The Substitute Bride

CHAPTER 18

Kriti's POV

I got the duo into their swimming trunks, after which they ran away from me, most probably to the swimming pool. Getting to the backyard I saw Mr. Idiot lazing in the pool in his swimming trunks. Damn, this man can become a model, he's HOT. Shit what am I thinking, I seriously need to visit a doctor urgently. 

'Well ma'am I am at your service, what do you need?' I heard a voice behind me, making me jump up in surprise. I didn't realize that I said it out loud. I turned around to see Rehan bhai. 

'You gave me a fright, don't you know you should never sneak up one someone like this. What if I had a weak heart? What if I had gotten a heart attack or something?  Plus, aren't you a businessman and not a doctor?' I said all of that in one breath. 

'Woww, your dear hubby is right, you talk too much, too fast. You don't have to catch a train' he said. I glared at him.

'He really said that?' I asked. 

'Uh-huh' he said with a smirk. 

'Anyways, to answer your questions, first answer, I know you shouldn't but it so much fun. Second answer, I am a doctor, you don't need to worry about a heart attack or anything. Lastly, yes, I am a businessman, but I am also a doctor. I wanted to become a doctor and my elder brother was supposed to take over the business but he refused since he wanted to become a doctor too. Finally, I agreed to become a doctor and then take-over the business' he answered. 

'Ohhh' I said. 

'Anyways, where is Dhruv bhai, I haven't seen him for a while' I asked. 

'Well, he had gone to change into his trunks, he seems to be taking a lot of time' bhai answered. Just then I saw him entering the backyard. 

'He's here now' I said.

'Hmm' he said. Bhai and I sat for a while looking at all of them, before bhai asked me about myself. 

'Well, what do you wanna know about me?' I asked. 

'In general, just tell me about what you're studying, yours and Sid's relationship, or just anything you want. Think of me as a brother you can rant to' he said. 

'Okay, so I am studying Law, my relationship with Mr. Idi- I mean Siddarth is basically bickering, sarcastic replies and a truce whenever needed. He is so annoying though, always smirking and showing off' I huffed. Bhai laughed at that. 

'You can call him Mr. Idiot in front of me, I don't care, it's funny actually. He's always been like this. You know once in school, he turned on all the taps in the washroom and then came to the playground with all of us. For some reason, no one had gone into the washroom for an hour after he did this. The water caused a flood in the school and led to us having a long weekend, but he didn't give any reaction, he just smirked. No one can master his smirk, probably your kids will inherit it' he told me with a wink. I blushed at that, I could imagine a young boy with his looks and my hair colour smirking.  See like I mentioned before, I need a doctor. Now I have one sitting beside me, I should just ask him. Before I could process my thoughts, I asked him. 

'Bhai, I think I am going crazy, I have been having very weird thoughts lately, this is what I was saying I needed a doctor for earlier' I said. 

'Well, about who are these thoughts' he asked looked amused, with a knowing look in his eyes. 

'Mr. Idiot' I said, then I turned red as I realised what I said. I covered my face with my hands hoping that the ground would swallow me. 

'Okay, this is a unique case. Now you don't need any medicine, like someone once told me, there is no medicine for lovesick people' he said winking once again. I vigorously shook my head denying it, but he just ignored my action.
