Manyata's POV
We 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.

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

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....

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

Sahil's POVI got up and dragged myself out of my bed.I had a faint headache so I went to take the medicine. It was quite early. I knew dad won't be there in the dining room so I didn't have to face him.I was trying to find the medicine and finally got it. So I went to the kitchen to get water. I was surprised to see manu there. She was engrossed in her work.She was cooking something. I didn't want to disturb her, so I took out a water bottle silently and kept it on slab and was about to pick glass from the utensil rack near her when she startled and moved abruptly and banged into me.She tried to get away as soon as possible but slipped and was about to fall but I held her.I felt some kind of strange nice feeling with her in my arms. She pushed me on the shoulder and I released her. But for the first time, I felt something strange, something nice..." What are you doing here at this time? " she asked
