Promise to love you

She is Mine!

When Kiran saw Om and Megha holding hands, he turned red with anger.

Megha saw Shruti holding Kiran's arms. She felt as if she was teasing Megha that she had got Kiran. And she was showing her that they are very much in love.

Megha turned her eyes away as she felt bad. She did not like seeing Shruti and Kiran so close.

Just like Kiran felt when he saw Om holding Megha's hand. Megha was trying very hard to hide her emotions. Kiran's face was brimming with anger.

He stared at their hands with his eyes filled with anger. As if he would make a hole in their joined hands with his eyes.

"Hey, where do you love birds roaming?" Om asked in a teasing tone.

"Tell me, what are you doing here with Megha?" Kiran asked when she saw Om staring at her with killer eyes.

Megha immediately understood what he meant and pulled her hand back. Kiran calmed down as soon as Megha pulled her hand back.

But Om wanted to tease more with Kiran, so he grabbed Megha's hand again, pulled her towards him and put his other hand on Megha's shoulder, sticking her close to him.

"Brother, now you are getting married. Megha is alone, so from now on, I will live with her like you live. From now on she will live with me like she used to live with you because now you will be busy with Shruti." Om said lovingly while pinching Megha's cheek.

"Hey, keep your hands away from Megha, Om! Megha is only mine. It will be better for you to stay away from her. Now if you don't want to get beaten up by me, then get away from Megha right now." Kiran said in a warning voice.

Kiran freed his hand from Shruti's hand and came near Om and he removed Om's hand from Megha's shoulder and pushed Om aside. Now he put his hand on Megha's shoulder and held her in the same way Om had held her for a while.

"Brother, now you are getting married. Don't you think Shruti will feel bad if you behave like this?" Om said in a joking tone and he again tried to hold Megha's hand.

But Kiran held Megha even closer and moved away from Om's touch. Megha saw that Shruti was not at all happy to see Kiran and Megha together.

"Shruti never got upset, because she knew that Megha and I are just best friends. And whether I get married or not, you are still not allowed to touch Megha, understood my little brother?" Kiran said confidently.

This time Megha pulled herself away from him. She didn't want to make Shruti upset. Kiran clearly said that there can be nothing more than friendship between them. Megha stood in front of him to create some distance between them. Kiran did not understand Megha's behavior. So he looked at Megha with questioning eyes.

"Om is right, Kiran. Now your first responsibility is Shruti... not me. You should give priority to her feelings." Megha said smiling and went to stand next to Om.

Kiran frowned in displeasure. Om gave him a winning smile.

"What have you taught her, Om?" Kiran said in irritation and tried to hold Megha's hand again but Shruti intervened and held his arms.

"Now stop it, baby. It is not good to fight like children like this. If our parents see this, what will they think, you both are fighting like small children for a girl. Come, let's go inside. Mom, Dad must be waiting for us." Shruti said in a soft tone.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to congratulate both of you. Congratulations to both of you on your marriage." Megha said smiling.

"Thank you, Megha, your good wishes were the most important for our marriage. Now we will definitely get married." Shruti said with a big smile.

Kiran saw Om holding Megha's hand once again. Once again a wave of anger ran through his body. Om sensed this and whispered in Megha's ear.

"Did you see how jealous Kiran is seeing us together? Now see what I do, you just stay with me." Om whispered in a low voice which only she could hear.

"Hey, what are you whispering in her ear? Quickly tell me what you said to her?" Kiran tries to get closer to Megha.

"This is our secret brother. Megha, you are hungry, right? Come, let me feed you something." Om runs inside the house pulling Megha with him.

"Om… Walk slowly… You don't need to run like that." Kiran said, running behind them.

"I know, brother!!" Om said while running.

" Om, be careful… You will hurt her…." Kiran ran after them.

"Kiran, wait…." Shruti also ran behind Kiran.

*****

As soon as the four of them went inside the house, they all fell silent on seeing Asha. Asha had seen both her sons running inside. Before anyone else could see, she quickly stopped Kiran from going to Megha. Because she saw Shruti coming behind Kiran.

"What are you two doing?" Asha asked in a low voice.

"Look, mom. Bro is still stopping Megha from staying with me. Even though he is getting married to Shruti." Om complains to Asha as he keeps Megha and himself sticking behind Asha.

"Kiran?" Asha looked at her son in disbelief.

"Mom, it is not like that...." Kiran tried to say.

But Asha silenced him with her hand. Because she saw Shruti's mother coming out.

"Hey, you all came together. It's good. Now let's all have breakfast together. Then we have to go home too, to prepare for the wedding, right Mrs. Asha?" Shruti's mother said.

"Yes, of course. And you can call me Asha. No need to use formalities." Asha said with a soft smile.

"Yes, of course...." Mrs. Sathe said.

"Okay kids, let's go and have breakfast," Asha said quickly.

"We are very hungry, aren't we Megha babes?" Om said to Megha in such a way that Kiran started getting angry again.

"Kiran, you take Shruti to the dining table. Om and Megha, you also come." Asha put Shruti's hand in Kiran's hand and asked them to go.

"Okay, mom. Let's go, Megha." Om said while taking Megha.

Kiran also took Shruti without saying anything.

"Asha, if you don't mind, can I tell you something?" Mrs. Sathe asked her.

"Yes, tell me. Why should I mind?" Asha said calmly.

"Your younger son Om has also become eligible for marriage. Along with Kiran, fix Om's marriage with Megha. Both the brothers will get married at the same place and time. By the way, both Megha and Om look like lovely couples. They will look good together." Mrs. Sathe said.

"Your suggestion is very good, Mrs. Sathe. But we don't force our children. If Om and Megha really want to get married, we have no objection to it. On the contrary, I will be very happy to have Megha as my daughter-in-law." Asha said happily.

"Then you should try talking to your son. Maybe he is interested." Mrs. Sathe suggested.

"Sure... I will definitely talk to Om. But for now, let's go. What if we don't have anything left to eat." Asha said in a joking voice.

Both of them laughed at that and went to the dining area.
