Mohit's POV
" You just shut up, Sahil !! By the way, did you also have a relationship with Mohit?? I thought he loved Manu but now I think he might have loved you. Is it the case?? " Maya asked him shocking him.
" NO !!!! Not at all, Di !! I am absolutely straight. He was neither in love with Manu nor in love with me. We are just friends, very good friends. But he really loves her. I saw how much he cares for her. She also loves him... Please don't separate them. "
" I don't care... He didn't bother about her and our feelings. Why should I bother about his feelings? She was under threat because of him. His former lover wanted to harm my sister. How do I know, she would be safe now?? No, she is going home with me. Come Srusti !!! " He went to her caught her hand and pulled her with him. She had not given any reaction since I started explaining this.
I held her other hand to stop her.
" No!! Please... She is my wife. "
" Only on paper... " Viraj said.
" But still she is legally wedded to me. "
" Not for very long... I will talk to my lawyer. Be ready to let her go... " he retorted.
" I won't... "
" You promised her. "
" If she had loved someone else... She loves me. "
" I don't think she loves you after this. "
" No!! Srusti... Tell him you love me!! Please, tell him you love me you told me yesterday that you love me. You need to stay with me. We have to solve all our issues. Please, I want our marriage to be a real one. Tell him you love me. " But she didn't utter a word.
" I hope you got your answer, Mohit. She does not love you. So sign the papers and I will get her married to someone else. One of my cousins is quite eligible. What do you think about Sujoy, Maya??"
WHAT??? No !!!!
" Sujoy Khanna?? Hmmm.. tall, dark, rich, handsome, successful. He is good. But... " Maya said.
" But?? " Viraj and I said at the same time.
" His reputation... I mean he is a bit flirt. I have heard he chases everyone in the skirt. You know, what I mean... " Maya said.
" How can you suggest such a man... " I was saying but Viraj cut my sentence.
" That's ok... " Viraj said. Is he out of his mind??
" What ??? Do you have no problem with that?? For god's sake, she is your sister. "
" That's why I think he is good. At least he chases only those in skirts. Here even the ones in trousers were also in the scene. Someone even tried to harm her. I am cutting down on her competitors. "
" Viraj ?? Maya, Please put some sense into him. "
" Oh please, he is much more sensible than you. Viraj, all him for dinner someday soon. Srusti can make the dinner. He would fall in love with just a bite of her food. Love at first bite..." Maya said.
" What?? Have you both lost your mind? She is my wife. " I said and they both ignored me.
" Hmmm... Perfect !! Dinner with Sujoy. Done!! Let's go. " Viraj said.
He pushed me aside and walked out holding Srusti's hand. She walked as if she was a puppet. She had not said a single word. What was she thinking??
" Viraj, please... Maya... Srusti !!!" I went after them but they went away.
" It's ok... Mohit. They are angry. Let it be for some time. " He said patting my back and then he went to my office to pick up Manu and kids from there.
I kept trying to call her but her phone was switched off.

Srusti's POV
( Next day)...
I persuaded di and jiju to let me come to work. They were reluctant to let me go but then let me come as I loved doing my job. I entered the office and saw Sonia arranging the equipment.
Oh, I had forgotten, Manyata ma'am would start clicking pictures from today.
I greeted her and went to keep my stuff in the nursery. Mohit was waiting there he came towards me, I turned to go out but he came and blocked my way and started coming towards me.
" What is this?? "
" What?? "
" Get away from my way... "
" Not before you talk to me. "
" Get away or I will go home right away. "
" No! "
" There is nothing to talk..."
" Of course, there is... We need to talk. "
" I think you are late. "
" I know... I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. I swear, I wanted to tell everything to you. " He came quite close.
" But you didn't... "
" I was scared to lose you... I knew you would not be able to understand."
" Don't lie !! "
" Every word I am speaking is true. Trust me. "
" Trust you?? Who can tell lies even while sleeping?"
" Please, just this time, I swear, all this is true. Have some faith in me. "
" Faith?? Did you have faith in me?? Did you trust me?? You didn't ... So why expect it from me?? "
" Srusti, please... I love you. I didn't tell you in the beginning because I thought it didn't matter. And later I was falling for you so I got scared that you might leave me and go. "
" There is no point in this discussion now... " I was saying when the door opened and Manyata ma'am came in and hugged me.
" Are you alright?? " She asked and I nodded with a faint smile.
"Is he bothering you?? " She asked and I nodded. She glared at him and pushed him away.
" Listen Mohit, just stay away from my assistant. "
" Your assistant is my wife. Don't interfere... "
" This is the office and she is my assistant. Move back. She is not your wife here. "
" Manu !! "
" Mohit !! " She glared at him and caught hold of my hand and took me with her.
The kids were sleeping now so ma'am started clicking pictures.
I went to help her. There were 3 models present there. I had already met two of them. They waved at me. I smiled and waved back. Kabir was posing and another two were waiting sitting on the couch.
One of them whose name was Wasim came and stood by me.
" Hi, how are you?? "
" I am good... How are you? "
" I was good earlier... but much better now. "
" Why what happened?? "
" Nothing, I got a chance to talk to you. " He smiled. I just nodded politely.
" So?? Settled in the job? " He asked.
" Yeah..."
" Great!! I am also quite happy to have you around. " He said but before I could say anything, I heard one of the baby crying. I excused myself and went to the nursery. But he followed me.
Both the kids were awake I picked up Sanya as she was a bit irritated. I picked her up and started playing with her. She was tugging at my hair. And then all of a sudden she hugged me.
" Awww... These kids seemed to love you a lot. "
" Yeah, they are very sweet and friendly. We liked each other almost instantly. "
" Anyone would like you instantly."
" Ji ?? ".
" I mean... You are so pretty... I mean sweet... Anyone would like you. "
Just then I felt a tug at my hair. My hair got entangled in the button of Sanya's dress. And I don't know why she was in such a happy mood and was jumping in my arms. But my hair was getting pulled repeatedly and it started hurting now.
I was holding her in my arms as she was jumping so Wasim offered to help me he came very close to me to detangle my hair.
" Wasim!!! What the hell is going on?? What are you doing?? " I heard Mohit's angry voice.
