Aruna
Shortly after our stilted conversation, I had left, I decided to leave for two reasons, one, I wanted to meet Rashu as soon as possible and two, talking to Sumit was becoming a chore. I had arrived late at Sumit's house and it was already past 1 p.m. Rashmi might have arrived already. I even forgot to tell her that I wouldn't be able to pick her up as I did not remember that I was supposed to be visiting granny today.
ArunaYou might have read in many fictions about a scenario where a girl's best friend meets her boyfriend and shit hits the fan, well, something similar was about to happen and I could foresee all hell breaking loose.I gulpe
Aruna"Where is ma?" I asked Rashu, plopping down on the sofa. I was feeling too lazy to go to my room and change. "Taking her hour-long bath", she replied, plopping down beside me. "That's why she did not come out to stop her son-in-law from leaving", I quipped. Rashmi giggled.
ArunaAt night we decided to watch a movie while savouring ice-cream. Rashu was currently browsing through the movies I had on my laptop and I was brushing my hair, getting ready for the girl's night. We used to watch movies often in our college days. But now this occurrence is as rare as a hunter's moon.

The man was standing in front of me with an evil smirk while I sat huddled in
Aruna"So you will not go?" I asked Rashu for the umpteenth time. "And be the third wheel. No, thank you", she scoffed as she took another bite from the toast. I rolled my eyes. It was not like we were a real couple.Its been
Aruna"So are wereallygoing to watch a movie or even that was a lie?" I quizzed unable to keep the bitterness in my voice at bay. He chuckled, "No. I did book tickets. But I don't know whether you will like it or not". He glanced at me for a second before training his gaze back on the road, I frowned, "Is it a chick flick? If yes then I am sorry to inform you that I am not very keen on that genre."
Aruna"The movie was so good. RDJ was so cool", I sighed dreamily before taking another bite of the steamed momo."It was a torture for me though", He replied glumly while idly stirring the soup.
SumitRejected.Yet again. I felt rejected.
ArunaThe girl, dressed in a red lehenga - her bridal attire, looked back at me. Her usual dull brown orbs had a certain glint and was enhanced by black kohl and eyeliner. Her lips, tinged with red, looked plump, her cheeks showed a faint tinge of pink. Hair was made up in a bun, leaving a few trendrils loose.
Aruna"My bestie is finally getting married", Rashu gushed. I rolled my eyes and grumbled, "You are acting as if I took an oath of celibacy which I am breaking now"."You can say that as well", she replied as she took another spoonf

SumitAfter getting an earful from granny about how wrong it was of me to pry into Aruna's personal information, though I did not tell her about that even she did that sort of background check. However, she let me go but only after Rohit reassured her that we had reconciled.
ArunaI was sitting on the edge of the bed and replaying the events that took place today. I felt a lot lighter."Miss Aruna Mathur!" Someone's high pitched voice rang through my mind. I whipped my head to see the source of that voi
ArunaWe left the café and headed towards Sumit's car. As soon as Rohit saw us approaching he got out of the car and flashed a grin at us, "Solved your lover's tiff?"I did not answer and before Sumit could reply my hands sho
ArunaIblinked.Once.
ArunaIpursed my lips. The first question that popped up in my mind was - what did he want now? Then my confusion thickened when my eyes yet again landed on Rohit. How did he know him? Moreoverwhenthe heck did Rohit come?
Aruna(after coming home from the restaurant )I cannot describe how I came back home. It felt as if I was in a trance. I had taken a cab to reach home, I was lucky enough to get one.
