You're My Destiny.

Chapter - 4: You hated it so bad?

Sidharth 's POV:

I was going through the notes Layla made of this morning's meeting when my personal phone vibrated.

Tearing my eyes off the notes I eyed the gadget accusingly. Sighing, I picked up.

"Hello?"

"Sidharth Khurana?"

"Yes?"

"Arav Shetty here."

Tension pricked my neck and I sat upright. Arav Shetty calling, would mean something- Important.

"Oh right, Good afternoon."

"Pleasantries, not needed. I had to remind you about the deal our fathers did." His voice laced with venom as he pronounced last words.

I so had the feeling.

"Um. Yes, I remember it. Your sister and I- I know. Does she know yet? Because it wouldn't be fair keeping her in darkness like that."

"Oh yea, she does and I bet she curses knowing the truth." He scoffed at the word truth.

So do I. Arav, so do I.

"It's so better she knows about it." I started but get interrupted by him.

"Ya Good. But I don't think she approves unless she had a one to one with you."

Of course. Neither would I.

'You talk like you have a choice, Sid.' My conscience mocked.

"Right." I replied in speaker.

"So let me know when would you have time to meet her, so I check-up with her schedule as well."

How about never?

"Uh. This Saturday? 8 pm at the Kalahari Restaurant?"

"Okay. I'll let you know." He confirmed and hung up.

I slide it in the pocket and held my head in my palms.

Why? Why me? What do I do?

Closing my eyes, I rake my palm through my hair. Just then a thought made me smile, groan a moment later wanting to pull my hair out rather.

It was the girl I saw at movies. Her smile brightening the darkness of my mind, her fingers brushing her locks behind her ear as she blushed slightly, corners of her plum lips tilting up even though she is rolling her eyes.

Oh God! She still isn't off my mind! That saying - "Out of sight out of mind" wasn't working! Who even made that!?

How the heck do I get her out in 2 days which I couldn't in 2 weeks!?

'You have to Sid! For your family and the sake of promises!' My conscience reminded.

But what about what I want? It was okay a few weeks ago when I didn't have anyone in my mind. With casual flings wasn't a problem but now this? What do I do?

Curse the day I agreed with my best friends to a movie? Curse the moment when my eyes caught her? Or curse my heart for leaping out at her smile? Or better yet curse my brain to keep her image alive for two freaking weeks!?

Groaning I punched the button on the intercom "Get me a coffee, now!"

I decided, at last, to not think about it much now and complete work, I could think about it at home -and lose my sleep over it.
