DESSERT BLOSSOM

FRIENDS

RANVEER RATHODE

My family could not believe that I said yes to girl that to on my first meet with her.

They are shocked yet happy but the annoying jerk is sitting in front of me and smirking at me from past an hour.

I asked him a few times now if he needs anything but he said he is just looking at me and not to mind him.

"Okay this is enough now. Tell me why you are here before I kick you out of my office" I asked being too done with his stares.

"Mr. Allergic-to-women has finally decided to get married to a girl whom he met just once and that is so not like you sooo..." he tells me while wiggling his eyebrows.

"So?" I repeat.

"What so? Spill the tea... I need to hear all of it..." he speaks with a pout on his face and comes close to my face.

So much like him.

Remind me again why I am even friends with this guy.

But he is one of very few people I trust so I decided to tell him all of it.

"There is nothing much to it. I had seen her in Delhi once when I was at a meeting in Mr. Gupta's company. I had seen her just for like a few seconds and after that she had been on my mind 24/7. I didn't know her name, what she did, where she lived or anything. I was just attracted to her like a magnet. After a few months, last week Mahesh pointed at her and asked me if it her and it was her. I felt alive again that is why I dragged you all along with me that day in temple just so that I would get a glimpse of her. Turns out my grandfather liked her when he saw her and went to visit her family and gave them a marriage proposal. She told she'd meet me first and then decide. My dadu happened to like her more after that and forced me to go and meet her in a restaurant. I had no idea that it was her. When I saw her for the third time in the restaurant I knew that I had to make her mine. She is the only drug that'll I'll gladly take to calm my existence." I spoke.

Prem smiled at me and said "I'm happy for you buddy".

He left since he got a call and I was lost in her thoughts again.

Her voice is just like music to my ears something I could hear for my whole life and still not be bored of it.

She is so beautiful inside-out.

Her smile, her eyes, her everything makes me wants to hide her from the world and worship her like the goddess she is.

ISHITA SHARMA

As soon as Aria heard the news of me getting married she flew to Jodhpur.

She is my best friend.

She has arrived today morning.

She is more excited than I am.

She has been asking me non stop questions about my fiancé and I'm trying my best to answer all of her stupid questions.

"I still don't get the fact that you have met him just once and you are ready to marry him?" she said this for a 100th time now.

"He is a nice guy Aru" I repeat the same thing again.

She wants to put up an argument to it but my phone rings before she does it.

It's Ranveer.

I pick up the call.

"Hello beautiful" his deep voice echoes in my ear while my bestfriend signals me to put the call on speaker and I do.
