No Thanks!

Home...

Shivaay was sitting by the beach. He left the wedding party earlier than usual wanting to be alone. Today was the dress rehearsals. It was going to be hard for him to see her walking beside another man looking like a heavenly creature. So he decided that this is where he will be. His happy place. He wiped his hands on the denim jeans a bit looking at the dried paint stains on his fingers.

BRIING...BRIING...

"How are you son? Why do silent today?"

"Uncle Harsh, did you know that she is engaged to Neil? They...They looked happy together..."

"Look son I really didn't  know! Are you crying early in the morning? For a grown ass man you cry a lot!" Harsh tried to lighten the mood, sensing the melancholy in Shivaays voice.

"I am happy for her old man! I truly am! You still don't know me? All I want is her to be happy..."

"I know you...You must be sitting alone somewhere now not knowing what to do next?"

"I hate you old man!"

"I love you too son! Now get off your ass and go make yourself useful! It's your brothers wedding! Enjoy yourself!"

"I am...I will!"

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

"Rudy! Hey good morning! Did you See Shivaay? They are looking for him for a suite fit on!" Ann bumped into Rudy in her baby pink maid of honour dress. Last thing she wanted was to see Shivaay looking all dapper in the sky blue best man suite. She knew his beautiful blue eyes would pop, and he'll look as handsome as ever in it. So she decided to fit on her dress before everyone else, and make a run for it before she started getting any ideas. The other day on the dance floor, she almost gave in. Thankfully, Neil came just in time. Phew!

"Bhabz!" Rudy gave her a tight hug.

"Nice to see you too!" Ann pat his back surprised a little.

"Thank goodness you are back! Do you know how much we missed you around here? How much Bhaiya missed you?"

"Err missed me? Rudy..ask your brother to come down, they are waiting! I got to go!" She turned back around to leave before he turned up.

"Bhaiya is not here!" Rudy shrugged.

"Not here? Where is he? Can you please ring him? Ask him to come back from wherever he is off galavanting?" She rolled her eyes.

"Err why don't you call him? You have his number don't you? By the way Shivaay Bhaiya galavanting? NO CHANCE in hell!!! C'mon Bhabz he has never gone this long without a girlfriend! After you left ALL he did was wait for you! Have you seen that grumpy Kat of his? She's so damn possessive, she doesn't even let me, sit next to him!"

"Hahaha....Kat sounds cute! So.... No girl friends? Really? Not even Tia? The one he got engaged to?" Ann couldn't help but be curious.

"Ohhh the business fiancé? Ah no are you crazy Bhabz?"

"So he really doesn't have anyone? Shivaay Singh Oberoi, THE playboy billionaire?" Ann crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. She felt a twinge of relief. It must be true...She hasn't seen him in the gossip columns for a while, after he resigned as the CEO of Oberoi group.

"Well I'm afraid I have taken up the title now...Bro is old news!" Rudy lifted up his collar, and combed his fingers through his hair mimicking Shivaay.

"I doubt it Rudy...You are cute...but not that cute!" Ann agreed to disagree.

"Oh come on! He's not even your boyfriend anymore!" Rudy blew a raspberry, at her.
