"I have a plan," Dhruv said.

Kavya snapped her eyes away from Dhruv's and blinked a few times. It would be better if she never directly looked at his eyes. "Plan? What plan?" Kavya asked her eyes narrowed.

"My mum thinks that you're the perfect little girl who would be the perfect wife for me..."

"You-"

"God let me finish." Dhruv cut her off even before she could finish her first word. "And my mum is very much impressed with you... So unimpressed her." Dhruv gave a huge grin. An ear to ear grin.

"You know right you look like a total idiot when you give that grin." Kavya raised her eyebrows giving him a questioning look. Dhruv's ear to ear slowly and quite visibly disappeared, making his lips pressed together tightly.

"And unimpressed really? It's not a software program that I can change from impress to unimpressed."

"When someone says they have a plan then you should let that person finish... It's simple math you know."

Kavya scoffed.

"So How I'm going to un-impressed your mum?" Kavya said empathizing the word 'unimpressed'.  

"My mum likes you too much, so do things which she wouldn't like or expect you to do. Like, don't be yourself. Wear something in front of her, which you would never wear, act dumb and spoil." This time Dhruv got a small grin but his eyes were full of amazement. "Remember the Shanaya girl from school act like her." 

"God she was stupid."

"She was hot." 

Kavya gave him a dirty look.  Dhruv opened his mouth say something but decided otherwise. "So what do you think?"

"I don't know. What if she tells my parents about what I did?" Kavya asked looking at him, genuinely worried. Her dad would kill her if Dhruv's mum told her dad that she was doing weird stuff.

"My mum will never. She really respects your family and she would be too sweet and respectful to them to say No face to face. So?" Dhruv saw the hesitation in her eyes. "Look do you have any other plan?" He asked.

"No right." He added when Kavya didn't say anything. "Then let's do it."

"I will pick you up tomorrow from your office then you can change into something else and after it, we will go to our house like we are hanging out and you know."

Kavya sighed. "Okay all right."  She had a weird feeling about all this.

"Give me your number so I can call you like if something comes up," Dhruv said pulling out his iPhone. Kavya gave a curt nod and exchanged numbers.

Sakshi and Vivan looked up when Dhruv and Kavya walked back. "What did you guys talked about?" Sakshi asked.

"Uh, nothing much." Kavya smiled a little. After paying for their food which the guys insisted they should pay they left.

"So see you guys later," Kavya said as they stepped out of the restaurant.

"No, come on... We'll drop you guys."  Dhruv said looking down at Kavya.

"But our houses are at the exact opposite of yours."

"It's no big deal," Dhruv said walked towards the driver's seat while Kavya sat down on the front passenger. Vivan raised his eyebrows at Sakshi, as she grinned at him about their friends. At least they were coming to a civil point.

...

After insisting for about 10 minutes straight that she have to be somewhere Kavya managed to convince Sakshi to go home alone. Although Sakhi gave a suspicious look before leaving. Kavya couldn't really tell her about it. Kavya started walking in the side lane when she heard a husky voice calling her name. "Kavya?"

Kavya turned around to find Dhruv sitting in his car which was parked right beside the road. "Hey." She said as she walked towards the window.

"Come in. We should get going." Dhruv said. Nodding her head she sat down on the passenger seat.  Dhruv quickly pulled his cars towards the closet mall. 

Kavya wasn't sure if she would be able to pronounce the name of the store correctly, so she kept her mouth shut. Although she wanted to tell him that they should go to another store as it looked really really and really expensive but she couldn't.  As soon as they got out of his car, he started to talk to some friend of his in his phone and she was left with no choice to follow him. When he hung up they were already inside.

"How can I help you, sir?" A pretty woman asked. Kavya noticed the tag on her uniform. She was one of the assistant buyers.

"It's okay. We will be fine." Dhruv said as the women nodded.

Kavya again quietly followed as Dhruv walked. The store was huge and divided into three sections mainly. Men, Women, and Kids. And the clothes there was divided into mini section according to the type of the caption. "So what do you think?" Dhruv asked looking around then finally looking back at her.

"I think your idea was stupid and we should go to some another place." Kavya tried to keep her voice and not trying to hiss at the same time.

"Why?" He frowned his forehead. "You know what let me see." 

Dhruv started picking some random clothes from shelves while Kavya tried to stop him with always incomplete words as he always made her stomach talking with 'Shh' or  'wait a minute.'

Dhruv picked up a blue flower printed bralet and hold it in front of Kavya while Kavya looked at him narrow eyes which were screaming 'are you serious?'

"Look at them. They are so cute he is literally helping her shopping and you idiot, go and date your phone." Kavya heard a girl's voice. Turning her head a bit she noticed some girl was glaring at her probably boyfriend who was holding his phone and shaking his head clearly annoyed.

She looked back to see Dhruv picking some denim shorts. "Come on let's try these." He said with a grin as he walked towards the changing rooms.

Kavya was about to follow him with the hip of clothing Dhruv had made her hold, Kavya turned around, took two steps towards the possible couple who looked up at her and spoke quietly in a deadly scary voice "We are not cute." With that, she followed Dhruv.

The next hour went by Dhruv making Kavya trying everything he chose while he sat down in front of the changing room, deciding if the dress is okay or not.

Finally, the duo decided with a brown crop top which was only a bit more modest than a bikini top and silver skirt which Kavya would never dream of wearing.

"Are you sure?" Kavya asked as she stood in front of Dhruv. I don't really feel comfor-" Dhruv held his denim jacket towards Kavya.

"You can wear this until we reach." Kavya took the jacket and wore it over her dress. It was almost like a dress as it was reaching her mid things. Her skirt wasn't even that long. "And I've got a feeling it's gonna work. Although my mom is pretty cool still she is a bit traditional too."

...

"17,000." Kavya hissed as they both walked out of the store. "Are you fucking serious?" When Dhruv and Kavya reached the counter, the bill was 17,000 bucks.

Kavya had it in her mind that although Dhruv would insist very much about paying she wouldn't let him and pay for the dress herself. But 17,000? She wasn't going to pay for something that was almost 1/4 part of her one month salary and something she didn't even like.

"It's okay..." Dhruv assured her. "It's not a big deal."

"Not a big deal... You know very well I'm going to wear this thing once like literally once so why bothered buying it from here when we can get it from somewhere else in a lot less money." Kavya said as she sat down on the front seat of Dhruv's car.

Dhruv rolled his eyes and sat down on the driver's seat. "It doesn't matter..."

"Doesn't matter really? You haven't changed a bit in these years... still so ungrateful." Kavya spoke looking straight at the road not noticing the stiff look Dhruv had before driving off to his house.

...

Well what do you think about Dhruv's plan and what do you think gonna happen next?
