"Dad, I m not going to do this..." She shouted in anger.

"You have to beta...you have to...because you don't have any other option and for your kind information, I’m not asking you… I’m telling you to do this." Her dad said in no-nonsense tone.

"Dad... Why don't you understand, that I’m not ready for this now?" she asked annoyed.

"Because this is the right time and He is a right person for you." Her dad said while folding his arms across his chest.

"And how do you be so sure, that HE IS A RIGHT PERSON FOR ME." She asked sarcastically while folding her arms across her chest, just mimicking her dad.

"Because I know him personally and more over that I’M YOUR DAD... And I very well know what is right for you."  He retorted back in anger, ending their conversation... ooppss argument session.

"But dad..."

"No more arguments Sharon." He said in stern tone.

"Urghh..." she groaned in frustration and then took deep breath in to calm herself because she knows her father is not going to back out if he decides something.

"Ok fine... I’m ready..." she said after thinking for some time making her dad little relieved, but before that he could become happy on his victory, she continued,

"...But..."

"But...?" he asked confused furrowing his eyebrows.

"I have a condition." She said with slight smirk.

"And...what is that?" he asked with doubtful tone, because he very well knows his daughter. Something is really cooking in her mind.

"Well... Before taking any decision regarding this, I wanted to meet him… Alone." She said while emphasizing word ‘alone’ with seriousness in her tone.

He got shocked hearing her condition. He was sure by now that something is seriously in his daughter's little brain. She is up to something and he can't let that happen.

"No... you are not going to meet him alone." Her dad denied.

"But dad... How could you do this to me... I mean, this is about my whole life and I have every right to take decisions of my life." she argued back seeing her plan going to be flop.

"Dad, agar aap chahte hai ki main aapke iss decision se agree karun... Toh aapko meri condition manani padegi... aur iske alava aapke paas aur koi choice nahi hai..." she said after sometime composing herself deciding that she can't let him win. After all she is Sharon Kapoor... she is not the one who going to lose.

"Ok...but Taani tumhare saath jayegi," He said after thinking for some time making Sharon and Taani both shocked.

"Main.." Taani asked with wide eyes, after coming out from this shock, who was till now standing there as a silent listener of this whole ‘conversation cum argument' between her dad and elder sister.

She was looking at both with horrifying expression. Although, she is the younger one in this house but still they always behaves like ones. She knew both of them very well. No one is going to take a back. Both are too much stubborn. And she knew that their stubbornness always put her in a trouble. And she could feel that, this time also going to happen the same. She gulped nervously.

"Haan Taani...tum Sharon ke saath jaogi." Her dad replied.

"But dad... I’m not a kid and I think you didn't hear me... I said I wanted to meet him Alone..." before Taani could say anything Sharon retorted back while stretching word alone again.

"Sharon, I said Taani is coming with you and that is final... no more arguments on that." He said with commanding tone.

"Is that clear with you two..?" he asked while looking his daughters for answer.

Taani just slightly nodded in answer but Sharon, stormed out from there but not before glaring at her father in displeasure. Getting inside her room, she shut the door with loud thud.

Sharon was pacing in her room from here to there all frustrated. She was so much annoyed with the fact that her dad wants her to meet a guy, whom he had chosen for her. Can you believe it?... Means we lived in 21st century, where everyone has a right to choose her/his life partner by themselves.

She is not saying that her dad had chosen a bad guy for her...but the fact is, she is not ready for the marriage... at least not for now. She is just 23 and she wanted to set her career first and wanted to become a successful designer.

And more over that she is not ready for arrange marriage. According to her this whole concept of ARRANGE MARRIAGE is bullshit. She always wonders that, how come two total stranger persons will live together for their whole life?

She always dreamt for a love marriage. She wanted to choose a perfect guy as her partner. But now her dad wanted her to meet a guy for a marriage, about whom she didn't know anything...but his name.

"Ummm...What was his name...?" she asked herself aloud in frustration, while remembering what was the guy's name, with whom she supposed to meet for this so called Marriage.

"Swayam Shekhawat."

A voice came from her room's door and she turned her head towards it. There was standing her younger sis... Taani.

Although both are real sisters but still they are total opposites. Sharon is a diva, has so much attitude, hyper, short tempered... whereas Taani is simple, quiet, humble and innocent girl. She is 2 years younger than Sharon but too mature girl than her. She is the one who know how to handle her dad and sister. The only things are common in both of them... they both love each other and their dad so much and believe in love. She also has believed in love...either it happens before marriage or after marriage... but still she is waiting for her Prince Charming.

Hearing his name and looking her sis smiling, she got more irritated.

"Yeah...Whatever..." sharon said annoyed, rolling her eyes.

"Di..?" Taani shook her head and came in the room and sat on the bed.

Sharon was pacing from left to right in her room and Taani was just looking at her di, smiling seeing her all frustrated.

"Can you believe it Taanu...Dad chahte hai ki main uss... Usss..." she again forgot his name.

"Swayam Shekhawat" Taani again reminded his name.

"Taanu... tu chup rahegi aur uska naam japna band kar.." Sharon said sternly while glaring towards Taani, making her quiet.

"Haan... toh kahan thi main.." Sharon again starts her work.

"Haan.. toh dad chahte hai ki main uss Shekhawat se milne jaun... aur wo bhi shaadi ke liye...dad ko ho kya gaya hai..." she said in anger while still pacing from hereto there.

"I mean aise hi kisi bhi aire gaire ko mere liye choose kar liya..." she said in disbelieve.  "Mere liye" she again said emphasizing and pointing her finger towards herself... "Sharon Kapoor ke liye..." she said with attitude.

"Par di.." Taani again tried to speak but Sharon was in her siren mode. She again glared to Taani and she stopped, kept her index finger on her lips just like a kid.

"Unhe kya lagta hai...ki wo mujhe force kar sakte hai... No Ways... aisa kabhi nahi hoga...agar wo ziddi hai toh main bhi unki beti hu... itni aasani se haar nahi manane wali..." Sharon said determined.

Taani hadn't has any other option than just sitting there and hearing all this silently.

After her non-stop blabbering Sharon looked at Taani, who was silent, saying nothing. She kept her hands on her hips and said, "Ab tu kuch bolegi bhi... yaa aise hi muh band karke baithi rahegi.."

"Di, aapne hi toh kaha chup rahne ko..." Taani said in low tone with a pout.

Seeing her little baby sis like this she felt guilty and went towards her, sitting on bed beside her she hugged her tightly and said, "I m sorry teddy bear... you know na, I'm so stressed... so... sorryyy..."

"It's ok di... I understand.." Taani said while hugging her di back.

"No...it's not ok teddy bear..." Sharon said after pulling away from hug.

Taani looked at her sister and felt bad when she saw her upset. She knew her di is not ready for marriage right now as she wanted to achieve her goals but she also knew her father very well, he always do think about their well being and happiness. After their mother’s death he is their only family. He has given them both mother and father’s love. Even after being so much busy in his business, still he takes time for them as much as he can. He never ever makes them feel like missing their mother as they say every girl is fonder of with their mother but with them it’s not the case.

But right now she has to do something which make her sister relax as well as make her understand their father’s view also.

"Di, just relax and listen to me. Dad ne sirf milne ke liye kaha hai... yeh toh nahi kaha ki apko issi se shaadi karni hai.." Taani said trying to make her sister to understand. Sharon looked confused after hearing this.

"I mean... aap unse mil lo, agar pasand na aaye toh... aap dad se kah dena... he will not force you.." Taani explained hoping that her sister get agreed to meet that guy at least without any bitter thought and also she doesn’t want her father to be upset over this.

"Aur agar usne mujhe pasand kar liya toh..?" Sharon asked in doubt what about if he said yes for marriage.

"Aur agar aapko bhi wo pasand aa gaye toh..?" taani asked her matter of fact.

"No ways...Sharon Kapoor ko dekhte hi log like kare... it's normal... but Sharon Kapoor logo ko like kare... it's impossible..." she said in attitude, standing from bed. "And waise bhi I don't believe in love at first sight." She said further. Taani just shook her head and smiled on her stubborn sis.

"Waise milne kab jaana hai..?" Sharon asked after some time.

"Kal.." Taani replied.

"Hmm... So Mr. Whatever Shekhawat... kal ka din tum apni life me kabhi nahi bhuloge." Sharon said with evil smile.

Taani was looking at her di with horrified expression, don't know now what is her sis up to.
