"Of course I win." I grinned, patting Arsal's cheek. "Beta, football main baap hoon main tumhara."

Shayaan grinned. "Stop bullying him now, Ro. He's about to get married."

"And you didn't win alone, you gadhay." Harris Emaad told me. "I was on your team." 

"But I did the hard work." I shrugged.

"Ro, pittay ga tu ik din, yaar." Shayaan shook his head at me, laughing.

*"Ro, you'll get beaten up one day, mate." 

Tomorrow was the mehndi ceremony of Arsal. To avoid disturbance and inconvenience to our grandparents, the wedding functions were organised in a hotel. From tonight, until the day after the Valima, we were going to be staying at the hotel. I was on annual leave, and I was feeling a little more relaxed, looking forward to spending this time with family- not that I would admit it out loud. Dado and Dada Jaan were going to make brief appearances at the functions, but would retire to their hotel room as soon as they felt tired.

Suddenly, I saw Yamna gesturing for me to come over from the side alley of the Tariq family home. 

"Liverpool will definitely win this time." I started up the debate, causing the guys to get into a heated argument over it.

With a cheeky grin on my face, I walked away. As I approached Yamna, I took her hand and walked further down the alley and out of sight of the guys. I then pressed her against the side of the house, trapping her between my arms. "Kya baat hai! Aaj chupke chupke milne ke liye khud bulaya aap ne?" 

*"How amazing! Today you yourself called me to meet you sneakily?" 

I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers. At first she replied back eagerly, but then she pushed me back.

"I need your help." She said. "And you're sweaty." 

"I was playing football...like a pro. Of course, I'm sweaty." I grinned. "What do you need my help with?" 

"There's a problem." She looked worried.

"What's wrong?"

"I am an idiot. Rohaan, I read the submission deadline for a coursework wrong. It's tomorrow instead of four days from now." She winced.

"Oh s**t. Have you at least finished it?" 

"No..." She sighed. "For the first time, I didn't finish something at least a few days in advance."

"Wait... tomorrow?" I asked. "But we were all going to the hotel tonight."

And the hotel was nowhere close to Yamna's university.

"I can't go tonight." She admitted what I had suspected. "I need to finish the coursework and submit it tomorrow. The deadline is two in the afternoon." 

"Weren't you going to the parlour with the ladies at two?" 

"You see my problem now." She groaned, closing her eyes. "Mama is going to kill me for this. How can I be so stupid?" 

I thought about solutions to her problem for a few moments. "Look, get working on the coursework now, immediately. Finish it up. I'll drive you to your uni from the hotel tomorrow morning and you can submit it. Is there no way to submit it online?"

"No, I have to deliver it physically." 

"Okay, then I'll drive you tomorrow. Just finish off the coursework today."
