Mohit's POV

" Viraj was right, you may get a competitor in the family only. Take care, old man... " She said and winked at me.

" You are older than me, you very old woman. "

" I would never be old... It's all a state of mind. Ok now go, see that you have packed all your stuff, take some rest especially you, old man. " She smiled and added the old man in a lower voice.

" Get lost... Don't you have any work?? " I asked her.

" Teasing you has always been at the top of my priority list. Now that you just got married. I am enjoying myself teasing both of you. I am amazed at how god paired such a shameless man like you with a girl like her. I just have to say a simple line and she starts blushing. Amazing girl."

" Yeah... She is amazing. " I said and she smiled.

Maya and Viraj kept teasing me and told us to get a honeymoon baby for the family.

Oh, God !! Earlier they wanted me to get married, now they want a baby, that too so soon.

I looked at her from the corner of my eyes. Her face resembled a strawberry. How cute can she be?? And how does she blush so much??

" No way, I want to have her to myself for quite a few years. I want her attention only to me. " I said placing my arm around her shoulders. Everyone smiled, they looked so pleased.

We packed our bags to leave for the honeymoon.

I was happy too, wanted to spend time with the sweet and innocent Srusti. We both left for our honeymoon...

Srusti's POV
After about 4 months

It has been a little more than 3 months since we came back from our honeymoon. Though I would not call it a honeymoon, it was just a very good vacation with my... friend?

I mean, it was a very good vacation. I had never gone out of India. So Mohit made it a point that I enjoyed it to the fullest.

He was a great friend and companion. I enjoyed every minute of the trip.

I was trying to keep in mind that we were just friends but I was falling in love with him with every passing minute. He was such a kind and sweet person that anyone could fall for him. He made me feel like a princess.

We must have explored every part of Paris and Switzerland. He made sure that I enjoyed every minute of the trip.

But we had to click some very romantic pictures of us to send to his family as they were reminding us, again and again, to send them almost every day. 

We both used to get a bit uneasy after that but we had to keep up the pretence.

They were very happy for us and we were happy too. We were sharing the room in the hotel like a normal couple.   But in reality, we were like friends. I caught him ogling at me many times. But if I looked at him, he would immediately take his eyes from me.

There were times, when we were happy and enjoying each other's company and all of a sudden he would come very close to me, setting my heart on fire and then he would get sad or get dejected making me feel the same.

What was bothering him?? Was he missing her?? Though it didn't look like it, was he still in love with her?

But I felt that something was bothering him. What was it?? I asked him many times but he just smiled and shook his head denying any such thing.

For the whole trip, he was in a strange mood, very happy and carefree sometimes and cautious and tense other times.

But he behaved in a bit weird way, whenever we had to click those romantic pictures. He would click them and then would excuse himself away from me.  I loved the way he used to hold me with so much love and emotions, I looked into his eyes and they always mirrored those emotions. And I hated the way, he would get away from me the very next moment, as fast as he could just after clicking those pictures.

Nevertheless, he took care of me as anything.

He met a few friends of his at the airport in Paris when we were coming back.  They all greeted each other, they looked at me with curiosity. And then Mohit said that I was a fellow designer who also attended a fashion show and a workshop in Paris.

Fellow designer??

I just said a polite hello to them, they were looking at me with some key nd of interest, so I excused myself and went into a shop while he talked to them.

I was a bit disappointed at what he said. But I could not complain as he had always said that I would be his wife in presence of his family only.

So, I think that finally, I was not married to him. But I felt very bad after that thought. 

Once we were alone, he looked a bit uncomfortable and said, " I am sorry for saying that but I can't tell them that we were married. Please it is a request, don't tell anyone about us getting married till I say it was ok to tell. " He looked tense so I just nodded and started listening to the music with the headphones.

I wanted to know what was so special about her, that even though she got married, he can't move on in his life.
What was wrong with me?? Why can't he forgive her?? Did being happy with me at times, brother him?? I was still confused, what was that between us?? 

I didn't even know what he thought about me.

Once we came back, he said that he has a lot of workloads and he started working like a maniac. Sometimes he even used to stay at his studio apartments. I was worried about his health but he said that he had to work for the Lakme fashion week. He was working too hard.

I tried to make him understand but he paid no heed to it. He stayed at his studio for very long hours and was coming home being very tired.

Even maa and Maya di tried to make him understand to take things easy but he was still working hard.

I was getting bored as now staying at home for the whole day was bothering me. I asked Mohit if I could do some job?

He asked me why I wanted to do a job?? Did I need more money?? And I said it was not about money,  I was getting bored as there was not much for me to do besides cooking for him.

He said that it was my life, it should be my decision and as it is he had suggested that I could live my life the way I wanted. But it seemed that he was not comfortable with me doing a job somewhere else.

So I had dropped the idea for the time being. As it is, I wanted to do a random job to fill my time as I was getting the salary from Mohit.  I didn't need much money as I was already living here and had so much stuff now that I didn't have to buy anything for years now.

He was depositing my salary directly to an account but I did not even touch it. He had already given me a credit card and I had used it just once to buy groceries only.

I used to visit his parents home to meet Maa and Dadi. Maya di also visited me quite a few times.

Maa even started hinting at me about starting a family. She even mentioned it to Mohit. But he said he didn't want any kids, he said that he wanted me for himself for a few years and he also said that I was too young to have kids.

Maa was trying to persuade me to think about having kids now. She even showed me a lot of pictures of Mohit, when he was just born and then a cute and chubby toddler. I just wanted to kiss that Mohit. He was such a good looking child just like a baby model.

Even Maya di suggested to me that I should tell Mohit that I wanted to start a family.

I didn't even know what to say to them??  So slowly I reduced my frequency of going to their place. I started playing the piano and started practising my singing. Every day I prepared breakfast and lunch for Mohit and after he used to leave for his work, I would start practising and polishing my singing skills.

One such day, I sang the song soona soona lamha lamha...
