Chapter 32

Vidhi's POV



The dinner was over and I just wanted to get away from there. So I came to my room. Manu came to me once they all went away.

She came inside and stood in front of me but I didn't want to talk to her as I was annoyed with her for not telling me anything.

" Vidhi, I would have told you everything today. " she said.

" Why didn't you say anything yesterday... and when did you got married?? You didn't even bother to invite me... Forget about inviting, you didn't even bother to tell me. " I said in an irritated tone.

" Calm down... Even I didn't know anything. Dad decided it for me. " She said and told me everything as to why and how she got married.

" Oh, God !! Now what?? Do you like him?? He seemed to be very possessive about you. " I said to her.

" I don't know... I am confused as hell. I kind of like him, but he was a certified casanova. " She said.

" Was... Right? I think he loves you. " I said with a smile.

" Love ??? No. Like maybe..." she said shaking her head.

" Ok, if you think so, but I think he loves you, he could have beaten Shubh for holding your hand. Well, my jiju is handsome and Possessive. " I smiled.

" What about Shubh Ji?? He seemed very interested in talking to you... I saw the way he was holding you when bhabhi and I were in the kitchen. " she said and I blushed a bit.

" I don't understand him... He is like a riddle, I am trying to solve it. He doesn't speak much. We are totally opposite of each other. "

" I think he likes you too... "

" I don't think so... He keeps scolding me."

" Maybe it's his way of showing that he cares. "

" I saw him with another girl in the hotel twice. She hugged him. " I said.

I don't know, but when he thought in the kitchen that it was you and turned me with force, he was desperate to talk to you. He said - Why are you doing this?? " She said.

" I don't know... What is going in his mind? " I said.

We kept talking about our lives and the situation we were in. She told me everything, she was like a friend to me. I suggested her to loosen up a bit.

We slept talking to each other.



Shubh's POV



I was speeding towards Vikram ji's place. I was happy and tensed at the same time. Happy, because I would get to spend at least 10 hours alone with her. And I was in tension as it would be very difficult to control my emotions for so long.

I reached there and rang the doorbell. The door opened and I saw Sandhya's smiling face. She hugged me hard.

" Shubh, I need to talk to you. "

" Yeah, say whatever you want to say," I said. She caught my hand and took me to her garden.

Garden?? Why ?? What was going on her mind?

" What is it, Sandy?? Tell me... "

" What do you think about Vidhi?? " She asked and I looked away.

" Vidhi? Why are you asking?"

" Don't answer my questions with another question, tell me !! "

" She is a nice girl... "

" Shubh stop this nonsense right now and tell me what is going on between two of you? "

" What?? There is nothing... "

" Seriously?? Now you are hiding things from me?? "

" There is nothing between us. We are not even on talking terms. "

" I can see the tension between you two. You are not talking but you are dying to talk to each other yet denying it. Tell me what is going on??"

" There is no tension.... "

" Don't lie to me, I know you very well. I saw that little exchange between the two of you day before yesterday when I had gone to prepare tea. Yesterday also you seemed to be avoiding each other. I came to know that you even went to the kitchen to talk to her. Will, you still lie to me?? " she said and I took a very deep breath.

" I don't know... She is behaving weirdly. She thinks that I deliberately avoided her and I hate her for slapping me that day. "

" Which is not true... You don't hate her... Because I know that you have feelings for her. "

" No... I don't have. " I said.

She held my hand and put it on her head and said, " Swear it on me, Shubh. Now repeat that you don't have feelings for her. " I snatched my hand away from her head.

" What happened?? I know you like her a lot, in fact, you love her. What is the problem?? Why are you behaving like this?? "

" It doesn't matter, what I feel. I don't think we are meant to be together. "

" Would you care to explain?? I don't understand your point. " I said glaring at him.

" We are like day and night... We would not be able to agree on one thing. We don't understand each other, she is too friendly for my introvert nature. She would be suffocated with me. "

" Who are you to decide on her behalf?? Tell her your feelings, tell her your inhibitions then let her also decide. It's her life too. It should be your combined decision."

" But we have nothing in common... We would not be able to adjust. "

" That is utter nonsense of you to say, that you would not be able to adjust with each other as you are poles apart in nature. You both need to do just a bit of adjustment. "

" But... "

" Don't you know that opposites always attract each other?? Don't forget the attraction between you? It is a very driving force. "

" I don't know, I don't think it is a good idea... She doesn't even like me. I think she likes someone else. I don't want to talk about this, Sandhya. "

" What is your problem?? Why can't you tell a girl that you like her? Let her decide what she wants. How can you assume things on your own? Maybe she has feelings for you. "

" Try and understand sandy, it will complicate things between you and Vikram Ji. "

" How?? And why?? "

" She is his sister, he might feel annoyed that I harboured such feelings for his sister. "

" Harboured such feelings ??? You love her. You have honourable feelings for her. Why would Vikram be annoyed with that?? He likes you a lot. "

" What if he does, what if he gets annoyed with it? It would reflect in your relationship too. "

" You are wrong, Bhai. He is going to be very happy if he gets to know about your feelings. Please tell her about your feelings. I can't see my two favourite people sulking like that."

" But... "

" No buts... Vikram and I are also different. Rahul and Priya are different. Sahil and Manu are different. Still, they are in love. I agree you are like day and night. But then the attraction between you two can not be denied. "

" Sandy... "

" Love is most important in married life. If you love a person enough, then you don't even need to take efforts to do the adjustment, it happens naturally. Just accept the person as she or he is. "

" Hey !!! What are you both doing here?? Why didn't you ask him to come in? " Vikram Ji was coming towards us.

" Just like that... " Sandy said glaring at me.

We greeted each other...

" Sandhya please see if Vidhi is ready or not. I need to talk to him. " He said to Sandy. They exchanged a look, but I didn't understand it. They were communicating through their eyes. What was going on??

Finally, she nodded and went inside.

" Shubh, I would come straight to the point. Ok? " I asked and I nodded but my heartbeat had increased.

" Shubh, do you have anyone special in your life? "

Oh shit !! What was happening today?? Both of them are interested in my love life... Why??

" As in? " I asked as I needed time to think.

" As in... A girlfriend?? "

" Girlfriend?? No... "

" Great !! Shubh, you remember meeting my friend Sagar yesterday?"

" Yes... "

" He has a younger sister, he was looking for a good man for her. Yesterday he saw you and liked you a lot. He wants me to fix a meeting between you and her. "

" What ??? "
