Sahil's POV
I went home to get fresh. Everyone was in the living room. They were having tea and were ready to go out.
" Sahil, come have tea. " Mom said and I nodded. Swati came and hugged me. I joined them while Swati went to the kitchen to get me tea.
She gave me tea and a plate with a few pieces of cake in it. I was hungry so I took a bite of it. It was very nice but pretty different.
" Wow!! This is very different and delicious. What is in it? Did you make it? " I smiled at Swati.. as she was very fond of trying new recipes.
" No Bhai, Manu made it but I helped her too. It is an apple spiced cake. I love the flavour of cinnamon in it. " She said and looked at her.
I looked at her, but as usual, she was not even looking at me.
" Did I hear cake?? " Samar came in and asked.
Of course, all you hear and think about is food...
Everyone was happy to see him, even Manu...
" Yes. I will get it for you too. Do you want tea? " Swati asked him.
" Sure... I will eat or drink anything you will give me.. " he smiled at her.
Idiot...
Swati got tea and cake for him and he accepted with a cute smile.
" Hmmm this cake is amazing, I loved it. Awesome... Who made it?? " Samar said.
" Manu made and I helped her... "
" Wow, Manu !! You are an amazing cook. Can I have more of this? It is awesome. " both the girls smiled at him and he smiled back.
" Sure Samar Ji " Manu went inside and got him more cake. He took that with a smile and thanked her.
" Sahil you are coming with us for shopping. " Mom said.
" No. I have to go out. "
" You just came home, where are you going? "
" I have to go out with friends.. "
" Sahil, Your friend is going out with us... Come with us. " mom said and Samar smiled at me
" No mom.. you know I hate shopping, I have other friends too. "
" Neither you nor Sagar comes with me... You don't care for us. What is the use of having two sons, if they can't even help you in marriage preparations... Only this sweet boy Samar accompany us. " Mom started her emotional outburst and Samar smiled again and winked at me. I glared at him but he was not bothered.
" Mom, please don't start yaar.. "
" Sahil enough is enough... You are coming. " Mom said.
" Come on yaar Sahil, you can come for the shopping at least once. " Samar said flashing his white teeth again.
I will break his teeth someday soon...
I got up and changed into casuals.
We all went to the leading brand showroom for the traditional dresses for both men and women.
Girls have been doing shopping for many days so, now that I was here, I also decided to do my shopping.
Samar and I looked at all the options and selected a few. Samar went to try them.
He tried the first one and showed it to everyone. It looked good but everyone said that he should try All 4 he selected.
He tried all of them. Mom, Swati and Manu gave their opinions on them they all selected the second one.
" Sahil what are you waiting for? Go and try your outfits." Mom said and I went to try them. I also tried 4 outfits and I looked at everyone. Mom, Swati and Samar said that 1st and 3rd looked better.
But Manu did not say anything. In fact, she had not even look at me properly.
" Manu what do you think?? " Swati asked.
" Sorry, I did not see. I was busy with my phone. "
" Ok, but you have seen the outfits, which of these do you think are better? " Swati asked again.
" It doesn't matter, what I like, it is him, who has to wear so he has to decide. He must be quite capable of choosing what is good for him. " She said as if she was taunting me.
My mom was talking to Sagar to call him here.
" Of course I would decide... Thanks."
I snapped.
" Hey, Sahil... " Someone said and we all turned to see Mitali coming towards me. I had met her at s club a few days back.
" Hi... Mitali.. right? "
" Absolutely... Trying traditional wear? Oohhhh... you would look very handsome in them. You should not bother about selecting them. I think anything would look good on you. " She said seductively.
Thank God mom was talking on the phone or would have been embarrassed by this girl's seductive tones in front of my mom.
" Thanks, Mitali but still which one you think is better? "
" Let me see ... Ummm these two will look better on you. "
" Thanks, beautiful. " I said looking into her eyes.
" Are you free tonight? "
" Well, I am sorry but I am with my mom and sister and have lots of shopping to do. "
" How about tomorrow then ?? "
" I will let you know, for sure," I said
She said bye to me and went off.
" Hey, Sahil !!.. " Samar mimicked her seductive tone and came near me.
" Shut up Samar... " I said but I couldn't hide my smile.
" Who was she?? Looked very interested in you. "
" So?? I am Sahil Malhotra... Most of the girls are interested in me. I met her a few days back in the club. She came with one of your friends. " I said looking at Manu. But she was busy typing something on her phone.
She smiled after a few seconds and typed again.
Did she even pay heed to what that girl said? How can she be so indifferent towards me? No girl has ever ignored or avoided me as she does... What had I done to her?
Did I ever dated her and then forgot about her? She looked somewhat familiar... But ugh I couldn't recall her.
Sagar also came as mom had called him here. He also selected a few outfits for other functions and tried them and again Miss ice princess gave her valuable suggestions.
Does she think that Sagar and Samar are not capable of selecting their outfits unlike me??
She was even smiling at Sagar. Why?? She is Swati's friend... We both are Swati's brothers... Then why the hell she was friendly with him and seems to have a grudge against me.
Does she like Sagar .... Or... Samar??
What nonsense?? She knows that Sagar is madly in love with Damini... and they are getting married... Samar??.... I don't know... He is cute, handsome, easy to talk to, well educated, independent, successful belongs to a good family.....
Shit!!! Why am I reciting Samar's good points just like Damini.... ??
Well, how does that matter to me, if she ignores me?? She must be stupid as all the girls are crazy about me...
But it seems that you are interested in her...
Oh, will you please shut up... I don't care for such girls... She is just a plain jane... Not my types...
What is your type, Sahil?? You must have dated more than 200 girls till now... Do you know exactly what is your type ??
Get lost .. l don't know, but get one thing is definitely clear...she is not my type.
I like someone who is...... hot, sexy, smart, talented, beautiful, confident, who has an identity of her own. Not some girl next door... She is too plain for me... just a silly, plain girl.
" ..... SAHIL !!!! " Which planet you had gone to?? " Samar laughed.
" Nothing was thinking about something.. "
" Something or someone?? "
" What?? Whom would I think about and why?? "
" That hot girl... Mitali ?? "
" Oh.. please. I don't think about girls... They think about me... " I said and Samar laughed and nodded.
Idiot...
I looked at her again she was talking to someone a bit away from all of us and it seemed that she was enjoying talking to the person as she was smiling and blushing a lot.
Blushing??? Why??
We brought everything we selected and went for dinner.
Manyata's POVWhat the hell does he think of himself?? God's gift to the women of this world??I swear I would have killed him for touching me like that. I slapped him very tightly. He looked shocked as he thought, that I was Swati.I came out of that room and rushed to Damini's room. I was really angry and was trying to control my anger.I wanted to slap him again and again for what he did to me. But I respect his parents and I also promised Sagar Ji, that I will do what he suggested.Damini asked me what happened and I told her. She tried to make me comfortable, but I was just too angry with him." It's ok Manu... Calm down, you slapped him. Right? And he said sorry... "" It is not about what he did today...you know it.. "" I know dear.. but please calm down. Get ready we all are going out for the dinner. "" I don't want to go anywhere please.. you carry on. "
Manyata's POVWe came back after dinner. I was alone in the room as Swati was with aunty and her brothers. I didn't want to intrude on them, so I came back to my room. I checked my phone again and saw a message from a model. She wanted to go get her younger sister's portfolio done by me.I told her that I was in Chandigarh and would come in a month. if she wanted it sooner, she could get it done by someone else.But she replied instantly that she would gladly wait for me.I always had a passion for photography. I used to click the pictures of various places and beautiful natural things like flowers, sunrise, sunsets, birds. Everyone used to praise my pictures and I sent them in many competitions and my pictures got prizes. They were well appreciated.I worked in an ad agency and quickly I gained recognition as a glamour photographer. Gradually people around me started to request me to click their portfolios. I started to take my
Sahil's POVWhy did she cry when Swati was talking about dad?? Why did she run away from the room?Mom and Sagar also went to their rooms." What happened to her? " I asked Swati" I don't know, maybe she missed her parents. " she looked a bit confused too." Then why she is staying away from them? " I asked." She is a photographer, she has an assignment to complete, she is supposed to click pictures of 5 beautiful places like this beautiful city and places around it. She would have to make a cover story on them. That's why she is staying here." She said." How did the two of you became friends? " I asked again." She was studying in Canada as well. " She said casually." Oh ok... I am really tired I must go and sleep now.. good night Sweetie.. "" Bhai, it is Swati.. you know that I don't like being called Sweetie. "" But you love sweets and I love calling you Sweetie. ""
Sahil's POVWe all walked towards the dining table for having breakfast. Mom came out of the kitchen wiping her hands." Mom, I am very hungry, what's in the breakfast? " I asked." Wait for two minutes... it's ready. "Swati and Manu also came out of the kitchen with lots of food. Samar was so happy all of a sudden. But he is a certified foodie.They placed all the things on the table. I checked, there were stuffed paranthas, sweet lassi, Upma and Shahi Zafrani sevaiyaan ( a sweet dish prepared with vermicelli flavoured with cardamom, saffron and dry fruits).My mood lifted up. I pulled a chair and sat down." Wow !! Aunty, It is a feast... Thank God I came here at this time and that I have not had my breakfast. " Samar said rubbing his hands." You should not go to the office without eating beta." Mom said." Aunty, my dad eats a very light breakfast. Just milk and cer
Manyata's POVUncle came just before lunch. We all greeted him. He nodded at me with a smile. Aunty asked him about my dad and he said that the treatment was working very well. He would be absolutely fine in no time.I released the breath I was holding. I was feeling much better now. When Sagar Ji and Satan went back to the office, I went to meet the uncle.I touched his feet and he hugged me. I burst into tears. He kept patting at my back." Don't cry beta your dad is absolutely fine... He is getting better dad by day. He will be fine in no time and then he will be here with all of us. You need to be strong and happy. All he is concerned about is your happiness. " He said And I nodded." I got to know what my stupid son did. I am really ashamed of it. I am sorry beta.... "" No uncle please don't say that you are just like my dad to me. "" But still... Sagar made me promise him that I w
Sahil's POVI was trying to get some sleep but again I was feeling very restless. What was wrong with me?When I was with Mitali and she was trying to be over-friendly with me, I felt a bit restless. Till date, I had never been like that. I enjoyed the company of girls and women. I loved it when they flirted in return.I always made it absolutely clear to all of them, that there would not be any strings attached. It was not serious. Every single girl knew that we were just spending time together and having fun.I told them clearly that they can enjoy till it lasts, but I don't and won't fall in love. So not to expect anything from me.Still, girls always loved to be with me and I enjoyed their flirting. All most every girl had fallen for my good looks, well-built body and charm. But I had never taken advantage of any girl.I kept thinking about the events of the last few days. I was a bit surprised to see that this gi
Sahil's POVSamar saw me and said, " Oh, it's so good we all are here. "I introduced everyone to each other. Of course, Samar and Raima knew each other. After that Sagar and Damini went dancing." How??? I mean, how, all of you are here all of a sudden? " I asked Samar." I don't know Sagar made the program. He asked me to bring Damini here. He said he wanted to party... And this was the best place to dine, wine and dance. " Samar said he was still holding Manu's hand.He pulled her again and they started dancing. I was surprised to see that she was dancing very well. They both were smiling but I was kind of uncomfortable now.That friend of Samar was dancing nearby with Swati. After some time he asked if he could dance with Manu and Samar nodded. Samar and Swati were dancing now while Manu was dancing with that stranger. He said something to her and she smiled. She was looking very pretty." Shall we go now? "
Sahil's POVI caught her hand and we came out." What was that?? " I asked Raima in a raised voice. I was literally irritated with her. She spoilt the evening of my family as well." What?? " she looked at me with feigned innocence." Why did you have to say all that? " I said as soon as I started driving my car." What did I say? "" You pretended to be my girlfriend. As if we were courting. "" So?? We are dating, are we not? " she said." Listen to one thing and once for all, I am not interested in any relationship. I made it clear in the beginning, that I don't do love. Please keep that in your mind and don't ever try that again. "" But Sahil... "" No discussion on this, how can you say all that in front of my family, my younger sister? It was so embarrassing. "" Ok fine.. sorry. I was just trying to be friendly with them... "" There was just no need
