Rehaan's p.o.v:

Rehaan i want to marry you. Tears were rolling down her cheecks.

She was drunk..! I told myself...

'So what..? drunk people speak the truth' my subconscious opinioned.

What was that i saw in her eyes..?!

Sympathy....?! Nah..!

Admiration...?!

God why was she crying..?!

Its 2pm on  Saturday and i am trying to get kritika off my head. This girl whatever she does leaves a impression. Ringing bell brought me out of my thoughts.

"Rehaan...." And there i was engulfed into a hug by Shrey.

"Geez dude you stink! Get off me" i shrugged.

" Thats not the way to welcome a friend Rey" he said moving his head.

"Shrey why did you come back..?! I just kicked you out today morning." I said.

"Dude...! Veronica she found me and then we went for shopping. Dude i tell you this girl will be the death of me one day for sure!!" He said as usually exaggerating.

" oh..! Am  i so irritating baby..." Veronica asked in overly sweet voice coming into my apartment.

"No baby!" He said going all pale.

"Oh... Then I heard something about death of you...?" She said closing the door.

" no baby i'm telling him how miserable my life would be without you.." He covered up but  failed miserably Veronica was smart enough.

"But i heard something different...." She raised an eyebrow at him. And there he goes pale again. This time i couldn't control and burst out laughing soon Veronica also joined me. Shrey and Veronica were together for a very long time like nearly 5years i guess. Veronica was a very independent girl. She is also very stubborn and hard headed person and she clearly is the boss of their relationship not that i have any problem.

I met her through shrey ... Though i didnt like her at first later she grew on me. Now we were good friends, friends who have each others back.

" Rehaan! Its been long time" she says giving me a small hug.

"Ya..! Its been a while. " i said getting a chair from the dinning hall as couch was occupied by them.

"Want something to drink..?!" I asked casually.

"Nah..! We are fine." She answered for both. Suddenly Shrey's phone started ringing. He frowned  looking at the screen.

" Baby... Its an important call from office i will take this and be right back."he said as he excused himself. She just smiled at him.

" So...Rehaan... I came to know you went on a blind date..?"she started.

" Ya.. Kind of" i shrugged

"So.... How did it go....?"she inquired.
Women i tell you. I just smiled at her.

"May be you will attend my wedding very soon" i joked,which could be absolutely true if hell Grace's on me. I never thought she would be okay with 'A marriage without love' her eyes while i told about Nitya were screaming at me that she would never agree but what happened in just couple of hours She really wanna get married? Or was it alcohol..? Definitely alcohol. Taking a heavy sigh i decided to meet Kritika again.

"What .....you didn't tell me you are getting married?" Shrey mocked a hurt expression.

"Save the drama dude! Nothing is yet decided" i said. "You guys staying for lunch...?"

"Nope. Sorry. Someother day Today i have a photo shoot. I have to go.." She said checking her watch. "Just came to say quick Hie" she said smiling at me.

"Baby pick me up after my shoot,i will message you the time...Bye" she said kissing Shrey.

"Sure. Drive safely. Love you" he replied.

"Love you too. All the best Rehaan. Just remember someone accept you as you are rare ... Never loose such people." She said as she exited my apartment. Okay....! That was Veronica for you, she sometimes say things way too philosophical. She is a model, a blogger and a column writer in a very reputed Newspaper. I sometimes wonder how did she fall for Shrey...? But as they say love doesn't see any logic it just happens.

" Dude...! What are you thinking..?"he asked flipping channels in the t.v.

" i am thinking how the hell did she fall for you and apparently bear you for 5 years..."

"Talent ....dude. Talent" he said.

"Talent...?!" I laughed so hard.

" may be i am too good in bed." He said throwing me a wink.

Sick " i have more important things to do in my life than discuss my best friends sex life" that too with a hot girlfriend.

Suddenly my phone buzzed

Kritika was already waiting for me when i reached vanç drinking her cappuccino " Sorry. I was stuck in the traffic. Have you been waiting for long...?"

I asked.

"Nopee. I just came..." She said glancing at her imaginary wrist watch " 10 minutes back.and sorry the smell was demanding" She smiled indicating her cup.

"Coffee..?!" She asked. I just noded.

"excuse me.... One...,what would you like..?"

"Espresso for me" i said.

We were sitting in comfortable silence.

" so... How was your weekend so far...?" I asked just to start a conversation about friday .

" If you are referring to my Fridays act than let me tell you i rarely get drunk." She remarked.

"Friday... That was memorable" i said remembering how kritika stood on the table and was shouting my name Rehaan Rehaan. That was comic to watch.

"I remember bits of it." She said measuring the bits of her memory with her fingers.

"Oh... So do you remember how you sang your heart out...? Or do you remember giving sex advices to random people...? Or do you remember how you told off the guys that approched you..? Or do you remember telling everyone loud that you are 24 and you're still virgin..?" I asked just to tease her a bit though she didnt do any such thing.

"Did i do all that...?" She asked visually scared,surprised,embarrassed what not.

By the time she understood i was pranking her ,i was laughing hard...

"That was so mean Rehaan" she said faking a angry glare and later she also gave in and cracked a smile.

After few minutes of silence she said " But i do remember telling you that i wanted to marry you"

Finally.

"Its okay i understand you were drunk basically out of senses so dont worry..i wont consider at as your reply " I said.

She raised her perfectly shaped eyebrows.

" I really want to marry you,Rehaan." She said noticing me.

To say i was taken aback was understatement. I thought she asked us to meet so that she would say how out of senses she was to agree to step into marriage without love.

"Wh...what..?" I asked my  voice stammering a bit, but i managed it to keep it steady.

"I want to marry you,Rehaan savant"she said every word settling hard in my brain. I thought she would say No and i could push my mom to trail off about wedding for atleast six months.

"Are you sure...?!" I asked though i could feel the confidence ,confirmation in her voice.
