Chapter 38

Maurvi's POV

I went to his house, he was just unlocking his door.

" Gautam please, listen to me. Why are you behaving like this? " He went inside and I went after him. He looked so angry. He threw the keys on the table with such a force that I flinched.

" Gautam please, at least listen. "

" I have heard enough. That guy was asking you to get married. Like how do you expect me to behave?? That I must shake hands with him or even better if I hug him ? " He looked so annoyed and agitated.

" That is exactly how you would, if you at least let me speak. "

" What type of games are you playing with me, Maurvi? Are you engaged ? Your parents want you to get married? He was calling your mom as Mother-in-law?? What nonsense is all this? " He started walking towards me so fast, I got scared. I started walking backwards.

" Then you called him as your brother-in-law. Listen one thing and once for all. I will not let that happen. You will have only one brother-in-law and that would be Sid... " He pushed me against the wall and placed both his hands on either side of me.

Oh God !! Please tell him to back off. My heart was racing like a super fast train. What was happening to me?

" But... How can you... take decisions for Noopur? " I was confused.

" Now from where does Noopur come into it? How does it matter to her? " It was his turn to be confused now.

" Of course it matters to her the most. She is not interested in Siddharth. "

" So? Who is compelling her to be interested in Sid? I am just saying that you would have only one Brother-in-law. Not that man in your house. "

" Why ??? He loves Noopur and Noopur loves him. From where does Siddharth come in? " I asked and then it struck me.

Oh My God!!!! Did he just say that? I mean, he was saying that Siddharth would be my brother-in-law, if I get married to Gautam? Oh god !!! I may die of heart attack. Was he serious?

I smiled as I understood what was the confusion.

" Don't you dare to smile.... How dare he call your mom as Mother-in-law? I want to punch him. Stop smiling. What is so amusing? "

" Calm down Mr. Handsome, you are not even listening. My parents have two daughters. Kshitij is Noopur's boyfriend for last two years. He went to talk to my parents to seek permission to get married to her. He is getting engaged to Noopur. My father wants me to get married first, as I am elder to her. That's why he was persuading me to get married as he would be able to get married to Noopur, only after I get married. " his angry face looked a bit relaxed , after he heard it.

" Oh !! Ok, but you said brother-in-law so I got confused. " He looked a bit embarrassed.

" Yes, but sister's husband would be called brother-in-law. So kshitij is my brother-in-law.. Ok? Angry young man you looked as if you were going to kill him. Why were you behaving like that? "

" Why??? I would have killed him for what I understood he said. How can I stand there and not react if a man asks you to get married. You are my girlfriend. Right? "

" Fake girlfriend... "

" Not anymore. You have had a crush on me, as you said half an hour ago. So that makes you my real girlfriend. "

" No.. "

" Why not now? " He was smiling.

" No, but that is a different thing. I had a crush on you. That doesn't mean that I become your girlfriend. You have feelings for some one else. So... "

" Shhh... you speak a lot. But Just don't speak what you need to. Listen carefully, beautiful... you should have told me that you had crush on me. Do you know I am on top of the world right now. I love you, Maurvi. "

" You don't have to say that now... just because you know, that I had a crush on you. You love me as a friend. "

" Nonsense !! I Love You, as a man loves a woman. I want you, as a man wants a woman . I can't tolerate other men flirting with you. You are mine. Only MINE... "

" Gautam... " My eyes were as big as some saucers.

" No, let me complete please. That day when I said, I was falling for someone, I was talking about you. I think I love you for a very long time. I suppressed my feelings for you as I thought that it was not right, as I was too old for you. Recently while faking our relationship, all my feelings came back rushing with full force. I want to beat any guy who comes near you or is interested in you. You are the first one I think about, when I get up and the last one I think about, just before I slip into slumber. I was going crazy about you. I did not understand such a simple thing. That I LOVE YOU... " He was looking at me with so many emotions of in his eyes.

I was blushing so bad and grinning like a fool. I was just too happy to say anything.

" So, will you be my real girlfriend now? " He asked, closing the distance between us. His face just inches away from mine. My whole body was shivering now and I was as red as a beetroot. I mean tomato... I loved it, whenever he called me tomato.

" I think, I should go as I need to talk to kshitij too... " I was getting a bit nervous by his nearness.

" Wait beautiful, first answer my question. " he was smiling like Satan.

" Later on please..."

" No, I have waited too long already. Or some other guy will come and ask you to marry or be his girlfriend. Answer me right away or I will start tickling you. "

What? Why did I tell him that I am ticklish?

" No !! Ok yes, I will be your real girlfriend. " I said though all the blood in my body rushed towards my face. He smiled like anything.

" Let me go, my brother-in-law is waiting there in my house."

" Which one?? Your two Brothers-in-law are in your house right now. " He asked with a wink and I smiled at that.

" Siddharth is not my brother-in-law. " I said shyly.

" Hmmm not yet... But he would be very soon... "

He touched my cheek and caressed it with his thumb. The proximity was affecting me so much.

" Please step back, I need to go."

" Ummm hmmm... No!! You can push me back if you want. "

" Please Gautam... "

" No, It is not everyday, when I have such a beautiful girl in my arms, telling me that she had a crush on me. So why should I let her go? "

" They both are waiting for us."

" So what??? Let them... "

" Khitij must be in shock and might kill Siddharth as you wanted Siddharth to be my brother-in-law. " I burst out laughing remembering the whole confusion.

" What is the hurry beautiful? At least let your favourite doctor cure your laughter fit." Before I could say anything, he shut me down with his lips.
