Arnav's pov
And after a long time I was spending some funny time with my fellow friends - Ved , Abeer , Rishi and Arjun . Rishi cracking his lame jokes and then he looked at Ved . I expected it as he never misses a chance to tease . But this time Ved is victim .
" what about you mr. Ved! Oh sorry.. I mean dr. Ved.. I think you need more food for your 6'8 feet height . So how are you attending patients ? " , said Rishi and Everyone laughed at him .
" I am not hungry and thats my patients and my problem "
" ohh.. but you will be happy to have something with dr. Seema right ? She is about 6'2 feet tall " , Ved glared at him and everyone chuckled and Rishi giggled except Abeer .
" so how do you know her height ? " , Ved asked irritated.
" just a small observation bro " , he smiled and winked at him.
" whatever " , Ved said
Abeer is looking tensed and worried.. why ? Should I ask him ?
" why are you being serious Abeer ? " , Arjun broke the silence in him
" what ? Am I looking serious ? No ! I am absolutely cool " , said abeer with fake smile
" yeah ! I can see that " , said Rishi
" oh God ! Stop this nonsense- hey... " , abeer looked something behind me and paused . Everyone looked there and froze .
So what was that ?
I was curious and turned to the direction . I saw a beautiful girl came running towards us . I stood up , she came near me and hugged me tightly .
" Arnav... " , my boys said and looked at me wierd
I was numb . She was hugging me so tightly as if she was scared . I saw a young man approaching us . He came near her and dragged her grabbing her hand . I got angry.
" ahh.. " , she winced and tried to release her hand from the man's hand
" why are you hugging him ? "
" what is your problem ? You wanted to meet him right ? Here he is " , she said to him
" he is the person I am going to marry . I am in love with him and he does . Dont interfere in my life and my love " , she said again
What ? What the hell is going on ?
" what if I do ? I am your maternel uncle's only son . I have the rights to get you " , he said loudly
" but I dont ! I dont want to be with you . I want to be with him . Not you ! I loved him . Not you ! You wanted to show him right ? I showed you and you Just stay away from me and get lost or otherwise I will create a scene that you will be behind the bars " , she shouted
" I am going but I will definitely have you " , he glared at her and then me
" not even in your dreams " , she smirked at him
Then he left . Me and my friends were just froze like statues . Just then I heard my friends were hooting and clapping . I came to my sense and looked at the girl who was closing her eyes and exhaling in relief .
" bro ! When did this too happened ? " , curious moron Rishi said
" what ? " , I asked him
" can you please come with me ? " , the girl asked me
I looked at her . Her eyes were moist . So I think she needs some help .
" hmm " , I said and that brat hooted again .
" go.. go.. she is waiting yaar " , arjun said smiling
" but you didnt even bothered to tell us right ? " , Ved asked
" arey.. "
" can you please come with me or not ? " , she asked again
" fine you go ! Lets talk later " , Arjun said , Rishi literally showed his 32 teeth , Ved and Abeer smiled and nodded
I went with her . She dragged me to a place where no one can see us from , by taking my hand in hers . I was following her like tamed puppy. Once we reached there , she left my hands and look at me seriously . I was a bit confused .
" so , who are you and what do you want ? " , I asked
" hmm.. that doesn't matter now.. by chance are you single ? " , she asked
" ofcourse yes ! But why were you telling the man that I am your boyfriend "
" did it sounded like that ? "
" no.. I mean that you said I am your love.. "
" yeah.. did my act looked believable ? "
" no.. I mean I can't believe that but that man and my friends looked convinced.. ofcourse they believed that its true.. "
" it is true ! " , she said
" what ? "
" I mean this is a mere truth for him and your friends. We only know its fake "
" oh no.. I cant understand.. just clear me something "
" ahh.. you are neither my love nor me to you.. we have to put up with this drama.. can you help me ? "
" what ? Why ? How ? "
She said me something serious . She told her problems everything . She was almost broke into tears . Oh God ! She is in a great trouble . I can help her but not this way . This is not right .
" can you help me ? "
" hey.. I can but not in this way ! I am a working as junior lawyer of the greatest lawyer in the city.. I can talk to him and I can definitely help you "
" you can't ! I tried that too.. are you mentioning mr. Balakrishnan ? "
" yeah.. how do you know him "
" I asked him to help me but he left unconvinced because my uncle has a financial contact with him.. so he was scared to oppose him.. " , she started crying
" hey.. stop crying ! I will definitely help you.. dont cry then my friends will kill me for making a beautiful girl cry " , I said and she laughed cutely
She wiped her tears and smiled . I smiled back . I gave her a friendly hug to relief her . She too hugged me back in a friendly manner . I broke the hug .
" hey.. can I know your name ? As I am faking to be your boyfriend.. I mean your lover.. if my friends ask me what is your name , how can I say I am not aware of it ? They will find it right ? " , I said . She smiled .
" you could have asked me my name and that's enough ! No need to explain . I am karthika Agarwal " , she said
" and I am- "
" Arnav " , she said
" how do you know ? "
" your friends mentioned it just before "
" oh yeah.. " , I grinned
" so.. lets go ! Your friends must be waiting " , she said
" hmm " , I said
We moved to the table where my friends were sitting . We were in an outdoor restaurant which was our favourite one . But not here to eat , just to spend hours after a longtime .
" hey guys.. they are coming " , said arjun smiling
All looked at us . I am embarrassed and so dod she. She was looking down . What an awkward situating ? Just because of this girl.. oh no.. I should not think like this she needs my help !
" so.. what were you both discussing ? " , asked Rishi . He was grinning like I can count his whole teeth . I want to break it mercilessly . Ahhh !!! They are teasing me like anything now .
All credits to her and that idiot Rishi . They were looking at the new girl . Oh sorry.. yeah ! Karthika Agarwal.. just sweet like her . Oops! What am I thinking about ?
We both sat with them . They were questioning her like arresting her with words . They literally attacked me with the questions . She smiled reluctantly.
" are you feeling uncomfortable with us ? " , Abeer asked and she was shocked and nodded lightly
" oh come on yaar.. you are in love with our friend and we are like a friend to you ! We Just be with that.. you just be comfortable around us too.. " , said arjun
" yeah ! You can take it cool.. we are decent guys from decent families.. are we looking like flirtious with you ? Just ignore this fellow Rishi and think " , said Ved with point
" hey.. I can be flirtious with everyone otherthan her . Now she is my best friend's lover.. how can I be ? Maybe I should've tried before him.. " , he said and winked at her
I just wanted to punch him but why ? He is my friend and she is no one to me . So why should I punch him for her . Whatever ! I am just here to help her .
" are you still uncomfortable with us around you ? "
" No ! I am more than comfortable now. I didn't had any boys in our friends gang . So this is new to me " , she said
" so you practice to it . Morever we will be getting to meet regularly " , Rishi said
" why ? " , I jumped up with the question which shocked all
" hey.. just chill ! We are not going to woo your love away from you ! possessive idiot " , said Rishi
" shut up " , I said but he ignored and lookedcay her
" so.. how did you fell for this moron ? " , he asked and others laughed .
Is it so ? Am I looking like a stupid to you ? Moreover you are ! I am leaving you because I dont want her to be scared . Or otherwise I will punch you that you will not open your mouth again . Idiot !
