Chapter 40

Mehul's POV



" Do you want to join us Mr... I always forget your name... Anyways do you?" I was looking at him as if daring him to say yes.



" Of course, he will join us. He came with me to shop and we are here to have lunch." She said I just nodded.



Sachin smiled and took a chair. How I wanted to wipe that smile off his face.



I ignored him and sat very close to Megha and held her hand in mine.



" So you seemed to like the food here, so what would you like to eat honey?"



Honey? When did I become so cheesy !! She is driving me insane.



I am saying and doing things, I never thought I would ever do. But Sachin looked a bit uncomfortable, at my display of affection. I was liking that.



The food arrived and we started eating. I ignored him and said, " Oh come on Megha, you are not eating properly. Let me feed you. You ought to eat more as you need energy for your work and pleasure... You were so tired last night... "



I winked at her and she almost choked on her food and she drank water. She gulped the food. Her eyes were bulging out of her sockets.



" What?? Don't give me that look. I don't want any excuses. Please eat, so that you are full of energy. We have so much to do and make up for the lost time. I missed you so much. "



Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Sachin had not even touched his food. I was loving it.



Sachin closed his eyes for a minute and opened them and finally said, " It just came to my mind, that I forgot to do something very important... I am sorry but I need to go back and now that Mr Shah is here, I can leave.



Please enjoy your food. "



I smiled at him and said, " You have not even touched your food at least have food..."



" No, it seems that I am not hungry. Bye, take care, Megha."



" Don't worry about Megha. Now that I am here, I will take care of her. After all, she is my lovely wife and she is my responsibility. MINE !! You complete the work that you were supposed to do. " I glared at him and I hope that he got my message loud and clear.



He nodded and left. I didn't want to be rude, but I don't like the way he looks at Megha or the fact that he has feelings for her. She is mine and mine alone...



Megha's POV



What was wrong with Mehul? Why was he so rude towards Sachin? Why this sudden display of affection??

" What was that?? "

" What was what, darling?? "

" Oh, please cut it short. He has gone. "

" Good riddance. " He smirked

" Why are you doing all this? " I was totally confused... What was going in his mind??

" Let's just eat, I am famished. You should also eat you are working so hard. Running from here to there."

" Why did you say all those things in front of him? What would he think about us? " I was still blushing.

" What did I say, sweetheart? You are my wife we have a right to say and do whatever we want. I don't care what he thinks. He just has to remember that you are my wife."

He held a spoonful of food in front of me but I denied to eat. He kept it there, finally, I ate it. He smiled at me.

We finished our food and went for buying the furniture.

We bought all kind of things which we wanted for both showrooms, and Mehul's and my office in the showrooms. We really enjoyed a lot. He was fun to be with. We had everything we wanted, so made the purchase and told them to deliver in 3 days.

We were sitting in our car. It was already late and we both were tired and hungry. He asked me, " What would you like to eat?? "

" Anything, I am just too tired. "

" That is why I was telling you to eat more. See, now you don't have any energy for any activity. I had planned so much... " He said.

I raised my eyebrows at him and blushed again and the very next moment he burst out laughing. I kept looking at him, he was laughing like a 5-year-old.

" What?? Why are you laughing?? "

He shook his head and kept on laughing.

" Come on... Mehul, tell me. This is not fair, you can't laugh like this and not even tell me. "

" I still remember your face, when I said all that. You chocked on your food. You were as red as a rose. you should have seen your face."

" What did you plan? Having bantered with me and trying to prove, that I am affected by you while you are totally immune to me?? " He was still laughing.

" Let's go Mehul I am really hungry."

We went to a food court in a mall and had pizza. We were enjoying it when I saw a group of people sitting at the next table. I saw Vikram and Gautam there and waved at them.

Mehul turned to see them and said hello.



Mehul's POV





We were having pizza when all of a sudden Megha waved at someone behind me. I turned to see who it was.



There were Vikram and Gautam. They came towards us.



" What a pleasant surprise !! " I said to them and hugged them.



Vikram side hugged Megha and Gautam was avoiding any eye contact with her and me. He still felt awkward because of that day.



I asked them, " Who are those people? Some of them seemed to be a bit younger than us. Most of the girls are looking at us now..."



" They follow doctors, dieticians and interns. We are here for a party one of our fellow doctors is giving as it is his birthday. " Vikram said in a bored tone looking at a certain someone in the black dress.



" Well quite a group, I must say, A few very pretty girls. Especially the one in the black dress. Beautiful !! Isn't she, Vikram? " Megha said teasing him.



Vikram just smiled and said, "Well not my type... " But somehow I felt that he was lying.



I noticed that the girl in a black dress was stealing glances at Vikram when he was not looking there.



" What about you Gautam? What is your type??? " Megha asked him smiling.



Oh, God !! This girl is hell-bent to give me tension... Gautam was already avoiding looking at us.



" N-no one. I think we should go back there, we came with them. It looks very rude if we avoid them for long." Gautam said. I nodded and he left. Vikram followed him to their table.



" Did you feel that they both were behaving a bit different today? " She said and I just nodded.



" So how about an ice-cream now? "



I asked and she nodded. We ordered the ice cream and enjoyed it. We said goodbye to Vikram and Gautam.



We came home and she changed into her nightwear. I swear, sometimes I think she does this deliberately. She was wearing a black gown. I couldn't even take my eyes off her.



Enough of the stupid idea of going slow... That idea jumped out of our window. I started walking towards her and she took a few steps back till her back was pressed with the wall. I placed both my hand on either side of her.



" So, Mrs Megha Mehul Shah... How are you feeling today? Are you alright now? I mean you are not having any dizziness? " She shook her head.



" Good. So, how about some pleasure... as you are not lacking in energy. You know, we have to catch up with the time... " She looked as if she saw a ghost.



" W-what ??? "



" What? Why are you so surprised?? I missed you so much and I know that you missed me as well. So shall we... ?? "



" You know what?? You are arrogant, unpredictable and impossible. How can we just..."



" What yaar!! I missed you so much. Why can't we have our usual banters?? I really love to have them with you. Come on Megha, it has been so long, that we fought like that."



" W-what? Y-you were talking about our fights? "



" Of course....what did you think, I was talking about? "



" Ughh... you are impossible. "



" Tell me, what did you think, I was talking about? " I smirked at her. She pushed me on my shoulders and tried to get away but I pulled her towards me.



" Nothing, just leave me. "



" No, I don't want to... You know, you are looking very se... I mean very beautiful, right now... "



" Oh!! Do you want to say that you are getting affected by me now? " She asked with a smirk.



" Maybe... " I caught her hair in one of my hands and kissed on her neck and then just below her ear.



" Maybe?? " She asked in a very low and husky voice.



" Hell, yes. I am affected by you, as much as you are.0 I want you as well. I want to have you in my life. " With that, I placed my lips on hers and tighten my arms around her. She was so shocked.
