Chapter 29

Vikram's POV



Shubh had come to talk to me the day before yesterday, the day his mom got admitted to the hospital. I could understand his concern.

" Dr Rathore, I don't know how to say this. But I am very tensed as mom is in hospital and someone is coming to meet Sandhya tomorrow. On top of that Sumeet is sending your pictures to everyone. How would I explain, anything to that guy or his family? Or what would I say to Sandhya's mom and dad? " I patted on his shoulder.

" Don't worry, everything is under control. " I was about to tell him but he started speaking.

" I failed as a brother, I could not protect my sister. I was not there, hen she needed me the most. I tried to protect her, but I could not even see that my friend was trying to hurt her. I want to kill him. I shouted at my sister for the first time in my life. Even after looking at those pics, I understand that nothing happened between you two as you explained everything, but how would I explain it to the man, she is going to get married. I seriously failed as a brother, Big time. " He looked so depressed.

" No, you didn't. You are an amazing brother. You take very good care of your sister, I have seen that with my own eyes. You didn't fail at all, in fact, you passed with flying colours. "

" But how would I expl..."

" You won't need to explain anything to anyone... I will take care of it... "

" What?? But why ?"

" Because I am the man, your sister is getting married to... "

" What nonsense?? "

" It is not nonsense, my dear, would be brother-in-law... "

" Listen, I am serious and I don't like this kind of jokes. "

" Will you please shut up and listen to me? I am Vikram Singh Rathore. My family lives in Jodhpur. My mom and Sandhya's mom are best friends. I am the one, who was supposed to be coming to your home tomorrow. I am the one who is getting engaged and finally married to your sister Sandhya. Got it?? "

" What?? Why didn't you say anything earlier? "

" You didn't let me say anything. " I smiled at him he shook his head and smiled.

" So you asked for her hand in marriage? Does she know??"

" NO... "

" Why ?? "

I told him every single thing. How my mom proposed our marriage, how I said hard words... how she got hurt... how I started liking her... How I came to know she was the same girl.

" I am asking for forgiveness from her. She has finally forgiven me. After this camp, we became friends also. But I want her in my life, so I asked my parents to help me with getting married to her. I am just trying to win her heart. Will you please help me? "

" I would have punched you hard, for hurting my sister. But over this time, I saw that you are a nice man and you take good care of her. So I will help you... But don't ever try to hurt her again. " He said to me and then smiled. I nodded and smiled back. We hugged each other and patted on each others' back and laughed.

I told him not to tell her that I am that man, whom she is getting married to.

I started teasing her a bit. I called her sweetheart and she said that Shubh would beat me. If only she knew...

We had a bet and I would surely win that. Shubh was on my side.

She was shocked as hell. What happened to her overprotective brother? He lets me drive her to and from the hospital.

Tomorrow we would have our engagement. She would be mine and she doesn't even know it. But, I was enjoying flirting with her.

I invited all my friends, even Rahul and Mehul are back now, but I was not able to talk to Sagar. He is out of Delhi and was not picking up the phone. I hoped everything was fine at his end.

My family had come to Delhi and they were teasing me about Sandhya. I was waiting for the next day. But for now, I had to go to the hospital, to see and irritate her.

Here I come, my sweetheart...



Sandhya's POV



My family had come and my aunt was alright now and was at home. They are going shopping for engagement.

I was a bit irritated with the fact, that I was getting married to someone, I didn't even know him and on other hand, I was getting irritated with Dr Rathore. He was teasing me.

He had no right to call me sweetheart. Why was he calling me that? I was about to get married to someone else.

I would have to go to the hospital and he would tease me again. I felt like crying. But I won't. I would win when Shubh would beat him for calling me that.

Shubh dropped me there and reminded me to invite all my friends for the engagement. I somehow didn't want to.

What would I tell them, if they ask me about him? I didn't even know his name.

I reached my department, no one was there. I went to his cabin, I sat down on a chair. I was just thinking about all the things which are happening to me. Just then the devil arrived and sat beside me.

" Missed me, sweetheart??? "

Why was he saying such things??

" No, Why would I? I was thinking about the man I am getting married to... "

I wish, I didn't have to marry him. I wish, things were not like the way they were now. I wish... No, but I didn't even know what I wanted.

" You are getting married??? To whom?? What does he do? Where does he live? At least tell me his name. "

Please, someone, tell him to shut up. I didn't know why, but I was feeling pangs in my heart.

" Why should I? It is none

of your business sir. "

Just stay away from me...Why are you being so nice to me??

" You don't want to get married to him. Do you? "

Shut up and go from here. I don't want your expert comments, about what my heart wants, Mr Cardiologist.

" Yes, I want to get married to him. " I told him.

" Ok, then let me tell you, something sweetheart, I am also getting married to someone. I started liking her. "

I somehow felt like slapping him for saying so. I didn't know why, but I felt like crying.

" Congratulations !! Good for you. You finally found someone, who is perfect for you. " I got up and started walking towards the cafeteria, but he caught my hand. My back was facing him.

" Jealous?? Are you? "

I don't know... but I feel like killing someone... Why are you wasting your time with me here? Go and spend time with her. And for God's sake, leave my hand.

" Why would I be jealous?" I said, he came very close to me, my back was touching his chest.

Get lost. Please don't touch me.

"I got to marry the girl whom I like, but you are getting married to someone you don't even know. " He whispered in my ear and I couldn't even breath. My body was behaving weirdly. I wanted to get away from him, but my traitor body didn't even move an inch. His breath felt cold below my ear. I was shivering. My body was getting very hot. Was I getting sick? ... Did I have a fever?

I was confused if I was liking or hating the things which were happening to me right now.
