Karl's curiosity shot up after looking at Ajay's shocked face. He inched closer to him and mouthed, "What did she say?"
They had been in a middle of a discussion in Ajay's study when Diya's call had came in. Karl was surprised to see Ajay receiving an unknown call on his personal phone. No one had Ajay's personal number except for Karl and Veer. Even Sara didn't have it. So he had a guess about who it could be.
Ajay had guessed the same. He was just a little surprised as he didn't expect her to call him so fast.
But what she said next rendered him speechless.
Ajay thought he had heard her wrong. "What?"
Diya couldn't bring herself to repeat the 'favor' so she said, "You heard me right. I'm so sorry for asking this difficult favor when we don't even know each other well. Something came up and I need to get married asap. You can say no. I'll just call the next person I have in mi-".
Diya was interrupted by an angry 'no'. She had expected this outcome but still, she was disappointed. To be honest, she only had Ravi and Ajay in her mind. But Ravi was in a relationship and she didn't have any other male friends. She could only blame her introverted self.
"It's fine. I'll apologize to you in person for today very soon. I need to go n-" she was interrupted again by the continuous 'no' Ajay shouted. Diya was embarrassed. "I get it. You don't need to reject me multiple times."
Karl couldn't help but laugh at Ajay's anxious face. He was dying to know what the conversation was about that made Ajay react that way.
Ajay didn't know how to express the feelings he felt at that moment. The thought of her marrying another man made him sad and angry. And if he said no then he will be the reason for her to marry another man. He didn't want to let it happen.
"Where are you now?"
-
Diya glanced sideways at the man she was going to marry in a few minutes. She had been wondering what to do after the call when Ajay had reached her with a worried look on his face. He had only calmed down after Diya told him the reason she was in the hospital for.
Without having to explain much, Ajay understood the situation she was in and agreed to help her although Diya told him she could ask someone else. Strangely, she saw him getting irritated when she said that. 'Didn't he reject me just now? What made his mind change?'
-
Ajay parked the car and turned to Diya, "We are here." Looking at her hesitating, he smiled at her and said, "I promised that I will do my best to help when I gave you my number, and that's what I'm doing. I'm doing this willingly."
Before she could change her mind, Diya smiled at him and said, "Let's go."
