CHAPTER 2-THE PROPOSAL
I rang the bell of the red-stoned apartment for the 6th time, damn I was so tired and exhausted (obviously, jet lag they call it.) That obviously didn't bother my ever-so romantic best friends; I bet they must be busy with their daily life dose like any other married couple. Finally I heard the door knob open, and there stood Karan, a sleepy useless head!
I pushed myself in, giving him a disgusted look and headed straight for upstairs, that a** didn't even help me pick my luggage!
Trishna stood there with the biggest smile on her face and before I could even utter a word she hugged me with full force, dropping my bag!
"O Madhu! You've no idea how glad I'm to see you here!" she exclaimed, still not leaving me… I somehow managed to get out of her grip.
"Yeah Trish, me too! Is my room ready?" I asked while she frowned
"You could show some enthusiasm you know, of meeting me!" she pouted, oh this cute lady!
I laugh half-heartedly and sat down next to her
" We know each other since 8 years Trish, and living with each other since the past 5… this isn't my first time in NYC and you guys are family, I thought we're not supposed to be formal!''
"So Ms. Hippie is finally back, btw, you know right families get over-excited when any one of their members returns back from somewhere?" Karan, speaking Sh*t as usual!
I ignored him and continued talking to Trish, "I missed you moma!"
Yes, Trishna is the biggest Ma in this world, and trust me I love her for that!
"Shut up! I missed you too" she said while getting up.
"I'm still here; I guess I am still your best friend, yeah?" Karan spoke as usual!
"Yes, and I missed you too: schmuck face!"
"Your an offensive runaway bride!" there the cat slipped out of the bag!
Trishna stopped in her tracks as she was proceeding towards the kitchen,
And then the outburst started," What? Runaway Bride? Madhu?"
Hell now, I'll have to handle his panicky-mom wife with her never-ending question banks and that too in a state of drowsy-ness. Great, just great.
I gave karan a look of detest and Trishna that of apathy.
"Trish, baby relax… She was being forcefully married…" Karan tried helping, but obviously Trish had to cut him off," You kept this from me? I expected this from her not you!"
"It's not his fault," I saved his a** again," look Trish I was forcefully being dragged into this mess and when everything was being imposed on me, this was my way of dealing with it…plus its consensual, I hooked up Mukund with his long time muse!" I explained tepidly.
Trishna looked at me and then sighed, she sat down on the sofa while Karan held her arm and I stood right in front of her like a 15 year old who just lost her virginity…
"Look mads, this idea of marriage may not go down well with you, but you do need to settle down…"
Wow, just another agony aunt like I didn't have my paternal family already.
"I'm exhausted; can we reserve this topic for the evening?"
Trishna tried protesting but thank god for Karan, that jerk can be useful sometimes.
I entered my room they hadn't changed a bit, yayy! It felt heavenly, memories of my college life still fresh in my mind… Now I was finally back, I threw my handbag on the couch while I crashed on the bed and allowed sleep to conquer me!
I battled with my eyes to wake up, only to find two pair of familiar eyes staring at me with miser ability
When I was finally wide awake I looked at the figure, OMG Mukund… How on earth did he…?
"I've waited for over 3 hours for you to wake up!" he explained frustrated?
"How did you…?" I murmured
"Well I managed to get the details when I came here"
"Why are you here?"
"Honeymoon ofcourse!"
I sighed in relief,
"Well that doesn't mean I've come to see you only because of that!"
"What do you mean?"
"I…okay so my parents were totally against my wedding which resulted in me being chucked out of the house… and your family is finding you like crazy, your brother is probably gonna come here searching for you!" He stated waiting for a response…
"Oh" that was expected, I knew it!
"They figured out there was nowhere for you to go except… and there's not much I can do to help you…sorry" he spoke guiltily…
"Ah! Doesn't matter, I'll run away by the time they catch me…" I grinned, I really don't care about then, do I? Well except Ma…
"Again" he spoke taken aback
"Why not?" I winked at him, getting out of my sleeping zone…
We went out, and I noticed his bride- Neha, properly for the first time! She was pretty, very!
"Hi Madhuu!" she squealed while embracing me in a tight hug, did I tell you how much I resent hugs?
"Uhh…Hey Neha!"
"Neha, sweetheart I think we should take leave…" Mukund said noticing my discomfort…
Neha frowned and the duo quickly bid us fare thee well and left!
Trishna turned towards me with that look- that DREADED look! I hate that look, where is Karan? Why does he always have to leave for is stupid business work whenever I need him?
"What?" I spoke innocently
"You are being chased woman, this is enough!" she threw her hands in the air," Madhubala Mallick, we are going to have some serious talks in the evening when Karan is back!"
I tried saying something, but then…
"No, no more explanation and no more running away, you've been doing that since ages now! Go freshen up!"
I walked off grumpily, Ages? No ways… I just ran away twice okay- first time being when I was forced to go to some stupid college in India… why don't I get to make my life decisions! And now Trishna, great… well Trishna and Karan were the only family I have I suppose! I mean, I love them… and we're living together since the past 5 years now so…
After what seemed like hours and hours of endless waiting, Karan finally came back. Well he was one busy, filthy rich ass hole!
Karan Kundra, was the partial heir of Kundra and Inc, Companies…and recently his ever so rich dad had set up a business in the States in collaboration with a fashion firm. FQ (the biggest fashion magazine) was under this man; well not exactly… it was under his cousin brother…Wow isn't it? But that's not why I got the job, im a self-made woman and my application was chosen by the other Kundra, Karan's first cousin…No I hadn't met him, not yet…
So when dinner was finally laid out,
"Sup my buddies what did you girls do today without me?" Karan has a habit of giving himself more importance than necessary…
"Madhu had a great time sleeping while I was cleaning the house and faced her part of the reality!" Hola! There goes Trish's sarcastic comment…
"What's wrong?" Karan looked at me and then her…
"Mukund came!" I murmured…
"What!?" Over-reaction that's Karan…
"Relaxx! It's nothing much."
"Hell yeah, Madhu, its nothing much that a guy has been kicked out of his house, you are on a good runaway, your parents are going crazy searching for you, and if worst comes to worse your brother is probably boarding the next flight to New York! Nothing much, is it?" There goes her outburst, and before I know it she walked off in a rage…
I entered her room, and saw Karan seated besides her… consoling her! Hello! It's me you guys are talking about… sometimes I regret for introducing these two! Look now they're married!
"Trish, talk to me…" I said while holding her hand, I can't see these two hurt okay? Especially if I'm the reason…
"Madhu, you need to stop all this running away and settle down…" she said hopeful, I looked at Karan and he averted his gaze, wait! What? No… he was giving in?
"It's high time Madhu, Trish is right! You can't keep living like this!" Karan!!
"If this is about my brother coming here then trust me…" I finally said something…
"It's not! Madhu, technically this is your house, you can stay here forever but not alone- We both are married, and we want to see you settle down… is there something wrong in that? We have always supported your baseless flings! But that time is over girl, you need to have a steady life!" Trishna was in no mood to listen I guess…
"Let's just talk when you're all calm and composed…" I said irritated
"No , Ms. Mallick we are going to talk now! Madhu if you don't promise me to find someone suitable for you within the next two months, I swear to god! If your brother turns up on the door I'm not going to be the one to send him away- Alone!" Trishna meant business now, great!
"Two Months!!!?" I was hell-shocked!
"Madhu, c'mon you can't keep running away from life like that…You've had enough fun and now see? You've got your dream job too, no more excuses! If you don't find someone, we will!" Kundra? He's talking to me like this!
I shut my eyes close, "Okay"
Trishna jumped in joy and Karan hugged me… I just got doomed!
"But, I'm not going to change myself for some guy!" I said laying out my conditions…
"That would just suck!" Karan teased me while I shot him a death glare!
"Thanks Karan" I muttered
I had two months to fulfill everything I can to find a groom and to live life the way I wanted!
"Btw, wanna grab some drink guys?" Trishna was on top of the world
"Its 10 already!" Karan explained
"It's New York Karan!" Trishna squealed
"Even if you guys don't accompany me, I'm going" I said while walking out to get dressed…
We left by 10:30 sharp for CZAR, the one place that would give me peace at least for tonight!
