I'm very happy with the response I'm receiving for this book. Thanks is a small word to show my gratitude for your love and support. I'll try not to disappoint you further.

" Arohi...where are you going? "

" Sorry Riya I'm getting late. "

" What sorry? I called you for dinner and you're leaving. "

" I'm really getting late. "

" Wait na. Come sit. Dinner is ready. "

Arjun was having his food silently without looking at her.

" Babe... Tell me. Are you seeing anyone. "

She choked on her food.

" What happened? Water? " Riya asked.

" Riya. Stop. What questions are you asking? " her dad warned her.

" Dad I'm just asking for basic knowledge. Tell na. You are single right. "

Arjun maintained a straight face concentrating on his food but listening their convo.

" Ummm... hmmm..hmm.. "

" Good. Are you planning to settle down? "

" No.. not at all. "

" Why? "

" I'm...I'm busy with my work. "

" Oh come on. Work would go on. Won't you marry for that? "
She remained silent.

" Would you like to meet my cousin? I think you both would perfect together. "

This time Arjun choked on his food.

" What happened? Is dinner too spicy today? " her dad asked.

" No it's fine. I'm done with my dinner. "

He said and walked away.

" So tell me Arohi. Are you okay with it? Actually. He had to come today but. He's not ready to marry now. And... "

" Riya, I'm pleased to come here. Thanks for inviting. I'm really getting late. "

" Hmmm...okay. but think about it. "

" I'll... "

She left.

" Riya what is this? What kinda questions were you asking? Do you know she's married? "

" What? Dad. If it is so. Why she said she's single. Even if she's then they must be divorced or separated. You know Akhil right? She perfectly matches his taste. "

" But you should ask her opinion too. If she really wants to marry or not. I have noticed that vermilion on her head. "

" Don't worry dad. I'll take care of everything. "

" I'm happy that you gave him divorce. Now you can move on right? " her bro impatiently.

" Bro... its really not possible. "

" Why? He has moved on with another girl. Why are you stuck with his memories? "

" It's not like that. You're not understanding. After getting disappointment from that relationship I can't walk on the same path. I don't have that courage or energy anymore. I'm tired Bro. Understand. "

" I know what you're going through but. "

" Don't pressurise me Bro. I am already very stressed out. "

" Okay I can't force you. It's your decision. "

Next morning,

" Baby let's go. We have to do an important meeting today. " Riya said.

" Meeting and you? What's wrong? "

" Not that kinda meeting. Let's go I have called Arohi too. "

" Why are you dragging that girl between us all the time. I don't like this at all. "

" It's not only her. Someone else too is coming. "

" Who? "

" That's a surprise. "

" You and your surprises. I don't have time for any. Please keep me out. "

" Arjun please. "

" Okay. "

They were going through the car when Riya called Arohi and asked her to come. At first she refused but Riya was stubborn.

" Okay. I'll come. "

" And please wear a Saree. "

" I can't wear "

" She can't wear. " Arjun said in impulse later realising what he did.

Riya frowned at him still on line.

" Okay. Wear whatever you like. You are always looking beautiful. "

" Okay. Bye "

" Baby how do you know she can't wear a Saree. "

Arjun looked straight on road as he was driving the car.

" Ummm.. How would I know. I just guessed. Girls like her usually can't wear saree. "

" Girl like her as in? "

" Independent girls. They don't have time for all this. "

Riya was still looking at him with suspicion as if she wasn't satisfied with his reply at all.

Soon they reached the place. Arohi joined them later.

Arjun was giving her deadly glares as if she did some crime by coming between them.

" Riya. Please tell me. Why you called me? "

" Remember last night I talked to you about my cousin. He will be joining us here. "

" What cousin? "

" Akhil. Your favourite. "

" Why is he....? "

" Riya. I told you right I'm not interested. Please. I'm here for my work. "

" Will someone tell me what's happening here? " Arjun shouted.

" Baby. I just want them to meet and talk to each other. I think they'll perfectly complement each other. "

" Riya please. I am not thinking about all this right now. I'm leaving bye. "

She picked her bag and got up to leave when she bumped into a masculine frame.

" I'm sorry. "

" You don't need to be. I'm sorry. "

" Akhil... "

Akhil casting yet to be done :P

Come on give suggestions...
