Chapter 35

Sagar's POV



What was that???

Shit !! Mr Mathur announced in front of everyone that Damini and Samar would be engaged to be married very soon.

It could not happen. Damini and Samar both looked shocked. But they did not deny that they liked each other.

Why the hell did Mr Mathur have to announce that?

It was such a beautiful day.

Damini was looking so damn beautiful and sexy. I couldn't look away from her and as Sahil had told me to stay a bit away from her. So I kept looking at her through my phone. I zoomed the camera and clicked many pictures of her. I noticed her stealing a few glances at me.

She surely has feelings for me. I have to do something.

" I can't let her marry that idiot... "

" Listen Sagar calm down... I think Samar was not very happy with the announcement. Let me talk to him. " Sahil said

" I don't know why the hell she had to say such good things about that idiot, she should have said that he was an idiot... She calls us idiots and stupid all the time and Samar, Samar is a very nice man, easy to talk to, a successful lawyer, independent, dependable, friendly and lively..

My foot!!!!!!!

He is an idiot always talking about food only. It seems food is the most important thing in his life. I swear I want to beat that man."

" Calm down... " Sahil patted me on the shoulder.

" Calm down ?? How can I calm down?? Could he not say that Damini is too high headed, irritating, snob. No, he had to say that.. Ok, she is very nice, beautiful, talented, smart, funny, independent, kind and shares his passion for food. Foodie just like him... See all he can talk about is food. Idiot, good for nothing. Who gets married to another person because both are foodie??? . "

" You think Damini is like that?? " Sahil looked amused.

" No. Of course not, but he should have said that. " I said.

" Sagar, Please calm down. We will found a way. But it doesn't depend on just what you feel for her. She has to feel something for you as well. "

" She does feel the same, Sahil. I can feel it. Trust me. "

" I trust you, But why does she says things as if you have hurt her?? "

" Even I need to know that."

" Ok, but listen, we have to go back to Delhi, Bhai. It is Holi, day after tomorrow. Dad called up, he is asking us to come back. "

" I know, that we need to go. But I can't go like this in this situation... They are also hosting a holi party."

" So what to do? I will not leave you here alone. You are not in the right frame of mind. Let's go home Bhai, mom will get depressed if none of her children is home. I won't leave you here. "

" I swear, I will not do anything stupid. Please, go home. I would have come if this announcement was not made. Please, try and understand, I can't go like this. You saw that she looked shocked and surprised. She didn't want to marry Samar. But she might say yes, out of family obligations. " I said but he didn't react.

*********

Next day we all reached office and there was so much tension amongst us that it could be cut with the knife.

Damini was not looking at anyone. Samar didn't utter a word to her. I didn't know what to say and to whom. Only Sahil made a few conversations with both of them or with me.

" Ok, everyone... Tomorrow is holi so we need to go home but as we have a party here too, so Sagar is going home and I am staying here. I enjoy the company of your friends. We will have fun."

Oh god, this Sahil is too much, why does he have to stay??? I need to stay.

" I thought, you were going... " I said to Sahil glaring at him.

" No dad called me and said that he wants you there. It is important Sagar. You need to go, come to the guest house with me you need to take a file back to Delhi. "

" But?? "

" Come Sagar, Guys... I will be back in half an hour. " Sahil looked at me in a way that said that I should come with him. I nodded.

" Bye Samar, Damini. Have a happy Holi. " I said to both of them.

Samar hugged me and I hugged him back and Damini gave me a longing look. I was not sure if I understood it correctly, but it looked as if, she didn't like me going.

What was going in Sahil's mind? We came out of the office.

" What is the confusion I think we discussed that I am not going anywhere. You are going... Then what was that in office? "

" I know what we discussed and we are going to do the same. I am going to Delhi as Sagar and you are staying here as Sahil. "

" WHAT?? What purpose will it solve?"

" You can talk to Samar as Sahil and ask or tell whatever you want and it will be easier to talk to Damini as me because she is avoiding you like anything. Got it?? " He winked at me and smiled mischievously. It was our favourite game.

" Right " I smiled.

" So change your shirt and behave like me, not your usual lovesick puppy type. " He hugged me.

" Hey, I am not a lovesick puppy. "

" Ha ha ha... you have been for the last 11 years. Do some flirting with girls. "

" That is the most difficult part. I am not like you. I don't even know their name. "

" Nor do I. Use words like beautiful, doll, babe... " Sahil said with a wink.

I smiled at him and hugged him.

" Stay calm, stay away from Damini, you can't control your emotions around her and don't dare to drive. I will kill you, if you drive."

" Ok, dad... " I said and he punched me.

He went away with a list of dos and don'ts.

I had changed my clothes and wore what he was wearing earlier. I went back to the office. Samar and Damini were talking but there was hell lot of tension. I looked at both of them. No one was ready to say anything.

" Are you guys ok? " I asked in Sahil's style. We both could perfectly copy each other.

" Yes." Samar said and went to his cabin. I looked at Damini she looked sad.

" Are you alright? " I asked her and she looked at me as if she doubted that I was not Sahil.

" Yes, I am. Thanks. " I nodded and went to Samar's cabin.

" Hey, what is the matter? "

" Nothing... You know what dad did yesterday. It has made things awkward between us.."

" Do you like her? "

" Of course, I like her. Who would not?? Apart from her long list of qualities, she is hot and sexy. " I wanted to punch him then and there, but controlled my urge to do that.

" But... " he said.

" But?? "

" But, I don't love her... " he said.

" What?? Great!!! Oh!, I mean... what?? Why?" I asked

" Why ?? Is it compulsory to love her?" Samar asked.

Idiot...

" No. Not at all... Only an idiot would say that. You are too intelligent to say that."

" Sahil?? That was weird... What does that mean?? "

" I don't know, I just said that... But, I am just a bit curious. You are not at all interested in her ?"

what was I saying??? It didn't even mean anything. But I was happy that he didn't want to marry her.

" Actually, I mean she is very pretty, Hot and sexy but no... "

" That's incredible... Are you sure?? "

" Yes. I... Let it be. "

" Why?? Say what you were saying. Today, you can say anything. I am loving it... " I said to him.

" I don't know... But something is really weird about you today." Samar gave me a confused look

" No, I am fine, much more than fine. So, you will not marry her?? "

" I tried to talk to my dad. He is not listening to me. But I am sure, he will listen to Damini. I will tell her to refuse. "

" Why can't you do it? Be a man. You are a lawyer too. Find out some way. She is a girl and is under obligation. She might not be able to say no to your dad. "

" Yeah. But I don't want to marry her. I mean, she is extremely beautiful, ho.. "

" Enough yaar !! You don't need to mention, again and again that she is extremely beautiful... Hot... Sexy... I know all that very well. Concentrate on the negative points, such as think that why you shouldn't marry her. " I said and calmed myself.

I was getting angry as he kept calling her hot and sexy.

Only I can say that.
