Shruti's POV
What are you thinking, love? "
" Nothing, my parents have been talking about me getting married, since Maurvi had come to my place to take permission from my parents to go to her engagement. They are saying that she was even younger than me. "
" So, my parents are ready... As soon as we tell them that we want to marry, they will talk to your parents. "
" But, I don't want to get married so soon. I want to do my MD as well. "
" So what is the problem?? "
" My father is very stressed out with work. I have to tell him that I want to do MD as well but I know that he would freak out. "
" We both love each other, let's get married. Then your father won't be able to stop you. You can continue your MD once we are married. " He said.
It was so nice of him to say that.
" But... "
" What is the problem with that?? Your father will be stress-free that they got you married. You will be happy as you could do MD plus you get me and I will be happy to be married to you. You know my family, they will support you in everything. "
" But once we get married, we have family responsibilities. How will I study? "
" I know my family, they have never forced us to do anything we did not want to do. They are very supportive and progressive. They will never stop you or Maurvi from doing anything related to your career. My mom is a career woman. She understands all this. "
" Yeah, I know, they are very cool and friendly. But will my parents agree to that?? "
" Leave that to my dad, he is the smartest of us all. You don't know him. He has a solution for everything, so don't worry. Just calm down. Here listen to this I collected these for you. My feelings for you. " He said and pulled me in his arms. I leaned against him and he played some cool romantic songs.
We kept sitting there on that swing listening to the music. None of us said anything, he was holding my hand and I was leaning against his chest. All the songs were really romantic and beautiful.
We were lost in them and when I opened our eyes the next time, I was shocked to see that it was morning already.
Oh, God!! We slept here on the swing itself ??
I tried to get away but Siddharth was holding me. We had a light blanket wrapped around us.
Oh, God! Maurvi??
Who else?
Shit!! What would she think about us??
I shook him, but he rubbed his nose on my neck. Oh No !!
" Siddharth !!! " I got out of his arms but he was still holding my hand.
" Hmmm? "
" Get up, leave me... We slept on the swing. " I was embarrassed.
" You slept in my arms, love bird. " He said.
" Leave my hand, before I become an angry bird and attack you. " I said and he smiled lazily.
Oh, God !! He looked so handsome even when he has just woken up. And I must be looking... Oh no !!!
His lazy smile was making me crazy. He was looking at me with an amused expression.
" Why are you smiling like this?? "
" I Slept so well... Thank you, love. "
" Thank you?? Are you crazy? We should not have... What will Maurvi think about me?? "
" Nothing !! She is too sweet to say anything. "
" But still... It is not right." I said.
" We just slept here holding hands. There is nothing wrong with it. "
" It is wrong !! My father would kill me if he comes to know that I was alone with a man. "
" Not any man... The man who intends to marry you even at the drop of a hat. I love you, Shruti."
" Ok, fine get up. I am already embarrassed to look into Maurvi's eyes. "
" She might tease us to death. " He said with a smile.
I went inside and saw Maurvi working on the breakfast. I had to talk to her...
" Hi, good morning !! " She said cheerfully.
" Hi !!! I was a bit embarrassed to say anything more. "
" It is ok, Shruti. I am not going to judge you for that. You just slipped into slumber. You didn't do anything wrong. "
" I am sorry... I was here to spend time with you but... "
" I know how persuasive these brothers are. So chill... Let me tell you something to make you comfortable. I have also done that. It is all about understanding. You were just sitting there holding hand and then the sleep claimed you. Don't worry. It is ok. Though I am going to tease him as he has teased me and Gautam a lot. " She said and winked at me.
" Hi beauties... what's up ?? " Siddharth came in and said.
" Hi! Nothing routine for me... But it seems that for someone, it is the brightest day of the year till now. " Maurvi said and he smiled brightly.
" Yeah !! Exactly... I must say you are very smart. Perfect for Bhai !! "
" Hmmm... I hope you both slept well. I mean, the swing is not as comfortable as the beds are. "
" Who cares ?? It was the last thing that must have come to my mind. I was enjoying cuddling my ... " He was grinning.
" Will you please shut up??? " I said. My face was getting red. They both burst out laughing. Siddharth came to hug me but I hit him with one of the ladles. But he kept laughing.

He is so... Ughhh.
" I will tell bhaiya that you are irritating me. "
" What will you tell him?? That we spent the night on the swing? " He asked with a smirk.
" Ha ha ha... As if he is better than him? Forget it, Shruti. In this case, he will take his side only. They both are the same. "
" Oh, so you spent the night on the swing talking to each other too. " I asked.
" No, in the car. Power failure on a summer night. We started the car AC and kept sitting there and eventually slept. "
" Oh, but that was the need of the hour. " He said.
" Don't you know your brother?? "
" I know, even taking a crash course from him in romance. "
" Ok fine... Now go and get ready. Or you will be late for the hospital. " Maurvi said.
" Maurvi, tonight we have the welcome party for the interns and new doctors. It is mandatory to attend it... Will you be alright ?? " I asked.
" Oh yes, mom and dad will be back by the evening. Don't worry about me. Just go and enjoy. "
" She is going as my date and today everyone will come to know that we are in love and are going to be engaged very soon. "
" Great !! I am happy for you. "
" I am going to tell dad to talk to her father. We want to get married too. " He said looking at me with so much love.
" Wow !! Congratulations!! "
" Thanks beautiful. "
" Why don't you get married on the same day with us?? "
"Awesome !! We can do that." He said but I shook my head.
" Why?? "
" What do you mean why?? How can we marry within 10 days ?? No ! "
" Ok fine... Engagement?? I mean at their wedding?? "
" Siddharth !! "
" Ok fine !! " He said and went away to get ready. Maurvi just shook her head and smiled.
After about 20 minutes we left for the hospital. Raman and Anita were already in the doctor's room. They saw me and smiled.
" So, who is your mystery man?? Are you going on a date with him ?? " Anita asked. I just smiled and some colour started creeping in my cheeks.
" Oh my God, she is blushing. C'mon yaar tell us at least something about him. When did you meet him? Who is he?? " Anita asked and Raman was also inquisitive about my date.
" Good morning, everyone! What is going on?? Some serious discussion? " He asked.
" No sir, we were asking her about her date, but she is blushing. " Raman said.
" Why don't you tell us about the one, who makes you blush like that, Dr Singh? He must be a lucky man. " Siddharth asked Looking into my eyes.
