Chapter 1(Writer's POV)
Trishna was racing all over the house, setting up decorations in every corner of the house. Her dearest Rishu was returning to India today after completing his studies in London. He was her brother-in-law, but she cared for him like her own little brother.
"Patil, take these carnations and set them nicely around the living room. I want it to look colorful." She handed him a basket of the colorful flowers, then checked her watch. His flight would arrive in 3 hours.
"So much to do in so little time!" She exclaimed, placing her hands at her hips and letting out a breath. Suddenly a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She gasped and blushed at the same time. She knew who it was.
"Sultan!" She said. He chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Does my baby need help with something?" He asked politely. She turned to face him.
"Yes! You came at the perfect time! Rishu will be here soon and nothing is ready!" She panicked. He silenced her with a kiss.
"Sultan stop it na! Let me work!" She scolded. He faked anger and began working on his laptop in the dining room. Trishna went up to him and tried to pacify him.
"Okay I'm sorry..." She pouted. "Look I'm holding my ears." She said. He smiled and hugged her. She playfully hit his chest.
"You are such a child Sultan." She said.
"I'm glad to be a child. If that makes my wife happy." Her face lost its glow at the mention of it. She had always wanted kids, as did Sultan, but until Rishu got married, none of this could happen. Tears dropped slowly from her eyes.
"Sorry baby." He said, wiping her tears. "I know you want this, but I can't break my vow."
She wiped her tears and tried to smile. She understood her husband's plight, and she needed to support him. He hugged her tight.
"Sorry." She whispered. He kissed her forehead.
"It's alright. Now let's finish the preparations. Rishu will be here soon."
"Speaking of marriage, I want to start looking at some girls for him." She smiled.
"That's a good idea. Speak to him about it when he arrives. I also plan to make him join our business. I feel that he will take it to great heights."
"That's a great idea Sultan!" She chimed.
(At the airport...)
"Thank for flying with us. We hope you enjoyed your flight." The captain announced.
RK casually got up from his seat, and removed his carry on luggage from the overhead compartment. He took a moment to notice one of the flight attendant. She was some hot stuff, he thought. She was secretly gawking him, which amused him. He loved the attention of beautiful women. He took one of the napkins and scrawled his number onto it. As he moved ahead to deplane, he handed the napkin to the attendant. She looked at it and was shocked and excited. She but her lower lip to avoid screaming. He had that effect on girls. He gave her a wink and his signature smirk before leaving the plane. His best friend Mukund shook his head as he walked behind RK. This guy will never change, he thought. RK turned to him.
"What?" He asked casually.
"Nothing." Mukund replied. He laughed to himself.
(RK's POV)
It was hot and humid when I stepped out of the airport. It was irritating. I took off my coat and slung it across my shoulder. Once I got home I could relax. Where was the damn driver when you needed him?!? The surrounding felt suffocating. I wished I was still in London, but bhaiya insisted that I come back. Even Mukund forced me to come back with him. Worst decision ever. I called the driver. I had enough of waiting.
"Where the hell are you?!" I said.
"Sorry RK sir. Traffic jam."
"If you don't get here in ten minutes then you can kiss your job goodbye." I hung up immediately after that.
"RK relax yaar. He will be here soon." Mukund rested his hand on my shoulder.
"He should. Otherwise he will be jobless."
I tapped my foot angrily waiting for that driver. I was getting thirsty. I went to buy some water. Mukund stayed back to watch the luggage. Some girls were standing there as well. They started giggling and whispering to each other, occasionally stealing glances at me. I removed my sunglasses and winked at them. They gasped and began to giggle even more. No one could resist my charm. I was just too good looking.
"Sir the money for the water?" The vendor said. I looked at him and tossed a 1000 Rs. note into the counter. He picked it up and stared for a few seconds.
"Sir I don't have change."
"Keep it." I flatly said and walked away. The driver had finally arrived. Mukund had put his luggage in and took a seat in the front.
"Now get out of that car and put my luggage in the trunk!" I said to the driver. He came out and did as he was told. I took a seat inside. I looked through my messages. All were from Dipali.
"This girl can't get enough of me." I laughed.
"She is nuts." Mukund said. "She's been after you 24/7. Eu are you dating her anyways?"
"Because...we love each other. We love each other's attention." I said. He laughed out loud.
"Really!? I would have never guessed."
I replied to all her messages and dropped Mukund off at his home. He would be coming to my place later for a welcome party. I laid back and relaxed the whole journey. I couldn't handle this place any more. It was suffocating. I rolled down the window and let my hand out. I almost fell asleep when suddenly a piece of paper hit my hand.
"What the f**k?!" I pulled it in and looked at it. It was a sketch of a girl. She looked gorgoeus in the sketch. Her name was written on top. Madhubala.
(Madhu's POV)
"Madhu! I lost my drawing!" She wailed. "It took forever to complete it!"
"Sanaya, who told you to ride your scooter at over 50 miles an hour?! It flew out because of it."
"I thought I had tucked it in my bag properly!" She began to cry. "You liked it so much Madhu. Now it's gone in the streets somewhere." She cried. She was such a drama queen.
Maa came into the living room with two bowls of kheer. I took them from her and presented one in front of Sanaya's face. She looked at it and grabbed it instantly. She loved kheer.
"Thanks aunty." She sniffled.
"You're welcome beta." She went back into the kitchen. Then Aryan, my naughty little bro, came into the living room. He stuck his tongue out at Sanaya.
"Haha...someone lost her drawing..." He laughed. She threw a pillow at him.
"Aryan, go study." I said, as I didn't wasn't Sanaya to cry into her kheer. He laughed to himself and left.
"How about we go for ice cream tomorrow? To make you feel better?" I asked her. She smiled a little and nodded. She loved sweets. Especially ice cream.
"Done." She said. "And I will draw you again. Okay?" She asked.
"Done." I said.
