Their marriage was arranged when they were kids but they had avoided each other at every point of their life.
What will happen when their parents finally decide to get them married? Will the ignorance soon turn into love or will they have a loveless...
"Papa I am home"I said as I entered the hall. "Good get ready quickly we will leave for Dinanath's house after that" I heard my papa's excited voice. I looked at my watch it's just 5 in the evening "What's the hurry isn't it too early?" I asked. "Yes yes it too early we should go there after they set the table, eat ,wash our hands and come back right Siddhant??" I heard a voice here's comes my mom dressed in a beautiful red saree passing sarcastic remarks to me. "OK mumma got it I will go get freshen up and then we will leave"then I left for my room to get ready. After almost 15 minutes I was ready till then anusuya returned from her college and quickly got ready then we left for Dinanath uncle's place. SSR's outfit:

It took us almost thirty minutes to reach there and I rang the bell but none opened the door I rang the bell again but still none opened the door I glanced at my parents and my sister who was completely engrossed in her phone with a smile on her face that looks suspicious seems like she is texting someone. "Anu"I wishpered and suddenly the door opened and that's when I saw her Miss Diya Mehra and finally I could connect the dots "SHE WAS DINANATH UNCLE'S DAUGHTER " "And the one my parents want me to marry" my inner voice mocked
I composed myself and entered their house I have been here as a kid but it was a long time back looks like they redecorated the house the garden is still there the main hall as soon as u enter the house on its right side there is the dinning table with quite a lot of dishes for us I guess and behind the dinning there is the kitchen from where Dhanushree aunty came and the staircase from the middle of the hall which reaches to all of their bedrooms. As I was looking around after sitting on one of their sofa I saw Anusuya talking to Avinash and Diya as they used to meet in different functions so they are quite close I guess but that's not the point Anusuya seems too close to Avinash and the way he is looking at my sister... There is something going on I guess I need to talk to her afterall she is still a kid yes she is 24 but still!!
Then my eyes settle to Diya by the way she is looking at them I think Diya guessed that too.Did I forgot to mention she was looking beautiful no not beautiful but breathtakingly gorgeous in the white anarkali with black prints she was wearing . I didn't realise I was staring at her till she looked at me and smiled. Wow that's the most beautiful smile I have seen and subconsciously I smiled back she then averted her gaze.

After talking for some time we were sitting on the table having our food still engaged in small talks when suddenly Papa said something out of the blue
" Now that you all are back to Mumbai we can finally prepare for their marriage"
As soon as my father said that Diya and I choked our food Anu and Avinash patted our back and gave us water. After few seconds we were fine and looked at each other awkwardly. "But uncle we have just moved in and I still have to settle down with my job and all" Diya said. Good point Diya I said in my mind. "Ohh yes Dhanushree bhabi was talking about your job with me this morning do u need any help with it" "No no uncle I already got the job I will start from tomorrow" she answered "Which company are u going to work for?"Papa asked again and I looked at Diya "Your company" she wishpered And there goes the biggest smile I have ever seen in papa's face "Oh so you got a job as Siddhant's PA That's very nice. So must have already talked to each other right?"my dad asked. "Nahi Papa it was just a formal interview" I said and papa nodded By the time dinner was already over and we were all sitting in the living room "Diya beta why don't u show Siddhant around the house and the garden afterall he has been here after a long time" Dhanushree aunty suggested I know what they are trying to do. Diya nodded and signalled me to walk towards the garden. I guess we will need to find things to talks about afterall. "So u got the call from the HR department right?" I initiated the conversation "Yes that's how I knew I got the job" she answered in a duh tone She is still quite frank I guess "So when did u return from London?" She asked this time "Almost two years now"I answered "Are u going to work from your office or the Malhotras now that u have taken over their company?" She asked again "I will be working from my own company and you will be working from there too" I answered "Ohh"she sounded somewhat unhappy?? "You don't want to work from my office?" I asked genuinely curious "No it's not that" she replied "Then what is it?" I turned towards her "Nothing really" she wishpered I furrowed my eyebrows ans she sighed "It's just our parents want us to get married and it may be quite awkward working with you" she said in a breath So that's what she has been thinking all this while I mentally smiled "It's won't be that awkward if you can be professional enough to not let your feeling for me affect your work" I said calmly moving towards her "What do you mean by Feelings For You??"She shouted this time "The same feeling which u thought will make our work relation awkward" I took a step toward her again as I teased her "Hey I never said anything about feeling I was just talking about our parents" she started defending herself an I smiled "So u don't have any feelings for me?" I acted serious "No" she answered with the speed of light "And even if I had feeling for you I am not stupid enough to confess on our first meeting" she added "But stupid enough to fall in mud right" I laughed as I remembered how she fell in mud on her way back home when we were kids "You still remember?" She asked surprised "Of course I do it was too funny to forget" I laughed and she was getting annoyed. I remember how I used to annoy her when we were kids and she would run to my dad to complain about me with innocence in her eyes. Her eyes gosh they are more beautiful now. Its a full moon today and I can bet her eyes look more beautiful than the moon. Unknowingly I took a step towards her I was just too lost in her eyes that I didn't know what was happening to me and then she took a step back we were quite close now I took a step towards her again and as she lifted her feet she hit a flowerpot and I realised what I was doing. I moved back and mentally cursed that bloody ghamla (flowerpot) "I th-think we should go" Diya said and moved back without waiting for my answer Ok I wishpered to myself and went back.
