Mahi's POV

I came back and saw that Roshni was back. I looked at Bhai he was trying to look happy as his friends were talking to him again after that night in Surat, but he looked upset.

What was wrong with everyone?

I went to join Roshni she was surrounded by all the boys in our family group and though Roshni was very young, she looked absolutely normal, around those casanovas and playboys.

Vihan, Ruhan, Sahaj, and Mohak came to us and started flirting with her.

Mohak said something and she smiled shyly looking so beautiful that if I was a man, I could not have taken my eyes off her.

They all asked us to dance, and she agreed and danced with all of them, while I was reluctant.

I was thinking as to why was everyone interested in her all of a sudden, maybe because she was not a part of our group by blood relation.  Her father or brothers were not here to warn those men away. 

The dance was about to be over, she finished dancing with Sahaj and came back to me. Just then I saw Ron coming to ask. He smiled at me and extended his hand in front of him, before I could refuse his offer, he asked Roshni to dance with him.

What??

Fine!! Of course!! Why would he leave a chance to flirt with a girl?  He knows very well that there is a chance, I would not agree to dance with him.

So why should he face the humiliation?

It is actually good that he didn't even ask me.

Roshni accepted gracefully and even smiled at him before going back to dance with him.

Vihan asked me to dance and I accepted though my mood was spoilt somehow, but I wanted to enjoy dancing. Vihan was a fabulous dancer and considered as king of hearts being a young and handsome cardiologist. Mihir glared at Vihan and he nodded.

" Your brother is glaring at me. What is wrong with all of them? I just want to dance with a pretty girl like you. "  He said shaking his head.

" Well, he is your best friend and is well aware of your reputation as a playboy. "  I replied with a smile.

" Touché!! "  He laughed and I joined him.

"Are you not protective towards  your sisters??" I asked.

" I don't have to be, Vidya is a loner, she doesn't like to party much and Shuddhi is not here in India and as it is she does what she likes. I respect their privacy but I will not hesitate to kill anyone for them."  He said.

" See, you are just like them. "  I said and we both laughed. I looked at Ranveer and Roshni, they were talking about something. He said something and she rolled her eyes and came back with her witty comment and he threw his head back and laughed.

His looks were very pleasing to the eyes but very hard on the hearts of girls and he was known for breaking hearts.

I swear, the government should ban him to smile and laugh. As he looks even better when he does that.

Shut up!! Don't go there! I scolded myself.

He turned to look at me and smiled.

Ughh!! I looked away immediately. I didn't want him to smile at me. I hated him.

Once the dance finished, Mohak asked Roshni and Sahaj asked me to dance and before I could say anything, Ron came to us and caught hold of my hand though I was going to place it on Sahaj's outstretched hand.

" Excuse me!! "  Sahaj said to him.

" Excused, this time! Don't do it again. " He said. I glared at him but he pulled me with him.

" Leave me, I was going to dance with Sahaj. "  I said.

" I asked you first. " He said.

" You didn't even bother to ask, leave me, Sahaj asked me. "  I glared at him.

" Doesn't matter, you will dance with me. "  He said with a smile.

Oh, God! Tell him not to smile at me or I will break his teeth some day.

" I don't want to. "

" May I know why?? "  He asked.

" Isn't that obvious? Okay, I will spell it out for you. Well, you are too old for me. " I said. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and took a deep breath.

" What was Vihan saying to you?" He asked. 

" Why? How does that matter to you? "  I said.

" Tell me!"  He pressed my hand.

" Leave me! "

" Mahi, please tell me. Why were you both smiling? "  He asked desperately as if it mattered to him.

" Why do you think, I will tell you? Did I ask you, what were you and Roshni talking about? "  I asked.

" So you did notice? "  He smiled sarcastically.

" I happened to see you while dancing when Vihan turned me in his arms. Otherwise, I would not have looked at you, I was enjoying my dance. He is such a sweet man. "  I said. He shook his head a little.

" Sweet man?? He changes girls like shirts. "

" Well, he is my brother's friend, treats me very well, unlike others. "

" Mahi, stop it. "

" You started it. Why do you care what was I talking about with Vihan. I am not asking you. "

" Ask me nicely as to what was I talking about with Roshni, and I will tell you. "  He said.

" Get lost!! " I replied.

" Let's do it together.  "  He retorted.

" Your pickup lines are not going to work on me. "  I said.

" Then you suggest to me what would work. "  He asked immediately.  And pulled me a bit closer to him. I could feel his arms against my back. My treacherous body started reacting.

" Nothing, not in this lifetime at least. " I replied.

"  Are you sure?? Let's see... I like the challenges. But stay away from Vihan and Sahaj. They are playboys, not good for you. "  He said. I looked at the serious expression on his face and I burst out laughing.

" What was so amusing in what I said? "  He asked.

" Look who is talking... The pot is calling the kettle black. Vihan, Sahaj and Mohak are playboys??  Look who is talking? You are their senior. "  I laughed.

" I like it when you laugh like this, by throwing your head back. Please, don't do it in front of others. "  He said.

" Why?? "

" Someone might want to do what I want to do right now. And I won't be able to bear it. " He said looking at me weirdly with his eyes absolutely dark.

" What do you mean? " I asked.

" I will tell you when the time comes. It is too early, and I am a bit busy. "  He closed his eyes for a few seconds as if he was fighting for some control.

Busy?? Doing what? Playing with girls' hearts and emotions??

Bloody casanova!!

" That time will never come... " I said and got myself out of his arms.

Just then Mihir Bhai also came towards me.

" Ron, just stay away from her. " He said.

" As if you follow the rules, Don't you dare to go anywhere near my sister, Roohi? If I can't talk to your sister you can't talk to mine as well. "  He glared back at Mihir.

"Shut up both of you. It's Manik bhai's special day, don't fight like that. "  I glared at both of them. 

" What does he think of himself?? How can he dance with you, when he has a problem if I even talk to Roohi? Bloody Hippocrates! "  Mihir said.

" Fair enough!! Mr. Ranveer Kapoor, the dance is over. Please go and join my older brother. And since you had a dance with me you can't stop him from having a dance with your sister. " I said to Ranveer but he was still glaring at Mihir.

" And, Mihir Bhai, I can take care of myself,  go and enjoy your dance with Roohi. " I said, he nodded and went away.

" Why should I allow him to dance with my sister? " Ron asked.

" At least, he is a decent man, well educated, well settled, a doctor like your sister, and they are friends.  If he can't talk to your sister then why do you think a certified playboy like you can dance with me and my brothers would not object to that? Tell me something, Mr. Ranveer Kapoor, what are you without your parents' support? You are just enjoying the money they earned  and spoiling them on girls who are with you just because of your good looks and wealth. " I said and went away before he could say anything.

Shit!!

I was blunt with him, maybe, I said more than I intended to say. He kept standing where he was. I felt bad for being so blunt and saying things that could hurt anyone.

He turned and got out of the party and left shortly after that. I felt bad but then shook my head and thought of enjoying the party.

He is getting what he deserves. One has to reap what he sows.

Thanks for your warm birthday wishes and your enthusiasm.

Here is the second chapter of my book. I hope you like it. Please let me know.

I know that you have read some of the coming scenes but I told you what was going on in Manik and Raj's life. Now it is about  Ron and Mahi.

So all those scenes where Ron is involved are important to understand his character in his book.

Thanks
Chhavi ❤️😍😍
