Will Love Ever Happen!?

1

Someone catch me before I faint!!

Meera

Dad-Rise and Shine sweety. Come on! Wake up.
He said, softly taking the duvet off me.

Meera-Dad! Five more minutes. Please...
I whined, pulling it back again.

Dad-Ok Princess!! Just five minutes.
He said and I grinned.

Mom-Aakash Ji!! I told you to wake her up. Not put her back to sleep!!
I heard my mother huff.

Dad-Come on!! Five minutes wouldn't do anything.
He said, casually.

Mom-Would do everything. Singhania family is coming to see her. Come on!! She takes hours to get ready for college. Today is there first meet. Then imagine how long your Princess would take to get ready today?!
She asked, sarcastically.

Dad-Princess!! Your mother would gobble both of us with her laser glare if you didn't wake up now.
He said, frightened. But he gave me five minutes. I'm gonna use it wisely.

Mom-Miss.Meera Aakash Malhotra!! You have two minutes to get off this bed!! Or else....

Dad-Or else??
He asked, cutting her off.

Mom-I would fix this marriage even if both of you deny it!!
She said, nonchalantly and that was it. I pushed the duvet away quickly and sat on the bed with horrified, wide eyes.

Mom-That's like a good girl. Go freshen up quickly!
She said, patting my head and I nodded, lazily.
I did a quick freshen up and changed into a black tee and blue shorts leaving my wet hair free.

Bhushan-Good Morning Bela Mam!! Mrs.Malhotra is calling you down for Breakfast!!
He said.

Meera-Morning!!
I said, nodding with a smile. I went down, greeted everyone and took my place on the dining table.

Mom-Meera!! You might have to guide the party planners!!
She said as she went to the other end of the dining table placing all the sweet boxes orderly. It's not even finalised but my home is already on full swing.

Meera-Ok Mom!!
I said as l munched on my pancake. My Brother, Nakul is already smirking at me in a teasing way. Anyway!! We have lots to do Meera!! Get your muscles to work Miss.Malhotra!! I said to myself after finishing my breakfast. I walked towards the entrance as I heard the bell. I opened it with a smile to find a bunch of women in black attire. I led them inside knowing they were the party planners. After a teeny chat about the decorations they started there job immediately without any delay.

Party Planner-Mam! Should the pillars be decorated as well?
She asked.

Meera-Yeah!! I guess going simple on the pillars would do!!
I said and she nodded, smiling. I smiled in return and went around the whole Malhotra mansion giving instructions. Why do we need to do this just because a rich family is coming to see us!!

Mom-Meera!!
I heard her calling me as I wandered around.

Meera-Yes Mom!!
I said going to the living room and I groaned, mentally seeing a whole mess on the couch.

Mom-Which dress are you gonna wear Meera!!?
She asked, excited.

Meera-Anything which is not too much glittery!!
I muttered.

Meera-Mom!! That one!!
I said pointing at one of the simple dresses.

Mom-But doesn't it look too plain sweety??
She asked, making a face.

Meera-Mom it's the First Meet!!
I said, annoyed.

Mom-Alright!! This dress is it!!
She said and kissed my cheek, going away leaving me alone with the bunch of dresses so I take it back to my room. Urghhh!! I bundled all the dresses in my two arms and slowly started taking the steps towards the first floor where my room is. Keeping all my dresses on the bed. I went to my vanity, frustrated. Another First Meet it is.
I took out all the necassary items in haste to make myself look presentable before him. Maybe he would be my future Hubby. I don't know!
I looked at myself in the mirror. Not a bit interested  in marriages but they still want me to!! Maybe this First meet would be a flop!! Who cares? As if I would weep when he says a No to me. Anyway l'd be really very thankful if the guy denies this marriage. I shook my head, pushing my thoughts away. Dressing up, I left my hair loose with slight curls and makeup. I looked fine enough.
I waited for Mom but when she didn't show up after five minute of waiting to escort me downstairs. I sat on my bed checking my feeds through Instagram.
I jumped on my place startled when Mom came opened the door with a thud.

Mom-I am calling you since so long!! Come on The Singhania's have arrived!!
She said, glaring at me and I nodded smiling, sheepishly. I quickly wore the dupatta on my shoulder and went downstairs along with Mom.
She directed me to the living room intertwining our hands and I gave a formal smile as I stood before them.

Mrs.Singhania-Hello Meera Beta!! How are you doing??
She asked, excited with a mouthful of sweets and I cringed discreetly. Indeed a very warm welcome!

Meera-I... I am good Aunty!!
I managed to say and she smiled nodding. She examined me from head to toe and I nervously shifted on my feet.

Mrs.Singhania-Meera!! What are you doing?
She asked.

Meera-What am l doing?? I am standing before you Aunty!!
I said as a matter of fact. Mrs.Singhania looked at me surprised. My Brother looked at me with a wide mouth and I looked at him confused. What's wrong??

Dad-Meera is quiet humorous!! Princess they're asking you about your job?
He said and I bit my tongue. Mad girl!! I scolded myself.

Meera-I work as a Manager under the Malhotra group of companies!!
I said with a proud smile.

Mrs.Singhania-Oh!!
She said, uninterested and I was not liking the sound of it. There is some bomb she is gonna blast in sometime. Some guy next to Mrs.Singhania nudged her shoulder, looking down. He was looking good.

Mrs.Singhania-Beta!! My son is quiet desperate!! You two go and talk in personal. We will wait!!
She said, smiling. I nodded, and waited till the person next to Mrs.Singhania make a move but he sat like a statue. I looked at him confused, internally doing a happy dance. Yay!! He doesn't like me already. Most probably Mr.Singhania understood my  condition and passed a warm smile.

Mr.Singhania-Beta!! He is already in the terrace!! You can go see him there!!
He said, smiling.

Meera-Oh ok!!
I said. Maybe he is handsome!! As if I care!! I am gonna deny it anyway. Sighing, I made my way towards our terrace but the minute I looked at him. I stood there rooted by the door itself clutching the frame tightly.
Someone catch me before I faint!! Please!! Just look at him for Godsake!!
