Chapter 22

Mehul's POV



She is angry because you said that she is just a family friend. Right? " Rahul asked.

" Hmm... when we were coming back, I saw that she was very upset. I asked her about it and she got really angry and said that she was not happy to be married to me either. She was in the same situation and she assumed that I said that because I am ashamed of her and that is the reason why I didn't introduce her as my wife. She has been avoiding me like plague now. "

" Ok, so first of all, you accept it that you are her husband. Secondly, you tell all your friends loud and clear that she is your wife. In fact, do it in front of her. Nobody would judge you. They would not be your friends if they do. Go slow and steady. I saw the pain in her eyes when you said that she was just a family friend. Now, you have to change that. Make her realise, that you like her, that you want to spend time with her. " I nodded and smiled I was feeling much better now.

" By the way, do you have any idea why is she meeting Priya every day?"

" No, I have been very busy for the last 3 days. You know why... and Priya was also busy with designing her new office. I will ask her and tell you. Just take thing very slow, but it has to be positive. All the best man and welcome to the married people group. " I hugged him and smiled. It was the first time I smiled genuinely after I got married.

My phone started ringing, it was bhai I picked up the phone, " Yes Bhai... Ok, I will be there in half an hour." I told Rahul that I have to reach office.

"Well, I have to find my beautiful wife and go home. Bye "

I reached my office, Bhai and dad were waiting for me.

" Let's go Mehul we have to go and buy that showroom. Vimal is also coming as he is also interested in buying one."

We all reached there, we wanted a very big showroom so we planned to buy two adjacent showrooms. Bhai had already selected them but wanted dad and me to give our opinion.

We liked it so dad told us to go ahead. We went to the office of the mall to meet the owner. Bhai asked the owner to prepare the papers for them.

Just then I saw Vimal Bhai coming towards us. He smiled and hugged me and greeted dad.

" Please get the papers ready for me too. I like the showroom exactly opposite to theirs, I am just waiting for my partner to approve it too." He was saying this when I saw, Megha entering the office as well. What is she doing here?

" Bhai, why did you call me here?"

" So that you can help me in selecting our new showroom. Mudit and Mehul meet my partner, Megha."

"What??? " Megha was looking at her brother as if he suddenly grew two heads.

" Yes, this is going to be my wedding gift to you, my little sister. You will be my partner in this and you can have your own office here with all our best handicrafts collection. It will have everything we export. So start working, design it the way you like. It should be like a complete solution to the people who want to beautify their home. India's best handicrafts and India's best interior designer under the same roof." He hugged Megha and had that proud brother look on his face.

What ??? Megha is an interior designer?

" But Bhai, this is too big, I can't possibly handle all this." She said

" What rubbish !! You have been doing this since you were fifteen and you were not even qualified for it then, still our haveli had very good interiors. Now, you have topped your exams with flying colours. You topped your exams. You are officially, one of the best fresh interior designers. Uncle you have seen our haveli, she worked on its interiors and it recently got featured in the leading interiors book. So now get ready, you have to manage the business here in Delhi."

I liked their haveli and was impressed with its ethnic look. Was it done by Megha?

Finally, she nodded and everyone gave her a round of applause. She was blushing and was looking gorgeous.

" So, Megha you have to work very hard. Complete the project of Priya's office and showroom then you have to work on our new showrooms too. Tell us if you need anything... Capital, workers, contacts, more space... or any other help. " Dad said to her and she nodded with a smile.

So, she is designing for Priya. Great !!

********

Her phone was ringing, she picked it up and said that she is coming home in 1 hour and the things which are delivered should be kept in the storeroom.

What was she up to now?

She informed everyone that she has to go home. Bhai said, " Ok Megha, but you have to wait for some time as I sent the driver to our office. I needed some papers for this deal. "

" It is ok bhaiya I can call a cab...."

" I can drop her and come back if it is all right?" I offered and she shook her head. " You don't have to, I can manage. " She said very quickly.

" No Megha, Mehul will take you home and Mehul you don't need to drive back here. We will come home after this. Vimal is coming with us. Megha, please tell Sita to prepare all his favourite food. I am in the mood to celebrate, after all, today we bought new showrooms and you are officially an interior designer now. Your result was excellent beta, I am proud of you. " Dad was smiling.

We left the mall and went to my car, she slid into the passenger seat. I started the car and turned towards her. She was looking out of the window, I bent towards her and she was looking at me as if I have grown two heads all of a sudden.

I bent even more and stretched my hand near her face. Her eyes were as big as saucers, I pulled her side of the seatbelt and secured it in its slit. She released a breath she must have been holding.

I smiled at the fact that she gets affected by me too.

" So, congratulations! For

your result, I liked the interiors of your haveli. I thought that whoever did that had fresh ideas. You are very talented."

" Thanks," She said with a faint smile.



Megha's POV



What is wrong with him? He is behaving differently. He was so irritated outside the restaurant and now he looks friendly?? I am sure he is bipolar. My heartbeat increased 10 times when he bent towards me. I thought, he was going to touch me, but he secured my seatbelt as if I am a 5-year-old and he has been smiling since I saw him at the mall. What is he up to?

As soon as our car entered into our home I saw a truck was parked there. Mehul was getting curious about it, but I didn't want to tell him yet. I told one of our servants to take them to the store room. I looked at him and he was staring at me.

The gardener was waiting for me, as soon as l turned, he said " Ma'am, everything you asked for is here now, I have done most of the things and will do a few things in the late evening or early morning. Hopefully, by tomorrow evening most of it will be ready. "

I looked at him through her my lashes and said, " Ok, good... keep it up, I will come and see it later on."

" What is going on? There is a lot of movement in the house." He asked, but I just shrugged and went inside.
