NK threw the card on the coffee table with a lot more force than necessary. The card felt like a ticking time bomb. A disaster. He did not need to be a seer to know how will all of this end if ASR gets a whiff about this wedding.

The Oberios had done a fantastic job in promoting Khushi Kumari Gupta's work. This must be Payal's doing. Not that NK did not want Khushi to find success in life but by advertising her name in big bold letters the girl planned to invite trouble. A walking talking trouble called Arnav Singh Raizada. Making a scotch for himself NK tried to come up with different scenarios to avoid this wedding.

He knew that even if he hid the card from Arnav the man will somehow be informed about the grand wedding. The gossip mongers won't keep this detail to themselves. Word will spread. If not today then someday soon Arnav go through the wedding card. And eventually, like a neon sign, fate will push him towards, Khushi. Just like it happened before. NK heard a knock on the door and within seconds he rushed to greet his friend.

"Thank god you are here Mathur!"

"Relax! What's wrong? Is someone dying?"

Shaking his head NK went back to the coffee table and lifted the card toward his perplexed friend. And just as he had expected, within a few seconds, Aman began to sweat bullets. Comprehension dawned upon him. He read and reread the words to ensure that he was not mistaken. But the invite felt like a landmine.

"Oh, My God! Do you know what this means NK?!?"

"Everything is crawling inside me, Aman. Why do you think I am acting like a nervous wreck?"

"But...but...but...how...what...I mean...Humne Dehradun ke aas paas ke saare shehar chaan maare par Khushi..."
(We looked for her everywhere in Dehradun and the nearby cities but Khushi...)

"We should have contacted Payal Sharma."

Aman Mathur only bobbed his head in approval. NK knew that the man needed time to process this information, so he made another drink for his friend. The two sat together on the couch trying to come to terms with this new reality. The two men were not ready to deal with the typhoon, Arnav Singh Raizada.
