Bewitched

Chapter 34

Mohit's POV

Everyone was there and just then, everyone looked towards the door just behind us.

I turned to see her and I was rooted to the ground. She was wearing a dress designed by me, making it look much better.

She looked beautiful, elegant and sophisticated. A bit older than her real age but really breathtaking.

She looked at me with her big brown orbs and then looked away shyly. I went close to her.

" Wow !! Srusti, you are looking simply stunning. " Bending forward, I gave her a peck on her cheek. She gasped slowly and looked anywhere but me.

Oh, God !! She was so cute... Everyone was looking at us.

" Shall we go for our first formal date, darling?" She seemed to be startled by the endearment, I delivered so smoothly. She swallowed and turned an adoring face at me and nodded.

Mom clicked some more pictures of both of us. She told us to strike some romantic poses.

She was blushing as usual and somehow, I felt good. Maya made me hold her more closely to myself and then winked at me.

Oh God, my family is really crazy...

We were looking into each other's eyes. I could not take my eyes off her.

Srusti's POV

Despite knowing it was all an act, I was getting affected. I was actually living every single moment. I even felt myself blossoming under his attention.

But then I scolded myself reminding my stupid heart that it was a deal. As it is, even as improved as my looks were today, I was still far short of the sort of females, he would go after.

I wanted to see Manu once as he was in love with her. She must be an amazing girl. I was shocked when he pecked on my cheek. My heart stopped beating for a few seconds.

Well after about 15 minutes of endless teasing from Maya di and striking poses as Maa insisted while she clicked our pictures, we came out of the house and  Mohit made me sit in his car.

" So, how are you?? " He asked with a smile.

" I am fine. "

" Did Maya asked you anything?? " He asked.

" Yeah, she asked me about us. "

" And ?? "

" And I said that we loved each other. But she still said that she had her doubts. I tried to convince her and in the end, she looked convinced. " I told him everything.

" Really?? But we need to be cautious about it. " He said.

" Yeah... "

" By the way, you are looking very pretty today. "

" Thanks, this dress is very nice... "

" But you made it look even better. Even better than the girl who modelled for this design. "

" Nothing like it. It is a very pretty dress. "

" But you are prettier. So where do you want to go after lunch? "

" Home... "

" Penthouse?? "

" No, I mean your parents house. "

" No, have mercy on me, Maya would kill me if we go home anytime before dinner. In fact, I think we should go back only after dinner. "

" Ok, if you say so... "
