Arsam's POV

I was in my room reading a book when someone knocked my door...

"Yeah ... Aa Jaen .." I said still looking at my book...

*mom entered*

"Arey mom aap... Aae na... Apko knock karne ki kya zarurat..." I said looking at mom... She came and sat on the bed ...She was looking tensed....

"Kya hua sab thik hai?....aap pareshan lag rahi hai " I asked taking her hands in mine...

"Arsam ... Wo beta... Bohot badi problem ho gai hai....." Mom said taking few breaks ...

"Kya baat hai mama... Aap mujhe dara rahi h.. "

"Wo beta ... Tumhari phupo aa rahi h agle hafte..." Mom said

"Toh... Accha hai na phupo aa rahi hai... Kitne saalo se aayi bhi nahi hai...... Aap bhi na mom ... Mai soche kya ho gaya..." I said laughing

"Arsam wo kisi wajah se aa rahi hai ... " mom said looking at floor ....

"Mom... Kya baat hai ... Aap saaf saaf bataen na" I became serious..

"Wo...jab mai or tumhare dad gae the unke ghar... Toh unhone taara or haadi ke rishtey ki baat chedhi thi.... "

"No no no ... Mom please nahi ... Taara toh bilkul bhi nahi ... Kitni self obsessed or chichchidi kism ki ladki hai wo...or aap janti hai woh kaise haadi Bhai ke peeche padi rehti h" I said in disgust

"Haan toh mai bhi toh nahi chahti ki aesa kuch ho..mujhe taara pasand hi nahi hai ..mai toh is khandaan ki kisi ladki ko apni bahu nahi banana chahti"

"Great... Aapne mana kar diya na... Thank God..."

"Haan Maine unse keh diya ki haadi ne pehle hi ladki pasand kar li hai "

"What? Mom.... Maana hmlog kabhi bhi Tara ko haadi Bhai ke liye nahi chahenge ... Lekin jhoot q bola aapne..."

"Accha or kya keh ke mana karti mai ... Ab wo sab chorho ... Wo aa rahi hai agle hafte ... Wo mujhse Meri bahu ka poochngi toh mai kya karungi .... " she was really scared..

"Aapne Bhai se baat ki is baare me? "

"Wo sunta kaha hai aesi koi baat... Isiliye mai pehle se iski shadi ke liye pareshan thi,isi musibat ki baat kar rahi thi mai... Us waqt koi ladki pasand kar leta toh aaj ye musibat na padti "

"Mom ye toh ek problem se bachne ke liye dusri problem invite kar li aapne... Khair aap pareshan na ho mai kuch sochta hu... Wese kitne din ke liye aa rahi hai?"

" Pata nahi ... Dekho.... Beta mai toh bohot tension me hu ... Kya hoga ab... "

••••••

Haadi was driving the car , rohaid bhai was on passenger seat while me and tanya were at the back...

"Wese arisha ... Thank you so much yaar... Aaj tumne bohot help kar Di...tum na milti toh pata nahi aaj hum ladke kya karte " rohaid bhai broke the ice ..

"Bas bhi karein bhai ab... Kitni baar thanks bolenge ... Maine itna bada bhi koi ehsaan nahi kia aap pe.... "

"Ehsaan toh kia hai tumne arisha, warna i dont know hum kese handle karte sab ..." Haadi said smiling looking at me in the mirror..

Why this idiot is behaving like this... Itna toh accha nahi hai ye jitna ban raha hai aaj... Dikhawa karwa lo public me Huh

"Bas bas yahi rok de... Hamara hostel aa gaya" Tanya said

And he stopped the car..we came out of the car and rohaid bhai being a gentlemen also came out to see us off. .. While haadi just sat inside ...

Huh jerk.

"Umm thank you so much rohaid bhai for dropping us ... " I said to him..

"Ahh mention not ... Ye toh ab mera farz tha ... Aap mujhe bhai Jo keh rahi hai " he said smiling ...

"Achha then .. Allah Hafiz .. See you ... " I said to him and then took a glance at haadi and he waved ...I rolled my eyes at him.

What the hell... Bahar bhi toh aa sakta tha ...manners toh seekhe hi nahi isne ...huh kya karu iske bye ka

Thank god we reached on time...After reaching to our room I gave Tanya the card which i got for her ...

"O my god ...This is beautiful aru" she said

"Yeah... " I said carelessly as I put by bag aside and laid on my bed..

Tanya also laid on her bed ...we both were looking at the fan..we were so tired..

"Aru ek baat poochu..."

"Hmm.." Again I replied carelessly.

"I think he likes you..." Tanya said still looking at the fan..

"What? Who?..." I literally jumped on her sentence..

"Arey The haadi malik .... "

"Oh please...haadi malik? No way.... He can't even stand me..." I cleared.

"No... Seriously .. The way he was looking at you every now and then...and also he is so rich and famous, and single also..."

"Accha ...Bas bas... Zyada dimag na lagao... Aesa kuch bhi nahi hai..." I cutted her in middle and went to change ...

Kaisi pagal ladki hai... Kuch bhi sochti hai ... Haadi or mujhe like karta hai .. Huh...Qatl hi na kar du mai usko...kaash haadi mujhe waisa hi milta jaise hum bachpan me the,I use to call her my superman, ek din bhi aesa nahi hota tha, jab mai usko apni saari baate na batau, either he comes to my house or I went to his..

Hey superman, I miss you.

•••••••• (after few days)

I was in my college canteen with some friends then I saw aru coming there with her friends... She waved at me when she saw me...

"Hey... Aru... Are you free ? ..actually we guys are going for coffee ... Why don't you join us..or mujhe tumse kuch baat bhi karni hai" I said going near her.

"Umm ...Actually...I need to finish this assignment...tum log jao... Aaj mai ghar aungi na shaam ko... Tab baat karte hai..." She said sat on the chair...

"Accha tum chalo toh... Udhar se hi ghar chlnge...or... Ye....assignment ghar pe krenge... Mujhe bhi Karna hai.. Chalo.." I grabbed her hand and pulled her with us...

Arisha's POV

We went to a cafe... The interior of the cafe was beautiful. We were like 5 people, Arsam, Maryam, anjila , saad and I ...

It was for the first time I was hanging out with my class fellows... We were actually friends..

"Chalo guys... Kya order karein? " Maryam asked..looking at the menu.

"I am very hungry... Burgers mangwao..extra cheese wale...subah se kuch nahi khaya maine." Anjila said

"Khuda ke waaste, jhoot toh na bolo anjila, abhi ek ghanta pehle hi toh tumne chicken roll khae h" rahil said rolling his eyes

"Ek chicken roll se kya hota hai" anjila said.

"Ye toh hamesha ki bhukkad hai...tum log batao kya loge" Maryam said in a way that made everyone laugh..while anjila pouted

"Mere liye bas ek frappe" arsam said..

"Mai bhi bs cold coffee.." I said ..

"Excuse me...." Saad called the waiter and ordered...

Suddenly I saw arsam excused from us and went to a girl sitting on the table in the corner... The girl was very beautiful.. She has long brown hairs.. Perfectly curved lips.. Big eyes... A perfect figure... She was wearing a black high waist jeans and mustard colour top... The girl was looking frank with arsam as if she knows him... I was lost in my thoughts and suddenly...

"Oh hie... Arisha ... " a familiar face came to me...

"Assalam walaikum... Kese hai rohaid bhai..." I got up to wish him

"Walaikum assalam... Mai bilkul thik...tum btao... Yahaan?"

"Jee ... Wo bas aj class fellows ke sath...aap batae aapki madam ko sab pasand aya tha.."

"Haan yaar allah ka shukr hai... Aao mai milwata hu tumko alizeh se.."

"Oh alizeh yaha hai?...chaliye phir,neki or pooch pooch ....excuse me ,I will just be back haan..." I excused from my friends and went with him...I saw we were going closer and closer to the table where arsam was sitting..

"Arey wah... Tum bhi yahaan ho.." Rohaid bhai said to arsam...

"Or rohaid bhai ... Kya haal?" He hugged him...

"Sab badiya... " he replied smiling...

"Alizeh .. Inse Milo .. Ye hai arisha... Maine tumko bataya tha us din... " rohaid bhai said to her ...

"O yeah... Arisha.." She hugged me ..."thank you for helping my idiot fiancee... U know pehli baar dhang ke gifts mile hai mujhe inki taraf se" she said teasing rohaid bhai...while I smiled.. I found that she was not just the physical beauty but also has the purest heart...

"Ab aap underestimate kar rahi hai mohtarma.." Rohaid bhai could say...

"Ek second... Rohaid bhai aap aru ko kese jaante hai? I mean aap kab mile isse?"

Arsam looked confused

"Long story bro.. Fursat se bataunga... "

"Aru tum hi bta do... U know suspense nahi jhela jaata mujhse.." Arsam is really a drama

"Wo mai ..." I was saying..

"Darasal...mai or haadi ... Alizeh ke liye gift lene gae the... Wahi hame arisha mil gai..or isne hamari bohot help ki gift select karne me or phir hamne inko drop kia inke hostel..or bas...Story finish" rohaid bhai said in single breathe.

"Accha haadi bhai bhi the?" He said looking at me smiling..

"Jo ki kisi kaam ke nahi the.... Chair pe baithe phone nacha rahe the bas....." I said making a face.. And they laughed

"Haadi bhai se yaad aya...bohot zaruri baat karni thi mujhe...." Arsam said..

"Haan bolo.." Rohaid bhai said.

"Hey arsam...arisha...come.. Food is here.." We heard Maryam screaming..

"Yahaan nahi....Rohaid bhai...aap aaj sham ko ghar aa sakte ho? Arisha aj mere sath ghar jarhi h... We can take alizeh bhabhi on face time... Then we can discuss"

"Yeah sure man... " rohaid bhai said..

"Okay bye" we said and went to our table.

•••••••

We were at terrace ...and rohaid bhai came... Shiza was also there... I made sure that haadi bhai was not at home...so that we can discuss about him.

"Rohaid bhai , bhabhi ko call lagaiye.." I said...

Within few seconds bhabhi was also virtually present there.

"Ab btao bhi arsam... Baat kya hai.." Aru said out of curiosity

"Actually choti phupo chahti hai ki haadi bhai ki shadi , unki beti taara se ho jae" I started telling..

"Wait... Mujhe nahi padhna us pagal sanki insaan ki shadi ke matter me... Mai jarhi hu.." Aru got up and was about to go... May be because of that last experience..but rohaid bhai stopped her..

"Tumko us sanki ke pass nahi bhej rahe.. Don't worry..just Sit down" rohaid bhai said and she followed.

"Ye wahi taara hai jo... Haadi ko bachpan se like karti hai... Hai na?" Rohaid bhai said turning to me...

"Jee.. But that's not the case..." I said

"Then what? " alizeh bhabhi asked..

"Actually haadi bhai don't like her and..." I was explaining

"Tumhare haadi bhai toh kisiko pasand nahi karte...Jungle q na bhej do unhe..." Aru commented.

"Aru yaar... Listen to me na....let me finish...." This time I got irritated..." Actually Taara ek bohot hi bigdi Hui or self obsessed ladki h.. Haadi bhai toh kya... Hum me se kisiko bhi nahi pasand....mom ko b nahi.." I continued.

"Toh aunty ko bolo inkaar kar dein" alizeh bhabhi said ..

"Wo inkaar kar chuki hai" I told

"Arsam bhai sAAF saaf bataen na please..." Shiza said

"Haan arsam ..masla hi kya bacha phir..." Rohaid bhai said

"Actually mom ne unse bol diya ki bhai ne khud hi ladki pasand kar li hai ..." I told.

"Haan toh ye toh accha kiya na..ab wo nahi kahengi..." Alizeh bhabhi said...

"Lekin wo next week arahi hai hamare ghar...or wo zarur zidd karengi us ladki se Milne ki..." I finally dropped the last line..

"Oh shit..." They said..

"Toh milwa Dena unki girlfriend se apni phupo ko.." Aru said

"Girlfriend?? Kiski???" We all asked

"Haadi ki or kiski... Unki English girlfriend bhool gae..."

"Allah... Aru...bas Karo...esa kuch nahi hai.....or please is situation se nikalne ka koi plan socho.." I said

"Haadi ko bata ke dekho..... Shayad sach me use koi ladki pasand ho.." Bhabhi said

"Nahi alizeh.... Aesa kuch hota toh mujhe Pata hota..." Rohaid bhai replied

"Wait let me call my mastermind....May be uske pass koi solution ho" shiza said and dialed a number.

"Mastermind?...." I asked

"Oh hie Hania... Are you free... Video call kar Sakti ho?... Okay great..." Shiza talked over the phone

"Ye Hania ke itna dimag hoga?' " I wondered while aru eyed listening about her sister

Matlab mere bhai ko jo marzi keh lein yeh... Apni Behan ke liye fauran ghoorne lagti h..

Shiza told everything to hania. .. She got confused too..

"Yaar do cheeze hai... Ya toh haadi bhai ko bata do.wo khud handle karein... Ya phir....

."Hania stopped

"Ya phir????..." I asked

"Ya toh , kisi ko utne din ke liye haadi bhai ki girlfriend ya fiancee bana do.." Hania completed..

"Yeah that's a great idea..." Alizeh bhabhi said..

"Dekha I told you ... Iske paas zarur koi solution hoga..." Shiza said proudly looking at me..

"Haan But banaenge kisko ... " rohaid bhai said thinking...

"Ye bhi Aap batae...." I said looking at Hani...

"Ab mujhe kya Pata... Sab mai hi bata dun... Tum Jo itna bada sar liye ghoom rahe ho... Iska bhi use karo kuch" she replied.

"Alizeh or shiza toh nahi ban Sakti...." Rohaid bhai said and we all looked at aru smiling...

"Don't even think about it ...I am telling you... Wo aadmi bilkul pagal hai ...." She said in defense

"Please..... Pleasseeeeeeee" we all said....

"No ....Koi or hota toh I could... But not for that idiot...Never..."

"Its for us... Its for mom.. Not for haadi bhai.." I tried convince

"Aru yaar.... Mai waha hoti toh fauran ban jaati.... Haadi bhai kitne handsome hai... Unki girlfriend banne me kya problem hai tumhe...." Hania also convinced her sister..

"Handsome ? Ek number ka gadha hai.. Baat karne ki toh tameez hi nahi hai....or phir mai maan bhi jau... Toh wo khud nahi manega...." Aru said

"Wo hamari problem hai... Tum bas apna batao." Rohaid bhai said...

"Yaar aap log mujhe q fasa rahe ho.....kisi or ko bana do,mai koi help nahi kar rahi is mamle me yaad rakhna..mai us aadmi ki shakal na dekhu... Girlfriend zarur banungi... Huh" She said and went downstairs stomping her feet in ground...

"Ye toh maan jaegi... Tum log haadi bhai ka socho..." Hania said casually

"Tumko kis angle se lag raha hai ye zara bhi manegi ... I know her. Aru nahi manegi " I said..

"Haadi ko samjhao pehle... Use Pata hona chaiye.... Uske baad hi hum aage soch sakte hai" rohaid bhai said.

"Mai nahi karunga baat unse.... Aap hi karein...haadi bhai or arisha .... Kabhi b nahi... Its a bad idea.. I am telling you" I said

"Toh tumhare pass koi better idea ho toh bata do" Hania said ...

"Arey yaar shiza ... Isko masla kya hai mujhse ... I am just telling my point of view.. Itna bhadak q jati hai ye" I said looking at shiza .. While shiza laughed and Hania rolled her eyes.

"Don't forget they were once best buddies, aru, haadi Bhai ke liye or haadi Bhai aru ke liye kuch bhi kar sakte hai, they just need to remember their childhood friendship...

Mujhe mama bula rahi hai... Baad me baat karte hai, bye" Hania said

"Yeah, she is right, I think haadi has a soft corner for arisha, may be in all this drama, mere dost ko sach me mohabbat ho jae" rohaid Bhai said..

"Ow that will be great, arisha aapi, I mean arisha bhabhi, that sounds amazing" shiza said all excited.

"Ab ye batao ... Kon baandhega Billi ke gale me ghanti" rohaid bhai said

"Aap hi kar sakte hai... Humme se or kisi ki nahi sunte wo..." I told..

"Oye.. Mai kya dikhai nahi deti... Mai baat karungi haadi se.." Alizeh bhabhi said ..

"Oh yeah... Great ... Ye baat karegi toh isko kuch nahi kahega... " rohaid bhai said.

"Okay then.. Aap dono baat kar lo... Mom bhi bohot pareshan h aajkal .." I told

"thik h phir ... Mai rukta hu abhi ... Haadi aa jae.. Aaj hi baat karunga" rohaid bhai said smiling and we all hoped for best

••••••••

When I came back home.... I saw arisha in the lawn...she looked pissed off.. I don't know why but I went to her... She was sitting on the bench alone ...

"Aap yahaan akele kyun baithi hai... ?" I asked very politely ...

"Kyun ? Iske liye bhi aapse ijazat leni padegi ..." She replied irritated..

What the hell... Tameez se baat nahi kar sakti yeh kabhi ...urgh

"Nahi... I was just asking ... Aap or yun khamosh ek jagah baithi hai.... Its quite weird u know..." I said sarcastically..

"Ho gaya aapka??....Jaiye bas... Mera mood thik nahi hai...abhi mai kuch keh dungi toh aap jhel nahi paenge... " she said seriously looking at me...

Ab kisse ladh ke baithi hai yahaan...mere alawa bhi ladhti hai ye kisise?

"Nahi aap keh le ... Itni izzat bhi q de rahi hai..." I said and she again looked at me at stood up...

"Dekho... Sharafat se yahaan se chale jao...mera dimag kharab hai is waqt" she again said annoyed and sat on the bench looking away....

Wow even I can irritate her...the way she always does to me... Ye mauka toh nahi jaane de sakta yaar..
