Manyata's POV

Swati started showing all the dresses and outfits,  but I was thinking about how would I live in the same room with him?

Sagar Ji and Sahil came downstairs. Sahil was grinning like anything and Sagar Ji was trying not to laugh.

I just kept looking anywhere but at Sahil as he was ogling me with a big smile on his face.

He was so shameless... What would others think about us??

Everyone got engrossed in looking at the dresses and outfits. Sagar Ji and aunty had not seen them. Swati and Damini were showing all the dresses with enthusiasm. Sagar Ji also loved the outfits Damini got for him.

" So... would you like to go and see our room ??  He said very close to my ear. I got startled as I was so engrossed in my own thoughts that I didn't realise, he was standing just behind me and when he bent to say this my back touched his chest.

I took a step away from him but he also took another step and wrapped his arm around my waist. 

Oh, God !! Now what?? How would  I survive with a satan in the same room??

Sahil's POV

We got our bags and all the dress from our car. Mom and Damini were waiting there for us. Swati started showing all the dresses and outfits to mom. Sagar also went to see them as he had not seen them.

" Sahil,  first you go and keep all your bags in your room. " mom said to me.

" Ok mom," I said and went up with two bags. I planned to come again for Manu's bags. I kept my bag in my room and was going to keep one in Swati's room as it belonged to Manu.

" Here are your bags... " Sagar came with the two bags.

" Oh, they are Manu's bags, let's go and keep them in Swati's room. " I said. But Sagar stopped me.

" There is no need to go anywhere. I brought them here as they are meant to be here. " he winked.

" What ?? Please don't tease... I am not in a mood. "

" I am not teasing, mom told me to keep these bags in  your room,  Manu would be staying in your room, from now onwards." He said with a grin.

"  What ??  Seriously ?? Wow !! I will break your jaw if you are kidding. " I said to him and he just laughed.

" I am not... You should have seen her face when mom said that. She was literally pleading with eyes to mom, to change her decision but I had already talked to mom about it. So she ignored her plea and just smiled."

" I love you bhai... You are the best. " I hugged him.

" I know that now just enjoy being in the same room with your wife. Come downstairs I want to see, what Damini got for me and herself. " He said and we both came where everyone was.

I just could not stop grinning. I looked at her, she was nervous as hell. She was not even looking at me.

She was so cute and innocent. I was going insane with the desire to make her mine. I just wanted to kidnap my own wife like Gautam.

I remember how Sagar also tried that but failed miserably.

Everyone was engrossed in the dresses. And my beautiful wife was engrossed in thinking about how to avoid being in the same room with me.

I went near her but still, she was lost. I stood behind her and said, " So would you like to go and see our room ?? "

She realised that I was near her. She took a step away from me, I loved the way she was affected by the way our bodies were touching. I also took another step and snaked my arm around her.

She shuddered again. This was going to be very interesting to see if she would be able to resist my advances towards her. I knew she liked me now, but she was very hesitant to take our relationship to another level.

She removed my arm and went near Swati. I smiled at her cute antics to stay away from me.

But she didn't know what Storm was going to hit her very soon.

But I was sure that I would be spending half my day in the bathroom taking cold showers.

I just called Samar to come over. He was very excited to know that we had already reached here.

Dad had already invited Samar and Mathur uncle for dinner that day. But Samar being Samar was coming for lunch as well as he didn't leave a single chance to be around Swati.

He came for the lunch and was very happy to know about the good news of the arrival of junior Sagar or Damini.

He hugged Damini and my over-possessive twin hit him.

" What is your problem, Sagar?? Can't I hug my sister now?? "

" She is my wife... "

" Yes, I know, but my sister as well. So, I can hug her and If I can't, then neither can you hug Swati, once I marry her. " He said wiggling his eyebrows. Sagar was shocked. While all of us laughed.

" Sagar, he is a lawyer, don't mess with him. " Damini laughed and said.

" Yeah... Whatever. " He said with a frown on his face but later burst out laughing.

All the girls went to look for the matching accessories along with mom and 3 of us, came to the living room.

" Hey, Mohit seems to be talented all the dresses and outfits are awesome.

By the way, I forgot to ask that day, but did that Mohit flirt with any of the three girls?? " Sagar asked.

" Yeah, he did flirt a lot... " Samar said.

" Seriously?? Did you punch him?? " Sagar asked.

" No, we could not. "

" Why?? "

" Because he flirted a lot, but not with girls. " Samar said.

" What do you mean?? " Sagar was confused.

" With Sahil and me... " Samar said.

" What ???? " Sagar's jaw almost touched the floor.

" Hmm... Manu saved us from him. But later Sahil was being very friendly with him. "

" Sahil ?? What does that mean? "

" We have become friends, he is a very nice and genuine man. He is a fabulous and overprotective friend of Manu and is more interested in men.  They share almost the same relationship I share with Samar or you share with your friends. He can go to any length to protect Manu. They are in such a profession where exploitation is very common. But he takes care of Manu. He is overprotective towards her. So if someone is her best friend,  then I should accept him too. "

" Can you trust him with Manu? " Sagar asked.

" Yes, I can. He is a nice man. How does that matter if his sexual preferences are different than us? "

" Good. Yes, that is his personal matter. We are no one to be judgemental about it.  " Sagar said.

" Yes, I totally agree with you.  And he is really talented, all the outfits are interesting. " Samar exclaimed.

" Hmm... I also liked them. " Sagar said.

We kept talking about work, office, arrangements etc.

We all had lunch. And three of us went to the office and see other arrangements. We all had decided to go out for dinner at our favourite restaurant.

Manyata's POV

Swati was busy with her pre-engagement beauty treatments.

Damini asked me, " So, any progress in your relationship? I mean, since you both were alone there in the house. "

" Sahil told me about his feelings... He is being very nice to me. " I said shyly.

" What about your feelings?? "

" Actually... I like him too. But somehow, I feel very shy. I don't know, but I am apprehensive about being in the same room. "

" It happens in arranged marriages. It is absolutely normal for you to think that, but it has its own charm. I know he loves you a lot and even you love him. So be normal and things will be fine very soon. "

" I don't know... I have never even once been in any relationship and you know about Sahil... We are totally opposite of each other. I always avoided talking to any man other than on professional matters.  I don't know anything. My dad was not very happy about my profession but he still let me do it, so I always kept a distance from men as my parents would have disapproved that. My mom has been very conservative to discuss such things. and I never had many friends. You can say Mohit is my only friend. So... "

" I understand, but we are family, you can talk to me. I am just like your sister. "

That was so sweet of her. Should I ask her what was bothering me??

Manyata's POV

Damini said that we were just like sisters so I could ask her if she has a problem. How sweet of her.

I told her how my body behaved strangely. She explained a few things to me and said that it was absolutely normal to feel like that. She told me to take it easy, as it happens to everyone.

I was still very curious why Sahil took so many showers. I didn't know how to ask.

Finally, I asked her about it, "Damini, er... Umm... what does cold shower means?? "

" What?? " She asked with her eyes wide open.

" Er... He is always rushing to take bath. Is it normal??  Yesterday I threw cold water on him and he said, thanks for the cold shower. "

" Oh !! So someone is taking cold showers these days ?? " she teased but blushed a bit. I was embarrassed now. My face started getting red.

" Yeah... " I didn't know if I should have asked about it or not.

But she told me about it and my face was as red as a tomato. She told me not to get embarrassed about it. But my face was absolutely red.

She told me to go and change for dinner. I was dreading going to the room. But as there was no way out, I went towards the room with my heart beating like a drum.

Sahil's POV

Sagar and I came back from work and I went to our room to get ready for dinner. I was very excited as she would be staying with me.

I made space in my cupboard for her stuff. Just then there was a faint knock on the door.

I opened it and found my beautiful wife standing there. She looked hesitant, I asked her to come in, but she kept standing there. I held her hand and asked her to come in. She did with slow unsure steps.

I smiled at her nervousness.  I didn't want to scare her, but at the same time, we needed to be a bit more intimate to take our relationship to another level.

May God give me the strength to resist her.

" So welcome to our room wifey'. See I even created some space in the wardrobe. You can keep your stuff here. " I said and she just nodded. Her face was absolutely red.

But why?? I didn't say or do anything... She was not even looking at me.

" What happened?? " I asked.

" N... nothing. "

" Then why are you not looking at me?? And why is your face so red? "

" Just like that... " she said. I tilled her face by pushing lightly under her chin.

" Are you scared of me? " I asked but she didn't say anything.

" Tell me, honey, I love you so much, I would never hurt you."

" No, it is just a bit awkward... "

" It's ok, take it easy... I am just a tamed satan now. " I winked ay her and she smiled a little.

" So let's get ready for dinner. Do you want to use washroom first or shall I take a bath?  "

" You want to take a shower again? Oh, ok go... " She asked with her eyes wide open, it seemed that she was thinking something.

But what??

" Ok, you can unpack and keep your stuff in there, I made enough space for you to use it. By the way, what are you going to wear for the dinner??"

" Oh, ok... What?? I don't know, let me see. " she was still thoughtful.

" Please wear something special."I went to take a shower.

What was bothering her ?? Staying in the same room as me??

Manyata's POV

Oh, God!! He was going to take another cold shower??

I was embarrassed as hell since she explained things to me. How would I face him ??

He was behaving so nicely with me, I was getting attracted to him day by day. I was just scared, the way my body reacted to his proximity, it was alien to me. I worked with so many good looking men, but I never felt like that. In fact, I always concentrated on just my work.

Damini explained to me that it was normal, this was normal between a couple. And however alien the feeling maybe, but I liked being in his arms and whenever he kissed me. Damini had asked me to loosen up a bit more.

She also said that I was in love with him,  I didn't know if it was right or not but I liked him around me. I think she was right. I must try to take a step ahead in this relationship.

I took out a nice dress for me to wear, and kept the rest on my stuff in that cupboard. 

How thoughtful of him to create some space for me, he was welcoming me with open arms, I must accept the change too.

He came out of the bathroom wearing just a towel.

Oh, God !! Was he doing it deliberately? Why didn't he wear clothes in the bathroom?

But he had an amazing body.  He could be one of the supermodels with his perfect body and handsome chiselled looks.

" So ?? Liked it?? I knew it, Would you click my pictures, if I want to become a model. " he came closer to me.

Don't come close...

" Why do you want to be a model?? " I asked him.

"  Your best friend gave me an offer. He wants me to be one of his models. So I thought, I may give it a try. Can I be a model??  Will you click my pictures?? They said you are the best in your profession. "

Why can't this Mohit stay away from him? Idiot !! Why did he say that to Sahil?

" Forget about his offer, he is an idiot. Yes, you can be a good model, but you are better off as a businessman."

" But how about a photoshoot?? I should get a chance... I liked his idea, what do you say?? How soon can you get my portfolio clicked? " he came very close to me.

" I don't know, I am very busy, maybe after a month or two. "

" Oh come on wife, being your husband, I should get at least some privileges. Why don't you get my pictures clicked? You can even click them now. " he came even closer.

" No, I am on vacation. " I said.

How stupid of me to say that but could not think of anything else. He was standing there in front of me in just a towel.

" Spoilsport... You can click pictures of your hot husband on a vacation," he smirked and winked at me.

How can he be so comfortable, standing here in front of me,  wearing almost nothing?

" Please get ready and go out I need to be ready. "

" Why should I go out of my own room??

" Ok, I will go and get ready in Swati's room. " I said and he caught my hand and came very close.

" What is the problem in my staying here?? I would not disturb you, in fact, I can help you in getting ready.  " He whispered in my ear. I was sure that he must have heard my heartbeat.

" Sahil, please... I know we are married, but please, it is a bit awkward. " I said closing my eyes. He kissed my cheek.

" Ok honey, your wish is my command, as it is,  today is a special day for us,  don't take stress, but before that, will you suggest me, what should I wear? "

" Me ?? "

" Who else?? You are my wife... You can suggest to me what I should wear. "

" But... "

" No buts, I will go out as soon as you take out something for me to wear and I wear it.  It's our special day you see. So, I want to wear what you take out for me. "

" Ok," I said and looked for his attire for the night. He stood right behind me and slid my hair aside and placed his chin on my shoulder. I could feel heat flowing in my body. I  took out a  formal set of clothes for him hurriedly.

He kissed on my shoulder, took them and smiled.

" What have you taken out for yourself? " He asked and I pointed towards the dress I had taken out.

" Hmm nice, I am going out, get ready fast," he said and I nodded and went to the bathroom to get ready.

Sahil's POV

I got ready and went downstairs. Dad and Sagar were ready, but the women were taking the time.

After about 20 minutes, they started coming out. Mom and Damini came out, Swati and Manu were yet to come.

" Sahil, please call both of them, I am sorry, but I am hungry. " Damini said and mom smiled at her lovingly.

" Shall I get you something to eat??" Mom asked but she declined.

Just then Swati and Manu also came downstairs. Manu was looking gorgeous.

We all went for dinner, Samar and Mathur uncle also came shortly. Damini's parents had already gone back to Dubai. They were planning to wind up everything there and come back to India.

Samar could not even take his eyes off Swati. Both Sagar and I glared at him for looking at our sister like that, but he was not bothered. They were like two cute love birds.

" Samar your best friend is also here." I teased him.

" Yeah, I know... Hi !! " he said and we all burst out laughing. Swati was blushing like anything.

We all enjoyed our family dinner. Everyone was happy. We all had so many reasons to smile. It was so good to see everyone smiling.
