Bani threw her mobile on bed with frustration, "why he isn't picking call?" she muttered under breath, nervously fiddling with fingers. She already marked this date on her calender with red marker, worst day ever.

First a fight with her boyfriend in college, second shouting at her best friend, third this alliance. When she returned home after hectic day at college her parents had simply asked to get ready as her cousin sister, meera is coming from Delhi.

Why should she get ready if her sister is visiting them?

As per her doubt, their parents had something else in mind. They invited her juju, tapish singhania who is meera husband, family too which may lead to her marriage alliance with tapish's brother, veeranshu singhania if everything fall in place.

She was angry. She was frustrated. She now want a person who is nothing but burden to earth so that she could kill him to let out emotions. She argued, cried stating she isn't ready for all this.

"we are not asking to marry right now bani. Just meet him if you don't like just say no"

No? As if they consider her no. Next second her grandfather made entry into scene emotionally blackmailed her to say yes keeping his age and health as main foundation. She half heartedly nodded, her grandfather never asked for anything, this was first time. She don't want to disappoint him same way can't marry the person.

She should make the boy say no.

"what are you studying?"

"MBA final year sir" veer answered with a smile to the nth question from bani grandfather. He didn't understand why his hobbies, studies, goals are the topic on the day of their family random meet.

Something is definitely fishy, their parents said they are going to visit his bhabhi's family he agreed too. When they reached sharma house, people gave him more attention than their damaad, tapish leading to questions on his current life and plans for future.

Later he got to know the actual reason from the whispers between his brothers. No way, he is definitely not gonna marry any girl soon. He argued. He disapproved. Neither of those reached his parents ears.

They finally played last card, dangerous one, blackmail. He gave up but temporarily. He made his mind to make this not happen but note him the girl have to do this job

He should make the girl say no.

He wear emotions on sleeves. She bearly let emotions out. If He is headphones, device helps to untie thread with world she is the soft music playing in them. If she is lonely moon in dense night sky, he is silent ocean under same sky. Far from reach yet its reflection on surface of ocean projects a significant view.
