Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 56

Manyata's POV

" Mohit, why did you say that you would have married me? "

" I thought that you were bound in a forced marriage to a stranger just to satisfy your parents. I may also have to do that someday.  They would never understand my sexual preferences. I am bisexual, but  I prefer men. You know everything about me still you don't judge me for that. I love you a lot.  So I said that it would have been better if we got married to satisfy our parents at least we are friends and you know very well that you are the only woman I love. We could have gotten married to satisfied our parents and could have lived our lives the way we wanted. "

" Mohit you are crazy, why would I judge... it's is your life... Live it the way you like. But, I don't think like you... "

" What do you mean? "

" I want to be in a normal marriage, where my husband loves me and me only. "

" I understand that... Forget that I ever said that," he said with an apologetic smile.

" Hmm... You are my best friend... Though you are a bit crazy, still I love you. "

" I love you too... But your husband is really hot... Let me know well in advance if you want to divorce him. "

" Get lost... " I smiled at his antics.

" Someone getting possessive over her casanova husband... "

" Shut up and let's work, this has been a very long lunch break... "

" Tell bhabhi that food was awesome today... Very special."

" Hmm, she prepared it especially for Sahil, her Kanwar sa. But he had to leave  for Chandigarh all of a sudden." I said.

" Hmmm.... so that's why your mood was off when you came.  Already missing him ?? "

" You have gone crazy let's work and tell me, why you were so excited when I came. You looked very happy...  What happened ?? "

" I am planning to have an exhibition- cum- auction for my latest collection.  All my masterpieces will also be displayed as well."

" Wow !! That's great... when are you planning to have it?? "

Next month maybe the date is not finalized yet. But we have to work hard I want you to click pictures of my each and every creation. It is going to be very grand. "

" Sure.... "

" So come on beautiful...all set?? "

" Hmmm... " I said and nodded and he came and gave me a very warm hug.

We resumed our work and finished it. We looked at the pictures and then finally packed up and I came home.

Sahil's POV

I reached Chandigarh and went home directly. Mom was in the living room along with Swati.

They were so happy to see me. Mom had tears in her eyes. She hugged me.

" Why didn't you tell me before leaving for Delhi?? Who writes a letter saying that he is going for a few days? You don't care for me. " mom scolded me and twisted my ear just like she used to do when I was a child.

" No ma, I care for you... I love you.." I said and hugged her.

Then Swati threw herself in my arms as usual. I winced a bit as my hand was already hurting a bit after driving for  4 hours.

" What happened bhai?? " Swati looked very concerned. But I hugged her and kissed on her head.

" Nothing... It seems you have gained weight. "

" That is so mean bhai..."

" Where is dad?? I need to talk to him?"

" He is getting ready as we are going to meet  Mathur Sahab and Samar is coming to take us to his place for lunch. I must go and get ready. "

" What?? Why?? "

" Your dad wanted to meet him for a long time he called up and Mathur Bhai Sahab invited us there. Samar is such a nice boy,  Your dad and I want Samar to be a part of our family... So we are going to talk about the wedding. Once Sagar and Damini are back, we will have the formal engagement.  " she said and went into her room.

What?? Have they all gone mad? That is not possible? I won't let it happen. How can Samar agree to this??

I will beat him to a pulp. He has no regard for our friendship. How can you think about it? I will not let that happen.

I ran towards dad's room but just then I saw Samar coming.

I went running to him and said, " What did I say to you before I went to Delhi?? "

" What?? "  He said as if he didn't remember anything.

" Samar !! How can you do that??? " I was annoyed.

" What have I done?? "

" I told you to stay away from Manu. "

" So, I am away from her... she is in Delhi and I am here. " He said innocently.

" Why did you say to Manu that you missed her? "

" Well, because I did... How does that matter?? "

" It matters to me. Just don't even think about her or I will beat you. " I caught his collar.

" I am not.. "  he was saying something but I punched him. I winced more than him as I had forgotten about my hand in rage. I was very angry.

" What happened to you?? " Samar asked with concern. He is really something...

" Nothing... "

" Bhai !! what are you doing?? Leave him... "

" No... How can he think about marrying her? I told him to stay away from her. "

" Bhai calm down, at least listen to him. "

"  How can I calm down when he is planning to marry my wife?? I am not going to divorce her. Not now, not ever... "

" Wow!!! Love you bhai... We all were dying to hear that. We are so happy for both of you. " Swati said and hugged me tightly.

Samar was smiling like anything.

Just then mom also came there. He greeted her.

" Samar you have come?? We are also ready. " Dad also came and smiled at him.

"  Hello, uncle... " He said and smiled. Dad also.

" Hello beta... Let's go, your dad must be waiting. "

" Mom... Dad,  I need to tell you something. I am not going to divorce Manyata. I have already torn the papers. So she is still my wife. "

" What?? Why did you tear them?? " dad asked.

" Because I have realised my mistake, I don't want to take divorce from her anymore. I want her in my life as I really love her. "

" What did you just say?? " dad asked again.

" I said that I love her, dad," I said and Samar and Swati smiled and Swati hugged me.

" Tu jhoot to nahin kah raha hai na?? ( You are not telling lies..are you? )" Mom asked.

" No ma... I really love her...I went to Delhi to apologise...  I will get her back to you very soon mom. "

" Seriously? " mom asked with a smile.

" Yes aunty,  when I called him up in the morning he was in the washroom and Manu picked up his phone. "

" What?? Really ?? "  mom was smiling like anything now. 

" Ji aunty... " Samar was smiling.

" She was staying with you ?? " Mom asked with a very big smile. I kind of liked the way mom asked. I wish she was...

" Mom, I was staying at Vikram's place as I went there for dinner but we got late so he asked me to stay there only... I forgot my phone on the table and went to get ready. The phone was ringing continuously and his name was flashing on the screen so she picked up the phone. " I explained to her.

" I was talking to her when he snatched the phone from her. "

" Why were you saying that you missed her?? "

" Because I did... "

" Samar !! " I was again going to punch but he started laughing again.

" Stop it both of you... Let's go your dad must be waiting for us. It seems to be an auspicious day. Let's talk about the wedding. " Dad said.

What was wrong with him??

" Dad I said, I am not going to divorce her, she is still my wife. Then why are you doing this??"

" I am happy beta that you want to stay married to Manu. God bless you both but I need to talk to Mr Mathur as I want his son as my son-in-law. " 

" What?? "

" We were going to talk about Samar and Swati. I really like Samar, I think he is perfect for our Swati. " Dad said and I looked at both of them.

Swati was blushing and Samar looked happy but he looked at me tentatively.

What was going on?? Samar and Swati?? But dad had asked him about Manu??

Samar was normal and happy. Was he really interested in Manu or Swati?? I was going mad.

" Uncle, can I please talk to Sahil for 5 minutes before we go to my place? "

" Yes of course... " dad said.

He asked me to follow him.
