Bewitched

Chapter 23

Mohit's POV

Harry got everything I asked for and I saved my number on the phone and gave a missed call to my number to save her number. It was evening and I had to go home.

I opened the door and an amazing aroma hit my nose. I loved coming home since Srusti has come to live in my home. She was a nice girl and an amazing cook.

She smiled at me and asked me what would I have tea or coffee? But I told her that I had it in the office. She nodded and after some time, she gave me Mexican corn on the cob as snacks. It was awesome. Hot, spicy and sweet. Amazing.

" Wow !!! They are so good. Here I got these for you. " I said with a smile and then gave her the shopping bags and the phone.

" Why so many bags?? " She asked.

" You will need them. "

" One pair of footwear and one bag was enough. "

" Let's not argue, please... Here is your phone. I have saved my number in it."

" Mohit Ji, you didn't need to bye such an expensive phone for me. "

" Please Srusti, you would be my wife, my family would expect this. In fact, they would buy many more things for you. Please it is ok... Don't feel awkward about them. " I said and she looked more guilty.

" Say something?? "

" I have never lied to anyone, I feel as if I am cheating those lovely people. "

" Listen, dear, you are not doing any such thing, I am doing it. They are my family, I know how to handle them. I made this plan, as I wanted my daadi and mom to take treatment and be absolutely fine.  It was like a cure for them, So please don't feel guilty as you are helping them. " She gave me a faint smile and went back to the kitchen.

I went to my room to relax for some time. In about half an hour, she knocked on my door.

" Dinner is ready... " She said and I nodded and followed her out.

She was unusually quiet today. The food was awesome as usual. We finished it and I told her to pack her bags. I gave her one stroller too.
" You can call me whenever you want. If you need anything, if you want to know anything or if you feel guilty, please talk to me. "

She nodded and started doing it. And I came to my room.

********

It was morning and after breakfast, we both went to my parent's house.

My mother was already discharged from the hospital and was waiting for me to drop Srusti at their place.  Daadi would be discharged soon, Maya and Viraj had gone to get her discharged. Dad was back and came out of his room to meet us.

He hugged me and caressed Srusti's head when she touched his feet and said, " God bless you, beta. Be happy. "

"  So, you finally, found a nice girl. Your mom has been talking about Srusti since she came home. I wanted to meet her. She seems to be a very nice girl. I am happy for both of you. " He said. I was happy that everyone was satisfied.

I took my leave and went to my office.

I sent the pictures to Maya to select whatever they wanted.

I worked for the whole day. Srusti had called up to ask me to come for lunch or send someone so that she could send it to me. I sent someone home. She sent me very tasty food.  All the things were my favourite. It seems mom told her about my favourite dishes in detail. Life seemed to be coming back to track on this front.
