Viraj Singhania is a cricketer.
Aslesha Mathur is a kathak dancer.
He doesn't care about anything and anybody.
She is really kind and helpful towards everybody.
Parties, girls and scoring double centuries is his life.
Papa, novels and ghungroos are...
"Eww! Mai? Aur teri girlfriend. Chee" Megha says and makes a gagging face. I glare at her.
She is my best friend. My neighbour in Mumbai and also a really good businesswoman. She has a line of her own skincare products and runs her own company. She doesn't take any crap from anyone, especially not me. She hates cricket and sabse jaruri baat.. has a boyfriend.
I look at him. Mayur. He is sitting on the couch and playing some game on my laptop.
He looks at me and just shrugs to which we both roll our eyes. He is one of my best friend too and is a professor at a university. They both live-in together and are are polar opposites but they are so much in love.
Mayur said that he has no problem with my plan. In fact, I feel like he's enjoying it.
"I told you just for tomorrow" I say.
"Mujhe kya milega badle me?" she asks.
"Khushi?"
"Pagal samjh ke rakha hai kya?"
"Kya chahiye tujhe meri maa?" I ask her joining my hands.
"Mere product ki free me ad kar de" she smirks.
"Chal nikal tu. Ja wapas Mumbai" I say and turn away. She doesn't stop me. Kya ladki hai. I turn back again to look at her.
"Tujhe pata bhi hai mai kitna charge karta hu ads ke liye?" I ask.
"Ha pata hai. Isliye toh boli free me kar de" she says and sits on the couch, flipping her hair.
Bitch.
"Half rate. Take it or leave it. Ladkiya meri girlfriend banne ke liye ulta mujhe paise dengi" I tell her.
She thinks for a while. "Done" she says and shakes my hand. Pehle se hi plan kar ke rakhi thi ye jaroor.
"Tu mere baare me almost sab jaanti hai so kuch mushkil nahi hogi" I say. Mayur puts her hair behind her ear and kisses her temple to which she blushes.
Megha never smiles. She's never soft to anyone. Except this geek here.
"Fine. Toh kal hai cocktail party. For god's sake behave nicely towards me. Peena bilkul nahi. Make our act believable" I say and she huffs.
"Ya whatever. Me and Mayur are going now to explore Goa. Chaabi de tere gaadi ki" she says and I give her the keys. Do din iska ghulaam bann ke rehna padega.
I give Mayur a kaise-jhelta-hai-isse look and he nods in sympathy. They leave and I sit on my couch and nibble on the cold pizza.
Pari came today early morning before these two arrived and dragged Aslesha with her for preparations. I miss her food. I miss her.
Mayur and Megha are the only people who know about my past. How she cheated on me and shit. I remember that drunk night when I blabbered my whole history geography to them. They just listened quietly without giving any of their opinions and stuff. From that day onwards they became by best friends.

*Aslesha*
I look at myself in the mirror and then turn around to look at me back. It's completely open. Completely. I don't know why I selected this dress. It's not my style at all. But I just felt like I had to wear it today. Especially with this open back.
And it has nothing to do with Viraj.
