SHREYA'S POV
"Ohh Gosh!!! Flight was so tiring and thats the reason I don't like travelling" siya slumped against the back seat, beside me. We were now returning back from the airport. We both sat on the backseat and Ruhi on the passenger, Abhi Bhai as usual driving without uttering a single word.
I chuckled at her and passed her a water bottle and a dark chocolate bar, her favourite, I know she will be sulking like a child after the flight and her mood will be brightened by a chocolate bar.
Her eyes started shining like a baby, she looked at me with grateful expression and blew a flying kiss before jumping on the chocolate.
I looked at her and shook my head with a smile before looking straight, she prefers silence when she is tired so I will talk with her later.
"He is mute??" I jerked and looked at her who was whispering in my ears while looking towards Bhai. I heard Ruhi giggling but soon covered it and when I looked at Bhai, I gulped because he was looking at her from the front mirror.
I hissed and hit her hand, she yelped while rubbing the spot where I hit and sat straight before muttering "what??"
"Shut up" I glared at her, she sulked and pouted before continued to eat her chocolate but not before passing me her famous glare.
"You are cute, di" Ruhi giggled, while looking at siya, who smiled widely and blew her a flying kiss and thanked her.
I couldn't control my chuckle at her dramatic ass, one's she gets comfortable with anyone than you can't control yourself from laughing.
"Pagal" I muttered and looked straight.
"Bhai, we don't to go Roy villa so please turn in this direction" I told him, who looked at me from the front mirror with his stone expression before nodding his head and turned the car towards the told direction. I don't want to see their faces and neither do I want their encounter with siya because she never liked my family except Dadu.
I don't think I can ever be used to his expressionless face, atleast Viraaj is little better than him. Thinking of him, my mind went towards the incident on our engagement night. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the memory from my mind. His voice, his words, were like a persistent ghost, haunting my every thought. I shook my head, trying to clear my mind and focus on my best friend who was here with me now.
I looked at siya only to find her looking at me with unreadable expression. I raised my brows and she shook her head before looking forward. I know something must be roaming in her mind otherwise she won't beso quite through the whole journey.
" From here, left" I directed Bhai. Because the place she bought her house was a very scheduled place, only few houses were built there but that place was beautiful in every sense. Surrounded by greenery and away from city's pollution and population. Her house is my favourite place to go and calm my mind.
Bhai pulled the car at the drive away, we all got off the car. I smiled and took a deep breath before looking towards my favourite place. Her house was a small but cozy. Siys bought it with her first Income and I was the first person beside her mom and her little sister who she has ever allowed to enter in there.
"Finally!!! My sweet home" I exclaimed before walking towards the main door. She made sure that there should be a garden that will surround the whole house. Her place is made in a little American style as per her liking.
"Hayyy, kush" she exclaimed and greeted her neighbour, Kush. Who made sure to take care of her plants and flowers when she was not present here.
"Woww!! Bhabhi. This place is not less then heaven" Ruhi squealed and looked her surroundings with aww filled expressions.
"Yeahh, I know right" I matched her enthusiasm and smiled at her childish behaviour.
"Hey kush" I greeted him with a handshake. He is a fine and pretty young man in his early 20s, his brown hairs were making his appearance more appealing.
"How are you, Di" he said, he calls me Di and Siya with her name. Well, he has a crush on her and that girl knows so she behaves little better and treat him better than she treats other guys.
"Better, as you can see" I said and talked for few more minutes before walking inside the house with Ruhi with me. I know she won't be having a problem with Ruhi accompanying us into her house. She can identify how a person is in first meeting itself.
I looked at siya who was sprawled on the couch with her eyes closed. 'she must be tired' I thought and walked towards her.
"Sit, Ruhi" I said and placed Siya's handbag beside her.
"Nahi bhabhi, I have to go. Everyone must be waiting for us" she said and looked at me with apologetic expression. I smiled and patted her head before walking out to look after Bhai.
I walked outside and saw him talking on the phone, he turned around and looked at me before cutting the call.
"Thankyou, Bhai. Not for picking accompanying me to the airport but for earlier" I smiled at him, his eyes softened but his expressions remained same. He patted my head gently in a brotherly manner which filled my heart with warmth.
"Take care of yourself" he muttered and I nodded. He looked around for Ruhi and his eyes stopped. I followed his gaze and saw Siya laughing with Ruhi. She was hugging Ruhi from the side before she reached out for her handbag and took out a chocolate bar. He handed it to Ruhi and patted her head before Ruhi stood up and waved at her. Siya waved back and against slumped against the couch before closing her eyes.
"Let's go, Bhai." Ruhi said to Abhi Bhai, who was still looking at siya but soon left and walked towards his car.
"Byee byee, Bhabhi" Ruhi said and I hugged her before bidding her bye. I walked inside when they both left, I sat beside Siya and sighed in relief.
"Kuch khayegi??" I asked her, who opened her eyes and looked at me with done face
"Aapko banana aata hai??" I mocked me, I grinned because thats the truth. I don't know how to cook except for few things.
"But I can make your favourite Mayo sandwich" I suggested and she grinned. She loves the Mayo sandwich I make. This recipe was my own hand made, when I was in school I made this for the first time and after taking the first bite I declared myself a chef. Just kidding, I declared myself master chef.
"Go and get freshen up" I said before walking towards the kitchen.
After some time I walked back towards the living room with sandwiches in my hand and kept them on the table before sitting on the couch. Just in time siya came wearing oversized tshirt and shorts.
"Yayyyyy, sandwiches" she exclaimed and picked up a sandwich and moaned in delight when she took the first bite.
"Heaven, bro" she sighed but soon straighten up and looked at me with serious expression.
"Tell me why were you stressed??" She kept the sandwich back and sat beside me.
I sighed and looked at my lap, I took a deep breath and told her everything from the start, how I met Viraaj's grandfather to the engagement incident. Throughout this she was listening to me with patience and waited for me to complete.
"That's what happened" I sighed, I looked at her and waited for her reaction but all I got was silence. Her silence was making me more anxious
"You made the right choice" she broke the brief silence and held my hand in her.
"That fiancee of yours is a dickhead but I can tell he's not what we think he is. You said that he loves his family and was marrying you for them, if a guy like him who is so successful and is this powerful got ready to marry you just for them then think how much he respects then and loves them. If a man loves his family then he will also respect their decision and will treat you right. His family loves you, they will fulfill your need of wanting a family and if they are with you then your soon to be dickhead husband can't do anything. And talking about love, he will fall head over heels for you and that's my guarantee. If he does something wrong then I am here. "
She flipped her hair that were tied in a messy bun, I laughed at her act but her words comforted me in every way that can be possible. She was right and even if can't love me then that's okay atleast his family loves me and that's all I want.
I nodded with a smile, she hugged me tightly and I sighed, I rested my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes. This is my peace that I crave. She has the ability to make my all problems shoo away. She can tell what's going in my mind without me saying a single word.
My comfort place, but there's something she doesn't know and I am not planning to tell her that, atleast not now but soon enough. She already has so much on her plate and lots of to deal with but still she came her within a day just for me.
"Let's go to club tonight" she suggested after breaking the hug, I looked at her confused on why she suddenly said this. She is not a party persona and avoid crowd as much as possible.
"Why???" I asked
"Aree bahut time hogya since I visited any club and moreover thode dhang ke ladke dekhne ko mil jayenge" she winked at the end and I chuckled
"Kya fayda dekhne ka aaj kal bhagwaan ne achhe ladke manufacture karna band kr diya hai" I fake sighed and she laughed while throwing her head back like a pure Dayan.
"True" she wiped her tears because of excess laughing and sighed while resting her head on the headrest of the couch and I joined her.
"By the way who was that handsome hunk with you who dropped us here and declined my hand like an infection " she asked referring towards Abhi Bhai. I chuckled at her infection comment.
"He is Viraaj's Best friend from childhood, Ruhi told me." I told her who made and ohh face and nodded her head
"Good" she said and looked towards the ceiling for a moment before closing her eyes. I also closed my eyes and don't know when we both slept in the same position.
........
"Come on, broo. Jaldi kar" Siya yelled from the downstairs for I don't know how many times.
"Coming" I yelled back and for the last time checked myself in the mirror before leaving the room.
I wore a simple off white bodycon dress with puffed sleeves and tied my hairs in a bun with some makeup.
"That's what he said" she winked at me and it took me some time to register what she said and I laughed when I realised she commented on my 'coming' one.
"You nasty girl" I shook my head and reached downstairs.
"Looking sexy, babe" she complimented me and made winked at me
She wore a simple black bodycon dress, she has that ability in her that she can pull any simple dress make look fabulous on her. Her hair were left open but half of them were secured by a bow clip and completing the look.
"Uh-huh, sexy legs" I smirked at her and she laughed at it. We both left for a famous night club in her car, Audi A8 L.
After a while we parked our car by the road and got off the car.
"Let's enjoy" she exclaimed and winked in my direction before we both moved towards the entrance.
We both reached near the entrance and saw crowd covering someone and we can hear shouting and everyone in the crowd was recording whatever was going on there.
We both looked at each other before moving towards the crowd and my eyes widened when I saw who was fighting.
I reached near the person after crossing the crowd with siya on my tail. I kept my hand on this shoulder before calling out its name.
"Vihaan"
