Mohit's POV
Everyone was there and just then, everyone looked towards the door just behind us.
I turned to see her and I was rooted to the ground. She was wearing a dress designed by me, making it look much better.
She looked beautiful, elegant and sophisticated. A bit older than her real age but really breathtaking.
She looked at me with her big brown orbs and then looked away shyly. I went close to her.
" Wow !! Srusti, you are looking simply stunning. " Bending forward, I gave her a peck on her cheek. She gasped slowly and looked anywhere but me.
Oh, God !! She was so cute... Everyone was looking at us.
" Shall we go for our first formal date, darling?" She seemed to be startled by the endearment, I delivered so smoothly. She swallowed and turned an adoring face at me and nodded.

Mohit's POVThey reached our table before I could think of anything." Hi, Mohit !! Oh my God! I could not believe my eyes when I saw you." Charles said." Hi, Charles... Maria. How are you? " I smiled politely." We are good... But what about you?? We are meeting after so long. What happy days those were... when you, me and Robin... used to hang out together. Then you both got busy. We should meet more often. For old times sake... I miss both of you. " Charles said with a wicked smile." Yeah... But I got very busy. " I wanted them to go away as soon as possible. I was not feeling good." Yeah, can see that... won't you introduce your friends to us?? She is very beautiful. " He said looking at her with his lustful eyes.I was getting very uncomfortable and wanted to punch him for that. How dare he look
Mohit's POVSrusti came back, holding a broom, dustpan and a garbage bag." Oh, please don't bother, I would do it. " I started going towards her." Stop right there !!! Go and sit on the bed with your feet. " She said in a firm voice and started collecting all the tiny pieces with the broom." But I created this mess... "" It's ok... I would clean this mess. I can do at least that much for my only friend here. Right?? "" I... You don't have to. Please, it's not your work. " I said as I was feeling guilty." Oh, c'mon what are friends for?? You might just call me your friend but don't think of me as one, but I do. "" Why are you saying that?? I consider you my friend... "" No... You don't. Or you would have shared your problem with me. Don't say that t
Srusti's POVI didn't even realise what I was doing, I just reached out and placed my hand against his nape.His very tight and corded muscles were telling their story on their own. I immediately began to knead the taut muscles. My fingers started moving automatically, remembering the expertise I had attained while helping my mom easing her pain. It was just that his muscles were much tighter and corded as compared to my mom.I kept massaging for about 5 minutes. But I needed to apply more force, so I went closer to him but still, I could not reach and massage all his muscles.Finally, I left my inhibitions and sat very close to him. Our bodies were touching and I was a bit conscious of it but it was not the right time to think about all that.I saw him relaxing under my hands. His breathing had become slow and relaxed, so I stopped and l
Srusti's POV" Did Maya ask about the date? "" Yes, I said we had lunch and were planning to go for a movie and shopping but you started having a migraine. "" Oh ok, so you are staying here tonight?? "" Hmmm "" It is not good to stay with your would be groom in the same house just before wedding. " He said teasing me." It is not good to leave your only friend alone when he is not well. " I said with a smile. He smiled but it looked like a sad one." Don't distract me, finish your food. " I said raising one of my eyes." No, I have had enough. It might not be bad, but I don't like it as well. "" You are so fussy. Fine, now take a rest. "" Hmmm but I am not sleepy. "" Mohit Ji, you need to t
Srusti's POVI heard someone talking and my sleep got disturbed. I rubbed her eyes to finally open them.Maya di and Viraj Ji were standing right in front of me. I got up abruptly." Good morning, Srusti !! " Maya said smirking at me, Viraj Ji was also trying to hide his smile." Good morning di !! How are you?? What happened?? You want something ?? "" Yes... Explanation. Hurry up start now. " She said." Explanation of what?? "" Yesterday you said that you can't come back because Mohit was not well. And I asked you to take care of him. Right ?? "" Yeah..."" Why did you tell a lie?? Did that useless brother of mine asked you to say that ??" It was not a lie di... He didn't tell me to do anything, he was not well. "
Srusti's POVMohit's name was being written on my hand and I felt as if it was being written in my destiny not just in my hand.Stop going down that lane... Or you will repent. it's just a name... Just a design on your hand with Heena. Don't think anything else. My soul said.I know It is just a design. Nothing else. It is just a fake marriage... A marriage on paper, merely a deal.Good now keep that in your mind before thinking anything else.Hmmm.******It was a beautiful day but I didn't know what this day would bring for me. I agreed to this marriage and I'm going to help him. But if my soul was right and I was falling for him, who would help me??He said he chalked everything out. He made me understand what I needed to do. I was just an employee to him, whose respo
Srusti's POV" Pandit Ji, can her elder brother do the ceremony? " Viraj Ji said. I got so emotional that tears started flowing again.Viraj Ji looked at Di and she was smiling like anything and nodded enthusiastically. Then they looked at me and smiled as if he was asking me if it was alright with me. I just nodded and started crying. Maa hugged me." Yes, of course, I am sorry I didn't know. " Pandit Ji said.Viraj Ji and Maya di performed kanyadaan. I was getting very emotional. Mohit was looking at me.He tied the Mangalsutra around my neck and then he looked at me apologetically and filled my hair parting with vermilion. A bit of vermilion fell on my nose and all the 3 women in the family grinning from ear to ear." Why are all of you smiling like that," Papaji asked." See some of the vermilion got spil
Srusti's POV" Since we can't go out, we must stop thinking and sleep. " he said looking away from me as if he was talking to a wall." I can't sleep... "" Why?? I won't disturb you if that is bothering you. " He said again but he still didn't look at me.I was getting irritated a lot with his behaviour. I mean I could not be looking so repulsive to him that he could not even spare a look at me." I was not even thinking about all that. I don't have any doubt about that, I know you are not interested in me. Rest assured, you don't need to remind me of that. I just meant to say that I can't sleep in this dress. My clothes are in my room. I said. without looking at him.He looked a bit uncomfortable at what I said. But so was I. He doesn't have to tell me again and again." I am sorry... May be Maya has
