Shubh's POV

I am glad he went away. I didn't want to fight with these two girls here with me.

" Well, I think you overreacted a bit. " Vidhi said looking at me.

What ?? Does she still think that?? Seriously?

" Overreacted ?? Can't you see that he was flirting ?? " I was getting annoyed.

" Yes, you certainly overreacted and he was just asking politely if he could share the table with us. And even if he was flirting, I could handle it. I am not a child. "

I know that you are not a child... But the problem is, that you think like a child.

" Oh yes, you are not a child and you can handle everything. But you are here with us. You are my responsibility just like Sandhya. " I said.

" But I am not your sister. " She said.

Of course... I know that very well, thanks for confirming.

" Yes you are not, but as your brother is not here and he trusted me with you. So till you reach your home or your brother, you are my responsibility. Now no more discussion on this. Please have lunch. I will go and get something to drink." I got up and went to get some drink, as I was very angry now. I wanted to get away from there.

Vidhi's POV

" Bhabhi don't you think, that he overreacted? " I asked.

" Yes Vidhi, I understand, but he has always been overprotective. But he is an amazing person. " She said

" Oh, I am sure of that... It is just that he needs to relax. " I said and she nodded.

He was back with the drinks. We were having our lunch silently as he seemed to be very grumpy. Just then we heard. " Hey, can I join the trio... "

Oh god !! Both bhabhi and I looked at Shubh.

" Enough... I already told you can't. Why... " Shubh turned in an angry mood. but we saw that Bhai was standing there with a confused look on his face. We relaxed immediately.

" Hey what happened? Why are you so angry? " Now I realised, why we did not recognise his voice. He was holding a burger in his hand and was eating it.

" Oh nothing, some maniac was trying... Let it be, but how come you are here? You had two surgeries right? " Bhabhi asked him.

" Yes, but the second one got cancelled. So I am here. " he smiled at her.

I knew it, bhai would not lose any chance to be with her. I heard him in the morning that he was being very romantic.

" But how did you found us? " Shubh asked.

" I talked to Vidhi just about half an hour ago she told me that you are going to have lunch here in the mall itself, so I came here as I am free now. So is your shopping over or something is left? " He sat beside bhabhi.

" Most of it is done. " I said.

" Vikram Ji, since you are here, I think, I must take leave. " Shubh said.

What?? Why? Was he so annoyed over such a small matter? I don't understand him...

" Hey !! But why?? All of us can enjoy shopping. " Bhai said.

"Oh! I don't enjoy shopping and I have had enough. I was here because I didn't want these two to come alone. I have done my part. Now that you are here, I want to go home please."

Why ?? Why can't he enjoy with us??

" Come on Shubh, a few more hours of shopping won't hurt you, please stay with us. " Bhai said again.

" I already overreacted a few times. I don't want to anymore. both of them are quite capable of taking care of themselves and now even you are here, in case they need help. My responsibility is over." He said.

Hey !!! He sounded very hurt with what I said. Did I say something so bad that he is hurt this much? Now I was feeling bad...

He looked hurt, bhabhi hugged him and said, "But I want you to stay Bhai... " She looked sad too.

" Please stay, I didn't want to offend or annoy you. " I said looking at him.

" No, it is ok, Everyone knows, I hate going shopping... Three of you pls enjoy your shopping. "

He got up to go but bhai caught his hand.

" What happened? " He asked Shubh. But he didn't say anything.

" Vidhi? Sandhya? " Bhai asked both of us.

Bhabhi hesitantly told the incident to him. He was also irritated. I rolled my eyes.

What was wrong with these men ??

" Whatever Shubh did was perfect. I would have done the same. How dared he?? You did not overreact, Shubh. Please stay here and give me company or these two would keep irritating me. " Bhai said to him and he nodded.

Shubh agreed to stay so finally bhabhi and I relaxed and we did some more shopping. He didn't talk much after that.

We went to their home and Shubh went inside after saying bye to both of us. He took their shopping bags inside.

Bhai was keeping the bags bought by me in the car when I passed him more than half of the bags and he went towards bhabhi and gave them to her.

" These are for you... " He said with a smile.

" Oh no, Vidhi bought them. " She smiled at him.

" Vidhi bought them for you..."

"What?" She looked at me and I said, " Oh yes, these were for you. That is why I was asking, which one you like. Bhai told me to buy gifts for you... I had already done my shopping for the last few days. "

" But, I can't take all these, it is too much. "

" You can take it and you will. I have every right to give gifts to you. " Bhai said.

" You didn't have to buy these many, It feels awkward. What would I say to my parents? "

" Ok, take a few of them and we will keep rest of them for you at Bhai's place. " I said and he gave 4 bags to her.

Bhabhi looked at me and I took out a few bags from the car and gave them to him and said, " These are for you Bhai from her... " I said and smiled at both of them. He smiled like anything.

" Bhai can I go and have water, please. " He nodded and I went inside the house.

I wanted to say sorry to Shubh. He was hurt by what I said. I went inside and looked for him but he was not there. I drank water and then saw Shubh's mom and I thanked her for all the love and care she showered over me. She hugged me and kissed my forehead.

I wanted to talk to Shubh. I was feeling guilty. So I said, " Aunty, I need to go to the washroom can I go to Bhabhi's room? " I asked.

" Of course beta this is your home. You don't need to ask. " She said.

I went upstairs and knocked on his room. He opened the door and was a bit surprised to see me.

" Yes ?? "

" Shubh, I am really sorry. I didn't want to hurt or annoy you. "

" I am fine... Please don't bother. "

" I am going back home tomorrow... "

" Ok, have a nice journey. Bye, good night. " He said and closed the door.

How rude was he? Could he not talk normally? Arrogant idiot. Go to hell... I still think he overreacted.

I came out of the house... I was a bit sad.

But why?? What was wrong with me? I don't care for that arrogant man.

I hugged bhabhi tightly and said, " Bhabhi I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I am going tomorrow but I am going to miss you. "

" I am going to miss you too Vidhi. It was fun, how we shopped and annoyed Shubh. " She smiled and said. I just nodded and then slipped into our car and went home.

I went to my room and fell on my bed. I don't know why I was feeling bad.

Was it because Shubh was hurt because of what I said? Or was it because he was rude to me when I went to apologise?

I didn't know... But I was angry with him. I won't think about him. I knew that he got hurt and annoyed, but I said I was sorry. He annoyed me by being rude. I would not talk to him now.

Bhabhi's parents would also go to Jodhpur tomorrow. I would be going with them. So I did my packing and in the morning, Bhai went to drop me at their place. I didn't even bother talking or looking at him. I went to Jodhpur with them.
