Chapter 29
Gautam's POV
We just could not stop ourselves and burst out laughing again. Maurvi came near me and said in a low voice, " What are you doing? They are fighting... You must try to solve their problems." I just shook my head.
" Ok, if you are not going to help them then we are." Maurvi said and Sandhya agreed with her.
" No, let us enjoy... They have been lecturing for hours... look how they are sulking right now. The so-called experienced husbands." Vikram said.
Priya and Megha were still angry so they went away...
But just then I saw Maurvi and Sandhya went to Rahul and Mehul and said something to them... They looked excited but again looked helpless.
" Don't worry, we will help you... Now come on pull up your socks and cook something for your wives... " Maurvi said to them... It would be funny to watch Rahul and Mehul cooking.
Vikram and I sat down in the open kitchen where they planned to cook a meal for their wives.
They were very awkward in the kitchen as they had never cooked in their life... Only I could cook a bit. We were smiling and teasing both of them.
" See Gautam, the very dominating husbands are cooking food for their meek and submissive wives. " Vikram said. We were teasing them like anything. Rahul and Mehul were glaring at us.
" Don't listen to them. Just think how much you love your wife... She cooks so many nice things for you, your favourite dishes and all other things. Can't you cook even for one day? And you say you love her? " Maurvi said to both of them.
Aww... my girlfriend was so cute she wanted the guys to cook for their girls. Shall I also cook for her. Would she like it? But Vikram will make fun of me. I will never hear the end of it from him.
" You are right I will cook for my Priya but the problem is that both of them are very good cooks and we don't know how to even boil water, how will we do it? Cook food, you see..." Rahul said.
" Sandhya and I will help you... Let them laugh if they are... Maybe they are still not in love enough to understand how you are feeling. " Maurvi raised her eyebrow at us.
Both of them were helping them.. Rahul and Mehul were following their instructions.
Vikram rolled his sleeves and went to help them. He asked Maurvi for some instructions, I also joined them, almost after one and a half hour the food was ready.
All of us made very simple dishes with easy to follow recipes... As Sandhya and Maurvi just gave instructions and rest was done by all of us. Rahul and Mehul went to call their wives...
When they came and saw what the guys made they hugged their husbands. I looked at Maurvi and she blushed as usual. Sandhya hugged and kissed Vikram on his cheek. He deserved that after all his hand got burnt while cooking.
Maurvi saw that I cooked pasta and looked at me with so much love that I felt that she was in love with me.
" Come on Maurvi, you must kiss or atleast hug him, even Sandhya did that. " Vikram teased Maurvi and she turned even more red.
My best friend... I love him... That's why he is my best friend.
" I know... it is difficult to even think about kissing him but what to do you chose him, so go ahead. Don't be shy it is not that you people have never kissed. Right? "
Who is telling him to kiss me... irritating, stupid, Idiot. He doesn't have to think about doing it. She is my girlfriend not him. Thank God.
" Well I don't believe in PDA. " tomato said finally.
" PDA?? What is that ? " Priya asked.
" Public display of affection... " Tomato said.
That is not fair... Why does she always come up with a smart answer?? Why does she have to be so smart?
She smiled shyly at me.
My heart did a somersault. That means she would kiss me when we would be alone.
She hugged me. I was on cloud nine, but then I remembered what a good actress she was. She hugged me because everyone was expecting her to.... And she was feigning to be my girlfriend.
Anyways she would not have kissed me... She is in love with someone else. I hated that man. I was green with jealousy. I wanted her with every cell and fibre in me and she was in awe with someone else.
I did not know what was going in my mind. One minute I was thinking that I must leave her alone as she likes someone else. Another minute my mind and body revolted as I can't think about that. I couldn't imagine her with anyone. A silent war was going on between my heart and mind.
We all had food. After the food we all talked and teased each other. The soft romantic music was playing and everyone was enjoying the love in the air kind of atmosphere.
Well almost everyone...
Everyone said good night to each other and started going to their respective rooms... Sandhya and Maurvi also went to their room.
Vikram and I looked at eachother and he said, " Yaar why did they all have to leave so early... It is just 10:30 PM. I wanted to be with my Sandhya... Didn't you want to be with Maurvi ? "
" What? Of course... I wanted to be... " I said, though I was thinking that she loves someone else.
" I have an idea... " He said.
" What?? "
" You convince Maurvi to stay with you... I would convince Sandhya... "
" You are mad?? We can't do that...."
" Why?? We can... She is getting married to me in less then a month. By the way, we slept in the same room, when she was not even engaged."
" Shut up Vikram !!! Stop saying such things, Sandhya is not like that, it is not possible..."
" I am not lying. It happened when we had gone for the camp. That idiot Sumeet sent her a threatening message and she was so scared that she came to me. She slept in my room on a chair but I picked her up and laid her on bed to make her comfortable but I don't know when I was also engulfed by the sleep. "
" That was different yaar... Now they won't. And Maurvi would never agree to it. "
" Why?? She is your girlfriend, Persuade her that you just want to spend some more time with her. "
" It is not that easy. And it is not right too... "
" I am not telling you to do anything you stupid. Just spend some more time together. Don't you want her to spend more time with you? "
" It is not like that... You don't understand, our relationship..." I didn't know how to explain my situation.
" Then make me... understand your relationship. " He said to me.
" I can't be very close to her... I can't share a room with her. "
" But why? I don't understand. Why, you don't want to spend more time with her? Why the hell you don't want to be in the same room? "
I was holding my head in my hands. I could not stay in the same place as I would not be able to keep myself away from her and she was in love with someone else.
" Gautam you are hiding something, aren't you?? Answer me... "
" I myself don't know the answers... I am very confused. Ok fine, I will send the Sandhya to your room. It is up to you, How you convince her to stay with you... "
" You are avoiding the topic. "
" No, I don't know what to say. I don't know how I am feeling. I will tell you, when I get to know. Till then don't ask please... "
" But tell me the problem at least... "
" How is your hand now? " I again changed the topic.
" Gautam??? " He raised his eyebrow at me but I went towards Sandhya's room.
" Vikram go to our room, she will be there in 5 minutes with the ointment to apply on your hand... " I said and went to their room.
