CHAPTER 16

COUPLE OF DAYS LATER

Angad was in office working when he looked up to find Sabr in his cabin...."Hey what's up....kyaa haal.....ooh bura hall dikhta hai...."

"Everything is fine..." Angad said hugging Sabr

"Does not look like....some angry boyfriend bashed you up for flirting with his girlfriend" Sabr joked

"No....its nothing.."

"Acha chal....leave it...what's up otherwise" they chitchatted about things in general....Angad was very happy to see Sabr and enjoyed his company.

"By the way do You know something really funny happened yesterday......that day we were speaking about Garry's sister in-law...Sahiba ...and yeasterday...mom actually asked me....if I like her and want to marry her....what a coincidence!"

Angad's heart skipped a beat....he stilled....the thought of Sahiba married made him feel a bit hollow....maybe it was guilt "You should say yes....she is a very nice girl" .......Sabr was a nice guy, he would keep her happy he thought......

"Are you sure..."

"Ya" he said turning and avoiding Sabr's eyes.

"It's great if you like her....I always wanted my wife and best friend to get along"....Angad felt his chest contract....must be a aftereffects of the fight he thought.....he sat down on his chair...feeling very weak suddenly...

That's when Sabr burst out laughing....."look at your face....how the mighty fall"

"What are you talking about"

"Dude...I was just joking.... was pulling your leg....to get a reaction out of you.....nothing else...god...I never thought I will see this day....she seems like a great girl but i dont want to marry her." he said wiping tears of mirth from his eyes..

Angad gave him a glare..... an unknown relief sweeping through him..."Whats so funny"

"You of course..."

"What about me"

"Oh my God...you should have seen your face...

Angad felt quiet light suddenly..."what was there to see"

"OH please....don't fool yourslef"

"No...I am not and I don't want to talk about this" Angad got curt..

"Ok....chill...if you say so.......Looks like I will have to come back to India soon" he joked...

Garry had been collaborating with Angad for the Punjabi Wedding collection for UK and Canada...wherein he was launching his clothes line along with the jewellery....hence had come to the Brar office for some work....he saw Sabr come in and thought he will go meet him too in Angad's cabin....he was about to greet him when he heard their conversation.....unknown to the two speakers......so yes, his hunch was right looked like....even Sabr was of the same view....

"Hey Garry" Sabr called him

'Hi'

THAT NIGHT...GARRY'S ROOM

Garry updated Seerat about his hunch and what he heard in-between Angad and Sabr....

"What! Sahiba and Angad....you are crazy....they are complete opposites."

"Ya but opposites attract right"

"No but Angad is so.....glum and Sahiba is a ray of sunshine ...they don't suit at all"

"Actually when you think of it...she is perfect for him...she manages to bully him, scold him, get him to do things which he otherwise would not do....basically makes him more human"

"Ya but is he good for her is the question"

"Angad has very deep emotions...believe me he is a great guy...once he commits....he will be amazing and he already has very strong feelings for her..."

"Don't you think he is too old for her" asked Seerat skeptically

"Too old....what do u mean...4-5 years is a decent gap...and she is way more mature for her age....so needs someone like Angad and he is way too serious so needs someone happy go lucky like her.....I think they are perfect for each other..." Garry said gleefully...

"Don't get excited....I don't think Angad wants to get married and Sahiba for sure is not interested...."

But the idea has set in Garry's mind and refused to budge...

COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER

Winter had set in and Brar Mansion was abuzz today.....it was Inder and Manveer's wedding anniversary....everyone wished the couple....wishing them many more years of happiness together.

Angad hugged both his parents and wished them...they were his ideal couple...always there for each other.

In the last few months there was a change in him...he had introcepted on his behviour over the last few months and realised how unfair he had been to everyone...Sahiba was one for sure...but his entire family too....they were always there for him ...but he was generally lost in his own bitterness...though there..he was never there with them fully.........he made genuine efforts to mellow down and spend more time with his loved ones....the change was not easy....his nature had become ingrained over the years....but he was trying....making efforts....maybe the results were not drastic but there....

"So what plans for today veerji" asked Jasleen

"Nothing much....we will go to gurdwara in the morning and in the evening I have planned a Dinner...."

The room echoed with catcalls....teasing the couple....

"Let me finish....I have booked a table for ..... the entire family at...." he took a name of the best 5 start hotel in town...

"What will we all do....kabaab mein haddis....you should just go with Parjaai" teased Hansraj....

"We want to spend this day with everyone....so today we have planned..a family dinner at 8....everyone be ready.."

The whole family, as so big, hardly got an opportunity to go out together somewhere...hence they all were very excited....

"Angad" Manveer called

"Yes mama"

"Inder and I are going to the gurdwara.......will you join us" Manveer asked hopefully ....it had been years since they had gone somewhere....just the 3 of them....Angad just grew up...and was too old to go out with his parents and then he never had the time....

"Yes...I will come along" he said...to Manveer"s surprise...she has not expected a yes...but had still asked....

"Pam...I will be coming late....cancel my calls in the first half" Angad called Pam....Manveer was so happy....as parents all they want is their kids time...she hugged him....

"Am so happy Angad..."

Three of them set off to the gurdwara...

Sahiba was a regular visitor to the Gurudwara.....she gave seva regularly and had come specially today as Param had gone for an important match and she wanted to pray for his success.....with her head covered with her dupatta...she went into the gurdwara.....put her head down in devotion...and prayed...

As chance would have it, Angad and his parents were also bent in prayer.....Angad had not come with his parents for a long long time...he remembered coming with his parents when he was young....he felt a peace that he had not felt in years.....

Sahiba got up and turned...and was surprised to see Angad...he too looked surprised....she did not know how to react... nor did he...she got up to leave when

"Sahiba" manveer mamaiji called her...

'Mamiji' pairi pauna....she greeted Manveer and Inder

"What a coincidence....so nice to see you....you don't come home these days"

"It's just that I have been a bit busy with work and all"

"Where are you going"

"I will goto my shop....I will see you later"

"Wait puttar...we will drop you" Inder stopped her..

Though It was a pleasure meeting maamiji and mamaji....it was a little awkward with Angad....she was not sure she wanted to go with them...

"No...I will manage...I do this everyday"

"I know you do this everyday....but we don't meet you everyday....so give us this chance..."

Angad had been too surprised to see her in the gurdwara.....when he got up and his eyes had met hers....for a second it had felt as she was meant to be there with him....together....but he brushed it off as his relied to see her....he had been worried about her....but had had no opportunity to meet or talk to her...

He was driving while papa was siting in the passenger seat with him and Mom and Sahiba were sitting behind....he adjusted his rear view mirror to get a better angle....and subconsciously kept looking at her through the rear view mirror.......

Sahiba gave him the direction to her shop and eventually they reached it....just as she was about to get off Manveer stopped her...

"Sahiba listen....it's Inder and my wedding anniversary today and we are all going out for Dinner....I want you to join us too....it was so nice meeting you after so long.. I am sure everyone will like to meet you too, get Param also...I will call your mom and inform her"

Sahiba was surprised....and was thinking about how to refuse....she glanced at Angad...looking for some help but he seemed to be useless....just staring at her...."Mamiji....I...I have a lot of work....some orders to finish"

"You can do it later....I am sure you can make time for us"

"Ye but it's a family dinner what will I do...."

"You are family too, you are coming, I don't want to listen to anything....Will ask Garry and seerat to pick you guys up and drop you too"

"Mamiji Param is not in town"

"Ok...you join...be ready by 7...bye"

Sahiba was completely unprepared for this.....she had not planned to spend any time with Angad....but it was her own fault...if she was not going to tell everyone what happened....such circumstances would come again and again....but what a dumb person...he was of no help....he could have in his usual style given some rude reason for her not to be there but no....he just had to keep quiet!

Angad's mood became much better....must be the positive vibes from the gurudwara he thought....

Manveer had instructed Garry and Seerat to pick up Sahiba...wherein other family members left for the hotel...Angad had called for his change to office and was going to join directly....

As Garry and Seerat sat in the car...Seerat called Sahiba and asked her to be ready...."ya we are starting and will come soon, be ready"...

On their way Garry told her..."we are not going to pick up Sahiba ..."

"Why..."

"it's too far....not sensible"

"Then how will she come alone in the night!" Exclaimed Seerat

"Don't worry....I arranged an alternative" he said smiling....

"Garry! What did you do...tell me" Seerat Scolded a mischievous Garry

Angad was about to leave when Garry had called him..."listen...I was supposed to pick up Sahiba...but am getting very late...your office is nearby...just pick her up please..."

"Listen....I am not sure if that's a good idea...I don't think I should be picking her up"

"Ohk...everyone has already left...it getting quiet late...I will ask her to take an auto...though I did not want her to travel alone in the night....but no option...ok bye"

"Wait....hold on...ok I will pick her up"

Now sitting in his car, in front of her house...he felt very nervous....they had not met one on one since that fateful night and he was not sure how he would face her alone....gathering his courage he got out of the car and rang the bell..

Sahiba had been running late as usual, she came late from the shop...quickly freshend up and donned a pink chiffon saree...with a sleevless, deep back blouse....pink lips stick, Kaajal, eyeliner and was wearing matching earrings when the doorbell rang....

"I will get it" She sang as she opened the door while wearing her earring and looked up....

Angad was mesmerized....as usual...she was looking beautiful....she was very simply dressed....plain pink saree and very light makeup....he could only stare......

"You!"

"Kaun hai Sahiba....aree Angad beta....come come"

"Where are Garry and Seerat di" She asked..

"They could not come and were getting late....I was nearby so I have come to pick u up" Angad said quietly...

"So sweet betaji....Sahiba you are ready right....don't make him wait....go go...bye.."

Sahiba had not wanted to go with him....hoped he remembered his promise...otherwise .....

Lost in her thoughts she was about to sit on the backseat when he held the passenger side door open for her....she realised there was no driver....he was driving....they were going to be alone in the car! She sat down while he held the door foe her and shut it...getting into the driving seat....the car felt a bit small with the two of them sitting inside together....she was mentally grumbling when....

"Seat belt"

"What"

"You need to wear your seat belt"

She had never sat on the passenger seat before...they did not have a car and when with Garry Seerat she sat behind....she pulled at the seat belt....but it won't budge...she gave it another yank...

Angad was very possessive about his car....this car he let no one drive...not even his driver...seeing Sahiba yank roughly at the seat belt gave him heartache....anyone else he would have blasted...but he could not afford to say anything to her right now...."Let me do it" he said hesitantly

Sahiba nodded her head...and he bent over her to pull the seat belt and click it in place....in that split second...Sahiba could smell his perfume and feel the heat emanating from his body......her heart raced....the car already compct felt even smaller........maybe it was fear from the last encounter she thought..breathing in......

She wore a lavender perfume he thought, almost hugging her in the process of pulling the seat belt....the simple act of helping her wear the seat belt made his senses come alive....

There was a sudden silence....both of them feeling awkward...

"Thank you"

He nodded and started driving.....after five minutes of silence Sahiba had had enough....

"How long for us to reach"

"Maybe 15-20 minutes"

Just then another motorist on the road cut their car and Angad had to brake suddenly...

"What are you doing...why cant you driver properly"

"I am driving properly...it was not my fault"

He started driving again....

"Can you put on some music please" the silence was killing Sahiba...

He switched on his music system and some ghazal started playing....after five minutes..

"Oh please shut it....I will fall asleep before we reach" She said...."This music is for my parents generation, this is like for older folks"

"I like this music" he said ....

"Ya no doubt.....as I said....older folks" She murmurred

"Did you say something" he looked at her..

"No I did not...what are you doing...look at the road" She instructed....

Angad had been super worried about her over the last few months but there was no need now looked like...she was back in full form....he hated backseat driving....or getting instructed while driving and she was full on giving him instructions or questioning his driving.....he was glad they had reached!

They got down and went into the hotel, walking together... into the reaturant.....the family looked at them entering and most of them thought how striking they looked together.....

There were only two seats empty...one next to Bebe and one opposite that...

"Come sit next to me" called Bebe to Sahiba and she did...with Angad sitting right opposite her...

Oh my God...she will have to tolerate his grumpy face for next one/two hours she thought....the Dinner started....everyone was having a very good time....they had all come out together like this for an intimate dinner after years....and it was fun....Sahiba was also having a good time....and surprises surprises....she saw ATM smile too...at some joke cracked by Hansraj phuphaji and Garry.....how a smile changed his face.....

"We have come out together after so many years....we should have done this sooner" said an emotional Bebe...."You know Sahiba...when these kids were younger....Brar Sahab used to take all of us to Manali....to see the snow..every winter...it used to be so much fun together with everyone"

"Wow....it must have been amazing....you go every year" Sahiba asked

"We used to....but have not gone for years and years now....but seeing everyone together....I was remembering that time"

"Why don't you go"

"Everyone is so busy and scattered.....no one has time...."

"Bebe....knowing everyone...I am sure they will make time if you say it.....must be so lovely to see snow..."

"Have you seen snow....it's like cotton...and Falling snow is one of the most beautiful thing to see" said an excited Bebe

"No bebe I have never seen snow....I am sure I will one day" smiled Shaiba...

They chit chatted through out the Dinner

Angad had a clear view of Sahiba...he could see every expression as it crossed her face....her smile....her laughter....her patience while she listened to Bebe...

"Thank you so much for joining in Sahiba....we all really enjoyed your company" Daarji told her as they were leaving the place.....

"Yes Di.....why are you not visiting us these days....come more often na" cried Prince hugging her....

"I really enjoyed with everyone too" She said hugging prince and giving him a kiss on his cheeks...

"Sahiba now don't make us wait for months before we meet again" Bebe Scolded her...."Garry, drop her home....and Sahiba come sooner puttar"

"Actually why don't we...." Garry started to make some excuse when Seerat glared at him

"Garry WE are dropping Sahiba" She gave him the look

He agreed without another word....Sahiba nd Angad noticed the whole exchange and wondered what was that all about...

AS sahiba went to bed, she realised she had had a good time...the brars were a very loving family....and it had not been as awkward with Angad as she had thought....he was behaving himself....

Great chapter as always!

Such a sweet chapter... loved it

Uff the seatbelt scene was giving me goosebumps! Awesome chapter 🤩

Perfect! Loved it... I can already see Angad changing... And it's not a drastic change and it feels so organic... Not an easy thing... Kudos to you ji. 😍😍😍... Also out of curiosity does your Angad wear blazers as well 😬

P. S: Almost forgot. The seatbelt scene and Sahiba getting attracted to him was awesome.

A warm and a lighthearted update.

Saheba should wear more sarees, Angad goes speechless in front of her..

That seat belt scene reminded me of IPK, that attraction and the pull.

I am glad that Angad's retrospection and his feelings about Saheba is not sudden, it is beautifully built up and organic.

Okay so we will see Sahan in Manali next.....

Loved seerat being protective about Sahiba….that’s how should be the elder sister….love their bond

Amazing update 🤩👏

Seeing improvement in Angad's behaviour was nice ☺️ He is making an effort and it could be seen clearly. Garry is bent on making then a couple 😂😂 I wonder what reaction would everyone give when they realise Angad-Sahiba has chemistry in between them 🤣

Great chapter 👍
