Chapter 98
Sahil's POV
Mohit was saying something on the stage but I could not even pay heed to that. I kept looking at Manyata. But as people started clapping, I heard what he was saying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all the dresses and attires are there in the catalogue given to you. You can order looking from there. But 15 of my best creations will be auctioned and the highest bidder will take the Outfit away.
"
After a few minutes, they all went inside another round of summer bridal collection started and models came and went away flaunting their dresses and then the time seemed to stop when my heartthrob came wearing a very light peach coloured lehenga.
It was very nice, delicate and elegant just like one who was wearing it. She looked like a beautiful bride. My beautiful blushing bride.
Again that tailor was Standing with her. I wanted to stand beside her. Everyone was clapping. Most of the people wanted to know about the model who was the show stopper.
He introduced Manu and people applauded as most people knew her by name but only a few people knew her by face and she looked very different just like a fashion Diva or supermodel. He also told everyone about her work.
The reporters asked a few questions about their work. And Mohit replied also giving her the credit of their success.
The auction started and when the dress came which my lovely wife had worn earlier, I bid for the highest amount which was 8 lakh.
Manu was standing on the stage in the same dress she wore in the end. When that lehenga came, I again bid for it but another man kept increasing the bid. The dress which was worth about 5 lakh only, had reached up to 9 lakh.
Manu was not even paying heed, she was lost somewhere till now. But now her interest was back when I increased the bid, she must have recognised my voice.
She looked in my direction and was shocked and surprised as hell. Her eyes sparkled and she gave me a very cute smile. The bid had reached up to 10 lakh by now. Another man increased it to 10.5 lakh. I again made it 11 lakh. She looked at me and shook her head but I kept looking at her.
"
" 11.5 lakh." Another man said smirking at me. I smiled and looked at my beautiful wife. She shook her head but, I wanted her to have this one.
So I finally said, " 13 lakh. "The other man shrugged and shook his head.
The bidder counted till 3 and banged the small gong. I won that bid and with that, the auction was over as well.
"And this design goes to Mr Malhotra. It was also the dress with the highest selling price. Mr Malhotra, can you please come up on the stage?" The bidder said and I went up the stage.
Manu and Mohit were already on the stage. I stood by my Manu. She was blushing beautifully.
"Thanks a lot for your appreciation. Did you really liked them so much?" Mohit asked.
"Most of the dresses were very good, but these two looked amazing, especially when she is wearing them. My beautiful wife, Manyata Sahil Malhotra aka Manyata Singh Rathore looked like a beautiful blushing bride in them. "I said looking at her. She blushed even more. I held her hand in mine and brought it near my lips and kissed it.
The audience gave a big round of applause. I gave away the check for both the dresses.
The reporters started taking pictures of Manu. They even asked for the interview but she politely told them that she was rather busy at the moment so if they can arrange it later, it was fine with her. In the meanwhile, I was standing beside the tailor. He was smiling like anything.
"Thanks for selecting her to be the show stopper. She looked awesome." I said to him. He smiled mischievously.
"What?? Why are you smiling like that?" I asked because something was fishy.
"I can tell you something, if you promise, not to punch me and definitely not tell Manu about it." He said coming closer to me and whispered looking at her.
"What have you done?? "I raised one of my eyebrows at him.
"Promise me first... " he was adamant.
"Ok... shoot," I said finally as I was curious to know.
"I had not selected any supermodel for these two dresses. It was my plan to make only manu wear it. I wanted her to wear them. She is my best friend, I wanted her to get recognition. "You know what?? You are really a very good friend. Thank you for everything." He just shrugged.
"Tell me something I already don't know... " He said with a smile. I smiled too.
"You bought the best dresses, but do you know, the lehenga was not worth more than 5 lakh. "Mohit asked with a smile when we got aside.
"You are wrong Mohit, it had become priceless, the moment my bride wore it. How could I let a dress go to someone else, which my wife wore?" I winked at him and he nodded.
Manu was coming towards us and It reminded me of the time when she was coming for our wedding last week.
"So Mohit, now that her work is completed, can she leave with me?"
"She can if you both want to... " He said and looked at her.
I extended a hand towards her. She looked at me shyly and placed her hand on mine. We took his leave after he whispered us to use protection. Manu glared at him while I laughed and winked at him. She was a bit surprised when I asked her the directions to her room.
"Why are we going there?? Are we not going home?"
11
No, I want to spend some time only
with my bride. So we are staying here tonight. I already told mom not to wait for us." I said pulling her me as we were alone in the lift. She was blushing so much and that was driving me crazy.
I swept her off her feet and brought her to the room which was booked for her. I had requested Mohit to get it decorated with flowers and candles.
I asked her to open the door, she did it slowly and shyly. She was shocked to see the decorations in the room. It was very nice and romantic. Absolutely apt for the wedding night.
She looked at me with surprise and I smiled at her.
Mohit had instructed the hotel to do everything and it is was done very nicely. Just then there was a knock on the door and a porter brought two bags and a man from room service came with a food trolly as Mohit also sent some snacks and chocolates.
How sweet and thoughtful of him. I was about to order food. I knew manu must be hungry as she must have been busy with the preparation and then getting ready. Once the men left, I went near my beautiful wife and hugged her from the backside as she was standing there with her back turned towards me. She seemed to be nervous.
I turned her in the circle of my arms. She was looking even more beautiful today. I tipped her chin a bit upwards so that I could look at her properly.
"You are looking out of this world, my angel. " I said and she blushed even more. Oh, God !! How can someone be so shy? She would cause me a heart attack someday. Manyata's POV
He peppered kisses all over my face but not on lips.
Then he asked me if I was hungry, I
was, but not in a position to eat anything with him being so
romantic shook my head shyly but he insisted that I eat something. He evented me the snacks with his hand and as usual insisted me to feed him.
We had lots of snacks, and then he opened a chocolate and put it in my mouth. I knew he would ask me to do the same so I also opened one and offered if to him but he shook his head mischievously.☐☐
