Chapter 15

Siddharth's POV " So what are your feelings for her? " Maurvi asked me. " I don't know... I am not sure... " " Then first of all, you be sure about it and then evaluate your feelings many times before saying anything to her. It might not be your fault that she thought that... But it looked like that, from her point of view. So you need to make her understand the whole thing. First of all, you need to be serious about your life. You can't just fool around or flirt with everyone. I am sorry Siddharth, but you need to change a bit. I know that you are a gem of a person and you don't have anything bad in your mind. That's why I never took offence to your flirting as I knew you were just fooling around. No girl would ever take you seriously, if you keep doing that. The way you flirt with everyone, including me makes people have a perception of you as well as the other person and believe me that can be ugly... So please be serious and after being sure about your feelings for her just tell her everything. " She said but her eyes had some moisture in them so, she even avoided looking at me and looked out of the window. What??? Oh God!!! I stopped the car at once and looked at her. " Did that bas**** Aakash say something... like that? " She closed her eyes and a lone tear slid out of her eye which she tried hiding but I saw that. " Maurvi? Say something... " " I don't want to say anything... Please let's just go shopping." " Please tell me. " " Siddharth. I. Don't. Want. To. Discuss. This. With. Anyone. " " But why? Do you know, how restless bhai is? He is not even sleeping at nights. He is trying to look happy as he doesn't want to see you crying. Please tell him at least. He is going mad because of that. You saw that he got so hurt when I didn't tell him anything. Why are you doing it? " " Whatever that man said was cheap, disgusting and humiliating. I can't even repeat those words to myself. I would rather die than even before think of thinking such a thing. He said many things and if I will tell them to Gautam, he will surely kill him. Then he might get punished. What will your and my parents think about me? I would never be able to look into their eyes. " " But what about Bhai? He is hurting, I see his restlessness every night. Please Maurvi... " " I don't know what to do ... Do you know, I am blessed that I can recall anything word by word if I hear something carefully? But for the first time in my life, I am hating this blessing. His filthy words keep playing in my mind like a record. I can't even sleep. I can't even repeat the words. I am so disgusted with myself I can't even look in anyone's eyes. " " Ok, if you can't tell him then consider me as your elder brother and tell me." " No... " She said and started crying with her face hidden in her palms. " Ok, calm down !! Don't tell me but please tell him. I will not let bhai kill that cheapster. He loves you a lot. Please !! " " Maybe... I will, later on, when my wounds are healed. " " Don't forget that he is a doctor... He can help you in speedy recovery. " He said with a smile. " Ok, now you tell me what do you want to buy for aunty? " " Has bhai bought something? I forgot to ask him. " " I think he did buy a very elegant diamond pendant set. " " Ok, let's see... she just bought a new phone and dad gave her the latest laptop just a few months back... then let's buy some beautiful saree for her. What do you say? " " Ok good, let's go... " We went to a showroom from where her mom buys sarees. " Arre Maurvi beta, how are you? " The owner asked. " I am good uncle... He is my friend and he wants an elegant saree for his mom. " She said to him. " Sure beta, Shyam show them the new collection of sarees. " He started showing us the sarees and they all were very pretty. We shortlisted 4 sarees and then I asked her which one she liked the most. I liked one and she liked another one. " Trust me, both are good but this saree will look perfect on her. " " Why not that one? That is also equally beautiful. " " Yes, it is, but it will suit a younger lady. I know that aunty would love this one. If she doesn't like I will get it changed. But I am sure she would love it." The salesman suggested her to held the saree against her to get a better idea. She did that but the confusion was still there as both were looking good, even the salesman said that. " Let's take both the saree... " I said. " You will give her two sarees? " She asked. " No, I will give one to my sister. " I said smiling at her. " You don't have a sister... " She laughed at me. She was so sweet... " Hmm not yet but, very soon I am going to have one. " I smiled at her and before she could say anything my phone buzzed. I took the call. " Hello, Vikram Bhai ?? How are you? ... What??? ...... How could he? She is with me... Ok, we are coming right now. Please calm him down. " " We need to go, " I said. " What happened? " She asked me. " Bhai fought with Aakash and he punched Aakash many times. He is threatening to call the police. Vikram Bhai called me to bring you there. Sorry Maurvi, but if he does complain against him, you would have to relate the whole thing. " " Hmm. I understand. I will call Kshitij to tell his friend. let's go." Maurvi and I were running towards Bhai. " Hey, Bhai ... Is everything fine? " " What are two of you doing here? " He asked us. " Ha!!! you are beating people for speaking the truth. See your girlfriend is with your brother while you are working here in the hospital. hence proved... she is roaming around the city without you knowing about it. So.. can we ask that from her now? " Aakash said and started smirking. I heard that and I became furious. I was ready to kill him. " What? Just shut up or I will break every single bone in your body? How dare you say that about her. She is my sister you bastard. I will kill you. " I was about to reach him when Vikram Bhai stopped me and dragged me outside. " What are you doing, Sid ?? He is instigating both of you. Stay here !! He said those filthy words in front of everyone so we can prove that he provoked Gautam. He has beaten him a lot today and now if you also do it, his case would be stronger." Vikram Bhai said. " But he is bloody... " " I know... But we have to tackle this situation now, we will see him later. " I waited outside, after about half an hour I came to know that Maurvi solved the matter. Bhai seemed to be relaxed now. " What happened? " " Ask her, your sister. Sid, I swear, she is something else. Looks like a nice, naive and gullible simple damsel in distress. But she is actually a knight in shining armour. You should have seen her... the way she talked to him. Oh My God!!! Try never to get on her wrong side. That Aakash was shivering in the end. She was talking like a criminal lawyer. " Maurvi was smiling like anything. " What? But you started crying today when I asked you what happened." I was confused. She just shook her head.
