You Belong With Me | Completed

Chapter -85 Hard Feelings

As the gang stood in front of the gate of the Gupta house, Adi nervously shuffled his feet against the cold cemented road. He couldn't even begin to describe the rush if emotions that he was feeling at the moment. Was he ready to face her? Was he going to succeed in making her change her mind? Would she even listen to him?

Lots of thoughts clouded his mind. He inhaled deeply.

Ruhaan: You ready, Adi?

Adi nodded and said,

Adi: As ready as I'll ever be.

Together, the 7 walked up to the front porch. A big mahogany door greeted them. Ruhaan looked at the others, and pressed the bell. Two chimes were heard on the other side.

After a long agonizing minute, the door opened and an unfamiliar face greeted them.

Payal: Yes?

Ruhaan: Um...is this Mitali Gupta's house?

Payal: It is. And you are..?

Shanu: Uh...we are Mitali's friends. From her college in Mumbai.

Payal's eyes widened.

Payal: From Mumbai?! Oh my god, please come in! Come in!

She stepped aside to open the door for the gang.

The gang was greeted by a loud , chirping set of people, moving from here to there, busy in some or the other task. An old lady sat in the couch on the left side of the living room , telling some men to lift the boxes properly.

Payal: Dadi, look, it's Mitali Di's friends from her college!

The old lady stopped talking to the men and looked at her new arrived guests. Getting up, she went up to them.

Dadi: You guys came all the way from Mumbai?

Ruhaan: Uh..yeah. I hope that isn't a problem.

Dadi: Arey kya problem shproblem! You guys are my Mitu's friends! You are welcome here anytime you want. I am just surprised you kids came all the way from Mumbai to attend her engagement.

Ruhaan smiled sheepishly while Adi asked,

Adi: Where is she?

Dadi: Wait I'll send someone to call her. She's probably upstairs in her room with Rishi.

Adi's fist clenched hearing his name.

Dadi: Arey Payal! Go call Mitu and Rishi downstairs!

Payal nodded enthusiastically and ran upstairs. She barged in her room and found Mitali and Rishi playing ludo.

The duo looked up to find a grinning Payal staring at them.

Mitali: What is it Payal? Why are you grinning like a maniac?

Payal chose to ignore her questions and said,

Payal: There's a surprise for you downstairs.

Mitali: What surprise?

Payal: Arey once you see the surprise, you'll be jumping in excitement!

Rishi raised a brow.

Rishi: Why ? What's so interesting downstairs?

Payal: Arey Rishi bhaiya! Once she sees the people downstairs , she'll be jumping with excitement.

Mitali: Wait... Hrithik Roshan and  Ayushman Khurrana are here to attend my engagement?!

Rishi rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Payal: No....

Mitali: Well then trust me, I won't be jumping with excitement.
