Shishir's POV.

Absentmindedly I answered the phone as it rang without checking the number. "Hello?"

"Hey Shishir! How are you?" the happy sounding female voice surprised me making me check the screen of my mobile.

The landline number of my Delhi home!

"Varsha Bhabhi?" I asked still surprised at her call "I am good." I smiled wondering what made my sister in law call me today.

"I am wonderful!" she exclaimed before giggling into the phone. "Oh sorry you did not ask." She giggled some more "Incase you wanted to know I am wonderful, amazing. Can I speak to Suvarba?"

"What?" I took a second to connect to the steep change in topic. I was used to her bubbly and over enthusiastic often non coherent conversation but this was unusual even by her standards. "You called on my mobile to speak with Suvarna?" I asked.

"No I did not. But now I want to." She bubbled on and I smiled. There was no changing her. "Hold on. I will take the phone to her."

"No need. I have already messaged her. She is coming to you."

"Oh?" I blurted in surprise. "Oh." I conceded aware I was sounding like a bad echo of my own words.

Just then Suvi entered my study and I smiled at her pointing at the mobile in my hand. She shrugged to say she did not know what was going on either and took the phone from my hand.

"Hello." She smiled into the phone sitting down on a chair opposite me.

"Oh?" she said raising her eyes to my face. "Okay. One minute." She said and got up and sat further away on a couch.

What the hell? I got up but she stopped me signalling silently for me to not get closer.

This is crazy!

"Really?" Suvi yelled making me involuntarily cover my one ear with my hand. "Oh my God! Wow! This is the best news." She gushed. Then once again raised her eyes to my face before frowning "Oh? Okay. Okay. Don't worry I will not tell him."

What.the.crazy.hell?

Obviously I am the one who is supposed to be 'not told.' "That is my phone you are using." I said feeling grumpy.

"Shh-!" she hissed scowling at me before turning her eyes away and smiling again. "Aww! Vikram Bhaiya is so adorable."

Eh?

"You are married to the best man on earth."

Enough.

He is my cousin brother but I should be her best man on earth.

"Excuse me. I am trying to work here." I said pointing at the closed file in front of me.

"Be quite." She hissed at me.

Who me??

"Just hold on okay. There is too much disturbance over here." Suvi pointedly glared at me before stomping out of the room with my mobile.

What was so secretive that I had to be hushed and shushed and have her bang that door on my face? Almost.

Should I go after her? I can always pretend I have stepped out for a refill of water, I mused looking at the still almost full bottle of water on my table.

The door to my study opened and Danny trooped in unannounced. I raised my eyebrow he never enters without knocking at least once.

"Good afternoon." He said looking surly.

The raised eyebrows of mine scrunched into a frown. It was barely nine in the morning!

This of course means there is something bothering him.

Danny is a person who is clear on his priorities and very well organised. Professionally, personally as well as emotionally.

But known to only few close family and friends he has a weird tendency to lose track of time when something really upsets him. And he was rarely upset and if he is it's only for emotional reasons.

I eyed him intently as he sat down.

"Do you need some coffee?" I asked and he shook his head.

"No, just had dinner about half an hour back."

Okay so something definitely was upsetting him. "Tell me what is it?" I demanded without beating about the bush.

He gave me a long grave look before pulling out a glove from his pocket. A hand knitted grey glove.

"I found this in my living room." he said "And this was inside it." He showed a ring. "This ring belongs to Betty!"

I looked at him not sure yet what he was saying. "Dude the gloves are too big to be Betty's. They are obviously some man's glove." He emphasised.

"Oh." I said softly and picked up the ring. I was beginning to see what he was getting at.

Suvi came back in right then "Good morning Danny." She said cheerfully placing my phone on the table. He nodded still looking grim "And you should learn to be less nosey." She said pointing an accusing finger at me.

"Nosey??" I spluttered. "My sister in law calls on my mobile and demands to talk to you and the topic is supposed to be a secret from me. And I am nosey?"

"Family can be such a big pain." Danny groaned and Suvi raised an eyebrow at him.

"What happened to you now?" she questioned him slanting a quick glance in my direction.

Danny and I exchanged a look and briefly told Suvi about it. She had strange smile on her face.

"You have no idea who this man could be?"

"Not yet. But I am going to find out. Since she has not told me herself I will also not ask her. She may just evade the topic." Danny said "Shishir for few days I will let Rahul do the major work on the cases I have in my hand. That way I will have more time."

A knock on my door sounded and Rahul entered. Danny quickly briefed him the details he needed to look into and he got up to leave.

Suddenly Suvi perked up "Rahul I found these under Shishir's table." She said pointing at the glove.

Why was she lying?

"Oh! So this is where I dropped them." Rahul said smiling "Thanks Suvarna. I have been looking for them since past two days." Rahul shoved the glove in his pocket and strode out.

I and Danny sat there frozen in shock while Suvi gave us a smug look. "See? Mystery solved!" she said snapping her finger for effect.

"Rahul??" Danny choked out.

***

"What the hell is your problem with Rahul?" Suvi asked me as we stepped out of my study and walked towards the kitchen.

"The man was after you just few weeks back and now he already likes another girl!"

"He was never after me. Some of our family members had thought we would make a good pair and he was okay with the idea." Suvi said defiantly "Though you always used to get jealous of him for no reasons."

"I did not! Shishir Mehrotra is never jealous." I gave her a dark scowl.

"Ha!" she huffed as she started chopping salad. "Besides I think Betty and Rahul have a crush on each other, nothing serious has developed between them yet. I mean where does the poor man have any time? Between you and Danny you keep him busy throughout the day."

"He is the Mogammbo of everyone's love life." Paresh said sourly coming into the kitchen right then.

"Don't blame me. You are too sissy to confess your love." I retorted knowing he was referring to the video call from three days ago with Prema.

The ass had almost died when I had joked with Prena about his comments and instead of confessing had got busy side tracking the topic.

"Sissy Pushy." Suvi commented.

"No one loves me."Paresh wailed picking up some slices of tomatoes from the plate Suvi had placed them onto and shoved some into his mouth.

"Stay away from these." Suvi hissed as he started reaching for more.

"So what did Varsha bhabhi tell you?" I interjected before these two could start off again. I was dying of curiosity anyways.

"She asked me not to tell anyone- yet." She looked at me with a naughty smile. "Call up Vikram Bhaiya if you are so eager."

"Oh there you are Shishir and Paresh ." Anuj said coming in there. "Congratulations guys. Vikram just called to give me the news."

What is going on? I looked at Paresh who was trying to fleece another slice of tomato from the plate and shook my head. I doubt he had even heard what Anuj said.

"I can hardly believe. My best friend is going to be a father!" Anuj commented going towards the fridge and I spun around in his direction.

I turned a shocked face in Suvi's direction and she gave me a shrug and smiled.

"It's double celebration time." He continued as he pulled out a can of orange juice and went and stood near Paresh."You know with Prema's marriage being almost fixed-"

Paresh gave Anuj a stunned look for this. "Which Prema?" he asked looking dazed.

"Which Prema? Do you think we have a dozen Prena kept in stock?" Suvi said shooting him a smug look.

Paresh stood there staring at the tomatoes he had already picked in his hand. He shoved them to an  amused Anuj's hand.

"Do you want to tell me something?" Anuj asked his eyes twinkling. He placed the orange juice on the counter and turned completely to face Paresh.

"Yes." Paresh said softly then gulped "I will buy you a lot of tomatoes."

"What will I do with them?" Anuj asked trying to stifle a laugh.

"Pushy what is wrong with you?" Suvi laughed ruffling his hair. Without a word Paresh gave a sheepish grin and hugged Suvi.

I saw Anuj and Suvi steal a naughty look and almost chuckled. Suvi must have told Anuj about Paresh and Prema and he was obviously messing with my brat of a cousin.

Suvi gently pushed at Paresh and tweaked his cheeks. "Call her silly." She laughed softly.

I moved forward and caught her wrist and dragged her out of the kitchen my heart pounding happily.

"Is this what you had been hiding?" I demanded. "why could you not tell me about what you spoke over phone?"

"Your sister in law was probably feeling awkward to tell you and wanted your cousin to be the one to do it" Suvi laughed. "Vikram bhaiya had dialled that call to you but just then got another call so she ended up speaking to you without him."

"What the hell is there to feel awkward about it?" I mused.

"Come on Shishir  it happens."

"What do you mean? When you get pregnant will you feel awkward to talk?" I said and when I got no response I turned towards her.

Where did she go?

Just then I realised what I had actually said and a smile pulled at my lips. I had just blurted it without really thinking and Suvi must have bolted away.

Suvarna's POV.

The man has absolute no sense about talking! I ducked behind the couch just in time before he could see me at it.

Holding my breath I waited for him to step out of the room. After a few moments I heard his footstep as he left the room and peeked out slightly from the side of the couch.

Sighing is relief I saw he was not there in the room. I retraced my step in a backward crawl and jumped when I bumped into something.

Sishir!" I gasped when I realised he had not left the room but had sneaked in behind me and was crawling on the floor like me.

He was laughing silently and I felt my cheeks heat up even more and I squatted on the floor with a thump.

He sat down shifting closer to me and opened his arms wide. Smiling, but not able to meet his eyes I leaned into his arms and he pulled me into a hug.

"I love this rare sight of my shy Suvi." He whispered into my ear and I smiled putting my head into the crook of his neck.

"I have something very important to ask you." He said but did not continue talking

"Shishir what are you planning?" I asked pulling away slightly.

"Nothing. I am attending a marriage and I want my beautiful fiancée to come with me."

"Mariage?" I asked in surprise.

"Don't worry not ours." He gave me a naughty smile and I gaped at him. "I am not planning to rush you into marriage- but how do you like the sound of Mrs. Shishir Mehrotra?"

"I am not coming anywhere with you." I said pushing at him trying to hide my flushed face.

He turned me around in his arms so that my back was pressed to his chest "No marriage till you re open your father's hotel." he said softly making it clear he knows what I want and I smiled.

"But still how does Mrs. Shishir Mehrotra sound - for the not so near future?" he asked bringing his mouth close to my ear.

I hugged him in response but could not contain my grin.

Pre cap Chapter 93.

Shishir's POV.

I stared at my grandfather. "Why do you want to leave?"

"Shishir my child. This had been a visit. I really had a great time but I had to go back at some point." He said patting my back gently. I swallowed a lump in my neck not saying anything.

"Don't worry this time I will not keep away from my family." He said gently. "You arrange our tickets. I will check on Sharma. He had gone to ask Suvarna to start packing her stuff."

I stood there shell shocked as my grandfather stepped out of the room.

See you soon guys in the next update.

Buh bye till next time.:)
