" Where are you Vikram?", shouted a voice from the phone.

Vikram had to pull the phone away from his ear to spare his hearing. He calmly answered, "I am in the parking. Now tell me, which floor are you on and where do I meet you?"

The voice replied, " Finally, you are here. Come on the 2nd floor, meet me in front of pizza hut."

Vikram hanged up hearing the instructions and made his way to the insides of the mall.

Meanwhile, Juhi finally had sometime for herself. She was busy watching a newly launched series on Netflix when her phone rang.

It was her friend Ankita. Smiling, she answered the phone, " Hey Ankita! How are you?"

" I am good, Juhi. But you seem to have forgotten me.", complained Ankita.

" No, how can I forget you! Besides, you don't have time for us, now that you are married."

" Very funny. I'm in the town for few days, this is your chance to meet me. "

" Sure, I'm free. When and where?"

" How about dinner at our favorite restaurant?"

" Yes! See you at 8."

Ankita said her bye and hanged up.

Juhi went downstairs to inform her mother of her plans. After that she resumed her Netflix and couch chilling.

Rahul Sinha, was waiting for Vikram, annoyed at his friend as he spotted him making way towards him, walking way too slowly.

Once Vikram was there, he punched his shoulder and said, " You are never late for meetings and you come late to meet me!"

Vikram just shrugged his shoulders.

"Now, you are not even replying. I should start meeting you at your office only. At least you would be on time, since you don't leave it only." grumbled Rahul.

Vikram was amused, " Sorry man, got caught up in work and lost track of time. And no need to come to office for friendly meetings, my staff and I can't handle you."

Rahul narrowed his eyes, " You can't handle me ,you say. Your staff handles you, I'm a much better and friendlier boss than you."

" Sure, sure. I'm hungry. Let's go somewhere and continue the conversation."

Rahul agreed and led him inside Pizza hut, there was no other option. Since, Rahul was a sucker for Pizzas.

They ordered their food and started chatting.

Vikram remembered that Rahul had gotten married to his long time girlfriend a couple of years back, so he asked, " How is marriage?"

" Ain't you too early to ask that? ", Rahul nudged Vikram.

Vikram annoyingly asked, " How do you deal with it, I mean you don't feel suffocated having the same person around you all the time?"

Rahul chuckled, " First of all, we are not around each other all the time. She roams more around you than me. Moreover, you don't feel suffocated, when you give each other space and have a life other from each other."

Vikram pondered upon his words, he was interrupted by Rahul all of a sudden, " Why do you ask?"

Rahul had made googly eyes.

Vikram, really, wondered, how did his wife tolerate this cartoon. " My parents have kind of fixed my marriage."

" When did this happen and to whom?"

" Yesterday? To Juhi Mishra, daughter of Mishra group of hotels."

" Oooh, the girl is really nice. I have met her a few times. She is way too opposite of you. Outspoken and doesn't mind expressing her thoughts. "

" Are you comforting me or scaring me?"

Rahul chuckled, " I am just telling you, what I know of her. You should start meeting her before marriage to know your compatibility, since the match is "kind of fixed"." , he adviced good naturedly.

" I will think about that." Vikram replied thinking of his suggestion.
