Chapter 40
Sahil''s POV
I got ready and went to the kitchen to have my morning drink and left a message for my mom that I was
going to Delhi for some urgent work.
I could not tell her that I was going to meet Manyata. I didn''t know how Manyata would react.
I was ready for everything but I didn''t want to give false hope to my mom. As it is, she had some health
issues and we try our level best never to give stress to her because she always panicked on small
things.
I didn''t know how much time it will take to persuade mannata to give our marriage another chance so I
didn''t tell my mom otherwise she would be hopeful and if things didn''t work out well she would be
heartbroken.
I kept my bag andptop in the car and called Samar to the office.
I reached there and within 15 minutes, he also came in.
" What happened?? What are you doing in office at such an early hour? What''s wrong? "
" Nothing is wrong... I have some work in Delhi, so I am going there for a few days and while, Sagar
and Damini are not here you have to be here in the office, after your court. Just take care and if you
need to ask anything, I am just a phone call away." I said and he smiled a bit and then made a serious
face again.
Was he crazy?? Why was he behaving weirdly?
" Hey!! you going to Delhi, but why?? I didn''t know there was any urgent work in Delhi... I can go to
Delhi you can stay here, as it is I don''t know your work here. But I can manage the work in Delhi. "
" Thanks, but no thanks.... that''s my business and I will deal whatever work, I have in Delhi. You should
not bother yourself, that''s my business and I will handle it. " I said ring at him.
" Well fine !!! Don''t get so worked up, man. I was trying to help you. You know, you can let me know if
you need my help I wille to Delhi as soon as you call me. After all, I am your best friend and
partner in your business. "
" I said, no thanks. Whatever business I have in Delhi is only my business.... you are not a partner in
that. So stay out of it. "
" Ok... But if by any chance you meet Manu, I mean Manyata, please tell her that I miss her a lot. "
" Why are you missing her? "
" Why can''t I miss her... She is my friend, she cooked so many good things for me. She even taught me
how to cook. I miss those cooking sses and she is so elegant and sweet just like that paneer kheer.
"
" Samar just stop talking about her. "
" But how does that matter to you?? Anyways she is my friend just the way you are. I liked spending
time with her. What is your problem?? You never even talked to her. Forget talking you never even
looked at her. You wanted your divorce. Right? "
" Samar!!!! .. "
" How sweet she let you go off the hook so easily... If it was any of your so-called girlfriends, they would
have taken this opportunity to reap profits. She is an amazing girl... "
" Samar... Enough!!! "
" Hey!! Did you sign the papers? Give them to me. I will submit them in court so by the time youe
back the process would have been already started it will take lesser time. " He said.
" I don''t have them here... "
" Then let''s go to your home and get them. Uncle is asking again and again. C''mon yaar give me the
papers duly signed by you."
" Why??? what is the hurry?? "
" Uncle wants to get it over with. He wants to settle her down fast.. "
" With you?? " I said sarcastically.
" Well, he suggested... I would have thought about it, as she is almost perfect, but then It would be a bit
awkward as she is... I mean was your wife. "
" Yes, it would be... And she is still my wife. "
" Not for long... She has already signed the papers and you are going to sign and give them to me. "
" You seemed to be very excited about this divorce. " I was getting angry now.
" After you left, uncle made me understand that it doesn''t matter that she was your wife. You never
even looked at her. "
" Of course it matters... What about bro code?? " I asked.
" What bro code?? You were never in a rtionship with her... Hell, you never even looked at her while
getting married. "
" So you are ready to get married? " I was about to kill him.
" Uncle said that I was one of the most eligible boys for his daughter. So, I kind..... of agreed. I said I
would marry his daughter. I liked her a lot. Your parents are very happy and excited. "
" How dare you?? Don''t even think about it. Manyata is my wife and I am not going to sign the papers. "
" But why?? "
" Shut up !!! Just get it out of your mind. She is and will remain my wife."
" That''s not fair...what about her happiness?? "
" You don''t worry about it. She is my wife, so it is my responsibility to give her all the happiness in the
world. She will be happy with me not with anyone else. "
" But... I ... "
" Go to hell. And forget about her. Or I will forget that you are my best friend. "
" But Manu?? "
" Shut up or I will lose my temper. " I red at him and heughed.
Had he gone crazy??
Well, he always was...
But again he tried to control hisughter.
What was heughing about??
Was he making fun of me??
I got so angry that I punched him on his jaw. But he kept smiling.
What was wrong with him?? Was he sure that I can''t win my wife''s affection?
" Why are youughing like a lunatic?"
" Nothing... go... All the best. And if you need my help, I am just a phone call away... Don''t forget to tell
her that I missed her a lot. " he said with a wink.
He had lost it... I punched him again and heughed even harder and he didn''t even try to protect
himself.
Either he has gone mad or I was going mad.
I felt bad for punching him. He is just like a brother to me. But he made me angry. I punched him twice
but he did not hit me back and keptughing.
"Samar all you alright?? I held him straight and asked.
" I am fine... go," he said trying not tough.
" Why are youughing? You know I am getting angry still you areughing... Why ?? "
" Just like that... Not important. "
" I am sorry... I didn''t mean to punch you. but stop talking like that about Manyata... I am not going to
sign the papers so.. please don''t even think about her. "
" You are such an idiot... " He said and went out touching his jaw, where I punched him.
I sat down and drank a ss of cold water.
I should not have punched him. He has always stood by me. He is very important in my life. I should
have told him about my feelings for Manyata.
I called up Sagar. He picked up the call.
" Hi... " I said
" Hi, Sahil.. how are you?? "
" Fine... Where have you reached?? "
" We have reached Dubai and after 4 days we will go to Switzend. "
" Great... Enjoy yourself. "
" Thanks, we will... Have you signed the papers and submitted them in court?? "
Not again...
" What is wrong with everyone?? "
" What?? "
" Why is everyone after me to sign those damn papers??"
" You wanted that... We are just supporting you. We just want you both to be free of your unwanted
forced marriage and live your lives as you both want. She can get married to Moh... "
" Shut up. Now listen one thing and once for all. I am not going to sign those papers ever... She is my
wife and I intend to keep it this way only."
" Are you sure?? " Sagar asked me.
" I have never been more sure about anything else. I am going to Delhi to meet her. She will not marry
anyone. Neither Samar nor Mohit. "
" Samar?? "
From N?velDrama.Org.
" Dad asked him if he would like to... After I... "
" Oh, God !! What did he say?? "
" He said no, but dad was trying to persuade him. But I just told him to forget about it. She is my wife. "
" Well good... So what are you going to do?? "
" I am going to meet her... Just tell me where is she?? "
" Are you serious about her?? "
" Absolutely... "
" Good .... She is at Vikram''s ce. He called up, yesterday. He was furious at you. I tried to calm him
down but he may get angry again. So take care. "
" Sure don''t worry... bye... Enjoy yourselves. " I said.
I got into my car and drove towards my destination... My wife... Manyata.
