"What the hell? Seriously, okay some random, extremely handsome guy saved you yesterday and ---"

"--Wait, I didn't say Handsome!" I defended though I knew she wasn't going to give up.

"Shh--I am not done--Where was I ?? Yeah, and he then blackmailed you to act as his girlfriend in front of his parents and you are telling me this, NOW?" Aisha yelled, as I put my phone a little away from my ears.

"This happened yesterday and not a year ago. So, will you please stop overreacting and tell me whether you're coming with me or not." I raised my eyebrows though she wouldn't be able to see them through the phone.

"Okay fine, I am in! So from when does your girlfriend duty begin?" I could feel her smirking on the other side.

"Today at 5 pm, VR mall!"

"Oops!"

"What? Now please don't back off, I w--"

"Hey, I have to go with Vivaan in a while. See, I am really sorry. If it was any other day, I would have--"

"Hey, It's okay, just carry on. I will murder you later. Let me ask Ankita--"

"Hey you can carry on with your guests, I will explain about this to Anki"

"Okay then, I will hang up!" I slowly moved downstairs

Rohit and his parents came a while ago, and are downstairs talking to mum and dad ,but since I wanted someone to accompany me to the Girlfriend drama, I decided to talk to Aisha and so I had excused myself from them.

I was in the stairway with just a few steps left, when I chose to eavesdrop them.

Eavesdropping is cool you see!

"--So Rohit invited Megha last week to our home. We totally loved her nature and after years we could sense her presence filling our house with joy and happiness and we immediately understood that she was the one for Rohit, and we agreed with the marriage " I heard Rohit's mom, Varsha explaining.

Okay, so this puny little sister of mine has already met his parents in their home. Obviously, she is way faster than me.

And yeah obviously, I made the world's awkward entry as they all gave a smile at me as if nothing happened and continued with their discussions.

"Don't mistake us, but you said that Rohit has an elder brother, Vikram and also that he isn't married, then what is the need to rush with Rohit's marriage?" Dad asked, confused.

"Well, actually my husband is not in good health, he had an attack a few weeks ago, so we just want both our sons to get settled before anything unpleasant unfolds. Well yeah, Vikram would also be getting married along with Rohit"

"So, what do you think about this marriage Mr & Mrs.Sharma" Rohit's dad opened up his mouth, which was zipped all these while.

• • • • •

"Okay then, we will have the engagement coming Sunday, and the marriage a few months later, what say?" Mrs.Malhotra suggested.

Aww, i like her already. Why don't you have the marriage on Monday or Tuesday so that I can get rid of this little monster sister.

"But, isn't that a bit --" Mom turned her gaze towards me.

"--soon?" Mrs.Varsha completed.

"I know, but just want our sons to settle down as soon as possible. Do you have any problem with the dates, if not then--"

"No, we are okay with it" Dad cut in as Rohit and Megha exchanged glances and smiled sheepishly.

Eww. Desperate little teenagers.

"So suhana, you haven't settled?" Mr.Malhotra asked questioningly with a smile.

Ohh yeah, I was expecting this topic since the very beginning.

"I prefer to concentrate on my studies and career right now uncle, so that I could do free medical checkup for you in future"

Wait--wait--wait

Did anyone see me smirk?

Oh you better know that I did.

"But if you are in love with someone then do tell us, so that you can also get married along with Vikram and Rohit. Three marriages on the same stage. Wow, that would be interesting. "

Okay did I say I like her?

Forget that.

"I think two marriages would be fine aunty. Right now, I am focused only on my studies. I don't have time for anything useless"

"Okay then as we had said, we will have the engagement coming sunday?"

Uff! Mr.Malhotra & family are a bit desperate, I guess.

"Yeah done, but only 3 days are left, will--" Dad hesitated.

"Don't worry about the arrangements at all Mr.Sharma, it will be done in a swift." Mr.Malhotra grinned.

"Okay then, my sons are getting engaged with your daughters--oops, I mean daughter coming Sunday. Sorry,Slip of the tongue" She smiled.

Oh really?

Slip of the tongue?

"Okay let's have lunch" Mom diverted understanding the rage in my not-so-happy smile.

And after some chit chat, they decided that the marriage date will be chosen later.

Mumma was completely pissed off. Not because Megha didn't tell us about her visit to Rohit's house, but something very serious.

"Seriously? I had prepared 7 starters, 7 main courses and 5 dessert dishes and they said 'We are fine with coffee ' " Mum imitated Mrs.Malhotra.

"Mom, it's okay, why fear when I am here. I will finish them all" Megha grinned like a clown.

"Beware, Rohit wouldn't prefer to marry a Pumpkin " I faked a smile and moved to my room.

"Anki idiot pick up the call!" I cussed her in all possible words under my breath, as I stomped my leg, while standing in front of the mall.

That's it. I am doomed by my own friend.

It's almost 5pm and she hasn't arrived yet.

"I am damn sure, she must be still pondering on what to wear, as if it's her date!" I mumbled to myself while I decided to confront Aisha.

Suddenly my phone vibrated, as the Caller ID popped up.

Mr.Narcissist

Ohh god! I seriously don't want to meet him alone.

What if he drugs my drink? Or what if he abducts me?

Wait-what if this is all his plan to abduct me.

Fake story and fake parents?

"What is he exactly planning to do with me? And after kidnapping--?" My jaws dropped as violent images crossed my mind.

"Well, That wouldn't be a bad idea."

My hair flipped back as I turned back and saw the Greek Narcissist God smiling-- No--smirking at me.

Wait, did I say that a bit loud?

"Ohh shut up!" Though I was sweating profusely.

"Hey calm down annebelle" He snapped as I jumped back to reality.

"Don't call me by names" I retorted.

"Okay babe, so shall we enter the mall?" He sneered.

Control. Control, just a few more minutes and then you can get rid of him.

"Your parents are here already?" I was nervous for no reason as we took the escalator.

"Yeah, I said 5pm right. We reached here sharp. And may I know why you were standing outside the mall?" I gasped as his hands brushed against mine and refused to move.

"Huh--I thought--that--" I was searching for words as I was grabbing for some air.

I seriously can't breathe right now.

Can someone ask him to just move away!!

"You thought what?? That I would introduce you to my parents in the Car parking or something?" He chuckled, as we stepped out.

Pheww!!

Wait--what??

This guy smiles?

I have only seen him demanding.

"Yeah well, now remember this

No matter what my parents say, just . And to whatever I say, just say , that's all you have to do."

"But what if your parents want to meet me tomorrow or later. I won't act on a daily basis or something. I will act today and the minute your parents buy this drama of yours, we are done! Right?"

Of course, I had no idea what the hell was running in his mind.

"Ohh, well, they would definitely bug me to meet you again " He answered calmly.

"What??? But I will not--"

"Don't worry, I will tell them you died, in an accident and I can't marry anyone else.

"What?" My mouth opened widely.

"Just calm down and act like a good girlfriend for today and then you are done."

"You don't have to worry, I will act perfectly for this honorable role." I snickered.

"Oh well, I knew that the minute you hugged me yesterday along with that Babe drama of yours." He smirked.

"Well, what is your name?" He asked again even after yesterday's failed attempt .

"Ohh come on, I am not going to swallow your name, especially not when you are standing right in front of me!"

Duh!

"Suhana" Which almost came out as a whisper.

"Okay, So--I will call you--hmm Suha"

He wants to call me Suha? Eww.

"What? No one calls me that! Infact who keeps such unrelatble, boring nickname?" I lied, expecting him to change the nickname.

"Me." He smirked.

"Well, so where are your parents?" I diverted, as we entered a 5 star cafe.

I haven't been to this cafe earlier as I didn't want to sell my kidneys to pay the bill.

Woaahhhhh! This place looks too classy.

One day, if at all I get a boyfriend or someone, I would definitely come here.

I was gazing around the cafe while I was immersed in my La-La land.

"Hullo!" He snapped, as I jumped out my trance.

"Ready?" His eyes widened as I nodded faintly.

An unknown tingling in my stomach said it all.

"Just say yes to whatever I say!" He said calmly as he suddenly intertwined our fingers.

Was it necessary to hold hands?

We walked forward towards the last table as I could figure out two couples seated facing the other side.

"You are gonna rock it babe" He whispered near my ears against my hair as we almost reached the table.

"Mom and dad, this is my girlfriend and Suha, this is mom and dad" He declared as I moved my gaze towards the couple.

"Suhana?"

Oh. My. God.
