Arsam's POV

I knew it, haadi Bhai will never agree on this arrange marriage thing.and when I tried to convince him , he started turning the topic towards me.. So I decided to take arisha's help... After all mom has told both of us to talk to bhai ...mai akela kyu fasu...so I went to shiza's room to talk to aru....

"Yaar aru , you have to help me... You have promised me..." I was convincing her ... Shiza was also there... She also heard the whole thing...

"Maine kaha tha na... Tumhara bhai hai tum jhelo..." she shrugged...

"Tumne toh ye bhi kaha tha ki tum mujhe wahi reh ke motivate karogi ...tumne toh mom se promise bhi kiya tha... Now you are scared of haadi bhai,right? " I said

"Listen Mr arsam malik ... Mai nahi darti tumhare bhai se, yaad rakhna ye baat... Bas mujhe.... "

"Aapi karein na haadi bhai se baat please.... Kya Pata aapki baat hi maan lein wo" shiza said cutting her..

"Chalo thik hai....but jaldi haan... Hamein college bhi pohonchna hai " she said in flat tone..

(After 15 minutes)

"Here..take this coffee, go and give him... Tum baat start Karna... We will join you ok... " I handed her the mug.

"Okay.....come on Follow me" she said dramatically and moved towards haadi bhai's room... We followed ...

We were now in front of his room... We peeped inside.. He was standing near the book rack..

"Jao aru ... " I whispered and pushed her inside ...

Haadi's POV

It was Monday morning... Today is my meeting with clients... Everything is ready... I just hope everything goes well.. And I give the good news to dad when he'll return... I was thinking,searching for a file... Suddenly I heard a noise ... When I looked back ....

"Ahm... Ab... Ba... Aapki coffee... " it was arisha ... She was standing near the door with the coffee mug in her hand looking at me with a huge smile....was wearing a magenta pink colour kurta with green leggings.. Her long hairs were properly tied up. God, how beautiful she looks.

Wait, Am I checking her out? Hell .... No... Why would I ... ?

Ye q coffee le kr aai hai ?

"Jee rakh dein wahaan table pe..." I said calming my heart..

But she came and stood next to me near the book shelf...with that coffee mug still in her hand..

Please...aj nahi ... Ye subah subah kyu aayi hai... Phir se ye kuch ulta seedha na kar de...just Act normal haadi ... Breathe in... Breathe out... In.... Out... Yeah

"Aap rakh dein wahaan...I'll take it" I again said looking at her while she was just smiling ...

What the hell is wrong with this girl... Kabhi bewajah ladhti hai... Kabhi bewajah smile karti hai ... Pagal hai kya yeh...

I went to my bed and sat.. When I looked up she was standing near the bed with the coffee....

Us din bhi yahi ladki thi... Or yahi coffee thi ... Jiski wajah se mai late hua tha... Aaj phir se nahi...

Why this girl always come to irritate me...

"Aap kyun khadi hai yahaan... Coffee rakhe or jaen yahan se... "

I said pretending angry...

"Mujhe aapse baat karni hai..." she said smiling again ...

"Jo bhi hai,fast ... I don't have time..."

" wo mujhe apse kehna tha ki ...... Aap shadi ke liye haan kar dein na please" she said in one breathe ... And I was like what...

Oww toh ye us shadi wali baat ka mazak banane ayi hai

"Ho gaya? Now get lost.." I said in warning tone.

"Arey ...Aapko toh bas haan karna hai, jisse aunty khush and you don't worry ladki hi nahi raazi hogi koi apse Shadi ke liye, toh aap b khush ... Kyun? Sahi hai na?" She said with a laugh at the end.

"Dekhiye mai apse bohot hi tameez or izzat ke sath samjha raha hun , mujhse or mere maslo'n se dur rahiye...warna mai bhool jaunga ki aap mere dad ke dost ki beti hai" I said forcefully...

"Haan toh kya kar loge haan... " she said in her own style but stopped.... "Mera matlab hai ......Aap ek baar soch ke toh dekhein iss baare..." She said softly but I cutted her in middle ..

"I said do not interfere in my personal life....don't you get it ...." I said pointing my finger to her...

"Put this coffee on that table and just leave" I continued saying,pointing at the table in front of me...

She went near the table

"Idhar..." She said looking at me smiling...

"Yes... " I told glaring at her

"Oops .... " she intentionally left my coffee mug to break on the floor ...

"What the ...... " I immediately stood up... "Tum apne aap ko smjhti kya ho... Mehmaan ho ....mehmaan ban ke raho....hamari lives me interfere karne ka haq nahi diya tumhe kisi ne ... Mai phir keh raha hu... Dur raho mujhse or mujhse Judi har cheez se...." This time I grabbed her arm tightly to hurt her...

••••••

Arisha's POV

When arsam pushed me inside that Mr akhdu room... I was a bit nervous but I wanted to talk to him nicely... Otherwise he won't be listening a single word from me... I tried again and again to be nice with that jerk ... But he was continuously showing me attitude ...

Huh abhi batati hun... Samajhta kya h khud ko ...

I went near the table he was pointing....

"Idhar..." I said with smile ... And left his coffee on floor...

"Oops..."

"What the...... " he immediately stood up... "Tum apne aap ko smjhti kya ho... Mehmaan ho ....mehmaan ban ke raho....hamari lives me interfere karne ka haq nahi diya tumhe kisi ne ... Mai phir keh raha hu... Dur raho mujhse or mujhse Judi har cheez se...." He grabbed my arms forcefully and pinned me on the wall..

"Aap ek baat bohot kayde se samjh lein Mr Haadi Malik , mujhe aap me ya aapke kisi masle mein koi interest nahi hai ... " I said forcing on each and every word... "Or isse pehle ki mai aapko apne tareeke se jawab dun ...Chorho mujhe" and jerked his hands ....

And then arsam and shiza came in....

••••••

We were there outside the door listening everything .... And then the conversation was becoming worse so before they both kill each other ... We went in for the rescue...

"Arey aap dono bas bhi karein ... Kya ho gaya hai ...qatal hi karenge kya ek dusre ka... " I said while they both glared at each other ...

"Chalo aru hme college Jana hai ... " I said grabbing her hand and took her out... Without even looking at haadi bhai... I was so upset from his behavior..

••••••

(In college)

"Just don't talk to me arsam... " she yelled again...

"Aru I am sorry ... Baat toh suno yaar" she was walking through the corridor and I was just following her saying sorry...

"Maine kaha tha mujhe uss adhiyal or sanki insaan ke paas mat bhejo... But tumlog mere peeche hi lag gae...tumne suna kese baat kar raha tha... Baat nahi ... Cheekh raha tha literally..jaahil insaan... Mai bata rahi hun...Agar murder crime na hota toh ye insaan mere haatho hi zaaya hota.. " she said angrily and loudly stopping in the middle of the corridor while everyone passing was staring at us ...

"Thik h ...Smjh gaya... Meri galti thi ... Bola toh I am sorry ... Yaar khatam karo ab please... " I begged ..

" pehle tum promise Karo ki tum us pagal ki baat dobara mujhse nahi karoge... "

"Thik hai baba nhi karunga ... "

"Or mujhe abhi class ke baad pizza bhi khilaoge "

"Thik hai ..... Or kuch? " I said smiling..

"Nahi ... Abhi ke liye bs itna hi... "

"Chalo phir jaldi ... Class ka time ho gaya ... "

Arisha's POV

After that day ... I never spoke about haadi ...He just didn't existed for me..Sometimes its hard to believe that I met haadi after all these years and instead of being happy to see each other, he is just behaving like a jerk this whole time,I wonder do he even remember me, I guess no, otherwise he would never behaved like that ..

Its been two months now to that incident... I go malik's mansion every weekends,haadi and I exchange glances but neither he nor I ever tried to speak to each other.....Its now easy to live there over the weekend.. Last week, arsam told that haadi went to turkey for some business purpose and the weekend stay was very peaceful there, just because he was not there.

I was in my hostel room when my roommate Tanya called...

"Hey aru ...I need your help ... "

"Yeah... Tell me.."

"Ese nahi... Just get ready ... I am coming in 40 minutes after my class gets over... Then we have to go somewhere... " she was sounding excited.

"Okay.... But kahaan..? "

"Tu bas ready rahiyo ...mai aake batati hun "

"Chal thik h.. .. "

(After an hour)

I wore a regal green chicken embroidered kurta and black jeans with matching earrings. I tied my hair into a tight ponytail..I didn't like makeup so I kept it natural .... And then ....

"Sorry sorry I am late.... Chal tu ready hai na... " Tanya said coming into the room..

"Haan but kidhar jarhe h btao toh... "

"Bahar toh chal ... Batati hu ... "

( in the mall)

"Seriously ? Yaar tum mujhe pehle batati toh mai kabhi bhi na aati... " I pouted

"Tabhi toh nahi bataya madam.." She said covering her hand around my shoulder

"Ab mai kya help karu yaar tumhari ... Boyfriend tumhara hai..mujhe kya pata kya accha lagega use..."

"Please yaar aru...Ese toh na kaho ab...." She said and I gave her a look "Accha thik hai... Mai uske liye T-shirt wagera dekhti hu...Tum tab tak archies se jakr ek accha sa card le lo ...." She continued ...

"Card? Abey kon deta h card ajkal ... Bas t shirt thik h na....jaldi kar na wrna hostel ke gates band ho jaenge..."

"Tum na Dena apne boyfriend ko.......Mujhe toh Dena hai apne wale ko...tum jaldi jao... Zyaada time nahi hai.." She said looking at her watch.

"Ohfo ... Thik h.." I made a face..

"Or suno... Accha sa koi romantic type ka lena.,..." She screamed from back ..

"Okay" I sigh ...

She went in clothing brand showroom while I went to Archie's gallery ...

Ek se ek bewkoofo wali cheeze bhari padi hai... Ye saare ladke ladkiya sab pagal hai ... Huh, ye Tanya bhi na ...

I went near the cards section ... I took a card that was yellow and pink ... A big "I love you" written on the top and various love quotes printed in middle ...

I was reading the card...

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

What rubbish... Konse zamane me reh rahe hai ye log.. Mohabbat jaisi koi cheez nahi hoti...

I was mentally laughing as if these lines were joke...

Haadi's POV

"Haan rohaid.... I am here ...kidhar hai tu?" I said to rohaid over the phone..

"3rd floor... "He replied..

"Okay... Oh yeah ... I saw you... Coming wait..." I said looking up where he was waving... I went up and hugged him..

"Bhai mai na bulau toh tu mile bhi na... " he complained

"Yaar tu janta to h ... Jabse wo contract hame mila h... Work load kitna badh gaya hai... Time hi nahi milta" I explained

"Accha chal... Bohot kaam hai aaj... " he said pulling me into a showroom..

"Yahaan kya kaam hai ....."

"Yaar alizeh ki birthday thi kal..... " he said making a sad face...

"Toh itna sada muh q banaya hai?......... Ek second .... Kahi tu ... ? " I said surprised

"Haan..." He said biting his nails ...

"Bhai tu toh gaya..... Mujhe hairat hai ki usne abhi tak tujhe zinda kese chorh diya.... " I said laughing...

"Tu mera dost hai ki dushman...." He complained folding his hands in fake anger...

"Chal chal ... Drama na kar.. Ab bta Karna kya hai... ?"

"Uske liye poore 22 gifts kharedne hai .... " rohaid said looking around the gift shop ...

"22 zyada na ho Jaen... " I said

"Abey 22 saal ki hi hui hai ..... "

"Phir bhi kya Pata 22 dekh k ulta naraaz ho jae ki mai toh abhi 18 ki hi Hui hu....." I said teasingly and he laughed... And suddenly my eyes fell on a familiar face standing near the cards section.. Looking breathtakingly gorgeous as always, my eyes traveled from her face to her hands, I noticed her hands, my heart skipped a beat,

She was having a huge boyfriend greeting card in her hand??

Ye yahaan? Wo bhi boyfriend card ke sath? Boyfriend ke liye card lene aai hai....But iska koi boyfriend kaise ho sakta hai?......... Lekin q nahi ho sakta.... Bilkul ho sakta hai..She is pretty, No she is very beautiful.... But ye or boyfriend? ....but why do I care... No i dont care.....

"Tum gifts Dekho mai card dekhta hun" I said and went near her ... I stood next to her looking at the cards.. And when she turned she was stunned looking at me... May be because she wasn't expecting me there ... Or may be she was scared about that boyfriend thing...

"Oh hiee...." She said normally..while I was looking at her...I was surprised... We were not talking after that incident....

"Hi.....umm ap yahaan?.." I asked sarcastically looking at the card in her which she immediately hide at her back

"Haan woh... Woh mai ek friend ke liye card lene aai thi...." She said..

Friend ya boyfriend...?.

"Or aap?" She added

"Mai bhi bas ek friend ke sath..." I was saying when rohaid also came there..

"Hey rohaid .... Meet arisha, dad ke friend ki beti..... And he is rohaid, my friend..." I introduced them.. They said 'hi' to each other...

"Accha toh aap hai miss arisha.... Madam aapke baare me toh bohot suna hai maine" rohaid said

"I know aapne mere baare mein kya suna hoga... Qki jinke zariye suna hoga... Unse mere kuch khas acche ta'lukaat nahi rehte"

She said smiling at rohaid then glaring me...while rohaid looked at me as if he was really impressed with her reply....

"Anyways it was nice meeting you rohaid bhai.....now i should leave.. I am getting late..." She shaked hand with rohaid smiling..without even looking at me...

"Oh same here ... Actually I am glad we met, mai aapse kaafi time se milna chahta tha... But if u don't mind can I ask you for a favor? " he said smiling back still holding her hand and I was standing there like mai bhi hun yahan pe shayad..

"Yeah sure,Kahiye na .." She said .....

How she pretends to be so good with people...look ... Sabse sahi se baat kar sakti hai lekin mujhse nahi ...

"Dekhiye mohtarma.....Mai bohot badi musibat me hun... Meri fiance ki birthday thi kal or mai bhool gaya....Alizeh will kill me now... " rohaid said crying fake... While she smiled ...

"Oh ye toh bada masla ho gaya.... Tell me , how can I help you?..."

"Actually.... Mujhe alizeh ke liye 22 gifts lene hai or mujhe samjh nhi araha mai kya lun... Maine ise bhi bulaya help ke liye ....." He was saying indicating me...

"Aur ye kisi kaam ke nahi nikle ..." She said in flat tone and I looked at her .... " yeh mai nahi keh rahi.... Rohaid bhai yahi kehna chah rahe h na aap ?" She said chuckling to rohaid ...

And they laughed ...

"Yeah yeah .... Chalo... Jo lena hai jaldi lo ...Mujhe der ho rahi hai ab ... " I said annoyed.

" mujhe aap alizeh ke baare me kuch bataiye toh, tab toh mai kuch select karu " she was totally Ignoring me ...Actually they both were...

"Alizeh ... Meri fiancee hai... Ye toh tumhe Pata hi hai...baaki, she just turned 22 yesterday that's y I want to give her 22 presents ....or haan,,Total fashion queen hai ...Bollywood Diva types ......" Rohaid was boasting about her lady love proudly ....

"Awww that's so sweet" arisha said ..

"Kya? Fashionable hai isliye?" I asked with confused face ...

"Nahi na stupid... That 22 presents wala idea ... Thats superb and romantic too"

What? Not again... 😑 ... She called me stupid in front of my best friend also...is ladki se baat bhi q karta hu....

Rohaid eyes became big in surprise and he looked at me like 'isne haadi ko phir stupid bola' ... Then he started laughing ...

"Chal na tu jaldi kar ab... Warna mai jarha hu " I was annoyed...
