Taming The Casanova

Chapter 8

Sahil's POV

Why did she cry when Swati was talking about dad?? Why did she run away from the room?

Mom and Sagar also went to their rooms. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

" What happened to her? " I asked Swati

" I don't know, maybe she missed her parents. " she looked a bit confused too.

" Then why she is staying away from them? " I asked.

" She is a photographer, she has an assignment to complete, she is supposed to click pictures of 5

beautiful places like this beautiful city and places around it. She would have to make a cover story on

them. That's why she is staying here." She said.

" How did the two of you became friends? " I asked again.

" She was studying in Canada as well. " She said casually.

" Oh ok... I am really tired I must go and sleep now.. good night Sweetie.. "

" Bhai, it is Swati.. you know that I don't like being called Sweetie. "

" But you love sweets and I love calling you Sweetie. "

" Fine. I will not talk to you. "

" Ok... Sorry swee... Swati. " I smiled at her and kissed her on her forehead and went towards my

room.

I saw Manu coming towards me. She was looking downwards.

" What happened?? " I asked her when she came closer to me.

" N..nothing... " she said but didn't look at me.

" Then why did you cry? " I couldn't stop myself from asking. Though I knew, she won't tell me.

" I didn't. "

" I saw tears... "

" Something got into my eyes," she said still not looking at me even once.

" Are you alright? " I asked again.

Why am I even bothered? She doesn't even want to look at me.

" Yeah... Absolutely. Thanks. '

" Ok, good night. "

" Good night. "

She said and ran towards her room.

Oh, so she is a photographer..... That's why she was clicking pictures of everything.

But what is her problem with me?? Just because I thought that she was Swati and picked up her ??

She must be insane...

Hey, but why was I even thinking about her??...she was just a very boring girl...

I had more pressing issues to think about. Dad was coming the next day and he would again be after

my life. I was sick of that matter. He wanted me to spend my life with the daughter of his friend who

lived in Jodhpur.

Actually, he wanted Sagar to come to Jodhpur, but as Sagar could not leave Damini alone at that time.

So I went to help my dad. When I reached there instead of Sagar, dad asked me why did I come

instead of Sagar?

I told him that Sagar was busy. He told me that he wanted Sagar to get married to the daughter of his

friend here in Jodhpur.

I told him that Sagar was madly in love with someone for the last ten years and he would never get

married to any other girl than Damini.

My dad said, " I have already given my words to my friend that my son would get married to his

daughter. "

" But how can I help it? Sagar would not marry her or anyone else than Damini and I will not marry

anyone .. "

He tried every trick in the book to get me married to that girl. He tried emotional blackmail, he even

threatened me that he would never talk to me again and that I would not have any right on his

properties and business.

I avoided my dad for days and we did not even talk to each other. I don't know why that girl got ready to

get married to me. Was she so incapable of finding a guy for her own?

She hasn't even replied to the papers I sent her. How can she not react to that?? I hate that brainless

and spineless girl... Manyata Singh Rathore.

Her name does not suit her. I thought she must be a girl with an amazingly strong personality. But she

looked some like, some crying teenager to me. Though I didn't bother to look at her I saw how she was

dressed. It looked as if she didn't know anything about fashion. Her hair was tied up in a messy knot

and she was wearing oversized pullover on jeans.

We both were in the same room. But I didn't even want to look at her. I mean imagine that I didn't even

look at her... So either she was not a girl or I had gone blind.

When her parents told her that they wanted to get her married to me, she didn't even say anything, she

just kept crying meekly.

I hate her with everything in me.

We met two times but I never saw her properly. I didn't want to.

They wanted to merge the business and as she was not interested in her dad's business, I would have

become a partner from our family.

But I didn't want that too. Why should I sacrifice my life for that good for nothing girl?

So with the help of my best friend Samar, I sent her a proposal. But I think she is so dim wit that she

didn't understand what was written there.

Anyone would have reacted after reading that... But there is no reaction from her...

What would I say to my dad now? He would throw me out of his business and life. I care a damn about

business and property. But I love my family a lot. I can't even think about living without them. But the

problem is that I can't even live my life with that girl.

What would I say, when dad would ask me about her. I tried to find her but I didn't know much about

her.

I am scared dad will not even let me attend Sagar's wedding.

I can't give stress to Sagar at this time. He is so happy after so many years I can't discuss anything

with him.

And mom already was stressed about the tension between dad and me.

I would have to stay away from dad as much as possible.

I was just getting irritated with all that. So I decided to go out with my friends the next day.

I called up Mitali and told her that I am free.

******

I got up and went out to my balcony. Samar's car was parked there what was he doing so early in the

morning I look at the time it was 9 AM.

I freshen up and went downstairs Sagar and Samar were sitting in the living room.

" Come Sahil, have breakfast. " Sagar said and I nodded and smiled.

I said hello to Samar and he smiled at me. " Good morning Sahil... "

" Hey Samar, I am going out in the evening, would you like to come? "

" Oh !!! Mitali?? " Samar raised his eyebrows and I smiled a bit.

" Who is Mitali?? " Sagar asked me too quickly.

" My date for tonight... " I said.

" But Sahil.. how can you go on a date?? "

" Why?? Why can't I go on a date? " I asked him. He was so surprised to hear that.

" She was hot and was very eager to go out with him last night. " Samar smirked.

" I mean... Dad is coming back after so many days, how can you go today? "

" I am going, Sagar... As it is dad won't be too happy to meet me. " I said and Samar coughed a bit.

I know that was his way of telling me that I had to control and not spill the beans.

" Why would he not be happy to see you after so long? Have you done anything wrong?? " Sagar

asked me looking directly into my eyes.

" Sagar, I have not done anything wrong. It's dad ... Let it be, he had been trying to control my life lately

and I don't want that. "

" He is our dad and he loves us a lot. He would be hurt if you don't stay home. " Sagar said again.

" It will be good If I go away as he would start doing that again and then everyone's mood would be

spoilt. " I said looking out of the window.

" Sahil, why are you saying that? " Sagar asked that.

" I am very hungry, let's have food. " I said avoiding that topic.
