OS Title: A Messed Up Meeting

Wattpad Username: @BlackManiacx

Name: Krishi 

*********

A/N: This one is messed up but clearly, I was having a lot of fun writing this. I could continue, but word limit :P Sorry if it was way too quick. 

Premise: Anika Sharma had clearly told her parents that she had no interest in marrying before she could financially support herself. They complied and went ahead with trying to fix their younger daughter, Gauri's marriage. Somehow, every guy that came rejected Gauri. After many such incidents, Rekha Sharma was convinced that nobody would marry her younger daughter unless Anika gets married. Even after much protests from Anika's side, Rekha goes ahead and talks about Anika's alliance with Pinky Singh Oberoi, a friend of hers. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, the most eligible bachelor of the country, is her prospective groom. Convincing Anika to at least meet him once, Rekha can only pray that her daughter does agree.

Gauri was busy listening to music when the door to her room was flung open, her sister walking in with quick steps, resembling a breathing volcano.

Gauri only giggled.

"You little minx. It is all because of you!" Anika started hitting Gauri with a pillow.

"What? I didn't do anything!" Gauri smiled cheekily.

"Yeah, terrifying every guy that came with an alliance with your weird antiques, on purpose, may I add. Now Momma Don is convinced it is because I am not getting married? What even!" Anika whined, plopping down on the bed next to her sister.

"If you don't like the guy, scare him away." Gauri shrugged.

Anika thought for a few minutes before an idea struck her. "Perfect!"

Anika and Gauri sat on a table each, of a local cafe. They were waiting for Shivaay to arrive as Gauri sat on the designated seat.

Anika sat on an adjacent table, ready to overhear their whole conversation, lest Gauri should mess up just for fun.

Gauri impatiently tapped against to wooden table, wanting to get over with this quickly.

Why did I even have to suggest any idea to Anika Di?

"Excuse me, Ms. Anika?" Gauri heard a familiar voice call out from behind her. She turned to find a veryfamiliar handsome man staring at her with amusement.

While Gauri only nodded, he settled on the table. Gauri raised an eyebrow, explaining to him that her sister was right there when he forwarded his hand formally. "Shivaay Singh Oberoi."

Gauri only grinned at her long-haired jatadhari. This was going to be so much fun.

It had been an exact of 4 minutes 23 seconds that Anika was trying to overhear their conversation, to no avail. She heard someone clearing their throat but dismissed it with a hand wave, concentrating to make sure Gauri manages to make the groom disagree. When finally somebody snapped their fingers in front of her Anika looked up to find a very hot blue-eyed man staring at her. Did I mention, hot?

Without being asked to, he settled on the chair right in front of the girl.

"I do not appreciate you eavesdropping on my brother's, what happens to be, a very private conversation."
