Ruhaan's p.o.v
The next morning was very weird one for me. Rishika was visiting our place with Samaira which I didn't liked. Why she is so crazy about marriage?? Girls about her age have so many tensions about their family and career. But she...she is careless young woman who has no sense of humour. And also it not only her fault,but its also my family members who have participated in this ugly matter of Ruhaan-Rishika's wedding. Didn't they thought of my concern??

That's not the problem that I love Samaira so I can't marry Rishika. That's the problem that why didn't they thought of my future with her?

Whenever I think of my future, a blur image of me and Samaira always comes. I couldn't think anything after her. I can't see a dream in which she is not present.
I looked at the wall clock which was showing 10:45. Oh god!! Just fifteen mins left. No no!!

The sound of wheels touched my ears. I went to the verandah of my room and saw that a scooty was standing on the entrance gate,with two women wearing helmet on it.

I knew who were they. I made an unhappy face and went downstairs.

"Ruhaan!!! See who has visited us!! "  My father was extremely happy as the maids went outside to welcome them.

"I know Dad!!"

"Look at yourself!! What's this look Ruhaan?? Your are wearing that weird T-shirt and those loose pajamas. Go and change in something sophisticated." Dad was insulting my favourite clothes. They were too comfortable. Moreover, I don't have to change clothes for 'her'.

"Dad.....its completely OK.....I don't care!!!" I carelessly answered.

"Then go to hell!!" He screamed and went outside as I followed him.

There she was standing with a big smile on her face as if we met after a decade.

"Namastey uncle!!!(Hello uncle)" she greeted Dad.

"Hello beta!! How are you??"

"Fine!!"

Rishika bent down to touch Dad's feet but he stopped her." We,Rajasthanis never allow girls to touch feet!"  She smiled.

I moved my gaze at other side where she was standing quietly ,smiling at her friend. I smiled looking at her. She was in minimal makeup,only a baby pink shade  lipstick,but she was looking like a goddess, I swear. And on the other hand,Rishika was like a whole makeup box,with eyeshades, mascara,lipstick,blusher,eyeliner and the list never ends.

"Hey Ruhaan!!! Come son,and greet her. Why are you standing there quietly??" Dad pulled me towards her.
Rishika was blushing badly. I looked at Samaira as her smile disappeared seeing us so close.

"Hi Ruhaan!! So nice to see you!!" Rishi gave a quick hug. I gave a false smile .

"Why are you standing there ,girl?? Come here!!" Finally Dad's gaze went towards Samaira.

"Hi uncle!! So nice to meet you!!" She came forward.
She passed a smile to me which was giving many pains to my heart.

A too smiled back at her. Her face was looking to dull. 'You always look beautiful whenever you smile!' I thought.

We all went inside. The two girls settled on the sofa but I chose to stand aside. Dad sat on the opposite sofa facing them.

"So.....how your studies are going??" Dad asked.

"Just waiting for the results ,uncle!!" Samaira quickly answered. I think she was very serious in the matter of studies.

"What you two are expecting??" Dad again asked,as if he was an interviewer.

"My exams went good. I don't know what will happen..... but I blindly trust my hard work. But.... I don't believe my fate" Samaira looked at me after completing her sentence.

Dad smiled." And what about you Rishika??"

"Honestly..... I just want to obtain a degree. Nothing more than that. I mean I have no place for job or business in my mind. So I performed medium in examination and thus expecting not-so-good results!!"

As usual,expected. This girl has no interest in standing at her own feet and do something that will prove that nothing is impossible for girls. But she..... Marriage is like an aim for her. Staying at home and doing all household chores will be her job,and her children will be her salary. That's it. She never think more than this.
The made bring nice for them.

"Ruhaan!! Why are you standing?? Sit!!" Dad dragged me beside Rishi. She was unnecessarily blushing. Oh god!! Hell.

I sat beside her as Samaira shifted to another couch. That was expected.

She was quiet and dull. "Uncle!! Can I meet your other family members??" Samaira asked.

"Only we to live here dear!!" Dad answered as Samaira moved her brows upwards."what??"

"Yes....After his mother's death.....we started leaving alone. But no worries,Ruhaan's cousins sister is staying here these days. Come,I make you meet her!!" Dad said," And you two,go to Ruhaan's room and have a good time together!!"

I made an unhappy face. Samaira went upstairs but our eye contact never braked. 'We are separated. Yes,we are separated' our eyes mean it.

Rishika dragged me towards my room. Oh this girl is irritating me.

As soon as we entered,she closed the door and smiled at me. God...help me!!

"Finally!! We got some time alone..." She said while walking towards me." Your room is so big, I like it."

I smiled although it was fake.

"You know what, I will keep all my makeups and accessories there." She went towards my wardrobes" Ah....this one is mine. I think that you can give a wardrobe out of four!!"

I kept quiet.

"What happened Ruhaan??"

I came into the world." Nothing"

Actually all time I was imaging me and my Sam together, instead of her.

She made me sit on the sofa cum bed and sat facing me.

"OK.......now tell me that what's that feature that you like the most in me??"

I was dumb. What??? I dislike you from head to toe!!
Then I imagine Samaira in place of her. I swear,the imagination was too good.

I never asked myself what I like the most about her. I closed my eyes and in one breath I said " Your eyes!!"

Rishika's twinkled. She blushed a lot and it made me knew that I was just imaging Samaira.

The next half an hour she was just talking and talking. God!!

Then,for a minute, she stopped. She started staring at me.
"Do you know what I love about you??" She asked. I don't like such types of questions.

I have no interest in knowing it. But........ I waved my head in 'what'.

"Your......lips..." After saying this she came close to me. I first,didn't understand what was happening. She came really close to me and closed her eyes. What was happening??

She suddenly stopped after hearing a cratch sound. She turned to see what happen. I looked at the door and to my shock,Samaira was standing dumbfounded.

She was glaring at us,as if she has done a sin. "I'm so sorry.... I will come later... Sorry. I didn't knew that you are actually so busy!!" She said,pointing out me.

I immediately stood up and went to her," Samaira, you are taking us wrong. Its nothing ......."

"No its ok Ruhaan.... Its my fault." She exited the room with water in eyes.
