Never mine..

Zoning out

"Swarni POV"

All the five stars are really very over rated the smell of seafood lying in the buffet room behind the glass is really killing my 1st experience of an open garden dinning. "Hotel taj" Uncle yash has told me go to the taj hotel, am I at the right address or not.

Anyways let me rewind what all has happened since yesterday:

"Why now? why are you here? You didn't show up once when my dad was in the hospital, when he desperately wanted to see you.''

"I know beta there is no apology for what we have done but now I am here to take you in. Please come with me to your home please" He was crying while folding his hands begging me to come with him. Is this real? No it can't be he definitely want something.

"What do you want uncle ji? And please no drama because I can't waste my single more minute on you here, I have a job to do, hospital bills to pay and there is no way I am coming with you before you are telling me the real reason of you being here."

He looked at me and started talking again "we need you, your sister Lilly got disappeared right before her engagement and her in-laws and me both will loss so much If the wedding wouldn't happen."

"Why are you telling me this? That's non of my business. If you think your daughter has came to me than I should tell you that I can't even remember her face so I have not seen her. Now can I get back to my job otherwise my boss will throw me out my job." I had already turned around to took off when he held my hand saying "you don't have to do that job again I have cleared all your father's bills and loans for you" And now I am beyond shock "What?! Why? What do you want from me?" I've said it because I know how Cunning he is he would never do anything for anyone without seeking any profit for him.

"You have to marry Him; you have to marry lilly's fiance in 15 days before it's too late."

"I will do no such thing" now my anger was taking on its hike "I don't want your money you can leave Now!!.. "

"But where will you leave if you don't do this for me. I will make sure nobody will give you any job and a place to live. Please do this for me when I am still begging you swarni, otherwise I have so many other ways to get it done and you should know that". I kept quiet on that because I know he was not bluffing, he is indeed one of the most powerful persons in Mumbai.

He took my silence as a yes and bring me to his palace like home in Bandra. He explained to me that I only have to stay married for 1 year and after that I will get half a million rupees with which I can do whatever I want. All that while I was only curious about the person I know would never like me: "my soon to be husband."

"Excuse me... Excuse me... Excuse me..." Anyways swarni it's all just for a year this can't be that bad right?..

" Excuse me... Excuse me..." I think someone is calling me but oh this ocean view is amazing I don't want to take my eyes off it. Time to zone in again swarni, I turn my head to look at the person sitting right in front of me. Oh my god when did he got here? He's been calling me to talk, of course you are here to talk to your husband to be swarni but why is he not looking at me his face and attention both
entirely stuffed into his phone.

"Excuse me.. " And here it goes the waiter standing right next to our table was calling me all that while to take our order not 'him'. Then he divert his attention to the person sitting in front of me for his order and he asked just for a cup of tea.

I am an amazing person you know, i can write a whole book on "100 ways to embarrass yourself". Please read the sarcasm in it.

"Stop staring at me." The person sitting in front of me suddenly said that very rudely while adding more. "Listen girl I don't want to marry you get that. So don't you dare fall for me I belong to someone else. "

"And who told you that I will fall for you?? Huh? May be my reasons are different but I also have no interest to be married to someone without knowing him and that too with someone who would be that rude to me. Who would make his own judgements about me without even knowing me. I don't even know your name Mr. and you think I am gonna fall for you? Not even in a dream. " I had to give him some piece of my mind.

Then I grabbed my bag which was old rugged backpack belongs to my dad, before standing up to leave and said " lets get over with this and get married for a year and trust me you don't have to worry about the love part because you are certainly not someone I would ever fall for,now you get that?!"although you are handsome af I promised to myself that I would never fall for this pretty face ever. Than I left the place.

Before getting into the cab I've heard someone was shouting my name when I spin to look at the source of it the same rude man was standing nose to nose in front of me. I was not ready for any more bullshit when he held me by my arms and said "Ayaan.. The name is Ayaan Malik" I was looking at him dumbstruck and he didn't say any extra word and just like that we both left.
