Chapter 27 - Happiness

At the Mansion :

Marco and Elliot both of them are getting ready for shopping when suddenly Elliot's phone buzzes. "Wait let me check." Marco takes the phone and unlocks the screen. "What is it?" Elliot asks from inside the bathroom. Marco doesn't response. He silently watches a video sent from an unknown number. He takes his phone and calls Antony. "Hey, I'm sending you a number, track it as soon as possible and inform me." he says and cuts the call. Marco realizes that someone is trying to blackmail Elliot by sending a video of him and Edward. He saves that mms on his phone and deletes it from Elliot's. "Whose message is it?" Elliot comes out of the bathroom. Marco immediately hides his phone and looks at him. "Uh.. nothing.. just a spam message." he replies. "Okay." Elliot takes his phone from him. Then both of them take the car and head towards the mall.

At the Mall:

Marco stops the car in front the shopping mall and they enters in. First they heads towards the jewellery store to buy the rings. "Welcome sir. Tell me how can I help you?" the shopkeeper greets them. Marco and Elliot sits on the chairs nearby. "Show me the most beautiful and expensive rings." Marco says. Elliot gives him a look but doesn't say anything. "Sure sir, here are some most beautifully designed rings for you." the shopkeeper shows them the rings. "Choose whatever you want baby." Marco looks at Elliot. "How costly are they?" Elliot asks the man. "Oh come on honey, You are literally roaming around with a bank, still you are worried about the price?" Marco smirks. Elliot sighs. "Anyways, we want four pairs. One for the engagement and one for the wedding. So, show me some more." Marco says. The shopkeeper shows them more beautiful rings. "This one looks good, uhm.. this one too." Elliot looks at the rings. "Alright then, We are taking these four pairs." Marco says and takes out his card. "Sir, your total price is one million dollar." the shopkeeper says and handovers the boxes. "Didn't you have something a little more expensive?" Marco pays the bill. "Oh God, this guy is crazy!" Elliot mumbles. They stand up and leave the store.

"Is there anything else left to buy?" Elliot asks. "Yes, our sherwani for the engagement." Marco replies. He takes his hand and enters a store. "What is this sherwani?" Elliot asks. "Uh.. it's an Indian outfit for the grooms." Marco replies. Elliot nods. "Well, show us some gorgeous sherwani for the engagement." Marco says to the female shopkeeper. "Of course sir. Here are some designs for you." she shows the catalogue. "You choose, I will come right away." Marco says and walks outside.

"Was the work given by me done or not?" Marco asks on the call. "We are doing it sir, don't worry." the man replies. "I want that list in a week. If I don't get it, then see what I do." Marco cuts the call and enters the store.

Marco stands next to Elliot. "Did you like anything?" he asks. "Yes yes. Uhm.. this sky blue one. But I guess I will have to wear it once to see if it fits or not." Elliot replies. "You're not so fat that it won't fit." Marco winks. Elliot gives him a death stare. "Where is the trial room?" he asks the lady. "That way sir." the lady replies. Elliot takes the sherwani and walks towards the trial room. Marco follows him.

Before Elliot closes the door Marco walks in. "What the.. Marco, what are doing here?" Elliot shouts. Marco locks the door and slowly approaches him. "I'm here for your security baby." he says. Elliot blinks his eyes. "And if you want, I can help you a little." Marco winks. Elliot hangs the sherwani on the rod and looks at him. Marco is so close that he can feel his breaths. "Do you wanna help?" he asks. Marco nods. Elliot holds his shoulders. "Okay then. I'm taking off my clothes and you..." he whispers in his ears. "And I?" Marco asks. "And you, stand quietly looking back holding my clothes." Elliot turns him back. "Wait, what?" Marco shouts. Elliot laughs. Marco sighs and stands there quietly. "If you turn around I'll break your teeths." Elliot says. Marco rolls his eyes. "Yeah perfect. This is fitting me." Elliot looks at the mirror. "Can I see?" Marco tries to turn around. "No!" Elliot stops him. "Ughh.." Marco mumbles. "Okay I'm done, you can turn around now." Elliot says. "What's the point now?" Marco looks away. "Aww.. look at you poor guy." Elliot giggles.

Marco holds his arms and pulls him closer. "If this continues, I swear I will find someone else. And you can make do with a vibrator at home." Marco says. Elliot stays silent, he has no idea how to response. They comes out of the trial room and buys the sherwanis. They buys some perfumes and shoes as well and leaves for home.

At the Mansion :

They reaches home safely. Marco handovers the rings to Maya and shows her the sherwanis. "Nice choice huh I love these." she says. "Thanks ma." Marco hugs her. Elliot sits on the sofa. "Oh, by the way, your cousin brother Atharv is here for the wedding." Maya introduces him. "Oh my God!" Marco immediately hugs him. "How are you bro?" Atharv asks. "I'm absolutely fine." Marco replies. They breaks the hug. Maya takes the rings with her and walks towards her bedroom. "Hey meet my fiance, Elliot." Marco sits next to Elliot. "Yeah I know. Aunty told me already. Nice to meet you by the way." Atharv says. Elliot shakes his hands and smiles. "Where's your mom? Isn't she coming?" Marco asks. "No.. And I hope you know why." Atharv replies. Marco nods. Elliot looks at him with confusion. Antony comes and stands in front of them. "Uh.. you guys continue, I'm coming in a minute." Marco says and walks away.

"What's the matter?" Marco asks. "Sir, We tracked the number you gave. And we found that the number is belongs to UK." Antony replies. Marco takes a deep breath. "I want that person alive. Find him as soon as possible. And yes, no one at home should know especially Elliot. You got me?" he says. "Yes sir." Antony says back and leaves.

Elliot and Atharv are sitting in the living room. "I know this is weird but, What should I call you? I mean, here we call the elder brother's partner as 'Bahini'. I don't know what to call you? Should I call you by name or.." Atharv looks nervous. Elliot holds his laugh and looks at him. "Call me anything you want. I won't mind." he says. "Okay.." Atharv says. "Come quickly and eat your food, everyone. There is a lot of work tomorrow." Maya shouts from the kitchen. All of them sits on the dining table and starts eating. Suddenly Marco's phone buzzes. He checks his message and his face turns serious. He types something and puts it back in his pocket.

After finishing the dinner everyone wishes good night and enters their bedroom. Elliot makes the bed and lies down while Marco stares at him. "What?" Elliot asks. Marco closes the door behind and jumps on the bed. "We are getting engaged tomorrow, are you excited?" he asks. Elliot rests his head on his chest and closes his eyes. "Very much." he replies. Marco smiles and kisses his hair. After cuddling each other finally they fall asleep hugging each other.
