Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Shiva's Pov

Tomorrow is my engagement with keerthi. My mom planned it  simple

With my family and close friends. Everyone is happy except me.

I didn't see Navya in these two weeks except yesterday. Firstly I didn't planned to see her in these days. If I saw her again I don't think what I will do. I don't want to make her pain. It's hell hurt me too. So, I decided to forget her as Arjun said.

We usually ate in my office. But Yesterday me and Arjun went to our office canteen to check everything is correct.

We sat on the corner. There's group of girls sat on the table in front of us. They're deep into their conversation that they forget their surrounding.

One girl in that group said, guys yesterday we went to shopping for my marriage.

Really, did you select your bridal dress? Another girl asked her.

She said, yes because of that me and my hubby have 3rd world War

What? Another girl asked.

Yeah Deepu for my bridal dress, he choose yellow colour and I choose red one. At last we take pink one we both like that, she said.

That conversation take me to my past.

I thought about the day we went to select bridal saree for Navi.

Flashback starts

Our family and hers went to shopping for marriage as they come to Chennai. I asked my friends for company but they said literally shouting "oppss girls and their shopping... We can't" Atlast I dragged Arjun with me.

First we went gold section. Navi's parents and Piya went bracelet section for me. My mom ordered some designs for her. Navi didn't show any interest on shopping.

Shiva you're really lucky. Navya didn't like shopping not like mine, my anna said looking at my anni.

Oh! My poor husband, my anni said emphasize.

Oh my poor anna and anni.. Don't believe anything this soon. She doesn't know shopping as she's poor or may be she's acting in front of us to portrait she's good. Who knows what she's planning, my sister spited her words.

Anu! My mom shouted at her

What mom you want to slap me again? One day you will see her real face, she said.

Anu don't create scene, my bro told her.

Wow bro you also supported her. Anni protect anna from her otherwise she also.. Before she complete my akka slapped her

Don't dare to talk like that Anu, she shouted

She went to Navi and said, are you happy now. Everyone started to hate me. what magic you put on my family

Anu I'm so.. Before Navi said I stopped her.

You don't have to explain anything to her Navi. She must know who she's talking with, I said to Navi.

Anna...., Anu said.

If you really want me to be your anna then ever insult her. I warned you Anu, I said and dragged Navi with me.

We went to the garden table. I just controlled my anger on Anu and Navi.

Shiva you don't need to treat her like this because of me, Navi said softly. That increase my anger on her

Hey... Are you mad or do you think you're some saint, I yelled at her

Shiva she's not mature at all why you take her words like that, she said.

Don't just try to console me Navi. I know you're hurt,I said.

She didn't said anything

Just think if your parents heard this what they will feel. Anu have to think all of this. Just because she didn't liked you doesn't give any reason to hurt you. She have to behave and she's not small she's 23 for godsake,I said

I understand your words shiva, but what your family... I stopped her.

You're as much important to me as my family Navi. To be truth I never thought I like someone this much. The thought of my family gives happiness to me. But whenever I think about you it's make me feel special. You always makes me relaxed. Your eyes, smile, voice it's all running in my mind 24/7. Don't feel insecure. You have all rights on me. You don't have to heard any hurtful words for me. It's make me feel bad. Stand up for you Navi. You don't have to hide anything mainly your feelings to me. You're mine and I'm yours..,I said looking into her eyes

She hugged me and didn't said anything. That silence did lot of promise between us.

Then we went to pattu saree section. This time Anu wasn't there. We looked for Mugurthum saree. My eyes went to the yellow one with green and red boarder. It's simple as well as eloquent. Navi surely amazing in this..

How about this Navi, I asked while showing that saree.

Shiva it's so simple, my anni said

Anni Navi likes simple and it surely looks good on her, I said

Navi smiled at me and said, it's superb Shiva and I like it

But you didn't like yellow colour Navi, Piya said.

I looked at Navi. She looked at Piya and said, it's not like that Piya and I really liked this saree.

No Navi you don't have to buy this for me. Let look on something you like, I said

No shiva. I really like this saree, she said

Hey... It's final choose another, I said and my mobile ringed. I excuse myself and went to take that call.

That call goes more than 20 mins as it's really important. After I cut the call.

They did their cash. That's when my anni said, Shiva Navi is already followed your likes. She choose the saree you select. I looked at Navi she smiled at me.

Even though she didn't liked that colour she selected it for me, deep inside I liked it. But she don't have to do that. After all its our marriage she must have to wear what she likes. I don't want to talk in front of others. They are already make fun of me I don't have to give any lead. We went to car.

Me, Navi, Arjun and Piya went in one car. Arjun started to drive and piya sat beside him. Me and Navi on back side.

Hey... You don't have to select that for me, I said

Who said I bought it for you, she said

Counter starts, Arjun teased.

You shut up idiot, I said

Yeah grandpa it's their love fight you don't have to interfere, Piya said.

Youuu! Navi please don't close with this grandma. She spoiled you too, he said.

I too think so anna, Navi said

You too Brutus! I'm hurt, Piya said with her fake anger

Hey... Don't tease my sister, I said.

Then you too become grandpa, Arjun said

Look into the mirror you idiot then you know who's is grandpa, I said

We went to restaurant. We order juices. Me and Navi on one side. Arjun and piya on otherside.

Shiva, that saree is really amazing that's why I select this, she said.

Don't lie Navi. You don't like yellow right? I asked

It's not like Shiva. I'm not used to wear yellow that I thought it's not suit for me. That's why Piya said I didn't like yellow, she said.

I looked at Piya and she nodded her head.

Then why you choose it now? I asked

For whom I have to look beautiful on that day? She asked.

Of course it's me! Not only that day for life long, I said little possessive

Much possessiveness buddy, Arjun teased. Navi blushed for his teasing

I too want to look beautiful for you not for others. As I said before I just thought I'm not good on yellow. But if you think I will then I don't have to uncomfortable Shiva. And I well known you never looked at anyone except me, she said more confidently

Everytime she makes me fall for her more. I smiled and Arjun give knowing smile to me

After sometimes of chitchatting. We went back to car. In between I decided to tease her. So I went to close too her. She started to feel my breath.

I don't have any problem with your dressing. You look beautiful in whatever you're wearing. Even sexy and stunning in your birth suite. I prefer more that, I said to her huskily

She blushes like there's no tomorrow. And I know Arjun well known my play.

Flashback ending

Every single thing make me remember her. I stand up to leave. That's when I looked her she also sat on that table. Our eyes met accidentally. But that second I know, she loves me truly. The same look I feel every time looking at her. There's love and pain. It's clearly shown. She have a tears too. I fisted my hand went to my office.

I thought about this from yesterday. Is Navya words are true or her eyes? The same eyes that I fell for her.

My thoughts comes to end because of Arjun. Hey what are you thinking? Arjun asked.

She loves me too, I said

What? He asked

Navi loves me too. I'm not cheated, I said.
