Bewitched

Chapter 38

Srusti's POV

" Did Maya ask about the date? "

" Yes, I said we had lunch and were planning to go for a movie and shopping but you started having a migraine. "

" Oh ok, so you are staying here tonight?? "

" Hmmm "

" It is not good to stay with your would be groom in the same house just before wedding. " He said teasing me.

" It is not good to leave your only friend alone when he is not well. " I said with a smile. He smiled but it looked like a sad one.

" Don't distract me, finish your food. " I said raising one of my eyes.

" No, I have had enough. It might not be bad, but I don't like it as well. "

" You are so fussy. Fine, now take a rest. "

" Hmmm but I am not sleepy. " 

" Mohit Ji, you need to take a rest. "

" Ji??? Don't add Ji with my name. "

" Then take rest or I will call you Mohit Ji for the rest of your life. "

" Really?? "

" What?? "

" You would call me Mohit Ji for the rest of my life? "  He asked with a different expression, I could not understand what he meant.

" Yeah !! Now enough of this, take rest. Let me know if you need anything. Good night. "

" Are you going to sleep now? "

" It is just 9 PM, can't sleep just now. May watch something on TV. "

" Ok... "  He said and I came out and went to my room.

I thought about the day's events. He proposed to me on his bent knee. Then he made me wear all those jewellery pieces. He was standing so close to me, I could feel the heat of his body.

I just can't forget the way he looked at me when I came into the living room after getting ready for our date.

My heart stopped the way he was ogling me. Was that look fake as well?? My heartbeat had increased by just the way he looked at me and pecked on my cheek.

Even the lunch was awesome till that couple came. He looked tense, the moment he saw them. Who were they?? Was that man his friend as the man said? Somehow it didn't look like that. And that woman... I felt bad when that girl tried to kiss him.

Thank God, he turned his face but I still felt bad.

But why??  My inner voice asked.

I don't know...

For God's sake control your feelings. All this is fake. He is in love with someone else.

I know, I am not interested in him, it's just that I don't think people should behave like that.

Rubbish !! You were jealous.

No way... I was not.

Good, though you are lying, I want you, not to feel jealous at all. He does not belong to you.

Yeah... I know.

Mohit's POV

She went out of my room and somehow I felt that the lights went out. There seemed to be darkness around me. She was like a ray of light... Beautiful, pure and innocent.
