Chapter 28

Gautam's POV



It was Saturday and as we decided we had to go to Mehul's farm house for two days. I packed my over night bag and got ready very fast as I was very excited for this trip.



Maurvi would have to spend two days with me pretending to be my girlfriend. She was really good at it. Even I felt a few times that she was in love with me. I knew that she was just acting but I love every minute of it.



I really wish It was true. But nevertheless I have decided that I will make her my girlfriend for real. I know there were many obstacles in that path, but I intend to have her for myself. I will make her fall for me. I can't bear to imagine her with anyone else.



Vikram called me and we decided to share the car, so that we could enjoy more.



I went to her place to see if she was ready or not. She was getting ready when I rang the bell. She was wearing a beautiful mauve coloured dress and was looking amazing, very pretty, cute, bubbly, innocent... Oh God !!! She drives me crazy .



She just wore a cute pair of earrings and added a few things in her bag. She picked her overnight bag and we came out. I took her bag from her and She locked her home.



Vikram and Sandhya came. We all greeted each other and Sandhya and Maurvi slid into the back seat and I had to sit on the front passenger seat. Vikram kept looking at Sandhya in the mirror. He was about to bang in another car.



" Vikram, stop the car right now. " I said to him a bit strongly.



" Why? What happened ? "



" You are not concentrating on driving. You keep looking at her in the mirror. We need to reach there in one piece. You have your whole life to look at her, for god sake. You just sit here and look at your pretty fiance and let me drive. " I said looking at both of them. He smiled and Sandhya was blushing profusely.



We changed the seats and I started driving the car. After a few minutes my eyes got drifted towards Maurvi. She was looking out of her window humming the song which was playing on the car music system. It was an old romantic song as usual. It was mesmerizing to see her lost in her own world. She was totally oblivious of the fact that I was looking at her.



" .... Gautam " I heard Vikram saying something to me.



" What?? "



" I said stop the car. What are you thinking? You are lost, not even aware of your surroundings. You are neither looking ahead towards the road and nor are you listening."



" What nonsense.... I am looking ahead only"



" Um hum? Ok, then don't tell me that you have become illiterate all of a sudden. "



" What?? What is wrong with you?"



" What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you? If you were looking ahead, you couldn't have missed that board saying that this road is closed. Either you were looking at a certain someone or you have become illiterate all of a sudden who can not read big boards with road instructions."



" So, I missed it, it is not a big issue. It can happen to anyone."



" Correction bro... It can happen to some love sick puppy who was looking at his beautiful girlfriend in the back mirror. " I looked at Maurvi and as usual instead of her a tomato was sitting there looking downwards.



" Oh, shut up Vikram!! And let me continue. "



" No stop the car. Maurvi please get out of the car. Let's switch the seats."



" What ?? Why?? No, I am fine sitting in the backseat with Sandhya. " Tomato replied turning more red.



" No dear, you need to sit beside him otherwise this sweet idiot will keep looking back and I don't want to die so young. Abhi to meri shadi bhi nahin hui.....( I am still to get married yaar). " Vikram said.



I looked at Sandhya and now she became red like a beetroot.



What is wrong with these girls. They turn red so quickly.



" Please Maurvi, save four lives dear. Our lives are in your dainty hands. "



By god, this Vikram is so good at it. He keeps finding excuses to be with Sandhya. Smart.... Now I know why he was making, hill out of mole. He was creating a scene just to be with Sandhya.



I smiled and looked at him and he winked at me when he slid into the back seat just behind me.



My tomato slid into the front seat beside me but did not look at me even for a second.



We all reached the farm house. It was mesmerizing just like a little heaven. All four of them were already there. We all greeted each other.



We all removed our overnight bags and went to the rooms assigned to us to keep our stuff and freshen up. Maurvi and Sandhya went to their room and Vikram and I went to ours.



We all came out where brunch was served, all of us were very hungry so we enjoyed the food a lot. We kept laughing and teasing each other.



We all missed Sagar. Mehul asked him to come but he said that he is stuck somewhere and would not be able to come. Vikram called him to invite for his wedding. He said he would definitely come.



This place was ideal for outdoor activities. All the couples strolled around the place. It had many beautiful settings. A big swimming pool. a beautiful artificial pond... Everything looked like a landscape.



We all enjoyed a tour around the place. Then we came and settled in another beautiful sitting arrangements.



All the girls sat together gossiping about fashion, movies etc. Mehul and Rahul were sharing their marriage experiences as according to them they were preparing Vikram and me for our respective married lives in future.



They were telling us to be strong otherwise the wives would rule the marriage forever and Rahul was nodding.



Megha raised her eyebrows and asked, " Do you mind repeating that darling... I didn't hear properly. " She was speaking very sweetly but we all knew how feisty she was.



" Nothing beautiful, I didn't say anything at all. Did I say anything friends? " he asked us with pleading eyes.



" Yes, you and Rahul were saying that we must be strict with our wives just as they do... as otherwise they would rule us forever. He was giving the example of yourself and saying that he is so strict that his wife... I mean you are really scared of him. " I said sweetly.



" Is that what you said darling?" She asked in a sugar coated voice.



" Not at all beautiful, How can I say that... Everyone knows, I love you so much... " Mehul said.



" Will you do me a favour darling? " Megha again said sweetly.



" Anything for you, love... " He was grinning like a fool.



" Pack your bag and share the room with Rahul bhai. Priya and I are sharing the room. " Mehul looked as if his eyes would come out of his sockets. Rahul looked alarmed too.



" No !!! You can't do that, I will not allow that. " Mehul said and Rahul nodded.



" You will not allow that??? As if we care... I am not asking for the permission, I am telling you to do it "



" But baby, we are here to enjoy... " said Rahul to Priya.



" Oh but you should have thought of that before you taught your friends, how to control the wives... " Said Priya. They both pouted and made puppy faces... But the girls were adamant.



Vikram and I burst out laughing. " The experienced husbands are being thrown out of their own bedrooms... ha ha ha " Vikram said and laughed out loud.



Both Rahul and Mehul were glaring at us, but I could not control my laughter.



" Baby we were just kidding, Please don't send me away. " Rahul said to Priya.



" Megha, please yaar we were just pulling their legs as they are not married yet. Please let me be with you. " Mehul was pleading and rest of us were enjoying the show.



" Ok, you can stay but you will sleep on the couch. " Megha said.



" What?? But that is not fair..."



" That will remind you how you must not control your wife..." Megha said and Priya nodded.
