We're currently in a hotel having our meal while everyone is chatting and laughing while I'm just sitting silently passing a few smiles occasionally.

I am officially Mrs. Pihu Malhotra.

The whole time Samir didn't even look at me once, he didn't even say a word he was being Mr I-don't-talk-to-anyone.

"Pihu?" I looked up at my dad.

"you haven't eaten much" my dad pointed as I looked at my plate and again at him.

"I'm not that hungry right now, so.." I lowered my head feeling their eyes on me I've never liked too much attention on me.

"she's looks so pale and nervous" Samir's mom remarked jokingly as I looked at her.

"No I'm totally fine" Samir was sitting next to his mom and I saw him smirking when I said this.

.....

After a few more minutes of everyone chatting and enjoying we came out and stood near our cars, yes cars.

One in which me, mom and dad came other in which Mr and Mrs Malhotra came and third one in which Samir came.

It was finally the time to leave, I am really so nervous right now.

Mrs Malhotra was standing next to me while my mom and Samir were standing behind me.

"Tell me if she creates trouble or doesn't obey you" She said in a mocking way to which Samir laughed.

This is the prettiest laugh I've heard.

"Who am I to order her and I'll make sure to tell you if she creates trouble" It felt like he was purposely being loud so that I could hear him.

"Don't you dare team up against my daughter" Mrs Malhotra stated as she kept looking at front not even sparing them a glance. I smiled and heard a chuckle.

My mom walked to the car where dad was standing and me and Samir went near them to touch their feet and get blessings.

I touched my dad's feet and then my mom's. She hugged me and whispered in my ear "be obedient, men's hate rejections"

yeah and women love rejections.

I literally rolled my eyes and pulled back. She smiled at me and after they left I went to touch Mr and Mrs Malhotra's feet they didn't let me instead pulled me for a hug and Mr Malhotra even patted my head.

did you see the difference?

"let's go home, it's been tiring" Mr Malhotra said while getting in his car and Mrs Malhotra followed him. "Samir, take care of her" she glared at him, playfully. The driver started the car and soon they drove leaving me and Samir.

I turned around and he was getting in the car I followed him and sat inside waiting for him to drive.

What are you waiting for? Just drive.

"If you're expecting me to do your seatbelt, you better not" I glanced at him with an annoyed look and did my seatbelt.

He could've mentioned that without being sarcastic.

I mentally rolled my eyes and he started the car. I kept looking outside while he was focused on driving.

....

"This fucking thing" I heard a harsh and low voice as I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Samir's cheek right in front of me. He was trying to undo my seatbelt.

"Samir" my voice came out like a whisper because I just woke up and he was the first thing I saw. His side profile is gorgeous.

Let's pretend that I never said that.

"I'm just trying to undo this, I think it's stuck" I kept staring at him and after more 5-10 seconds he sighed "finally, I don't know what's wrong with this" he looked at me and then pulled himself out of car and stood straight, he slammed the door, you could've left it open there was no need to slam it on my face.

I went out of car and followed him inside. I entered and saw his mom and dad sitting on the couch, talking to each other.

Mrs Malhotra asked us to sit on the couch in front of them and we did, but with a good amount of space between us.

"you two look so good together" yeah with a space enough for one more person to fit in she almost squealed as Mr Malhotra smiled. I too suppressed a smile, not at the compliment but because she almost looked like a kid doing that.

"Pihu you can call us mom and dad, and don't be hesitant do anything you want to there's no one stopping you and if 'someone' tries to boss around, just tell me" she emphasized on 'someone' while looking at her son and then turned to me with a smile.

"okay, mom" she smiled at the word I used for her.

"you both can go and change, I'll call you for dinner" I nodded along with Samir as we stood up and he lead me to a room.

Do I really have to stay in the same room with him?

"share a room for today, from tomorrow we'll be living in my house and there you can choose the room farthest from mine"

I looked at his back as he was walking, this boy surely reads minds.

He opened the door and we both went inside. He flopped himself on the bed.

"you can shower first" He said with his eyes still closed. I muttered a small okay.

"umm.. my clothes?"

"your bag is in my closet" can he even feel me staring at him? I walked to what seemed like his closet and luckily it was. I saw my navy blue colored bag there and opened it to take out a sari to wear.

I decided to remove my earrings and necklace here, but life's not that simple it is? My necklace was badly tangled with my hair. Keyword: badly

I kept struggling with it to make it even worse. Calling him to help me won't be a bother right?

I peeked out only to see him in lying on the bed in the same position with his eyes still closed.

"Samir" He hummed and sat up on bed looking at me.

"can you help me rem-" I was actually trying to sound decent.

"No" He said and dropped himself on the bed again.

My lips slightly parted at how rude he was being, but I tried again.

"Samir I just want you to unhook this necklace for me" He still didn't budge. I am not very patient person. I huffed and walked to the door. I can have his mom help me.

Right when I twisted the knob he spoke "where are you going?" I looked at him and saw him walking towards me. I didn't say anything but kept looking at him.
