Mohit's POV
" Excuse me, miss. " I went towards her and tapped on her shoulder. She turned and my heart skipped a few beats.
Oh, God!! My Srusti !! My beautiful wife??
Was she there for real?? I have been imagining her everywhere these days.
She was looking very different. Her hair was pressed straight. She was looking very different but beautiful.
" Hey, Mohit !! Surprised?? Shocked?? Meet my new friend and assistant Srusti. " Manu said patting my arm and placing her other arm around Srusti's shoulder.
" She is here? " I said. I was so happy to see her that I stated the very obvious thing.
" Don't act like a duffer. Of course, she is here. " She laughed at me.
" But she refused to come with me. "
" Because we wanted to give you a surprise. "
" Ok, thanks!!! I was shocked to see a lady wearing my design which got finished only today. I thought it was stolen by someone and sold so I wanted to ask the lady where did she get it from? "
" Oh, lady?? You don't recognise her?" Manu glared at me.
" She was facing away. All I could see was her hair and the dress. And she has styled her hair differently. She was not coming... So how could I ?" I said smiling at both of them.
" Well sorry, I stole your design for my friend. I hope you don't mind. "
" I do mind... "
" What?? "
" I told you he would be annoyed... He was... " my lovely wife said.
" I do mind, that you are saying that you stole it. It is not termed as stolen because all my designs and everything that is mine is hers. So she can take it without asking me.
And you my dear, you are my best friend, you can take anything you want. So I mind... "
" Awww... You are a sweetheart. I even clicked her pictures in this dress. She is looking better than that model will look. Isn't it?? " Manu said.
" Absolutely !! Much better... " I said looking at my beautiful wife. She had started blushing already.
Mohit's POV
Vidhi called everyone as it was time for the cake cutting. She and Shubh helped their daughter cut the cake and everyone wished her. Helpers started serving the cake.
We all got busy with our groups. Women were talking about fashion and kids in a big group there.
The older kids were talking in a group. All the cute little kids were having the cake and my sweet angel was making Sanya and Suhana eat some cake and she seemed to enjoy feeding them as much as they were enjoying. She was always very happy around kids.
I wanted to see her with my kids. I mean our kids. She said she loved me... She does... I know that. But my past... Would she accept me??
Sahil and all the men started talking about their kids and everyone had a cute little something to add to the conversation. I was enjoying their cute little tales about their kids.
" It seems you all are enjoying your parenthood. " I asked.
" Definitely... I am loving it and I am sure everyone here is enjoying it like anything. In fact, Sagar is trying to persuade Damini for another child. " Sahil said.
" Really ?? You all feel the same way?? " I looked at all of them.
" Yes... " They all said in unison.
I looked towards my Srusti once again.
" What are you thinking Mohit ?? " Gautam asked.
" Nothing... What do your wives think about being mothers?? "
" They are obsessed with them. Every single girl is loving it. Though every one of them is professional and had to take a break from their career and stay at home for some time, they are enjoying it. Trust me, it is a beautiful feeling that you created a life. That child becomes the centre of your life. " Vikram said
" Is it?? " I asked again.
" Why do you think, Manu takes her kids with her to work. She wants to be around them and doesn't want to take a longer break. That is why we hired another assistant for her. Srusti is helping her in work as well as raising kids while she is working. " Sahil said and everyone nodded.
I smiled faintly and looked at her once again. I was determined to have her in my life. I don't care what Maya and Viraj think, she was mine. Mine !!
She was my ray of light and hope. I wanted her in my life. I wanted to have kids with her. I wanted to grow old with her.
Most of the guests had left only the close friends and family of Shubh and Vidhi were here now.
I went where Srusti was standing with Manu and the kids. I asked Manu if she could her for a few minutes. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I winked at her, she smiled back and nodded.
I caught my angel's hand and took her to the centre of the hall. She was looking at me with surprise.
" Excuse me, everyone !! Can I have your attention for a minute?? " I said.
Everyone was looking at us now waiting for me to say something. Srusti was looking at me with surprise.
" Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you something. I would like you all to meet the most important person in my life... My beautiful wife, Srusti Mohit Paul. " I said looking into her eyes and she was surprised at first but then she smiled and started blushing instantly.
" What?? You got married?? When? "
Everyone was asking all of a sudden.
" Well it is a long story, but to cut it short, I would say that my mom and dadi were in ICU and they wanted us to get married. So we had a civil marriage and a small ceremony at home with only family members. "
" Oh, so you ordered that ring so urgently for your bride?? " Mehul asked and I nodded with a smile.
" But that is not fair, you flirted with our wives and didn't even tell us about your wedding. " Shubh said and others nodded.
" I still remember, Samar and I wanted to beat him to a pulp on Sagar's wedding. " Sahil said.
" Same here... I wanted to kill him when we went shopping there in his showroom. " Shubh said.
" But don't you see that he has changed over a few months? " Sahil said.
" Yeah, I even said this to Sandhya bhabhi when we went shopping at his showroom. " Vidhi said and Sandhya bhabhi nodded. My sweet angel was still blushing hard.
" We want a party or a wedding again so that we all can attend it. " Gautam said.
" We gave already been married twice. So no wedding, but yes, we can have a huge reception. My family would also love it. " I said pulling my wife in my arms. Everyone clapped for us.
The girls pulled her with them she was blushing so hard. All the men started teasing me about my past and how I flirted with them. I kept smiling at it.
It was a beautiful evening, Srusti seemed to have found new friends and I was very happy now after telling everyone that she was my wife. We took our leave and came back.
" Thanks for coming beautiful, I was planning to tell everyone if you had come with me. I loved your surprise but I was so sad that I was going alone. I am so happy after telling everyone. " I said.
We reached home and I saw that she had already slept. I tried to wake her up but she was sleeping with such a beautiful smile on her face that I didn't have the heart to wake her up.
I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to talk to her but she must have been very tired to sleep like that.
