"Swadheenta, you're so dead! Best friend Ki Sangeet mein late hai, Shilpa is not gonna leave me!" I murmured to myself as I wore my earrings hurriedly, and put the maangtikka at place which was going right-left. I had dolled up, because these times are rare when you get to attend your school time best friend's wedding.

I came to hall to find Asad sitting and watching match, like literally? This boy can't remember anything , here I wanted to reach there quick but he was sitting lazily and watching match? "Asad!!" I shouted and he jumped at his place. While Mami and Mamu came out of their room. "Mashallah, kitni khoobsurat lag rahi hai hamari Bachi, kisi Ki nazar Na lage." Mami cupped my cheek, and applied Kajal behind my ears to which I smiled. "Freedom, mast dikh rahi hai." Asad smiled at me while Mamu looked at him angrily. "This is the way, you talk to your elder sister? Use a suitable adjective Asad!" Mamu scolded him, while I felt sad for him because I knew he didn't meant that way. "It's okay, Mamu. Oye freedom ke bache, bhul Gaya? Aaj Shilpa Ka Sangeet hai, I need to reach in time! Chal, Scooty nikal!" I ordered and he nodded, and we both sat on our Scooty and reached the venue.

The venue was purely authentic South Indian! I mean, marigold flowers, South Indian type decorations, it made me remember my Chennai, I warned Asad to not go anywhere and not to do anything silly. I looked here and there, to find Shilpa, but she wasn't anywhere.

Suddenly, my foot slipped and I closed my eyes in fear when a masculine figure held me tight, his hands in my bare waist, as I was wearing a saree, I restrained his touch by curling myself , and that way, I got into his arms more easily, stupid me! I opened my eyes, to see the man smiling stupidly at me.

I balanced myself, and murmured "Thank You." And was turning when he said "Adarsh Sinha." I looked at him with eyes full of confusion. "I didn't ask you?"  This is a limit, pointless way of trying to build friendship! "I thought, poochogi? Handsome Banda hoon, gentleman type Ka hoon, which girl won't like to do friendship with me?" I literally guffawed at him , gentleman like seriously? "Acha, gentleman? If I am not wrong, gentleman don't flirt!" I made an akimbo and stood in front of him, now I really wanted to clear his misunderstanding of him being a gentleman!

"Excuse me? I didn't flirt with you! I was just trying to...." This was literally a limit, first of all he flirted with me, and then he is not ready to accept it, itna koi kaise stubborn ho sakta hai!" Oh, Mister! Don't try to mess with me, I clearly know what you were trying to do! I am Swadheenta Ramakrishnan, a lawyer! And if you did anything cheap with me, andar karwadoongi! It's better if you stay away from me!" I warned him and he was like least affected, I just looked at him in disbelief. " Robinhood Ka naam Suna hai?" He asked me and I was like what the fish! Of course, I had heard about him, he was like a saviour for the people of Delhi, he was an IAS officer, and most of the Delhi knew him with Robinhood, no one knew his real name, including me. "Suna hai, but tumse itne ache insaan Ka naam Lena Shobha nahi deta!"

"He is here only, you want to complain about me, na? Go ahead." He offered and I was like how was he so convenient about it? I was suspicious about him. I looked here and there, and found an Police officer, and asked him about Robinhood to which he pointed towards that flirt and the floor beneath me seemed to slip. He grinned and I felt like holding his neck.

"Hello, Miss. Robinhood, Adarsh Sinha. IAS officer, At your service!" He teased me by making this sarcastic remark and I had no words to speak. I went towards him and shouted "Shut Up!" And went away. On the way, I found Asad who had seen me and that Robinhood together asked "What was he doing with you? Tell me, I will kill him!" And I was so happy with his gesture of my younger brother, who was ready to do anything for his sister. All my anger vanished seeing him acting so cute ! "Aww, Asad. Kuch nahi hua. Tune itna Bol diya na, it's enough. I am okay! Chal, Abhi Shilpa ko dhundhte hai."

I finally, found Shilpa. She jumped at her place seeing me and ran to hug me. I hugged her back and she told me about the Dance competition, that was going to take place that night, and we had to practice for it. As usual, it was boys vs girls. And suddenly I heard a loud music, typical Sangeet music,to be precise.

Jo bhida tere
Jo bhida tere naino se tanka
Toh aashiq surrender hua

Jo bhida tere naino se tanka
Toh aashiq surrender hua

Oh my, that Robinhood was coming towards me dancing in filmy style, while I just looked on as I found Asad standing near, looking angrily at that flirt. I was scared, if Asad will do something, I had to control this situation,anyhow.

Tune sharmake window se jhanka
Toh aashiq surrender hua

Haan sun oh ri gori
Mohabbat mein tori
Na jaane kab June se December hua

Tune English mein
Tune English mein jab humko daanta
Toh aashiq surrender hua
Pyaar se maara galon pe chanta
Toh aashiq surrender hua

Jo bhida tere naino se

I kept on walking away from him, but then I thought, who don't I get him to taste his medicine? I thought to play along, and thought to insult him in his own way.

Haan look ye mera awesome
Adaaye beautiful hain
Jaanti hoon main tujhe
Kitna bloody fool hain (x2)

Jaanti hoon main tujhe
Kitna bloody fool hain

I asked him to come close, and he rejoiced.

Arre shaadiyon ka season na
April fool hai
Kaise hum kehde ke
Haan ji haan kabool hai
Innocence se face main dhaaka
Toh aashiq surrender hua

I pushed him hard but one of his friends held him and he maintained his balance, while I just looked on. I could see the look on Asad's face which said "I wish he was dead. Why someone had to help him!" He looked at me and I blinked in assurance.

Jo bhida mere..
Jo bhida mere naino se tanka
Toh aashiq surrender hua
Surrender hua

I danced along, and as I was dancing, I saw my idol, The Suhasini Sinha, the best lawyer in the world, sitting in one of the front benches, and suddenly I got conscious about me dancing in this song, what would she be thinking about me. First impression hi last impression hota hai, Swadheenta. This songs will kill you!

Scared, I stepped down the stage where we were dancing. Forgetting about the competition, and hurriedly sat on one of the chairs laid there. Asad got worried and came after me. "Freedom, kya Hua? Kuch kiya kya usne? Abhi dekhta hoon main usko."
Asad was ready to run into him when I held his hand, and made him sit on the chair beside me. "Baapre, itna gussa. Kuch nahi kiya usne, actually I just spotted Suhasini Mam, and got nervous. I couldn't think of anything, so I just stepped down. Itni si baat Thi, bas. Calm down, now. Let's eat something, and we'll go home."  I said and he felt better, Asad went towards the buffet to get something, while I was getting up when a plate of gulab jamun came in front of me, by Mr. Robinhood.

"Hamare jeetne Ki khushi mein mithai." He grinned and I sighed in disbelief. "Thanks but no thanks, main meetha khana pasand nahi karti. Yeh offer aap kisi aur ladki ko de sakte hain. "  I declared, and got up, when he held my hand and I was ready to slap him.
"Remember one thing, I am not a foolish girl who will tolerate your bullshit, find someone else. Main Meethi mirchi nahi teekhi mirchi hoon, khaane Ki koshish karoge Na, toh aisi mirchi lagegi jo kabhi nahi bhul paoge. You might be some Robinhood, but for me, you're a cheap flirt. Stay away from me, otherwise it won't be good for you."
I warned him and left the place while he stood there smiling dreamily.
