Aditi Hundia,
The Fiery Businesswoman

❝ Get married? Mummy Papa, you're supposed to prevent me from suicide, not push me into the lion's den!❞

❝ Why don't Indian parents understand that wedding IS NOT everything! Food, drama, money and clothes is. And I don't need a man for that, I'm successful and rich enough to get myself all that.❞

❝ The last time I loved someone, I realised something really important; never prioritise someone who considers you an option.❞

Ishan Kishan,
The Pocket Dynamo

❝ The last time I'd told someone I loved them, I got banshee-like screams in response. Now we don't talk about the fact that I was playing around with Shubi and his fiancée, he doesn't consider her one, screamed because she thought he was gay.❞

❝ If you're asking for me, you're asking for drama. Drama and I are a buy one-get one free package, it goes where I go.❞

❝ What makes guys feel like being called pretty is an insult? Look at me, I'm the prettiest boy in the room and I'd say that loud and proud.❞

Ishditi,
The contract couple

[ Bold-Ishan,
Bold Italic-Aditi ]

❝ Why would you want to get into fake dating Ishan?❞

❝ Because my parents want me to get married and I do not want to cheat on the love of my life.❞

❝ The what? You've got a girlfriend, you didn't tell me and you're actually going to practically cheat on-❞

❝ No what the hell! I thought you were aware that the only love of my life is cricket! What's wrong with you?❞

❝ Now that makes sense.❞

❝ Everything I do and say always makes sense.❞

❝ If only that was true!❞

■■/\♡/\■■

❝ I'm actually surprised that Dad's impressed by you.❞

❝ What do you even mean by that? Did you presume him to dramatically show me to the doorway and declare that I'm unfit to date his daughter?❞

❝ Sorta, I mean he doesn't know you the way I do!❞

❝ Excuse me? I'm offended! I know when am I supposed to behave myself okay? Do you think of me as a child? I'm a responsible, mature adult!❞

❝ Sure, I totally believe that.❞

■■/\♡/\■■

❝ If you want to win over my family, then something that they really like is good food!❞

❝ But..but I don't know how to cook, Don't laugh at me! Do something!❞

❝ I was kidding, they'll love you without you needing to make an effort to impress them.❞

❝ How?❞

❝ Because I love you!❞

❝ What?❞

❝ I mean, because they presume I love you, so they'll love you too.❞

❝ Oh? That's...that's all right?❞

❝ Yeah....that's all.❞

■■/\♡/\■■

❝ Have you ever fallen in love?❞

❝ No...not really, I never had enough time to spend with girls, never got time to while away. I liked a girl though. She got engaged the day I had my international test debut.❞

❝ Did she....like you back?❞

❝ I don't know. Doesn't matter anyway. Not anymore at least.❞

❝ I'm sorry.❞

❝ Don't be! I've moved on quite a long time ago.❞

❝ But...she was your first love, was she not?❞

❝ She was never my constant. And I knew she'd never be. She'd never walked in my life to stay in the first place. I knew she wasn't the one.❞

❝ Then who is? If you knew she wasn't the one, then you probably know who's the one too.❞

❝ Yeah, I do.❞

❝ You do? So tell me! Who is it?❞

❝Hmm...You tell me, is it probably you?❞

❝ What?❞

❝ What?❞

■■/\♡/\■■

❝ Why did you to it? Save me back there?❞

❝ You're my boyfriend.❞

❝ Fake.❞

❝ Doesn't matter. Boyfriend anyway.❞

■■/\♡/\■■

❝ Remember when you asked me if I'm the one?❞

❝ Yeah?❞

❝ I'm beginning to think, maybe, I am.❞
