I was kind of scared with the looks Prena has been throwing at me as she paced around the room. By the looks on her face it seems like she's debating whether to let me know about the 'urgent' talked she told me about or not.
Geez! I didn't even got a chance to change my clothes.

"Will you tell me what's going on? Because I'm feeling really 'sweatily'  in this outfit", I said as I took a disgusted look on my outfit.
Trust me nothing's worse than clinging on to the clothes in which you have sweated like a pig.

"First of all, 'sweatily' is not even the correct word and Second, no! you can not just walked away when I'm talking with you", she said with her hands on her hips, still pacing around.

"All you have been doing here is pacing around the room and glaring at my head", I pointed out at her as she sighed and finally took a seat by the dresser stool.

"Look, just don't freak out what I'm going to say okay? Just hear my thoughts out", she asked like I'm a five year old kid.
Which you probably are. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts.

"Speak up", I told her and she nodded.

"Well, the moment you went away with Dev something happened back their in the meeting", Prena said nervously.
Is it necessary to bring that asshole's name in every topic?

"Don't tell me you guys are calling off the wedding", I said my eyes widened at that thought as she smacked my arm for my words.

"Stop being so pessimistic, Nandu", she snapped.

"So what's the matter then?", I asked again.

"Manikistakingmeouttomorrow", she breathe out making me raised my brow at her.

"What did you say?"

"I said, Manik is taking me out tomorrow", she bite her nails as I smiled at her.

"It's a DATE! That's just amazing!  What are we waiting for then? Let's see what are you going to wear tomorrow, and tell me EVERYTHING!", I squealed while tugged her towards the bed but she didn't bulged instead she stood there frozen.

"What happened?", I frowned. She gave me a tight smile letting me know.

"Wait, there's something more than this, isn't it?", I groaned out.

"Yes", she sighed.

"Go on", I said taking a seat on the bed comfortably.
After all it's going to be a long talk so why not take a comfortable spot?

"Remember the dance audition I gave, back at your place?", she asked as I nod,

"How can I not? You were jumping around like a freaking five years old kid for that silly audition and you basically ruined my couch too", I glared at the last part.

"The point is I got selected in that audition and they asked me to attend the interview that is in 1 week", she smiled turning towards the window.
Something's off.

"Prena? What is it?", I caught her arm before she's out of my arm distance and turned her around.

"I have to go for 2 weeks", she mumbled.

"So?", I asked letting my hand fall to my lap as she took a step back.

"You won't understand", she desperately said as she started to pace around the room. Again.

"You love Manik, right?", I cautiously asked trying to make sense of her sudden change of behaviour regarding the date.

"Of course I love him, what type of question is that?", she frowned.

"No, I mean the way you're saying about the date and the interview, it doesn't seems..", I drift away at the last second as she sighed.

"I know how stupid I sound but the thing is Aunt Neyonika wanted us to go out together before the wedding", she explained.

"That's a good point, right? At least you got a chance to know each other out beforehand", I rubbed my temple as she shook her head.

"She wanted us to go out for a vacation for about 2 weeks or so", she said again.

"And that 2 weeks falls under the same exact time that your interview is scheduled on", I completed for her as she nodded.

"And you want my help? And for what?", I asked again.

"Please don't be pissed at me", she sighed.
Okay, I regret asking that question.

"I can't face Manik tommorow because I want you to go in place of me for the date and for the vacation too", she spoke monotonously.

I gaped at her. Like the actual opened mouth fish looked. I know she was crazy but never knew that she was that crazy. Oh God, fuck my life.
Wait, he already did, my subconscious mind smirked.

"You can't just say that, Prena!", I screamed at her as she clasped my mouth with her hand muffling my voice.

"Stop scream-----Ouch!", she yelped as I bite at her hand.
Payback, bitch!

"Look, I know it's a sudden plan but you have to help me out here because as much as I wanted to spend time with him, I can't", she said clutching my hands.
So tight that it's kind of turning pale.

"He would recognized me instantly and moreover what would I say to him? 'Hey Manik! Prena couldn't make it so I guess we both gotta spend the day together'? Do you know how cheap your idea sounds?", I scowled at her as she pinched her nose which she often do when she needs to thinks.

"I know that he haven't seen your face yet, but it doesn't mind you would take advantage of this situation. And he would know that I'm not you. We are like total opposite and he definitely has the idea of how you look if not your face", I fumed at her idiotic talks as she started pacing the room for the hundredth times.

"SAY SOMETHING!", I yelled at her letting my anger showed.

"And I kind of accepted the offer already", she mumbled, slightly sobbing.

"You WHAT??!", I yelled looking at her as she flinched at my outburst.

"You know how important it is for me! I can't ditch it, you know that", she cried, trying to calmed me down.
Keyword: 'trying'.

"How can it be more important to you than your future husband,Prena?", I raised my hands up in the air in disbelief.

"Look, it's just for two weeks!! And it's not like he needs to know about this right?", she nervously said.

"Wait-what? Two weeks? You mean I have to go for the vacation too? And not only that we need to keep this bullshit a secret ?", I said wide-eyed. At which she clutched her hairs and screamed aloud.
Probably at her idiotic talks.

"You know if I told him about this stuff then he would called off the marriage, he's already wanted some time before he wants to settle down", she begged if that's the last thing she wanted to happened.

"Moreover I would let him know about this topic, myself right after you guys came back from the trip, I promise", she hugged me, crying.

I know I'm going to regret doing this but, she's my sister after all.
I hugged her back as I mumbled,

"Only for this time".

"Really?", she looked at me wide-eyed not believing my words.

"Yes", I sighed as she squealed hugging me tight. I'm regretting my decision now.

Or are you?, a tiny voice spoke inside me.

What the fuck was that?

"Thank you", Prena looked at me, smiling.

"But don't get mad if he falls for me", I joked as she chuckled.

"Of course not ", she sarcastically replied.
