Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 36

Manyata's POV

" Harry !!! Make a call to Niharika and fix an appointment at 10 AM for tomorrow. Tell her to be on time. And call our make up and hairstyles expert. I want every single thing to the perfection. " Mohit said to his assistant. Harry nodded confidently.

" Get coffee and sandwiches for us. " Mohit said again. Harry nodded and went away.

" So ?? " Mohit asked looking into my eyes.

" So what?? "

" Who were your new friends? "

" Family friends.... "

"  Oh, ok... And that handsome twin of the groom? "

" What about him? " I snapped.

" Cool honey..... I was just asking... "

" What were you asking? " I said too quickly.

" Any connection with that handsome? "

" Why do you think, there is. Connection? " I asked him back.

" I felt some sparks coming off him when we were together. " He said with a smile and winked at me.

" You must have imagined them. " I said to put an end to his teasing.

" That is one thing, I am never wrong about. Sweetheart. But you looked amazing in that dress I made for you.  And it seemed, he could not take his eyes off you. "

" Mohit will you please shut up? " I glared at him.

" Why?? I am just talking to you... "

" I don't want to talk about him.  Can we talk about work? "

" Are you sure, you don't want to talk about him? " he looked at me as if he was trying to read my thoughts.

" Yes... Positively. "

" Are you sure, you are absolutely fine and ready to work?

" Yeah... That's why I am back. " I tried to look enthusiastic.

" What happened?? " He caught my hand and asked looking into my eyes.

" Nothing... I am back."

"  I can see that, but something seems off. "

" Mohit... I don't want to talk about it."

" Ok fine... But I am not leaving the topic forever. "

We enjoyed our coffee and sandwiches as always.

He does not eat proper 3 time meals. I always used to fight with him and got food for him whenever we were working together. He has always been a fussy, not one about eating. But made him eat everything, even what he didn't like.

I came back home and helped bhabhi to cook Rajasthani food as we all loved it.

We prepared kurkuri bhindi, Rajasthani kadhi, lahsun ki chatni, bajre ki roti and mawa kachori.

" But bhabhi... "

" Tell me Manu, do you like Sahil Ji? " bhabhi asked me.

" No bhabhi... " I said with my face downwards.

" Look into my eyes, and tell me. "

" What do I tell you bhabhi?? There are few things that I don't even want to think but they don't get out of my mind. I will share with you, provided you promise that you will not tell bhai sa. " I said and she nodded.

" Bhabhi I don't know, what is wrong with me. I hate him for making me feel so bad. Bhabhi he said that I was brainless, spineless, good for nothing,  a burden on my family and him too. He kind of humiliated me. He never turned up again. I mean I would have signed those divorce papers without even thinking, but the way he behaved and that letter he sent me, made me hate him. Mom and dad think that I am living happily ever after with him. They don't even know that their son-in-law loves to spend his evening in nightclubs with other women. "  Sandhya bhabhi was listening very carefully.

" Did you see any difference in his behaviour? Because when we saw, I felt that he has feelings for you. " Sandhya bhabhi said.

" Bhabhi, I saw that he got very uncomfortable when uncle was trying to tell Sagar Ji about marriage. Then at the wedding, I saw him getting very uncomfortable while the rituals were going on.  Somehow I felt he was thinking about Manyata and feeling guilty that he did that to her.  Bhabhi,  I hate him... But whenever he came closer or touched me, my heartbeat increased. I felt shudders in my body. I don't know why I feel like that.  "

"It's ok, Manu. I understand what you must have undergone. "

" No bhabhi, bhai sa loves you so much. You can't understand how I felt. I felt bad for myself. Everyone had a very loving partner. You all looked so much in love with your spouse.  While our marriage was a sham. I don't even know If I am married or not. My husband doesn't even know the meaning of marriage. I felt so bad that everyone had someone who loved them unconditionally. I also had feelings, some dreams regarding my life partner. I also wanted a husband who loved me and took care of me. I wanted him to understand my fears and dreams,  I was also forced to have this marriage But bhabhi I would have tried to be a good life partner. Bhabhi my marriage was a joke. "

" There was a time, I hated Vikram so much. But gradually he made me fall in love with him. "

" What?? You hated him?? Why?? " I was shocked to hear that.

" He was being prejudiced about me even before he met me. He also said so many bad things about me and I was hurt like hell.  I was really angry with him. No, I hated him. But gradually I started falling for him as well. "

" Wow!! I wish someone loved me too. "  I said with a long face.

" Don't think too much, but I think that Sahil Ji has feelings for you. Don't worry things will be alright. Go and sleep now. I will go and see your bhai sa. "

She smiled and went to her room. I came back to mine.
