Chapter 40

Vidhi's POV



I stayed with my friend and worked continuously to keep my mind off him. We both completed the assignment. There was some emergency in her family so they all had to go somewhere so I had to go home.

I drove back to my place and as soon as I parked my car at our home, someone caught my hand and pulled me aside.

I was about to scream when I saw that it was Shubh. I glared at him.

" What was that Vidhi?? " he was absolutely annoyed. It seemed that he had not slept a wink last night.

" What?? " I said calmly.

" What did you say last night?? That I was unsure about us?? That I should forget about you? Are you crazy?? How could you bang the phone on me like that? "

" Oh, so you are angry about that?? It was late, Mr Shekhawat... And someone said that I must not talk to any man at that time. "

" So I am any man to you now ?? "

" You have always been most important to me but you only said, it was not proper. "

" I am serious Vidhi... "

" So am I Mr Shekhawat. "

" Are you deliberately trying to irritate me? Why are you being so formal? Since we have met you have always called me Shubh and now that we are in a relationship... "

" Are we?? "

" What?? "

" In a relationship?? It seems it is just me who is. "

" Why are you saying it? "

" it's true... You can't even accept your feelings for me. I am the only one who has to tell bhai that I can't marry the man he selected as I love someone else. And when he would ask me his name, I would not be able to tell him. "

" No... It's not like that... We will talk to your brother together. "

" When?? Why not now??

" Vidhi, we have to tell him face to face. He would get annoyed like this."

" You are just making excuses to buy time. "

" No... but it looks so idiotic to tell him on phone. He would get angry. "

" Of course I am an idiot, who could only think of idiotic ideas. I don't want to talk to you. It's my battle, I will handle it. I didn't know that you are so coward. Bye " I turned to go but he pulled me back.

" No... What do you mean it's your battle. I told you, we would talk to him as soon as I go back. "

" Actually leave it... I think I must get married to that man my... " I could not even finish the sentence and the rest of my words were lost as he claimed my lips with his. He kissed me roughly as if he wanted to punish my lips for saying that. But I kind of liked the kiss a lot and then he left my mouth abruptly. I was still angry with him.

" How can you say that?? " he was so angry.

" leave me, I hate you... You were right, we are not meant for each other. I don't understand you and you don't understand me. Leave me and go home. All you think about is you and your sister. What about my feelings? I was never important in your life. So, I agree that you were right. I am sorry I wasted your time. Goodbye. " I turned and twisted in his arms to get out of his grip but he was holding me very tight.

" Vidhi... I love you... You are very important to me. I just wanted to talk to him face to face. I wanted to look into his eyes while I tell him how much I love you. I was not buying time. As a brother, I would have never appreciated a man, who claimed to love my sister but could not even face me. Your brother told me about his feelings for my sister while looking into my eyes. I could clearly see that his feelings were true. I want to do the same. I want him to know that I love his sister with everything in me. I want to say this while looking into his eyes so that he could see my sincerity. "

" You are making it all now... "

" No, It is absolutely true. I had gone to talk to him about my feelings for you the very next day of their wedding. "

" Now that is absolutely rubbish. "

" No... I was going crazy to see that idiot Raichand, roaming around and flirting with you. I thought that I must tell him that I had feelings for you. But then I saw all his friends around him. He asked me to come for sightseeing and all that happened. "

" Are you telling a lie to pacify me? "

" Trust me... Sandhya told me that a marriage alliance had come for you. I was just too shocked to hear that. I could not even think of you with anyone else. You were mine. I was shaken up with that reality. Before that, I knew that I was attracted to you but I tried to suppress my feelings. But the mere thought of you being with someone else gave me so much pain that I decided to go and confess my feelings for you to your brother. "

" Why to him?? Why not to me?? Who confess about his feelings towards a girl to her brother first?? "

" But you were not even talking to me. Remember?? I was feeling very guilty that your brother completely trusted me with you. I didn't want him to feel that I breeched his trust. I wanted to tell him that my feelings were absolutely honourable towards you. "

" Awww... Seriously?? " I asked him and he caressed my cheeks with the back of his hand. And was looking at me so lovingly.

" I had gone to meet him to warn him off that cheap man and tell my feelings for you. But all that happened and thought that you hated me. I also thought that as you and I were so different from each other, you would never be happy with me. I didn't want to trap you in a loveless relationship. I didn't want to tell you or your brother about my feelings. So I decided to stay away from you. And as my exams were coming, it was the best excuse. I buried my self under my books."

" How could you... ? "

" We are different so I interpret your actions differently and you did the same. We didn't understand each other.

" If this is the case, why didn't you tell him yesterday when he was talking to you?? "

" Because till then, I didn't know that this cute devil loved me back. "

" You called me devil?? "

" Hmm.. a cute one. "

" Go to hell... "

" Let's go to hell, my cute little devil." he winked at me and bent his head to kiss me but I pushed his face.

" Don't try to be cute, it doesn't suit you. Mr Arrogant. "

" Arrogant ?? Me?? "

" Who else.."

" You are my clumsy beauty too... "

" See how arrogant you are, I agree that I am clumsy, but it really bad of you to say it on my face. I hate you. "

" I hate you too. " He said and placed his lips on mine. My eyes got closed on my own. His lips were moving against mine in a very sensual manner. It was very romantic. I was enjoying his kiss. He licked my lower lip and I opened my mouth to give access to him. He immediately tilted my face to get better access to my mouth and deepened the kiss.

He loosened his grip when we were short of breath. He leaned his forehead against mine. And then took a deep breath and caressed my face with a big rough hand

" listen beautiful, so from now on, we have a rule that we will say whatever is in our mind and will try to make our point of view clear to the other one. Is that fine with you?? "

" Hmmm "

" Don't ever bang your phone on me. I was so tensed for the whole night. "

" Tit for tat... You also did the same on your birthday. "

" Sorry about that... Don't ever avoid me again. I feel like life is worthless. " he said.

" Now do you know, how I felt whenever you avoided me? "

" Hmm "

" Good... "

" Say that you love me... " he demanded.

" I am not in a mood right now. "

" Say it, or I won't leave you. "

" Ok...do what you want. "

" What if someone comes out?? "

" Doesn't matter."

" Say it please... "

" I love you, Shubh "

" I love you too... Now say that you are mine. "

" I am your's "

" You would not even look at that most eligible lawyer. "

" I won't... "

" Good," he said and pulled me even more into him.
