? No, I don't want to live either. " Daadi ma said." What has gotten into everyone?? "" Go from here, but don't take my warning lightly or you would regret it later on. " Mom said bitterly." Maya... Say something to both of them. "" What shall I say, they both are elder than me. I may not agree with their way to persuade you. But they are right, it is high time, you must settle down now. " She said." Has everyone gone mad?? "" Go and think about it, but you have only one month to get married or you would lose one of us. Most probably it would be me. I don't want to die before I meet your wife or play with your chil
Mohit's POVManu had already gone on her honeymoon with her hot husband. I could not disturb her with my problems.There was an unconscious girl in my house. I didn't know what to do about her.I was getting tired and must have slipped into slumber when I heard a sound. A sound as if something had fallen on the floor. I got out of my bed and went to see the girl. She was shivering badly and was very restless.I went close to her, she was still not awake but was muttering something as if she was having a bad dream. She was perspiring like anything. Her forehead had tiny dots of it and she looked petrified and disgusted at the same time.I tried to wake her up but I didn't know what to call her. I touched her on her shoulder and she pushed my hand away immediately and shrunk away from me." Don't touch me... don't come near me. I don't want you to touch me. Leave me alone... " She said with disgust in her low voice as she was still not awake. She was dreaming about something bad, the l
Mohit's POV" You don't know anything, I had to leave... I was not safe there... as well." She said in a low voice." What?? What happened?? " I asked.Oh My God !!! So that dream..." Nothing just leave all this. I don't want to bother you anymore Mohit Ji."" It's ok, you can tell me if you want... I would not be bothered. Where will you go?? What will you do?? "" I haven't thought about it but I am not going back. I will find a job. "" Were you not scared for your life? It was very dangerous to leave your house at that time of night. "" It didn't bother me at that time. As it is there is nothing good in my life... Listen, I am very thankful to you and I know I am sounding a bit ungrateful to you, but I don't want to talk about my life. Thanks for your concern, I will find a job. "Oh !! The sweet child was scared and miserable last night. I can't let her go out like that... It's not safe." Ok, but you can stay here till you get a job and safe accommodation. "" How can I st
