"Really? Kapoor?", I said making an awkward face.
"Yeah! What's wrong?", she asked.
"Nothing. I mean, Kapoors are kinda gentle type. Isn't it?"
"Yeah, he is gentle."
"What? But you said he killed his dad."
"He is only aggressive. But, he is gentle too."
"But...", I was about to say something when she interrupted me, "But, what?", she said.
"Okay fine.", I said being tired of arguing with her.
"Anyways, how do you manage being happy despite of so many things?", I asked.
"Don't know. I'm kind of a girl, who will cry for once and then smile the other second even when there is something critical."
"Wow!", I said, raising my eyebrows.
She smiled.
"And don't you use social apps?", I asked remembering that, I searched her so much in social sites but couldn't find her.
"Oh not at all. I feel they are boring.", she said making a face.
"Really? You are a very different attitude's girl.", I said. Really who doesn't like using Internet? I thought.
We had a long chat in the car. Then, I dropped her in the hotel she was staying in, and went to my hostel.
Sid and Jeet were already in my room, playing video game.
"So how was your date?", Jeet asked.
"Good.", I smiled and sat on the bed.
"Only good. Didn't you dance or kiss or did something else?", Sid said smirking at me.
"Common. Where to do such things?", I glared at Sid.
"Really? If you wanted some space you could've told me, I would've booked a room too.", Jeet said and winked. Sid and Jeet giggled and Hi5-ed.
"Common stop smirking. We ate, had a talk and then came to our places back.", I said and glared back to Jeet.
They both smiled. But, then I remembered something.
"But, there is a problem?", I said shrugging.
"What?", they both asked in unison.
"She is engaged to a don, unwillingly.", I said.
"What?", they screamed together, and stood up.
"To a don?", Sid said. "Engaged?", Jeet. "Wait! What?", Sid. "No.", Jeet. "But, how?", Sid. "Why?", Jeet.
"Guys, stop!", I screamed getting irritated by their fast words and synced voices.
There was a pin drop silence for a second.
"But she said she loves you, didn't she?", Sid said breaking the silence.
"Yes. But didn't I mention 'unwillingly'?", I said.
"Oh yeah!", Sid said and sighed. We all sat down on the bed. The game they were playing was now flashing 'Game Over' on the large TV screen.
"OK. But, how was she forced?", Jeet said.
I told them the whole story of Kriti. And when the they heard that she was Johnny Sanon's daughter, they almost fainted. But, then they sighed when they came to know that, her father wasn't the problem. The problem was with Arjun.
"And now what?", Sid asked.
"I will go to New York after the competition and will try to solve the problem.", I said.
"Really? You're gonna fight against that mad guy?", Jeet asked.
"He isn't mad. He is just aggressive.", I said, like Kriti did.
"Seriously? You're supporting him.", Sid said.
"Yeah. I mean no. I just...", I was about to continue but sighed. I was confused what to say. I actually was supporting him but didn't meant to.
They glared at me, expecting me to continue.
"I am going to bed.", I said and jumped on my bed. I wanted to be alone and think how could I make through all these troubles.
"Oh common.", I heard Sid reacting at me. I didn't reply. I heard the game start again. I could guess that they had started playing the game again.
Soon I felt asleep.
Next morning, I woke up and called Kriti. She said she had some work in an abroad agency in Dehrahdun, which would take a day's time. So I attended all my classes. And then all the leisure time I spent in the gym preparing myself for for the competition.
From the next day, there was a total leave for everyone to prepare for the IQ test by themselves. The leave was of a week.
I went to the library. Taking a huge pile of books I sat on the table and started reading all the general facts. Suddenly, a message appeared on my phone. I dimmed the phone and saw whose it was. The message was from Kriti.
hey vd..can u pls call me ryt now..? The message said.
I immediately called her. She received the phone at once.
Kriti: Hey Sir. Yes sir I am in the office. Sir he isn't accepting my form. What sir? You wanna talk to him? Sure sir.
She didn't let me speak even a word. Suddenly I heard a voice of a man.
Stranger: Hello?
Me: Hel- Hello.
Stranger: Sir the form that Kriti gave me is not in the right order. I don't think so I can accept it.
I was blank. But then I lit up with an idea. I guessed that she wanted her 'whatever' form to be accepted.
Me: It's okay. That's just a matter of formalization. Accept it without any objection. Or I will kick you out of your job.
My heart was thumbing like anything. All I could wish was to go right. If I had just mistaken anything Kriti would be in trouble.
Stranger: Okay sir.
Then maybe the stranger had handed the phone to Kriti.
Kriti: Thank you, sir!
Me: Kriti, what's going on?
Kriti: Okay sir, I will call you later.
The call ended. I was very confused what was going on. But then I kept my phone aside and concentrated on the book that I was reading.
Again after a minute there was a call from Kriti.
Me: Hello?
Kriti: VD, you saved me today. Thank you so much.
Me: What was that?
Kriti: I had an important form to be submitted. As I was coming to India, when he heard that I was coming to Dehrahdun, he asked me to submit the form. I didn't even wanted to hear his voice so I called you. Anyways, you made it through. You are genius.
Me: Yeah! Yeah! I know that. Thanks anyways.
Kriti: Anyways, VD. When are we meeting?
Me: I will pick you at 5 PM in your hotel. Anyways, how come you started calling me VD?
Kriti: I like calling you VD more than Varun. It's pretty much short. And you know I am lazy number one. OK bye!
Me: Bye!
I smiled and ended the call.

WRITER'S NOTE:-
Wow! Varun has a good sense of humour.
Anyways, guys should I write the whole competition, or should I end the competition writing only about the finals? It's all your wish. I would write the whole competition I get more votes for it. And if I get more votes, to end the competition in just one chapter I will write the finals only.
Love you all!
