Chapter 73

Sagar's POV



Samar hugged me very hard and congratulated me. He is very sweet. I really like him... He helped me a lot by convincing her parents and his father.

Now he solved another big problem. He is a good friend. Sahil is lucky to have him.

We all had dinner at their place. Everyone was very happy and the parents started talking about the marriage plans and we all came out. I was excited that finally, we are going to be married soon. Samar went to show his house to Swati and Manyata.

I pulled Damini to the garden area.

" Happy beautiful? Congratulations!!!" I said.

" Congratulations to you too... Yes, Of course I am happy. What about you.. ? " she asked mischievously.

" I would rather show you how happy and excited I am. " I smiled in a wicked way.

" No... I got it.. no need to explain or show.. " she pulled herself away.

" Damini... Where are you running off to?? I will catch you. Hey, wait... " I ran after her and she ran inside the house and I followed her and ran into someone.

Oh shit!!! It was Mr Shrivastav... I said sorry and smiled at him apologetically.

" Come beta sit with us... we are planning your wedding.. please let us know about your likes and dislikes... As it is, we should get to know each other well. After all, you are going to be our son-in-law." He held my hand and lead me to where they were discussing plans.

" Yes sir.. " he made me sit between himself and Mr Mathur.

" Start calling me dad.. beta... " he said.

" Ji.. "

We kept talking for some time and then it was time to come back.

Her mom wanted her to stay with them but my mom and Swati insisted that she should stay with us at least till we were living in the guest house. They agreed and we all came back.

That night, I called her and pulled me in my room again and I only let her go to her room, after giving her that kissing class.

I was so excited as we were going to have our Roka ceremony the next day. The bungalow was also being cleaned properly and all the arrangements were being made for us. We would shift there soon.

Sahil would be coming today. I was feeling bad that Sahil did not share anything with me.

Maybe I failed as a brother... Maybe I was so engrossed in myself and Damini that I didn't saw that he was going through something... he did not bother to tell me anything.

But he shouldn't have done, what he did... Now he will have to face the consequences.

******



He came back from Delhi and hugged me. I was happy to see him after all these days.

" Where are mom and Swati? " Sahil asked

" In the room next to Damini's."

" So you are ready to get married brother ?? "

" Well yes.. of course... What about you?? What do you think about getting married?? Everyone has to settle down someday... "

" Oh please keep me away... I want to live like a free bird... " he got a bit annoyed on the topic.

" Hmmm... But. "

" No buts... You concentrate on your wedding... I am happy like this. I am going to meet mom and Swati. I didn't spend much time with Swati since she came back to India. " He said and went to mom's room.

I followed him to mom's room.

The moment I stepped in mom's room, I saw that he picked up Swati from the backside to startle her to swirling her in air, as she was talking to a mom at that time and her back was facing the door. He usually used to pick and turn her around twirling her in the air.

Just when he turned towards me, I was shocked to see that it was not Swati but Manyata. She was too shocked to react. Her mouth was open and her eyes were about to bulge out of her face. Then she shrieked and he placed her back on the floor.

She turned to look at him and slapped him hard and Sahil froze at his place.

" Oh.. oh... I am sorry... I thought .... that you were Swati... My sister. " Sahil said still holding his cheek.

" Yeah.. ok.. fine... I am sorry.." Manyata said and ran away from the room. Sahil was confused and still shocked.

" Who was she?? I thought she was Swati..." The door of the washroom opened and Swati came out. She ran towards Sahil and threw herself in his arms.

" Bhai... You came back... I was missing you. "

" I missed you too. Who was that girl?" Sahil asked us.

" Which girl?? Oh!! Manu?? Where is she?? " she looked around to find her.

" I thought she was you.. so I picked her and twirled her around in the air. I didn't know. her back was facing me and I wanted to surprise you. but I got shocked. "

" She is my friend, Manu. She had some work here so I insisted that she stays with me... As it is she doesn't know anyone here... "

" Oh... Ok. " Sahil said.

" So excited??? ... our brother is getting married soon. " Sahil said smiling at her.

" Yeah... Sagar Bhai is getting married then you get married..."

" I don't want to get married. " Sahil said in an irritated tone.

" Why what is the problem in getting married?? Sagar is ready to get married... Your dad and I got married... We are happy na??.. What is your problem?? " mom asked in an angry tone.

" Mom please yaar... Am I your sole target, now that Sagar is getting married?? "

" Ok fine... We have the Roka ceremony tomorrow... Sagar and Samar have seen to most of the arrangements... You do the rest. I want the ceremony to be flawless. it's the first marriage in our family.. so the first ceremony has to be perfect. Understood ??"

" Yes, Ma'am... I mean mom.. " said Swati.

" Yes, mom... " Sahil said smiling faintly.

" Where is the bride to be?? " Sahil looked around.

" Must be in her room her parents wanted her to stay with them but she stayed here.. "

" Means you did not let her go..." Sahil smiled at me and I smiled back.

He knows me so well.

" Bhai you are blushing... " Swati said looking at me...

" Shut up Ok, I told you to get your eyes checked... Sahil I think we should find a guy and get her Married soon. " I said.

" Yes do that... Find a nice boy for her... And you both stop teasing Sagar... He is my best child... Got such a nice daughter-in-law for me. "

Mom said.

" Ok... But I am really hungry, I skipped my lunch too. Let's go have some food. " Sahil said and I nodded. Mom scolded him for being careless.

I knocked on the door of Damini's room. She oped the door.

" Let's go for dinner. Come Manu."

" No Sagar Ji... I don't want to go.. "

" Why?? Are you not well? "

" No. I am fine.. "

"She doesn't want to go as Sahil is here. " Damini said.

" Please.. come... You need to teach him a lesson.. you can't hide here.. just remember that you are Swati's friend Manu.. "

I came out with both of them. Sahil came there, hugged and congratulated Damini. She smiled back at him and thanked.

" Welcome to the family beautiful... " He said.

" Thanks .. " Damini said.

Sahil looked at Manyata but she was looking in another direction.

Just when we were about to go for dinner, Samar also came and he gave a man hug to Sahil and Sahil invited him as well for the dinner.

We went to another place this time which was highly recommended by Samar.

The food was again awesome.. everyone seemed to enjoy except Manyata. I could see that she was uncomfortable. I was about to ask when Samar asked.

" What happened, you didn't like the food Manu? If you want to eat something else..we can order that. I know the chef of this place... He is awesome..just name the dish, he will get for you. "

" No thanks Samar Ji.. the food is awesome.. it is just that I am not very hungry.. "

" I think you enjoyed the food at that restaurant more where we had the day before yesterday. Well, that is our favourite one.. but I thought you all would want to try something different. "

" Chill Samar Ji... The food was great there as well as here. Ok... Manu just try this... it is amazing. " Swati said and Manyata smiled... I saw Sahil, looking at her.
