Mrs. Khurrana!

Dev Khurrana

I was going through a case file when suddenly Anushka's smiling face appeared before me.

Her eyes crinkling, her lips spread into a wide smile, her perfect white teeth, her cute little nose, the twinkle—

I shook my head to get out of my thoughts.

Stop behaving like a fucking teenager!

I just waved my hands before my face to get that image out of my head.

"What's wrong with you?" Jay asked entering my cabin.

"You're here? Karan will be here soon then." I said rolling my eyes.

"Yeah. He is on a call with his beloved fiance. He'll be here in 2 minutes." Jay said making a face and I just laughed at him.

"I don't understand how can they become soo lovesick when it is an arranged marriage?" Jay asked rolling his eyes.

"Yeah! Even I don't get it. I mean Me & Anushka also went through this phase but even after we got married we were never—

I stopped talking when I realised what was I talking.

"I am sorry." I said clearing my throat.

"You need not be sorry about expressing how you feel, Dev. And you should know this whatever happened it was not your fault. And did you forget your's was not an arranged marriage. You knew her for like 2 weeks and you guyss got married." Jay explained me and I just nodded remembering our first meet.

Flashback

I was sitting in a cafe while going through my e-mails when a girl walked towards me.

She was saying something but I was not able to focus on anything she was saying. I was just busy gawking at her.

Sooo beautiful..!

Her caramel brown hair were left open, she had a soft smile on her lips.

She snapped her fingers before my eyes and I got out of my trance.

"Umm hmm.. I am sorry. You were saying?" I asked clearing my throat.

"You did not listen to anything?" She asked glaring at me.

"Sorry, you're just too beautiful. It's difficult to concentrate." I said with a smile getting up from my seat.

She just rolled her eyes and forwarded her hand in my direction.

"Anushka Tandon. And I won't fall for your charms easily." She said chuckling.

I took her hand in for a handshake.

"Dev Khurrana. It's really difficult to resist my charms." I said winking and she again rolled her eyes at me.

Nonetheless, she smiled and took her seat opposite to me.

I was just smiling like a fool looking at her. And it was really shocking because I've never behaved like this around a girl.

"What should I expect out of this marriage?" She said coming straight to the point.

I just raised my brows at her.

"Whatever you would expect from a normal marriage. I want you to know that we could think of it as an arranged alliance and not a compulsion." I said and she sighed.

"Thank God! I thought you would say all the shit about how you don't want to get married and we'll just get married for the sake of it." She said with a chuckle.

"You've assumed too much." I said chuckling.

"Though the constant smile on your face clearly said that you're too smitten by me."  She said laughing.

And It was sooo beautiful!

"We can start as friends, you know. So, friends?" I asked putting my hand forward.

"What are you, five?" She asked chuckling and I just shrugged.

"Friends." She said shaking my hand with a smile.

Flashback Ends

"Too lost in Anu's thoughts are we?" Karan's voice snapped me out of my dreamland.

"Karan, just stop with your nonsense." I said glaring at him.

"Dev, stop being in denial. Tell me that you're not happy to see her?" Karan said with a serious face.

Fucking Happy!

"I am very happy, Karan. But where does that bring us again? She does not want to talk to me about anything. I am just so confused because the way she talks about our marriage it was hell for her. But from my point of view it was great." I said confused.

"Dev, there are a lot of reasons behind what a person does. I think you should try & talk to her again." Karan said and Jay just gave him a stink eye.

"Why should he try & talk to her? She ranaway, she should explain." Jay said.

"That's not how it works, Jay. This attitude won't land them anywhere. Can't you see he was so restless these 2 years without her. Now that she is before him, why to back off?" Karan said rolling his eyes.

How annoying can they both be?

"Will you both stop?" I yelled frustrated.

"Jay, I need to talk to her for my peace of mind. And Karan, I am not backing off because the moment I saw her I felt like the same Dev Khurrana again who used to smile like a fool seeing her." I said sighing.

"I am confused because I don't know why am I feeling this. I should be angry on her for leaving me suddenly but rather I am trying to know what are her reasons." I continued.

"And the worst part is, no one has ever had me wrapped around their little finger like she did. I guess, she has me wrapped now too. Just one word from her and I would go running towards her. I just want her to take that one initiative so that I know that I am not the only one feeling this. I don't want to trap her again." I said sighing.

I remembered that she mentioned in the message she left back that she felt she was trapped.

"You want her back?" Jay asked with a micro smile on his face.

"I don't know anything anymore. I just know that she is occupied all my thoughts again. But If she does not even want to open up to me regarding her reasons then I can't help it." I said getting back to my work.

"I think he is going to be in love soon." Karan whispered.

"You and your stupid conclusions. But this time even I think that she is his the one." Jay whispered.

I wish she is my the one!

I really do..!

"I knew it from the start, she is the only one made for Dev Khurrana." Karan whispered.

"Aahhaa! Don't act oversmart now." Jay whispered.

I just raised my head and looked at them raising my brows.

"We were just talking casually." Jay said shrugging.

"You both can talk casually about me & Anushka after getting out of my cabin." I said with a smile to them pointing towards the door.

"Yeah! We are leaving." Jay said getting up.

"Oh by the way, there's a good news for you. Our wedding planner is Mrs. Khurrana." Karan said grinning.

And I looked at him confused and when I got what he was talking about. I smiled as If I won a lottery.

Mrs. Khurrana!

I loved to call her that..!
