Chapter 47

Maurvi's POV

I couldn't sleep for the whole night. Those humiliating words and his cheap lustful expressions kept haunting me. How can a person be so cheap?

How could he say those things about me? Just because I liked someone else and not him, he said that I was characterless??? And that I was flirting with everyone....

I have had a crush on Gautam for so long, yet I never even thought about touching him with my index finger. How could he say that I had relations with all the men, I knew.

I always started shivering when Gautam even touches me. I cried for the whole night.

I heard Noopur coming to my room and shut my eyes to pretend that I was sleeping. I didn't want her to start asking questions and worrying about me.

" Get up you crazy girl. Don't act smart, I know you are not sleeping, ok? I admit that you are a good actress, but I know you since, I was born. So for god's sake, stop acting. I opened my eyes and looked at her. She was smiling at me so sweetly.

" Why can't you let me sleep? "

" Because I want to have breakfast and you know very well that I can barely cook a decent meal. If you want a burnt toast, then be my guest or just get out of the bed and cook a nice hot meal for us. Then we will go shopping and watching a movie.

" I am not going anywhere. "

" How can you do that to me??? I am going back, day after tomorrow, and you can't even spend some quality time with me... "

" I have my practical exam today, so I am going to college. Go with kshitij."

" No, I will go with you after your exam... But first thing first, just start making food for me. Make something nice... "

" What do you want to eat?"

" What ever Jiju likes?"

" Jiju?? "

" Gautam Jiju. "

" Noopur !! He is not your Jiju till now. " I said with pink cheeks.

" But he will be, very soon. When are you going to tell mom and dad? "

" What is the hurry? I will tell them soon. "

" I will give you just a week's time. Either you tell them or I will tell them."

" No, I will tell them. " I prepared Aaloo Parantha and a few sandwiches for all of us.

" So, I heard someone doing the confessions. " Noopur teased me.

" What?? You did ? " I was surprised to know that she knows.

" Hmm, I was coming to your room to give you something to eat. He is really sweet. "

" Yes... He is. " I smiled.

" Maurvi please tell me, what happened. I am concerned about you, I never hide things from you. I am getting worried about you. Gautam ji is also worried about you."

" I am fine... I don't want to bother you or him... Please leave this topic. Whatever he said was not good. His words are playing in my mind like a record, you know I couldn't sleep for a second. I couldn't even look at anybody."

" You have to get it out of your mind. I swear, I will not tell anyone, but I need to know what is bothering you. You know you can share with me. If you don't tell me what is bothering you then don't expect me to tell you if and when I am in the problem. " She was getting angry now.

" I don't know... It was so bad. " I said and she looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I told her everything with disgust.

" Do I flirt with Sid, Kshitij and all of Gautam's friends?

" No, not at all. Don't pay heed to what Aakash said. Well, he must have been just frustrated. Don't worry we all know the truth. It doesn't matter what that pervert said. Nobody is going to judge you on that. In fact everyone would think that he is just frustrated and narrow minded. You must tell Jiju as he is really concerned about you. "

" You don't understand noopur, Gautam is really over protective and possessive. He even gets jealous, if Sid or Kshitij light heartedly flirt with me. He once thought that Amit is my friend on whom I had a crush and he was very uncomfortable. I don't want him to fight with that cheap man. If I tell him, he would get really angry and would kill him for saying that. Then the hospital authority would punish him. I don't want that, his parents and our parents would get to know about it and I would not be able to face them. "

" But this whole thing is bothering him so much. Do you know, he was so shocked and furious, he almost saw red. He could not eat anything since then and didn't sleep a wink last night. "

" How do you know? "

" Do you know, he called me thrice to check upon you. He asked me to sleep in your room but as you didn't want me to be with you, I didn't. Maurvi, he cares too much for you. " I smiled faintly.

" He would have stayed himself if you had allowed. Poor guy. He is head over heels in love with you. " She said and I smiled shyly.

" That's why I can't tell him anything. "

" What rubbish.. "

" Trust me... If I tell him, he will kill Aakash and I don't want him behind the bars. "

We were laying the table when the doorbell rang.

" Here the lover boy comes... " She winked at me and went away to open the door.

Gautam came and smiled at me, " Good morning, beautiful !! How do you manage to do that? "

" Do what? " I was confused.

" Take my breath away everytime I look at you... How can you look so sweet and pretty ? "

" Hey!!! That was cute, by the way, which sweet does she look like bhaiy.... Err.. jiju? " Noopur said and he grinned at her last word.

"Well, she looks like a big platter, full of all the sweets... No !! Correction... Let's just say, she looks like a Huldiram showroom to me and I love sweets. " He said looking at me with a naughty smile. I was blushing very much.

" Awww.... By the way, which sweet is red in colour? Noopur looked at me and asked him with a smile.

" Red velvet cake... "

" Will you please stop talking like this?? Have breakfast. Where is Siddharth? "

" He is still sleeping, would fix something for himself. "

" Oh no, please I have made breakfast for him as well, please give it to him."

" Ok, beautiful. So you have an exam today? "

" Practical exam "

" So when will you be free? "

" Around 12:30 "

" So what is your plan for the day? "

" I have to go out with Noopur. "

" Ok dear, I will take the breakfast for Sid or he will keep irritating me. Bye, my sweet showroom... all the best." He winked at me and then hugged me.

" Um... Thank you !! Why do you keep calling me with the names of eatables?? Tomato, sweets ? "

" Well, that's because I want to... Leave that for now... You have an exam today... I don't want you to look red for the whole day. " He winked again and grinned. Then picked up the food for Siddharth and left before I could say anything.

" What did that mean ? " I asked Noopur who was trying to hide her smile.

" Get ready sweet showroom... Like seriously?? He is so cute... Tomato ??? I swear... I love him? "

" What?? Shall I tell this to Kshitij? "

" Arre... I love him as a brother-in-law. Don't tell anything to Kshitij, he would kill me. But did you just get jealous of me? Awww... you are getting possessive about Gautam Jiju. "

" Just shut up and call Kshitij to come and have breakfast and lunch. I need to go now. Take care. "

I got ready to go to my college to give my exam.
