"Avu wake up yaar everyday you scold me for being late now what happened you are not even waking up get up we have to go college we are being late"
"Rads I told you na I don't wanna come I am really not feeling well "
"But avu you even missed the classes yesterday also "
"Okay fine I will join you from. The second lecture we have... now please let me sleep"
Sorry Rads I am lying to you but it's for your benefit only otherwise that stupid prince charming of yours is not going to say a thing I need to tell her to get the scooter otherwise she will be late to reach the temple on time
"Listen Rads you take the scooter I will go by a cab or an auto"
"But why ??"
"I am not feeling well so even if I come to college I don't think I will be able to ride so better you take it"
"Are you so unwell Avu let me stay with you or else how would you manage alone"
"No no no you can't stay"
"Arey... but Why can't I?? "
"Because because.... yes you shouldn't hamper your studies because of me Rads what kind of friend will that make me and besides aunty Jo is there with me no..."
"Yes I am here only I will take care of her you go Rads " aunty Jo entered thank God otherwise Rads is not going to listen to me and luckily I told aunty Jo about everything I and Sid have planned and she was more excited than us which is not so surprising...
"But aunty even you will have work to do in the house and besides even if  I miss a day of college I don't think it's gonna affect my career graph or something "
"No bacha Avneet is fine see even I got kadha for her she will be fine within a hour after drinking this" she gave me a glass of yuck looking drink... why is she being so realistic....
"Drink it Avneet it's just jaljeera water"she whispered into my ear I drank it and said
"See I already feel a little well now.... You go Rads I will join you later"
"Yes bacha you go and enjoy with your Sam "
"What !!! Why would I enjoy with Sam??"
"S...s...Sam aunty didn't say Sam Rads aunty said sham yes she said Sham as in evening she wanted to say enjoy your sham that is evening "
"But I...."
"Chodo na Rads nowadays you only hear Sam's name and talking about Sam I heard from Jiya yesterday that  Jyotika is planning to kiss Sam again and you know na how naive Sam is he will again let her do it"
"WHAT!!! THAT BITCH how dare she no no I have to go to college I need to teach her a lesson once and for all"
"Yes Rads you should definitely go"
She was going to leave when aunty Jo grabbed her hand and took her into a bear hug
"I am so happy for you child finally...." Shit she is being emotional now Rads is gonna doubt...
"Aaaah aunty Jo I know that you are happy that Rads chose to go to college and you are proud of her for doing that but let her go now otherwise she will be LATE "I said focussing on the word late so she would control herself...
"Oh yes yes go bacha"  and Rads left from there with a confused face
"What is this aunty Jo you would have destroyed everything why are you getting emotional it's not like your Rads is getting married or something she just going to get a boyfriend"
"No bacha it's just that today somehow by seeing Rads I started remembering Sunil she exactly has his eyes"
"You are talking about Rads father "
"Yes"
"You knew him quite closely right"
"Yes at first we were neighbors I used to live in a rented cottage nearby and was quite close to Sunil's mother but then she died when Sunil was quite young and after that day Sunil became like a son to me  I saw him grow from a kid to a teenager and then from a teenager to a handsome young man then Rashmi came into his life Radhika's  mother and his life changed for better even they met in college and started there career together as doctors and they had to go to City to settle down he even wanted me to come with him but I denied because I had been in Dehradun for all my life it had the memories of my husband I couldn't live without it so they went but Sunil took care of my well being also he sold his house to me although what I gave to him was nothing considering this property but still this old women here had some pride so I gave him whatever I could and he took it and then Radhika came into their life and they were so happy Sunil had personally come to pick me up and take me to Rashmi so that I could see his daughter you know I was the one...."
"To give Radhika her name that's why you don't like it when we short it to Rads she told me that"I told aunty she had a faint smile on her face
"Yes but then one day everything vanished they died in an accident I had never seen two people so much in love then Radhika's custody was given to her relatives I wanted to keep her but why would anyone consider me I was not related to her by blood I wouldn't say her relatives were bad to her but not nice also that was the reason she always called me whenever she felt low that girl had seen so much in a young age loosing both her parents shifting between cities all over India and as a consequence not having friends but she never lost her charm in the process and always dreamt of a lovestory like her parents and finally when today her dream would come true I know my Sunil and Rashmi  would be so happy for her that's why I couldn't  control my tears" with that she started wiping off her tears I always made fun of Rads for being stupid to believe such things but today I feel stupid myself her parents love was so strong that it gave her strength to fight against all the difficulties that she must have faced after her parents death I am so proud of you Rads and you so deserve this kind of love in your life and Sam is perfect to give you that
"Come on aunty don't cry now you said right uncle and aunty would be so happy today then do you want to make them sad by crying yourself come on stop now " I said wiping off her cheeks...
"Yes you are right Avneet now go get ready you have to reach the Temple also"
"Oh yes I totally forgot about it"
"Now go I will prepare the breakfast for you"
  I thought of calling Sid and asking about how's the plan working  I dialled his number and was waiting for him to pick up
"Hey Nakchadi missing me so much "
"Stop it Sid I just called to ask is everything okay there I mean did you stop Sam from going to college "
"I didn't have to"
"Why?"
"Just got to know that all his classes are in the second half he is so frustrated now that he can't  meet Rads I don't know what is he gonna do when you call him"
"I just hope everything goes fine and they both reach on  time"
"Ya me too....I will be leaving my house in 15 mins are you ready "
"No I am not but I will be in 10mins so let's meet at the temple "
"Yaa fine I will come to pick you up in about half an hour"
"No no it's fine I will get there by..."
"You know I am not gonna listen to you Avneet bye I need to get ready"
With that he cut the call what do I do  of him..... I think I know what to do just cuddle him as much as possible...stop Avu now it's not the time to get lost in Sid Dreamland pull up your socks you have a marriage to plan
************************************
I don't think it's possible for this day to become worse than it  already is all my classes are in the second half and Rads classes are in the first half and the worst part is even my damn phone is not coming into any use I feel like breaking it but I can't what if she texts or calls I think she may have forgot to charge her phone that's why the call is not going through she is quite careless in that way I need to talk to her just then Sid came out of his room all decked up
"Where are you going bro??"
"My dear brother you don't have classes I do so I have to go no "
"Oh yaa...waise Sid I was thinking even I will come with you what will I do here alone "
"Sam if you have to act so desperate for Rads it's better you propose her atleast she will not think you are chipku or something and besides you have classes in the second half how will you attend them if you are all tired up in the first half itself "
"Ok fine I will not go and I was not desperate okay just thought of accompanying you"
"Thank you bro I don't need it and btw I am taking the bike with me the car keys are in the holder"
"Why are you saying it to me ??"
"Like that only if any emergency arises you have to go somewhere so you can take the car "
"What emergency would arise within the 5-6 hrs you are not here??"
"Anything" with that he went from there he is behaving quite weird today... in the morning also he was asking about my classes like spying on me or something but why am I thinking so much he has been doing weird stuff since the time we landed in Dehradun I brushed off my thoughts and took a bath had my breakfast and got ready just then my phone started buzzing I picked it up in the hope that Rads was calling me but no it was Avneet calling maybe Rads' phone got switched off and she is calling from Avneet's phone I picked it up
"Hello" no it was Avneet only
"Hi Avneet what's up?"
"... .... .... E ..e... everything is finished S...S...Sam "
"What happened Avni?? Why are you crying ??Are you fine?? did those goons come after you again are you safe??"
"No Sam I am fine it's about R...R.... Rads"
"What about Rads Avni you are freaking me out  what's with her even her phone is also not reachable is she fine please tell me Avni"
"No Sam she is not fine at all"
"What happened to her?? please tell me I will die here"
"Sam she is getting married"
"WHAT!!??? what are you saying Avneet ??"
"Yes Sam I am saying the truth you know her Dadi just got diagnosed with cancer and she can't go through the treatment because of old age so she is gonna die very soon so it's her last wish to see Rads settled because she is worried about her future as she doesn't even have her parents so she is getting her married to her Mamu's friend's son and they are not delaying it also "
"What bullshit is this some soap opera is going on or what last wish and everything and Rads can totally look after herself she is doing her MBA right now she is so young for it"
"Ya I know but the boy's family have no problem with her continuing her studies and her Dadi wants to see her happy with her husband that's why"
"Why is Rads not saying anything?? I can't live without her doesn't she know that"
"Yes even I told her that you love her but she is heartbroken after learning about her Dadi and besides she thinks that if you loved her you would have already said it to her and the boy she is getting married to liked her since childhood and have even confessed it to her "
"Oh no no.... I love her.... shit I need to meet her Avneet tell Me where is her marriage taking place?? "
"In the Tapovan temple please Sam do something I know she is not happy with this decision I can't see her regretting this marriage all her life"
"Don't worry Avni I will not let this happen and thank you so much for telling this" I cut the call and stormed out of my house and took the car thank God Sid left it today I drove the fastest I could and reached the Tapovan temple within 10 mins and ran towards the temple and saw a marriage taking place the bride and groom were sitting near the havankund there faces were covered the bride's with the veil and the groom's with the shehra and I saw a old woman sitting in an wheelchair and looking at the bride and groom and a couple standing near them they must be Rads Mama and Mami I would have respected them so much if they hadn't been the reason for taking  my Rads away from me right now I feel like killing them but I don't have time for it I need to confess to Rads she can't be doing this I can't live without her
"RADS!!! What are you doing??  just stop all this nonsense" I stomped towards her and extinguished the fire in the havankund
"Hey you who are you haan and how dare you spoil my bhanji's wedding"
"Who are you... you all don't even  live with her and what is with you Rads have you gone nuts or something who gets MARRIED to full fill a oldwoman's wish and you Dadi I am really sorry for talking like this but what kind of wish is this you are spoiling her life"
"Arey what kind of behaviour is this who are you to command us on that she is my niece it's my wish whoever she gets married to and it's not like we are forcing her or something we have her consent too tell him Radhika beti" her mama spoke... to this Rads nodded her head
" No Rads you can't get married to him you can't get married to anyone else" I said to Rads
"Arey what kind of insanity is this why can't she get married??"
"I told you na she can't she just can't" I roared at her Mama
"Arey but why??"
"Because I LOVE HER you fool" I went towards Rads and held her hand  and went on my knees
"Rads this is totally not the way I imagined to propose you but I can't afford to loose you Rads so here it goes I fell in love with you the day I saw you Rads even between the chaos that Sid and Avni were making all I could hear was your sweet voice trying to calm Avni down I fell in love with you the first time I talked with you I fell in love with you when you laughed on my silly Krishna Wala joke  I can't continue telling you this because then the whole evening will be gone but still the list will not finish but I promise I will spend all my life showing you how deeply I have fallen in love with you I am ready to get married to you too Rads  for your Dadi's wish but I would need sometime I would need to tell my parents too. I will do  anything to make you mine Rads please don't leave me Like this I LOVE YOU RADS"
"I LOVE YOU TOO SAM" the voice I heard I can never mistaken it... it was of my Rads but it didn't come from the girl standing in front of me with the veil but instead it came from the back
I turned towards the voice and there I saw her standing all teary eyed but with the prettiest smile I have ever seen in her face but what is happening did I crash in into someone else's wedding then what is Rads doing here....
************************************
I entered into the college and was searching for that Jyotika how dare she to try kiss my Sam again I will tear up her lips this time just when I saw her my phone buzzed I took the phone and it was Sid
"Hey bro what's up " I said
"Rads I need you right now in Tapovan temple"
"Temple?? But why ?? And I have a class in an hour??"
"Rads this is important and urgent please come soon  Sam's getting married"
"What!! Hello Sid...Sid" oh shit he cut the call how can he do it to me drop the bomb and then cut the call and what was he telling about Sam's marriage how can he get married I just saw him yesterday is Sid playing a prank or something but he will never do it by calling me somewhere I can't take the risk I have to go I took Avni's  scooter and drove to the Tapovan temple and reached there and ran towards the place where marriages took place the bride and groom were standing and the havankund was getting set up the groom was talking to a man I ran towards them and went near the bride and took off her veil and got the shock of my life
"Avneet how can you do this to me I thought you are my best friend how can you get married to Sam "
"What...listen Rads..."
"There is nothing to listen you are taking revenge right because you thought I love Sid"
"What are you saying Rads I am not taking any revenge"
"Then why the hell you are marrying the love of my life ??"
"This is not the love of your life "
"Yes Sam is the love of my life"
"Oh God what do I do of this girl.... this is not Sam Rads.... Will you please take off that shehra of yours now what are you waiting for?? for her to finish our friendship and go from here"the boy took off his shehra
"SID!!!"
"Sorry han it was quite funny seeing you guys fight that's why I was not taking off the shehra"
"What are yo..... Oh my gosh oh my gosh you guys are getting married I can't believe this congrats Avneet yeahhhhh my bff is getting married"
"Rads listen listen first...."
"What's there to listen I totally knew it but..did you guys talk to your parents??... where is Sam ??does he know??....wait a minute what's the hurry you guys are in college now!!! ..... Oh wait fuck Avu don't tell me you are PREGNANT"
"SHUT UP RADS!!!! Have you gone nuts or something and what will you take to shut up and listen... I am not getting married to Sid  "
"Sorry but what do you expect me to think if I see you guys in these dresses"
"This is how you expect me to get married to Sid....or anyone else because I am pregnant how did you think of this"
"Then why are you guys here and wearing these lehengas and sherwanis etc etc??"
"Rads Rads listen to me after sometime Sam is gonna come here you need to hide somewhere and listen whatever he does or tells"Sid asked me
"Why would I be like this jagga jasoos??"
"Just listen to me and do it ....you will understand once he arrives" I obeyed Sid and hid behind a wall and Sam arrived after sometime he thought that I was getting married to someone to fulfill my Dadi's last wish that is funny I have never seen her in my life I think Avni and Sid have pranked him.... he thinks Avneet is me and tells about how he loves me and will be like that forever finally the moment that I waited for so long has arrived he is proposing
"I LOVE YOU RADS"
"I LOVE YOU TOO SAM"  I too confess with tears in my eyes he turns around and is shocked
"Rads you are here then who is....oh shit Rads I thought it's you I was saying those things to you believe me I was proposing you I don't even know who she is..." He said coming towards me...
"Shhshh I know I know you love me "I said coming near him and keeping my hand on his chest near his heart
"Uffff thank God.....just to be clear you are not getting married right??"
I laughed to this how can this boy make me cry and laugh at the same time "No how can I when I have someone as stupid as you " I hugged him tightly
"Just to take it out of my system I really need to propose to you Rads please allow me" he went on his knees again
"All my life I thought that I will meet my soulmate and fall in love with her and make her mine forever and it happened as I had planned it but proposing you had been the most difficult task I had done ever I had been scared like hell but today when I was this close to loose you it made me realize that I never want to have this feeling in my life again the feeling of loosing you that's why Miss  Radhika bijlani will you be mine forever"
I can't believe this is happening in my life the guy I love so much is infront of me in his knees and saying the most beautiful words of the world I couldn't control my tears
"Ahem ahem.... Rads I know it's kind of emotional for you right now but my knees are kind of hurting due to proposing you twice so can I get my answer a little faster
"Yes you idiot " he stood up and hugged me and lifted me in his arms and swirled
************************************
"Sam put me down this is a temple everyone is looking at us "
"I don't care love I am so happyyyyy" with that I swirled her again
"But wait who are these guys "I asked pointing towards the bride and groom
"Your future sister in law jeeeeeju" the girl took off her veil and Avneet came out of it and now I know who must be the bridegroom
"Now let me take a wild guess the groom must be my very own little brother Sidharth Nigam" I asked
"You are a genius bro "
"Genius ke Bache.....ruk tu ruk" I started running behind him with a stick I found nearby
"Stop it no Sam..." Rads said coming infront of Sid
"See how sweet my bhabi is.... not like you"
"Sid I will always be Rads for you stop calling me that"
"And I will always be Sam for you don't call me jeeju and stuff "I told Avneet
"Ok fine we will not call you now but I am not going to stop after you guys get married"
"Waise time acha hai the mandap is ready pandit is there relatives are there  even Sam told he wanna get married aur Mamu Mami ko video call karlenge you guys can get married "
"Don't tell me guys these guys are Rads  real relatives??"
"No bro chill they are not "
"Thank God and I am gonna kill you both you scared the shit out of me "
"But I love you both you made him say all those things thank you" Rads exclaimed and hugged Sid and avni
"Waah!! I am the one who went on knees I am the one who ran here and came like his life depended on it and you give the hugs to them"
"Don't get jealous bro you are going to get lot more than just this hugs from Rads and Rads only thank you is not enough okay we need a lavish treat from you guys"
"Yes even aunty Jo included in the party she helped me a lot to send this Rads to college today"
Suddenly Rads face fell down
"What happened Rads?? " I asked
"Nothing Sam actually I wanna ask you something??"
"Ask no baby"
"Oho baby and all " Sid hooted
Avneet slapped Sid and said
"Stop it Sid they are a couple now you need to stop hooting on everything he says actually you guys have a chat we will change and meet you near the car"
"Okay"Sid and Avni went from there
"Yes Rads tell me what you wanna ask"
"Sam I know it's quite early in our relationship I mean we just got together but I wanna make you meet somebody actually it's my fault I should have introduced  you both earlier but never got a chance she is very important to me I think after my parents all the strength I had was from her you are quite special to me so can you please come with me to meet aunty Jo she is the lady in whose house I live"
"Ya Rads I know and I am glad that I am this special to you I will definitely come infact let's go now all of us she needs to know too"
"Thank you Sam I love you"she hugged me I am never going to get used to her hugs ever
"I love you too baby
************************************
"What are they doing for so long my legs are paining standing over here"
"Be patient Sid they just got together obviously they have things to talk about and why don't you sit inside the car"
"I can't sit in the car I feel claustrophobic and how do you know so much about couples how many have you dated??"
"Look who is asking what is your count?? I am sure mine is less than yours"
"Okay mine is 26 yours??"
"Woah Sid you are 24 and you have been with 26 girls that means you have never been with a girl more than  a month or less than that"
"Forget about a month some of them were only for few weeks or even days...... What?? don't go on judging me now that is what casual dating is "
"I know Sid and I am not judging you btw on which number are you going to settle down"
" Mmmmmm I think 27"he said eyeing towards me
"And why"I asked
"Because I think only she can handle me "
"What if she doesn't want to handle you"
He came closer to me and just when we were inches apart he interwined our fingers and said"I don't think so.... she is dieing to handle me "
I so wanna wipe that smirk out of your face "how are you so sure boys are usually wrong about girls"
And I walked away from him
"Hey Nakchadi...." He called me I turned towards him
"I may be wrong about any other girl but I will never be wrong about YOU" he said that with a wink forget it Avneet however smart comeback you give infront of him you know he is never gonna stop saying those indirect confessions to you just then Sam and Rads came out of the temple and we went towards them
"So guys let's go " Sam asked
"Ya let's go come Sam I will drop you at college you have your classes right"
"No no Sid we all are going to Rads and Avu's house to meet aunty Rads wants me to meet her  "
"Okay let's go then and don't be nervous at all bro she is really sweet"
"How do you know have you met her??"
"Met her?!! he has also flirted with her"I answered Sam
"That's a story for some other day come let's go first "
"Sid listen no I have to talk to you "
"Tell bro "
"Come here" then Sam took Sid with him to a near end corner God knows for what....
************************************
"Sid listen you got your bike with you right "
"Yes bro I will be taking it you take the girls in the car"
"That's why I wanted to talk to you listen take Avneet with you no please"
"Acha.... Mere pyaare Bhai you shouldn't be so desperate in the first day itself Rads is not gonna runaway or something"
"My dear brother this is not desperation this is  normal but you wouldn't understand because in your case the girl you love kissed you on the first day itself"
"First of all I don't love any girl second it was a cheek kiss don't act like we did something "
"Okay Bhai you are right but I haven't had a cheek kiss also please understand"
"Okay fine fine I will take her first time I am letting any girl sit on my bike for you.... You better be thankful to me"
"Ya ya I am bro I know you are not at all interested to let avu sit in your bike "
"Stop that sarcastic tone of yours otherwise...."
"Okay okay sorry sorry let's go now come...."
"Why are you taking so much time let's go " Avu asked
"Avu you wanted to have ride on my bike no come let's go"
"When did....." I eyed towards Sam and Rads to give her a sign and she completely understood it
"Oh yes I said it let's go Sid on your bike " and she started going towards my bike oh God what did I do to deserve this day....A bike ride with Avu am I dreaming or something....
