Picking up my cell from floor I spoke,"Mom! What are you saying?"I asked perplexed.



Abhi tou wo gayi yahan se!



"You heard me right son!Aliya has agreed to this alliance and guess what I'm coming to India from the very first flight!Let's get my son the billionaire Manik Malhotra engaged!"Mom squeaked happily.Dreams of her son getting married must be flashing in her eyes.



But why Aliya cried when I confessed my love to her?


Oho! Manik ! ullu k patthe ! Larkian bari sensitive hoti hain yaar ! Choti choti baaton par emotional ho jati hain! Tu ne tou phir tees maar kha wala kaam kia hai seedha I love you hi bol diya ! Thora tou jhatka lagega na ab bechari ko!

I pondered over mr.subconscious thoughts and my lips widened into a smile.



"Manik Malhotra!"The roar from other side made phone slip from my hand again but I caught it before it could fall.


"Yes! Yes mom!"I muttered like an obedient kid after gathering the phone again near my ear.




"Aliya ki dunya se bahir aayega tu?"She scoffed from other side and I scratched my hair,flushed.



"Nn-nhi maa aesa.."Before I could cover up she laughed making me feel more embarrassed. 




"Haye mera gudda ! Kitni sharmata hai tu ! Akhir aesa kia hai Aliya main that my son has fallen head over heels for her!"Mom giggled from other side and I blushed,like an old love sick teenager.



"Come on mom! It's-nothing like that! You are exaggerating now!"Though I stuttered but I tried to cover up.



"Oh Really?Acha fine I won't tease you ! So now start preparing for your engagement!"Her merry voice turned low at last.





"Maa?"I spoke sternly as I heard her sniff.




"What?"She cried and I smiled.



"Maa! I'm not leaving the house ! Meri bidaai nhi ho rahi maa!"I chuckled.



"I know! But my son is getting married!Cant I shed some happy tears?"She shouted first and then sniffled.




"Ro mat maa! Acha aap kab aa rahe ho main aata hn airport aapko lene!"I can't digest her tears.She is the woman who rules my heart.



"No! I'll come by myself! Tu aaraam kar warna kal function main sab par barasta rahega!"She wiped her tears and a chuckle broke on her lips at last.



"Maaaa!"I whined while tapping my foot on floor and she giggled,the most peaceful music which directly calms my troubled heart.




"Acha chal bye! Take care ! Love you my son!"




"Love you too maa! See you soon!"After blowing a kiss making her smile again I disconnected the line.




My cell beeped gaining my attention instantly.



Aliya!

A smile appeared on my lips automatically seeing a notification of text from her side.



"Mr.Malhotra! We'll meet directly tomorrow at the engagement venue!"
