Part - 1

Next evening.

Anantha Pov

I was in the car . Both uncles had invited me to his house to meet up. 

I'm still thinking about how to confront him about the news last night. I didn't talk to him much. I ignored his calls after the Good Morning call. I didn't go to university today. Cause I knew he would come to pick me up.

I still don't know what I should say to him. How should I put these things in words? 

As we reached there I entered in uncle's large villa. Uncle was leading me to the hall. While I was walking.

I felt eyes. ON ME. Goosebumps rise in my body. Heartbeat fastens. Shivers run down my body. 

He is here.

I looked in the direction where the stares were coming. My eyes widened. My mouth opened. And said the name.

Akaay

I stopped in mid. Paused there. His face looked handsomely shocking. I heard Dev uncle's voice.

“Come in beta” Dev uncle said. And back to the earth.

I smiled a little and nodded my head. Akaay narrowed his eyes on me. Beside Akaay, Aditya was sitting in a suit that looked like it was coming from a meeting. His hazel eyes were telling me. He was curious about me.

As I reached near the sofa Rishi uncle came down from the stairs. He greets me. And all eyes were on me. Aditya Akaay Dev uncle all were watching me as I took a seat.

“She is the daughter of our precious friend.” Rishi uncle said while sitting opposite me. Dev uncle besides him. 

“Nini this my son Aditya.” Dev uncle said while pointing towards Aditya. He nodded his head and said “hi”

I replied “hi” 

“Hellooowwww Nini” Akaay said in a teasing tone. I looked in his direction and he wiggled his eyebrows. He is doing this in front of everyone. My eyes widened in shock. I didn't say anything, I was just looking at him. And he was smiling shamelessly.

“This is my bailbuddhi son Akaay.” Rishi uncle says. Akaay’s smile dropped. Our heads turned towards Rishi's uncle.

“Daaaadddd” Akaay says. While pouting.

“Kam se kam nini ke samne toh aise mat bol” Dev uncle says. Looking at Rish uncle. And Rishi uncle huffed and turned his face. Dev uncle rolled his eyes.

“Mujhe pehle se lagta tha me hospital me badal gaya tha…uncle ap hi mere papa ho” Akaay said while running towards dev uncle.

“Mujhe bhi yahi lagta sayad tum Aditya ke sath exchange ho gaye hoge..” Dev uncle standing up from his seat.

“Papaaaa” Akaay came and hugged dev uncle. Dev uncle hugged him back and wiped his fake tears.

My jaw dropped to the floor. What the hell is happening? I turned my head and saw Aditya was shaking his head in disbelief. 

Then I took a look at Rishi uncle who was sitting while holding his forehead. like this happens every other time. But I saw he was smiling too. He was covering his face.

“Ho gaya tum dono ab kuch khaye” Rishi uncle said while standing up.

“Chalo Aditya nini Inka toh roz ka he” rishi uncle said while looking at us.

“Hmm” Aditya and I said in unison. We turned to each other. Almost gave half smiles to each other.

I was walking to the dining area with uncles. Aditya was walking beside me. Akaay pushed him a little and took his place. And gave me the look. Like I won't let anyone walk with you except me. I smiled.

Aditya being nonchalant Walk away without a word. He seems distant from everyone except Akaay or Akaay is just clingy to him. God knows.

“Buy the way dad. You won. Ap shart jeet gaye.” Akaay said.

Wait? What shart.

Few hours earlier 

Akaay Pov

Im causally laying on my bed. Its my 102nd call to her and she didn't picked up. She answered my call in morning why she isn't picking up now. I'm missing her. 

She said she isn't going university today so I can't go to pick her up. I can't see her today. Uff.

“Brownie yaar phone uthalo please” I said. And put my face in pillow.

Whacckk.

I heard a sound. I sit up on bed. I felt something on my back.

“Owwww” my back hurts. Someone hit me on back. And that someone was standing near my bed. Smirking.

Aditya Bakshi you're dead now.

“Saale meko mara ruk Teri toh” I stomp towards him. He didn't even run. He just stood there. Waiting for me. With look of ‘i dare you to do something’

I went to him. And throw a punch he dodged. Oooo. He smiled. Asshole. I looked towards door. And idiot fall for that. He looked towards door too.

I took the chance and and throw another punch. This time he caught my hand. Huh. Why? He smiled again raised his one eyebrow.

I pulled my hand hard enough he almost bump in me. I pushed him. And before he can think I kicked him in chest. He fall back. On the fucking ground.

“Saale baap se panga” I said. He shake his head. Or kar bhi kya sakta he. He lost. 

He extend his hand I gave mine. I pulled him up.

“you had fight with you girl. I guess” Aditya said while standing up.

“She is not answering my calls” I replied. I'm worried too. I hope she is fine.

“You got dump by teenager.” He laugh little.

“Aisa kuch nai he busy hogi.” I tried to argue but didn't worked. He laughed louder this time. I was about to say something but then hamare pujya pitashree padhare….

“Aaj raat koi bahar nai jayega. Dinner pe koi aa rha he” my dad said. 

“Who?” Aditya asked while sitting on my bed. I walked towards him and set next to him.

Meanwhile our father took seat in sofa in my room. And I didn't like that. Whole room is looking like a zoo. Lots of animals except me.

“She is a daughter of our old friend” Dev uncle says.

“She. You mean a girl.” I asked in curious. Our won't ever invite any females in this house. And now they are doing this. Why?

“Yes. Or tum dono me se koi uss se shaadi krlo.” Dad said.

“I'm not doing that. I have someone.” I said ready to argue. Every eyes turned to me.

“Is se or umeed bhi kya kr sakte he. Nalayak Hi rhega.” Dad says. Why I always got caught in fire? 

“Acha he ab nini mere ghar ki bahu banegi” Dev uncle said while smiling.

“I'm not interested in type of relationship” Aditya said without a breath in deep voice. Now situation turned. Every heads turned towards him. Including me.

He didn't utter a word. His face was enough to tell that no one can force him to do anything without his own will.

“Dono ke dono nalayak he. Hamari kismat hi futi he. Jo yeh dono mile Hume.” Dad says while shaking his head.

“Sahi bola. Ab hamari shart ka kya hoga” dev uncle.

“Hein? Shart.” I said. Aditya and I was looking at eachother.

“Arey humne shart rakhi thi nini jiske bhi ghar ki bahu banegi vo jeet jayega” dev uncle said.

“And what was the price” Aditya asked.

“2 coror” my dad says proud smirk on his face.

Aditya and me looked at eachother again. And burst into laugh. Aditya never laugh loud he was trying control. But lost it. 

“2 coror. Ki bahu” I rolled on bed while holding my stomach. Aditya was trying so hard to control.

“Yeh dono kabhi nahi sudhrenge ge.” Dad says.

“Hmm. Nalayak kahi ke.” Dev uncle says. They both stood up and started to walk but my words Stopped them.

“Did you asked her for marriage too? I asked. And they turned to me.

“I mean it's her choice. Am I right? Or you both just decide by yourself” I asked. Dad was about to say something. But Aditya cut him off.

“The world isn't your command. You can't force every person as you please.” Aditya says.

They didn't said anything further they left in silent. After few seconds.

“2 coror like really” Aditya says.

“Aisa shart rakhne wale hamre baap he. That's embarrassing” I said.

“Buy the way tu kyu mana kr rha tha” I asked him. He started to talk.
