Chapter 42

Shubh's POV



It had been 3 days since Vikram Ji called. Both Vidhi and I were trying to contact them but they always seemed to be busy. Their phone were either switched off or they were too busy to talk to us.

He just called and in

structed me to get Vidhi to Delhi but before I could say anything, he said there was a network problem.

He said that he had prepared for everything. Everything was ready if Vidhi and Samar liked each other.

Over my dead body. It was enough. Today I have to put my point across. Why can't Vikram Ji see what his friend saw in me??

If I was good for Swati, why not for Vidhi?? Enough is enough...

Vidhi was very upset, she was getting paranoid.

" Shubh, do something, I don't want to get married to that Samar... And I would kill you if you even think about Swati..."

" I would not let that happen. "

" But... "

" Trust me Vidhi... "

" But what if our families pressurise us to get married to them? "

" No, we have to tell them. "

" Shubh, Swati is very pretty, I hope you would still want to get married to me after meeting her. "

" Don't you trust me Vidhi... I have feelings only for you. I have never even given a second look to another girl. But what if you like that Lawyer??"

" No, I won't... You are serious about me?? "

" Of course. "

" Ok... But If bhai try to force us, we will elope from there. "

" What?? No !! Never !! "

" See you are already backing out. "

" I am not backing out Vidhi, I am refusing to do that because I am not going to elope with you like a coward. "

" I will not marry him. If anything like happens I would rather kill myself. "

" Don't be foolish... Don't even dare to think like that ... "

" Why are you getting angry at me?? You don't love me, you keep scolding me. "

" Ok sorry... I am not scolding you. I love you Vidhi. How would you feel if I say the same thing in front of you? "

" Hmmm... but I would not like to live my life without you. Promise me you would not let me get married to him. If such a situation arises, we will run away from our home. Or... "

" No Vidhi that is wrong... It is unethical and inappropriate. "

" Or I would kidnap you... Is that proper?? " she said.

" What ?? How would you do that?? " I smiled at the thought.

" At a gunpoint... What else did you think, that I would throw you over my shoulder like a caveman and elope?"

" Awww...it was great to imagine that. " He laughed.

" It is not funny Shubh ... "

" Do you have a gun ?? "

" We have at home now don't make fun of me or I will kill you instead of kidnapping. " I shook my head, she was so childish.

We reached Delhi and I called him. He asked me to come to a hotel as there was a change in the plan because of some family emergency. So Sagar Ji wanted that meeting to happen today itself.

What was going on?? Why were they rushing so much??

I had to finish it today itself. " Vikram Ji, I need to tell you... "

" Ok, Shubh. I know your apprehensions. But please I can't talk now. They would come here anytime, I have to see to so many things being Vidhi's brother. I am not as dedicated as you are but still, I have to see to the arrangements. Come fast, rooms have been booked for you to relax and get ready. Bye see you later, I have to go... " He said and disconnected the call.

I tried calling Sandy but she also said that she was busy in arranging everything. She said she had so much work. As she was my sister and Vidhi's bhabhi and both of us were going to meet our prospective life partners. She did not even let me speak.

When did she start talking so much??

Had both of them gone crazy?? They were too busy to talk to Vidhi or me.

I saw Sandy and I caught her hand and pulled her aside. But before I could talk to her, Vikram ji came and he asked me to go and get ready and took her with him saying that he had some urgent work.

" But I have to tell you something. "

" Later on..." He said and was about to go out of the room assigned to me.

" I can't meet this girl... I am in love with someone. " I said and they both turned.

" What?? "

" I am in love with... " he interrupted me.

" Great!! And I am the president of India... For god's sake Shubh, Stop giving excuses and get ready. I am getting angry now. Sagar has come with both of them. "

He said and went out along with Sandy.

What the hell ??? Why was he not even listening to me??

I changed my clothes because my clothes had wrinkles due to travelling and went to meet Vidhi. Maybe she had managed to talk to any of them.

I knocked on her door and she opened the door.

" Oh !! You got ready?? It seems you are very eager to meet her... Isn't it??"

" Vidhi !! Stop it. And why are you looking so beautiful?? You want him to like you instantly?? "

" Bhai told me to get ready but he rushed out before I could say anything. Let's not fight over it."

" Hmmm... Calm down and think, I tried telling your brother but he thought that I was kidding or trying to get out of this situation. "

" Let's run away from here... " She said.

" What ??? No... I would not do that. What would our families think about it?? They would be humiliated and would never forgive us. There would be bloodshed between the families. I would not do that. We have to tell them the truth."

" Don't worry I will take the blame by kidnapping you. "

" Please Vidhi, grow up... I am not in this plan. "

" Yeah... because Swati is better than me ... She is a very good cook as well and you love food."

" Oh please my clumsy beauty, I don't want another girl in my life even if she is Ms Universe. I love you... "

" So come with me, I will tell bhai that I kidnapped you. "

" For God's sake...Vidhi, I am at least 7 inches taller than you and I weight almost one and a half times more than you?? How are you going to kidnap me?? Who would believe you?? "

" Are you coming or shall I marry that Samar?? "

" This is not fair, this is sheer blackmail. Stop saying that, I hate it."

" I don't care if it is a black male or white female... Everything is fair in love and war. "

" Stupid joke... "

" Come with me or I am going alone..."

" This is not proper... Our families will be humiliated.... " she kissed me on my lips.

" Shut up, please... " She said.

What do I do with her???

" Ok let me go out and see if the coast is clear... Ok ?? " I said and she nodded.

I came out of her room and was looking around when I saw Sandhya coming towards me with a broad smile. I will tell her everything or vidhi may elope or kidnap me.

" Wow, Shubh !!! Looking very good. That girl Swati is so lucky, she would be too happy to meet you. " She said sweetly.

It seems everyone had lost it. I have not said yes to her. And I would never do it. And I won't let that lawyer even look at my vidhi.

" Sandhya, can I talk to you? "

" Regarding what?? "

" Vidhi and I want to tell you something. Let me call her... "

" Oh no... Not now... Vikram asked me to see if she is ready or if she needs something. She is getting ready. You got ready but girls take more time to get ready. But she is really looking very pretty. That man would only be able to say yes only. . "

" NO !!! "

" No?? Why do you think so?? "

" Nothing !!! You know how I feel fo..."

Just then Vikram ji came and he smiled at me and Sandhya.

" You are looking very handsome my dear brother-in-law... " he said.

Yes... I want to be your brother-in-law from another way too.

But before I could say anything, Vikram ji went inside her room and came out with one of his arms on Vidhi's shoulder. She was looking tensed and her eyes were very sad.

" Look Sandhya, isn't she looking like a real princess?? "

" Absolutely. Samar would not be able to even blink. " Sandy said.

I will take out his eyes if he looks at my Vidhi...

" Vikram Ji we can't go in there... Please listen, there is no point, I am in love with... " I was saying but his phone started ringing. He picked it up and said he is coming.

" Let's go, Sagar and Damini are waiting with Samar and Swati. " He started walking along with Sandy and Vidhi.

Oh, no !!!!
