"Start speaking or I will tell our other friends about it. After all, we care for you. " Shaurya threatened me.

" I needed to show someone that I am already in a relationship with a girl. " I explained.

" Why?? " He asked me.

" Because she has developed a huge crush on me. " I said.

" Wow!! That's great!! So? What is the problem? You don't like her? She is not good? " He asked.

Idiot!! As if he doesn't know that I am with Myra.

" It's complicated. " I said.

" Oh, it's complicated? Open your laptop and join us on a video chat. " He said and I did that. They both were sitting there.

" Tell us about this complicated matter. " Shlok said.

" Nothing, there is a very sweet girl, but she developed a crush on me. " I said.

" Oh, sweet!! So have you tasted her already? " Shaurya asked and I lost my temper.

" Shaurya, shut up!! Don't say anything about her, or I will break your jaw. " I said in a higher tone.

He whistled!!

" Oh!! She seems to be special to you. " Shaurya said.

" Shlok tell him to shut up and get lost or I am not talking to you either. I will solve my issues on my own. Thanks for your help. " I snapped at them.

" Ok, fine!! Sorry!! Don't get so worked up now. Tell us. " Shaurya said in a serious mood.

" Well, this girl has developed a huge crush on me and... "

" She told you that?? " Shlok asked me.

" No!! But she had just started the topic when you called up. I didn't want her to talk about all this So I said all that to make her feel that I was with someone else. I needed to make her understand that I am not interested." I said.

" Why do you need to pretend?? You could easily tell her that you are not interested. " Shlok asked.

" She already knows about my girlfriend, has even met her. Still, she is not convinced that Myra and I are in love. " I said.

" That's her problem... Why are you so hell-bent to show her that you are not interested in her?? Let her believe what she thinks. Just tell her you are not interested in her. You sounded almost desperate to me on phone. " Shaurya said.

" It's not that easy... I told you, it is complicated. " I said.

" What is the complication?? Do you like her?? " Shlok asked me.

" No! Not in the sense you are asking. " I replied.

" Then what is the issue?? Let her go to hell. You can't help it if she loves you. See, if a girl has a right to say no to a proposal made by a man and we should respect her decision, so we also have a right to say no, right?" Shaurya said.

" Shaurya, please shut up! " I said closing my eyes. And pressing my head.

" What is bothering you?? We should know the problem, only then we can help you. " Shaurya asked.

" I don't want your help. "

" Ok, I would not say anything, take Shlok's sane advice. But talk to us! " Shaurya said.

" I don't know what to say. " I said.

" What do you feel about her??" Shlok asked.

" I don't want to hurt her in any way. " I said.

" Then talk to her. She would understand. " He said.

" Somehow, I think, she would not understand. " I said.

" And what do you think about Myra?? " Shlok said.

" I want her in my life. She is everything I wanted. But... " And I explained what she said to me.

" Well, she is right, if you want her in your life, you need to make her feel special. " Shlok said.

" Hmmm. "

" Don't worry we would come up with an idea to solve this issue. You just think how are you going to tell Viren and Sujal?? " He said.

" Yes, I have been thinking, but it is difficult," I said.

" See, Samar uncle was Sahil chachu's best friend. He fell for Swati Bua ( paternal aunt). He was scared that my dad and specially chachu would beat him but they both were very happy because Samar uncle is a gem of a person. I think, even Viren and Sujal might also be happy as we all know you. You are a simple family man, who has never flirted with girls. " Shlok said.

" You think so?? " I asked.

" For a change, even I think so. You are handsome, very decent, cultured dedicated, well educated, well settled, filthy rich, belongs to a reputed family and above all we all know you since we used to wear diapers. So if I had been in Viren's shoes, I would have been happy to have you as a brother-in-law. Hell !! You even have a helicopter of your own. " Shaurya said. Shlok nodded.

" Thanks for the vote of confidence. Please help me in convincing them. But as of now, I want to make Myra believe that we are meant for each other. " I said.

" Ok, this is my department, give me some time. I will help you in making her realise that you like her a lot. " Shaurya said and smiled at us.

" Thanks, you are not that bad. " I said.

" But you need to promise me two things... " He said.

" What?? "

" One, You will never shock us again like you did today, my twin might have fainted. " He said.

" Done!! I promise... " I laughed and said.

" And the second one, you need to introduce me to that sweet girl. Is she beautiful?? "

" No!! Not acceptable. "

" Why?? You are not interested in her. Are you? "

" No, but you will stay away from you. She has gone through a lot in her life. I don't want any complications in her life. "

" Ufff!! Are you really not interested in her?? Because you are being overprotective about her, your behaviour is a bit weird. " He said.

" It's just that she is very innocent and you are... Well, you are... You know what I mean.". I said.

" That is too much... Now I want to know about this girl. " He said.

I didn't like the way he said that.

" Good night!! " I said.

" You can't leave the conversation like that. " Shaurya said.

" I am very tired, my day starts at seven in the morning. Good night! " I said.

" Ok, sleep well. " They said bye to me.

I called Myra after that and talked to her for a few minutes, she seemed to be a bit better. She loved the flowers she was getting every day.

" Thanks for the beautiful bag you sent me. But Manik, you don't need to send me gifts to make me feel special. I just want to feel the warmth in our relationship. " She said.

" I am planning to come and meet you, very soon. " I told her.

" I am looking forward to it. " She said.

" Same here, I want to show you how much I want you in my life. I have been thinking of you a lot these days. I am missing you a lot. In fact, I realised that we haven't even kissed till now. That's weird... I want to taste those beautiful lips of yours. " I said.

" I remember that you were about to kiss me on New year's eve, but you ended up pecking that irritating girl, instead of kissing me. I swear, she was weird. And I don't know how, but she turned up on our next date too?? I hope she doesn't come between us this time... She spoilt our two dates. Stupid girl, I don't want to meet her ever again. " She said, But I could not react to it.

" So, what else do you like, Myra?? " I wanted to change the subject.

" What are you asking about?? " She asked.

" Your preference in movies, food, music, holidays etc. We need to know each other well. " I said. She started telling me and I tried to make a mental note of all that.

" Manik, Viren is calling me, I need to go. Missing you, come soon. Bye, good night." She said and disconnected the call.

I was not feeling sleepy, so thought of having some warm milk, it was my Chachi's remedy. So I went downstairs.
