STUBBORN HEARTS

15. Settling the thoughts

It feels like I'm going to get burdened soon, it is weighing me down."
He chuckled at her response. And she have a weak smile in return.

"Don't worry.
It is your sister's wedding. Enjoy.
Stop with your overthinking."
He said patting her head.

Soon a car zoom past them, only to stop at a fair distance, and drive reverse.
And a tall lean figure to step out. It was Vihaan Shergill.

"And here I thought, I will have to bear with typical nagging aunties throughout the ride." He started as soon as he saw us and proceeded to give a hug.
What an exceptional way of greeting.

A throat clearing was heard nearby, resulting in vihaan's  arms hanging midair, as he observed our big brother in his overprotective brother stance.

He rubbed his neck trying to get rid of embarrassment.
The girls tried to stifle theor laughs.

"Hello, Mr. Dhaliwal.
Nice to see you again."
It appeared to be an awkward reunion.

Surjeet nodded at him.
"I assume, you are here to pick and drop my sisters safely at the resort."
Vihaan nodded at him stiffly.

"Be careful and safe, alright.
I'll be back soon.

If anything happens. Just call me."
He Instructed looking between Vihaan and us. Okay.

They left at the same time, the girls with Vihaan and Surjeet in his cab.

*****

Navneet's pov:

"He is so intimidating.
I was going to almost faint there."
Vihaan said as soon as we sped away.

"Well, he is just overprotective.
It must have something to do with some history between you two."
I was at the passanger seat, and couldn't help but defend my brother.

"It must be just a misunderstanding, don't be bothered."

But I am curious.

"Please, never let me flirt again with you girls please.
I hope he forgets about this. Soon.

I don't want to be in his hitlist. Again."
I laughed at his remark.

"So, how is your best friend, Vihaan?"
Simi asked, finally after sorting out her matters, with Ruby.

"Which one, bhabhi?
Your fiance or your crush?"
Simi blushed at his remark.

She has a crush, that I don't know about?

"I thought, we had established her crush finally as our official brother in law.
What's going on?"

"Heyy,
Don't exaggaerate, okay.
Aman already has my heart and soul, but a girl can dream, alright.

Plus, he is going to be my brother in law, and I am satisfied with that."
Simrat said nodding to herself. Cringy.

"I second that.
Mr. CM is such a hawt piece."
It was Ruby, the one and only,
What nonsense.

"Puhlease, there is nothing even good about him.
And
I've seen better."
I just can't hear him being praised.

"Woman, do you even yourself."
Ruby said.

"Yes, I do.
And you won't want me to get started on his personality. Such an arrogant being, selfish pompous ass."
I huffed, folding my arms.

"Navneet, do you even know him that much to conclude such things.
He is a great and the most selfless person I know."
His best friend talked.
As if I am being Judgemental, I have experienced it first hand.
