Hidden Feelings- CH.16 Updated/ 13/09/07- - Page 8

The stupid plane wouldn't just fly fast to its destination. How long does it take to go from Mumbai to London? 8 hours? He could swear it's been more then 8 hours. The lady beside was too fat to occupy her whole bed but also used Shiv's space as she put her head on Shiv's shoulder. No matter how many times he'd move, the lady wouldn't get up. Absolutely disgusting? Where's her manner go? He turned the mini screen on; there was nothing to watch specially with the lady next to him.

"So who's the lucky girl?" Gauri asked.

Karan blushed while Gauri's eyes widens up in surprise, "I knew it! I was right all the way along telling you two were meant to with each other! I bet Nisha proposed first."

"It was me" He said.

"Ooo I am happy for you Karan, at least you got the love you deserved" she smiled at him.

Karan sighed, put his arms around her, "Hey, it happens. You shouldn't stop moving on. I remember a person telling me, you have to move on with your life no matter what happens. Once done is done and you can't change it!"

Gauri smiled at him, "you still remember the words!"

The announcement was made to fasten their seat belts as they would be reaching their destination soon. Finally! Thought relived Shiv. He couldn't help but wonder how Gauri is and her so called friend is getting along. He doesn't have to worry, knowing Gauri she would keep a metres distance away from him, his mind told him. Why should he worry? As if he doesn't even care!!

In the airport, Gauri, Shiv and Karan walked together carrying their luggage to the outside of the airport. "Gauri, we should meet often as you are here now" Gauri smiled while Shiv also gave his fake smiled as if saying she's all yours.

"Of course, why not." Shiv said while Gauri looked at him.

Karan gave gauri his address and hugged her biding his Byes to the couple. He left in white limousine while surprise Shiv watched the Limo leave. What a destiny of her? She keeps getting rich friends when she herself is cheap! Big dreams by small people, just hopeless!

"Where are we going?" She asked Shiv politely interrupting his thoughts. He then noticed people giving them stares. All the embarrassment he's facing just because of her today. He could read people thoughts as if their saying, what an ugly couple? Handsome hunk with some nerd? Then he noticed she stood out with her red hideous sari, couldn't she wear western outfit??

Gauri felt her heart flip when she saw fire in his eyes. With out saying anything she followed him to their car and sat at the back with him. The journey was in complete silence.

"Yes sir, you have booked honeymoon suite under the name of Kapoor. Is that correct?" The receptionist asked them.

"Yes that's true."

The receptionist handed them the key and told them directions. " Can I book another room?" Shiv asked suddenly making Gauri shocked, as she knew it all the while.

"Sure" The receptionist handed the key. The servant took their luggage in the lift with the couple following them.

"Gauri, this is your room. Don't tell this anyone, if mom calls just connect line to my room and they won't know. Just do anything you want and leave me alone"

The lift stopped at the floor where it's Gauri's room. She took her luggage and left saying her Byes.

She opened the door to her room and closed it, locked it. She fell on the bed crying, why does she has to suffer this. It all made sense why he wanted to help in packing so he can pack his own luggage separate from her. She fell asleep there in her position.

"Finally!" Shiv thought as he relaxed himself in the wonderful queen size bed. He didn't even felt bad for Gauri; she deserved it for ruining his life. He had given her chance to run away or cancel the marriage but no. "I have to do this for my family reputation, save my family!" He imitates her saying. Now she has to suffer from him then she can finally leave him.

She felt the sun rays hit her eyes, her eyes open lazily and as they hit the clock she quickly get up from the bed. It was 9.00; she didn't realize how she felt asleep. She remembered last night's incidents, may be this is how life was for her.

After taking a shower and dressing a light blue sari, she decided to check on Shiv. She knocked on his door. After waiting for five minutes, she was about to go way when suddenly the door opened, in front of her stood a woman wearing a transparent red nighty up to her thighs with transparent cover up fully opened. She blushed as she thought she was in wrong room.

"Who's it Sweetie" A voice called after her.

No longer had Shiv stood behind the girl shirtless, shocked to see Gauri. Gauri felt her eyes popping out. She felt as knife has stabbed her heart.

"Yes, Can I help you Madam" Shiv said in totally frustrated way.

Gauri looked at him and understood he didn't want her. She walked away without answering. She heard the girl saying, "What a weird woman!" They both laughed.

She stepped in the elevator, found her self crying, why was she crying when she knew it was going to happen. She marred him without his wish.

Days passed, they haven't spoken or heard each other. Shiv acted like as he was enjoying his life back as Bachelor. Gauri on the other tried to keep her mind of Shiv although enjoyed roaming around the nearest beach and went shopping for each family member.

"Gauri, I don't believe you had the nerve to stay quiet when he's with another woman!" Nisha cried. "Where's the gauri I have known?"

Gauri sipped her coffee. They were sitting near the Caf near the London eye, she could see the sight. It looked amazing. "Nisha, you know I have married him for only the sake of my Dad. He told me to go away it was me who didn't listen to him. Anyways It's his life what should I do!"

"sure, what ever!" Nisha scoffed at her. "If I'd be you, he would be dead!"

Gauri laughed at her best friend, she knew how caring she was, " I am sure no man would be able to fight with you!"

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Nisha cried.

"True, she's right!" Karan said placing a kiss on her cheek and then moved on to Gauri doing the same thing. He then sat beside Nisha and then looked at them two, "what's going on?"

"This stupid girl is just keeping quiet while Shiv goes on doing anything!" Nisha complained.

Gauri knew she was in for a long lecture, "Guys, Trust me I am fine O.K, No worries. If something happens I would call you, promise!"

They both looked at her and let it go away this time. They saw Gauri eyes widen and looked back at the door, to see Shiv coming with his around another girl's waist. They both gave an angry look to them and turned to Gauri. Gauri pleaded with her eyes not to do anything.

Shiv also noticed Gauri with Karan and the other girl, she was hot! He thought. What the hell she is doing with behenjee, must be by some force! He took the table near by them. Shiv is now facing Gauri.

Shiv smirked as he saw Gauri when he leaned forward to kiss the girl. He could see how upset she was.

Karan eyes flared up with anger as he witnessed the scene with Nisha. They both could see Gauri was heart-broken; she was always the one with big heart.

"Shiv honey, How do you like my new dress?" the girl asked him in rather a flirtatious voice.

Shiv couldn't help but wonder, it was rather hideous outfit. The girl was wearing pink dress that tightly fitted her, like a Barbie doll. But he had his fun that much to it, "It's really sexy!" he grinned at her and looked at Gauri, who had her eyes down.

Karan and Nisha rolled their eyes and looked at Gauri, "Gauri you didn't tell me how was your day with Soham"

Gauri glared at them and knew what they were doing. Shiv looked surprised when he heard it, he couldn't help but listen to the conversation. Gauri and a date with a guy? The world must have been upside down! Or the guy could be ugly looking, nerd, geeky who would want to go out with her. Yes that must be it. He grinned evilly, like geek like Behenjee! He smirked, it would be pleasure to meet her so called boy friend or go on a double date! He grinned inwardly.

"It was good" she replied.

Shiv couldn't help but sneer at her response. What did they do at the date? Go to library? Do the house chores? He then looked up to see them three living, Karan looked toward his direction gave him an evil look, making him surprise.
