What's this relationship called?

(11)

Saira:
I had walked furiously towards my room and locked myself.
What does this Nikhil think of himself?From the first time I have met him I have only met him with insults.
I was still breathing really hard.I couldn't sink the fact that my parents were ready to let me marry him.
And most importantly,
Why him?
I hadn't realised when my eyes started watering and my tears were flowing.
It was when I felt saltish drops of water at my lips and my cheeks were wet I remembered I was crying.
I was so not feeling like apologising.

Third person:
Nikhil stood in shock.Had that girl just slapped him?
How dare she!
His mind at this stage stood at confused feelings.
Two days ago,he was cheated by his girlfriend.And now,he was being arranged to someone who he totally disapproved.
She is arrogant,she slaps anyone,insults anyone and...
For a minute,he wondered if he was giving his own description.
He sighed.This was not how he wanted his life.
As funny it may sound to some people,his dream was to become a normal employee who had a normal family.
He wanted his wife not to be perfectionist but to love him.
This was his dreams when he was small.Yes,this boy had dreamed of a fairytale.And believe me,it is nothing to laugh.
And then all it took one night to change.
Now,priorities had changed.All his dreams,the normal dreams he called now had shattered.
Now,he had to maintain a perfect image.
He had a business to maintain,etc..etc...
His mind drifted how much things had changed.
He took his car,messaged to his sister that not to bother him for some time and there he went off to long drive.

Saira's missing went unnoticed as it was quoted by everyone as'Sharma gayi bechari!' Or 'oh she must have felt shy!'
Saira had changed into her comfy pajamas and a t-shirt.Her hair was not bound by any hair band.
She liked sweet melody of music that was being played on the fm radio.She appreciated the silence of night and sweet melody as she drifted off to her deep thoughts.
How her life has changed.From being a nerdy kid to gorgeous dancer.Not her words,but media had written about her.
She smiled at the sweet memories as she thought about it.
She tried to avoid the bad memory.Actually there were barely bad memories.
Mostly it was about when she was a nerdy kid.
She gulped as she realised that hardly anyone had noticed how she liked to create illusion of life.
She sighed.
Suddenly she heard some movements.
She turned around and was shocked.
It was freaking 2 am and there he stood at her window!

Nikhil had thought deeply about it.
He knew one thing,if it was anything,Saira was perfect for what he wanted.
Not he meant as something he wanted but how his parents wanted and how his reputation would be upheld.
She was independent,had moral values(though he doubts),beauti-(coughs)looks ok and knew how to behave with media as her family too belonged to same background.
He was too impatient for this to happen.
So,he decided to drive at Kapoor's mansion.
He wasn't surprised when the Kapoor mansion's guard was snoring peacefully,he had snuck inside easily.
But to reach Saira's room,he had to climb through pipe to reach her window.
To cut short the story of how difficulty it was to climb,he had a bruised arm.
He didn't expect Saira to look so beautiful at this moment and neither her eyes to be red.
He felt a pang of hurt but he thought he had more important matters in hand.

Saira gasped shocking at the sight in front of her.
Nikhil stood there with bruised arm.
She ran to her drawer to take out her first aid kit.She made him sit.
Thankfully Nikhil was not drunk or grumpy.
She easily did the bandage part but cringed when she had to apply Dettol.
She looked over at his face.
His eyes looked bored,dark circles were there.She sighed as she remembers how her brother looked the same during his stressful week.
So she  simply asked him,"Why?"
His neck snapped towards her in such a fast movement that Saira feared that he would break his neck at this speed.
She knew she was weird.
He stood up and said in a calm voice,"Marry me."
She looked up at him if he was joking.
No way,he wasn't joking.
She said sarcastically,"Of course,I will marry you as you have proposed me oh wait commanded me in the most romantic way.Oh wait!Most unromantic and moronic way."
He glared at him and she glared at him.
She finally spoke up again without breaking her eye stare with him,"What's the catch?"
He smirked.She wasn't such a idiot he thought.
Until she slapped him softly though,again whispering to him,"So is this marriage a game for you?Mr Nikhil Malhotra is it?"
She said in a hushed voice but it had the intensity of mixture of storm of disappointment and sadness with curiosity.

Nikhil stayed silent for a while.He replied,"I don't believe in marriage."

Saira rolled her eyes.It was a typical clinched line said by many men.

He spoke when she stayed silent,"Look Saira!There is no denying we had fair share of denials and betrayals.In my case betrayal worked and in your case denial.I mean we know what happened when last time that boy visited."

Her eyes widened.How could he know this?

Nikhil maybe sensing her doubt continued,"Don't worry, Aunty told me."

She remembered again and sighed.She was tired and frustrated to be said truly.

But she wasn't ready to be married like this where her husband thinks marriage is game.

Hence,she stood up and said,"No,Nikhil.I am not ready.Not atleast when you are thinking like this."

He sighed.He knew she was different.What had he expected?That she will jump up with joy?

He nodded and this time he exited Saira's home by sneaking out by the front door,thankfully without scrapping anything else.
