Mohit's POV
" Hello !!" I said to Sahil, who was on the other side of the phone.
" What is this?? Do you want to die?? " He asked.
" No, I want her back... "
" Then work on that... You need calories for that. I swear only I know, how much effort I took to win Manu back in my life."
" She cares too much for me. She is worried like hell that I have not eaten anything since yesterday. I know it affects her, she loves me too. "
" Ok, but you need to find a way to win her back. Tell her you love her at every single opportunity you get. Find ways to spend maximum time with her. She is my sister, I should not say it, but you are my friend and want both of you to be happy, so I suggest you make use of your experience and seduce her slowly. I did that... It works. Make her aware, how much you want her back. " He said and chuckled.
I laughed imagining what would Manu do to him if she knew what he said?? Well, it was between him and me. I don't want Manu to kill my adviser and supporter.
" Viraj said he would get the divorce papers ready. "
" Ha ha ha... You know what to do with them. Do what I did. Shred them to pieces. And use your charm man... Hell !! I hate to admit it, but it works very well on girls. I have seen how every girl finds you very charming, all the three young women in my family found you very charming leaving Sagar, Samar and me burning on hot coals. So use your charm on your wife. She already loves you. It won't be difficult. Very soon you will have her eating out of your hand. "
" Hmmm, you are right. But I will eat from her hand only. "
" All the best... But if my stubborn but cute sister does not feed you. Please eat something or you may die and Viraj will get her married to someone else. "
" Over my dead body... "
" You will be a dead body if you don't eat... So eat. " He said.
" Ok, bye !! I love you. " I said to tease Manu who was already annoyed with me." She snatched the phone from me hit me on my arm.
" I will kill you Mohit. Sahil, you will sleep on the sofa from now on... " She said to him.
" I know, he said that but... But... I hate both of you. Don't talk to me. And Mohit, I will make sure that Srusti doesn't talk to you ever. " She said and banged the call.
" See, I always liked Sahil... You know that. So, if I don't get my lovely wife in my life back, I will always flirt with your husband. The choice is yours... " I said with one of my eyebrows raised.
" I hate you, Mohit. " She glared at me.
" But I love both you and your hot husband. Now go and help me with your assistant. " I smiled and winked at her.
" Oh, God! Why did I get him as my best friend?? He is a confirmed idiot and manipulator." She rolled her eyes and said.
" Go love go... Save our marriages. Remember that I loovvvve Sahil. " I said and she started throwing things in my direction. I tried to save myself from them.
" Aree baba... You know I am joking. " I said touching my ears.
" I know... But I don't like to hear you say it. "
" Sorry beautiful... Your Sahil is yours only. I am not at all interested in him that ways. I just love the way you get jealous. I wish to see that expression on srusti's face. She was jealous of you. I loved it but now she knows... And now she is too angry. "
" She is possessive about you. I can see that. I will send her in... Try your luck and eat food. Or I will join the Viraj Jiju gang. "
" No, I want you on my side. You are my Bff. "
" Liar !! " She said and went out.
Srusti's POV
I was playing with kids when Manyata came in. She looked annoyed and worried.
" What happened?? " I asked her.
" Nothing, I am sick of this man... "
" Sahil bhaiya?? " I smiled and asked. They love each other like crazy.
" No, Mohit !! " She said and that smile dropped from my face.
" Why, what happened?? "
" You know what?? He has not had anything since that breakfast you served him yesterday. I think that idiot is hell-bent to die. He is so stubborn... I don't know what to do with him." She said and I really felt very bad.
" He is your best friend... Force him to eat. " I could not stop myself from saying.
" I tried... But he is adamant. I cooked everything he liked because I knew he must not have had anything. But that idiot didn't even taste it. How long he would survive?? He would get those terrible headaches. I don't know what to do. " She said and after checking on the girls, she went back to her work.
I kept sitting there, thinking about what she just said. I just could not let him suffer. I went to his office, he was adjusting the dress he was designing on the mannequin. He seemed to be engrossed in his work. I cleared my throat to gain his attention but he didn't hear it.
He was so dedicated...
" You have not had your lunch till now. Why?? "
" I am too busy to eat. " He said
I picked up the plate and went to heat the food in the microwave and came back in 3 minutes.
" Eat it before it gets cold again. "
" I am busy and not hungry. " He said without even looking at me. I went near him and I took a spoonful of food and held it in front of his face.
He looked at it and then at me.
" Have it. " I said.
" Why?? "
" Why?? Simple... because you need food. "
" For god's sake, I need you. "
" Listen... "
" Why should I listen to you when you don't listen to me?? Why don't you understand that I want you in my life, not the damn food? I didn't tell you earlier as it was irrelevant earlier and then I fell for you and was insecure that you will leave me."
" You should have tried to tell me. It was a new thing for me but I would have understood. But you never bothered."
" Oh, but I have told you now... And see you left me. I was right that you would leave me alone once you get to know. So let it be. " He said and turned his head.
" I didn't leave because of that... I left because you could not trust me. You should have tried telling me. "
" You were with me when I was hiding this. The moment I told the truth, you all started hating me. This proves that maybe I was right in hiding the facts. "
" No... " I was saying when my phone started ringing. It was di.
" Yes, di?? "
" What time will you be free? "
" Around 7. Why di?? "
" I was asking because we were planning to go out for dinner. "
" Going out for Dinner ?? Why di?? "
" Just like that... We will come to your office to pick you up. "
" But di... I don't want to go... "
" Why?? "
" I just had a heavy lunch. "
" You are coming with us, you didn't even have breakfast. I know you have not eaten lunch. So don't tell lies. "
" Ok... " I cut the call. And was about to go away as he seemed to be in a different mood. He caught my hand.
" So you just had heavy lunch?? Just like you had heavy breakfast?? Why did you lie? You did not eat anything.
I know, you are also upset. "
" Leave me. I had breakfast. "
" Liar !! "
" Listen just have your food... "
" No, I want food made by my beautiful wife in my home. I will not eat till then. "
" Are you crazy?? "
" Yes, for you. Listen beautiful, I will eat only when my wife will cook the meal and make me eat with her hand. "
" Oh, very well... but let me tell you, that you will have to wait for that meal for a very long time as my brother is going to get the divorce papers ready. Get ready to sign them. Then you would have to find another girl and then get married for real. Then she would make food for you. "
" First of all, I will never sign the papers. So forget about divorce. You can enjoy your stay with your brother if you want. But you will be back with me soon. Very soon. And you will cook my favourite food. "
