"so you think you have persuasive skills, don't you? "
"Sam, it's past twelve in night and you have called me to ask such a question?" I whined as my so called bf... I mean best friend disturbed my sleep.
" Get your self together and show up at my home right now and knock some sense in my mother. You have 10 mins" she ordered
"What? listen, I know you returned my scooty in the evening at cafe where you paid for my pasta as well.... But this doesn't mean you can disturb my sleep... Got it?"
"9 mins and 25 secs"
"Sam... You-"
"If you don't come here right now, I will tell your Dracula mother that you can cook which you learnt from YouTube and then you know what will you go through"
" I will be there in 5 mins.. Bye" I took my specs and ran to her house as if I was going to take a prize that I won in luckydraw...No way in the hell I can tolerate my mom if she knows about my culinary skills. She is going to keep me whole time in this jail and will also force me to leave my jobs. So I went there with no option left.
At Samaira's place
I rang the bell and aunty opened the door with a grumpy face.
"uhh... Hi... Aunty" I greeted.
" Who the hell you are calling aunty? How many times have I told you to call me Mrs Mittal" She complained not happy with the name I called her.
" Who is it?" Sam's father came.
"Samaira's friend Drishti.... God the girls these days think they are the only young creatures on the earth and all the other females are aunties" Sam's mother said to her husband.
" My dear wife, she must have mistakenly said that....now let her in" Sam's father defended me. They are adorable couple unlike my parents.
So currently we all were in hall with Samaira as well.
I sighed
Time to show your persuasive skills Drishti.

Rakshit
I was currently sitting in my mom's room. I came to check on her before sleeping. When I came and saw her she was sleeping.
I sighed.... medicines always help her in taking good amount of sleep otherwise she gets restless.
When I saw her, I was reminded the things she said to me last time.
"One week"
Then my mind went to the conversation I had with the lawyer today.
"Please... Mr Bansal, I need her within a week, my mom is very sensitive about her and-"
"Mr Rakshit Shergill... I know that but you are obliged to fulfill the criterias which are made by the orphanage. We can't violet the laws, it would be illegal" he said calmly.
" but in one week how am I able to find a girl who will be able to take care of her? this is near to impossible and why is it necessary to be married I am capable to give her good future." I tried to knock some sense in him.
" that's the point, this is not about money it's about responsibility the orphanage very well knows the sufferings children can face. So, they have clearly stated that they want a married couple to adopt any child which belong there.
See, Mr Shergill you will be working at your office all the time that means away from your home and your mother is a heart patient in this situation do you think the girl will be safe if some day your mom gets ill? Please think practical....a child grows well in presence of both the parents"
" I think you are right I never thought this way. I guess I have only one option left and that is to get MARRIED. "
I sighed I need to talk to Rohan and I left from my mom's room giving her last glance.
I am ready to do this for her.
Will Rakshit be able to find a perfect mother for her little angel? Till what extent will he go?to bring her back. The granddaughter of his mother. Read in the next chapter đ
Rakshit "hello... Rohan" I said in a desperate voice and continued as he replied with a hey. "listen to me I want you to help me out... I m stuck in a situation in which I have only one choice" "And what's that?"Rohan asked totally confused. "I.... I.. need... INEEDAWIFE " I replied to him as hurriedly as I could. "Use spacebar in your sentence,so I can make out what are you saying.. alright?" " I said...I need a wife" "come again..You need what?" he asked and I was totally frustrated by now. "Don't you get on my nerves and hear me out clearly... I said I NEED A WIFE " I shouted at him. "Are you drunk... And how dare you drink without me man... I mean you are unbelievable sometimes" he started his melodrama like
Rakshit Morning ; 7:30 am I know I was rude to Rohan but I am so pissed because of the situation I am in. I feel sorry for him but he is stuck with me and my problems. Currently I am making coffee for myself then I will leave for office. Door bell rings "how is my koala bear doing?" Rohan barged in... has he forgot what I had told him last night. "Get out" I reminded him. " No... no koala bear that's not how you treat your best friend forever" he sang in my ears. "I told you something to do" I again tried to remind him. "I know....what do you think I will show up my charming face in front of you... without my work done? So that you can destroy it and I die unmarried?" He whined and I shoot him a glare. "Don't worry... Just check your mail" I served two cups of cof
At Better Half Matrimonial Company Drishti "Listen to me maam I am trying.....just give me sometime I will surely give you some information.... Yeah sure. Thank you so much." I sighed. "What's wrong?" Samaira came running to me. "Remember Mrs Agravat.....her daughter Shruti is a fashion designer and wants a high society guy? " "Ohhh yeah that crazy Mother-daughter duo.... I remember but what was she saying?" "She wants some details from us... She thinks we are not doing our work properly... She wants her daughter to get married as soon as possible and she also said that if we don't give her any information within two days she is going to complain to boss" I told Sam. "What does she think....she is buying a tv or fridge from us?... God these mothers...cant they understand we are finding a perfect ma
DrishtiAt 6:00pmOh god... I hope that everything goes well as Samaira planned otherwise I'll always blame myself for making Rakshit's life hell. That Shruti is a walking trouble.... she has the nature of pointing out mistakes in everything she sees."Earth to Miss Drishti" Samaira nugged me."We reached there?" I asked."Yes...now get down and play the role of a good employee" she winked and I rolled my eyes... Aghh I hate this job."Ohh hi.... Sam and Drish" there comes the most annoying living thing in the world....Ms Shruti Agravat."It's Drishti not Drish" I reminded her."Come on dear it's more fashionable like this" she sang in my ears...I was about to roll my eyes but Sam elbowed me and I stopped myself."Let's go inside we have already booked the table" Sam handled the situation.
Rakshit was still staring at drishti while she was looking at everywhere but not him. "Um....Rakshit, I think you should talk with Shruti in the garden." Samaira interrupted. He just nodded and went to the garden. Shruti stood up and smiled at everyone shippishly and followed him. ~~~~~30 minutes~~~~~ "Samaira if this works out I am not going to forgive you" Drishti whispered to Samaira. "Where is that dumb friend of his?he should realise it's time to call him... I mean tell him to check on Rakshit" Samaira gave a solution to bring Rakshit back from that walking fashionista. "Oh.... that guy who is on a call?" Drishti asked pointing at Rohan. "Yeah, he is Rohan.... go and tell him to bring Rakshit give him any excuse and send him" Drishti nodded hastily and went. "Yes Mr Bansal... Yeah Rakshit has decided that he w
Samaira "What!! This girl is crazy... She said that she doesn't give a damn about this job?" I was furious when I came to know everything from Rohan. "Yeah.... She said that. She even said that she will not allow anyone to spoil our little munchkin's future. So nice of her... " Rohan said dreamily. "Yeah.... so very nice that this could lead her to have no place to live.... If she doesn't do this job with the other one how is she going to pay the rent of hotel and Jiya's fees? Drishti what are you upto" I was talking to myself when Rohan suddenly said loudly. "What!! she lives in a hotel? But why?" Ohh so this idiot heard my ranting. "Don't you have any manners... You should never listen to the person when he or she is ranting... it could be very personal and injurious to your health" I snapped at him. "I am sorry for that but may be I can hel
RakshitWhen I came back from the restaurant I was pissed as hell.... I was making coffee for myself to calm my nerves and at the same time my I-am-too-smart-to-be-ignored friend Rohan barged in.I sighed.More than coffee THIS is going to help me. I took a broom that was under the kitchen counter and ran towards him... as I said earlier I am going to beat the crap out of him for making my profile without the most important detail.I stood opposite to him and threw the broom in his direction while he jumped like a monkey all over the sofa and bean bags messing everything in my hall room."What the hell is wrong with you...stop being abusive" he said totally horrified."You obnoxious son of a gorill
DrishtiSam went home just now after knowing how I ended up saying yes.... I thought she will kill me for this but no she is making me jealous of him.... as he has more persuasive skills than me.God!! Now she is going to tease me for this saying "you no more are expert in persuation... Drop it".I kept my phone on charging when realisation dawn onto me. I haven't informed dad. Oh No!I took my phone and dialled his number... but it didn't connect. Then I texted Jiya because I did'nt want to talk to her in front of Mrs Sharma not even on phone so I texted her to know about Dad's whereabouts and she replied that Dad isn't home since that fight. He informed her that he will be back soon.Why didn't he call me? Is he upset with me? Maybe because I didn't tell him this... earli
The wind was blowing and her dark brown hairs flew in the direction the wind wanted them to. She was patting Riva's head as she decided to sleep in her lap after filling her drawings in her drawing book. The balcony reminded her of the moment or say their moment when her husband decided to kiss her the first time...it was literally her first time as it was her first kiss. She couldn't help but smile when she remembered how she ran out of his arms and went to the washroom and locked herself inside it for more than half an hour and Rakshit got worried and knocked continuously saying he won't do it if she is disappointed and he is sorry for making her upset. She laughed at how desperate he sounded and asked "are you crying" well ofcourse not she was just blushing inside and didn't have the guts to face him. But as she could hear him sigh across the closed door she decided to reply this t
Rohan's povIt was our lunch time and I saw a message popped out on my mobile screen...it was from Mrs koala bear and it read "can you come home it's urgent?"My lunch break still had thirty minutes so I typed yes and went at Rakshit's house. Rakshit even asked me where I was heading but I dodged the question not wanting to lie as I know drishti's message has something to do with Rakshit's birthday and it's a surprise for him.I reached there and knocked. Mrs koala bear came a shoot me a dazzling smile."Hi... thanks for coming..come in" she smiled again." Uh.. would you like to have some coffee?" She was showing me hospitality now."Okay...that's it we are going to a doctor" I confirmed. She is being really wierd I mean we don't have civil conversations and this is scary."What? Why I am fine" she defended bewildered."No y
Rakshit's pov"What!!" Drishti was surprised to know this...at this moment I just want to runaway and not talk about this but I know I better finish this for forever."It's a long story" I scratched the back of my neck feeling nervous all of a sudden."Oh just spill it, will you? I have had enough of your suspense...and I am sure you don't want to provoke me into hitting you with something" she had an annoying expression and was looking for something to hit me."Well I am not a fan of domestic violence....you know..""RAKSHIT FREAKING SHERGILL...just spill it or else I am calling mom and complaining that you made me cry" she pointed a finger towards me threatening the life out of me."Alright... alright" I raised my hands in surrender."Where do I start from...uh..this is more difficult for me than I thought" I muttered and then hea
Riva's pov Today was so exciting...It was my most happy day... I am so happy because I met mom today! Yes..I met mom. When I and drishi mami went for parent teacher meeting today...I was scared that my friend diya and Maria will know about my truth that I don't have parents. I know I should'nt hide it from my friends because grandma says you should never lie specially to those who are close to you. But I couldn't tell them because I always feel upset when they speak so much about their parents. How much they love them...what they do on holidays and how they spend their birthdays. I was sad and couldn't tell them that I do nothing like that as I don't have parents. So today when I and drishi mami went to meet Ms Martha, my class teacher...she said she wanted to talk to drishi mami alone so I went outside leaving the two to talk.  
"oh my god.... Rakshit ..Rohan! Where were you both?" I asked astonished to see their shirts all crumbled and dirty."You should ask that question to your husband Mrs Koala bear" Rohan said then sat on the sofa making himself comfortable."Rakshit... where were you?" I gave him my undivided attention to seek a proper answer."Out" he gave me a monotonous answer."Rakshit!" I glared as if asking him to elaborate."Fine..." he huffed then continued "we might went to talk to the boy who was being the disturbance yesterday on our first date" he sighed."Yeah...if you think talking means punching the shit out of him then breaking two of his ribs plus his nose in a freaking ICU where he was already admitted... surely we talked" Rohan answered with sarcasm dripping down from his voice."You Did What!!!" I asked him looking at him incredulously.
Drishti's povI sent Riva school and now I am learning cooking from veena aunty our housekeeper...she told me about everyone's likes and dislikes even though.... I knew about Mr Shergill's due to our little chat between the dance that day.I cleaned my hands after preparing for lunch and I heard my phone buzzing...I looked at the caller ID and smiled."Hey...had lunch?" He asked"No..I just prepared it now...first I'll serve to mom..then I"ll have mine""Alright then I"ll call you after you have your lunch...yeah that would be right..I should hang up" he muttered to himself."No..no..tell me what is it?you sound nervous""I was..th.. thinking that maybe I and I mean we..""He wants you to ask you for a date" Rohan screamed from behind and I laughed."Can't you just keep your mouth shut...I was trying here" I co
Drishti's povSo...we had a long long movie day...yes "day" because our little munchkin asked Rakshit to complete a dialogue from her favourite movie Frozen every time when the movie ended and when he was unable to answer... which was twice Riva played the movie again...so we watched this animated movie thrice... yup you read it right."My goodness don't you both have any work to do tomorrow" my mother in law entered and sweetly shouted.Currently we all are sprawled on the sofa like dead people not caring about any manners."Mom... thank god you came please take Riva with you inside...I am fed of this stupid movie" Rakshit went towards mom and whispered..but I could hear.She nodded in agreement."Riva...come on doll we need to sleep now... don't you want to go to school tomorrow" mom said in typical mom accent."But grand ma..I am not s
Drishti's pov"Good morning" I heard him say.My head was pounding as if I had a bad hangover but that was not the case.I saw Rakshit standing beside me with a cup of coffee... I guess."Good morning" I muttered not finding any strength to reply due to last night's embarrassment."Here... coffee" he handed me my coffee... while I just stared at it."It's not poisoned..you know. I can check for you." Saying that he had his cup in his hands and took a sip then sighed in relief."No harm you see" he stated dramatically and I rolled my eyes.Then we had our coffee in utter silence but a comfortable one."Want to talk about it?" I heard him ask.I exactly know what is he talking about..my mother that forbidden topic for me.But now I feel I have had enough keeping this inside me for year
Drishti's povYou...you should have died the day I gave birth to you.You are the disgrace to family...I so knew it you married the man because you got pregnant before marriage.Can't believe we didn't know about your relationship.I told your coward of father to not allow you so much of freedom but that idiot couldn't be man enough to stop you.Do you even realise how much our reputation will fall because of the stunt you pulled.You are a characterless girl.Get lost....I disown you.I cried cried and cried... bringing my knees close to my chest...I continued to weep...as long as I can.Her words...her words... pierced my heart as thousands of needles would."Di..you should go back." Jia patted my hairs as if I were younger one here...I nodded as words could'nt come ou
