Sanjana was effusively talking to her friend Misha about her favorite topic-----ROMANCE!
Misha: Just give me a break darling! You've been going on and on for hours together. Your parents were in love or what that you are so much in love with the very word LOVE! As far as I know, you don't have anybody in your life. So it has to be them!
Sanjana: No Mish! They were the most unromantic couple on the planet! And theirs was the most unromantic romance!
Misha: That sounds interesting! What's their story?
Sanjana: This story started when my parents Khushi Bajaj and Arnav Singh Raizada met each other twenty years ago. Or rather it began much earlier in 1988 when two bosom friends, Vaishnavi and Krithika promised each other that they would keep their friendship alive by getting their children married if they had a son and daughter. Many things happened after that -----Krithika ran away from her marriage mandap with Rohit Bajaj and never came back to Shimla, the birth place of both the friends!
Misha: Oh! So it was a destined to be love story between your mother and father! I bet Arnav was Vaishnavi's son and Khushi Krithika's. So it was a match fixed by their mothers!
Sanjana: Yay! That's possible if Krithika knew that Arnav was her dear friend's son and Vaishnavi was alive to tell her this!
Misha: That means both of them fell in love unknowingly without any knowledge of the past!
Sanjana: Nope! Both of them hated each other to the core! They were the most mismatched yet the most made for each other couple! In a sense we can say they completed each other!
Misha: Your mother must have been the typical heroine material with long hair, fair, beautiful, demure looks, silent, and soft-spoken.
Sanjana: My mom! You must be joking! She was a real champ. She had short hair, wore tee-shirts and jeans, rode bikes, painted in brilliant hues and colors, always came first in the class not because she wanted to but she always believed in giving her best shot to whatever she did, a die-hard optimist with tremendous zest for life, never dieted even once in her life for that perfect girly figure, gorged on cookies and pastries whether she was happy or sad---wait a minute, she was never sad, so it had to be for happiness, was the life and soul of every party, silence was like her enemy because she never could keep quiet for an instant, and never had a boy friend apart from my grandfather, Mr. Rohit Bajaj because she never felt the need for another person in her life. My grandma forever tried to make her conform to seedhi-sadhi Bharathiya nari stereotypes but in vain because Khushi always had her way in the Bajaj household. Thanks to my grandfather!
Misha: And your father?
Sanjana: My dad was the perfect opposite of my mom. If my mom believed that even a speck of light can vanquish the surrounding darkness, my dad saw night even in perfect daylight. He was your typical Byronic hero, dark and handsome, with a strange burden on his soul, forever brooding. He loved Shakespearean tragedies, never went for parties, or even hang out with friends. He always preferred salads and boiled vegetables with bread and butter kind of stuff. It was the same menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He was a top ranking student at school and college because he wanted to prove a point to himself and to the rest of the world that he was worth it, and to rid himself of his inferiority complex. Always wore black and succeeded in making just one single friend in the twenty years of life he had lived, Akaash. He never shared his feelings with anyone except Akaash and his cousin sister, Anjali. If there was one person he truly hated on earth, it was his father, Mr. Vikas Singh Raizada.
Misha: You're making me curious! How was their first meeting?

The bike was racing along and the speedometer was hovering around the 100 mark. Suddenly she applied the sudden brake and screeched to a halt. He fell to the ground bruising his arms terribly
"Arey oh Devdas! Marna hai kya? Road ke beechon beech kya kar rahe ho? Suicide attempt?"
"Gadi dheere nahin chala sakthi kya?"
"Tum pavement use nahin kar sakthe kya?"
That was their first meeting!
