Satranga Ishq

xi.

The dean descended down the stage, as loud hoots and cheers rang in the entire of the auditorium. The graduates celebrated among themselves and rejoice in the beginning of the new journey of their life.

In a corner, stood the trio, taking in all of their last moments in the college. Flashes of the last 3 years ran through their minds; the good memories made them smile and the bad memories made them frown. But nonetheless, all the memories made them sigh in nostalgia.

" So, finally it's over. " Vihaan hanged his arm around his soon-to-be fiance.

" Seems so, the 5 years, it feels like it had passed in a jiffy. I'm already missing this. " Rutuja nodded, her tone a little sad.

" It's not completely over guys. We still have a lot to do. Remember, you got your engagement next week? " Krishnangi tried to cheer up the two gloomy souls and it worked. Both of them grinned.

Right after Vihaan's injuries had healed completely, i.e. 2 years ago, Rutuja had made their relationship official. The two families were more than happy and the couple, well, they're in the ninth cloud. And now, after dating for the last few years, they're all set to settle down with each other. Krishnangi, too was excited to witness the happy ending of her besties.

" But after that? " Krishnangi frowned at Vihaan's absurd question.

" After what? "

" Our engagement. You're supposed to go back to Assam? " she sighed.

" I don't know, actually. I've come here only for study purposes, not to settle down completely. And even if I want it, my parent's decisions does matter. I can't leave them all alone, there in Assam. I have to look after them too. " being the only child, she'd certain responsibilities towards her mother and father.

" So, you decided to go back. " Rutuja stated.

" Kind of- "

" Then what about Ruhaan bhai? "

" Are you guys talking about me? " Ruhaan walked in with a lazy smile on his face. He tie loosened and sleeves rolled up his forearms.

Internship had a really taken a toll on him!

" Hi babes. " he placed a quick kiss on Krishnangi's hair. She blushed, scooting closer to him.

" You should take care of yourself Ruhaan. See, you've got so thin in these days. Dhyaan nahin rakhte na apna? " she scolded him, covering up the shyness.

" Sorry mommy. You're not there with me during the last few days na. Isiliye, I wasn't having the appetite. Why don't you join me from next time, so that I can have you- I mean, have my delicious food. " his whispered near her ear, licking her earlobe seductively.

" The way you guys are behaving, abhi tak toh bacche bhi ho jaane chahiye the. " Vihaan muttered.

Before Ruhaan could smack his younger brother's head, Rutuja chimed in, " Let's talk it over some cafe guys, Krish might want to say something too. "

Once settled, all the three of them hooked their eyes to Krishnangi, " So? "

" My parents are coming today, to- you know- kind of take me- "

" Take you back? " she nodded, eye's lowered.

" Love, do you want me to talk to your parents? " Ruhaan held her hands, " About us? "

" I do want it, but I'm scared too. I don't know what will be their reaction to it. "

" It will be positive only. Bhai is a decent man and well paid off, once he joined as a practitioned doctor. They'll be happy to get their daughter married to such a man. " Rutuja tried to release it out.

" What if, they asked you to marry me? "

" Then I'll. " he shrugged.

" You will marry me? You sure? I mean, it's not a problem if you don't. You'll get far more better girls than me- " Krishnangi was insecure now.

" Ofcourse, I'm damn sure. I've been waiting for this moment, to make you mine officially and have a family and lots and lots of children with you. " Ruhaan stretched his hands out, making the two girls laugh.

" Lots of children? Bhai there's this thing called condom. It's a rubbery, stretchable material, which you've to pull over your pee-pee. "

" Shut fuck up Vihaan. "

" I can't believe, I'm going to marry this manchild! "

" You still call it pee-pee? Chote bachhe ho kya? " Krishnangi crackled loudly.

Gradually, all the four of them fall into a pit of laughter. As the mirth broke down, Ruhaan at once become serious, " As much as I would want to do it, but I can't impose certain things on you. It's totally alright, if you don't want to marry me. And it's really, completely, alright if you still hate me, for that incident, chicken eyes. But I want your say in this case. Do you want to take this further on? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me? " she looked at Rutuja, Vihaan and then again at Ruhaan.

The eyes of the former two, held hope, while the latter one, held love and acceptance of whatever she threw his way.

Krishnangi smiled and kissed his cheek, " Today, evening at sharp 7:00 pm, I want you in my apartment. And, come like the man, my parents will want as their daughter's husband. I don't want you to disappoint me, got it? " Ruhaan nodded smiling, and mouthed an ' I love you ' while the other couple clapped.

" Another wedding on its way! "

" Hey, I've got a dhasu idea! What about, ek hi mandap mein do-do shaadi? Then, we can go on the honeymoon together too! "

" I'll murder you Vihaan. "
