"Hey.. Shreya I know you are going back to your hostel today and since you will pass my city, can we meet?", read the message on her mobile screen.

Reading the message, her stomach churned and she was super excited for the meeting.

She typed quickly,"Hey Raghav. I will love to spend some time with you but I need to ask my parents first.."

Shreya went to her parents room and asked politely,"Maa-Papa, Raghav as asked to meet me on my way to hostel today. Can I meet him?"

"Are you going to meet his family too?", her mother questioned her.

"Umm.. No, not the whole family.. Just Raghav, maybe at some restaurant.", she replied nervously.

"But beta your marriage has just been fixed with him. You can meet him in family gatherings or at home. What is the need to go and meet him alone..", her mother replied.

"But what is the harm in meeting the guy I am going to marry?", she asked not really understanding her point of view.

"In our society, a girl and a guy meeting alone, it is something that is not considered good. We don't want anyone saying foul words for our daughter.", her father spoke.

Her younger brother, Anuj, who had heard the entire conversation, intervened,"But don't you people think that time is changing now? And I am going to drop her to the hostel, so I will also be there with her when she will meet Jijaji.."

"Shreya won't meet Raghav today, and that is final.", their father said in a stern voice.

Dejected, Shreya went back to her room and texted Raghav that she won't be able to meet him.

Later in the car

"They can trust a complete stranger and fix my marriage with him but they won't trust him enough to let me go on a date with him,"she said to her brother.

She was fuming with anger and was taking out all her frustration on her brother. When they crossed the city of her fiancé, she felt really very upset, though she could not say anything to her parents.

"First they fix my marriage when my post graduation is still going on.. Then they don't allow me to meet him. I want to know him, about his likes and dislikes, his stories, before marrying him.",she said softly.

"Relax Dii.. You will know him sooner or later.", Anuj tried to calm her down.

"Where are you going? We are supposed to take that turn..", she said when Anuj kept going straight instead of taking a right turn.

"Dii.. Maybe that right turn won't take us to the right destination....", he replied with a wink.

"Anuj, what is cooking in that Good-For-Nothing-Brain of yours?", she said glaring at him.

"Dii, say one more word insulting me, and I promise you will regret it later..," he said smirking.

"What will you do my not-so-dear little brother?", she said sticking out her tongue.

"You will know yourself..", he said, haulting the car in front of a restaurant.

Seeing the restaurant, she looked at her brother and had just opened her mouth to question him when someone knocked at her window.

She looked back at the window and her mouth was left wide open.. Standing in front of the window, was her fiancé, Raghav, smiling widely.

She was so shocked that getting out of the car didn't cross her mind, even when Raghav was standing there, opening the car door, like a true gentleman. It was when Anuj nudged at her shoulder that she came back to her senses and stepped out.

"Hey.. You look beautiful..", he said and even that simple compliment from him, made her blush.

"My fabulous brain can give you perfect surprise sis..", Anuj said winking at her.

Seeing her expression, which was a mix of happiness and confusion, Anuj had a hearty laugh..

"I planned this 'secret' meeting with Raghav Jiju to give you a surprise Dii.. A secret between three of us. You both can spend time together and have fun. I'll be back after some time..", Anuj said.

Saying this, Anuj sat back in the car.

"And listen..", Anuj said again..

"Yes?", Raghav asked..

"Let Love spread its magic in the air..!", he winked and drove away, leaving Raghav and Shreya smiling and blushing.
