12 Chapter 12

Maurvi's POV

I got ready for the party and was waiting for him. The doorbell rang and I opened the door. He was standing there with a bright smile on his face. Oh no, my heart was beating so loudly that I feared that he might hear it.

He was looking at me with a different kind of expression. I smiled at him.

" You are looking very beautiful. "

" You are also looking very good." I said with a smile and we slipped into his car.

He was about to start the car when I gave him a gift. He looked at it and shook his head.

' You didn't have to get one for me as you already gave me a gift by making my day special."

" Take it please. It is nothing much. "

He took it and opened it. It was a collection of DVDs of his favourite movies.

" Wow! Thanks, I am keeping them on one condition that you would have to watch them with me. "

" I don't like action movies but I may try others'. He smiled and started the car and a soft old song filled the car. "

We reached there and waited for everyone. I saw a very handsome man coming towards us. He came towards us. He hugged and wished Gautam.

Gautam introduced us.

"Maurvi please meet my best friend Vikram. And Vikram she is Maurvi, My... girlfriend." He said smiling at her.

" Hello !! Nice to meet you Maurvi. " I smiled at him and said hello.

" So when did this happen?? I mean he is your boyfriend? How did that happen all of a sudden?"

" Well you better ask this from him... I was shocked as well. " I laughed and that was not a lie.

" You are exactly like my younger sister, Vidhi. "

" Wow that is great. So you can treat me as if I am her and I found an older brother in you." I smiled lovingly at him. He nodded and hugged me.

" But as an older brother, I must say your choice is weird. I mean you chose him??? " He said and I burst out laughing. He seemed to be very nice. I was very comfortable around him.

People started coming and Gautam kept introducing me. I kept making polite conversation, but it seemed that Vikram bhai was looking for someone.

Just then I saw Sandhya entering the door. What was she doing here? She was my senior and a very good friend.

I lost touch with her once she passed the college. She came towards us. She nodded at Vikram and shaked hands with Gautam and wished him happy birthday and gave him a birthday gift.

" Thanks for coming beautiful, I really enjoyed the food made by you yesterday, You are amazing." He was saying and was still holding her hand. I was feeling a bit bad.

Leave it Gautam. If you want to hold any hand, hold mine.

Vikram whispered to me, " Hey , What kind of girlfriend are you. Your boyfriend is holding another girl's hand. I mean I am just concerned about you. You must mend his ways." I giggled at that as now I understood that he was rowing on the same boat, and shook my head.

" You are concerned about me or getting possessive over her? I can see how your eyes were looking for someone till she came. And since she came your eyes are following every move of hers. You have eyes only for her. You like her, Don't you?? " I whispered back. He was shocked and his jaw dropped to the ground...he was thinking how do I know?? I just winked at him.

" Hi Sandhya, nice to see you. I hope you remember me. " Gautam and Vikram looked at each other with confusion.

" Hi Maurvi, Of course I remember you. We share so many interests. Moreover we participated in many things together. Not to forget our passion for cooking food.So how is college?" She hugged me and said.

" As good as you left it.... Well I am planning to join the college as a lecturer once this year is completed. I will have to do an internship for two months at an hospital too. So that I can have two options for my career.."

" Hello girls we are also here. Well, you already know each other. So I guess, only one introduction is left. Sandhya, meet my girlfriend, Maurvi. " Gautam placed his hand on my shoulder and I raised one of her eyebrows at him. He just smiled devilishly. I hit him in the ribs with my elbow.

He was taking too much liberty when people were around. It is just an act but my poor heart will fall for him. I have to be strong.

Sandhya was smiling at us. Then she saw her friends and went to meet them.

" Hey how do you know her? " Gautam asked me.

" She was my senior in college and we represented our college as a team in various competitions. She is a fabulous girl. I learnt many good things from her. "

A good looking girl and a handsome man were coming towards us. They came and wished him. Gautam introduced me to them. They were his colleagues.

She started flirting with Vikram, who had gone to get something to drink. He gave a fake smile and let her flirt.. She even caught his hand in her's and was standing very close to him. I saw him looking at Sandhya as if wanted to see if Sandhya was getting uncomfortable because of that. But got very disappointed when, she remained unaffected... He excused himself from Aditi and came towards me.

" So you were trying the oldest way to see if she has feelings for you or not..... By making her jealous of another girl by being extra nice with another girl. " He looked at me with shock.

" Can you read minds? How did you.. "

" Leave that for now.... Let me tell you one thing..... Like all the boys are not alike...... Every girl has different ways."

" What do you mean?"

" What if she thinks ... that you are interested in some one else and she gets attracted to another one, who might seem interested in her. " I said pointing towards a cute and handsome guy talking to her. Vikram made a face.

I saw that Aditi was flirting with Gautam now and he was getting annoyed with her. He was calling me. But I kept smiling at him. He wanted me to play the game again and rescue him from her. He was pleading with his eyes.

I told him with sign language that they were looking good together. He glared but I didn't go to him but then he made puppy eyes.

" Then how should I check if she likes me or not? " Vikram asked and I smiled.

" Will tell you once I solve his problem." I went towards Gautam where Aditi was standing next to him holding his hand.

" Hi, hey handsome don't you think you are holding the wrong hand. You should be holding my hand since I am your girlfriend. " I said with a fake anger. He was shocked.

" No sweetheart I am not holding her hand she was holding mine. " He said.

" Yes, why not?? A few days back you had enough strength to release my hand from the vice-like grip of Naman who is more than 6 feet tall and weighs around 80 kg. But today you can't even release your hand from the girls grip who is merely 5'4" and not more 50 kg in weight? " I said sarcastically in an angry tone. He was looking at me as if I have two heads.

" Dr. Aditi, if you don't mind, would you please leave his hand. As you must have heard that he is my boyfriend and I am not feeling very good to see you holding his hand. " I smiled at her but looked at her in a way as if I was daring her to keep touching his hand.

She released his hand as if it was a red hot object.

" Oh thanks, I am glad you did that. You would not have liked to mess with me. In future also just stay away." I smiled wickedly. She excused herself and moved hurriedly.
