Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 63

Manyata's POV

I was working in the study as I wanted some information about some things and wanted some print outs. Though I was feeling sleepy but needed to complete the research.

" Why don't you go and sleep?? You look so tired and sleepy. " All of a sudden, Sahil said and I got startled.

I looked at him, he was smiling.

" I am fine... I have to work." I said.

But something was wrong with the printer. The pictures were being printed in weird colours. I was getting annoyed.

I tried again but all in vain.

" Ughhh..." I was irritated.

" What happened?? "

" Nothing... "

" Tell me, maybe I can help. "

" Something is wrong .. all the colours of the printed pictures are different and weird. "

" Let me see.. " he came near me and checked.

" I think the black colour has been finished. That's why the colours look weird. Do you have an extra black cartridge ?? "

" I don't know... May be here. " I opened a drawer and found the new packs.

Sahil smiled and changed one of them. It was so simple... Even I knew how to change it. But I was so tired that it didn't occur to me.

" Thanks... "

" Thanks?? If you want to thank me, try another way... Come on honey, we are married... This thanks is very formal and boring... " He said and winked.

Oh god! He never left a chance to tease me.

" Mr Malhotra, can you please leave? "

" Ok, as you wish... Mrs Malhotra." He shrugged his shoulders and said. He went to his room.

I started taking out prints. I gave the command and the prints started coming perfect.

I was really sleepy. But I could not leave work like this.

I took the printed papers and went to my room. I placed my laptop and those papers which I printed just now.

All of a sudden, I heard some weird and scary sounds coming out of the window.

I opened the window and looked outside but no one was there. But the sounds were getting louder.

I shut the windows and bolted them.

I heard some screaming and I got even more scared. I was a bit scared now. The voices were a bit hushed and then there were shrieks and screaming.

What was happening?? All of a sudden, I saw some shadows on the glass. They looked distorted, ghost-like.

Oh, God !! What was happening??

Again there was very scary and haunting music and then someone laughed wickedly and again some screaming.

I got very scared and to add to my problems, the light got switched off.

I was scared as hell. I couldn't stay in my room. I needed to go and call bhabhi.

It seemed weird to bother them at this time. But... I was scared as hell.

I came out of my room and went to the living room. I saw some shadow again and got scared.

Just then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I was about to scream when someone placed his hand on my mouth. I was about to faint. But just then the light came back.

I turned to see that it was Satan himself. I was relieved to see him. I was still standing in the circle of his arms.

I took a deep breath which I seemed to be holding since long.

" What are you doing here walking like a ghost?? Why are you scared? " he asked.

He looked at me with concern.

" W..what were you d..doing here?? " I asked him.

" I came to get some water... Then I saw you walking as if you were scared or going to scare someone. What were you doing? "

" I ... I ... N... nothing. "

" Then why are you so scared?" he asked.

" I heard some... haunted music and a devilish laugh and then someone was screaming. " I said.

" Oh!! It's nothing... It happens sometimes after watching horror movies. It's ok... No one is there. " He said.

" No... I saw some shadows on my window... " I was totally scared.

" Nothing will happen, you are just very tired and sleepy. You must have seen some scary bad dream. Do and sleep... "

" No... It was no dream, I didn't sleep. Now, I can't sleep... " I was looking around to find that ghost.

" So what will you do?? Keep standing here?? " he asked and I realised that he was still holding me in his arms.

" I ... I... "

" There were no such sounds... Come let me show you... Don't be afraid, I am here with you. " He said tenderly and hugged me again.

I was getting conscious of being in arms, but I was feeling safe.

Soon, I felt awkward, so I pushed him a little and took a step back and he loosened his arms.

" Come, see by yourself, there is no one, honey. " He held my hand and took me to my room.

" But sounds and shadows... ? "

" There is no sound, you are very tired.. sleep well. " he turned to go.

" No... I can't sleep. " I caught his hand. He looked at me and smiled.

" Ok, let's distract your mind. Shall we watch some good comedy or listen to some good music? " He said and I nodded.

" Ok let's watch some romantic, comedy."

He said and started one, we started watching it. It was so hilarious that I forgot about the horror movie and started laughing along with him.

He was not that bad. I was enjoying this movie a lot. He was sitting next to me and then a very romantic scene came and I felt his gaze on me.

I turned to look at him. He was looking at me with so many emotions in his eyes. There was a soft smile on his handsome face. His eyes were sparkling. I could not take my eyes away from his face. It must have been at least a few minutes and none of us moved.

Then he looked at my lips and then he closed the distance that separated us and placed his lips on mine. He kissed me very tenderly as if he was handling a porcelain doll. I liked being kissed by him.

There was a sudden sound from the movie and I came back to my senses again.

What was wrong with me?? I was behaving like some possessed woman. All he had to do was touch me and I would lose all my senses.

He was a casanova, a playboy... He was a master in the art of seducing. He was just using his charm on me.

But I was not one of his girlfriends. I had to control myself around him. I know that he was changing but I couldn't give up so easily.

I pushed him lightly on his hard chest and he stopped kissing. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and then inhaled a deep breath and finally opened his eyes and looked at me with some kind of different expression.

He then looked at the screen and we watched the movie. I don't know what was he thinking but I was curious as hell. The movie was very hilarious but Sahil seemed to be serious.

He kept looking at me, while I was watching the movie.

We kept watching the movie. And I didn't realise when I slipped into slumber.

Sahil's POV

After Vikram and I talked for about an hour, both of us planned to call it a night.

I was going to my room when I saw that the lights of the study were on. I thought that may be Vikram forgot to switch off them.

I went inside and saw my beautiful wife was working on the computer and was trying to keep her eyes open.

I went near her and said, " why don't you go and sleep?? You look so tired and sleepy. "

" I am fine... I have to work."

She said but she was struggling with the printer, I helped her and left her alone to work.

" Ok as you wish... " I said and came back to my room.

I was tired but could not sleep, I wanted to spend more time with her.

So I thought of teasing her. She had come back to her room which was next to mine. So I played some horror movie on my phone with full volume and went near the window.

The haunting music, weird scary laughing sounds and screams were creating an effect, she got scared.

She opened the window to see but I jumped back in my room through the window.

She closed the window and bolted them. I again went near her window and projected some shadows on her windows with an app on my phone.

I think, even God wanted to help me as the lights went off. There had been no power cuts in Delhi for more than 3 years. May be some technical problem.

Thank you, God...

I saw her coming out of her room she was very scared. So I went after her.

She was very scared. I had to pacify her. Afterall she was my beautiful wife and I must take good care of her.
