What Is Love

Chapter One

"Morning!!!"I heard my sister scream in my ear.
"Uugghh"I groaned as I rolled to the other side of the bed, covering my ears with the pillow. I heard a loud booming from the television in our room, and felt her jumping on the bed,
"Supriya...."
"Get up! Get up! Up!" I finally took off the duvet on my face holding a put for her
"Todays his concert,"she said. I looked at her, confused.
"Whose?"
"My superstar, future husband, I love him sooo much, "
"Again, who?"
"Varun you dumbass."I rolled my eyes at her, she has posters of him all over her side of the room, she's too obsessed,with the drama king, I sat up in bed wiping my eyes. "That is why, you will come with me,"she said, I widened my eyes.
"Who?"
"You. Add won't let me out, except his very good daughter which happens t be you, is with me, so pleeeassee"she begged.
"No! I have studying to do,"
"No!"she said. "Youre always studying, and you returned from school few days back, please, please, please, please, please. Pleeeeeee"
"Fine, fine, I'll come, I'll come, gosh, you're so persistent. "I said to her and she giggled.
"And you're driving, since you've got the license, bye."she ran off before I could counter, I shook my head and finally got out of bed, to the bathroom. Dad must have gone to work already and same with Raghav, after taking a shower, I laid on my bed, thinking of my plan for the day, except going to a stupid concert. I mean, who acts and sings , and and and....gosh! I received a chat from Tanya, my bff, same school from grade one, our families are bonded, she's more of an social bird than I am. She said she'd be coming home for our projects. I replied to tell her okay, then went down for break fast.
"Supraabhat maan"i said to mom as I did the usual greeting, she replied by placing her hand on my head,
"Bless you child."she said, that smile of hers never fading.
"Where's granny?"
"You know her, she's probably at the temple,"
"Which? Her usual? "
'Yes dear,"
"And Sonia?"
"You slept in late, and woke up late, and woke up late she's in school."
"I've made sure the dishes are done mom," Zara said as she came to mom.
"Di, I'm hungry,"I whined walking to her, age difference between us is just the same with Supriya and I, three to four, but I respect her, more than anything , she nodded pulling me to the kitchen.
"I'm sure, she's dragged you to another one of those concerts of hers,"she said smiling,
"Howd you know?"
"Shes been begging your brother to drop her off, and he said, nope, except you go with her."
"Supriya...."we both said together and giggled.
"I'm sure you'll be going to the temple to meet granny, take these sweets with you,"she said smiling,putting the sweets.
"You know me so well di"I said, of course I'd go find granny,she's the sweetest. I decided to wear my red Churidhar with sandals. The driver dropped me off, I took my shoes off, and ventured to find granny. She was as usual with the priest,
"Granny,"I squealed. Going to the goddess, I prayed before sitting beside her,
"Priest, she's my grand daughter,"she said.
"Namastey Priest,"
"Namaste my child, what's your name?"
"Kareena,"I said. He smiled.
"Preist, read her palms, I want to know what future my grand daughter has,"she said.
"Granny. You know I find it hard ...."she stopped me, knowing that I'd say I don't believe in it, and she completely does.
"Hold out your right palm,"I obliged only because of granny. After studying, he looked up at me,
"Its a clear colourful one, I see happiness, but it won't come easy, you'll have to fight for it, and by that I mean you need to get ready, it's around the corner."he said, great! Granny will be giving me serious lectures on our way home about the importance of these things. Two days from now will be holi, and after that I'll be returning to school, stressful, but as long as Tanya is with me, nothing, I mean, nithing goes wrong. I nodded to the priest,
"Zara sent these,"I gave her the sweets.
"Shes the perfect match for your brother, I'm so glad he brought home the right daughter in law,""
"Of course, but we can't forget that she's as crazy as he is,"it's true. She may be all good in a Saree and all but that's because my father is so traditional minded. Once they're out on vacation, you'll know Zara doesn't take holidays for granted.
"Can we go home now granny?"
"Of course, Namaste priest,"he replied by folding his hands to us. We smiled at him, and as we went out of the temple, we gave to the beggars out front. Just then a crowd caught my eye.
"Whats going on? Granny, get in the car, I'll see whats going on,"I told her. She nodded,
"Be safe."I went over to the crowd, I couldn't see a thing, people were screaming and jumping, just then, some dark shade greeted me, I looked closer, Dhawan. It just had to be him, what would he be doing here any ways....right. I'm sure he has a new movie or a character, which involves the temple or he's just trying to impress the crowd. I twisted my mouth before heading firm the car sitting with granny,
"What happened?"
"He...that...that...superstar...uughh...I hate him,"
"Varun?"
"You know him?"
"Oh, he's the best."she said,
"Granny?"
"Yes, he has the best acting skills his performances, he has one tonight you know? He's too good, "she dramatically threw kisses to him making me giggle.
"What is it with you ladies and being obsessed with him? He's not God,"
"But an image of him,"she reminded me, I rolled my eyes looking out the window.
