The Same Day
Anuroop
I am driving home now after the meeting in my office. My phone rang and I received the call "Ha ma..a raha hu!" I said and hung up the call, my Mom called me to remind me about the visit with Manisha's family.
(Hey mom...I'm coming!)
My mind was going crazy.
"aye lo yeh pahen lo" My mom said as I entered the room. She handed the kurta that she brought for me yesterday.
(Hey, wear this)
"Ma..kaya jana zaruri hain..." I said in a low tone.
(Mother...is it necessary to be done.)
"Yeh kaya keh rahe ho beta...wo hamare intazar kar rahe honge" Mom said in an understanding toon
(What are you saying son...they must be waiting for us.)
"Parr ma-"
(But Mom)
"Par war kuch nahi jaldi jao or yeh kurta pehen lo" She cut me off, she said and pushed me toward my room.
(nothing, go quickly and wear this kurta)
🌸
I entered the room, without talking to anyone I went straight towards the car. Mom and Dad came after me. I hate the fact that I have to meet that fucking girl and her family.
I started the car and drove to their house, my Mom was helping me with the direction cause I never ever went to their house.
I stopped the car as we were finally here. I stared at the front door for a few minutes, then we went inside.
A lady was welcoming us...I guess it's her mother.
"Aao batho, main Manisha ko bulati hu" She said and we sat at our seats.
(Come sit, I will call Manisha)
"Manisha beta...niche a jaoo!" She shouted.
(Dear Manisha...come down)
I looked up as a figure was descending down the stairs.
My eyes freeze.
MY. WHOLE. BODY. FREEZE.
At the figure, the figure was none other than Manisha. The grey kurti suits her so well, it shows the perfect hourglass shape of her body. Her long black hair was blowing, Making her look like a greek goddess. Soon my eyes went to her hazel brown eyes and now,
EVERYTHING WENT FREEZE.
"Beta.." I came out of my thoughts as her mother spoke.
(Dear)
She came and took a seat opposite to me. Our families talked to each other for about an hour. I noticed one thing that she was staring at me from time to time. But I haven't looked at her not even more once, because I don't know what was so different about her that I lost control over myself, my mind. I have seen many girls but none of them were even near to compare to Manisha...she is just so-
"Yeh kay kar raha hai Anuroop, tuje yeh shaadi nahi karni ayad hain na!" My inner self reminds me as I was lost in my own world.
(What you are doing Anuroop, remember you are not willing to marry her)
Our family decided to have lunch together because Manisha's brother and Smriti are not here today.
We left after about an hour and headed to our house.
🌸
At Night
We all had our dinner and I went to study. I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in." I replied.
"Bhai are you busy" it was Smriti.
"No Why?" Even though I was busy, I always had time for my sister.
"Nahi..baas ayeshi apse baat karni thi" She said.
(Nothing, just wanted to talk)
"Ha..bol" I replied.
(Yes, say)
"Bhai..wo tujhe Manisha bhabi se milke kaisa laga?" She asked with amusement in her eyes.
(Brother..how is Manisha bhabi?)
"Thik hi hain.." I said in a bored tone.
(Okay..)
"Sach me tujhe ko wo bilkul bhi accha nahi lagi!?" She was not satisfied by my reply.
(Seriously, you didn't like her at all!?)
Should I tell her that I-Manisha..umm I mean-
"Bhaiiii!"
(Brother)
"Huh-"
"Uh acchi lagi..I mean hain thik hi hain baas sabse alag hain" Pretending to not care much about her question.
(Nice...I mean she is good but different from other girls)
"Hmm...sabse alag hain..." Smriti said in a teasing tone.
(Hmm... different from other girls)
"Leave now..I am busy and if I am not wrong then you have an interview tomorrow right?"
"HUh..dekh raha hain, or ha kal wo internship ka interview hain" She replied.
(Huh..I see, and yeah tomorrow I have an interview)
"Then..go and sleep" hearing this she stands up and walks out of the room, without stretching the conversation further.
Anuroop concentrate on your work, you have no time to think about girls. I remind myself as I was again thinking about Manisha. After we came back home, I just can't forget the heavenly figure that I saw today.
Sigh to myself, I went on my studies.
Next Morning
Smriti
Finally I woke up on time today, being a night owl, waking up early is a really tough task. Yawning and stretching my hands I went to the bathroom. I washed my face and took a shower.
I picked a white shirt and a black long pencil skirt as my interview outfit because I wanted to look classy today. Applying some perfume and setting my hair I went downstairs.
(Smriti's Outfit)
I went to the dinning room with Tani and other members, Zayn was not here because he went to meet his Mom and Dad as they just came back from a business trip. I am missing him but I also don't want to bother him because he hardly gets time to meet his family.
"Ye le beti..dahi chiwda" I Mom offered me a bowl as she believes that eating 'dahi-chiwda' is a sign of good luck.I took the bowl and started eating.
(Take this, yogurt and Flattened rice)
"Bhai ruk..hame bhi jana hain" I said as my brother finished his breakfast
(Brother wait for us)
After having our breakfast Tani and I went with bhai into his car. I noticed that bhai was quiet and acting weird since the visit with Manish bhabi. I guess something is wrong with him.
"Smriti" he said "all the best, ache se interview de, soch samaj ke jawab dena"
"Ha ha bhai...main abhi wo choti Smriti nahi hu..mujhe sab pata hain" I said in a boring tone.
(I know, I know..I have grown up..)
"Hain isliye apna bag bhul gaye thi" Tani said handing my bag.
(Yep.. that's why you forgot your bag)
"Areh wo to mujhe pata tha..main bag lane hi jarahi thi" I know there is no point to say this but I have a habit of trying to defend myself even when I know I was wrong.
(Ohh, I knew that...I was just going to take the bag)
They gave me criminal offensive side eyez.
🌸
"Thank you, it's my pleasure" I said as the interview came to an end. The manager under whom I am going to work is very kind. He said that his name is..uh-yeah..Arnav Singh.
He said that I should join the company from next week. That's next Monday and today is Friday. Okay!
As soon as I left the interview area I called Zayn as I hadn't talked to him since yesterday he congratulated me and promised to be there on my first day of work.
Then I called Tani, she received the call after 5 or 6 rings I guess, but her voice is low, very low. Did anything happened to her? What happened To Tani?
