Shubh's POV

Vikram Ji was looking at her with so much love in his eyes but sandy was looking downwards only. He bent a bit towards her and said something.

She must have been shocked to hear his voice as she immediately looked at him.

She was looking confused and said something in a hushed voice. I could see that she had started getting very irritated.

He presented her with a rose bouquet. She was very confused and was hesitant a bit. Vikram Ji bent on one knee and offered the flowers to her again, she looked shocked but took it.

Everyone clapped and she looked at me as I was standing there. He just winked at her.

He got up and bent towards her again and whispered something again. She looked shocked but kept quiet as everyone had come really close. She looked at her parents and then Vikram ji's. She was shocked as hell.

They kept whispering till his friend teased them asked to get engaged first. Everyone started laughing.

Vidhi went near them. I was shocked to see her. She was looking very beautiful and se...

Shut up!!! Don't even think about it. Don't even say it in your mind.

I tried to look anywhere but her, but my eyes wanted to see just her. Her dress was a bit bold but looked so good on her. I felt an urge to hide her in my arms.

She was carrying a beautiful plate decorated with rose petals and the rings were kept on them.

Vikram Ji picked up the ring caught her hand in his and then slid the ring in her ring finger.

Everyone clapped for them. Then Sandy picked up the ring and slid it in his ring finger. Everyone was clapping and cheering now. Vidhi hugged both of them.

They took the blessings of the elders. I also hugged Sandhya and Vikram Ji. He patted on my back. I smiled when he said Thankyou. Sandhya glared at me, making him laugh. I mouthed a simple sorry but she was still angry.

His friends came to congratulate them. I excused myself and went to see the arrangements and see if everything was ok or not.

I went towards the food stalls for checking if all the food stalls were working properly. 

There I saw Vidhi again. I tried to go in the opposite direction to avoid her but my feet were rooted where they were.

I tried to look away but just like my feet, my eyes also refused to take orders from my mind. 

She was looking very hot and sexy. Her dress was accentuating her curves. She was gaining the attention of every single guy present there. I was getting irritated with all of them. I wanted to go away before she saw me but my body parts were not on the same page as my mind.

She was taking a glass full of some pomegranate juice from the waiter and she turned all of a sudden and bumped into me and the contents of the glass splashed on my light coloured kurta, leaving a very big round red patch.

" Oh my God !! I am so sorry... How clumsy of me... I ruined your outfit. "

She was so shocked and very embarrassed and kept saying sorry to me.

" It's ok... Please calm down. " I tried to assure her. I just wanted to get away from her as I didn't want any complication. But she was not even listening to what I said.

She took a tissue and tried to clean it.

But just a mere touch of her fingers on my torso was making me crazy. I felt sparks in my whole body.

What was happening??

Just then Vikram's Ji reached there and at the same time, Sandhya must have seen us too so she also came.

" It is ok Vidhi, this is just a stain. I will clean it. " I said and started walking towards the washroom.

" No, I am very clumsy. It is my fault, I should have been more careful. " Vidhi kept saying walking beside me.

Oh god !! Please tell her to leave me alone. I didn't want her to come with me. What if I lose my sanity and I do what I wanted to?

Shit !! Keep her away from me God.

" Hold on both of you, it is just a small thing. Shubh just come with me, I will clean it. " Sandhya said coming towards us.

" No Sandhya, you can't go from here. I can do it myself. Vikram Ji, please take her back. " I said.

" But.. " Sandhya was saying but I cut her sentence short.

" No buts.. just go back to the party. " I said and went towards the washroom. Vidhi followed me saying sorry and that she should help me.

Though I could hear my heart jumping in my chest, I didn't want to be alone with her.

But that sweet but stupid girl was following me to the washroom.

Would she come to the gents' restrooms too ??

Hey, good idea !!! That is the only way to stop her coming after me.

" Listen Vidhi, I can clean it myself please don't bother. It is a simple thing. I will manage it. "

" But I should clean it. "

" You can't come to men's restroom. And I can't go to women's. So I would have to manage it on my own. Please go away. Party is going on. "

" Yeah... I didn't think about that. But I am really sorry. "

" I know... It is perfectly alright. Please don't worry. " she nodded reluctantly and went away.

I took a deep breath. I was not aware that I was holding it for how long.

I went to the restroom and washed away the stain. It got cleaned with a bit of effort as it was still very fresh.

I came back to the party and made a mental note to stay as far away from her as possible.

Vidhi's POV

The engagement party was over and we all came home. I enjoyed a lot.

I was very excited to meet that tall dark handsome man who was not going out of my mind that easily. I don't know, why I felt like that.

I had taken special efforts in getting ready today. I wore a beautiful lehenga and I knew, I looked good as men were ogling at me. But I don't know why Shubh didn't even give me a second look.

Maybe he thinks that I was too clumsy. The first time we met and I fell on top of him and the second time I splashed juice on his outfit.

I wanted to help him but he seemed to be avoiding me. Fine by me...

*******

" Vidhi, get ready fast we all are going for shopping. Vikram, Sandhya will not come to the hospital today. " mom said and I started eating my breakfast.

" Why?? What happened?? " Bhai looked very concerned.

" She is going for the shopping with me and Vidhi. " mom said and he nodded.

" Oh, God !! So you would not be able to meet her... So bad. It would be a very long day Bhai. " I teased him and he glared at me first and then smiled a bit.

He went to the hospital and we got ready and went to her place. We bought many dresses for me and bhabhi.

We also bought some footwear, makeup and a few contemporary jewellery pieces from Mehul bhai's showroom. He was so happy to see mom and bhabhi at his showroom. Mom was also very happy to see his showroom and then had our lunch.

We even saw some traditional wedding lehenga and selected one for her. It was almost evening and we all were very tired... So we came back to her home.

Mom asked aunty, " Padma we are going back to Jodhpur tomorrow so I just wanted Sandhya to have dinner with us today. Is that ok with you? "

" Yes of course Rachana, she is your daughter too. You have every right to do that. "

" So, why don't we take her with us. Vikram will bring her back after dinner. " Mom said.

" As you wish. " Aunty said with a smile.

" Sandhya beta go and get ready. We all will go out for dinner. " Mom said to her and she nodded and went to her room to get ready.

I was feeling awkward sitting with mom and aunty as they were talking about some rituals.

" Aunty, can I go to Bhabhi's room? "

" Yeah of course beta, it's the first room on the first floor," she said and they got engrossed in discussing the arrangements.

I went upstairs. There were two rooms in front of each other. Which one was Bhabhi's?

I knocked on the first door, but there was no response from inside. I thought that maybe bhabhi was in the washroom so I went inside.

There was no one in the room. I went inside and waited for two minutes and then I realised that it didn't look like a girl's room. All the decorations and the colour scheme were telling me that it belonged to a man.

Shit !! I was in the wrong room.

Vidhi's POV

There was no one in the room. I went inside and waited for two minutes and then I realised that it didn't look like a girl's room. All the decorations and the colour scheme were telling me that it belonged to a man.

Shit !! I was in the wrong room.

I hurriedly moved to get out of the room as soon as possible.  But the pencil heel of my footwear got tangled with the soft and furry grey coloured rug near the bed.

Just then the knob on the door twisted and someone was about to open the door. I panicked and forgot that my heel was stuck and I started walking.

And I lost my balance again and this time also two very strong arms held me tightly and saved me from kissing the floor.

I saw it was Shubh as I had guessed even before I looked at his handsome face.

His arms were still around me. He was shocked to see me at first. But now he was looking at me with amusement.

Oh no !!

What would he think about me?? That I am so clumsy... I keep bumping into walls, doors and people. And if nothing is around I can fall even due to a mere rug... Ugghh.

He was Looking into my eyes continuously. I was also lost in the depth of his eyes. His gaze shifted from my eyes to my lips and then again to my eyes. I was still in his arms in the same position. I was feeling some alien sensations in my body

" Hey!! What happened?? Are you ok?? What are you doing in my room?" he smirked at me.

" Yeah,  actually I thought it was Bhabhi's room. Aunty said first room on the first floor... So... I thought this was her room. Sorry. "

" Oh, it's ok... The room just opposite to this one belongs to her. "

" Yeah, once I came into the room, I realised that it didn't look like a girl's room. "

" Hmmm "

" Thanks... "

" For what??"

" For saving me from falling. " I said and he smiled.

" Welcome... I will always save you if you tend to fall when I am around.

" I am a bit clumsy... "

" Why do you wear such high heels?? I mean that day your foot got twisted. You almost fell and today also... " He said with a sweet smile.

Just then I realised that I was still standing in the circle of his arms. A pink colour started creeping on my face.

" I like wearing them... Thanks, Shubh... I think I am fine now. "

" Oh yes..." He said and released his grip on my body.

I rushed out of his room as fast as I could.

I knocked on the door of Bhabhi's room. She opened the door and smiled. She was ready and was looking very beautiful. We came downstairs, I could feel a pair of eyes on me. But I was too nervous to look at him.

Bhabhi came to our place with us. We all had a good time. I went to take bath before dinner.

Once I came back to where everyone was I saw that bhabhi was not there.

" Where is bhabhi, mom? "

"  She had gone to give tea to Vikram. Go and call them."

I went to call them and walked into bhai's room casually.

" Bhai are you ready? Mom is cal... Oh !! I am sorry, I didn't know... Sorry... But I didn't see anything. " I said turning my back towards them and closing my eyes.

I was a bit embarrassed as Bhai was kissing bhabhi. I heard that Bhai cursed under his breath.

" Don't you know that you must knock the door... " He was glaring at me.

" I would have done that... If you had thought of shutting the door... Don't you know, you have doors... ? " I retorted.

" Just shut up ok ??? "

" Ok,  I am going. Come, Sandhya Bhabhi, mom is calling you as well. " I caught her hand and pulled her out of the room. She was blushing profusely. I smiled at her and took her to my room.

" Oh !! I am sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything. " She was saying.

" No Vidhi, it is ok... It's just... We were not... I mean, he was just... "

" Oh c'mon bhabhi, That's alright. You both are engaged. It is ok, I won't judge you for this. " She was blushing so badly. She was so cute.

" You know, It is not his fault. You are looking so pretty. That even I would have wanted to kiss you if I was a man. My poor brother could not control himself. "  She smiled shyly at my words.

I combed her hair and applied some lip colour on her lips and then we went where mom was waiting for all of us.

Dad asked Bhai to take another car too as he would have to drop her back at her home too.

" Ok, dad... " He smiled.

Mom told bhabhi to come with Bhai... She walked towards him slowly. I also started walking towards them and Bhai glared at me... But I ignored him.

" Vidhi can you please come with mom and dad... " Bhai smiled and asked but I know him better than this.

" But I want to come with my dear brother and would-be sister-in-law." I smiled, teasing him. 

" Vidhi, My sweet, little sister... Please go with them. " He said very sweetly but I  did not pay any heed.

" But Bhai, I always live with them. I need to spend some of my time with you and bhabhi." I said, smirking.

He glared at me and I laughed and said, " Ok, I will let you go on one condition. You will take me shopping and let me buy everything I want. " I was smiling mischievously.

" Yeah, Ok we will go... " He said and I  smiled and went with my parents

We all reached the restaurant and enjoyed the awesome food there. She was a bit shy but was very comfortable with us. She was sitting on the chair next to Bhai. Whenever my mom or I teased them, she blushed even harder.

We finished our Dinner.  We had become very comfortable with each other. Bhai went to drop her while we came back home.

*******

It was a morning mom and dad had already left and only Bhai and I were here.

I was planning to fix some cucumber sandwiches for us as I didn't know much of the cooking and the maid who cooked for Bhai had not come yet.

Just then bhai's phone started ringing.

He picked up the phone.

It was Padma aunty. She wanted to invite us for the dinner. Bhai was happy to get another chance to be with bhabhi.

" Vidhi, aunty is asking if you would like to go shopping with them? "

" Bhai?? I would love to... You know me. How can I say no to shopping? "

Bhai told them that I would love to go. We went there, had breakfast with them. we all had amazing Aalo ki sabzi with Poori and after that, they drove to the hospital.

Aunty and Shubh's mom were working in the kitchen and I thought that I should also help them. So I asked if I could help but they refused politely. A

I insisted that I wanted to help. Aunty smiled and asked me to get everything from the table so that they could wind up everything before they could go shopping.

I went to the dining table and was getting the sabzi when my phone started ringing. And when I looked at it to see who was calling. The bowl got tilted and a few drops of curry got splashed on my dress.

Oh, God !! How clumsy of me. What would aunty think?? That I can't even bring a bowl from dining table to kitchen.

I went to the kitchen and kept the bowl in the kitchen. I tried to wash off the stain.

Aunty saw it and felt bad that my dress got ruined. She said, " Vidhi beta, go to Sandhya's room and change into any dress of her. Then relax there, while we all get ready. "  I nodded and went upstairs to her room.

My eyes were looking for a certain someone. I waited outside her room and looked towards Shubh's room. It was closed. He was not with us while we had our breakfast. Where was he??

I shrugged and went inside her room, looked for a dress in her wardrobe and changed into jeans and Kurti.

I was planning to go downstairs and reached the staircase,  but then thought against it and came back to her room. I didn't feel like sitting there in the living room, while they were busy.

I sat down on her bed and switched on the music on my phone and put earphones in my ear.
