Appreciate me, double update XD.

"Be ready in evening, we'll go out." A man in his late forties said.

"So, you're indirectly asking me on a date?" His wife asked him, he chuckled.

"You're my date for lifetime." She laughed.

"Okay, I'll be ready." She replied.

Their heads turned to the person descending stairs in hurry. Kartik's steps came to halt as he saw both of them.

He went towards dinning table and started drinking water through the bottle only.

"Good morning, Kartik. Ready for college?" She asked, no response.

"Here, take this juice." She again said, he put the water bottle down and started munching on sandwich, still standing.

"Congratulations, for wining match. We're really proud." His father glared at him, as he wasn't responding to his mother.

"Kartik, she's saying something, answer her." Manish said in a cold voice.

"And who is she?" Kartik said swallowing the previous sandwich and now grabbing the new one.

"She is your mo-

"No, she is your bloody wife. She has nothing to do with me."

"Kartik, mind your language." His father roared standing up.

"Or what?" He threw the sandwich on table he was eating, "You'll raise your voice, you'll slap me, not something you've haven't done already."

"Kartik-

His father called onto him but he was fast enough to exit the house.

Manish sighed and sat back on chair.

"What do I do with this boy?" He said helplessly.

"Let him be, its his age. Boys are usually like this at young age. He'll be okay by the time." Swarna assured him.

"Did you see how he talked with me, and you? He has lost his all senses."

"Thats why I always stopped you from raising your voice on him. Now, he doesn't fear anything."

"He has become so rebellious." He sighed.

"Kartik, how long?" Viyaan asked him. Kartik shrugged his shoulders.

"She must be in washroom, doing makeup, what else!" Kartik rolled his eyes at him.

"Whats with you both? There she doesn't stop complaining about you, and here you."

"Seriously, you can find a much better girl than her. She's so annoying." Viyaan said.

"Its been two weeks since I'm dating her, right? Uh, let it be two weeks more, then we'll find a new girl." Kartik said as it wasn't a big deal, Viyaan shook his head at him.

"Hey, sorry baby, I got caught up with some work." Liha said sitting beside Kartik.

"First time I'm seeing a 20 year old baby." Viyaan muttered.

"Shut your mouth." Liha said.

"Why don't you shut your mouth? This world will be at peace then."

"Stop, you both." Kartik said, annoyed.

"Um, baby, actually I want a favour from you." Liha said.

"What is it?" Kartik replied.

"You know Naira? She used to be my friend." Liha said, he shook his head, "The nerdy one." He clicked his tongue.

"I know her, she's in medical." Viyaan said.

"So?" Kartik asked.

"Actually, she did something I mean she looked down on me and I sort of can't bear it and she called me a slut." Liha said.

"No doubt, that you are." Viyaan said, she glared at him.

"Come to the point, Liha." Kartik said.

"I was thinking, if you can do something that will bring down her reputation, I mean a slutty reputation. Like if you can say one of your friends to date her and then bring down her reputation, tho she's a hard nut but I'm sure a charming boy can crack it." Liha said.

"Are you serious?" Kartik said in disbelief.

"But I want this, or maybe you can do it. Make her fall in love with you, and then dump her." Liha said.

"Do you think I'm that wasted to do this sort of thing?" Kartik said not liking what she just said.

"Ofcourse not, its just for sometime. No one can control themselves infront of your charms, I'm sure she'll give in." Liha said, but he kept quiet.

"Look, there she is." Liha pointed towards someone, he looked at the pointed direction.

He only saw her side profile, bangs falling over her forehead, wearing a cute peach wholesome shirt.

His eyes fell on her backpack, the same wholesome bag he saw the other day.

"Huh, Kartik Goenka, my foot. Self obsessed."

His lips curved into a smirk as he watched her with his dark eyes, "Alright, 15 days. She will fall in love with me."

Viyaan looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yay, thankyou so much. But just don't fall for her, she's pretty tho but you know its me always for you." Liha said.

Kartik's inner self rolled his eyes, as if I love you.

"Yeah, don't worry." He said.

"I've to go, see you." She left after pecking his cheeks.

"Kartik, are you serious? You know, right, you can't stoop this low, you can't do this." Viyaan said.

"C'mon, its just for fun."

"Kartik, I know her. She's a bright student with a good reputation and she's innocent." Viyaan said.

"Let me see her innocence, as well? Lets go for a nerd this time." He smirked.

"Kartik, this is wrong."

"Chill, I'm not gonna go that far. Just a fun thing. And don't worry, I won't do anything with her reputation, and do you really think anyone can fall in love in 15 days, rubbish!" Kartik scoffed, only if he knew what next 15 days had stored for him.

"But still be careful." Viyaan warned him.

"Naira, right? Now let me show you who Kartik Goenka is, and how self obsessed I can be."
