Bewitched

Chapter 2

Mohit's POV

I went outside and saw Manu clicking pictures of Wasim and Monisha. I was amazed by her dedication. It was not easy to come to work, on the next day of your wedding.

I still remember my meeting with her husband Sahil Malhotra. I was shocked...

That day, Manu came to the workshop with a man. I had met him at a wedding, which Manu had gone to attend in Chandigarh.  He was really handsome and attractive. I liked him a lot, But before I could talk to him, I felt that there was some tension between both of them.

He said he was her boyfriend and I got angry with her as I used to tell her everything about myself. I still remember she came to talk to me the next day. But I didn't want to talk to her. I don't know why, but I felt bad.

" I am sorry Mohit... I should have told you about him. "

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

" Please Mohit, at least hear me out. "

" What?? I asked you so many times about him but You always refused to say anything. Why do you want to talk to me about him now? "

" I know... I am sorry... But I didn't want to talk about him. "

" So why now?? Had trouble in paradise earlier... And now everything is settled? Passion filled moments and all that... haan?  "

Why was I sounding jealous?? I didn't love her... I mean, I did... But not in that way. But then why??

Maybe, I was feeling insecure about losing her.

" Mohit Please... It's not like that. It's not like that at all. "

" Please what, Manu ?? What do you want to tell me now?? I don't want to hear anything now... Your boyfriend already told us many things. "

" Mohit... "

" Please yaar, I felt betrayed. let us not talk about your boyfriend. "

" He is not my boyfriend... " 

"  What?? What the hell?? " I asked. She started crying.

Why was she crying?? What happened?? Was she in any kind of problem?? I would kill that man if he did something...

" Why did he say all that ?? Why ?? What the hell is going on?? Who is he?? " I took her in my arms and patted her back to calm her.

" He is my husband.... "

She said and I was shocked. No... That was not possible. 

I always thought that I was an important part of her life... But she had a husband??

" How?? How can he be... You are married to him?? How ?? When?? Why??" I was so shocked. I wanted her to deny it.

She told me everything... From the beginning.

" What the hell?? Who gets married like that?? " I was feeling bad...

" I know... But I had no option. "

" Why didn't you tell me?? "

" I was shocked... "

" I would have helped you. "

" How?? "

" I would have married you... " I said.

I really would have... She was the only woman I could live with... We get along well. 

" What ?? Are you insane ?? "

" No, I am serious. "

" Mohit!! But you... "
