Chapter 69

Mohit's POV

" Well, I said so because I really love Srusti. " Sahil said with a cool smile.

WHAT?? I felt that someone stabbed me in my heart.

" What?? What nonsense?? Since when do you know her?? " I caught his collar.

" 3 days! when I saved her from her filthy brother-in-law and I fell in love with her instantly. " He said.

I don't know why I was having a sinking kind of feeling.

" What do you mean that you fell in love with her 3 days back. What about Manu?? "

" Manu? What about her?? It doesn't matter... " He said with a devilish smile.

" How can you do that?? Back to your basic nature?? Stay away from Srusti and I would kill you if you hurt Manu..."

" Are you concerned about Manu or Srusti?? " He was smiling.

" What do you mean?? And stop smiling or I will break all your teeth."

" Are you angry because Manu is your best friend and I am betraying her?? Or because I confessed my love for Srusti?? "

Don't you dare talk about Srusti like that...

" Both "

" Ahhh !! So I was right ?? You are feeling something towards Srusti?? Right?? You wanted to punch me right now for saying that I love her?? Great!!! Now I can die peacefully. Revenge has been taken. Awww it feels so good... "

" What revenge?? " I was annoyed with him.

" You once said that you love Manu..."

" So?? I do..." I was irritated with him.

" I also love Srusti. " He said grinning.

" Cut the crap Sahil !! What exactly do you mean by all this you just said. Tell me or I swear, I would beat you. " I said and he burst out laughing.

" Cool it, brother !!! Srusti is like my sister, Swati. I considered her as my sister the moment I met her. I even called her sweetie as I call my sister Swati. I told her to call me bhaiya too. "

" Seriously?? She is like Swati for you?? " I took a deep breath and asked. He nodded still laughing like a fool.

" You noticed that I called Srusti as sweetie. Didn't you?? "

" Yeah !! " I said looking away.

" Stupid Tailor !!! Don't you know how crazy I am for Manu ?? "

" I know, but... "

" But you came under the influence of the green-eyed monster... I know. So, I told you, why I think she is my responsibility, now you tell me?? "

" I came to talk to you... But you were in Chandigarh. I need your help. "

" Anytime bro... You love her?? " he asked me seriously.

" I don't know... It is complicated. "

" It always is. Did you tell it to Manu?? "

" I didn't get time to tell her, but I want to. Please don't tell her, I want to tell her. "

" Ok!! But we are meeting tomorrow and you would tell me everything. "

" Yeah... I am in a mess. "

" Don't worry... We are with you. We will clean all the mess for you. " He said and I hugged him. He patted on my back.

" What is going on here?? " I saw Manu who was glaring at us.

" Dostana," I said and winked at her.

" Mohit !!! I hate you. Get away from him, you idiot. "

" What if I don't ?? I really like him... Oh, correction... I really love him. "

" No, find someone else, he is mine. " She said and pushed me away from her hot husband. We both burst out laughing.

" I love it when you do that. " Sahil said to her.

" Possessive woman. You are a lucky man... " I said. I also wanted my wife to be possessive about me.

" Thanks, I know. Bye Mohit. Meet me tomorrow. Let's go beautiful." He said and then went out taking Manu and twins with him.

I came in to see what was Srusti doing, I saw her helping Harry as Sonia had already left.

" Srusti, would you please see and tell which one is better?? " They were standing side by side looking at the design.

" What are you doing?? "

" Helping Harry Ji "

Harry Ji !!! I hate it...

" He doesn't need your help. Do you Harry? "

" I don't need, but I don't mind her helping me. Do you Srusti?? " He asked her.

" No Harry Ji, my pleasure. "

My pleasure?? Seriously?? Enough !!

" Harry, if you need help, hire another assistant. She is not your assistant. Understood?? " I asked and he nodded and went to keep the designs and fabrics samples in the storeroom.

" But I am free now, I can help him. "

" Let's go home. " I told her but she shook her head.

" I can go, di and jiju called up they are coming to get me. " She said.

" Just shut up and cut this drama. Either you come normally, or I would pick you up and throw in my car."

" You won't. "

" I would... Try me. "

"You can't, people are there, even Harry Ji. "

" Harry Ji ?? He would stop me ?? I don't care about him being here. I would do exactly what I want. Let's go. " I caught her hand and pulled her with me.

" Mr Paul... Wait !! I am not going anywhere with you. " Srusti said.

Mr Paul?? This is too much.

" What is your problem?? You want to call Maya and Viraj all the way here but can't go with me ?? What do you want?? "

" I can go home by cab. Don't worry, sir " Just then Harry came back.

" I can drop you anywhere you want Srusti. " Harry said.

" There is no need. Please don't bother. " I said before she could say anything.

" Sir, It is not a problem. I would love to do that. "

I would love to kill you. Why is everyone after her??

" Harry, just shut up !! I don't want another word. Complete your work and go home. " I said and he looked at me weirdly and then at my hand which was holding hers.

" Ok, sir..."

I went out holding her hand, she had no choice but to follow me.

" Why didn't you take Maya's car."

" I didn't want to use their car. "

" Take mine. "

" I will manage. " She said and I rolled my eyes.

I dropped her at Maya's place and reversed my car and came back.

Srusti's POV

Oh God !!! It was such an event full day. Why was he shouting at everyone?? That model Kabir, Harry and even Sahil Ji. What's wrong with him ??

He dropped me and went away. I wanted to tell him to have food as he had barely eaten anything but I didn't as he was in a strange mood. I didn't want to argue over things. I went inside.

Di was already home, helping kids with their homework. She asked me, " Hey, I was going to call you once again if you wanted us to pick you up?? How did you come? "

" Your brother dropped me?? "

" Mohit?? How?? "

" Because I am working in his office only. "

" What?? But then how come you both didn't know that ?? "

" Because I Manyata ma'am's assistant. She hired me. "

" You are working with Manyata? "

" Ji "

" Oh !!! How was your day??

" Good... but I don't know why Mohit was so irritated... "

" Tell me everything, " Maya di said and I told her everything.

" He didn't tell them that you are his wife ?? "

Oh shit!!! I should not have said that.

" Di, he was going to tell but I stopped him. I didn't want them to give me special treatment."

" You are so sweet. My brother is an idiot. But that idiot is in love with you." She said with a cute smile. I just nodded.

If only you knew di..... He is in love with his precious Manu.

" So he didn't even eat food made by Manu?"

" Not much... "

" Wait let me call him for dinner. That idiot won't eat anything in his irritated mood," she said and I nodded and felt bad for not inviting him in when he came to drop me.
