Chapter 65
Maurvi's POV
There was a laughter riot outside their room. All of us went to have breakfast. Sandhya came in after some time.
Oh, God... Why are all of these teasing them? Are they going to do it with us too???
We all sat for breakfast. They kept teasing them.......
Ultimately we all went out. Vikram did not want to... But had to as Gautam caught Sandhya's hand and made her sit in the car... and told Vikram to go and sleep..... Poor Vikram had no chance against my Satan...
We went to all the tourist attractions of Jodhpur like Umaid Palace, Jaswant Thada, Mandore gardens, Mehrangarh and Osian in next two days.
Gautam and I did lots and lots of shopping. I bought a few Bandhani sarees for mom, Noopur, Aunty and myself. Then some other things like suits, Kurtis, skirts, jooties, Bandhni dupattas, scarfs, bags, jewellery etc.
We saw a lac bangle shop all the girls ran to that shop and bought the bangles. I selected lots and lots of them. That bangle seller was checking the size of the bangle and the guys were fuming at him.
" Bhaiya yeh choori mujhe do main pahna ke dekhta hoon aap rahne do... ( Listen brother just give me the bangle, I will check the size) " Gautam snatched the bangle from him and made me wear it. I looked at him with a teasing smile and he glared at me as if telling me not to smile. All his friends followed him. I bought many sets for me, mom, aunty and Noopur.
Gautam bought some Rajasthani dress and a few more things for me, while I was with girls, but was not showing it to me. So I was very curious.
When everyone else was busy in themselves... I asked him,
" What did you buy for me? "
" Something I think would look beautiful on you... "
" So why don't you show it to me? "
" Not here... Will show you when we would be alone. Will you wear it for me? "
" I may if I like it...but first of all, I need to see what it is and if it fits well. "
" Don't worry honey... It will" he said and winked at me.
I snatched it from his hand and opened the bag to look inside it was a beautiful lehenga choli. It was very nice but my face turned absolutely red the moment I turned to look at its back. It was backless...
My eyes grew to the size of saucers. I looked at him and he was grinning at me. I threw it back in the bag and said,
" Return it, please... I didn't like it.. "
" Oh ... You are lying. I saw that you loved it till you saw the back... "
" How can I? see the back... There is none here... I can't wear it... "
" But I liked it... Please wear it for me.. "
" No return it... It is so..... I will not wear... "
" It is non-returnable... I want you to wear it.. "
" Where would I go wearing it?"
" Nowhere .... you will wear it in our room only. I can't even think about you going out anywhere in it. This is only for me to see you in. " He said.
" And what will we do after I wear it? We will keep sitting in the room all day? "
" Well of course not, sitting was definitely not there in my plan. I had some very interesting activities in my mind... Don't worry you will not get bored. " He said with a wink and gave a very naughty smile.
Oh god!!! He is shameless...
I tried to say something witty to make this conversation a bit less awkward but nothing came out of my mouth. Red colour flooded towards my face.
I ran away from him and joined the girls' gang. I heard him laughing aloud. I did not even dare to look at the other pieces of clothing which were in that bag.
We enjoyed the trip around Jodhpur with our friends... They were really fun to be with.. we all left Jodhpur with them teasing us about our upcoming engagement and wedding.
*************
We came back to Delhi. Siddharth was on talking terms with Shruti now... He was happy about it.. his extended vacation was over. So he went away the very next day with the promise that he would come before our engagement.
I had my exams, so I immersed myself in my studies. Gautam complained that I was not spending time with him, but he knew that I had to study.
************
My exams were over and our parents had already set a date for our engagement and wedding.
My house was bursting at seams as everyone was here for our engagement which was on the next day. My parents, Noopur, relatives and all my cousins were at home now.
Everyone was teasing me like hell. I was really getting irritated. Like if I was sleeping hey teased... Oh so you want to sleep so you have a dream date with him and if I am not able to sleep then, they would say... Oh, you are so excited that you can't even sleep. What the hell...
My mom and all the relatives were being extra nice to me as if I was the Princess of Wales. Everyone had a long list of dos and don'ts.
I had tried almost 10 dresses as everyone was suggesting a different dress for me to wear for my engagement. Someone said I must wear saree and some said lehenga. I had already selected my dress but still, my mom asked me to try another one whenever someone decided that they should give their valuable advice on the issue.
My mom said that I have an appointment with the beauty salon and the girls would come to our home. Two girls came and after the beauty sessions, they applied Mehandi on my hands.
I was already tired and wanted to sleep desperately. My phone rang and it was Gautam... My younger cousin snatched the phone and started teasing me. In normal conditions, I would have smiled and shaken my head but as I was so irritated I snapped.
" Ok.. go ahead, you go and talk to him. I don't want to talk to anyone.. can all of you please leave me alone? I am having a severe headache... " She got scared of my outburst and gave me my phone back with a sorry.
The phone was still ringing so I picked up the phone.
" Hello? "
" Hi, beautiful... What are you doing? "
" I am planning to run away from my home right now.... "
" What??? Why ?? What happened?? You can't do that... We are getting engaged tomorrow. Tell me what is wrong.. don't even think about eloping. "
" I am sick of everyone..... They are teasing me mercilessly. I am having a severe headache. "
" Ok come out... We will go for a walk... I will kiss you and the pain will go away.. "
" I can't do that "
" Why can't you do that? "
" Many reasons... "
" Tell me a few... "
" I have a severe headache... I am already sick of their teasing, I don't want to encourage it. They all will kill me with their teasings. I am already annoyed. And another thing is that I have Mehandi on my hands so I can't come out and I don't want Siddharth and your friends teasing me as well. "
" Oh god!! so many problems... Ok, I will come and meet you... By the way, what are you going to wear tomorrow? "
" Please don't ask that... I am sick of this question. Almost 50 people have asked this since morning. Then out of them, at least 20 suggested another option. I have tried at least 10 of those options though I had already decided what was I going to wear. "
" Ok cool it, baby... I am coming. "
" No... They will start teasing you too and I would never hear the end of it. You can't come here. "
" I am coming... "
" They would tease you as well."
" Doesn't matter.."
"They will not let you meet me... "
" Hahaha, it is hilarious... Even your parents won't be able to stop me. And nobody can stop me... I am a doctor and you are having a headache.... "
" You can't do that... Who calls a doctor for a mere headache..? Everyone one is here.. they will not allow. "
" I don't care... I want to meet my beautiful fiance right now? You don't need to call the doctor sweetheart, I am always at your service. " He said and disconnected the call I tried calling him again.
The doorbell rang and then there was a commotion outside. I knew in my heart that it was my fiance who created that.
