"Okay, so you sneaked out to have a conversation with him and you heard him say these totally unbelievable dramatic lines?" I threw my hands up in the air.

Give me a hundred dollars, I still won't believe it!

"Ugh! Hell yeah!! How many times do you want me to tell that he did tell that"

"No, I ain't believing this!"

"Okay then just don't believe it, I am leaving " Ankita turned away for the hundredth time, which was obviously because of me.

I didn't know that it was so easy to piss off Ankita. Well, I am going to try this more often from now.

"Okay fine, Explain everything to me everything from first. Please" Time to use those puppy eyes.

"Fine, Let me tell you ,again!" She gave me those undeniable 'I-will-kill-you' stares, but who cares.

"Since, you weren't going to introduce me to Vikram this decade, I decided to sneak out and leave Aisha behind so that I could have a conversation with him. Well, when I reached the Parking lot, I saw Vivaan, aka Aisha's brother aka your not-so-sweet crush, who broke your teeny tiny heart and--"

"I know who Vivaan is, are you going to continue with the story or continue crushing on your new crush Anki?!"

"Eww, he isn't my type at all!!!! Periodt. Coming back, as we both love Eavesdropping, I was standing behind the car and was listening to their conversation, to know what Vivaan had to do with Vikram."

"Then?? Tell me??"

"Stop acting like you're listening for the first time. Duh!"

Well just the fifth time. Well it wasn't something you, me or anyone would believe.

"Their conversation did start normally, but then the mercury hit the Temperature, when Vivaan had a thick face, gritting his teeth and said, "She is mine, and we are meant to be together from the very beginning. So just stay away!" Trust me my eyes would have popped Out when he told that. But then Vikram's reply almost made me faint over there."

"Well, I atleast believe until this part, but this Vikram's dialogue which you are telling, seems to be like dubbing of Hollywood movies."

"Oh I heard him clearly, he took a minute for himself and literally said, "Maybe it's time for you to realize that it's not gonna happen " Dude I saw his nerves popping in his forehead. And from the way he said that, I really think he has fallen for your charm. "

"Wait-what? You--"

"So, it wouldn't be an arranged marriage anymore, It's a Love marriage, wait-no, It's a Love-Arranged marriage. Oh my God!! Suha, I am so happy for you!!"

There she goes, AGAIN!

"Shut up Anki, I am damn sure that you are mistaken for some other line. "

"Not at all, I heard him and at the same time, I saw you come from the Campus and so I pulled you aside before your husband or your ex spots you."

"He is not my ex, stop telling that!"

"Oh my God, so you agree he is your husband?! See you told by yourself. "

Ugh. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

"Okay so what do you want me to do?" I was confused.

Of course, No one would believe if anyone says Vikram said those words. We just literally fought 2 hours ago in front of the whole freaking campus in the parking lot and this girl next to me wants me to believe that.

"Listen to me, Now go back to the parking lot and go with him to get your Engagement Ring, but once you get into your car, just call me and meanwhile ask him about Vivaan, without him suspecting that you know, and then we both will know about his Love feelings for you. Oh my God, I am already flying in the air. Congrats Suhaa!" She gave a bone crushing hug.

"Okay fine. I am going, wait where is Vivaan , is he--" I turned back halfway.

Well if he's still there, I am not going back. He messes with my feelings everytime I look at him.

"I saw him enter the campus, he must've gone to give Aisha's paper presentation which she had forgotten. "

Okay fine then.

I waved her back and proceeded towards the parking lot.

Do you really think he must've said that?

Well, I still can't believe that.

I reached, as I saw him leaned against his car as he checked his perfect black Daniel Wellington.

Okay, Calm down Suha. He is not an Alsatian dog, just stay calm. But he did look like one. You can do this.

"Hey!" I said as he turned towards me.

Well I just told him, ' and now I just did.

It isn't awkward right?

Yeah, not at all.

Well just 99.9% + 0.1% awkward.

"Finally, get inside the car" He ruffled his hair and opened his door as I saw him get inside and wear his seatbelt.

I slowly moved aside and with my eyes fixed on him, confused. I wore a bluetooth on my left ear and covered it with my hair, and got inside the car.

"Shall we leave?" He asked before starting the engine.

Well what would he say if I tell him a NO?

Probably, stuff a kerchief in my mouth and kidnap me?

Wait-Did I bring the Pepper Spray today? Let me check in my bag.

"Hello baby?!!" He snapped in front of my face, as I jumped on my seat.

"Huh? What?"

"Shall we leave? Did you submit your assignment or you want another decade for it?" He asked in the most indecent and blood-boiling way.

"Yeah, we can leave!" He turned my face away and silently dialled Ankita's number as the car drove off the campus.

Well yeah, she attended in the first ring.

She is more eager than me. Poor girl is single for a long time! Maybe I should put a poll on Instagram asking if anyone's willing to date her. Should I?

"Stupid girl, Daydreaming or what? Ask him the damn thing!"

But how to start a conversation with him? How? How?

"Ahem" I cleared my throat, trying to gain his attention, but he was too busy concentrating on the road, perhaps.

"Ask him Suha, what are you thinking? Ask him something." Anikta was literally pressurizing me from the other end.

"Huh--So how was your day??"

Shit!! Shit!! Why did I even ask that?

"Seriously Suha?? You could have just asked what he was talking to Vivaan instead of asking this!"

"Huh?" I turned towards me, eyebrows twitched.

I just ruined it.

"Huh--I mean Good or Bad?"

Nothing much,Just ruining it a little more.

"Yeah it was good, until we had a fight on the campus and met a rotten-minded guy."

Oh, so he blames me for his bad day?

"Wow, I think he is referring to Vivaan as a rotten-minded guy!! Come on just ask him!"

"Ohh tell me about the rotten-minded guy!"

"What??? Suhana!" Ankita screamed as I was on the verge of turning deaf.

"Are you okay?" Vikram asked confused as he sided the car to the left.

"Yeah, Huh, why?" I brushed my hair trying to cover the bluetooth.

"You seem to be blabbering a lot more than usual, that's why. You want some water? Here!" He stretched his hand to the back seat and got me a bottle.

What am i supposed to do now?

"Just drink it girl!" I could literally imagine her hit her face when she said that.

I took a sip and nodded to him that I was fine as he took off a few seconds later.

And then I was dancing in the air filled with awkward silence while hearing Ankita swearing me to ask him about it.

"Looks like you have quite a number of fans!" He said , slowly breaking the silence with his eyes fixed on the road.

"What fans?"

"Possessive Secret boyfriend or Ex-Boyfriend, I guess" he said, with his eyes still fixed on the road.

"Huh---You mean Vivaan?" I asked shakily.

"Yeah that guy!"

"You know him already?"

"We had a deal on a project, which I am going to cancel today!"

Oh yeah, how did I forget Aisha's birthday party.

If only I hadn't met him that day, I wouldn't have been stuck in this situation.

Yeah you just would have been a huge feast for those Local goons, my mind mocked me.

"Huh why? I mean why cancel the deal?"

"He has a demanding tone, which he dares to use with me. He needs to know that he can't order around me, and if he does, he is going to lose. And his deal isn't going to bring me much profits, but it will bring loss--for him!" He said calmly.

So he said that because he said it in a tone which he doesn't like? Duh.

"Suha, come on don't come to your own conclusions just ask him about--"

Time to end this here.

"Wait-why am I even telling you all this? Well, how do you know him?"

"Me--huh--He is Aisha's brother!"

"Oh just stay a bit away from him"

"Why?"

"Well he just sounded like a lion ready to pounce on you. Your wish whether to be his prey or not" He maintained the regular coolness in his voice.

I will stay away.

"How long will it take to reach?"

"Another decade"

Very funny, come on clap your hands everyone.

Then why don't you tell it loudly?, my mind mocked again.

"Well what's your zodiac sign?"

"Why are you even asking?"

"Just asking, why else would I ask?"

"I thought you wanted it to match our kundalis to get a marriage date, for us. " Sarcasm was flowing all the way down from his mouth.

It's such a waste talking to a guy like him.

I turned my head away and then opened my phone only to see 104 messages from Ankita swearing me in all innocent good words, for hanging up on her.

It has been almost 10 minutes since we spoke and my mouth is craving for a conversation.

Maybe I should call Aisha or Ankita and listen to them or atleast ask them to tell me a story. It's so damn boring. Looks like this guy won't even switch on the radio.

"Sagittarius " His cold voice filled the air.

"Huh? " I asked, confused.

"Sagittarius is my zodiac sign"
