Hey guys! I'm back from my trip and I was feeling so deprived of writing that I decided to start a new story as soon as I came back home. The idea popped in only this morning. Will update depending on response so please let me know what you think of it!
Prologue
I, Annika, am ashamed to say that I have fallen in love.
With none other than Shivaay Singh Oberoi.
Now, you might be wondering what might be so shameful about falling in love? I'll tell you.
1. I'm his wedding planner.
2. He cannot see beyond Naam, Khoon and Khandan and I have none of that.
3. He's one of the richest men in the country and I struggle to pay a day's rent.
4. He's the most arrogant, self-centered man I've ever met. Period.
Honestly, I have no clue how I still managed to give him my heart. Not a single day goes by when we don't fight like cats and dogs. He seems to have a problem with everything I do, starting from my 'terrible' language to my apparent 'inborn disaster magnet'. He's awfully proud of his money and status. He's marrying a rich khandaani girl who he has no emotional connection with, and doesn't even believe me when I tell him that she's a cheapdi who's already married.
But I guess you could say he has a heart of gold.
He loves his brothers more than his own life. He could do literally anything for his family's reputation and happiness. Despite his obsession with naam, khoon and khandaan he has learned to treat me almost as a friend, if not family.
And not to mention, he's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
With those beautiful kanji aankhen. That perfect hawk-like nose. Those pink full lips that look so damn kissable...
Okay. I need to stop.
Don't blame me, though. That man is an eye-candy.
This is so unlike me. I, Just Annika, who never had the time or will to focus on anything other than making a living for my brother and myself. Heck, I always thought love was the most overrated feeling in this world. Who has the fursat to do all those michmichi type romance they show on TV when you're not even sure about your very next meal?
But life has changed a lot since I met Mr. SSO. I went from hating him to finding him tolerable to being attracted to him to being down-right in love. And how irrevocably in love, that there's no way I can just go on with my life pretending nothing has happened. Nope, I won't do that. Infact, I'll fight from him. I'll save him from that cheapdi's clutches for sure. I'll make him acknowledge this thing we have. I have a feeling he's not entirely indifferent to me either. Hadn't he mentioned it himself, that we have something between us? Moreover, it's not like I hadn't noticed his yearning stares and lingering touches at times.
So if there is indeed something between us, I'll fight for it. If he doesn't accept me, what's the worst that will happen? He'll get married to Tia and she'll deceive him soon and as for me, I'll be heartbroken for the rest of my life. Atleast I'll have no regrets about not trying to gain his love.
But what if I DO manage to win him? Just the thought of spending my life with him makes me feel giddy all over. Oh Lord, Annika. You're in this deep.
Anyway, so it's decided. I'll fight for him. There's only 2 weeks left for the wedding functions to start so I'll have to act fast. Should I make a plan? What do people even do to woo someone?
Okay, I just googled it, and there were many nonsensical points. Such as- Make a good first impression.
HA!
Have a good body language. Really? Ugh.
Be your best self physically. Okay, well I guess I could put a bit of effort into that.
Establish eye contact.
You know what, this is bullshit. I guess I'll just have to go with my own flow. There's no way I'll change myself to attract him. What I will have to do first is find out if he already likes me or not. And if he does, I'll work on making him admit it.
So, how to find out if he likes me...
IDEA!
When will my dearest friend/ neighbour, Rohit, come in handy?
Smirking, I dial Rohit's number. Laying out the plan and swearing him to secrecy, I lay back on my shabby old recliner in satisfaction. Nothing works better than making your man jealous, does it?
So from tomorrow starts the mission of WINNING MY GUY!
You guys will help me, right?
Hope you guys liked it :)
