Taming The Casanova

Chapter 13

Sahil's POV

I caught her hand and we came out.

" What was that?? " I asked Raima in a raised voice. I was literally irritated with her. She spoilt the

evening of my family as well.

" What?? " she looked at me with feigned innocence.

" Why did you have to say all that? " I said as soon as I started driving my car.

" What did I say? "

" You pretended to be my girlfriend. As if we were courting. "

" So?? We are dating, are we not? " she said.

" Listen to one thing and once for all, I am not interested in any relationship. I made it clear in the

beginning, that I don't do love. Please keep that in your mind and don't ever try that again. "

" But Sahil... "

" No discussion on this, how can you say all that in front of my family, my younger sister? It was so

embarrassing. "

" Ok fine.. sorry. I was just trying to be friendly with them... "

" There was just no need for that. " I said and stopped the car in front of her home.

" Won't you come in for..... Coffee ? "

" No "

" C'mon Sahil, now don't spoil the fun."

" I have a headache... I need to go. "

I said.

She came closer to me to kiss me but I turned my face.

" Please Raima, I need to go and sleep. " she got down from my car and before she could say

Anything, I placed my foot on the accelerator.

I came home and went to have a glass of chilled water. I drank water and when I was going to my

room, I saw Sagar, Swati and Manu coming in.

Swati and Manu ignored me and went to their room.

" I am sorry that stupid girl spoilt your perfect evening. " I said to Sagar.

" It's ok Sahil, it was just an evening. I would have many such evenings with our loved ones. But I am

feeling bad for you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life like this? Think about it Sahil... "

He said that and went to his room. I don't know for how long, I kept standing there thinking about what

he said.

********

It was morning and I went outside everyone was having breakfast. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

" Good morning... " I said to everyone but they just returned it with a polite faint smile.

Only mom seemed ok, she smiled at me and served me breakfast. I was eating when I felt that my dad

was looking at me.

I saw him glaring at me. " I need to talk to you Sahil. Finish your food and come with me. "

" Ok.. "

" Let him eat properly... " Mom said to dad and gave me more paneer parantha. I was very hungry and

ate a lot.

" Mom, it is really good. Very tasty." I said smiling at her.

" Again the credit goes to, Manu and Swati ... They made them. Swati is trying to learn new things in

cooking. Good for her... " Mom said with a broad smile.

I looked at Manu she was eating quietly eating her breakfast looking into her plate. Even Swati was not

her usual self. She was very quiet.

Just then Samar came and said good morning to everyone. Everyone smiled at him. Mom served

breakfast to him also. He loved it and thanked mom and mom told him the same.

He smiled like a weirdo to hear that. What was so funny in it??

" Hey, Manu, what time do you take the cooking classes? Can I get myself enrolled in them? " he said

with a broad smile.

" Why do you want to learn Samar Ji?" Manu asked him.

" Well, what will happen once you go from here? I need to learn by then. "

" Very funny..." Sagar said and smiled.

" I have a suggestion that you settle here in Chandigarh. You can even start a restaurant of your own.

At least, I will eat all the meals there. " Everyone laughed at that.

" Well good idea Samar Ji but I am not interested in opening a restaurant. I am a photographer. I am

happy with that. I just love to cook for my family and friends. "

" Ok then another suggestion, get married here in Chandigarh and settle down. "

I chocked on my food and Sagar and Manu also looked a bit shocked.

Why was he after her?? Was he proposing indirectly?

" I have a better idea... You should get married to a beautiful girl. She will make your favourite dishes in

all the meals. " Manu said with a smile.

" Brilliant idea Manu. I will definitely look for a beautiful girl who can cook like you as well. Thanks a lot

for your valuable idea and awesome food. But I still want to attend the classes. " Samar said and

smiled.

" So how are the preparations going on? " Dad asked to change the subject.

" Very good uncle, everything done, if you need any help, just let me know. " Samar said.

" Sure beta, you are very nice, your aunty was telling me that you are helping her in shopping as well. I

really like, how hard you are working."

" Thanks a lot, uncle but Damini is just like my sister. So doing arrangements for her is my

responsibility. "

" Your dad is really lucky, to have such a responsible son. You are taking Mr Srivastava's responsibility

too, while some people don't even take their responsibility," he said looking at me.

Samar looked at me and again turned the topic to food. Though he always turned the topic to food still I

was thankful that he did.

" Aunty do you have something sweet too? "

" They made some cupcakes. Swati get it beta. " Mom said.

Swati brought some cutely decorated cupcakes.

" Wow!! They look so amazing, I am sure they would taste even better. " He said and passed the platter

to everyone. We all picked one but he picked two.

They were really amazing. Swati was looking at everyone's face. Everyone liked them.

" Wow !! Now tell me when will you teach me this? "

" Anytime you are free... " Swati said to him. He smiled back.

" From tomorrow then. Ok? " he asked both the girls and they nodded and giggled.

" Ok.. "

I got up to go to the office. But dad stopped me.

" I said, I need to talk to you... "

" Ok, tell me. What do you want to talk about dad? "

" Oh, so you want me to spell it out for you? Fine son, I will do that... I want to talk about Manyata. "

" There is nothing to talk about her. "

" You can't behave like that. "

" You can't behave like that too, I am your son, not your property. I have feelings too. "

" Learn to be responsible.... "

" How can I be responsible for her? "

" You are b...... because of the promise I gave to her parents. "

" Exactly dad... You made the promise. So she is your responsibility. Don't involve me in this. " I said

and went out.

I went to the office and worked there for the whole day. In the evening I went to the same club again.

As I was feeling very stressed out. I needed to find that girl, Manyata.

I went to the bar directly and started drinking.

Samar's POV

I was lying on my bed thinking about the sweet girl, I had fallen for. My beautiful angel, Swati. Swati

Malhotra, the younger sister of my best friend Sahil.

I saw her for the first time about 3 years ago. When she was in India during her vacation and I had

gone to Delhi for some work. I stayed at their place for 5 days and saw her every day and felt some

kind of attraction towards her but I did not take it seriously at that time.

But later on, whenever I got to know that she was in India, I went to Delhi. I didn't know why I did that. I

explained myself that I wanted to meet Sahil and had some work in Delhi.

I thought that It would hurt Sahil that I was interested in his sister and he might get angry with me. So I

always kept my feelings bottled up in my heart.

But when dad wanted me to get married to Damini I realised that I could not even think about it as I

had that kind of feelings only for Swati.

I came to know that she was coming to India as vacations had started and she would stay in

Chandigarh for Sagar and Damini's wedding, I was very excited.

Sahil was going to get them back to Chandigarh I could not wait till then. So I told Sahil that I had some

work in Delhi and I was going to Delhi also hence we could go together. He agreed and I went to Delhi

with him I did some work in Delhi and then we went to pick up Swati.
