We reached a club.

A CLUB for god sake. Is he for real?

I mean first dadu woke up early in the morning, mixing up all my wardrobe,

he took one of my white shirts, placed it on himself trying to check if he is looking "cool" in that or not and when he wasn't satisfied, he threw it on my face murmuring "ullu da patha Ek achi shirt nii hai iske 1000 shirt mein".

Does not he wear a kurta all the time?

After wasting three hours he finally found " His type" Of shirt. Spraying four different colognes on him, stolen from my collection. He finally got ready.

Everything was still fine until he forced me to change in his choice of shirt.

He took me to meet many girls before but he wasn't that excited any of the time.

He even refused to eat anything oily since he suddenly turned into a "no oily food only fewer carbs diet".

I, Anoml, and Sakshi got a mini heart attack looking at our health-conscious dadu of five hours.

He threw me in the car and then drove to the club.

He walked out of the car in full Bollywood swag, wearing goggles.

He walked to a beautiful old lady dragging me along.

Did he mean we are going to see a girl for him and I took it up upon myself?

He walked to her like a lost puppy and I trailed behind him. He took her hand in his and kissed her hand bowing before her, she blushed and I was left amused.

Is he for real?

There was a girl standing beside the old lady, I felt as if I had seen her before. She was looking quite nervous.

Soon the lady noticed me"satsriyakaal Veer puttar." Dadu glared at me and that's when my basic manners kicked in, I was supposed to greet her before. I folded my hands, responding to her back.

she nodded before side hugging the girl beside her, "Meet my daughter Suhani"

Suhani... Wait... What?

Suhani?

I noticed her carefully, she was Suhani indeed.

I was shocked.

I mean how on the earth did we end up in the same club.

I kept looking at her...scanning her from head to toe.

I guess she noticed me before..she was also not expecting our meeting again. She kept looking here and there trying to avoid any conversation.

Her Dadi Ji nudged her only then her eyes settled upon mine. I forgot to breathe for a second when her jet black onyx bored into mine.

We both were looking at each other.

And that's when I noticed her carefully.

Damn, she was looking hot...smoking hot and cute at the same time.

And we were also twinning thanks to Dadu.

Oh, my heart! She looked like a barbie doll. So fragile and so innocent.

But how did she came here? I mean she can but aren't the club and her poles apart? It's so unlikely of her.

Did you forget Veer for whom you are talking about? People change, their emotions change. They leave old things when they find new ones. It must have been one of her lies. Accept everything about her was fake. Everything about her was a lie.

Those deep innocent eyes of hers reminded me of her truth...what she was and what she is now.

They reminded me how she used her innocence to break me into pieces.

Her innocence is her weapon.

And I bloody hate the fact that even after knowing the truth of her eyes still I lost myself in them.

I dislike her so much even then how does she make my heart go crazy with just one glimpse of hers.

In all these years, I thought I moved on from her but little did I know that her one presence will push me again to the same place from where I started.

Her mere glance would again push me into darkness.

How ironic the one who used to be the reason for my happiness is now the reason for my disdainful situation.

The old lady nudged her for a good minute after which she said a meek 'hi' looking at my shoulder.

I nodded at her.

"We will leave you two alone. Talk and enjoy yourselves" Dadu enthused.

When we kept standing there with a straight face not saying a word, he again chirped

"what are you thinking kids? sit and have drinks...talk freely then we will be decide okay?"

he shot me a "Don't-create-trouble-and-be-a-good boy " Look.

He went taking Dadi Ji away. I think more than us he wanted to spend some time with certain someone.

Only one question was running in my mind 'why she is sitting here looking for a groom when she already has a boyfriend.

Is she cheating on him as well?

Between the loud crazy music, there was an awkward silence between us.

I sat down on the couch maintaining a decent distance from her, she too followed the same.

Her Strong Lavender fragrance occupied my senses. Like every time she again managed to pull the strings of my heart. I feel for her yet I dislike her. Why everything is so tough between us?

Where did that shy Suhani and veer go? Why did our innocent feeling change into painful memories?

Clearing off my mind, I saw Dadu and Dadi enjoying their drink in the other corner.

At least someone is enjoying it.

Not knowing what else to do I ordered a drink.

One after the other I gulped 3 shots of vodka. Since I am a pro drinker, I was still in my intact senses. But she surely cringed. She does not like alcoholic drinks.

At least something was true about her.

She was so close to me still so far. Why did she do that? After destroying everything why she isn't happy now?

I was bearing her silence for years.

No explanation for her act she just left like that.

How can I miss the chance when she was sitting in front of me and I could ask her all my questions.

"So... So Miss Doc, getting married ha? " I smirked at her cockily.

She didn't answer instead turned her face away leaving me fuming at her.

She has to answer my questions. I am bearing her silence for long not anymore.

"Tell me otherwise I will throw the drink on this couch " I threatened her.

Why did I even say that? It's not like she owned the couch. Couldn't I come up with a better sentence?

"Do whatever you want to do" She shrugged not even looking at me.

Am I that bad? What is wrong with me? Why just why she does not look at me? Where do I lack?

"You came here to see the groom right? C'mon, look at me. See your supposed groom" I poked her shoulder.

"Did you lost your mind? "She stopped her fidgeting of hands. Looking at me curiously, she jerked away my hand.

Guess what? I am cactus.

"Don't you know you are sitting beside your to-be husband" I gulped another shot.

"Oh really? " She asked.

Why was she playing with my mind again? Did she come there to reject me again? Did she want the sadist pleasure of hurting me again? And the thought rose severe anger in my spine.

"Yes" I gritted my teeth.

"Are you out of your mind? Why would I marry a man who is already married? And on top of that why do you think I will marry you in this birth or even coming seven births for that matter? Leave that why do you even think I am interested in getting married? " She snapped at me.

My Wild beauty. Oops, not mine.

But wait who is married?

"Who is married? "

" The supposed to be husband of course" She rolled her eyes.

"I am not married"

"How can you lie bluntly? You are a father of a child. And still, you want to get married? Shameless" She threw a disgusting look at me.

"And who told you that? "

"I myself saw your wife and child. Stop lying. Sakshi is such a sweet girl and you are betraying her?

Hell, what can I even expect from you? Disgusting you are"

What? Did she hit her head somewhere?

"Why do you think I will do that? " The game was getting interesting. She had some great thoughts about me.

"You tell me why would you do that? Are not you satisfied? You want a mistress right? Want me as one of your mistresses" She smirked with tears-filled eyes.

"Shut up" I roared losing my senses. My head was seething with anger. I never thought anything like that not for her, not for anyone else.

Did she think so low of me? Did not she know me? How easy it was for her to doubt my character? The thoughts left me wondering if she was the same suhani I loved once? my nails were digging in my palms.

"Why should I? ... You... "

"Sakshi is my sister" I was fuming. I wanted to hurt her, scream at her.

When did I turn so disgusting for her?

Her eyes grew as wide as saucers. Her lips formed a perfect O.

"I... I... I " She was finding it hard to form words.

"I know what you thought. What can I expect from you? You love playing with people's emotions isn't it" I fake laughed, of course, the last line was for a different context.

"You..." She was about to say something before she could continue Dadi came back.

"Are you two enjoying? " She asked dancing to the tunes.

Very much.

"Beeji be honest with me" That ugly chimpanzee asked her.

"Suhu baby talk to him, I know I tricked you into bringing you here but he seems to be a nice guy. Only if you will say yes then only we will get you married okay puttar Ji" She nervously laughed and went away.

"I will never get married to you" She glared at me.

What does she think of herself?

"As if I am dying to marry you. Even if you will be the last girl on the earth, I won't marry you" I replied monotonously, picking up another shot.

~lair. Were not you the one who dreamed about your wedding with her? Were not you the one who wanted to marry her as early as possible? Were not you the one who wanted to keep her all to you?

Shut up. Yes, I was stupid. I was dumb, an idiot, and whatnot. But not anymore.

I was about to drink the shot when I heard her" Don't drink too much"

"Huh! Why do you care? "

"I don't care. I am a doctor, just advising you for your own good. "

"Whatever " I rolled my eyes at her and drank the wine.

"By the way when are you getting married to your boyfriend or you are playing with his feelings too? "I chuckled dryly at her face.

I wanted to hurt her. I wanted to make her feel the same pain in which I was burning. I wanted to make her taste her own medicine.

"You don't need to take care of my married life and I don't have a boyfriend" She spat on my face.

"Awwwwwww! Such a cute liar. I saw you with my own eyes hanging on a tough guy who looked nothing less than a utensil cleaning soap"

"Shut up! He is not a utensil cleaning soap. He is Aarav if your memory is not rusted you might remember him"

Aarav? Who Aarav?

"The one who studied with... Us..." she stooped abruptly, I looked at her but she continued turning her face "Who studied with You and me in the senior secondary"

"He is aarav ..the same aarav who always stood by your side but you did not even think of that friendship before breaking that bond.

The same friendship which you broke that day."

Suddenly I felt relieved in my burning heart. I felt light. I felt as if something heavy lifted off my heart. But Aarav...Every incident started playing in front of my eyes...from our first day of friendship to our ugly last fight and breaking of a bond.

He changed so much. From a chubby cute guy, he has turned into a handsome macho man. I hope he proposed to her and this time she didn't friend-zoned him. Poor guy, I still remember his face when she said " you just my good friend". I was laughing like crazy and then he teased me that one-day Suhani will also friendzone me and then I will understand his deep pain. That time I just chucked it off but today even if she would have been my friend only I would have been dancing on one foot.

Anyways, I am glad. I saw her real face. I am good.

"Isi baat pe ek aur peg. " I picked up another glass when she snatched it away from me.

"Stop it. This is very harmful" She screamed with tears glistening her eyes.

I pulled her closer, much closer that she was almost sitting in my lap. Her hot breath was fanning directly on my face. Her black eyes were looking into mine. Her one hand was resting on my shoulder and the other on the vodka glass, she was snatching away a second before. We were sitting this close for the first time. Her lips were quivering and her form was shivering. I would be lying if I say that the proximity did nothing to me. In fact, the whole group of butterflies was somersaulting in my stomach.

Her big round earrings were kissing her cheeks.

"Why do you care? " I whispered huskily.

I wanted to hear something soothing to my ears.

Something that would take away all my pain.

I expected a de lulu answer from her. Wanted an answer of my choice.

I kept gazing at her curiously, she said nothing, she did nothing. She just kept sitting with tearful eyes.

Before I could say something else Dadu and Dadi Ji came back.
