I didn't know... But didn't care at the moment. I just kept driving carefully. After driving for about 3 hours, I finally reached Ranikhet.I took a deep breath and parking the car in the market parking lot, I went into a coffee house and ordered a coffee and a fruit muffin. And then following his very precise landmark locations and directions, I finally reached his farmhouse. I pulled up outside his home. It looked huge and beautiful. It was a mansion. It had a very English type of structure. I got out of the car and stood in front of the two-storeyed, white building with lots of windows. There was a lot of pine trees lined up around the boundaries of the property. The place looked beautiful with lush green grass lawns. Just then the main door of the house opened and Robert came with a butler following him. " Avni! I am glad you are here. Welcome to my home !! " He said. He looked very good in dark-coloured trousers and a light coloured sweater. I saw him coming towards me.
He opened the door of a room and stood back, allowing me to enter the room first. It was very nice, somehow I had this feeling that I would be treated as a member of the family and not like some casual governess. This room proved my point. It was very big and beautiful. My breath was caught at the beauty of it. It had more antique furniture in the shape of wardrobes, chest of drawers and dressing tables, completed with the four-poster bed draped in cream velvet with coffee coloured hand embroidered tie backs with matched curtains at the windows. " Oh, my God !! This room is lovely. " " I thought you would be comfortable in this room as it has a view of the front garden. Did you like it? " " It is awesome!! Beautiful !! Thanks a lot. " I said with a smile. " I am glad you liked it, I just wish that you get very happy here. I wanted you to be very comfortable. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything else. " He said and I was really touched by the way he talked. H
Avni's POVI helped them to get changed into nightwear and told them a sweet fable.It was almost 15 minutes when I joined him. He was having a drink and smiled at me and asked me my preference. " Thanks, but I do not drink. " " What?? Seriously?? Never?? " He was surprised and I nodded with a smile. " I just had once or twice with John but didn't like it. "He finished the drink and asked me to come with him. We walked side by in the open area. I don't know why but it felt really good. I wanted to keep walking with him. We reached the place where I had left my car. But it was nowhere to be seen now. " My car was parked here, right?? " I asked out of curiosity." I had it garaged for you. I will show you around in the morning. " He said and I nodded." You must be a very good driver since you came here driving all by yourself. Have you been driving for long? "" Ever since I became 18 years old. " " Thanks for this, I got my answer. " He said and laughed. " Oh, I am sorry th
Avni's POV " How can I let you go alone on the very first morning after all you are family. " He said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. Was he offended?? Or was he making fun of me?? " I am sorry for the way I behaved yesterday. " I said to him. " Not at all... in fact, I was thinking of calling your dad. " He said all of a sudden and it seemed as if someone had robbed me of my breaths. " What?? No !! Why?? " I almost said too quickly and in a very harsh tone. He was a bit surprised at my sudden reaction. " Just the basic courtesy call, thanking him for letting you come and assuring him that you would not have any problem here as you are a part of my family only." He replied to me very calmly. I was shocked at what he was planning to do. " No !!!! " I said quite forcefully. N" What happened?? " He asked me. My reaction made him suspicious. " Please don't do that... " I almost pleaded with him. " Your reaction was a little too much. Are you scared of something or someo
Siddharth's POV" Come fast Sid, I am very hungry, They must have served breakfast, I don't want to miss the tasty Rajasthani food. " Parth said.I shook my head and went to the restaurant where a breakfast buffet was served. Many of our colleagues were already there eating food. There was all kind of breakfast dishes but Parth was very keen on eating Rajasthani food.We took some food on our plates and came to one of the tables. Parth was busy eating but I was looking around." Whom are you waiting for?? Enjoy the food while you are in Rajasthan. The food is awesome." Parth said enjoying the hot pyaj kachori ( onion stuffed kachoris) and Mirchi Vada. ( Stuffed Jalapeños pakoras)" Hmmm yeah!! " My eyes were still scanning the dining room." Don't tell me you are looking for that junior doctor. What is wrong with you?? "" Nothing, just eat your food. It is amazing a bit spicy but very good. "" Don't change the topic now. What are you waiting for?? Do you think that she would come an
Siddharth's POVShe got up and came towards us confidently.I was still looking at her. She was an above-average looking girl but there was something about her that was drawing my attention to her." Yes ma'am ?? "" So... fresher you were smiling?? "" Ummm... yes ma'am, sorry but it was hilarious. "" But you were not supposed to smile. Now you will be punished or have to pass a test."" Ok ma'am," She said confidently. I liked her, while all the other freshers were a bit scared, she looked quite confident.My batchmate said something in her ear, she smiled and nodded." Go, fresher... " my batchmate said and she left.I wanted to know what task was given to her but I wanted to see what she was doing.I followed her and saw that she went outside and saw a guy in an open gipsy. She talked to him for 5 minutes and then smiled and said something but I could not hear as I was too far off.She came back and said, "Ma'am, I asked for his matrimonial biodata. His name is Nihal. He compl
Siddharth's POVParth was right, if she was not bothered, why should I be?? I decided to forget everything and enjoy the trip with my friends.We all enjoyed that day and then all of us had planned a bonfire at night. The nights were quite cold as it was just the last week of February.We all were sitting there the light romantic music was on. We all played many games and few couples were dancing, engrossed in each other.Just then a junior doctor, Dr Isha came to me and asked if I would like to dance with her.I looked at Shruti as I wanted to dance with her... But she was engrossed in talking to that male friend of hers. I got so annoyed that I nodded and we started dancing. Isha was dancing too close to me. I looked at Shruti from the corner of my eyes and saw that she was looking at us.I knew that look, she was getting irritated to see me dancing with another girl. But so was I. Why couldn't she talk to me and let me tell exactly what had happened?She was not ready to talk
Siddharth's POVI called my brother to inform him that I was coming home. But his phone was switched off. I looked at my watch, it was just half-past eight.He must be at home at this time, so I called on the landline but no one picked up the phone.Where was Bhai??I had to inform him so I thought of leaving a message with the neighbours.I looked for their number and hit the dial. The bell was ringing. Finally, someone picked it up." Hello? " I heard a very beautiful voice from another end of the line.It must be Maurvi, My neighbour. She was very sweet and pretty. I had always liked her for her very sweet nature. I used to flirt with her a lot but she never took me seriously. I don't know why but my charm never worked on her.Was she immune to me ?? Was she interested in someone else??" Hi, beautiful!!! How are you? " I said." I am sorry, may I know, who is this ?" She asked politely." What ?? You forgot me ??? I mean out of sight, out of mind? I did not expect that from y
