"Hamare room main aye Manik!" Di ordered me and left.

I followed her but not before casting a glance at the closed door behind me.

Heaving a deep sigh I entered in di's room and closed the door.

She was standing near the window with crossed arms,her back was facing me.

"Di...wo...!" Before I could stutter a furious di strode towards me and I felt a sharp pain on my right cheek.

Lou aaj ek din main teen baar pit gaya main !

I kept my palm on the right cheek where she slapped me.

I looked towards her with a resentful look but her ferocious eyes took me off guard and I immediately lowered my gaze.

"Di ! I'm sorry ! I know you have heard everything !" I started my sorry speech while looking down still holding my cheek.

It must have gained finger prints on it ! Pehle gol-gappi k hath se khai aur ab di k hath se !Now I can predict easily that my love journey is gonna be hell amazing ! Dhuhh!

"Hmm I've heard everything.Aur thora late kar dete aap!"Di's sarcastic tone broke my thinking session.

But her last line made me shock.

What does she mean?

"Di..aap?" I asked with wide eyes.

"Itni jaldi ehsaas kyon hua aapko ?" Her tone was still stern and that made me confused.

"Di what are you saying ?"I was perplexed like hell. I removed my palm from the cheek.

"Arey buddhu aur der karte tou hamari bhabhi ki tou shadi hojati!" She laughed while pulling my cheeks and I stood there shocked.

Bhabhi ?

Gol-gappi?

That means ?

"Di aren't you mad at me ?" I was still in the state of shock.

"Haan hum the pehle aapse gussa lekin ab hum khush hai matlab hamare bhai ko aqal aa hi gayi !" Di grinned and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I stumbled but hugged her back.
My lips curved into a smile

Chlo ek wicket tou giri !

"Aap nhi jante Manik hum kitne khush hain.YAIEEEE NANDANI HAMARI BHABHI BANEGI!" Di squealed and hugged me more tight.

I just giggled in response.

"But di Nandani nhi maan rahi.She isn't accepting us." I spoke gloomily.

A tear recklessly cascaded down my cheek.

Damn my heart ! it has turned sick !

"Idhar aye Manik!" Di sat on the bed while resting her back on the headboard and folded her knees.

I reached towards her and laid down on the bed,keeping my head on her laps.

I kept staring at the ceiling aimlessly and di kept ruffling my hair lovingly.

Is it that delayed that I can't get my first love ?

My thoughts grew burning charcoals all over my heart and again a long tear escaped from my left eye. Before di could notice I immediately turned my face.

I buried my head in di's laps as silent tears started pouring out smoothly.

"Manik !" Di called me and I finally chose to let it all out.

"Di!...mene kaha...us...se...k...ye...meri...pehli...mohabbat...hai...,mere...sath...aisa sitam...na...kare...wo,....par...wo......nhi...mani.Wo...mera haq....cheen...rahi...hai di ! Kia...maine....itni....der...kardi ! "I hiccupped like a kid still with buried face.

"Nhi itni der nhi hui , abhi bhi waqt hai.Aap aese agar himmat haar jayenge tou phir der ho jayegi shayad.Aap tou hamare itne strong bhai hain,aese royenge aap ek larki k liye haan?"Di chuckled at her last words as her hand ran smoothly all through my black hair to the nape.

"Di ! Wo...nhi manegi,wo mughe mera pehla pyaar nhi de rahi.Main kese rahunga di uske baghair.Mughe gol-gappi chahiye,wo sirf meri hai,Gol-gappi sirf meri hai." I cried more hard and di bent down to kiss my hair.

She pulled my face a little back and I understanding her action,
instantaneously sat on the bed,facing her.

She wiped my tears and pulled my red nose due to which I giggled making her smile too.

"Hum hain na apke sath! Tou bas ye tay hua k Nandani Khurana sirf aur sirf Manik Malhotra ki dulhaniya hi banegi ! Ab rona band karo hamare rotu bhai !" Di laughed while wiping my teary stained face with her pallu and I just smiled warmly with my heart.

"I love you di !" I exclaimed sincerely while looking in her deep enchanting eyes and she caressed my cheek lovingly.

I wiped her tear which fell from her cheekbone just a second before.

"Haan haan pta hai hamein k kitna I love you karte hain aap hum se !" Di slapped my cheek lightly while laughing and I winced.

It hurts ! My cheek God ! kitne zor se gol-gappi ne lagayi aur phir jo kasar reh gayi thi wo di ne poori kardi !Huhhh value hi nhi hai meri !

"Don't baby Bro ! This was needed to knock your brain !" Di tapped my right cheek again pulling me out of my hurtful thoughts.

"Wese Manik Nandani nhi maan rahi na shadi torne k liye lekin Armaan tou maan sakta hai !" Di spoke while pacing here and there in the room.

"But how di ! As much as I know him,he won't backoff from the marriage !" I clutched my head,still sitting on the bed only.

"Oho ! Stupid ! if Armaan comes to know that Nandani loves any other man,then he would surely think to step back na."Di stood infront of me, excited with her palms joined below her chin,looking cute,extremely.

Yes ! This is fabulous !

"Oh di you are great ! Tussi mahaan ho !" I shouted happily whilst twirling her in rounds by holding her palms.

She laughed and I laughed as we twirled in the middle of the room.

I stopped and we both looked at each other with evil eyes.

"So MISSION ARK starts from now!" I smirked but di looked confused.

"ARK Manik ?" She asked with creased lines occurring on her forehead.

"MISSION ARMAAN REMAINS KUNWARA !" A devil smile got tucked on my lips and I raised my palm forward which was immediately accepted by a smirking di.

Ahhhh gol-gappi meri jaan ! Manik ki dulhan ban'ne k liye tayyar hojao !

Let's meet Mr.Armaan Mehra !

...........

Sun began to dim off its rays as black-purplish clouds with Moon were ready to acquire the sky ground.

The garden where the engagement ceremony of the beloved niece of Mr.Raj Malhotra was being oraganized, was all decked up with pink and white roses,White fluttering curtains, yellow disco lights , giving an awestruck look to the decor.

Just three more hours were left to fill this vacant place.

The atmosphere outside the house was calm but in the house the hustle bustle was too much to digest.

"Suman where are my new Aldo shoes ?" Mama ji yelled with irritation while ransacking through the whole cupboard.

"They are in the cupboard only !" Mami ji also yelled from the washroom.

"Mughe nhi mil rahe ! You must have kept them somewhere else." Mama ji turned a little annoyed.

"Acha baba main bas aa rahi hn !"Sighing deeply Mami ji stepped out from the washroom.

"Ye kia kiya aapne !" She almost yelled in fear after watching the shoe compartment empty with shoes lying all over the room.

Mama ji moved his eyes being a little nervous.

After glaring Mam for almost five minutes,Mami ji walked towards the compartment and open the last drawer.

She raised the pair of shoes infront of mama jis eyes and Mama ji smiled sheepishly.

"Aap bhi na Raj ! Kia pareshaan ho jate hain baat baat par !" Mami spoke while keeping the other shoes back in the cupboard.

"Bhai akhir meri beti ki sagai hai aaj tou ek baap pareshaan tou hoga hi na !" Mama ji spoke while polishing his new Aldo shoes.

Mami ji smiled but soon closed her eyes in irritation as she heard Mama jis yell,

"Suman where is my Rolex? "

.........

"Kunal mere kapre kahan hain ? Mom squinted her eyes angrily at Kunal, the servant who deals with the laundry affair.

"Wo...maine...wahi....rahkhe...the...apke...kamre...main!"
Kunal stammered as he saw mum's angry eyes.

"Wahan room main kahan ? Mughe tou nhi dikh rahe !" Mom roared while stepping forward,scaring the shit out of Kunal.

"M....mmmain abhi lata hn !" Kunal ran towards the room where clothes were pressed with hot plates.

"Ruk mughe pta hai tu mere kapre istri karna bhool gaya hai ! Aaj teri khair nhi hai !" An angry mom with a broom stick ran behind that poor Kunal.

.......

Everyone was happy except two souls.

I know Manik wasn't happy at all.Neither he showed up at breakfast nor at lunch.

He must be hungry ! Hey bhagwaan pregnant hote hue bhi ise bhook kese nhi lagi !

I laughed on my thoughts and pour out some zeera rice and chicken curry from the storage utensils for him.

After telling my heart to stay calm like zillionth times I knocked the door of his room.

"It's open already !" I heard his annoyed shout from inside and after praying to God,I entered inside his room.

He was doing some work on laptop while resting his head on the head board and his laps sprawled on the bed.

He looked up at me and then at food,passing a shrugging expression he spoke,

"I don't want to eat! You better leave my room right now!" His tone was harsh which made my eyes watery but I pushed back my tears and spoke with bravery ,

"Jab tak tum khana nhi khaoge main yahan se nhi jaongi !" I clutched the tray more tight as he raised his long lashes from laptop to glare at me.

"Just get out !" He warned while indicating towards the door.

"I won't !" I spoke courageously and he closed the flap of laptop with thud.

I immediately stepped back , seeing him taking fast and furious steps towards me.

His anger petrifies my each and every cell very badly.Oh God save me !

The tray was about to fall from my shivering hands when he held it and kept it on the table beside.

"Wo...Manik...!" I stammered as he kept his both palms loudly beside my head, on the wall.

"Tumhe kia faraq parta hai haan ! Main khaon , main jeyoon ya main maroo! Tumhe kia ?" He shouted and my eyes leaked tears.

Because I love you !

"Wo...wo...!" I hiccupped badly.

"Wo kia haan ? Wo kia ? Tumhe tou us Armaan k sath rehna hai na tou uski fikar karo , meri fikar chor do !" He grabbed my arms and pulled me near him.

My lips accidently brushed his chin and he closed his eyes to control himself from ravishing my lips menacingly.

"Why do you care for me ?" His tone get low as he stared passionately in my eyes.

"Agar mughe chor k chali jaogi tou phir mera khyaal kese rakhogi, main tou apna khyaal nhi rakh sakta !" His voice turned more deep as his one hand crawled on my waist and one pulled my chin up.

I remained quiet and just kept staring at his torrid brown pools.

He closed his eyes and darted his tongue out to wet his chapped lips.

But before his lips could touch mine,I pushed him and turned while keeping a hand at my heart.

I was about to walk when he pulled my elbow and my back got smashed with his chest.

"Manik darwaza khula hai !" I whispered with my tears with a hope that he would leave me but he didn't.

"I don't care !" He murmured while inhaling deep in my just shampooed,strawberry fragranced hair.

Suddenly he left my elbow and wrapped his arm around my stomach and with other hand he cleared my right shoulder from hair,keeping them on my left one.

"Ma..." before I could stop him he spoke ,

"Ssssshh not a word !" His husky whisper came out as a dominant one and i clutched his arm tightly from my both palms.

"Now repeat my words !" He whispered while kissing my ear lazily.

I closed my eyes.

"I " he whispered while kissing my ear lobe.

"I " Without thinking twice I whispered too.

"LOVE !" He whispered as his lips found my beauty blade from behind.

"LOVE !" I murmured being casted in his magical spell.

"YOU !" He spoke passionately and smooched my skin deeply.

"YOU !" I uttered still being in haze and then reality struck to me.

Shit ! He made me confessed again !

Before I could run he turned me and held my waist strongly from his both palms.

He smirked while pulling me more closer to him and I punched his both shoulders inorder to get a way to escape.

"So still you wanna get marry to someone else !" He chuckled devilishly and I pursed my lips to control my anger.

"Just.leave.me!" I gritted my teeth while glaring at him and he smothered a laugh.

"Aese kese ! Kia main apni hone wali biwi ko apni baahon main nhi le sakta !" His smirk grew more wide as he saw my wide eyes after registering his words.

Hone wali biwi ! Kahin ise twins tou nahi hai kyon k iski halat tou bohot kharab lagti hai !

"Mr.Malhotra I am to be Mrs.Armaan Mehra !" My tears stop as I sneered at him angrily.

"Oh Really ?" He barked while pinning my hands above my head on the wall.

"Yes ! Sorry for your late realization !" I taunted at him and his eyes got tinted.

"Ok let's see who wins ! I, Manik Malhotra challenge you that on your wedding day which is just after a month , you'll find me as your groom ! Maine kasam khai hai apne ishq ki aur bohot jur'rat (bravery) hai meri pehli mohabbat main !"He snarled at me and my lips quivered seeing his immense passion leaking through the words.

"Ab kuch nhi ho sakta.Main kisi aur ki ho chuki hn !" I turned my face as my eyes failed to answer his innocent eyes.

"I won't let you become someone's else ! Your heart is with me and I won't let anyone steal that !

Khuda meherbaan mohabbat karne walon par hota hai ,
Tum jese dil paash(heart breaker) karne walon par nhi hota !" His rage full tone turned slow as a tear collapsed from his eye on my cheek.

I turned my face towards him and seeing his teary eyes , my tears started creeping out rapidly.

He left my palms and stepped back.

I whimpered before throwing myself on him.

I hugged him tightly while wrapping my hands around his neck.

"I love you Manik !" I whispered.

He hugged me back with even more intensity.

I cried , he cried.

I sniffed , he sniffed.

I hiccupped ,he hiccupped.

My crys turned more loud and to muffle them I pressed my lips hard on his neck.

I bit his neck as the pain which occurred in my heart wasn't just ending.

His tears fell more on my shoulder and he pulled me more in his embrace.

We are not meant to be ! Come on Nandani let him move on from you !

I broke the hug and ran out of the room while wiping my tears harshly but not before whispering to him ,

We can't be together !

Lastly I heard his loud shriek as he fell on his knees and palmed his teary face.

"TUM SIRF MERI HO !
MAIN TUMHE KISI AUR KA NHI HONE DUNGA !"
