Arranged Marriage To Love

Chapter 4 - Next Day

Riya's POV

As I woke up, the first thought I had was about the upcoming guests. Kapoor's. Who could they be..??? What do they do..??? For how long did my parents know them..???

Ahhh..... All these questions were eating up my brain. I thought.

I'll have to properly wake up and get ready or else I will be late. I went to my closet and choosed my black and white kurti with black leggings. Then I went to my dressing table and did my daily routine for makeup. I brushed my hair and put my hair in side puff with high ponytail. For shoes, I wore my black high heeled slippers. And I was ready.

I left my home after saying goodbye to my parents.

As soon as I reached college, I went to my first class and was greeted by my bestfriends.

We were all having nice chat about our plans for the coming weekend. That's when I casually mentioned about the upcoming dinner plans that my family has with my father's bestfriend.

******(Conversation starts here.)******

(M : Monika, A : Aisha, R : Riya)

M : Tujhe pata hai kya ki kaun hai woh log..??
(Do you know who these people are..??)

R : Nae yaar. Bas itna malum ki woh log papa ki bahut ache friend hai.
(No. I just know that he is dad's bestfriend.)

A : Awww...so sad. Janede. Aaj puchlena mom se ghar jakar. Pata lag jayega phir.
(Awww...dont be sad. Just chill and ask your mom about them after going home.)

R : Yeah. I will do that.

A : By the way, did you know that there is a big sale in a mall near my house and I was thinking of going there to buy some tops....

And just like that I was distracted from all my thoughts by their talkings and all their plans.

I was in my last class, impatiently waiting for the bell to ring, so I can go home and have that talk with my mom.

As soon as the bell rang, I jump from my seat with my bag ready and already in my hand. My friends and I were in parking lot saying bye to each others, suddenly I heard my name being called. I turned around and came face to face with Danish who has a smirk planted on his face and he was taking big strides coming towards us.

We all stiffened, actually its only my friends not me. He was one of my good friends but they,i.e my friends, think that he wants more. But I dont think its true, he is one of my good friends. He is the student president of our college with perfect grades, perfect record, perfect personality and a perfect charming smile or smirk in some cases you could say. My friends tell me that he is too perfect to be true and that he couldn't positively be content with just being friends.

He approaches us with his famous smile. I smile back in return.

"Heyya Riya. Leaving so soon. Wait for some time and we can catch up about our summer time." Danish said.

"Hiee D. How are you? I m fine. Thanks for asking." I said sarcastically.

"Jokes aside Riya. Please stay for sometime. We can catch up." He said seriously.

"Not today D. I have to go home today. May be next time." I said.

"Please Riya-" He tries to say but Monika interrupts him.

"Like she said Danish. May be next time. Now let us go." She said rudely to him emphasizing on Danish.

I was opening my mouth to tell her about not being rude to him but she sent me a look that clearly stated 'not-now' making me shut my mouth.

Danish reluctantly moves out of the way to let us go.

Aisha and Monika takes my hand and we left the college together. When we reached out, I left my friends with a good bye smile.

After reaching home, I took rest for some time and later went to kitchen to help my mom with dinner.

My mom and I were casually talking about our respective days, thats when I decided to ask her about it.

"Mom, who are the guests that are coming to dinner on weekend?" I asked.

"They are kapoor's. Mr. Kapoor is your father's oldest and closest friend." She answered.

"Have I met them before?"

"No dear, you haven't, because he and his family shifted to Mumbai before you were born and just recently, a couple of months ago, they moved back here to Hyderabad."

"Oh. So sad. Dad must have missed him a lot."

"Yes dear, your dad did miss him a lot. Mr. Kappor is a kind man with good values and beliefs. And so is his wife, Mrs. Kapoor, before they left. They both had easygoing personality. I hope they haven't changed much and are as same as they were before they left."

"Yes, I do hope so. Tell me about his family?"

"Mr and Mrs. Kapoor have 2 sons and a daughter. The sons. The first ones name is Rajveer but everyone calls him Veer and he must be around 24-25 years old now."

"Hmmmmmm..."

Why I dont know but as soon as my mom mentioned his name, my heart skipped a beat.

Oh God...What is happening to me?! I thought to myself.

"....Riya...Riya...Riya..." My mom shouted.

"Huh... Yes mom."

"What happened? Suddenly you were so lost in your thoughts that you didn't reply when I called your name so many times. Are you okay?"

"Yes mom, I'm fine. So you were saying something about the second son?"

"Yeah. Their second son's name is Aarul and he must be around your age."

"Hmm.. What about the daughter?"

"Well dear, she is a mystery. We just know that her name is Ruhi and she must be around 5-6 years old."

"Ohh..."

"C'mon on now Riya back to work. Pass me salt from the shelf."

And just like that we were back to preparing dinner.

Before going to sleep, I messaged Monika and Aisha about having chat with my mom about the guests and will tell the details tomorrow in college with a good night message.
