"YOU ARE NOT DITCHING ME HERE, WHEN WE ARE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FEST!" Ishqi said, almost close to yelling.

"Sorry naaa!! But it is important sacchi, vartika has come to india for 2 days just to celebrate my birthday and i cant disappoint her." Ishaan said with his puppy eyes with a hope that his sister would understand the reason behind him suddenly cancelling the plan from his side.

"Just because I love her more than you and that she has put in so much of effort for a monkey like you, I am letting you go but trust me if this happens ever again, I would mind going to the prison with the accusation of killing my own brother." She said while unbuckling her seat belt.

Vartika was Ishaan's fiance whom he met years back in his college. Boy was so whipped that he would smile and sigh even when she would do nothing other than breathing. It took him a lot of courage and motivation from his dear sister to go on one knee and propose her, afterall she was his best friend and he did not want to ruin everything in between them because of his feelings, but he was over the moon when she accepted him and his proposal and told him how he was the only man who took her heart away in the first meet. Their families embraced them whole heartedly when they opened up about their relationship the next day of their proposal. A year back they got engaged officially but a month later vartika was told to shift to london for a 2 year long training. Though she was a bit reluctant at first, the love and support she got from ishaan as well as both the families was overwhelming and allowed her to fly high to achieve her dreams. She wanted to surprise Ishaan on his birthday and thus planned a surprise trip to India and told him just now when she was done with setting up everything for their little celebration.

"I am really sorry ishi, I know you wanted to spend today with me no matter now much you despise saying it out loud, but trust me her putting in so much effort just for me makes me feel so special and I dont want her to feel that I dont cherish her in any way but the same goes for you, thus if you want me to stay I will stay and cancel the plans she will understand, you just have to say it." Ishaan said, his voice laced with utmost love and care.

"As much as I wish to hug the life out of you, I dont want vartika to wait. Long distance aint easy, I can understand and I dont want you to miss out on these opportunity to spend time together. Jaa simran jaa, jeele apni zindagi." Ishqi exclaimed making ishaan chuckle.

"I promise, I will make it up to you and yaa thank you for understanding."

"Tu jaa raha hai? Mera rona nikal jaana hai teri in cringe par pyaari baaton se. Jaa ab!"

"Okay madam, am going, bye!"

"Bye." She said while smiling, and off he went to meet the love of his life.

She sighed on seeing him leave and walked towards the entry gate while her mind was occupied with various questions, the prime among them being her non-existent love life.

"Kab tak bhagwaan ji kab tak apne aas paas ke sab logon ko relationship main jaatein hue dekhungi jab meri love life meri aankhon ke aage aatmahatya karne tak pahunch chuki hai? Harr din ek naye fictional mard ko dil dene se zindagi nahi chalti bhagwaan kab doge mujhey bhi ek asli, jeeta - jaagta aur mujhsey beintehaan pyaar karne waala mard?" She whined and complained just like a kid. She was lost in her own world when she heard a voice from behind.

ISHQI'S POV :

"Careful miss." I heard a man's voice which brought me out of my web of thoughts only to realise I was just two steps away from hitting a brick that laid their callously.

"Two steps away from accidentally hitting that brick and ending up hurting and embarrassing myself on the special day." I thought

I turned around to thank the man and when i did, Oh boy! I saw him, A nice 5'9 man in his casual white shirt paired with black pants, his hairs perfectly gelled complimented his looks already ethereal looks. Is it legal to say I felt everything all the female leads in my favourite books felt on seeing the love of their life for the first time? Those freaking butterflies in my stomach while I struggled to breathe due to the accelerated speed at which my heart was beating at the moment. Damn Ishqi, you are so gone!

AHAAN'S POV :

"Careful miss." I said when I saw a girl ahead of me almost about to hit her foot on a brick laying carelessly a little away from the entry gate of the fest, she probably was zoned out and had I not called her, she would have injured herself. She stopped and must have realised the situation and turned around.

My breath hitched, I swear it was not on purpose but something in her was so magnificent that I could feel myself being drifted momentarily from the world and walk into the world where it was just her. A girl cladded in an oversized blue t-shirt with a white pants would've never seemed as appealing to me as it was now. There was something in her eyes, in her aura that attracted me, something I could not point out but was so strong to make me feel things I never have in my twenty - seven years of existing on this goddamn planet. It felt as if the world came to a stand-still, there were no words exchanged, but it felt as if a conversation was already established between us. All that I felt was too foreign, but somehow it did feel right. Damn Ahaan, you are such a goner!
