Srusti's POV

" But, I don't want to use your money as well. "

"  You don't want to buy anything, but have to because of me and my family. So, I need to bear the cost. "

" But, if I would be using all this,  I can't let you pay for this. "

" Don't be difficult dear, why would you use your money on all this stuff?"

" I don't want you to spend money on me. As it is, I feel very guilty that I am cheating them. They love me like their own daughter. "

" Srusti, how many times, do I have to tell you that you are not cheating them, I am. The price of all these things is nothing compared to the price, I would have to bear if I don't cheat them. You are just helping me in keeping them alive and healthy. I am sure you care for them too. So, I would pay for all of them. And no more discussion on this topic. "

" Mohit Ji... " I tried telling him how I felt.

" No Ji... Only Mohit. Now cheer up my mom would be curious to know, what we are doing right now. So please smile. " He said with a broad smile and I tried to hide my blush and smiled.

" A little more or she will think that I am not treating you well. Daadi will pull my ears out. Remember we are in love... "  He said and opened the door to go out, I followed him.

Maa was standing outside quite near the door with a naughty smile on her face.

" What is going on, Mohit?? What were you doing in her room? You are not married yet... Wait for a week at least. "

Oh, God!! What was she thinking...

" Mom !!! I was just... I needed to talk to her. "

" Just talk?? Hmm?? Ok, but with your door shut? " She said and then burst out laughing. My face was getting red. She said and Mohit looked at me and winked at me discreetly.

Oh no... My heartbeat increased, I am sure more colour must be creeping into my cheeks.

" Just look at her face, it has that telltale colour there. I mean, she is turning red with every passing second. It's ok, I am very happy for both of you. " She said and Mohit started grinning like anything.

" I must go and see if daadi Ji needs anything. " I said and started getting away from there but maa caught my hand.

" Oh, God !! You are so cute... But there is nothing to get embarrassed beta... I understand that you both are in love. Stand here beside him. I want to see you both together. "

" Mum !! "

" Do what I said... " She said and made me stand next to him.

" What Mum?? "

" Stand like a normal couple, not like you both have been scolded to do so. I want to have a  picture of both of you on my phone. " She said.

Mohit placed his arm around my waist and pulled me nearer to him. He was smiling sweetly at me. My heartbeat increased even more.

" Smile beta... " Maa said and I smiled shyly. She clicked a few pictures in different poses.

" Doesn't she look, extremely beautiful when she smiles shyly? " She said and Mohit looked at me weirdly.

" Mohit?? " Maa said as he was still looking at me with that same expression.

" Hm?? Yeah... Mom, I need to go... "

" Come for lunch... "

" I will be busy for the next few days, so I would not be able to come. You know, how I work. So, don't worry about me.  "  He hugged his mom and said.

" What are you doing?? Why do you work so much?? "

" Mom, I love my work, now that Manu is also not here, I have to work with a new person. I can't trust him... I will try to come for dinner if I will be free on time. But if I can't, send me food, if it is possible. " He said looking at me while saying the last line.

" Mohit, it is not healthy to work so much, at least spend some time with Srusti. "

" We have to spend the whole life together mom, it's ok, she understands me and my situation... Don't you my angel??  " He asked suddenly.

" Yeah... It's ok, I understand. But take care of yourself too. "

" I will, love. " He hugged me lightly and kissed on my head and left abruptly to say bye to daadi.

What happened to him all of a sudden?

Mohit's POV

I came out of my parents home and went to my studio. I don't know why, but I was feeling a bit uneasy. But why?? I was normal there after I listened to that beautiful song in that mesmerizing voice ... But all of a sudden, I felt that I must leave immediately.

I was feeling irritated and frustrated... Though I had found a perfect solution to my problem still I felt that it was not right. On top of that, Srusti kept saying that she was feeling guilty about cheating my parents.

But what other option, I had? I could not tell my parents about my relationship with Robin.

Robin was very busy, he didn't have time for me. I wanted to tell him that I would have a wife on paper. Now my parents won't pester me to get married. But at the same time, I was apprehensive as Robin was very impulsive and was possessive about me.

I had never been too possessive about him. I knew, he also had other lovers like me. I was very clear about it that we were not going exclusive. But still, at times Robin behaved as if I was answerable to him. I was confused about our relationship.

I didn't know what was happening, he was possessive about me but still, he was practically living in Mumbai for quite a long time. Hence there was a strain on our relationship. It was difficult to maintain this long-distance relationship.  We could not live like a normal couple because of my family. He wanted me to tell them and I could not.

I was feeling guilty that I was hiding things from both my parents and Robin, but that was best.

Robin seemed quite indifferent to my problems which irritated me even more. Couldn't he feel my pain?? He was adamant that I tell everything toy parents. But I couldn't, not after I saw that just a mention of me being interested in other men, gave so much pain to my family.

I almost lost my mom and dadi. I would lose my family if I ever let them know. I can't lose my family, I loved all of them.

I found a solution to my problems in that sweet angel, Srusti. But still, I was uneasy and so was Srusti.

She was blushing like a real would-be bride. But why?? Was she such a good actress?? My mom was convinced that we were romantically involved with each other.

She turns red whenever I touch her. Today when mom teased us about being in the room with doors shut, she was blushing as if we really did something in her room. Why?? Was she so naive and innocent?? But mom was right, she did look very pretty while blushing.

Shit!! Why was I thinking about it now?? She was playing her part nicely.

My family was really happy about me getting married to her.

Was she acting because I told her to behave like we were in love? Can anyone fake the blush ??

I realised that all I had to do was to be close to her or touch her and her face turned red.

But how?? Why??  Could it be possible that she...???

No !!! That is not possible... It would not be good for any of us.

It would complicate everything. I could not let that happen.

Oh, God !! Have mercy on me. I was going insane with everything that was happening to me.

I kept working to keep myself busy for the next three days. I didn't even go to my parent's place.
