Chapter 19
Mohit's POV
She thought that I was in love with a girl and that girl was in love with someone else. I didn't clear her misunderstanding. As even if I tried telling her, she would not understand.
She seems to be a very sweet girl with a soft heart. But she seems too innocent to understand my situation. What if, she freaks out just like Maya??
Maya was older than me and was very mature and open-minded as compared to Srusti. If Maya gave such a reaction, how would Srusti behave?
What if she gets scared and denies to help me to calm down my family??
No !!! I can't afford that... And as it is, it was just a paper wedding. We had no feelings for each other. It was just a marriage of convenience. So, It wouldn't matter to her. I already told her that we could do whatever we both wanted and the other one would not question it. She doesn't need to know about my sexual orientation
So I let her think about what she did instead of correcting her. I asked her to marry me... She was a bit hesitant but then she agreed.
Though she refused to take any alimony or the money, I will take care of her forever, even if she asks for a divorce.
Of course, she would ask for it one day or the other. Nobody would like to be in such a marriage. She would want a normal married life one day with someone, who could love her back. She is a lovely girl and she deserves to have someone special in her life. I would not stop her from living her life the way she wanted.
It would be an open marriage, I would not restrict her actions. I would never question her about her decision or preference. We would do whatever we want and so she won't have any problems.
She was a very sweet, cute, simple, caring but stubborn girl. She didn't leave me alone when I shouted at her and made me eat the food. She waited for me as she was worried about my family and me.
It was around 9 AM. I got ready and called Harry to come to the workshop. I reached there and got around 10 different dresses for Srusti. I told Harry to pack them and keep them in my car.
After that I called Maya, she picked up the phone, " Yes Mohit !! Have you thought about it? "
" No, I have acted upon it. I told you I have someone special in my life now, I was planning to talk to her for a few days but after last night, I decided to do it as soon as possible. Today I proposed her... and guess what?? "
" What?? "
" She loves me back. I am really very happy. I am bringing her to meet all of you. "
" Are you serious?? You are kidding me?? What is her name?? "
" Srusti Mehra. "
" Wow !! I can't believe it. "
" You would when you Will meet her. She is so sweet and lovely. She scolds me like a wife already. " I laughed.
" Scolds you ?? Why?? "
" That I don't eat properly, I don't take rest. All those things.... "
" Great!! You need someone who would scold you. I am really happy, I want to see her. "
" You will meet her today, I will bring her around 11 AM. "
" I will be there. Bye... Happy for you." She said and I knew she was smiling from ear to ear.
I reached home, and the aromas of freshly prepared food were all over. I told the guard to keep everything in the living room and went to the kitchen to see her.
She was cooking breakfast and lunch and was engrossed in it. She looked so cute.
" What are you making? " I asked going close to her and she got startled.
" Oh, God !! You scared me. " She said taking a deep breath and closing her eyes while doing it.
" That's what I meant, by what I said, that we must be comfortable around each other. "
" But Mohit Ji, I thought you were not at home and all of... "
" Ji ??? " What am I some uncle?? "
" What ?? "
" No ji !!! Only Mohit...when you add Ji, I feel, I am way too old. It hurts a lot. You are going to marry me. You can't call me Ji. Mohit, love, darling, Jaan anything you want to call me is ok but not with a Ji." I said and she smiled but I saw a faint colour coming on her cheeks.
" Hmmm. I will try it. First, you try this. "
" I am very hungry let's have food. What have you made? "
" Pyaj ka parantha for breakfast. And mixed daal and kadhai baby corn. "
" Awesome... Now come out. " I said and she switched off all the burners.
Served Paranthas, curd and butter on the table. We both had breakfast. It was so awesome that I ate a lot.
" I will have to buy a treadmill. You cook such good food... If I keep eating like this, I will be double in size. I'll have to do more exercise to have my hot body intact. "
" Hot body?? Who says that about his own body? " She smiled at me. "
" I am telling you the truth... Do you want to check it out?? "
" No thanks. " She said and started going towards the kitchen.
" Oh, God !! Keep blushing like that and my family would be convinced that you love me. But they know that I am literally shameless. So you have to bear my teasing and PDA. "
" What is PDA?? " she looked confused.
" Public Display of Affection... " I said and she blushed again. She looked beautiful whenever she blushed. I somehow liked it.
" What ?? No !! " her face was turned pink.
" Yes !!! " I smiled wickedly. I have always loved teasing people. So she would have to be my next target.
" But, I am not comfortable Mohit Ji. "
" No Ji, please... " I glared at her and she smiled and nodded.
" Ok, Mohit... But no PDA. "
" We will see about it. But come with me. " I said and she followed me to the living room. I showed her all the dresses.
" Why have you got them?? For whom? "
" That was a dumb question... Of course, they are for you. They won't look good on me. Won't even fit me. "
" But why?? "
" Another dumb question... C'mon yaar, you are going to marry a famous fashion designer, you got to wear them. "
" But... Just one would have been enough. "
" It is necessary for my family is going to meet you for the first time. But they would like to meet you again and again. Now go and try, I think they would fit you perfectly. "
" How can you be so sure of my size?"
" It is my work, I can access the size of someone perfectly. " I said and she blushed again.
Oh, God !! How does she blush so much ??
" Did you like them?? "
" Yes they are beautiful, awesome, each one of them. You are very talented. "
" Thanks !! Now go and try... We have to go and meet them at around 11 AM. I already told Maya, she must have told mom and daadi. They must be very excited. "
I said and she tried them and the size was perfect. They all looked tailor-made for her. She had a body of a supermodel with lesser height.
She was about 5' 6", slim and fair with thick black hair which came till her waist. All I had seen her was in jeans and T-shirts only with her hair tied back or in a messy bun. I don't know why she wore such bore clothes.
" Don't you think they are one size smaller?? " She said. I rolled my eyes
" No, they are perfect. "
" But I think they are a bit small. I wear..."
" You wear a bigger size. You know what?? You are like Manu, she always used to wear very simple, oversized clothes. Why wear such clothes?? They don't do justice to your personality. "
" You talk a lot about Manu, it seems you are very close to her. "
" Yeah... I love her... She is amazing, awesome. I am missing her, I hope she comes back to work soon. But she won't be able to do that soon. " I said with a smile she just nodded.
" So which one should I wear?? They all are so good. " She asked abruptly.
" I think this would be perfect for meeting your in-laws and that too in a hospital. " I said with a wink and she nodded.
I waited and she went to get ready.
