A/N —> Varun reacted on Alia's Gully Boy trailer! I'm already saving for a movie ticket!

Alia's P.O.V
I woke up. It was early, around 05.30 I went out of bed and I opened the curtains. Not too much however because then Varun would wake up as the sun was rising and I wouldn't want that since my best friend deserves sleep! Some birds are singing in their trees, out of my sight. The jacuzzi is covered and the gate is locked. The trees are really green, which I didn't get to see a lot in India nowadays. The sky is purple/ dark blueish and with a few clouds here and there. I breathe in the oxygen with a deep breath. The air is polluted here as well, but less than in India. But here it's so cold! I turn back to the room again and I close the window. This could be the last time for me to sleep here. I could be living in India for the rest of my life. There was a chance that I couldn't finish this holiday, as I could be getting married.

But I probably wouldn't. This would be the 100th guy asking me for my allegiance to him and blah blah blah. I didn't want to get married when I was 23 and I don't want to marry now. It isn't difficult to understand!

However I must take the plane to India today. My parents live there. I need to be at the airport at 6.30 as it is an 7 hour flight. I quietly prepare myself and I write a letter for Varun. Unfortunately he wakes up.

"Alia, what are you doing so early?", he asks me with a sleepy voice. His eyes are still sleeping and he doesn't seem to realise what's going on. I caress his hair and join him on the edge of his bed.

"Varun, I need to go to my parents remember. I have a wedding proposal waiting for me."

I think it's the moment after I said that those words he realises that I need to go to India for a wedding proposal.

"Alia.. you can't leave me here yaar. I need you!" Who is gonna comfort me with these bunch of crazy people?" He suddenly sits up straight while hugging me. "Alia..."

I try not to be sad although there is a lump in my throat. I hate seeing Varun sad and I hate goodbyes. Take care my sweet Alu Parotha. Return soon okay? And without a husband!"

"Why without?"

He blushes. "Just because you're too young even though you're almost 26! For me you'll always be that same sweet kid"

" Aww, that's really sweet Dhawan"
He smiles and he kisses my cheek. "How far is the airport from here Als?"

"About 5 minutes I guess."

"Good" he says with a evil smile.

He pulls me into a hug and throws me up on the bed, under the sheets and he quickly wraps his arms around me.

"Now you'll stay with me for the next 15 minutes Bhatt. After that you need to go." I try to smile at him. "I'll be back soon Varun"

"I know but it won't be the same without you."

"He takes a hold of my hand and places a kiss on it. 

I pull his face closer to me and I give him a kiss on his cheek. He smiles and he lays next to me with his arms wrapped around me as I wrap my arms around him as well and I put my head on his chest.
And so we lay there until it's time for me to go.

Sidharth's P.O.V
I was on my way to the airport when I saw Alia coming out of a car. What was she doing here so early? I decided to scare her. I walked up to her, very slowly, and I started breathing very heavy. She froze and I placed my hands on her shoulders and said hi with a very loud voice.

She screamed and looked around while I was so laughing. Omg! That was so funny! I was laughing harder now and my stomach and jaw were hurting.

"Hahaha. Alia your face! Priceless!"
"She smacked me on my arm.

"Fool! You scared the shit outta me! What the hell man?"

I laughed and slowly she started to laugh as well.

"So what brings you here so early?", she asked me curiously.

"Oh I'm just going to see my parents. Nothing exciting. They said that there was a really serious matter and I should come as soon as possible. So here I am."

Alia's P.O.V
He spread his arms and made big gestures while talking. "And you? Running away from the mansion? Or should I say Varun?"

He winked at me while I blushed. I tried to hide it but I failed miserably. "Aww, Alia is blushing." I rolled my eyes. "It's not like that Sid. Actually I'm also going to see my parents. A wedding proposal has come again. Apparently this boy is really great and I need to meet him. He also lives there and he has blond hair with green eyes. I don't think I'll like him but I have to go. I've no other choice."

She sighs. Weddings are actually pretty hard for a girl. Especially the preparations. Can you cook? What are you qualifications? Well-mannered? Are you a virgin? Did you have a boyfriend before? Hobbies? Can she bake? Can she make ladoo and roti? Do you want to study or work after marriage? How many kids do you want? Who are your friends? Who are their dads? How much do they earn? To which school did you went? Was it a good one? Job? And so on! Like we're having a record for the most questions within 10 minutes. And us poor boys have to bear everything and sit there quietly I thought.

"Which plane are you on?", she asked me.

"I'm on the KLM 19. And you?"

"Same plane!"

"Great! Which seat?"

"Private section, seat number 3."

"I'm on 2! This is great!"

"So do you want to do anything? Our plane is boarding in an hour."

"Actually, I'm quite hungry", I said while thinking of junk food.

"Okay, then let's go. We will grab something to eat."

Unfortunately, there was a long queue outside the snack bar. So we went to the restaurant where we both ate a toast with cheese, pancakes with strawberries and some bread with peanut butter. As we ate we talked. Sidharth told me about his life before and after Student. He told me about how surprised he was when he had been chosen for Abhi. And then I told about how becoming Shanaya was a challenge and I was so excited I couldn't stop smiling and I was willing to shoot immediately. As the minutes passed we only had 5 minutes left to go to the plane.

"Why does this keep happening to us yaar?" Alia sighed. "Yeah indeed. God do something!"

She turned around. "You have called me Mr Malhotra?"

"You're God?! Hah! If you were God, the world would only exist out designer-bags Shanaya."

"As if! If you were God then the world would exist out of whisky and cars Abhi" she laughed and then we ran to the plane.

When we were on the plane it appeared that we were all alone! The economy class was half filled and in the private section only me and Sid where there. We decided to make us selves comfortable. Sid watched a movie while I felt asleep, while dreaming about returning to India , where another hopeless Devdas would be waiting for me...

Parineeti P.O.V
I was walking through the kitchen. I was looking outside. The weather was really bad as it was raining. I made myself some pancakes when Shraddha entered.
"Hi"

"Hi Shrads. Want some pancakes?"

"I'd love to."

She sat down. After a while she broke the silence.

"Have you seen Sidharth? He left the mansion and he took his suitcase."

"Nope Sorry. But Arjun isn't here as well. He also took his suitcase. Maybe they went somewhere together?"

"Could be. But we don't know for sure."

Varun entered the lounge with a sleepy face. "Hi Dhawan. Want pancakes?" I asked.

"Yeah thanks."

He sat down on the sofa and he ate quietly.
"What're you gonna do today Shrads? ", Varun asked.

"Make dinner. I'm gonna prepare something special! It's one of the recipes of my mom."

"Oh, sound nice" I said.

"Too bad Alia and Sidharth can't taste it." Varun said.

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked.

"Alia has to go back to India for another marriage proposal and Sidharth has an emergency with his family.

"Oh yeah, I remember. He told me. " Shraddha says casual.

"But where is Arjun then?" I ask curiously.

"Arjun?" Varun asks. "He wasn't going anywhere right? Did he tell you something P?"

"No, he never tells me anything Varun."  I said while thinking of all the possible options that were present.

1. He could've ran away
2. Family emergency
3. Slept in the wrong room
4. He didn't leave but I just need glasses
5. He left and is never coming back.

"I don't know where he is", Shraddha said, "but I've just been to his room and it appears to be that he left. Suitcase is gone. He didn't leave a message or anything."

"That's terrible news." I said. "We need to call the cops.!"

"Not yet", Varun said, "a missing person can only be registered as missing after 24 hours. So we will have to wait."

"I don't actually think he is coming back" I said.

"He is coming back I think. It's Arjun!" said Shraddha.

"Why did he disappear yaar? What has the reason of all this? But more importantly where on earth is Arjun Kapoor?" Varun said with a loud tone.

"Don't make it so dramatic Varun.", Parineeti said while she rolled her eyes.

"Drama is in my blood", he winked back at her.

A/N—> An exciting cliffhanger! Won't be updating until 18 January 😪 cause I've a lot of tests and as much as I like Wattpad, school is more important...

Will Arjun he found? What is going on with him? Will Alia find the love of her life? Will Sidharth discover his family's situation?

Stay tuned...

Love 💖
