Srusti's POV

I heard someone talking and my sleep got disturbed. I rubbed her eyes to finally open them.

Maya di and Viraj Ji were standing right in front of me. I got up abruptly.

" Good morning, Srusti !! " Maya said smirking at me, Viraj Ji was also trying to hide his smile.

" Good morning di !! How are you?? What happened?? You want something ?? "

" Yes... Explanation. Hurry up start now. " She said.

" Explanation of what?? "

" Yesterday you said that you can't come back because Mohit was not well. And I asked you to take care of him. Right ?? "

" Yeah..."

" Why did you tell a lie?? Did that useless brother of mine asked you to say that ??

" It was not a lie di... He didn't tell me to do anything, he was not well. "

" And you were taking care of him?? "

" Yeah !! "

" Like this?? You both are such naughty kids. Somehow I feel, my brother must have cooked it up all. I must say, it seemed you had an awesome and happening date. Now c'mon, get out of bed. " I was still confused and just then I saw him sitting there on the bed too.

What was he doing here??

But just then I realised that I was in his room. I had been sleeping on his bed...with him.

Oh, God!!

Oh, God !!

" No no no di... You are getting it wrong. I... He... No. He was not well. I was just helping him... '

" We just saw that. You certainly cured him very well. " She said and Viraj Ji burst out laughing and nodded like a young boy. Mohit rubbed the back of his neck.

" Di...no really. Mohit Ji... Tell them. "

" Mohit Ji ??? Ummm... tell us, Mohit Ji !!" Maya teased us. I was getting red with every passing second.

" Awww... Mohit Ji...  How cute and romantic !! Maya, you never call me Viraj Ji. " Viraj Ji said faking anger at Maya di. She just shrugged.

" Enough of your teasing. She is right. I had a terrible headache yesterday so she was pressing my head till the medicine started easing my pain.

" Oh is it?? It seemed to have worked well. You are such a naughty boy. "

" What?? I am not telling lies... "

" Ok, fine. Your secret is safe with me. Now get ready. Srusti you need to come with me. " Maya di said.

" Ji, but he was... "

" I know, I know... Come with me. " Di caught my hand and pulled me out.

She was still not convinced that her brother was really unwell. I prepared breakfast for all of us while di helped me a bit and teased a lot.

We all had breakfast and they took me away with them. Maa, papa and daadi were concerned about Mohit.

Maya di said, " Mom, daadi, what do I tell you, Viraj and I went there early morning to see how was he and we found out she was taking very good care of him. He was quite well and fresh in the morning. It was good that she stayed there. It helped him a lot. Isn't it Viraj? "

" Indeed. " He smiled.

Oh God !!!

" I would go and get ready, we have an appointment di. " I said and she winked at me.

I got ready and Maya di and I went out. She took me to her spa. " Welcome to my spa dear, you are going to get pampered today to make you more beautiful and much more relaxed. "

" Di this place is amazing... Awesome. "

" Thanks, dear, it was rated as the best place in the city with maximum facilities, where one can get any kind of spa or any beauty treatment available in India. "

" Wow, di !!"

" So as you are getting married the day after tomorrow, you are going to get relaxed and let them do there work. So no arguments I have already instructed them what is to be done just go with the flow. "

" What exactly do you mean by what is to be done?? "

" See, you are going to get your pre-bridal beauty treatment and then a long relaxing spa. So relax and don't panic. I am right here in my office. I would keep coming for checking on you. "

" At least tell me... "

" No a surprise gift for you and especially my cute little naughty brother. " She winked at me.

" Di, I don't think he would be too pleased to be termed like this. Yesterday he was not eating simple healthy food and I told him to eat that like a good boy. He gave me a good lecture that is was 29 years old and not some good boy. " I said and she burst out saying.

" He is going to be your husband Sweetheart he would not like to be called like that by you. C'mon, his ego would get bruised. But I am his older sister, I can do that to tease him. He is used to me calling him with all those kind of names. " She said and I nodded with a smile.

She told her manager to give me a complete pre-bridal beauty treatment.

It took practically the whole day and I was shocked at some of them and refused to take them but Maya was adamant that it was absolutely necessary. We both had lunch and then the treatment continued.

They gave me a stylish hair cut as well. I didn't want to cut my hair short so they styled it with trimming just the minimum length to give the desired effect while keeping my hair length intact. Though I was a little apprehensive, it looked very good on me.

After everything they could think of, they asked me to come to a relaxing spa. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

It was almost evening when everything was done. Di came and said that the treatment seemed to have done wonders on me.

" My brother is going to be crazy just by looking at you. But he is not going to see you till your wedding day and you are dressed as his bride.   " She said teasing me and I knew that I was blushing like anything.

" Oh, God !! You blush a lot, I am sure he goes crazy to see that beautiful colour on your cheeks. "

" Di... Please. "

" Ok, let's see, where is he? I don't want him to see you till your wedding. " She said and called him.

" Hi !! Where are you??.... Studio?? But you said you were free now?? ... Ok but don't overstress yourself. You are getting married day in 2 days and don't forget you had a migraine yesterday. You really had it or not??... Ok. Ok. Don't get annoyed. But don't work too hard or your pain will be back. And this time your Srusti would not be there to take care of you. Bye. Take care I don't want black circles under your eyes in your wedding pictures. " She said and disconnected the call.

" He is busy... Seems annoyed at something. Why does he have to work so hard? You need yo be strict with him. " She said and I smiled and nodded.

I went to change but I kept thinking about him. He looked upset since he met that man at the restaurant.

We came home. Maa and daadi complimented me on my new look. My skin and hair looked much better.

The next day Maa and dadi made sure to have a few pre Marriage rituals. They all applied Haldi to me and after I took the bath, a Heena artist applied a very elegant but intricate Mehandi on my hands and feet. 

Everyone looked happy while Mehandi was being applied to my hands. Maa and daadi were even getting emotional to see the rituals of our wedding. They told the artist to write Mohit's name on my hands.

It really made me a bit uncomfortable. I felt something I could not name, but I felt as if we were connected. His name was being written in my destiny not just my hand.
