Chapter 27

Sandhya's POV



" Anything for you beautiful... "

What was with him? He was recently behaving oddly. But I was thankful to him... First of all, he handled Shubh very nicely. I was shocked by Shubh's outburst. He just entered Dr Rathore's cabin and punched him hard, but hats off to Dr Rathore. He didn't react. He could have punched him back, but he tried to ask him what was wrong. After watching those pictures, I was stunned, but he explained each and everything to him calmly and coolly. He explained to him that the pictures were not doctored. It was just that his assumptions were wrong. I was thankful that Shubh understood. I was shocked to hear those things from him. Dr Rathore cleared the misunderstanding between all of us.

I was embarrassed to see all those pics. How can I be so scared that I behaved like that? Thank God he explained everything. I would have died of shame.

There was one picture I was confused about. The one in which I was sleeping in bed cuddled up to him. In that picture, my hand is on his chest and his hand is on my hand while he is kissing my head. But when I got up that day he was sleeping so when did he kiss me?

Does that mean, that he was awake? Oh no !! What would he think about me? Does that mean, he was acting? But why?

I thought, that I got up from the bed without him noticing it. Such a fool I was. But I got embarrassed with the fact, that I cuddled against him.

I was still sitting beside my aunt when Dr Rathore came with two coffees. He offered one to me. I took it.

" Don't worry, she is fine. Get this stupid thing out of your mind that you are responsible for this. You are not, Sumeet is. And he will pay for that. Now stop sulking and go home. The staff will take care of her. You have to take care of Shubh, your uncle and yourself too. " I was about to say no, but he was right. I had to take care of them. And my parents are also coming tomorrow.

I nodded and called Shubh and said, " Shubh, I am coming home and prepare some food for you and uncle. We have to take care of him. He looked so tensed. "

" Ok, I will come to pick you up," Shubh replied on the phone.

" Don't be absurd Shubh, I am not a child or invalid. Some times you irritate me. " I retorted.

" I can't let you travel alone." He was as adamant as ever. In fact a bit more because of the recent incident.

" Shubh enough is enough..." I was saying something but was cut off by Dr Devil.

" Give me the phone... " He was asking me to give my phone to him. I gave.

" Hi Shubh, This is Vikram. If you don't mind, I can drop her as my shift is over and I have to leave the hospital." He said to Shubh. He handed me the phone. I took it and said,

" Shubh??"

" Sandhya, Dr Vikram will drop you home. " Shubh said to me.

" But, I can come on my own, I am not a child. " I was irritated with them.

" Don't argue, either you come with him or I will come. " Shubh was just impossible.

" Ok fine, I am coming. " I disconnected the call and looked at devil he was smiling.

" What is this? Do you think I am a child?? " I asked him in an Irritated tone.

" Not at all... In fact, you are a beautiful girl. Very beautiful girl..."

He said looking at me with a different expression.

" You don't have to bother about driving me to my place. I can go. "

" And give your brother another chance to punch me on my jaw,? No way. " I just rolled my eyes and we were going out when Dr Aditi saw us and came towards us.

" Hi Vikram, can you please drop me home? My driver hasn't come yet. We can go for a long drive if you want. " She batted her eyelashes at him.

" Sorry Aditi, but I am busy. I have to go and talk to someone in the opposite direction."

" And this intern is going in the same direction. Right? " She was looking at me with undisguised contempt.

" Yes, and I don't think it is any of your business. Have a nice day... Bye."

We sat in his car and I said,

" You should have dropped her, she wanted to go with you. "

" But I wanted you... "

" What?? "

" I mean, I wanted to go with you."

He asked me the address and I told him. We were going toward my home.

The car music system was playing soft old Hindi songs... And Devil was humming with the tune. Mr Arrogant, humming a soft romantic tune?

I pity that girl, who would be his wife. Has to be perfect in every sense. I would love to see her. Miss picture-perfect...

But, I felt some kind of bad feeling or pang just at the thought of it. What does that mean?? I don't even like him.

How does it matter to me, whom he gets married to?

Aditi?? She was tall, fair, beautiful sophisticated, rich and elegant. But it seemed devil doesn't like her. Why am I thinking about all these things??

I saw him looking at me. I was getting very uncomfortable. My face was getting hot.

" What were you thinking? " He asked me.

" Nothing... "l

" Nobody thinks nothing... " He laughed at his joke. I rolled my eyes.

" You know, I love it when you do that. " He said smiling.

" I do what? What did I do?"

" The way you roll your eyes. "

" I don't... "

" You do. "

" I don't Ok? "

" You... Ok sweetheart, if you say so... "

" What?? I think you want another punch from Shubh. "

" Why do you think so? "

" You called me sweetheart. " I said and he started grinning.

" So what?? I can do that in front of him. "

" I seriously think you have a death wish. Don't you dare, he will kill you? " I warned him but he laughed. Had he gone mad? Had he not seen, how protective Shubh was?

" Now I will call you sweetheart in front of him and he won't say anything at all. "

" Ha ha ha... Either you have lost it or you are trying to be hilarious. "

" Have a bet. "

" What?? "

" Have a bet, I will call you sweetheart and even hold your hand in front of your brother and he won't be offended. And if he punched me, then you win. But if he doesn't react, then I win... Ok? Fair enough??"

" Ok, What is the reward? "

" Well, If you win, I'll do whatever you tell me to and if I win, you will do what I say. Ok?? " I thought for a minute and then nodded.

It will be fun to see this, High and Mighty Rajput, to lose a bet. I even smirked at him. He was smiling like anything. He was looking extremely handsome.

Nonsense he was not handsome, I must not think like that. He is arrogant, idiot, irritating, prejudiced... But he is very handsome.

Shut up Sandhya, You are about to get married to someone else. I must not even look at him. It is not right.

" So what are you thinking? "

" That how will you look when he beats you. "

" Aww... how sweet you were thinking about me. "

" Yes, I was thinking that you would look funny with a black eye. " I smirked.

" We will see sweetheart, you just be ready to do what I say. "
