Cursed Love

Forty-Three

"Are you serious? That's your brilliant plan?" Rudy asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes, that's my plan. And it'll be great." Nikita shot back, "It's better than yours ever was."

"Yeah, right. Mine was amazing. We got our information, didn't we?"

"Yeah, we did, but the plan was to be subtle. You straight up just asked the fucking question. 'Come on, don't lie to me. Please. Is Priyanka Aru?'" Nikita mockingly said, making her voice deeper.

"Hey, we got the information, didn't we?" Rudy protested

"Your plan was so shitty that you went rogue to get the information."

"Shush, both of you. Nikki, go over it once more." Mini interrupted

"I overheard Aru say that she needed pictures done for the Shah-Spectre; they just had that renovation done so Bhaiya and Aru Didi want to update their website. Honestly, they went from fancy to really, really, fucking fancy." Nikkita started

"No personal opinions, just get on with it." Sheela added, rolling her eyes.

"Rude but anyways, I can just say that one of my friends just got pictures done and he was really happy with them. Obviously, Aru will be interested and ask where he got them done." Nikita continued

"But doesn't Aiden's business card have his name? Aru won't call him cause she'll recognise the name." Mini pointed out

"Yes, but, here's the thing. I'll set up an appointment for her. As far as RuRu knows, I don't know Aiden or what happened between them. I can call and make an appointment for her and Noah. This way, Aiden will have to go to their law firm and can't refuse because it's his job! Then, when he gets there, Aru will have to talk to him."

"How do you know she'll talk to him? She could just send him away." Rudy asked

"She won't; if there's anything Aru loves and values more than her family and motorcycle, it's her job. She's worked so hard to become a lawyer - not to mention a managing partner at her own law firm - that she will talk to him; purely to remain professional." Nikita explained

"You know what? That's a pretty good plan. Glad I thought of it." Rudy teased

"Please, don't kid yourself, my idiot brother-in-law." Nikita rolled her eyes

"Rude."

Rolling her eyes at the pair, Sheela said "When are you planning on doing this?"

"Tomorrow."

"What? Isn't that a bit soon?" Mini exclaimed

"Yeah but you do want them together, right? Then you guys can be together, right?"

"Right..." Mini trailed off

"Exactly, so, we might as well start sooner rather than later."

The next day, the family of five (Aru, Noah, Mini and the twins) were sitting at the kitchen table, eating breakfast when Nikita spoke up, "So, Aru Didi, Bhaiya, do you guys still need those pictures for the firm?"

"Yeah, we can't find a good photographer. They're either shitty and expensive or slightly more shitty and even more expensive." Aru rolled her eyes, "Like, what does it take to get a good photographer nowadays? I don't want a shitty one."

"Aru, please, can we watch the language? There are kids in the room!" Mini protested

"Come on, Mins, Nik has sworn worse that - besides, the twins are seventeen now. They can handle a few swear words. Besides, it's not like I said fu-" Aru cut herself off with laughter at Mini's shocked face.
