PERFECTLY IMPERFECT [ON HOLD]

CHAPTER 1 - Preparations

(Continued from the Prologue...)

Colonel Batra's cabin (Sid's POV)

"Bro !!", I whispered to Monu ,"What is that disease in which we have hearing problem ??"

"You mean 'Hypoacusis'", she whispered back. Uff this girl and her science !!

"Yeah, I think I am having symptoms of Hy-Hype-Hypo whatever. I just heard Colonel Batra saying that we have to say we are dating Sanjana and Karan." I said to her, though I am pretty sure the whole cabin is listening our conversation. Huh eavesdroppers !!!

"Yeah, I heard that too and now shut up !!", she said furiously looking ahead. I looked at the direction she was looking at and saw Sanjana giving us an irritated glare. I gulped seeing it and suddenly I realized I have to pretend that SANJANA IS MY GIRLFRIEND !! Urgh it just got better for me !! Note the sarcasm... Here, I am trying to befriend her by not pestering her and avoiding her and now, I have to act like her BOYFRIEND !! Wow, just my superb luck...

"But why do we have to tell that we are in a relationship ?? I mean, we can say that they are our friends or something !?", asked Monu. Exactly !!! Love you Monu bro....

Faizi bro, sorry, sir put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Monami-Tsunami, there are a lot of perks of being boyfriend-girlfriends. For example, you can always be together, go everywhere together and talk to each other without anyone complaining and that's exactly what we need for this particular mission. Plus no one would doubt if you bring your bf or gf to the wedding but bringing mere friends can raise some unwanted questions which we don't want to answer."

I looked up to see that Sanjana and Dole-shole was nodding their heads reluctantly. So, I guess there isn't really a way to get out of this. Suddenly I remember something.... Mayank !! Oh crap !! He is gonna be there too !!

I turn to Monu but she's already looking at Dole-Shole !!! Okay no surprises there, but what I'm surprised to see is that he is also looking at her. Okay so the fire is from both sides !!

Dole-Shole broke the eye contact first and said in his usual no-nonsense tone, "So we are giving you Sonali's number, since we get to know you are not in touch with her or any of her family members, and you'll call her right now."

I nodded along with Monu and Sanjana gave Monu's phone to us on which a number was already written.

Monu quickly pressed the dial button before putting it on speaker mode and everyone in the room listened to the dial tone anxiously.

"Hello !!", a voice of a girl said from the other end

"Sonu !! It's me Monami !!", exclaimed Monu happily. Well, how can she forget me ??

"And me Sid G !! Yo girl...", I added.

"OMG !! Mona and Sid... Long Time No see.. I thought you both had shifted to US !?", Sonu said and I could tell by her voice that she was extremely happy but confused.

"Yup, we did, and we returned today only...", Monu lied crossing her fingers behind her back. A thing she does every time she lies !!

"Woah !! It's gr8.... Now you can come to my wedding too !!", Sonu said excitedly

"What !? You are getting married ?? And you didn't tell us ?? You broke my heart !!", I exclaimed dramatically earning twin glares from Dole-shole and Sanjana.

"Shut up Sid !! Ignore him ,Sonu !! It's wonderful !! Congrats !!", said Monu..

"Thanks, but it's not enough !! You have to come in the wedding. I wanted to invite you both in the wedding but I didn't have your number nor were we in contact.", said Sonu sadly.
