Chapter 42
Megha's POV
Everyone seemed to like the interiors a lot. The showrooms were so big and had everything one could think of were there.
Both the showrooms had one office each. One for me and another for Mehul.
Mehul's POV
There were so many people. All our friends, families, business associates, buyers or customers. My friends were also there. Sagar was there and somehow he did not look sad in fact, he was very happy. I was so happy to see him like this. He congratulated us and hugged me.
" What is the matter, Sagar? Is there anything you want to share? " I asked and he smiled.
" I found her... " He smiled and his face lit up.
" What?? How ?? Wow!! I am so happy for you. You have been looking for her for so long. So did you tell her ? "
" Not yet. But very soon I will..." Sagar smiled.
" I wish you all the best. May you win her heart. "
" I will... I will not let her go this time. I can't afford to lose her and a few more years of my life. "
I hugged him and Megha smiled and wished him.
Rahul and Priya were still on their honeymoon, we were missing them. Gautam just joined us with a beautiful girl at his side... Great!!
" Hi! You are late Gautam. I see that you have a friend with you, may we have the honour to meet her? " I asked him as he was looking normal too after a long time. The usual awkwardness we had recently between us was not there.
" Sure!! Maurvi, he is Mehul my friend and his wife Megha." She said hello to both of us. She seemed to be a very beautiful, confident, innocent like a child and bubbly personality.
"And, She is Maurvi. My girlfriend " He said smiling. What was going on??
" What?? When did that happen? Why didn't you tell us?" I asked so many questions. I was so happy for him as well.
" It happened just like that. We didn't even get to know. Though we are just in the initial stage of our relationship." Gautam replied with a smile and looked at her, she smiled shyly.
" We are very glad to know that. Do you know Sagar found her? " I asked him
" Seriously?? Wow !! Great man. He must be on cloud nine. Where is he?"
" He has gone to see the showrooms," I replied.
" Congratulations to both of you. Megha, you have done them so nicely. They are massive and magnificent. " Megha just smiled and said thanks.
" Where is Vikram? You are always together. Why is he still not here?"
" He seems to be a bit distracted these days. Since the new interns have joined the hospital. Something has changed. I can't point it out and he is not telling me. " Gautam told us.
I also felt that he was behaving differently when we met at the mall that day.
Bhai was calling Megha and me, so we excused ourselves and told them to enjoy themselves.
We went where everyone else was. A few people wanted to meet Megha and I was also needed at our showroom. There were some friends of our dad who wanted to buy some exclusive jewellery designs for his daughter's wedding, which we just introduced. I helped them choose everything they wanted.
People were appreciating the designs, varieties we had, the showroom, interiors everything. Vikram was also here he congratulated me and asked me about Megha. I told him that she was busy in her showroom as everyone was asking about her.
I wanted to be with her so I went to her showroom and saw that she was talking to a few people who wanted her as their interior designer.
She talked to them and when they left... she looked at me. I went near her and wrapped my arm around her waist. We were still looking at each other. I wanted to take her away from here and have her to myself. I had planned something for us.
" Megha, I wa..."
" Um... Excuse me... But I need you there."
I was about to tell her that I wanted to take her somewhere when that irritating... Useless... Pathetic... good for nothing... man came to interrupt us. Today is going to be his last day on this planet. I really will kill him.
" What is it Sachin? " Megha asked.
" Whatever it is, you are not going. And you Mr... Whatever your name is. Go and manage the things on your own or you will not manage anything here from now onwards. Did you understand Mr Manager? Now please go and leave me and my wife alone. "
" But, it is important. Megha, if you..." He looked at her and said.
" OH GOD !!! Can't you manage anything? Ok ! Megha, just go and see what is the matter. I will come in 5 minutes."
I was so irritated that I went in search of Vimal Bhai. He was standing with Mudit Bhai.
" Vimal Bhai, can I ask you for a favour, please? " I asked him. He smiled and said, " Anything. Just name it. "
" Please, fire that manager, Sachin."
" Ok, but why?" Mudit Bhai whispered something near his ear and he smiled.
" He keeps irritating us all the time. He doesn't know anything about work. Just keeps calling Megha all the time. "
" Ok, If you say so. Do whatever you want. " He said and all of a sudden both him and Mudit bhai burst out laughing.
" Why are you both laughing?"
" Because you are so cute my little brother. You are getting possessive over Megha. That's all." I shook my head. But they kept smiling. It was useless to talk to them right now so I left. I heard them laugh loudly.
I saw that Megha was looking very angry, while Sachin was saying something to her. Why was she angry? I was going there, someone stopped me and congratulated me. I said thanks and started walking again.
I was still a bit far off when I saw that he held her hand and Megha slapped him hard with her other hand. Megha was really angry and she said, " You can't work here anymore. Please leave. I don't want to see your face. " She had tears in her eyes.
What the hell????
I rushed to her in 2 seconds. She was shaking with anger. I was red with rage. I punched him hard. How dare he touch my wife. I punched him many times, but then someone caught me in strong arms.
Sagar was holding me tightly. I tried to escape but Mudit Bhai told me to stop. I saw that Mudit Bhai and Vimal Bhai were also here.
" What are you doing, Mehul? "
Megha was crying now. Vimal Bhai had her in his arms.
" How dare he touch Megha? "
" What?? " Both Vimal and Mudit bhai were very angry at him. Vimal Bhai slapped him hard. He shouted at him, " How dare you to touch my sister? I gave you this job, as I thought that you were a good person. You get out of here before I call the police." Vimal Bhai caught his hand and dragged him out of there.
" Mehul you take her home. We will handle everything here. Megha are you all right?" Mudit Bhai said and she nodded. I held her hand and led her to the car parking.
" I want you to come on a date with me. Will you please come? Please... " I asked and she nodded.
She was still so sad. I drove her home. She looked at me and asked, " But you wanted me to go somewhere with you. So why are we home?"
" We are going there but for that, I need to blindfold you. Ok? " She raised one of her eyebrows and after a couple of seconds said, " Ok... "
I blindfolded her and took her to the place where I had already made arrangements.
