Chapter 1
"Arjun! Kaisa hai mere dost?" Salil asks me as I get up from my bed, my iPhone held on to one ear.
"What time did you sleep last night Arjun?" Salil asks in a casual tone, seeing he already knew me inside out. A complete ladies man and flirt I was...but to the girls that I considered hot. Not those penny simple society girls. Hot and sexy were my take.
"4am. Actually Pia wanted me to come to her house, but you know me...I said no!" I lie, known to the fact that Salil would never buy it.
"Haan haan, tujhe sharam nahin aati? Arjun Punjj, the son of DK Punjj, roaming around like a road-side romeo" Salil says, immitating a horrified Shanta behn, my maid. Shanta Behn always had grudges against any girl I would choose to be my girlfriend. Right now, I am only 1 girl away from a century, but that will also be finished soon.
"Ya ya, whatever. Tell me why you called?" Finally moving away from the girl topics. As much as I liked Salil as a friend, he would never understand me. Girls are not for keep sakes. Use them and throw them away. But as usual, not many people are as intellegent as me, isn't it?
"I am getting married!!" exclaims an over excited Salil.
I suddenly spit out a whole batch of orange juice, that I was just beginning to drink. "You mean you are getting married?" I say, horrified at Salil's sudden urge of getting married. I grip on to the kitchen counter and try to explain to Salil, that marriage was the biggest mistake of his entire life. "Salil, are you even in your senses to say that you are getting married? Dude! You will RUIN your whole life! Ye ladkiyan sirf girlfriends tak hi theek hai, and if you go beyond that, you are DEAD meat! Please mere dost, DON'T make such a BIG mistake!" I say, explaining more to myself, and giving myself hope that I would be able to live through a whole torture of Salil's marriage cermony.
Salil lets out a light laugh. "Arjun! Purvi is the SWEETEST girl on the earth! I am telling you, trust me. I am NOT making a mistake!"
I slam my fist against my forehead in a 'Crap!' manner.
"Acha sun, DK uncle has booked your tickets and your flight leaves tomorrow, and you better be here for my Engagement ceremony and trust me, I am not getting married until you come." Salil says, adding another responsibility on my shoulders. Now I HAD to go to India. I sink in my steps.
"Fine! What ever you say! I shall come to India." I say, pressing End Call on my iPhone, before Salil could even say anything else.
India? Marriage? Ceremony? I sulked more. Kyun? Why was Salil making such a big mistake? Why? I know I should be happy for Salil and his marriage, but those stupid ceremonies with those girls in all traditional indian wear! Not even one single hottie! I don't know why, but I have gotten immune to weddings, after seeing how my mom and dad's marriage had worked out. Fights, Fights and more Fights. Nothing else. Then finally she left us. Left me and my dad alone. This is why I hated marriage. My mom and dad used to love each other and sometimes I wondered that I shouldn't have been born. All those misunderstandings, my mom and dad being working parents...neither of them had time for me. My dad telling me that my mom didn't love me and my mom leaving me to suffer. To cry myself to sleep. That is why I am never serious about any relationship. Every girl is the same. I am Arjun Punjj, a pure flirt. I let out a little pained giggle. Aren't I? So why am I sad now? A flush of anger filled my heart and mind. Relationships were never meant to last and they never did.
