Are you getting married?

Mayukh POV:

She's what?! Excuse me?! She's seeing a guy?!

Once she ran out, I followed her and hid so she can't see me, I know it's wrong but I need to know what's up.

"Aai, why do you need to be so loud? At least say Hi or something first. I was in the middle of a meeting."
Her Mom replied, but I couldn't hear that.
"Okay, I'll meet him. What's his name and where do I need to meet him?"
"Okay, I'll go in the evening."
"Aai I need to change and go, right? I'm in my work wear right now."
"But.... Okay fine. I'll go now."
"Yep. Thanks, see you."
She cut the call and sighed. I saw her rush to a nearby mirror and apply a basic coat of lipstick and fix her hair before calling an Uber.

I was about to follow her Uber but Bhai called me, "Bhai! I was in the middle of something!"
"Sorry. I just need help with your Bhabhi."
"What happened to her?"
"She's fine. I want to buy her something to surprise her."
"Okay. I'll come. I'll pick you up in 10 minutes."

I sighed and cut the call. I wanted to see who she's meeting. She's mine, she can't marry someone else. I quickly texted Armaan to a check on her and get information.

~~~

After 5 hours of scouting around London, booking a venue and buying Bhabhi a gift, I finally dropped Bhai home and then came to my apartment. I brought a small yet luxurious apartment here since I figured I'd be here for longer than I imagined.

"Armaan? Did you find out?" I got on a call and asked him.
"Not yet Mayukh, they're still doing the finding, it'll need sometime."
"Shit."
"Mayukh, come clean. Just ask to marry her, properly."
"I don't know if she wants to marry me. I don't even think she wants me. She's scared of me."
"I'll get to the bottom of that. We'll find out."
"I hope so."

I cut the call and went to shower. After a warm shower, I came outside and sat and got on a call with Mom.

"Mom. I wanted to tell you something."
"Tell."
"Mom... I..."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes. It's just.... Ruyash Bhai and I... we met Nikita."
She didn't answer for a while before her face gleamed with joy, "What?!"
"Yeah."
"Oh my Goodness! Where? When? Is she okay?"
"Yes, she's fine. She's a head intern at IBM, she's successful, her work got patented today. She's living with Esha."
"Does Manisha know?"
"Yes, she met her."
"That's wonderful! God has given you two a chance again!"
"Mom she... she's getting married."
"What?"
"She's finding guys, they're looking for guys."
"How do you know?"
"Her Mom called and she was accidentally on speaker and I heard a bit."
"Mayukh, it's time to decide, either you move on or, you get her."
"How do I get her Mom? She hates me."
"Like I said, she doesn't. That letter has been tampered with."
"Oh yeah, that letter was written by Riya. I saw the letter Nikita wrote and it was much nicer."
"I told you!"
"She's still scared Mom."
"I think you need to stop worrying and start working to get her. I'm here if you need us. We're landing soon."
"When is your flight?"
"Tommorow night. We'll land Sunday early morning."
"Perfect, what about Bhabhi's parents?"
"They'll land on Monday."
"Okay. Excellent. We got everything sorted."
She smiled and I cut the call.  

I sighed. She won't accept this. I know her. She won't. If she does, then.... I won't let her.

Nikita POV:

"Hey!" A guy walked towards me.
"Hi. I'm Nikita." I introduced myself. The guy came and settled down in front of me. He seemed very arrogant. His aura screamed self obsession.
"Waiter! Who's gonna take my order?" He suddenly said. I looked at him horrified. What was that?! "Anyway, how are you?"
"I... I'm good."
"So what do you do?"
"I'm working as a Data Science Intern at IBM."
"So you're jobless?"
"What?"
"You're an intern, so what's that?"
"I will be joining them after my phase ends."
"Wonderful!"
"Yeah."

This meeting was becoming a disaster day by day. I wanted to go home. I tried making subtle excuses but he seemed persistent to stay. After two dreaded hours, he finally decided it's time for him to leave because he had work commitments. I secretly thanked God and finally left for home.

At home, once I got everything ready for bed, I called Aai. I know she's sleeping but she needed to know how horrible this guy is.

"Beta, it's like 3am."
"Sorry. I need to tell you. That guy was horrible, I can't marry him."
"What did he do?"
I narrated everything to her, "do you understand?"
"Beta, don't judge in the first instance, give him a chance."
"Why are you being so supportive?"
"Because he went home and told his mother, who told me, that he really liked you."
"WHAT?!"
"Beta, give him a chance."
"Aai. I can't do this."
"Sleep now, then decide."
"Ugh, fine."

I cut the call and went to bed, but before I could, I got a message, "Open the door."
I checked my phone, Mayukh. Is he mad to come here at 11pm?!

I ignored his message and tried to sleep when he called me.
"Open the door, otherwise I'll have to barge in."
"What?"
"Open the door Nikita."
I cut the call and went towards the door.

I opened it, and I found him leaning against the door. Why must he look so good all the time?
He entered and closed the door, locked it and then wrapped me in his arms.
I gasped in shock.

"What... what are you doing?"
"For someone who's a genius, I thought you'd be able to figure out what a hug is?"
He let go but held my hand and kissed the back of my palm.
"Movie?" He asked."
"What?"
"Movie? Do you want to watch a movie?"
"No."
"Yikes. Why the irritation?" He made himself comfortable on the couch, while I stood near him.
"Sir... why are you here?"
He got up, his eyes looked like they were darkening but I couldn't tell why. "How many times have I told you not to call me that?" He said, and he pulled my hand and made me sit next to him.
"I... I'm very sleepy."
"How was your date?"
My eyes widened. "I.... What date?"
"Come on, you and I know which date. Are you getting married?"
I froze. He's not supposed to know this much. What do I do now?
"Y..Yes."
I saw him come closer to me, "Really?" To whom?"
"A... family friend."
"Hmm...." He said, slowly taking his face on the crook of my neck, "Are you sure about that?"
"Y...Yes."
"We'll see about that." He kissed my neck and then let go, backed away and headed towards the door and walked out. I stayed still.

What just happened?
