Arranged Love (Completed)

Chapter 2

At the Malhotra's

"Aap aa gaye? (You've come back?)" Malini asked her husband.  "Yea. Met Sukh at the temple and we both went to meet panditji," he said.

"How is he? Did Ahana tag along?" she asked him again.

 " He's just the same. Ahana didn't come with us. I don't think she knows yet because Sukh said he'll ask her and then let us know her decision," Ram said.

"What did the Pandit say?" Malini enquired.

 "He saw both their kundalis and said it matches really well. And he said it is better if we get Rehaan married before June," Ram answered.

"Rehaan is getting married?! When?!" Aisha yelled running down the stairs. Her father explains the whole matter to her.

"Ohh! Do you have her picture??" Aisha asked. "Yes. I do," her father says removing his phone to show her Ahana's picture.

"She's really pretty!! Rehaan and her will make an adorable couple!" she practically shouted.

"Uhh what's going on?" they heard a very familiar voice ask. "Rehaan!!!" Aisha shouted hugging her brother. 

"Rehaan? I thought you were coming two days later?" Ram asked his son. "Ya dad but the other meeting got advanced and it got over yesterday so here we are!" he answered.

"So Sanjog is here too? Where is he?" Rehaan's mother asked him. 

"I'm here mum! My asshole of a brother left me there to carry even his bags," Sanjog said. 

"You guys must be tired, freshen up and I'll serve dinner," their mother told them.

Rehaan's P.O.V

I go to my room and freshen up. I wear a pair of tracks and a shirt and go downstairs. I see mum and Aisha setting the table and go to them.

 "Do you need help with those?" I ask Aisha. "Nah! I'll have my bhabhi(sister-in-law) to do it soon" she said smiling cheekily. 

Uh what? Bhabhi? Is Sanjog getting married?

"Am I missing out on something?" I asked. Aisha just laughs and mum smiles. Okay what's going on? 

"What is Rehu missing out on?" my annoying brother asked. I glared at him. I hate that nickname. 

"Oh about me getting a bhabhi," Aisha said frankly. Sanjog and I give each other a questioning look.

"You're getting married?" I ask my brother. "What?! No!" he said looking shocked.

Then who? 

Wait a minute.. 

"I'm not getting married," I stated, just in case they had some wrong information.

"But you are!" Aisha said. What? I'm getting married? When was this decided? And to who?

"Stop it Aisha. Let's all eat first and then sit and talk," my mum said. Okay then.

While we were having dinner,  Aisha kept smirking at me like she knew something I didn't and that something definitely concerned me. After dinner we all sat in the living room. 

"Okay what's going on? I'm done with the knowing looks ya'll are sharing. I want to know too!" Sanjog said.

"Today your father met up with Mr Sukh Chauhan. Do you remember him Rehaan?" mum asked me. I vaguely remember. He used to be a very nice person. I nodded. 

" Rehaan you are 27 years old. You aren't getting any younger, neither are we," mum said.

 Where is she getting to? 

She continued, "Sukh has a daughter. She's around 3 or maybe 4 years younger than you. Beta(son), she is perfect for you. Your father and I want you to at least give her a chance, get to know her and if you two get along well then maybe you can marry her."

Whoa! I mean I do want to get married and stuff someday but now? 

"I haven't really given it much thought ma and I don't know I just-" I was interrupted by my sister. "She's beautiful Rehaan! You should at least meet her!" 

Okay so was this whole thing planned? 

"Yes son, I think you should give it a try. I know Sukh very well and they are a very  good family and honestly Rehaan, I don't think you will be able to find a better girl than Ahana," dad told me.

Ahana. So that's her name. I remember a little about her. When she was around four or five, I had met her. She was cute with two pigtails and a muddy frock holding a doll. I never really got to meet her after that as all of us shifted to London. I didn't know dad was still in touch with her family.

"I have sent you her photo on WhatsApp. Do check," dad said.

"She's totally your type bro. She just finished her masters (grad school) and also got a job. She definitely doesn't lack in the looks department and I'm pretty sure she's a nice person," Aisha said.

"Ya man! Its time you get someone else to annoy." Sanjog teased. I glared at him. "Stop it Sanjog. Rehaan let us know your decision soon," dad said.

I went to my room and lied on the bed. I remove my phone and checked WhatsApp to see the photo dad had sent me. As I was looking at her photo, my annoying-as-hell brother jumped on the bed beside me and peeked into my phone. 

"Wow! She's hot!" he said staring at her photo. I smacked him on the head. "Oww what?! Don't tell me you don't find her hot! Actually if you don't, that's cool too cause I don't mind having her" I hit him on the head again.

"Stop it man! It hurts! Don't deny it! Aisha was right, she is beautiful!" he said.

"She's okay I guess.." I said. Who was I even trying to fool? She looked gorgeous! The cute girl with two pig tails and a muddy frock had transformed into a beautiful girl with captivating brown eyes wearing jeans and a red top with a denim jacket. 

"'OKAY'? You call that 'OKAY'? What is even wrong with you? Wait actually everything is wrong with you," Sanjog said annoying me. I hit him again making him run to his room.

Maybe I could give this a go..
