Arranged Marriage To Love

Chapter 16 - Hidden Co-Founder

Riya's POV

Next morning I woke up late. I was running around trying to get ready and having my breakfast at a time. I choosed my red suit today. As one of the co founder are coming today, they would want a whole greeting in traditional way.

"Mom!!" I shout.

"Yes dear." She said while coming into my room.

"Can you please tie this threads of my dress?" I asked her.

"Okay. While I do that, why dont you have your breakfast?" She tells me.

"Okay."

When she finished her work on my dress, I left house with my college bag and cell phone.

I will be definitely late today. I thought.

On the way to college, my cell phone beeps.

I checked and saw that it was a message from my friends asking me where I was?

I replied with 'I will be there in 5 min'.

They replied back with 'come fast'.

After a couple of minutes my cell phone rings.

Manzilein rusva hain..
Khoya hai raasta
Aaye le jaaye..
Itni si iltaza
Ye meri zamaanat hai
Tu meri amaanat hai ha-

Thinking that its from my friends wanting to know how much time more before I reached college, I answered the call.

*****(phone conversation starts here)*****

Riya said in her irritated tone : Arre yaar, mei bas do minute dur hoon college se!! Mujhe pata hai ke mei late hoon lekin-
(I'm just 2 minutes away from college. I know I'm late but- )

________ said teasingly : Sweet girl i didn't know that you would one of those girls who are constantly late??

Riya asked with a suprised tone : Raj?? Aap(you)??

Raj : Yes! Its me...

Riya started talking fast : I thought it was my friend. I m sorry for talking like that. I won't do it again. Dont be angry at me.

Raj : Sweet girl, I'm nt angry. I was just teasing u...

Riya : Oh. So aapne call kyun kiya??
(So why did you call?)

Raj : I wanted to hear your voice so i called. Is their a problem with it??

Riya : Noooooo. I mean no i dnt have any problem with you calling me. You can call me whenever you want.

Raj : Acha(okay). So you are you running late today?

Riya : Yeah. I woke up late today.

Raj : Oh.

Riya : Aap kahan ho?
(Where are you?)

Raj : I'm just on my way to one of my important meeting.

Riya : Oh. Good luck then. I hope the meeting ends on your terms.

Raj said while his voice held mischief and suspense : Thank you sweet girl. I know in the end it will.

Riya : Welcome. Okay I got to go. I'm entering college premises.

Raj : Okay sweet girl. See you soon.

Riya : Yeah. See ya.

*****(phone conversation ends here.)

As soon as I entered college, my friends and Manvi were asking me why was I late.

I replied with simple I woke up late.
