Mihir's POV:

I saw Neiv Bhai going to his room angrily....but here Chaah Di was hurt too...

Aarya signalled me via her eyes to go to Neiv Bhai's room...

I went to his room...

While I saw he was sitting on the wing chair facing the window...while I saw Nikki was rubbing his shoulders...

I knew the situation here!

I slowly stepped in to the room while I looked at Nikki who just nodded her head and said not to talk anything as of now..

But I was worried for him.

I softly called 'Neiv Bhai'

'Leave Mihir!' is all I got as response...

'Bhai...we knew this would happen' I tried convincing him...

Next second he got up in a rage, his eyes went red in anger but before we could analyse banged his hand into a metal showpiece so hard that it lost its shape...the sharp edge hit his hand and it started bleeding badly...

While Nikki screamed...

'Nievy Boy....kya kar rahe ho (what are you doing)'

And next second I ran to look at his hand...

It was bleeding badly..

'Ill get my first aid box' I told Nikki...

'Arey wait...I'll get mine...' she said and got the first aid kit...

She cleaned him up and bandaged him.

'Im not supporting this if you loose your head another time! I didn't get into this to earn your girl's hatred...I want you both happy and together...' she said while picking on a injection and giving him a tetanus.

'Nikki is right Neiv Bhai...we all knew Di would react like this... infact we wanted her to do this...she is stubborn Bhai..she won't confess...she thinks everything will end up like her past! She doesn't believe in the institution of marriage...she thinks love is sham but she loves you!
Proof!!!
You saw her the way Di behaved few minutes back.
She danced like a crazy woman.
I have never seen Di that broke...a little more push and she will confess it!!! The only last engagement ceremony kiss thing and'

'Stop it Mihir... Enough!!! Enoughhhh'
He said and broke down crying like a little baby while Nikki pulled him into her chest and consoled him...

'Shhhh Neivy Boy....what is this...I know...I know you can't see her in pain...but you have to understand inorder to mould gold into a beautiful wedding ring it has to tolerate heat! '

'Then I don't want this marriage' he said..

To which Nikki slapped him once...
'Pagal he kya (Are you crazy?) For this sake you made me take a vacation, leave my job, dress me up straight like a lousy despo chick, made me act like I'm drowning in your love, leave my husband alone in that resort room when I'm bloody supposed to enjoy my long awaited vacation being the fact that Madan and me we both are doctors have agreed to help you out... and you are falling weak? You don't want her? Like really Neivy boy? Shame on you...if you weren't my buddy and classmate in school I swear I would have slapped you harder than Chaahat now!!!' she let out her frustration..

'She is right Bhai...how can you give up now..one more strike and'

'And Chaahat will break into something worse! I'm done Mihir! I'm out of this...Nikku... thanks for everything baby..I'm sorry for screwing up yours and Madan's quality time...you both are Mahir uncle and Dad's cardiologists plus my childhood friends...you both agreed to get into this because of Mihir being your colleague and Dad's request. But really I'm done..you enjoy your vacation please'  he said holding his head again..

'But Bhai...' I tried consoling him..

'I said I'm done Mihir... anything that hurts Chaahat... may it be my love for her...I don't want it! You guys are kids...I must have atleast used my bloody brains!!! ' he said rubbing his face...

'Neivy Boy...ok these are kids...but Dev uncle, Ishaani aunty, Mahir uncle, Bela aunty... everyone here ...are everybody mad tell me??? ' Nikki gave one last try

'Please Nikku...Bas yaar (enough friend) I can't see her like that! Further you force her into this shit...I'm going back to India leaving your engagement Mihir...I don't care if Aaru creates a scene..I will go! So simple! Stop this shit right now! No more drama...let everything be as it is... please leave me alone... Tomorrow afternoon is your engagement...go get yourself ready...'  he said

While I and Nikki looked at each other...

We walked out of the room and saw Malu, Aaru and Musky all three at the door.

'Dev uncle has asked to stop this right now' Malu said...

And I looked at Malu raising my hands up in air..

'But he has also suggested a plan B 😈' she smirked while giving a devilish smile...

I wonder what has the mastermind planned this time!

Neiv's POV:

It was night already...I didn't want to go downstairs...Nikku had left although Madan called me and told me to reach them out anytime I have a change of plan but I guess I screwed enough of their late  honeymoon. They were married 8 months back and were now on s honeymoon finally. And I was a idiot to listen to Mihir. Dad was proud of me when I planned this shit! He infact told me..

'Devils genes!!!' but I never imagined she will be this broken.

Or maybe imagining and seeing it makes a huge difference!

Huhhh... what was I thinking??? She'll come and kiss me...
Tell me that she loves me???

How I wish it was this easy!

Guess lust is easy! Love isn't!

I was better as a fuckboi...

This loverboy is shitting the hell out of me!!!

While  I heard a voice...
'Thats why at times you must just take a chill with old friends... Come... have it' saying she offered me a chilled beer and sat on the swing next to me here on terrace...

'Neiv Meow.. don't do this... You are taking it hard on you... believe me...Maan jayengi (she'll agree) you will get promotion from being my sexy brother to a super sexy jiju (brother in law) dude...chill !!!' she said and I chuckled...

She always makes me smile. I pulled her closer and side hugged her. She's just like Dishani or Aaru for me. My little Musky baby.

We sat chatting till late night about good old memories. Everyone else was busy with the engagement preps.

We were relishing our old memories. I felt better with her. We called Nikku and Madan who were finally out for a candle light dinner. It was almost 1 am in the night... we went downstairs while I was feeling hungry...Musky got me some food from kitchen while everyone had slept as we had a early morning function tomorrow morning...

I sat on the dinner table and was wincing at the pain in my hand. Damn I must have took a painkiller.

While I was thinking about it and Musky stuffed a spoonful of Bitter gourd curry  into my mouth and I looked at her.

Ewwwwwwv I hate bittergourd 🤢

Before I could speak another word she shoved another spoon in my mouth.
🤢🤢🤢

She was laughing loudly...

'You Musky Chusky...wait ...' I took a big piece of bittergourd from the curry roll it  in the roti and run behind her to stuff it into her mouth..

But she was too quick...

In the verge of it I happened to crash into someone and the glass jar from the person's hand fell down
.

'Im so sorry Musky actually was trying to' and before I could complete my eyes met a pair of eyes that were shooting fire at me!!!

Chaahat stood infront of me grinding her teeth!

While I lowered my gaze and got on my knees to clean it up...

'Its ok Mr Kapoor... We don't make our guests work! Stay...enjoy...leave!!! Rest stay away from my personal life and my people!' she said

And shouted for a house help who cleaned the mess!

I kept looking at her who filled water for herself.

It was strange! She had bandages in her foot... she managed to get down the staircase to fill water in the jug!

She was still seething anger!!!

And what does she mean by stay away from her people!

I could still feel her angry gaze on me... Musky offered to help her take the stairs but she refused...

She is still angry!

But shouldn't I be upset and angry too???

She bloody hurt herself, created a scene but her ego was still sky high not ready to confess her emotions!!!

This woman is impossible!!!
