15 Chapter 15

Megha's POV

I was shocked with what happened just now... They threw water over eachother?? It was comical but ...

Mehul was annoyed and he went to the washroom.

As soon as he left the room, bhaiya and bhabhi smiled and bhabhi hugged bhaiya and said, " Sorry darling... I am really sorry. "

It would be an understatement if I say I was shocked. What does this mean?

Bhaiya left the room smiling. I was still wondering, what was going on, when bhabhi winked at me. I didn't understand anything so I was looking very confused.

Bhabhi hugged me and whispered, " He can't sleep on couch now... we drenched it. All the best, beautiful. " I was blushing profusely. I was sure I was looking like a beatroot.

I didn't know what to say or how to react, I couldn't even look at her. She laughed at my reaction and left the room.

Did they fake that fight?? Oh my god !!

I was blushing so hard, they did it so that Mehul had to share the bed with me. I was embarrassed...

But at the same time, I blessed that I have such good people around me.

I was not sure how to react, when he came out of the washroom. He went to the couch to check it. It was too wet to be used. He cursed and I tried not to smile.

" It is ok, Mehul... It happens sometimes. You can sleep on bed, this is big enough for both of us. You can sleep on another side."

" I don't want to share bed with you. I don't want you anywhere near me. " He almost shouted.

I really got angry now, " I am not dying to share this bed with you either. I just offered because you can't sleep on couch. Do whatever you want. I don't care now, if you sleep on bed, couch or floor. And if you decide to sleep on this bed,

I assure you that you would be safe from me. I won't even think of touching you." I was so angry that I slipped between the sheets and turned my back towards him.

After a few minutes I felt that the mattress dipped a bit. But I was too tired and annoyed that I didn't react. I don't even know when I slipped into slumber.

*****

I opened my eyes as the light was falling on my face. It was time to wake up. I tried to get up from bed but couldn't move. I felt some weight on my waist. It was his arm which was holding me to bed. I tried to remove it but I couldn't. I tried again and this time he woke up.

He removed his arm immediately as soon as he realised that he was holding me. But the moment he tried to get up, I winced with pain as his front was touching my back while sleeping and my hair got stuck in the button of his night shirt. He stopped immediately and tried to detangle my hair from his buttons.

His body was very closed to me. I could even feel his hot breaths on my skin. I turned slowly which brought us even closer.

My heart was beating very fast. Slowly I tried to detangle my hair and finally I was free. He was watching me all the time.

" Why were you sleeping so close to me?? It is your fault. You should stay away from me. That is why I didn't want to sleep in this bed. Just stay away." He accused me of something I didn't even think about.

" What?? For your kind information, Mr Mehul Shah, I was sleeping on my side of bed. By the way, it was not me who was holding you, it was you who was holding me. What do you think of yourself?? You think that I am dying to touch you?? You are highly mistaken." I went to washroom stomping my feet. What is wrong with him ?

I got ready and went downstairs. I didn't want to be in the room with him.

Dad and bhaiya were ready and waiting for all of us. I greeted both of them. They both smiled at me. Mom came shortly and instructed maharaj ji to serve the breakfast. Mehul and bhabhi also came by the time breakfast was served. We all started having our breakfast but bhaiya and bhabhi was staring at Mehul and me.

Bhabhi asked, " So, did you sleep well last night? " I almost choked on my food. Mehul started glaring at bhaiya, but he was not bothered. In, fact he was enjoying his food.

" Come on kids, hurry up we have to go now."

Our bags were already loaded in cars and we went to airport. The flight was on time. We all reached Shah mansion in New Delhi. The house was very huge and beautiful. It had a very large open space around it. Though it was not used properly.

We all got down from our cars and walked towards the main door, but ma ji said, " Please wait here for 5 minutes Megha, as you are entering our this house for the first time. I want you to wait. I want to welcome you in this house properly."

She went inside and came out with a Pooja thali. She did a small pooja and then she put oil on both the sides of gate and then asked me to come inside.

" Come on mom, you did your rituals now please go and rest. Now here is the time for Western rituals... " Said bhaiya mischievously.

He picked up bhabhi in the bridal style and looked at Mehul and said,

" Husband has to carry his wife over the threshold. Come on what are you waiting for? It is so romantic... "

Mehul rolled his eyes and said, " She can walk by herself. Moreover, I am an Indian and have followed all the Indian rituals. I don't want to follow Western rituals as well. "

" Why don't you accept it my little brother that you are not strong enough to carry your wife. You need to spend more hours at gym. It is ok, Megha I guess you have to do it yourself. Your husband can't pick you up." He was smirking

Before I could even take a step, he picked me up in the same way as bhaiya was carrying bhabhi. My hands went around his neck automatically and he took me over the threshold.

Though I was a bit angry with Mehul but I was blushing very hard. I could feel his muscles beneath my hands. Bhaiya was smiling now.

" You are not the only one who is strong bhai. I spend hours in gym, I am very fit. Ok ?? Don't dare me again." He was annoyed.

" Ok Mr. Strong, I got the point. Now show her your room."

We went to our room. It was a large room with big windows. And a very nice balcony. But it looked a bit empty. There was a walk in closet and another big dressing room with 2 wardrobes. There was ample space for my stuff as well. But it was not well organised and very plain.

" You can keep your stuff here." he said and went outside.

Servants came with our luggage. I opened my bag and started arranging my stuff.

I arranged his stuff too. His wardrobe had much more space now. I did the same with walk in closet and kept some of my dresses there.

I went downstairs, maji and bhabhi were sitting there having some tea. I also joined them.

" Beta, if you need anything please let us know. If you want to do anything with your room or if you want another wardrobe please feel free to that. "

Ma ji said to me and I nodded.

All the men had already left for office.

Ma ji was also tired so she went to her room leaving bhabhi and me alone.

She asked me with a smile, " So how was your last night. " She even raised her eyebrows.

I started getting red, she was laughing now. "I know he was irritated, so what happened afterwards? "

Though I was hesitant to tell her what happened between us... but she was family and was trying her level best to make things normal in my life. I told her everything.

" Mehul is such a nice and genuine person, I don't know why is he behaving in such a manner. He is being very stubborn. Mudit thinks that he is behaving like this as he was forced to marry. But you need not to worry, Mudit has a solution for every problem. He knows how to pull all the strings. We all are with you Megha. " Bhabhi said holding my hand. I smiled and hugged her.
