Author's Note: Hey guys! I'm back after so many years with a one shot on PaNi. Before you read it, please note that all events in this story are set in the year 2017. NOT 2020. Now that Niti is married. This story is purely fictional!! Not real. Please dont take it otherwise.
I laid back on the sofa , while scrolling through my phone. Stalking her profile or her fanpage was one of my favorite pass times. She rested her head on my lap listening to songs on her phone.
"Do you want something to drink?" She asked me. "I'm going to get some water"
"Im good." I answered and continued scrolling. She had given an interview a couple of days back and I put on my headphones to listen to what she had said. Even though I could interview her myself it was fun to watch her giving interviews to other people, especially because so many of them asked her about me, kaisi ye yaariaan.
"Parth Im right here!! And you still want to look at my interviews!" She came back from the kitchen and was now peering into my phone .
I looked at her chubby face . Anyone who said that a relationship becomes boring after a year was so wrong. Even two years after our relationship I couldn't control myself around her. Her doe shaped eyes were so beautiful, her smile so captivating, her face sans the makeup looked even more beautiful. I quickly cupped her face and gave her a peck on her lips.
She blushed. God!! How could she look so pretty?
"So...which interview were you watching?" She came and sat next to me on the sofa.
"This one." .I showed her the video.
"Oh this.." She understood which one it was and started talking "Sometimes i feel weird when people ask when I want to get married. I mean whenever I get married everyone will eventually get to know then why these questions? They don't ask guys all these..then why girls..still I told her I see myself married by 25 or max 26." She ended her sentence in a firm and confident tone, and bit her lower lip.
"Oops..did i say too much!"
I smiled. Not paying much heed to what she'd said I kissed on her forehead.

I twisted and twirled on my bed. I couldn't sleep. The previous evening's conversation was fresh in my head. She'd said that she would marry by 25 or 26..and even though she hadn't asked me if I would, I knew she wanted it with me..25 or 26 for her meant a couple of years for me..and I knew I wouldn't be ready to get married in a couple of years. I just didn't want anything to do with marriage before I was stable enough with my work..And that too for atleast 3-4 years..but niti...she wanted it in two years!! I just couldn't make myself accept it.. I couldn't sleep. I needed some answers. I got up and changed into my tracks and a shirt and drove to her house.
It was early December, not so cold. Niti's house was only at a distance of ten minutes from mine hence it didn't take me long to reach there.
I pressed her doorbell five times before she woke up..Something had made me so desperate that I just had to come to her to clarify..otherwise I wouldnt be able to sleep.
"Parth..oh my god what are you doing here.." She opened the door. Even in deep sleep her hair looked perfect, her eyes semi open . It looked like I was definitely a surprise she wasnt expecting, at this time. It was 2 am.
"I couldn't sleep." I said and entered into her apartment.
"So you thought of disturbing me too?"
I frantically paced up and down her hall as she closed the door behind and came and stood behind me.
"What do you want? It's way past midnight Parth. Im damn sleepy."
