Author's POV:

At the dining table during breakfast-:

Divya was eagerly waiting for everyone because she want to talk about Arpita.

Everybody settled except Chirag.

He was busy on his phone call.

Divya was waiting to end his call but he was taking a long time.

Kunal noticed her and silently asked her, "What happened Divya"

"Aree nothing mein toh bas chirag ka wait karri hu"

"Chirag ke badle hamara wait karliya karo darling", he winked at her.

Shanti saw him and instantly coughed to gain their attention.

Both got embarrassed and looked at their food.

Suddenly Shanti remembered that Divya wanted to talk about something.

"Aree divya kal tumne kaha tha tumhe kuch jaruri baat karni hain sabse. Kya baat thi"

"Ha maa. Bas chirag aajaye fir batati hu"

"But bhabhi yeh toh bolo ki kis baareme hain vrna mujhse khaya nahi jayega", shruti said

"Hahahahaha.. Kitna joke karti hain. Itna toh kha liya" kabir said.

Shruti elbowed him in his stomach resulting his painful voice.

"Ouuchhh"

"Paapi.. Ese koi marta hain kya"

"Thoda halka tha shayad ek aur mardu"

Everybody chuckled looking at their fights.

Till then chirag settled in the chair.

"Abb aagya chirag abb batado kya baat hain divya", shanti said.

Everybody's gaze was on divya.

"Actually its related to Chirag"

And chirag sighed and said, "You find another girl for me right ma?"

"Yessss beta. She is-"

Chirag cut her off and said "Maa nahi karni mujhe shadi. Aap ladkiyan dekhna band kardo please."

"Aree par ek baar sun toh le"

"Please maa. Let us leave this topic"

"Nahi. Tum batao konsi ladki dekhi hain", shanti said.

"Dadi..-", chirag was about to say but shanti cut him off saying,

"Chiru hum sirf ladki ke bareme puch rahe hain. Aakhir mein tum jo bologe vahi hoga par ek baar dekhne mein kya burai hain. Kya pata tumhe pasand aajaye."

And she asked divya to speak further.

"So her name is Arpita. Actually I met her yesterday in the party. She is Anita Desai's daughter's friend. She is very sweet and calm girl. Mujhe voh dekh kar hi pasand aa gayi. Chirag ke liye bahut achhi hain."

Everybody got happy hearing it and chirag was just listening carefully.

"Agar tumne dekha hain toh koi toh baat hogi hi. Koi photo hain uski.", shanti said.

"Haa hain na. Kal hi mene anita se maang li thi photo."

She showed her photo to shanti and she just smiled looking at it.

"Bhot pyari hain."

And it was circulated to everybody and they liked it until it reach to chirag.

He was about to reject but divya said.

"Please chirag. Ek baar dekh toh lo. Mere liye please", showing her puppy face.

Giving up he took the phone and saw the photo.

And he just got stucked looking at it.

Chirag's POV:

Whattttttt theeeeee hellllll!!!

This girl.

Purple girl.

Black eyes

Button nose.

Chubby cheeks.

Curved lips.

How can she be this.

No no no..I'm dreaming.

This can't be true.

Dramatic ass, my subconscious mind said.

Wait I'm staring at her since 2 minutes I need to face them.

I looked up and saw them looking at me smiling, teasingly, eagerly.

Arpita, when mom said I swear I remembered her but didn't expected to be her.

Enough seeing. I gave the phone back to mom and acted casually as if nothing happened.

But I can see their gazes on me.

"Kesi lagi ladki chirag.", mom asked in a hesitation tone.

I stayed silent.

She sighed sadly and said, "Its ok. Pata hain tumhe pasand nahi aayi. Koi baat nahi." She said while fake smiling.

"Aap baat aage badha sakte hain", I said still looking at the food plate because I can guess their reactions.

"Sachiii..Oh my god..I'm soo happpyyy", mom said.

"But you're sure na chiru, it's not prank right?"

"Nahi majak nahi hain." And I got up and left from there because I can't see them now.

ARPITA, why I said yes I don't know but seeing you I was not ready to say no.

I said to myself.

I left for the office and attended my meetings.

I entered my cabin and saw my best friend krish sitting on my chair.

He instantly stood up and punched me in my stomach.

Painful growl escape from me but he again punched me.

"Have you gone mad. Why are you punching me?"

"Kyuki saale. Tune. Bataya nahi. Ki . meri bhabhi. Mil gayi. Hain."

And we both started resisting and punching until we were out of breath.

Finally he gave up.

"Dhoka diya hain tune saale."

"Kisne bataya tujhe"

"Maa ne. Mene call kiya tha tab pata chala. Varna tu toh mujhe direct shadi mein bula leta"

"Shut up. Abhi tak voh teri bhabhi nhi huyi hain. Abhi bas mene haa kaha hain."

"Kyaaaaaaaa...tuneee..tuneee haa bolaaa"

"Kese bhai. Aaj tak maa ne itni ladkiyan dikhayi tune kabhi interest nahi liya aur aaj haa boldi."

And he narrated the incident from yesterday's party.

"Ohhhhh..waaah bhai. Wese photo toh dikha bhabhi ki"

"Abhi tak teri bhabhi huyi nhi hain aur mere paas photo nhi hain"

"Aree ho jayegi mein hu naa."

"Tu hain isliye toh dar hain", he said in his mind.

"Wese kab milne jara hain"

"Pata nahi. Par abhi kaam karle pehle"

"Kya kaam. Kaam ko maar goli teri shadi ki baat chalri hain. Meri bhabhi aayegi. Sagai, sangeet fir shadi. Aur fir honeymoon fir tere bachhe."

I kicked on his leg and he winced in pain.

"Kaam karle. Meri family planning mein khud kar lunga."
