Someone Like You? Checked.
Your Dreams Are Mine Now? Checked.
Till My Last Breath? Checked.

As much as I hated reading this stuffs, Nandini loves it. And I rechecked all the novels on the bookshelf to see if I had left behind any of her favorite novels cause it's the only thing that's gonna keep her sane in this overly insane house. Her words not me.

I take a last looked around the guest room which I've cleaned up for Nandini, as I don't want the servants to do this stuff cause they don't know the basic stuff she would need like I do. Moreover, I loved doing this for her.
Sometimes, I wished her to be my own sibling rather than a cousin. Being the only child in both of our family sucks. We had always discussed everything that happened in our lives just like any other siblings would do but discussing thoughts over phone calls and living beside each other has a different feeling, isn't it?

Keeping my thoughts blocked, I make my way out of the room when I'm sure that there's everything that she would need.

"Ouch!!" I yelped as I collide with someone and I looked up to see those black eyes, that had always annoyed the hell out of me. Navin.

"Prena! It's so good to see you finally, where were you?" He smiled over-sweetly.

Oh, you know just the usual, planning to murder you but make it look like a suicide? My sarcastic conscience replied rolling her eyes.

"I was busy, Navin babu, cleaning the room for my cousin" I replied making a distance between us but it seems like he didn't get the message.

"Yeah, I remember bhabhi was talking about her, what was her name... Nandini, isn't it?" He tried to act like he didn't remember her name which I know he didn't.

"Pretty young lady she is, I bet how does that hoe looks?" He smiled wickedly scooting down to my eye level.
Oh he didn't just said that, asshole.

Navin is known for his fucker attitude. Fucking everyone despite of their age. He could be sleeping with a girl younger than his daughter or a woman older than his mom, he needs pleasure.
But unfortunately, he get his hands tied on my aunt, who loves him like there's no tommorow and that's the thing that keeps us shuts from saying anything about him which would hurt her. Moreover, she's a heart patient and pregnant with this asshole's child again.

But that doesn't mean that I'll let him go that easily who just spoke bad-mouthed about my sister.

"Listen here, you fuck-face. Touch her and you're going down, that's my sister you're talking about, I can tolerate your blabbing about your sex life but not my sister. I guess you remember what I did to you in our last meeting,right?" I threatened him looking him death in the eyes, challenging him to say another word.

He paled, stepping backed he made his way downstairs, not looking back at me for once.
Good.

"You know that was pretty hot?" a voice spoke behind me and I turned around with a grinned on my face.
Rithwik Dhanjani.

"I know right" I smiled widely as my best friend scooped me up in his arms for a hug. I hugged back with equal pressure.

"You're late" He put me down as I checked my watch.

"Oh hello?! You're wedding is in next month, if you remember? And I'm here cause you practically called me frequently during my meeting" he glared at me.

"So? You're my best friend and you have to be here for me, and who knows where I'll be after I married? Maybe we won't be in touch?" I fake cried in a melodramatic way.

"You won't change na?" He said amusingly.

"Koi shak?" (Any doubt?), I winked making my way downstairs, him walking beside me.

"Where's Nandu? When will she be here?" He asked looking around searching for someone.

"She'll be here soon, she'll called me to pick her up actually" I raised a eyebrow at him as he continued looking for that someone.

"Oh, it'll be good---" I interrupted him with another question,

"What're you looking for, Mr.Dhanjani?" I smirked. He tensed.
Gotcha!

"Just the interior it's so beautiful, isn't it?" He nervously smiled at me but he avoid meeting my eyes.

"Rithwik, tell me one thing" I put my hands on my hips making my face twist in a way so that I could meet up with his eyes.

"How long have you know me?" I asked with a smirked in which he paled.
Did he seriously thought, I won't notice?

"I like her but she seems oblivious to my hints,what should I do?" He finally revealed his thoughts out with a sad look. I pitied him.

"That's the girl you're practically ogling at, right?" I pointed out at a girl in a distance talking with grandma.

"Yeah, her name is Asha but she's spoiling my chances on her by crushing down my asha on her" he chuckled at which I laughed out.

"Did you approached her? Talk with her?" I chewed my nails looking at her way of talking with my grandma.

"I did but she's as usual oblivious at all this thing" he replied ripping his eyes off of her and look at me with a smiled.

"She'll come around and you don't---PRENA!" I looked around to see who called me and there she is. Asha.

"Umm,yes?" I blinked and looked aside to checked on Rithwik but he's already lost in ogling her.
Boy, there's practically a drool dripping on your shirt!.

"Hi, I'm Asha Negi and I'm your fourth cousin from your mom's side" she smiled extending her hand at me.
Fourth cousin? Like seriously, why didn't I know about her existing until now?

"I'm glad that you had the time to join my wedding and this is Rithwik,my best friend" I shake her extended hand and looked at Rithwik as he composes himself while wipping his drool off.
At least he noticed.

"Hey, it's nice meeting you and if I remember correctly you're the one who helped me with the shifting of boxes,right?" She points out while extending her hand again.

"The one and only" he flirts while kissing her extended hand making her blushed.
He can flirt.

"You guys carry on, I'll checked on my grandma" I left the spot, avoiding any unwanted cheesiness.

I make my way towards the couch where grandma is yelling the servants with the shifting of things. Before I could reached her my phone ringed. Nandini,shit!

"I'm on my way,just give me two minutes and I'll be there" I hurriedly replied making my way towards the entrance door.

"It's the universal lie that everyone said, which means you're still in the house, isn't it?" She said in a clipped tone.

"Yaar, sorry?" I apologised making my way back upstairs to take the car keys, "Just give me a few minutes, I'll be there soon" I said searching for the keys.
Damn, where did I kept those?

"It's fine, I've already asked for a Uber, you stay there and no need to rush" she chuckled making me sighed.
She knows me better.

"You better be here soon" I replied sitting on the bed.

"Yes,madam. Okay bye , I need to leave the Uber is here" she cut the call before I could say something.

She'll be here. My sister.
