"Aaj? Tumhare ghar pe? Main?"
"Sona, why are you sounding like I asked you to be an accomplice to a murder." Rohit laughed, for he was the happiest man after Sona agreed to be his girlfriend. Last night was a surreal dream for the both of them, especially the no drama man who had confession in the most TV serial way ever. "It is Pooji and Ajit's birthday, you know they love you more than me. Also, everyone else wants you here too."
Sonakshi turned in her bed, the shoot post Rohit's confession was hectic because she was blushing all the fucking time because of which they had to keep re-shooting. And the rain had made her sick already, so here she was, in bed with warm soups her mother made and warm blankets Pulkit had stuffed her in. "But, I..." She pouted, rubbing her nose that itched, "won't it be awkward?"
"Awkward?"
"Yes."
"How? You know them since a year now, they know you too. What is awkward?"
"They know me as your best friend, Rohit." She literally had to spell it out for this super genius surgeon who had zero social skills, "not as your girlfriend."
"My girlfriend..." He dreamily sighed, "wow, say that again."
"ROHIT"
"Come on Sona, you are making a big deal out of nothing, trust me. The moment I told my family that you are my girlfriend, they exchanged money."
"What?" Sona frowned, the ceiling fan was rotating slowly for Sona to catch its wings rotating, "what do you mean by exchanging money?"
"Those goofballs had placed a bet on us." That made Sona chuckle, "especially more on you rejecting me, turns out Ajit won the lot because he was the only one who knew you would say yes." Rohit shook his head while Sona felt better already. "I was upset at first, then proposed to get 50% of the money and guess who is richer now?"
"ROHIT you miser." Sona cringed, nevertheless smiling, "poor Ajit, you should not have taken money from him. What kind of a big brother are you?"
"The kind who takes what is his." Rohit adjusted the phone over his ear, rolling down the window of his car, "like right now, I am here to take what is mine."
"What?"
"I am down, Sona, waiting for you to come. So hurry up."
Sona immediately got up rushed out of her room and startled her mother and Pari who did not expect Sona to run around like that, she looked outside to see Rohit waving at her standing by his car. He also waved to Suman and Pari who had joined Sona to see what the mess was. "You are an idiot, Doctor Surgeon." She said over the call, Suman and Pari smiled at the man.
"Yours, Sona, only yours." He smiled, blowing a kiss to the three women and Sona immediately shut the window, blushing. "Now come down, so I can kiss you for real."

Sonakshi was excited and nervous at the same time to meet the Sippys. Earlier, she would barge into the Sippy apartment like she owned it, greet Rohit's mother and grandmother, play online games with Ajit and Pooja, eat whatever Akash Sippy would cook for her and have a gala time with Nishi and YK. But now, she was Rohit's girlfriend, and that made her a bit out of place. What would they say, or how would they react?
"You look cute today," Rohit interrupted her thoughts, as he slid closer to her not minding the Ravi, the driver who looked at them from the rearview mirror. "Extra cute, if I may add." Sonakshi widened her eyes, and got away from the clingy Rohit.
"What are you doing?"
He shifted even close, there was hardly any place for Sona to move now. "What do you mean?" He teased her, holding her hand and loved the way Sona's face was reddish pink, "I am romancing with my girlfriend and I don't think Ravi mind, RIGHT?" He asked the driver who nodded, earnestly. "See, he does not."
"Rohit!" She took or rather tried taking her hand out of his hold but he held it firmly.
"You wanted to date," He shrugged, tilting his head and meeting Sona's soft gaze. "Just a heads up," He leaned in closer and whispered against her cheeks, "boyfriend Rohit is ten times more clingy than best friend Rohit and heck of a romantic hopeless." He sneaked in a kiss on her cheek subtly and she lowered her gaze, smiling whilst covering her face with her palm.
"Haaye, Ravi, does my girlfriend not look the prettiest when she blushes?" He asked the driver, smiling at the girl besides him. "Yaar, kitna lucky hu main..."
"Shut up." She softly whispered but Ravi gave them both a thumbs up with a smile.
He and Shankar, Sonakshi's driver, they were the first shippers for Rohit and Sona.
The drive to Malabar Hills were pleasant, mostly because Rohit had held Sona's hand and asked her to take a nap on his shoulder so she could be well rested. Sona sighed, it was all a dream to her, from being a loner, to having a boyfriend who loved her so much. She rested her head on his shoulder, and when she shut her eyes, Rohit adjusted her hair and covered her with a comforter he often carried because Sona needed naps in the car. And Sona never slept so well as she did that evening.
Rohit took her to his room first, so she could be ready for the party which was held in their outhouse. He waited outside his room, patiently waiting for his pretty girlfriend to take her time and while he did that, Sona dressed up in a very simple salwar. Rohit did not like much of the shine and glam and she liked him, so it was settled. It was yellow salwar, a very simple net as the dupatta and her hair clipped.
"Sona, you ready? Main aa jau?"
Sona unlocked the door and found a rather amused Rohit gawking at her, surprised like he had not seen her since the last year.
"Wait, why are you staring at me like that? Did I overdo it?"
Rohit answered by pushing her to the wall, caging her by his frame and hands on either side of her, "you do this on purpose don't you?"
Sona smiled, Rohit was more of a dramatic being than she was. "Do what?"
"Look this beautiful..."
"ROHIT YOU ARE SO CHEESY I SWEAR." She cringed, again and Rohit chuckled, "you are making me regret confessing to you, argh why do you have to make me blush all the time." Rohit was already unclipping her hair, playing with them so they fell on her face, "you need to stop being such a nice boyfriend or I am going to be really habituated to you." She held her breath when Rohit inched his lips closer, kissing her hair instead.
All this while Sona wanted to kiss him, she had dreams about it too but when they were so close, it felt too surreal to her. "Rohit..." She whispered, gulping, "what... what are you...."
"Let's skip the party." He whispered against her ears, Sona had to shut her eyes and hold him a little tightly, "how about we have a party of our own?" He kissed her cheek and Sona could hear her heartbeats loud enough to deafen her.
"Right, and then I will have to spend another half hour to get my make-up and hair done." Sona pushed him away, "so no, lets go doctor surgeon." Saying she legit made her way out, rushing and Rohit groaned from behind her.
"SONAKSHI RASTOGI," He yelled at her dramatically, "I WILL KISS YOU TODAY." Thankfully none of the helpers were around and Sona shrugged turning to face him.
"Aww, but you need to catch me first to kiss me." She blew her a kiss and was out of the door before Rohit could even make a run for her and laughing, he walked behind her.
How was he an idiot to not love her first?
Sonakshi Rastogi, well, she was just his type of girl.
