"Arnav, have you heard about the Baaraati challenge?"
"Khushi...I'm not interested in any more challenges. I told you, I'm not that person anymore."
"But this is important, Arnav! The baaraatis challenged the author that they would get to Thread 10 before Chapter 10 was up, and the author accepted. If they win, they get a special scene that never made it to the final cut in 'Shaadi'. "
"That sounds...ridiculous. What happens if the author wins?"
"She gets to ask them for one thing...something she hasn't revealed yet."
"You do realize that this is a lopsided deal? The baaraatis win either way, don't they?"
"Yes...I guess. But it's still exciting to watch it all play out!"
"Not for me. I don't care either way."
"Oh, really? So you're not going to be sneaking peeks at what's happening on the CC every now and then?"
"Are you kidding me? Of course not."
"I think you will. You won't be able to resist...you'll be craving to know who won."
"No, I won't."
"Yes, you will."
"No, damn it!"
"Lagi shart?"
"Alright! If I manage to stay away, I get to pick something scandalous from a lingerie store for you. And you'll have to wear it for me...all day."
"Done! And if I win, you'll have to buy me a parakeet. Like Lakshmikant. I even have a name picked out, how does Aarav sound?"
"What? No way!"
"Well, it depends on the challenge now, doesn't it?"
"Haarna meri fitrat mein nahi hai, Khushi Arnav Raizada."
"Aur jeet se muh pherna humaare liye insult hai, samjhe aap?"
