Chapter 11

Vidhi's POV

We had lots of fun buying stuff. We bought both westerns and traditional dresses. We were almost same in size, bhabhi was a bit taller than me. Shubh was losing his patience.. as we tried almost all traditional dresses.

Bhabhi bought 5 traditional Indian dresses, 4 western formal dresses and some casuals.

I kept teasing her, telling how she looked in a dress or how my brother is going to react after seeing her in various dresses. I got 4 traditional, 5 formal western dresses and some casuals. I asked bhabhi and even Shubh, which ones I should buy. Bhabhi helped me. Shubh didn't say much.

What was his problem?? Why couldn't he tell me what to buy??

We even made Shubh try many designer Indian wears which he would have to wear during the wedding functions. He was looking very handsome in all of them. I would have bought all of them but he would have given me another lecture.

He bought 3 of those, One black suit, a few shirts and trousers, and some casual jeans, and T-shirts.

Bhabhi bought one formal shirt and one designer kurta pyjama for Bhai when Shubh was changing clothes. She was feeling shy but wanted to buy it for him. I helped her chose them. We got them packed.

Next, we bought many pair of shoes. Shubh raised an eyebrow and smirked at me when I was selecting shoes, I just glared at him.

" I think you should buy some footwear without heels also. Have mercy on your feet. " He whispered to me. He pointed towards a cute pair.

I would not have taken them, but as he suggested something for the first time, I bought them, as it is, they were really cute.

Then we bought bags, lots and lots of accessories and makeup. I bought a few perfumes. I asked bhabhi which one shall I buy. She bought some things for Bhai and shubh as well. We were so tired that we decided to eat and relax in the mall only. So we went to have lunch in the food court itself.

Shubh got very quiet all of a sudden, so bhabhi asked him, " What happened Shubh?? You are very quiet...what happened? "

He just shook his head. But he looked sad. I didn't know the reason but felt bad to see him like that.

" Nothing, I was just thinking that you have grown up. You are getting married in a month. Then you will go away. I am going to miss you." He said looking at her.

He was getting very emotional as while doing all the shopping he must have realised, that time for bhabhi to leave the house is just around the corner.

Bhabhi hugged him and he hugged her back. I also became very emotional.

" Hey don't worry we will find a beautiful girl for you and get you married to her. Then you will not miss me so much as she will distract you with her beauty, charm and love." She said to him and he smiled and shook his head.

I got a bit uneasy just by hearing that. Why??

" I am serious, Just tell me what kind of girl do you want? " Bhabhi said again.

I looked at him waiting for him to answer. Somehow I also wanted to know...

" I don't want to get married so soon. I am barely 25, I want to get absolutely independent first. I want to take dad's business to another height. " He said and we nodded at him.

But I was a bit disappointed. I wanted to know...

" Ok, now tell me what you both would like to eat I will get it for you." He asked and was looking at all the food joints.

We ordered many different dishes from various joints. Shubh went to take them. I went to help him and bhabhi waited at our table.

I picked up one of the orders to bring it to our table and turned but...

No !!!!

Something was lying on the floor and I tripped over it.

Shit !!!

A man was going from there carrying his food platter. I fell on him spilling the food from his platter on him.

I was scared that he would shout on me. I closed my eyes and said sorry. But he said it was ok, as it was just an accident. I was pleasantly surprised and smiled at him. I offered to buy a new platter and a shirt but he refused saying it was absolutely fine as accidents do happen...

Just then Shubh came there with another order from another joint, he made a weird face when he saw me talking to that man. he asked what happened and I told him.

He was glaring at the stranger. He caught my hand and led me to our table. That was so rude of him.

Bhabhi could see that I was a bit embarrassed and Shubh was annoyed.

" What happened? " She asked.

" N- nothing. " I said as Shubh looked annoyed.

Why the hell was he annoyed??

" What took you so long? " she asked again.

" I tripped on something and fell on someone. Spilling the contents of the food platter he was carrying. " I told her.

" Oh !!! Did he say anything? Did he get annoyed at you? I hope he was not rude. "

" Oh no, on the contrary, he was very sweet, cute and funny. He even said that he was happy to meet me even under such circumstances." I said with a smile.

Shubh looked so angry the moment I smiled.

" What was so funny and cute about him? I think that he was a maniac. He was grinning like a fool. " Said Shubh.

Seriously?? Maniac ?? Look who is talking.

" Why?? He was cute. Means It was my fault that his food got wasted. Right?? But he was absolutely calm, as cool as cucumber. "

I said looking at bhabhi, but he retorted.

" Cool as cucumber or as foolish as a calf? Which normal person, would smile, if his food platter lands on the floor spilling all the food on his shirt because someone tripped over something and landed on him? " Shubh looked very annoyed.

Why was he getting annoyed??

" So according to you, he should have shouted at me or scolded me for what I did accidentally? " I asked Shubh.

" Of course not, I would not have let him do any of that. But he behaved weirdly, as he got the chance to flirt with you. " He said looking at me.

" He was not flirting. He was just being friendly. "

" Of course he was. I would have punched him if he had said another word." Shubh said.

Why was he behaving like that?? Was he crazy?? I found that man sweet.

" Excuse me, can I join you? " We heard a voice and we turned to find the same man standing there with a very big smile on his face.

Oh, Shit !!! No !! God, please save him.

Shubh's POV

Excuse me... can I join you? " We heard a voice and we turned to find that irritating man standing there with a very big smile on his face.

Now I will break all his teeth, then I will see how he would smile at her. How dare he?? Why was he after Vidhi ??

" What? Why? " I was irritated. Sandy touched my arm telling me to calm down silently.

But I was annoyed to see that silly grin on that man's face.

" Oh !! Just like that. You see, I thought we could be Fri... " the man was saying hesitantly but I stopped him in mid-sentence.

" I don't care, what you thought, but you can't sit here. " I said and the man looked at Vidhi with that irritating smile. she just shrugged.

" But I think I have seen you somewhere... " He said to Vidhi.

This is going too far... But even I felt that I had seen him somewhere.

" Ha ha ha... Very old line... In fact, the oldest line to approach a girl... Leave before I change the geography of your face. " I said biting every word as I was extremely irritated.

He was again looking at her. How dare he ?? I glared at him.

" Ok fine... But no need to be rude man, I am going. Bye, beautiful... " He called Vidhi as beautiful??

Wait, I will tell you how beautiful she is... You would not call anyone as beautiful after that. Not even your own wife...

She was saying that he was not flirting... How ignorant can she be?? Any duffer could see that he was flirting.

Then he looked at Sandy and said with a smile, " Oh hi !! By the way, I am... "

This is too much. How dare he talk to Sandy? Now he is gone.

" We are not interested. Please leave... " I got up from my seat and glared at him. I was ready to push him away now.

He just smiled and raised both hands and left after giving a smile to Sandy and winking at Vidhi.

What was that?? I wanted to stop him and punch him hard right on his nose. But Sandy caught my hand and made me sit.

" Oh I am sure now, he is seriously a maniac. He doesn't know about my brother. Well, thank God he is gone." Sandy said with a laugh.
