The Perfect Match

Family Time

When I got into my car, I heard my phone ping twice.

I pressed the home button and saw two new messages from an unknown number.

Private number - Hey Amy😊

Private number - Ruhaan here. Thought we should catch up a bit. You left so soon.

I saved his number on my phone and before I could think what I should reply to him, he send another message.

Ruhaan - I got your number from Meera. I don't want to come across as a stalker so just told you.

I glanced at the text messages sent to me by Ruhaan. It felt really good to connect with an old friend.

I replied back quickly.

Me - Hey! I'm happy that you remember this devil.

I waited for his reply.

Ruhaan - Ikr. Someone who was such a fat bully...turned into someone so gorgeous.

I giggled as I typed my reply.

Me - I looked beautiful back then too, okay?

Ruhaan - Nah. You were cute but dangerous😂

Ruhaan - Coming tomorrow right?

Me - Yes. You'll love the night.

Ruhaan - I hope so...

Me - See you tomorrow. Bye.

Ruhaan - Bye

And then I listened to some music after keeping my phone back in my bag.

I reached my office and completed the important work I was called for. It was actually a model that I needed to approve of before finalizing the shoot dates.

Once done with the work, I had to attend a meeting with designers from a big lingerie house since I was planning to invest in their company and it seemed like a super profitable deal.

I got over with all the work by seven in the evening and set for home.

While going back I decided to call Kabir and inform him about all this Arjun scene.

I dialed his number and he answered within a second.

"Hey Amaya," he chirped.

"Hi...how are you?"

"Good and you?" He asked.

"I'm fine," I replied.

"Amaya don't forget we have a party tomorrow,"

"I remember yaar," I said. "I need to tell you something," I added.

"Arjun. I know," he asserted.

"How?"

"Meera!" He replied.

"I don't know what to do Kabir...I have-"

"Amaya, you don't need to explain a shit to me or to anyone else here. Literally. And I am not being sarcastic. Arjun has been an asshole but that doesn't mean he cannot change. I agree he has caused you a crazy amount of pain and I will break his bones if I even sniff anything fishy but until then, if not trust him, trust your instincts. If you feel Arjun should be a part of Ahaana and Aryan's life, let them be. You can't change the past now but you can certainly mould your future. Think wisely. I'm always there for you," Kabir explained.
