MEGHA'S POV

AGE - 25 YEARS

I got down from the car after reaching the cupcake place. It's sold by an old couple and they make really tasty cupcakes and they are very limited. As I was approaching them I saw Yuvraj walking from the other side.

I started walking fast and even he increased his pace.

"Ek red velvet cupcake box." Both of us said at the same time looking at the only one box of red velvet cupcakes.

("one Red velvet cupcake box.")

"I asked first." I said looking at him.

"Maine toh suna nahi." He said raising his eyebrows.

("I didn't hear.")

"Dadi ji aapne toh suna na?" I asked and she looked at us giving an adoring smile.

("Grandma you heard, right?")

"Aap dono jab be aate hai, tab aise he jagadte hai. Kitne pyaare lagte hai aap dono saath main." She said admiring the both of us.

("Whenever you both come get you always fight like this. You both look lovely together.")

"You both remind us of our younger selves." Dada ji said and I rolled my eyes.

This couple look very cute and sweet but I don't know why they always say things like this.

"And because we both know that you always have an argument for the cupcake, we kept two boxes aside already." She said as she took the box from her bag and gave it to us.

"Thank you so much dadi." Yuvraj said touching her feet and then giving a warm smile.

I just smiled at her and left after paying.

"Couldn't you atleast thank her? She got a separate box for you." Yuvraj said as he was walking behind me.

"She didn't do it for free. I paid for it." I said and walked away.

"Kab seekhoge?" He yelled standing from his place.

("When will you learn?")

"Jab tum aapne kaam se kaam rakoge tab." I said looking at him and then walked away without waiting for his reply.

("When you start minding your own business.")

As I entered the house Chirag came running towards me.

"Buaaaaaa........ Did you get it?" He asked panting.

"When have I not got what you have asked for." I said giving him the box of red velvet cupcakes.

"I love you buaaaa." He hugged me and I kissed his forehead and moved towards my room.

I changed my clothes and left my room.

"Meghu where are you going?" Mom asked as she came out of the kitchen.

"Maa I am going to meet Veena and Nithya. Dinner bahar hi karungi." I said and left the house.

(I'll be eating dinner outside.")

VEENA'S POV

"Bhaiya sambhal ke, Varna toot jayega." I said holding the base in my hand.

("Be careful, or it will break.")

"Maaf kar de jiye." He said taking the vase from my hand.

("I am sorry.")

"Ise vahaan rak dejeye." I said as I moved towards the mandap.

("Keep it there.")

I looked at the couple who were now taking rounds around the holy fire.

A smile came on my face looking at them.

After all the ceremony, it was the time for bidaee and everyone became emotional.

The couple came towards me and the bride hugged me.

"Thank you so much for ensuring everything was perfect." She said.

"Thank you for making it such a memorable event." The groom said.

"The pleasure is all mine. Thank you for giving me an opportunity and congratulations and have a beautiful life together." I said as I looked at the couple who were madly in love with each other.

I left the venue after instructing everything.

I started driving my car and headed towards the guest house.

How I wish I meet the love of my life? God knows when I'll get to meet my soulmate.

My thoughts came to a sudden hault when a car came at full speed in my direction and we both pulled the brakes with an inch gap between our cars.

I took a deep breath in relief and opened my car door and walked out.

"Are you out of your god damn mind." I yelled at the driver only to get shocked after seeing who the person is.

**************

DHRUV'S POV

"Are you out of your god damn mind." I heard a feminine voice and when I looked out I saw Veena standing near the window.

"You?" She said in an annoying tone.

"Yes sweetheart it's me." I said looking at her.

Her calm face was now frowned with anger.

"How many times have I said you not to call me that?" She said getting irritated.

"Who's that babe?" The girl sitting beside me asked whose name I didn't even know.

"Are you serious? You'll never change." She shaked her head negatively and walked away.

"Is she your ex girlfriend?" The girl whose name I don't know asked me again making me angry.

"No she's not. She is not even my type." I said as I started driving my car.

"Then why did you call her sweetheart?"

Ohh god, how many questions does this woman even ask?

"She gets irritated when I call her that and it's fun to see her get irritated." I said thinking about her expression.

"That means you like her." She said and now I was done with her.

She spoiled my whole fucking mood. I stopped the car and turned to look at her.

"Get out."

"Are you serious?" She asked with a surprise expression.

"Yes I am. Now get out." I said and she got out immediately.

I was so frustrated right now and I didn't want to spoil my mood more. With one hand on the steering and the other hand moving through my hair, I drove towards the guest house.

NITHYA'S POV

We were sitting in the living room of the guest house waiting for Dhruv and Veena to come.

"Baby, you were asking for an assistant right, I have set up an interview for you tomorrow with the candidates." Vineet said as he came and sat beside me.

"Thank you so much. You are the best." I said as I kissed his cheek.

I turned to look at Megha and Yuvraj. Megha who was completely lost in her phone and Yuvraj who was admiring me and Vineet.

"Yuvraj why don't you marry?" I asked.

I know Yuvraj is well settled in his life and now the only thing he lacks is a life partner and he also wants one badly.

"It's not as easy as you say, Nithi." He said with a chuckle.

"What makes you say that?" Vineet asked.

"Not everyone is as lucky as you to marry the love of their life." He said and deep down I knew why he said that.

"Megha why don't you marry?" I asked as she looked at me from her phone.

"What stupid question is that Nithi?" She said getting irritated.

"It's not a stupid question. I am asking you a valid one. Your turning 26 and your not married. Your parents will definitely ask you to marry this year. What will you do?" I said.

"Well....I have absolutely no interest in marriage and I don't believe in things like marriage atleast not in my case. Even if I marry someone it will be only because of my family and I know that there will be no such thing as love between us." She said looking at me.

I knew it's not better to argue with her because she always has a way of winning.

Vineet was about to tell something but was interrupted by a very angry Veena.

"I am telling you guys this Dhruv is never going to learn. I saw him with another girl tonight. So he's not coming today. It's only us." She said as she sat down.

"Ohh sweetheart your mistaken. How can I miss the opportunity to meet my loved ones?" Dhruv's voice came and all of us turned to look at Dhruv.

"What happened to your date?" Veena asked raising her eyebrow.

"You spoiled the mood." He said as he sat down beside megha.

Veena rolled her eyes to his comment and ignored him.

"Veena why don't you marry?" I asked her all of a sudden and she her face falls.

"I...i.." she was stammering when Dhruv interrupted her

"She has too much expectations and her expectations can never be true in real world." Dhruv said and Veena glared at her.

"Don't worry sissy, I ll try my best to get you a guy like that." Vineet said with a sweet smile and she smiled at him.

"What about you Dhruv?" Megha asked.

"Come on Megha whom are you even asking? Do you think a guy who goes on a date with atleast 3 girls in a week will stay committed to one girl?" Veena said.

"You know me too well." Dhruv said with a smirk and Veena moved her head in a disapproving way.

"But I agree with Veena." Yuvraj said.

"You are the right one to comment on others." Megha commented.

"Atleast I know how to respect people unlike someone who was pampered from birth and is spoilt like fuck." He responded.

"Just say that you are jealous of me." Megha argued back.

"Ohhh please."

"Oh please guys just stop it. Don't start with your arguments again." I said standing from my place.

"Tell her that. She always has a way to start a fight." He said.

"Yuvi....." I said glaring at him and he kept quiet.

"God knows which unlucky girl will marry you?" Megha said as usual not giving a fuck about my words.

"Ohhh don't worry any girl who enters my life will not be as unlucky as the guy who enters your life. I pity that guy who has to survive a life with a pathetic person like you." He said.

"Then you should be happy because you'll not be that person who will be spending his life with a pathetic person like me." Megha said and walked away.

The whole room became quiet and now our mood for spending time was also spoilt.
