Bewitched

Chapter 65

Mohit's POV

I imagined Srusti standing there with one of Manu's daughters.

What was that?? Was it my imagination??

Maybe I was missing her so much... But she looked very real.

Was she really my Srusti??

What was happening?? I was literally rooted to the floor.

Manu turned to look at them. "Hey Srusti !!! Come, meet my friend, Mohit. "

What ????

She was here?? In my office??

Oh God !!! This was not my imagination. I was still too shocked to react.

The child was clapping and jumping and all of a sudden she tried to jump out of Srusti's arms.

Manu ran towards her in alarm.

Srusti caught the child in time but lost her balance and was about to fall when someone held her in his arms. 

I don't know whether I was relieved or tense to see that.

I saw that Sahil was holding her tightly.

What the hell??? Sahil ?? I just wanted to get her out of his arms.

Srusti just said thank you to him in a low voice and looked apologetic. Sahil gave her an assuring smile and said, " Don't worry Srusti, it's ok... "  Manu took Sanya in her arms as Srusti still seemed a bit shocked just like me.

" No, l am sorry, I should have been more careful. "  She said to Manu and Sahil. Her eyes were full of tears.  Manu shook her head to make her feel comfortable and was also trying to control the excited baby. 

Sahil hugged her lightly and patted her back. It was a normal friendly gesture to soothe a shocked person. But I wanted to punch Sahil. I felt as if I was on hot coals.

" Hey Sahil, good to see you. " I said with a smile extending my hand for a handshake. He released her and took my hand and then pulled me into an embrace. 

Thank god he released her. I exhaled as if I had been holding it for so long.

" Hi, Tailor... How are you?? Happy that Manu is back??"  He was smiling like anything.

" You can't even imagine... " I smiled.

" I know... I am leaving my girls here with you. Take good care of them. "

" I would, don't worry..." I wanted to meet him for so long but right now I was not very comfortable having him around Srusti.

" I am sure of that. So, how is life?? "

" Good !"

" Hey beautiful, you forgot their food on the table.  So I brought it for my princesses. " Sahil said to Manu and she smiled.

" Thanks, darling. " She said and smiled at him. They looked at each other with so much love.

I asked him to come to my office as I needed to talk to him. But he said that he had to go to an urgent meeting.

He kissed Manu and the twins and then he shook hands with me and said bye to me. He turned to go and saw Srusti with a sad face and took her hand in his large one and patted with the other one, " It's ok, sweetie... Nothing happened. And these things do happen with toddlers. They are too excited about their surroundings. Don't worry. Now just smile. Ok ?? " He said and left. It seemed as if they were very close.
