He is continuously looking at me; "Listen, I am sorry for what I did today, okay, I am sorry," I said.
"Don't you have any manners?" he said.
"What?" I said.
"I am your jiju...so you have to call me jiju," he told.
"You are not married yet, so technically you are not my jiju ... so we are not related at all," I said.
We both looked at each other angrily. i can sense from his expressions only ..how furious he is looking at me..It's like I don't like him, and he also doesn't like me. And now he is going to be my jiju. How am I going to tolerate him...How are we even going to face each other ...
Siddharth's POV
What does she think of herself? How does she behave so immaturely? First, she just randomly started shouting at me today, and now she is saying sorry. That too with attitude. When Sakshi told me about her sister, I never thought her to be like this. Sakshi is full of grace, simple, soft on the other side. Her sister Mahi is not at all soft-spoken. Is this the way someone treats their sister's would-be husband? She thinks she is being sassy, but in turn she is so full of herself.. I was thinking all of this and didn't realize that I was looking at her. As soon as I realized, I moved my eyes from her.
"So, how did you meet Sakshi di?" she asked all of sudden.. i looked at her immediately ...
"So you talk like this also," I said confused...
"What do you mean?" she said.
"Nothing. I thought that you were like this only, always shouting," I said.
She rolled her eyes, and then I laughed just looking at her face, i think its her habit to do eye roll.
"Why are you laughing?" she said.
"Nothing," I said still chuckling .
"Listen, I want to normalize things between you and me because you are going to be my sister's husband, so I have to respect you, and you have to respect me also so that's why I want to have this normalized bond between us so that after marriage whenever we will meet at any occasion, we can tolerate each other. Otherwise, I don't like you,not at all" she said.
I heard her briefly .. wow .. she is really outspoken .. Well i never thought she is going to be like this ... Because i always thought that girls usually from these kinds of family who are so culturally rich are soft spoken.. they respect other people.. for them respect is the top most priority .. But Mahi .. she is different.. she got this attitude which i really dont appreciate and really dont like...
"Well, there is no need to like me because your sister already loves me," I said and then left. I know it will be best to see her expression at this time.. But its okay sid .. just move on i said to myself..
Mahi's POV
"Well, I don't need you to like me. Your sister already loves me," he said, and then he left with a smirk. I hate that smirk. Oh God, why are you doing this to me? I always thought that I am going to enjoy with my jiju so much, I am going to take so many gifts from my jiju, but now things are messed up. How can I even going to face him...
After some time, everyone gathered in a hall. Now it was time for the Siddharth family to leave. Everyone bid goodbye to each other. " Mr Rajpoot it was lovely coming here .. soon we are going to be a family.. "Â his father said ... " It was my honor to attend your family.. Hope you liked it.. " My father..
" Mrs. Rajpoot .. your daughters are lovely.. Both of them are highly skilled and i am very impressed the kind of values and ethics you have taught them " His mother said .. He immediately cleared his throat listening to this ..
" Sid what was that " his mom scolded him .." sorry just got something .. i am really sorry uncle.. " he said by folding his hands.. " No Siddharth Beta (Son) you don't have to apologize .. soon you are goin to be a member of our family.. " Dad said..
i am just shocked to see the behavior that my dad is showing, he is so changed, i am happy and irritated at the same time.. i like this change if it was for me only.. but i know its for Sakshi di and her beloved husband ..
Jiju asked Sakshi di for a long drive, but our father would not allow it; you know I told you about traditions. Sakshi Di made a puppy face in front of my father.
"Okay, you can go with Siddharth, but on only one condition," he said.
"What?" Sakshi di asked.
"You have to take Mahi also," I looked at him, shocked. 'What,' I thought in my mind. Sakshi di looked at me happily. I fought with Papa that I don't want to go.
"Why are you doing this? Anyhow she is getting married next week, so let her go. I don't want to ruin their time," I said. My father gave me a look. Now I don't have any choice. I can't argue with him; I have to go.
"Okay fine, I will go," I went out. I looked at Siddharth; he was looking at me pissed.
"What? See if you have any problem you can talk to my father ... i dont even wanna go" I asked him.
"Nothing, you can come " he said. I one last time looked at my father and requested him not let me go .. but he was adamant on his decision .. Fine i will go.. i know i can go through this ...
"Why, God, whyyyyyyy..." I cursed my luck. They both hopped in the front, and I sat in the back. "So what have you planned for our wedding?" Sakshi Di asked him."Well, Mom is planning everything, so technically, she's looking after all the details," he said."What, Sid, you're not even excited for our wedding?" Sakshi Di asked."No, Sakshi, it's not like that..." he replied.I didn't realize when I yawned. Di didn't pay attention, but Sid looked at me through the mirror."Mahi, you know, we still need to decide on our honeymoon destination," Sakshi Di said.Oh God, I don't even have one percent interest in planning anything about their honeymoon. "Sid, let's go to Italy, na? I heard it's a nice and romantic place. We can also book that hotel forâ""TMI, Di, TMI! For God's sake, please stop,"
I interrupted.Di looked at me and laughed. "At least you said something; otherwise, I don't know what's wrong with you. Why are you so silent?" she asked."I don't know... I'm just sleepy," I replied."You slept all day already, Mahi. Now I know you're making excuses," Sakshi Di said."Geez, Di, you came for a long drive to spend time with me or him? Talk to him," I said."Is this the way you talk to your sister?" Sid interjected. We both looked at him.
Does he even know this is normal between us? "Sid, it's fine. It's normal between us," Di said."No, Sakshi, her tone is really bad. She needs to learn how to talk to people," he insisted."Listen, Mr. Sid, you don't have to worry about how I talk to people," I shot back.He fell silent."Please, both of you spend some quality time with each other. In a few days, you guys will be married. Enjoy your freedom, peeps," I said.They both looked at each other and chuckled. As they shared a laugh, I couldn't help but wonder if things would ever feel normal between us. Maybe, just maybe, time would smooth out the rough edges.
