Sameer's POV

I didn't go to the office, I felt gloomy all day. I spent half of the day simply sitting on my bed and playing video games.

Prateek Bhaiya left me at mom's place last night. He even called me twice in the day and tried to cheer up my mood.

I even threw this mobile away and sat there in the balcony staring at the beauty of the city in evening lights.

"Sameer" Mom came hurriedly with her mobile in her hand. I looked at her knitting my eyebrows. I didn't say her anything, she too didn't ask me. I felt relieved. Truly I am not in a mood to give any explanation.

"Niyathi called me and she wants to talk to you. She said your phone is not reachable."

"If possible make a call to her," She said keeping her mobile in my hand.

I checked her call list and saw few calls from Niyathi, I grinned a bit.

Isn't she angry with me?

I sat there looking at mom's mobile.

Why did she call mom?

Why did she want to talk to me?

Does she want to scold me?

Why didn't she say anything to mom?

I sat there thinking about her alone, all the best and worst scenarios could happen.

I heard mom's mobile rattling again dragging out of the chain of thoughts.

"Niyathi" I sighed looking at the name of the caller.

My hands are shivering a bit, I waited for ten rings to pick the call.

"Hello," I whispered.

"Hello, Sameer" She spoke in a cheerful tone.

I got surprised for a second, I can't expect this from Niyathi. I thought she will never talk to me again in my life but to my surprise, she called me and talking to me in a happy tone.

I took a second to give her a reply.

"Niyathi". I couldn't stop blushing.

"I have been calling you since morning" She complained like a typical wife, making me chuckle.

Now I know how will be our married life. The thought itself brought an instant smile on my face. How good it will be to have her beside me all the time.

I couldn't stop chuckling at her cute complaint. I couldn't stop blushing at my silly thoughts.

Such a magician she is!

"I am sorry, I am not well, I have a headache from the morning." I lied after a second.

"Are you okay now? Did you take the medicine?" She asked me in a desperate tone making me felt sad for lying at her.

She looks really concerned about me, my health.

"Yeah, I am fine," I said happily.

"I even went to your office for you as you didn't lift the phone." She said slowly.

"Really?" I couldn't stop myself shouting in excitement at her statement.

"Yes!" She mumbled shyly.

"I am sorry I should have messaged you" I too mumbled back at her in guilt.

I hide here at home and this made her come to the office. I felt weird at my own behaviour.

We didn't talk for a second, We are just listening to each other's breath.

She gave me so many surprises today and I love her more for this cute surprises. She is truly a mystery.

"I want to invite you to Nikhil's Birthday party for tonight. Even aunty will be coming to the party" She is asking me in a pleading tone breaking the silence.

I am blushing so hard and I felt extremely happy. I am smiling goofily all the time.

"Okay, I will come" I spoke after a second, I didn't bother to ask her who is Nikhil. I just want an excuse to see and talk to her. I don't want to lose this opportunity. I just want to kiss her forehead and tell her how much happy I am.

"I invited Swathi and Prateek also, My Dad and sister want to meet you all." She surprised me again. Such a pleasant series of surprises after a gloomy night.

"Oh! That's great" I said imagining her face, I just want to see her gleamy eyes, they might be sparkling with joy and excitement.

"You know Swathi promised me that she will come to the party with her husband Prateek." She is truly unstoppable, she is really excited about this meeting. I can listen to it in her voice.

"I will surely come, Niyathi," I assured her.

"Thank you" She thanked me quickly.

"See you in the evening, Niyathi, " I said and cut the call.

I sat there thinking about last night.

Who is that guy that helped Niyathi?

He literally dragged her away from me?

And she didn't talk to about it at all?

Even after seeing me in that fragile situation Niyathi didn't stop talking to me.

Moreover, she seems so happy and she wants to introduce me to her family members.

Ah! I am really confused now and at the same time, I am happy too.

I picked up my phone and saw a few missed calls from Prateek Bhaiya.

I called him immediately.

"Hello" Swathi Bhabi picked the phone.

"Hello Bhabi" I greeted her.

"Aren't you ready yet? Niyathi invited us to the party, right?" She asked me with so much of excitement in her voice.

"I am getting ready Bhabi, before that I felt making a call to both of you," I said sincerely

"Don't worry everything is fine. Prateek told me what had happened yesterday If she is angry with you she will not call invite us to this party. "

"Moreover, she wants us to meet her family. She wants to introduce us to them it seems. I am really happy about it." She too answered me honestly.

"Thanks, Bhabi" I thanked her.

"Prateek said Niyathi even came to office in the morning" She paused for a second.

I felt very much disturbed for disappointing her all the time.

"She is working hard to make this relationship happen, Sameer" She continued.

"Please, Keep all your insecurities aside. She just needs some time to express her feelings more freely." She is trying her best to put some sense into my stringent heart.

"I can see that Bhabi, I will surely wait for her acceptance," I assured her.

"That's my boy," she said affectionately.

"Ha..ha..See you at the party Bhabi, Mom too will come me with us," I informed her.

"That's great, Even I asked Prateek to come to the party. It is a good chance to learn about her family" She said.

"Yes," I mumbled and cut the call.

"Niyathi you are truly unfathomable and mysterious," I said staring at her picture on my phone.

I have a sigh, stood up and took two steps ahead.

I saw mom observing my every move standing there at the door, leaning to the wall.

I smiled at her trying to hide my blush.

"You are still a kid" She ruffled my hair and pinched my cheek.

I laughed at her comment heartily.
