Chapter 5

Sahil's POV I went home to get fresh. Everyone was in the living room. They were having tea and were ready to go out. " Sahil, come have tea. " Mom said and I nodded. Swati came and hugged me. I joined them while Swati went to the kitchen to get me tea. She gave me tea and a plate with a few pieces of cake in it. I was hungry so I took a bite of it. It was very nice but pretty different. " Wow!! This is very different and delicious. What is in it? Did you make it? " I smiled at Swati.. as she was very fond of trying new recipes. " No Bhai, Manu made it but I helped her too. It is an apple spiced cake. I love the flavour of cinnamon in it. " She said and looked at her. I looked at her, but as usual, she was not even looking at me. " Did I hear cake?? " Samar came in and asked. Of course, all you hear and think about is food... Everyone was happy to see him, even Manu... " Yes. I will get it for you too. Do you want tea? " Swati asked him. " Sure... I will eat or drink anything you will give me.. " he smiled at her. Idiot... Swati got tea and cake for him and he accepted with a cute smile. " Hmmm this cake is amazing, I loved it. Awesome... Who made it?? " Samar said. " Manu made and I helped her... " " Wow, Manu !! You are an amazing cook. Can I have more of this? It is awesome. " both the girls smiled at him and he smiled back. " Sure Samar Ji " Manu went inside and got him more cake. He took that with a smile and thanked her. " Sahil you are coming with us for shopping. " Mom said. " No. I have to go out. " " You just came home, where are you going? " " I have to go out with friends.. " " Sahil, Your friend is going out with us... Come with us. " mom said and Samar smiled at me " No mom.. you know I hate shopping, I have other friends too. " " Neither you nor Sagar comes with me... You don't care for us. What is the use of having two sons, if they can't even help you in marriage preparations... Only this sweet boy Samar accompany us. " Mom started her emotional outburst and Samar smiled again and winked at me. I glared at him but he was not bothered. " Mom, please don't start yaar.. " " Sahil enough is enough... You are coming. " Mom said. " Come on yaar Sahil, you can come for the shopping at least once. " Samar said flashing his white teeth again. I will break his teeth someday soon... I got up and changed into casuals. We all went to the leading brand showroom for the traditional dresses for both men and women. Girls have been doing shopping for many days so, now that I was here, I also decided to do my shopping. Samar and I looked at all the options and selected a few. Samar went to try them. He tried the first one and showed it to everyone. It looked good but everyone said that he should try All 4 he selected. He tried all of them. Mom, Swati and Manu gave their opinions on them they all selected the second one. " Sahil what are you waiting for? Go and try your outfits." Mom said and I went to try them. I also tried 4 outfits and I looked at everyone. Mom, Swati and Samar said that 1st and 3rd looked better. But Manu did not say anything. In fact, she had not even look at me properly. " Manu what do you think?? " Swati asked. " Sorry, I did not see. I was busy with my phone. " " Ok, but you have seen the outfits, which of these do you think are better? " Swati asked again. " It doesn't matter, what I like, it is him, who has to wear so he has to decide. He must be quite capable of choosing what is good for him. " She said as if she was taunting me. My mom was talking to Sagar to call him here. " Of course I would decide... Thanks." I snapped. " Hey, Sahil... " Someone said and we all turned to see Mitali coming towards me. I had met her at s club a few days back. " Hi... Mitali.. right? " " Absolutely... Trying traditional wear? Oohhhh... you would look very handsome in them. You should not bother about selecting them. I think anything would look good on you. " She said seductively. Thank God mom was talking on the phone or would have been embarrassed by this girl's seductive tones in front of my mom. " Thanks, Mitali but still which one you think is better? " " Let me see ... Ummm these two will look better on you. " " Thanks, beautiful. " I said looking into her eyes. " Are you free tonight? " " Well, I am sorry but I am with my mom and sister and have lots of shopping to do. " " How about tomorrow then ?? " " I will let you know, for sure," I said She said bye to me and went off. " Hey, Sahil !!.. " Samar mimicked her seductive tone and came near me. " Shut up Samar... " I said but I couldn't hide my smile. " Who was she?? Looked very interested in you. " " So?? I am Sahil Malhotra... Most of the girls are interested in me. I met her a few days back in the club. She came with one of your friends. " I said looking at Manu. But she was busy typing something on her phone. She smiled after a few seconds and typed again. Did she even pay heed to what that girl said? How can she be so indifferent towards me? No girl has ever ignored or avoided me as she does... What had I done to her? Did I ever dated her and then forgot about her? She looked somewhat familiar... But ugh I couldn't recall her. Sagar also came as mom had called him here. He also selected a few outfits for other functions and tried them and again Miss ice princess gave her valuable suggestions. Does she think that Sagar and Samar are not capable of selecting their outfits unlike me?? She was even smiling at Sagar. Why?? She is Swati's friend... We both are Swati's brothers... Then why the hell she was friendly with him and seems to have a grudge against me. Does she like Sagar .... Or... Samar?? What nonsense?? She knows that Sagar is madly in love with Damini... and they are getting married... Samar??.... I don't know... He is cute, handsome, easy to talk to, well educated, independent, successful belongs to a good family..... Shit!!! Why am I reciting Samar's good points just like Damini.... ?? Well, how does that matter to me, if she ignores me?? She must be stupid as all the girls are crazy about me... But it seems that you are interested in her... Oh, will you please shut up... I don't care for such girls... She is just a plain jane... Not my types... What is your type, Sahil?? You must have dated more than 200 girls till now... Do you know exactly what is your type ?? Get lost .. l don't know, but get one thing is definitely clear...she is not my type. I like someone who is...... hot, sexy, smart, talented, beautiful, confident, who has an identity of her own. Not some girl next door... She is too plain for me... just a silly, plain girl. " ..... SAHIL !!!! " Which planet you had gone to?? " Samar laughed. " Nothing was thinking about something.. " " Something or someone?? " " What?? Whom would I think about and why?? " " That hot girl... Mitali ?? " " Oh.. please. I don't think about girls... They think about me... " I said and Samar laughed and nodded. Idiot... I looked at her again she was talking to someone a bit away from all of us and it seemed that she was enjoying talking to the person as she was smiling and blushing a lot. Blushing??? Why?? We brought everything we selected and went for dinner.
