-------------------------

CHARACTERS

ISHVAY SOLANKI:  He always makes sure that he is happy or good enough to fool others that he is happy. With dark black hair and deep black jet eyes, he stands tall with his 6'2 feet of height and '25' years old. Even if he smiles all the time he just needs one reason to explode like a time ticking clock. And once he is angry...the outcomes surely aren't good.

SIYA AGARWAL: The quite aloof and less talkative but exactly the opposite with the person she likes and loves, though not many people are there in her life whom she can say she loves or even like. Despite her character of being shy and all she is  not a Pushover and her confidence is enough for her to stand for her own.

With honey brown hair and eyes, and a height of 5'2 she is the broken soul.

And the age of '20'.

DHRUV KAPOOR: He speaks little, maybe the same character as —Siya, his sworn sister, but the only difference we will find is he is not introvert even with little words of his, he is not broken or sad, yes he is very friendly with the person he likes. With his black brown hair and brown eyes he stands tall with his 6'2 feets of height. The age is '26'

AARVI MALHOTRA: Shows her emotions openly unlike all three of them. Is a big fan of adventures and talking especially. Her bubbly personality is enough to make anyone smile. And her dark hair and hazel eyes makes her more charming and alluring. The height of 5'3 is enough for her. And the age of '21'.

SIYA'S POV

"KYA!! TERI SHAADI FIX HOGAI HAI!?" I asked her or we can say I shouted in utter shock.

[WHAT!! YOUR MARRIAGE HAS BEEN FIXED!?]

"Oye Pagal!" She hissed with anger "Nai Nai or zor se chilla le or pure college m announce bhi kar de ja kar" Aarvi held her hands out in anger.

[Oye idiot! Yeah yeah, why don't you shout louder and make an announcement to the whole college?]

We were casually sitting on a tea stall outside our college while munching on Samosas and gulping down small sips of tea, when this gurlll has clearly given me the most interesting tea.

"Acha, chal theek hai naw" I said laughing between my words instead of just saying 'sorry' to her, of course there is no Thank you and sorry between friends.

[Okay, fine then]

I placed my hands on her shoulder with a serious face "But you haven't even told me, are you even my friend let alone the best friend" My tone was full of disappointment but I was cleaning those small crumbs stuck on my palm from her shoulders softly and silently.

Though she noticed what I was pulling on and looked at her shoulder then glared at me with "Are you Serious?" Eyes.

And I carefully pulled my paws back before this chudail comes in her real avatar.

She released a Sigh and then took a sip of her tea.

"What should I have told you? Even me the Bride to be got to know about this just yesterday when my father dropped this bomb on my head with my favourite rasgulle" she said the last line slowly as her crush has rejected her and took her chocolate too.

I kept my eyes on her with a serious look, "What?" She questioned.

"To fir..." I slowly moved my head down a very little and then again back at its position.

[Then...]

"To fir?" She initiated.

[Then?]

"To fir Rasgulle khae?" I completed my words making her silent for a moment before her eyes widen with the realisation of what I have said. She gave me a hit on my head "Ouch, don't hit me!" I complained.

[Then, did you eat those sweets?]

"Maru nhi to kya karu? Harkate dekhi h apni, socha tha problem share karungi acha feel hoga par nhi real problem to ye hai ki maine rasgulle khae ki Nhi?" Her tone gave "Unbelievable, Siya!" and she gave out a little huff as she said everything in one go. "...Nhi yaar, khae na maine of course khae"

["What else am I supposed to do? Have you seen your own actions? I thought sharing my problem would make me feel better, but NO the real problem is whether I ate rasgullas or not]

[...Come on, I ate them, obviously]

And we both started to laugh dumbly forgetting about all the problem in the world.

As the air shifted and we felt more at peace and comfort, I questioned again

"So atleast tell me about me soon to be Jija-ji"

She was now back to normal the calm happy and bubbly girl and seeing her happy is the biggest goal for me so yes I am happy too.

She thought for a moment "I think his name was Dhruv" she said.

"And..?" I asked curiously.

"Tham ja behan sochne to de na " she said and started think again.

[Hold on, let me think, will you?]

"So his name is Dhruv Kapoor, and he is a I guess a CEO God knows of which bankrupted company"

"Okay" I supported her with a small curt nod and a knowing smirk. I picked up my phone with one hand and still holding the tea cup from other one.

She played a little with her paper plate of already eaten samosa before continuing "His age is 25 and..." She paused.

I looked at her with confusion etching on my face "Yeah?".

"I heard people saying that he is very aloof and cold...and some also says that he is a Playboy" she putted one elbow on the table and rested her chin in her palm.

Suddenly as she remembered something she straightened up "Yes, I have his photo too let me show you..." She started looking in her phone "...or tu phone m kya kar rhi h m bol rhi hu na" she asked angrily.

[What are you doing on your phone? I'm talking to you, you know]

"Oh you said he was a CEO?" i asked and nodded.

"Yes but as I said I don't remember the name-" as she was about to complete her sentence.

I turned my phone's screen towards her "Dilox holdings" I said and her eyes widened but she didn't question as how I found it cause I am the Stalking queen.

Aarvi stopped in her tracks and completely turned towards me, confusion laced in her face the same one I had a few minutes ago.

"His social media account" I said with enthusiasm, in which Dhruv was standing, sitting, eating even but looking at the angles of photos and videos I bet he doesn't knew when he was shooted.

"To fir kaisa laga?" I asked teasingly.

[So, how did you like it?]

She took the phone from my hands and while scrolling and stopping "Acha" she said.

[Good]

"Oho Kya acha hai mere soon to be Jija-ji ya background Mai Jo company hai vo?" I laughed in between my words.

[Oh really, what's better-my future brother-in-law or the company behind him?]

A sweet red colour creeped on her cheeks and she warned "Chup Beth" though I still laughed more.

[Shut up]

After a few more minutes Arvi told me she doesn't wanted this marriage and I know she would have cried already if we were somewhere secluded.

But because of the family pressure from her parents she could not say no. They are always understanding but this time they kept saying it's good for you and all.

"Mai usse shaadi nhi karungi, kuch bhi ho jae. Dekh lena" she said.

[ I won't marry him, no matter what happens. You'll see]

She nudged at me "Anyways where do you even found so much information in no time?" She raised her brows and I Shrugged.

"Have you ever seen a magician revealing his tricks?"

ISHVAY'S POV

Aarvaksha Enterprises (The enterprises of Ishvay)

"Waah bhai...yeh to mujhe pata hi tha ki tu ek na ek din meri sautan dhundega hi, par itni jaldi? Yeh tujhse umeed nhi thi... Mere dost", I said in one go in full dramatic tone.

[Wow… I always knew this day would come, that you’d find me a rival. But this soon? I truly never expected this from you, my friend.]

Dhruv's lips twitched slightly "Chal side ho, lift aa gyi hai ", he said while entering the lift.

[Move aside. The lift is here]

"Mai sab janta hu, you are trying to change the topic, Right!", I teased him.

[I know everything you are just trying to change the topic, Right!]

"Okay okay, please don't eat my brain", he said and shook his head a little. "I will show you her photo, not now but after meeting"  A small smile playing on his lips.

"Chal Mera to fir bhi sahi hai, I will adjust and try to share you with her. But you think Riya is gonna let you marry someone else that easily?", I said making him pause, his smile losing its spark.

[Okay I will adjust and will try to share you with 'someone else' but you really think Riya will let you marry someone else that easily?]

"Why would she?" He said and even he knows how much of Riya loves him. "And care about yourself 'Mr. Solanki' not others"

I looked at him puzzled.

"Riya ki cousin ne agar tujhe kisi ladki ke sath bhi dekha na mar dalegi us bichari ko", he said making me roll my eyes.

[And you should worry about yourself, not me. If Riya’s cousin even sees you with another girl, she’ll end up killing that poor soul]

Kyu mai kya use virasat m mila hua Dhan hu? Ki koi or le nhi sakta?", I Said with a small pout which made him laugh.

[Why? Am I some inherited property of hers that no one else is allowed to have me?]

I Shrugged, "You really think I care about that  'Chipkali'?"

[Do you really think I care about that ‘lizard’?]

"You think I care about the big chipkali then?", He replied in his cocky tone.

The lift opened with a 'ting' at the same time and we started to move out of it.

"Of course not, but I would love to see the look on her face", I said dreamily, "Jab ye baat use pata chalegi na mujhe bula Li mai bhi dekhunga" I said laughingly.

[When she gets to know about this, don’t forget to call me, I want front-row seats]

Dhruv gave me a look.

"And anyways she doesn't know that you are already booked... By me", I said laughing between my words and he was laughing just the same as me.

"Abey Chu-", he has to stop before speaking any more non-sense.

[You As—]

A few businessmen were standing in front of us talking with each other.

They noticed us and stopped in their place.

They shook hands with me and then Dhruv's, "Hello Mr. Solanki. Hello Mr. Kapoor" they said in unison.

We just gave a nod and said, "Hello".

We all headed into the meeting room together and took our seats.

I sat in the CEO's seat and Dhruv sat beside me.

One of the employees stood from his seat and walked ahead with confident strides, with a little bow he started introducing himself and then shifted on the topic without wasting time. 

The presentation felt boring.

I looked around at everyone, the way they all wore clean and perfect air dried suits despite whatever they really are beneath that personality.

I moved my head towards Dhruv, he looked towards me at the same time.

Perfect timing.

"Bro, show me her photo", I whispered leaning towards him.

He did the same "Later", he said and shifted his focus ahead, the presentation is no better than a boring lecture though it's effective.

I coughed a little, "Ahem-" as I was clearing my throat, all eyes turned towards my side even the young man giving presentation stopped for a few moments.

I just looked at them with 'What are you looking at? Focus ahead' eyes.

Their gaze lifted from me and shifted ahead towards the panel.

"Photos~", I repeated slowly.

He looked at me with 'You are impossible' eyes, he must have wanted to hit me, completely defeated. But instead he passed me his phone.

The phone lock opened as soon as it took my face, I opened his gallery.

This man wouldn't have any photos of women, he is different from me. He doesn't change girlfriends like me literally everyday. He is not a womanizer.

I clicked on the photo, my brows arched upwards and a small pout appeared on my lips "Aarvi" Dhruv whispered telling me her name with a cocky grin on his face.

"My rival, huh?", I mumbled under my breath.

If this girl is good, nice and loyal then I am seriously happy for him, despite his tone or behaviour he is kind, unlike me.

But Still I wish she wouldn't come between me and bro as a wall. Hmph.

After what felt like eternity, finally the lectur—I mean the meeting came to an end.

I looked at my wrist watch "6:09 p.m." it read.

Everyone stood to pick their stuff and left the room, while those few men present started approaching me and asked for dinner to brag to others about it, beneath the, "Let's discuss this plan".

I looked at Dhruv he was already looking at me and After their being so persistent.

I sighed internally and nodded.

We all headed downstairs and I bid goodbye to Dhruv.

Unknown from the fact that after this dinner nothing will be the same.
