Chapter 25
Manyata's POV
I went to the room which was reserved for Damini and bent to take out Sagar Ji's shoes from under the bed. When I got up, I saw Satan standing there.
I was a bit shocked but ignored him and tried to get out of the room. But he was standing in the door frame.
"Excuse me, will you please get a side?" I said.
"Why?"
"What do you mean by why? I have to go out. Sagar ji is waiting for his shoes.."
"Yeah, so give me the shoes, I will take them there." He smiled.
"Thanks, but no thanks... They are not that heavy. I can carry them. "
"But they belong to my brother..."
"So what? How does that matter? Please get a side.
"No first you give that to me." he said
"Forget it."
"I will not let you go with them." He said again.
"Why??" I asked him.
"This is not fair. "
"What is not fair??"
"You people should have told us that you were planning this. We would have been prepared." he said to me.
"Wasn't that obvious?? It is a wedding ritual. "
"Yeah... But Damini is a single child. She doesn't have a sister who could do that."
"She is just like my sister. "
"When did you meet her? Just a month ago?? She became your sister?"
"Time does not strengthen the relationship. Mr. Malhotra."
"I am not here to argue. Give me the shoes. "
"No way... I will either give it to Sagar ji or Samar ji. "
"Oh yes.... of course Samar ji.. Right??" he said in a condescending way.
"What does that mean?"
"You both are cheaters. "
"What?? How?? "
"You both were supposed to be on our side. You are Swati's friend not Damini's. Samar is my friend. "
" Samar ji is also her brother now."
"Oh please, stop giving explanations for your precious Samar ji. " He again used that tone.
"Precious ??"
"Let it be, just give me the shoes. "He said and came towards me.
"No way... Please get aside, I will not give it to you. "
"And I will not let you get away with that cheating."
"
He came towards me and I stepped back. I lost my balance as the back of my knees hit the bed. I was about to fall when he pulled my hand and I was saved from falling but then he smacked his arm around my waist.
He pulled me to him. His hand caressed my bare waist. I felt some kind of a shudder in my body.
Shit!! I felt the sparks at the area of contact.
My body was plastered to his. My one hand holding the shoes and another on his chest.
He was looking at me with some alien emotion in his eyes.
I tried to get out of his arms. But he tightened his arm around my waist and tried to take the shoes out of my hand with his other hand. He never stopped looking into my eyes.
I bent my arm and to keep it away from his reach I held the shoes behind my back.
His upper body leaned into mine and his hand went behind my back and he caught the shoe. Oh god!!! Even a paper could not pass from between us.
I twisted my body to get out of his grip and we both fell on the bed.
I was shocked and looked at him. His arms were still around me. He was shocked too. We kept looking at each other. I felt the same kind of sparks all over my body.
I looked at him and tried to get up but he smiled and held me by placing his hand on my bare back and caressed it lightly.
Shit!!! I shuddered again. He must have felt that too as he smirked at me. Idiot..... I hate him.
He was bending his head towards me and I panicked and hit him on his head with sagar Ji's shoe twice.
As he was not expecting it, I took advantage of situation and got up. I was bout to run out of the room when he caught one of the
I tried to snatch it but he snatched it with more force. Now we each had one shoe.
I couldn't take it from him so I ran out with just one shoe.
I was almost running towards all of them.
I had only one shoe in my hand. Everyone was surprised to see only one shoe.
"Where is the other one? I need the whole pair Manu.." Sagar ji smiled at me.
"He snached it from me..."
"Who ??"
"Your brother.. "
"Sahil ??"
"Hmmm " I said.
I saw him coming with another shoe and I glared at him.
"Why ??? Did you do that Sahil?" Sagar ji asked him.
"It was our thing and they stole it... So I wanted them back. What is ours, is ours. " he said.
"Sahil it is a ritual..." Samar said.
"I don't care..." Sahil said in an angry tone..
"Ok.... Don't argue.. here Anshu, take this..." Sagar ji gave her the money... But Satan stopped him.
"Give only half the money... I have one of these. " he showed one of the shoes.
"Then wear that one and go... We don't want your money. Manu gave that shoe to me." Samar said and laughed. I gave that shoe to him. "Sahil, let it be... It is just a ritual. " Sagar ji said and he nodded. But went away from there after glaring at us.
Thank God the most irritating person left....
Sagar ji was giving the money but Samar ji refused to take it. He gave the shoe back to him.
"We don't need to just take very good care of my sister." Samar ji said.
Sagar ji smiled and nodded at him.
Sagar ji offered it again to Anshu and me. But we shook our heads too and smiled.
"Ok if you will not take this then I will get some gifts for you.. " he said and we smiled.
Sahil's POV
We all went to have food. Two big tables were arranged for our family and friends. We all settled down to have food. Damini was sitting with sagar.
As usual his friends again started to tease them. They all made him eat a lot.
Manu was sitting between Swati and Vikram and was talking to Vikram. They were smiling a lot. Manu seemed very comfortable with him. She was busy talking to Vikram.
Vikram ?? Why? Didn't she know that he was married? And Vikram, has he gone mad?? What would his wife say?? Should I remind them that? No why should I??
Samar was sitting besides me and was looking so adoringly at Manu. For the first time, I noticed that he was interested in something else when so much food was lying in front of him. He must be serious about her.
"Eat your food. It is getting cold. " I said to him.
"Very hot..." He said, still looking at her.
"What ???"
"What?? Oh.. I mean it is very hot. "
Why do I feel that he was talking about her?? I swear, I will.... Ughhh.
I wanted to punch some sense into him. Idiot.... how can he look at her like that?? Why doesn't he just look around and see there are other girls too?? Why her??
But she was looking extremely beautiful. I was still annoyed with her but I kept ogling at her.
I don't know why I was feeling like that but I was feeling suffocated. I was getting irritable and annoyed. I could not eat anything.
After we all got off the table, I saw a tall fair and very handsome guy coming towards the girls. He patted on Manu's shoulder.
She turned and was so happy to see him. He immediately hugged her and she hugged him back.
What the hell?? Who was he now??
He was saying something to her and again she blushed.
Blushing??? Why the hell, was she blushing?? What did that guy say to her? Who was he? Who was he to her?? I could see his arm around Manu's waist. That was too much....
I didn't realise but I was panting now."
