Chapter 31

Sandhya's POV



I was so happy to see Vidhi. If only she had told me that she was coming, we would not have gone to Gautam Ji's place.

Vidhi seemed to be lost in her

thoughts for a few times, what was she thinking?

She had changed a bit since that incident with Dhruv. I doubted that Vidhi had some kind of feelings for Shubh. While I was almost sure Shubh liked her the moment she fell on him for the first time.

I had seen that chemistry between them. I had seen them stealing glances at each other. I had seen how excited she was around Shubh.

I was thinking some way to call Shubh as well. But then by chance, he also came to meet us that day. I think it was god's way to make sure that they meet. Maybe... just maybe, they were meant for each other.

Manu had gone to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks for Shubh and I also went away to the kitchen because I could feel the thick tension between them. I wanted to leave them alone.

After some time we made snacks and tea and sent manu with snacks while I was pouring tea in cups.

I was about to go there but Manu stopped me.

" Wait bhabhi... "

" What happened? "

" Bhabhi, is there anything between them?? "

" Why are you asking that?? "

" When I reached, there, I saw them arguing like a couple. Shubh Ji was holding her forearm and looked irritated, while she seemed to be explaining. They did not even look at me so I came back to the kitchen." She said. I was smiling like anything.

" They were awkward in presence of each other and are arguing like... " she said again.

" A couple?? I had my doubt. But I was not sure. They have always been like this. They like each other but are always fighting. I have to bring them together. I can't see my two favourite people fighting. Let's go... "

I went towards the living room and she followed me.

" Shubh, see I got your favourite, Matar Kachori. "

" Wow! Great. " He said. They both looked tensed. The doorbell rang again and Vidhi ran towards the door. Maybe she wanted to get away from him.

I would have to talk to Vikram about it.

******

I was standing in front of the mirror combing my hair, I was still thinking about how to bring up the matter to Vikram. He was very emotional about his sister.

I knew he liked Shubh a lot, but to hear me say that I think he liked her... I was not sure about it. I had some inhibitions but it was an important issue, which needed to be handled now but with utter care.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I did not even realise when Vikram came to our room and took me in his arms.

He buried his face in the crook of my neck and his hands started getting naughty.

" Um... Vikram leave me ... I need to talk to you." I tried to get out of his arms. But he would not be him if he would let me get out of his arms.

" Not now Sweetheart... I am hungry now. "

" Hungry?? Ok leave me, I will get something for you. " he shook his head and closed his eyes and then laughed.

" Oh my beautiful wife, think beyond food. Do you think I am thinking about food right now?? I don't need anything else. I just want you... "

" Vikram please be serious... "

" I am a very serious baby... Oh !! How about we start making babies? "

" Vikram !!! Enough !! Please listen to me. It is very very important. "

" Right now?? " He asked

" Yes... "

" Seriously?? Can't we talk later on ??"

" No... " I said and he loosened his arms.

" It better be important wife, or you would have to pay the fine. "

" It is important Vikram... Now be serious. "

" Don't tell me, we already made a baby... "

" Will you stop please?? "

" Ok... Go ahead ... Tell me, what is more, important than me making sweet passionate love to my lovely wife... "

" First you promise me that you would not get angry... And you will listen to me carefully and with a cool mind and will think about it before reacting. "

" What is Sandhya? You are scaring me. "

" First you promise me, that you would not get angry with anyone or me. And you would think about it with a cool mind. "

" Sandhya !!! "

" No... Promise. "

" Hell, I am already getting angry... "

" Then forget it... "

" Ok... Do you think, I would get angry after you tell me?? "

" I am not sure... "

" Is it related to you? "

" Yes, and it is related to you too. "

" Is it bad?? I mean how do you feel about it? Did you get angry? "

" Well, I was not at all angry. "

" Then why would I be?? "

" Can't you simply promise me that you would not be angry? " I was annoyed with him and said in an angry tone.

" Ok Sweetheart !! Don't get angry, I promise. Ok? Now tell me. "

" Ok, so what do you think about Shubh?? "

" Sandhya, I am getting angry now... "

" What ?? Why?? "

" Was that your important matter? I mean, I was in such a romantic mood and you needed to ask me, what I think about your brother?? "

" You are impossible... I don't want to talk to you. "

" Why are you angry?? "

" I am serious Vikram... "

" Ok... Don't you know, that I really like him? He is a very good man. So?? "

" So, I think, he likes someone for a long time. " I said but his hand was around my waist now.

" Is it ?? Wow !! She must be someone special... " he said.

" She is... And I think that she likes him too... I am almost sure about it. I saw all the signs. "

" That's great... What is the problem?? Wait !! Why did you make me promise that I would not get angry? How is this related to me ? " he asked.

" You think, Shubh is a nice man?? "

" Yeah..."

" Do you think he would love and take care of the girl? "

" No doubt about that... Enough of you asking questions. Now answer my question. Why would I get angry if Shubh likes a girl ?? "

" Because that girl is... Vidhi. " I said hesitantly.

" WHAT ???? " he got up from the bed like a Diwali rocket.

" Relax Vikram... Please don't be angry. You promised... " I said going near him.

" What did you say ?? "

" You promised ??? " I placed a hand on the heart of my heart specialist. It was beating frantically.

" Who is the girl?? " he asked again with his eyes narrowed at me.

" Um... Vidhi.. "

" What ?? How ?? When ?? How come I don't know about it? "

" Vikram please don't be angry... Shubh... Didn't say anything.... "

I was saying and he sealed my lips with his. I was shocked.

" Seriously ?? " He looked at me and asked with a smile.

I was shocked as hell. I kept looking at him.

" Sandhya?? "

" Yeah..."

" Are you sure? "

" What ?? "

" That they like each other?? "

" Hmmm. Are you ok?? "

" I am ok... I am really happy, about it. Why did you think that I would be angry ?? Are you crazy? Or do you think I am crazy that I would be angry with such a piece of good news? "

" You are happy about it?? "

" Undoubtedly... Which sane person would be angry to know that such a sensible and responsible man like Shubh likes his sister. I am not that insane. "

" I love you ... I am so happy. "

" I love you too... So, let's make babies now. "

" Vikram... You have such a one-track mind. Hold your horses. We have to bring them together. Both of them are idiots, they are in love and hiding their feelings. I saw how he liked Vidhi in the very first meeting, but I don't know, why he hides it? "

" Are you sure?? "

" Yes "

" And Vidhi ?? "

" She likes him too. Today when they both were alone in the living room...... Manu also felt so and she asked me about them. "

" Great !! So how do we do it?? "

" Let's talk to them, one by one. And then after that, we must tell our families and fix their wedding. "

" Awesome... Wow !! You are my beauty with brains... I love you. We will do that from tomorrow... For now, I have something better in my mind..."

He said and pulled me in his arms.

We both were happy and excited for them. Now we would have to bring them together. They would be going to Jodhpur tomorrow...

I have to talk to him before that.
