Hello everyone...

Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous story, Twin Series 6 : Twist Of Fate (Posted on 8. May. 2024)

I am feeling much better now but kind of feeling lethargic.

Don't know why, just not in a mood to write. Plus I have been catching upon the films I missed during ramadan.

I just wanted to post something. Just a story, for the sake of posting something. So, please just don't expect anything from this story.

"You did what?" Madhu asks freaking out on the phone.

"You heard me." Dipali cheekily says.

"I'll kill you."

"Oh come on! Don't act, now! Hang up the phone and get ready. He'll be there shortly."

"You should have checked with me first!" Madhu tells her pissed as she opened the wardrobe and looked for something to wear.

"He is damn hot! I am so sure you will be drooling after him!"

"Yeah, right!" Madhu rolls her eyes. "Tell me about him."

"He will reach by 7. You get ready. I'm on my way. The traffic is bad." Dipali tells her.

"But tell me..."

"Babes, it is called blind date for a reason!" Dipali reminds her.

"What should I wear?" Madhu asks her feeling nervous. She has never been on a blind date.

"Wear my floral green dress. you'll rock it!" Dipali tells her.

Madhu closes her wardrobe, goes to Dipali's bedroom and opens the cupboard and pulls out the dress. "Got it."

"Okay. I'll see you soon." Dipali says and hangs up.

**********

Madhu nervously checks out herself in the mirror.

She looked good. She admitted to herself.

This was the wildest thing she has done in her life. Going for a blind date.

She never thought she would ever go on a blind date. Ever.

Dipali had been trying to fix her on a date with different guys but she had never been interested in anyone. Fed up, Dipali had fixed her on a blind date without asking her.

Dipali and she were staying in the upstairs portion of an old couple's house. They both had replied to a PG wanted ad when they had moved into this city for work. They had quickly became best friends.

Hearing the doorbell, Madhu nervously runs to the door, on the way, she checks out her reflection on the mirror. Taking a deep breath, she opens the door, nervously, though half hoping it is Dipali.

Seeing the handsome man at the door, her mouth drops open. For once, Dipali wasn't exaggerating.

"Hi." The man says with a smile. "I'm RK... This is Dipali's house, right?"

"Yes." Madhu tells him, she couldn't help the blush.

"Sorry, I am late." RK regretfully says. "The traffic was really bad."

Madhu looks at the watch and sees that the time was 7:05. "It's okay. Please come in."

"Are you Madhu?" RK asks her.

"Yes." Madhu blushes slightly.

RK nods as he followed her in.

"Dipali will reach in a bit. Then we can go." Madhu tells him.

"Yeah, no problem." RK says with a smile.

"Would you like to have something?" Madhu asks him.

"Water would be great."

"Just a minute." Madhu says and hurries in.

Madhu grabs two glasses and pours apple juice from the tetra packs. Then she takes it to RK and offers it to him.

Smiling, RK takes it. "Thank you."

Madhu takes her glass and sits opposite to him. "Dipali didn't give me any details." Madhu nervously starts.

"She said we'll discuss everything face to face." RK tells her smiling.

"Yeah, that's her." Madhu says rolling her eyes.

RK takes a sip as he smiled.

"So, what do you do, RK?" Madhu asks.

At the same time, RK asks her, "Dipali didn't say anything about the money."

Madhu frowns. "Money?"

"Yeah." RK replies. "I really don't want to waste yours or my time. If the price is right then we can talk more otherwise, let's just not waste our time."

"Money?" Madhu asks again, getting offended. "What do you mean?"

RK frowns seeing her reaction then he says. "I'm thinking 5000. That is a fair price."

"5000?"

"For the weekend." RK tells her. "That is an amazing offer, if you ask me."

"What?" Madhu shouts in outrage. Did he think that she was a hooker?

"But I need to take a test drive first." RK tells her as he pointedly looked at her.

"You bloody asshole!" Madhu shouts in outrage as she threw the juice on his face.

RK sat there in shock for a second. Then wiping his face, he asks furiously as he stood up. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Get the hell out!" Madhu screams in fury.

"You crazy, bat shit woman!" RK says furiously as he turned to walk out.

They hear two people talking and both stop as they looked at the door.

"Hey babes!" Dipali says as she walked in followed by a man. "Your date is here! Idiot was waiting downstairs for me to reach." Dipali says excitedly then noticing RK, she says with a smile. "Hey, RK. Sorry, I got stuck in traffic."

"What?" Madhu whispers in shock as she looked at the man with Dipali then she turns to look at RK in shock. "Then him?"

"That is RK. He has come to check out the Impala." Dipali says.

"What?" Madhu shouts in shock.

"I told you Sultan's friend was coming to see the Impala." Dipali says pointing at RK. "The wedding planner. I told you he wants to rent the Impala for the groom's bharaat."

Madhu's mouth drops open as she turned to RK. "So, when you said test drive, you meant the car?"

"Obviously. What else do you test drive?" RK asks her outraged.

Madhu gasps in shock as she covered her mouth.

"What happened?" Dipali asks.

Noticing, juice splashes still on his face, Madhu turns around and runs to grab a towel. She comes back and starts wiping RK's face.

"I am so sorry. I am so sorry." Madhu tells him.

"Just stop." RK says uncomfortably as he took the towel from her.

"I am so sorry." Madhu says regretfully.

"What happened?" Dipali asks confused.

"When he said money and 5000..." Madhu starts to explain then stopping in shock, she asks RK. "5000 for that crap?"

RK looks at her taken back.

Dipali takes in a sharp breath. Then glaring at Madhu, she says. "You leave. Your date is waiting."

"What?" Madhu whispers in shock as she finally turned her attention to the man with her. He was not hot like RK.

"Madhu, meet Neeraj. Neeraj, my best friend, Madhu." Dipali makes the introduction.

"Hello." Neeraj says with a smile.

Madhu stares at Neeraj then she looks at Dipali and sees her give her a smug wink, then she finally turns to look at RK, and sees him looking at her confused, trying to piece together everything.

"Get going." Dipali says as she pushed Madhu to the door. Then she calls out, "RK, come, I'll show you the car."

Monday morning

Madhu was getting ready to leave for office when she hears the doorbell. Since Dipali was taking her shower, Madhu runs to the door and opens it. She stops in surprise seeing RK.

"Oh hi." Madhu says.

"Hi." RK says. "Is Dipali here?"

"She is taking her shower. Please come in."

"I came to return the car." RK tells her as he extended the keys to her. "Have washed the car. Filled the petrol. No damages."

Madhu nods as she took the car key.

"Before I leave, can you please check these. And also, have Dipali sent me a mail confirming these?" RK asks her.

"You want me to check?" Madhu asks him.

"My friend is waiting for me. So, I can't wait." RK explains.

Madhu nods and follows him down to the car.

RK stood back as Madhu checked everything.

"All seems fine." Madhu tells him.

RK nods.

Madhu starts to turn back when he asks. "So, how did your date go?"

Madhu turns to him surprised.

He raises his eyebrows at her, silently repeating the question.

"Not good." Madhu replies, her cheeks turning pink in embarrassment. "I'm really sorry for what happened that day."

"Dipali told me that she set you up on a blind date. You thought I was the date." RK tells her.

Madhu turns pink. "Yeah. So when you said money, I misunderstood."

"When you said we'll go after Dipali comes, I assumed you meant to check out the car." RK tells her grinning.

Madhu turns red hearing that.

"You meant date." RK tells her grinning even more.

"Erm..." Madhu stammers, not knowing what to say.

"RK... let's go?"

Hearing, they both turns to the gate and sees a guy on a bike waiting.

RK nods and starts to walk to his friend.

Madhu sighs in relief.

"Madhu..." RK calls her as he turns to her.

"Yeah?"

"Dipali has my number. Message me when and where." RK tells her.

"What?" Madhu asks, her heart skipping a beat.

"For our date." RK tells her then winking at her he walks off.
