Arranged Love (Completed)

Chapter 10

Ahana's P.O.V

Its 9 pm.

He hasn't texted yet.

Why hasn't he texted yet?

My phone rang. Was it him? I ran to get my phone.

It wasn't him.. I was a little disappointed. It was Nidhi who called. Shit. I told her I would call her back after I finished dinner. I picked up the call, "Hey Nidh-" "YOU SAID YOU WOULD CALL!" she cut me off. "I know. I'm so sorry! I just finished having dinner-" she cut me off again, "Of course! Your mum called my mum half and hour ago to talk about you and Rehaan. I know you finished your dinner half an hour ago Ahana! Don't lie!"

"You're right. I'm sorry. I was just so caught up with things..." I tell her. "You can make it up to me," she said. Something in her voice told me she was up to mischief. "Okay..?" I ask uncertainly.

"Its not anything big. Maybe you can let me sleepover today?" she asked. "Uhm okay? But why suddenly though?" I ask her suspiciously. "What, I can't come over now?" she asked. "No no, you can. No problem," I tell her. "Okay good! cause I'm right outside your house," she said cutting the call. Of course she was right outside my house when she made the call! No surprise here.

I sigh and go downstairs and open the door. Nidhi came in smiling. "Nidhi beta! Here to sleepover?" mum asked her. "Yea aunty," she replies and then goes to my room. I follow her. She jumps and lies down on my bed. "So, what happened toda-" she was interrupted by my phone which beeped.

Before I could get it, Nidhi took it much to my dismay. "Oooh lover boy's calling! Maybe I should talk to him cause you know I haven't spoken to him at all..."

"Nidhi no.. Please no" I plead. But no she doesn't listen. "Hi!.. No I'm not Ahana. No no you've called the right number. I'm Ahana's best friend Nidhi," she says. Oh god. What if she says something embarrassing?

"Ahana is right next me," she says. "Do you want to talk to her?" She asks him. She looks at me and smirks. Uh oh, something isn't right. "Why do you want to talk to her?" she asks. After a pause she says, "You just do? Oh c'mon! There must be a reason!"

"Stop it!" I whispered to her. She mouths 'how about a no?' "Ohh you want to talk to her cause she's going to be your wife! You said yes Ahana?" she asked me. My cheeks started heating up. Did he really say that? "Yup," she told me. Did I ask that out loud? "Yes you did," Oh.

"She's blushing. What all did you guys do?" she asked teasingly. I hid my face in my pillow out of embarrassment. Who knows what he must be thinking about me? "She really likes you," she said. My eyes widened. What the hell?! I tugged at her arm roughly and glared at her. "Yea she told me that," she continued. "No I'm not lying. She likes you and wants to marry you. She described you as a 'hot piece of meat', "

Oh My God.

I snatched the phone from her and cut the call. I was way to embarrassed to talk to him. "What is your problem?! He probably thinks I'm some freak now!" I shouted at her. "Nah. He seemed happy to know that you liked him," she said coolly. "But I never said that I like him!" I snap. "You don't have to. Its pretty obvious," she said.

"How?" I asked her. "Well for one, you blush every time anyone mentions his name. Two, he's handsome. How can you not like him? and three, you didn't call me because you were waiting for his call. You always call me when you say you would," she said. Damn! Was I that obvious?

"So yea. Don't even try denying it. I'm your best friend," she said. I sigh. "Fine. I might like him a tiny bit," I confess. She snorted. "A tiny bit it seems," she mumbled under her breath. I heard it but chose to ignore it.

"So you going to call him back?" she asked. "I don't know. I mean its so embarrassing," I say with a sigh. "Dude. You should call him," she says. I don't know. Maybe I should tell him that Nidhi was just messing with him. "Okay. I will. But you should go downstairs while I'm talking," I tell her. "Fine I'm going! Jeez," she said leaving the room with her hands up as if she were surrendering. She's such a goof.

I take a deep breath and take my phone. I look at my contacts and stop at Rehaan's. Okay this is it. You'll have to talk to him someday Ahana. I keep telling myself. I pressed the call button and waited for him to pick up the call. He picked up the call on the third ring. "Hi!!!" a ..girl said?

Okay..?

Uhm Hi. I'm Ahana-" I was interrupted by her. "I know bhabhi! I'm Aisha speaking. Rehaan's sister." she said. Ohhh. "Oh How are you Aisha?" I ask her politely. "I'm really good. But I'll be better if you marry my brother!" she said.

Whoa! I blushed when she said that. Thank God no one's here. "Uhh...," I said unsure of how to reply. She laughed. I could hear a groan from the background too. "My brother likes you bhabhi (sister-in-law). He was upset that he couldn't talk to you but was happy when he spoke to your best friend cause he found out stuff he liked," she said. 

Oh freaking munchkins. They all heard what Nidhi said?

"Shut up Aisha! Give me back my phone!" I heard Rehaan say to I'm guessing Aisha. I heard her laugh. "Okay bhai (brother) I know you miss her voice. I'll let you guys talk now," she said with one last giggle. My cheeks were burning up more than ever.

I heard some shuffling and finally he spoke, "Ahana?..."
