Mujhse Shaadi Karoge?
Chapter-1
The bride wore red.
The Priest was in a kurta.
The bounty hunter wore jeans.
And the groom was in handcuffs!
Meher Mann gripped the edge of her pallu and stared at her would-be groom. So close, she thought. If that bounty hunter had arrived only five minutes later she would have been married.
But there was no chance of that now. She shifted her gaze to the man who had introduced himself as Preet Juneja, bounty hunter. This tall, lean man with dark black haired eyes that seemed even darker, held her bridegroom in a gap that told Meher he had no intention of letting go any time soon.
Behind them, a set of speakers sent strains of Ram Ram jai raja ram into the tiny Temple.
Priest Raghu's chants were cut mid-verse and a small group of people gathered at the temple.
"Sorry, Honey",Meher's would be husband finally said, "But I guess the wedding's postponed"
"For how long, she whispered
"My guess " The bounty hunter spoke as he tightened his grip on the groom's elbow..About five to ten
"Minutes?, Meher asked
"Years!", he replied flatly
"Nooo...you can't..just..I.." ,she stammered
"Oh .., the groom intervened.."Look at the poor baby, at least lemme kiss her"
Meher took a quick step back
Preet noticed and lifted an eyebrow slightly, I don't think the lady's interested, Viren
"Of course I don't want to kiss him" ,Meher said shortly. "We only just met"
Preet looked at her baffled..."You don't know him?"
Her fingers tightened around the piece of cloth she had been holding on to. Allowing her gaze to sweep across the man she'd almost married, Meher winced at the neon yellow coat covering the satin white shirt he wore. Shifting her gaze from the string of gold chains dangling across his hair chest, Meher barely managed to suppress her shudder.
"No", she said finally..."I don't know him"
Preet tilted his head and looked at Viren. Shaking his head, he said..
"Hell Viren, I didn't know you were this popular. Damn, now you even have strangers wanting to marry you...What is she ..Wife number seven?"
"Nine"
"Nine?", echoed Meher
"Oh yeah", Preet said glancing at her..."Marrying you can say is his profession"
"What?"
"The only problem is...Viren doesn't believe in divorces, right Viren?", he said as he jerked the shorter man's collar and yanked him into his car...
"Listen Mr.??", she interrupted him
He'd been running around the city since morning looking for this buffoon and was too tired to listen to a jilted bride...especially one too dumb to realise how lucky she was.
"Yes?", he sighed
"Juneja, right?"
"Preet", he reminded her .."Lady, I am too tired and cranky...and in no mood to listen to your tales of heart break...If you could please excuse me.."
"You have to listen to me" , she extended her arms to block his way...She wasn't easy to put off he realised...Despite being tired, the way she stood amused him.. She wasn't sexy but definitely beautiful. His gaze dropped over her bosom. Her outstretched arms and the low neckline gave him quite a view of her cleavage...
"Have you seen enough?", Meher asked..
"For now", he replied shamelessly as he lifted his gaze...
Her lips pursed briefly at his comment...Taking quick control over the situation...she continued...Look Preet...
"Miss, I have no business in why you wanted to marry this buffoon.."
"Preet, I want to explain to you why you should allow me to marry this buffoon before you take him away?!"
