Mohit's POV
They 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 tremendously successful, shall we go out and celebrate? "
This is too much... Is this girl totally stupid?? This is my exibition and I have a party now. How can she expect me to go out with her?
" Ummm... actually I can't leave from here while I have guests here. And moreover, I am really tired as I worked continuously for the last week. So I think we would have to do that next week. "
" What nonsense Mohit?? Take her out for dinner tomorrow. " Mom suggested not too lightly. She was trying to impose her on me. I was getting irritated.
" Mom Please... I am tired and have not slept properly for more than a week. I want to chill out and most of all want to sleep. "
" You can't possibly sleep for the whole week. " She glared at me.
" I have other appointments. "
" Tell Harry to cancel them. "
" Mom I can't.... Ok fine !!! I will see, when can we go out and will text you the time and place. Now I need to go. My other guests are also here and the reporters wanted my interview. Bye mom, Thanks Mrs Khanna for coming along. " I said and left before any of them could say anything.
I was getting sick and tired of the match making done by my mom, sister and my grandmother. They were hell bent to get me married as soon as possible.
The exhibition was successful and after the party, the guests had gone and all the models and other people who worked for me were winding up their things. I thanked everyone and I also went to the room I had booked for myself.
I changed and got into my bed and wanted to face time with Robin. I missed him, wanted him beside me.
I saw that he was still composing. His hair looked ruffled. He must have been really too busy to miss me. But he smiled when he saw me. My mood lit up a bit at that moment only.
" Hey !!! How are you love?? How was your exibition? I am sure you sold every single design of yours. " he said with love in his eyes.
" It was a great exibition... Very successful. But missed you a lot, Robin. "
" I know, I also wanted to be there besides you... But you know that I was very busy or I would have been there with you. But atleast your... best friend was with you... Right?? "
" Robin !! How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to feel jealous of Manyata. She is just my best friend. I love her as I should love my best friend. And as it is... "
" But you once thought about getting married to her... and don't bother to deny that, you told that to me yourself. "
" For God's sake Robin, that was atleast a month ago... You are still stuck to that... I told you why I did that. She had to get married to someone to please her parents and so do I. It would have been just a cover. I don't have such feeling for her. I like you..."
" I don't know... I am not feeling good... Why do you need a cover at all? Listen Mohit, you have got to understand that what we have between us is not forbidden... It is called love... It is even legal now. For God's sake don't make sound like a sin. "
" Of course... It is love... I know it is not a sin... But I have to consider the emotions of my family too. They would never accept it. "
" Why ?? Atleast try to tell them... They would understand. "
" No they won't. My mom is making me go crazy... She wants me to get married and have kids. "
" Wow!! And you are planning to do just that... Aren't you?? "
" No I am not... Robin please yaar... You could tell your parents about it because they are very open minded and they have a progressive thinking. They don't think that it is a sin but still even they are not very comfortable with us spending our lives together openly. "
" But you have to tell them someday... We can't go on like this. "
" But Robin, my parents are different. They will not be able to tolerate it. "
" Listen Mohit, I love you a lot. I want you in my life but I hate it when you can't accept it. It's better you get married to your best friend Manyata only. " he said in a condescending way.
" Hold on... I am not getting married to her. I am not in love with her... And anyways she is happily married now with a very hot and handsome man. Her husband is hot as hell and they are head over heels in love with eachother. They are leaving for their honeymoon first thing in the morning. "
" Oh !! So you are already missing her. Feeling low that she is out of reach now?? "
" Have you gone mad, Robin? Please listen to what you are saying. Or please pay heed to what I am saying. I love you not her or anyone else... But I can't tell my parents. "
" Ok fine... I understand it's just I get annoyed at times. On top of that I have so much work load. Sorry, I snapped at you. " he said with a cute pout.
" Awwww... So all is well between us... ? "
" It is, but tell me one thing are you attracted to Manyata's husband?? "
" Oh my God!! Well, yes momentarily, I was. But he is my best friend's husband and I love you.... Will you stop it now... "
" Ok... But stay away from him. "
" I like it when you get jealous over me. But what about you?? Are you dating someone there?? "
" Yeah, just a few casual dates, but nothing serious, so chill... "
He said he also missed me a lot and that he would have to stay in mumbai for another week.
I felt so bad and decided that if I could take out some time, I would go and be with him in mumbai. But it seemed impossible as I had lots and lots of requests from my guests and clients.
So I was a bit upset as I had to wait for another week to be with him.
******
It was almost a week since the exhibition. I have been able to dodge my mom's every attempt to throw Ms Khanna and me in a situation together.
She sent me countless messages reminding me that I had to take Tanvi on a dinner date.
I didn't like the girl at all even to spend a few hours with her and my mom wanted me to spend my life with her.
She called at my office and even Harry but I was out of reach by any channel.
Finally she got annoyed with me and gave up with me. I was happy but my happiness was short lived as my dad called me home and I had to go.
I reached home and saw that mum and dad were having tea in the living room.
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,&n
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?? "&
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 m
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 jo
Srusti's POVI woke up and saw that I was in a different room, it was a very well kept room. Where was I ??I looked around and saw that I was in bed with a man.A man ??? Oh my God !!!!Who was he ?? Why were we in the same bed? I looked at myself my clothes were different. Looked like a man's clothes.Oh god !! What happened??? I hope it's not...I was scared and was about to cry anytime very soon.The man was holding me in his arms, I pushed him very hard. He loosened his arm.Oh, God !! He was the most handsome man I had ever seen. Tall, fair, very handsome. But why and how were we in the same bed??" Who are you??" I asked getting out of the bed. But winced badly. Something was wrong with my foot, I was in pain. I was about to fall when he caught me.
Srusti's POVI knew my sister will see it in the morning as she always got up before her husband. I was still holding that big knife in case he comes back.I came out of the house and closed the doors. Just then I saw that it was raining. I had not taken any umbrella, but I could not go back inside. I planned to stay there till the rain stopped but all of a sudden I heard a sound coming from inside and I knew that I had to run away.I ran with my full speed to avoid any encounter with that disgusting man. I wanted to get as far away as possible from him.So, I kept running and all of a sudden I was in front of a car and before I could do anything, it hit me hard.And once I opened my eyes I was in bed with that extremely handsome man him holding me protectively.He looked so concerned about me. He was talking so nicely. But
Srusti's POV" Er... Would you please tell me your food preferences, I would make food accordingly? "" I am sure, I would like anything you make... "" Please, it would be easier for me to make food, if I know about your likes and dislikes. " I said and he smiled again.He told me about all that and then I asked him what type of food he prefers to take to the office. And he said he has had so much junk food in last month that he would prefer Indian food for quite a few days now and I nodded.He said that he might send someone from the office for his lunch, so I didn't have to make everything early in the morning. I smiled and nodded and after flashing his beautiful smile, he went to his room.I did some preparations for the next day and wound up the kitchen and went to my room as well.I was thinking a
Mohit's POVI started eating the food very fast, it was very good. But I was too hungry to say anything about it. The girl, I couldn't even recall her name at that time because of the stress, came to me with water." I know you are very hungry but you must eat slowly. You might chock on it. " She said with a sweet smile." The food is very good, I am very hungry and I am in a hurry. " I said taking another bite.My phone started ringing, I saw my sister calling me again. I rolled my eyes and took another bite. But she called me again. I got so annoyed that I picked up the call." Hello !! What is your problem, Maya? Give me a break... at least let me eat my dinner. I have been given a month, why are all of you after my life?? " I said before she said a single word." Give you a break?? Do you even have an idea, what you hav
