Chapter 25

Virat knew that Manvi wasn't really happy with him, he knew that she had forgiven him only because she loves him too much to see him unhappy, he could feel how she was still anxious while they lay stagnant on the bed, he was about to ask why she was nervous when Padmini called out for her to join them for dinner, Manvi gasped and moved away while he didn't want to let her go,

"Virat ji, how did you come in?" she wondered how he entered the house,

"By the door," he didn't get out of the bed but made himself comfortable by leaning back on the head board,

"Par Kantha b..." she stammered,

"Yeah she opened the door, and let me come in to your room," he answered her unvoiced question, while Manvi was now too embarrassed to go down, what if she had told her mama and papa,' her mama called out for her again, Manvi looked at Virat who was completely relaxed whilst her heart was going crazy.

"Aap please ab jao..."

"Okay..." He stood up and reached the door making Manvi heart almost jump out of her mouth,

"What are you doing?" she whispered, stopping him from opening the door,

"You are the one who asked me to leave,"

"Aap..." Manvi paused, she knew that he was doing this on purpose, "Not from here, go through the window," she pointed the window making him raise his brow, that wasn't possible they both knew because the room right down to this room was her parents and there was a huge probability in getting caught, "Not now, I will give your phone a ring while papa and mama will be having dinner, you can go then,"

"But I don't have my phone with me," he checked his pockets and Manvi was starting to go crazy,

"Okay, leave after five minutes, I'll make sure not to let ma or papa go to the room," she rushed out of the room before her mama comes to check on her,

...

"Manvi, how long have I been calling you... chalo come sit and have dinner,"

"Where is papa?"

"He had his dinner already and is in the room,"

"Kya..." Manvi screamed and choked on her food,

"Dhire, what is wrong?" Padmini rubbed her back while Manvi gulped the water and stood up,

"Mama, I will be back," she tried to leave but Padmini frowned and pulled her back to sit down,

"No, have the dinner and then we'll both go finalize which dress you will be wearing tomorrow," Padmini was excited but Manvi felt as if she was in a hot water pot,

Manvi tried to gulp in all the food which was served, her head burning and her heart thumping, Padmini wondered what was wrong with her daughter,

"Mama, can't we decide it tomorrow?"

"Kyun? I wont be having time for these things tomorrow, we have a sagai at home yaad hei na? The decorating job will be starting early in the morning and..."

"Mama please kal, I will wear whatever you ask me to, but please..." she pleaded, there was no way she was going to get caught, she wished Virat to have left already.

"Fine... You..." Padmini didn't finish speaking but Manvi had left the table already after giving her a peck on the cheeks with a hurried good night wish,

Manvi kept her hand on her thudding heart while catching her breath, then she opened and closed the door hurriedly only to witness Virat in a deep sleep on her bed, his slippers were neatly placed next to the bed and he looked very comfily settled with his white soft fabric sherwani, which he used to wear at home. Manvi didn't know if she should be tensed or relived, this wasn't the first time where they have been in a same room and on the same bed, but that was different, they were out of there houses, her mama and papa had given her all the independence she needed because it was their outing but today they were in her house and in her bedroom, she didn't know what anyone would think but she felt awkward for doing something like this, sleeping on the same bed in her room before getting married... it sounded weird, but something in her told that they weren't doing anything bad, it was just sleeping, but she couldn't move a step forward from the door, she kept thinking, thinking about many things while her eyes stayed glued to his face, which was well covered with his arm, maybe because of the light she thought, he must have fallen asleep while waiting for her, she wanted him to have a peaceful sleep so she walked forward and dimmed the bedside lamp, then covered him with the blanket and walked to the washroom after grabbing her nightwear.

Doing all this for him made her feel like a wife and her heart swelled with happiness when she realized that she really was going to be his wife, maybe not any sooner but someday. She wondered if this will be all the same, will they still be fighting and then making up after few hours, days or weeks? Or will they understand and speak to each other more than they do now? She shrugged the negative thoughts away, because she knew there was love between them, he just had to realize that this was love too, and it was possible to fall in love more than once. This might not be similar to what he felt for the other girl but it wasn't a must to be the same, this was love for her so it can be love for him too.

This was the moment she was fearing for, getting into the bed when he was tight asleep on the very same bed, but she was really sleepy and there were no any other option than to get onto the bed, she decided to keep a fair distance between them as she got on to the bed and cuddled to her pillow.

...

He could feel, he could sense it, her scent... the sweet delicate fragrance. Virat opened his eyes and saw how she was cuddling into him and remembered what happened few hours back, he wanted to leave... everyone in the house looked asleep and this was the opportunity he had been waiting for to leave the house as the same way he entered it, through the door. But her hold and her light yet cold body pressed against him was too alluring, it gave him so much comfort, even her bed, it was so warm and comfy, the light scent it carried, her scent... that was enough for him to fall asleep just in few minutes and his fatigued body didn't want to leave. Her breath mingling on his neck was slow and composed, she was in a deep sleep he realized... then slowly circled his arm around her body and pulled her closer than she already was, moments like this sometimes made him think if this was a just physical attraction he had for her, but then he would also think how he was always able to control his desires even when she never refused his intimate movements. This wasn't physical attraction or lust... he has developed a deep liking for her and his need for affection and belongingness had made it impossible for him to live without her, he decided before hiding his face in her hair and closing his eyes without bothering much about anything else.

Manvi was awake, the clock ticked away as she bit her lower lips with worry, Virat might have sensed her worry because he stirred and then moved his face away from her hair, still holding her tightly by her waist,

"What is the time?" he asked his eyes still closed and his face pretty closer to hers,

"Fifteen pass four," she whispered her voice unstable with their closeness,

"I should leave, will you open then close the door after I leave?" Virat moved away and got out of the bed,

"Hmm," she was feeling embarrassed because she realized that he had been stayed on his side of the bed but it was only her who had gone to the side he was sleeping,

Manvi walked behind him silently as he moved towards the door then stopped making her run to his back,

Virat turned then bent slightly before placing a soft kiss on her forehead before leaving through the door, he was thankful to have her house this close to his, sneaking in would be easy for him till they got married.

"Manvi..." Pooja cheered looking at Manvi who was now dressed in her light peach colored lehenga,

"Pooh..." that tone of hers didn't match the excitement of Pooja's at all,

"Kya hua?" Pooja was worried,

"Can't you see, this dress is too heavy, engagement hai shaadi nahi," she huffed,

"Uffo... tum bhi na, just come," Pooja held Manvi by her shoulder and made her stand in front of the mirror, "Look at yourself carefully, You are looking extraordinarily beautiful and Virat ji... No," Pooja paused, "Virat jeeju..." she stressed and laughed at Manvi's blush, "Will be all fida over you..."

"Chup karo Pooh," Manvi blushed crimson,

"Why? I am allowed to tease... I am your friend after all," Pooja pouted and Manvi gave in by hugging her tight,

"Such main, this silver work with the peach color, oh beautiful... I must sat aunty has a wonderful taste," Pooh admired making Manvi feel comfortable in her outfit,

"Meri chodo... You are looking beautiful in this pink too, my lovely Pooh," Manvi squeezed Pooja's cheeks making it flush,

"Ouch Manvi..." Pooja slapped Manvi's hand,

"Thoda blush karo..."

"Why should I blush? It is your engagement, not mine..." Pooja's remark about her engagement reminded about Rohan to Manvi,

"Yeh Rohan kaha hai..." she wondered out loud, checking her phone and then opening a message which was sent by Rohan,

"Dekho isse... He will be late, I don't know why his father is pressuring Rohan so much even before he finishes college," Manvi was worried,

"There must be something na..." Pooja tried and Manvi wondered how Pooja would react when she gets to know about Rohan's feelings for her, "Manvi... what's wrong? Where are you lost?"

"Nothing... I was just thinking about Rohan..."

"I think Rohan's papa is sick..." Pooja finally revealed,

"How do you know?" Manvi was curious,

"That day when we went to for mom's check up I saw Rohan and his mom in the hospital... I think his papa was admitted in the hospital at that time,"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"He would have told us na... I was just..." Pooja fumbled,

"You thought he wouldn't like it?"

"Haan..."

"Ab patha nahi kaise hain..."

"I don't know..."

"We'll ask him today when he comes,"

"Hmm,"

Padmini entered the room, followed by her cousins, Ashika and Riya, Chalo bachchon, take Manvi down exactly in five minutes, all are here and keeping everyone wait wouldn't look good... And Manvi why are having a long face?"

"Nothing mama..."

"No aunty she is worried because Rohan isn't here yet..." Pooja helped Manvi,

"Oh isn't he coming?"

"No aunty looks like he will get a bit late..."

"Manvi, we'll have the ring ceremony early... but we will have the function till dinner na.. so he can come join us later, he can meet Virat beta too, so cheer up it's your engagement today..." Padmini kissed her forehead then cupped Manvi's face, making her smile, "Good... Okay bachchon in exactly five minutes," Padmini hurried out of the door as the girls got down to do the final touch up,

"Riya, stop painting my face,"

"Maine kaha paint khi,"

"You are... I have enough of make up on so let my poor face be and you girls have the final touch up, you girls were the ones who were working not me..." she smiled and helped them get ready.

--------------

Manvi felt as if this was the first time she was descending the stairs, she felt too nervous even after holding Pooja's and Riya's hands tightly, and why were they all looking at her like they have never seen her before? She was their same Manvi.

Manvi tried to raise her head and look at the people who were present but she didn't have enough guts in her to do so,

"Manvi, don't try too hard... you are doing fine, just relax and leave our hands we aren't allowed to stand in between you and jiju..." Pooja and Riya laughed, and Manvi released her hold on them, cursing them inaudibly, she raised her head and looked around wisely avoiding Virat, Jeevika di wasn't here yet too, she was about to ask her papa who was standing next to her now but stopped as she noticed Jeevika di, Adhiraj and their parents entering the scene hurriedly, Jeevika smiled at her apologetically, and voiced a sorry,

Manvi was asked to give her hand to Virat and then the same was done with Virat, the rings were exchanged but Manvi still refused to look at him straight, last night changed her view about the relationship they shared and the golden band with a diamond on top of it, did nothing but make her realize what kind of a relationship they were going to share, she remembered asking him to treat her as a friend but she wasn't sure of herself, because the tingling feeling in her stomach and her heart heavy with an odd emotions were too much to bear.

Virat was feeling very odd, getting engaged to Manvi, he didn't realize the depth of this relationship up until now and the realization hit him pretty hard, this has always happened to him, he always realized such serious matters only at the end, it wasn't like he was regretting but he feared the consequences if he takes all this taken for granted again, deciding to value her, love her and deciding to keep her happy always wasn't that tough but he knew it was doing to be tough to keep up to the words, he was so used to only think about himself, he was so used to ignore others, he didn't know how he was going to share his life with her, he didn't know how he was going to care, love and make her feel treasured... because he always knew she deserved better.
