The GIRLFRIEND Deal

CHAPTER 1

This was the third time in the day, Shivaay was getting a call from his family back in USA. When his phone ranged for the fourth time, he decided to pick up and finish the matter at once.

"Shivaay Bhaiya.." It was Priyanka, his sister on the line.

"Prinku?" he called.

"I am getting married" the bomb dropped.

"What? My little sister is getting married!!" he was genuinely happy for her, although she is his cousin but grew up under the same roof.

"Yes Bhaiya and I want you beside me" she said and Shivaay's smile faded. He is not ready to go back to the place where his love ditched him to get married to another man, just for money.

"Prinku.. But" he was short of words.

"Mai baat kar rahi hun ab" Pinky, his mother took the phone.

"Maa, shaadi kab decide huyi? Who is the groom?" Shivaay asked the questions like a protective brother.

"Phone uthayega to hi details de payenge hum." She taunted.

"I was busy with work" he lied.

"Tu boss hai, naukri nahi karta ki chutti na mile" she said. Her eyes are dying to get his glimpse.

"Boss hun isiliye zyada kaam hota hai" he said.

"Chal chal, baatein na bana. Jitni jaldi ho paaye tu yaha hona chahiye bas" Pinky commanded.

"Dadi hai kya?" Shivaay asked.

"Mummy ji phone pe baat nahi karegi." Pinky said.

"Shivaay" it was Jhanvi, his Aunt whom he prefers to call badi maa.

"Shaadi ke mahol me, we will look for a suitable match for you" she said.

"Badi maa, I am not looking for someone okay. Mai bas shaadi attend karne aa raha hun, my marriage is not gonna happen anytime soon" he said as those memories of betrayal hit him like a stake through his heart.

"To kya bhrahmachari rahega?" Pinky shouted.

"I can't" he said sitting on his chair as her face flashed in front of him, the day she told him that it was over from her side.

"Dekho, Mallika aur tumhare breakup ko 2 saal ho gaye. Its time to move on and settle here with us. Mom misses you" Jhanvi said.

"Kya Bhabhi ye laato ka bhut hai, baton se nahi manne wala" he could hear Pinky's voice.

"Its not about her. Badi Maa, I have a girlfriend"

'What!!!! Get a grip over your tongue' he thought.

"Sacchi? Haayei mere Shivaay ko phirse pyaar ho gaya" Pinky snatched the phone, her heart beaming with happiness.

"Bhaiya.... Aapne mujhe aur O ko bhi nahi bataya" Rudra, his youngest brother on line.

'Kya batau? About my imaginary girlfriend' Shivaay's mind mocked.

"Naam kya hai uska? Kaisi dikhti hai? Kaise mile?" Priyanka showered with the questions.

"Mere paas ek idea hai, tu use leke aa Prinku ki shaadi me, hum mil lenge" Pinky proposed the idea.

"Maa, aise hi nahi leke aa sakta na use, awkward ho jayega uske liye" Shivaay said

'Kiske liye Bhai?' his self asked him

"Mai nahi janti kuch bhi, I want to meet her. Maine to Prinku ke sasural walo se bhi keh dena hai ki meri bahu aa rahi hai shaadi me" Pinky was so excited about Shivaay's so called girlfriend.

"Le aana Shivaay, hum intezaar karenge" Omkara, his younger brother said.

"Fine"

'Crap!'

He hung the call and the next moment felt like punching himself.

"What on earth was I thinking?" he cursed.

"Kaha se laun? I don't even have a proper female friend, girlfriend to dur ki baat hai. Its all crap"

"Damn!" he dialled Khanna, his PA's number immediately.

"Mai shri Raghunath ji ke siwa, kisi dusre purush ki chinta nahi karti, agar ye satya hai, to aaj pritvi devi mujhe apne god me sthaan de"

"Yadi mai man, vachan aur karam dwara keval shri raam ki aradhna karti hun, to aaj prithvi devi mujhe apne god me sthaan de"

Drum plays in the background.

"Bhagvan shri raam ko chorke mai kisi dusre purush ko nahi janti, mera kehna agar satya ho, to pritvi devi mujhe apne god me sthaan de"

And Sita Maa goes inside the Earth leaving everyone in tears, including the audience who couldn't stop the claps.

The lead actress who played Sita Maa went to the green room.

"Gazab Anika, tu shaan hai mera" Sukhi Kaka, who is like a guardian to her praised.

"Arey Kaka, mai to natural actor hun, bas ab paise laiye mera" Anika forwarded her hand with a big smile on her face. Sukhi chuckled and took out to give her the required money.

"Waise, tujhse milne koi aaya hai" Sukhi said and Anika was surprised. Being an orphan, she never has guests. Its either Sukhi or her one constant friend, Ashima.

A man, unfamiliar to her entered the green room and she glanced at him from top to bottom.

"Aap kaun?" Anika asked.

"Mai Khanna, Shivaay Singh Oberoi Sir ka P.A"

"ye Shivaay Singh Oberoi koi Hritik Roshan hai ki aise hi naam bologe aur mai pehchaan lungi haan?" Anika blurted out. He is known by the aristocrats but very rare for the middle class or BPL.

"Wo business world ke hritik roshan hi hai" Khanna said.

"Hain? Aisa kya? To mujhse kya kaam? Mai ek local theatre " Anika asked.

"Actually........."
