ADVAITA VERMA
"Advi, come, have your dinner!" Ma shouted from downstairs for the 5th time in the last 10 mins.
"Coming! Just 5 mins more!" I shouted back, fastly writing the integration formulas.
And then...
The door of my room opened with a thud!
"You still have 1 month for the entrance exams. Why are you stressing yourself this much?" she asked coming near me and patting my head.
"Ma, I really want to clear the entrance exams and get into that university" I replied, pouting.
"God! What did you do with my daughter huh? For the last 2 years, she is studying like Newton. Did an apple fall on her head too?" she said, sighing dramatically looking at the ceiling.
"Ma!" I whined and she laughed pulling my cheeks.
"OK, ok, finish your work fast and come downstairs for dinner" she said and closed the door behind her.
I sighed and stretched my hands.
Now, who will tell her that I am doing all this for her future son-in-law!
That person didn't even talk to me properly in the last 2 years other than something like...
"Angel, don't talk to that boy"
"Angel, don't eat too much sweet"
"Angel, don't watch too much TV"
"Angel, don't bite your nails"
"Angel, don't breathe!"
And blah blah blah...
Stupid! Jerk! Idiot! Arrogant! Rude! Argh!
Haww!!!
What am I saying! Shit!
No no he is my future husband.
He is the most caring person ever.
He is not at all rude.
He always talks sweetly with me.
Aur dhamki toh kabhi dete hi nahi hai...
Yeah, that's better!
...
1 month later...
"Dad, you check" I said jerking my face away from the computer screen because I don't have the heart to see it.
My palms are sweaty because of the nervousness.
"I am sorry, beta" dad said taking off his glasses and wiping his face.
I shut my eyes tightly and tears started pooling in my eyes.
2 years of hard work just went into...
Into...
Doraemon's pocket!
"I am sorry beta, you have to go away from us" he said and engulfed me in a tight hug. Mom too joined jumping like a high school girl.
My eyes were wide as saucers and it took me a minute to absorb what happened.
"AHHH...." I screamed at the top of my lungs and started jumping up and down.
Ma and dad closed their ears with their hands.
Did I get into his university?
Yayyy!!!
The wait is finally over my future husband.
I am coming, Maan...
ABHIMANYU DUTTA
I woke up and stretched my limbs.
After making the bed, I went and stood near the window of my hostel room.
The sighed when the cool and calming morning breeze touched my face.
After standing there for a few minutes my eyes went toward the calendar.
A smile crept on my face seeing today's date, for which I am waiting for months, or maybe years.
I quickly took a shower and changed into my sweat pants and t-shirt because today is no college.
I lay on my bed and called my brother.
"What's up! Big bro!" that monkey said as soon as he picked up the call.
"Really Veer? That's how you talk to your elder brother?" I said in an unpleasant tone.
"Bade bhaiya ji, aap kaise hai?" he again said sweetly. Mocking me.
Idiot!
I just rolled my eyes and dismissed that topic.
"So, how're your studies going on?" I asked
"Currently I am enjoying, Bhai" he said and I heard some shuffling.
He is again playing video games!
"Veer..." I started
"Bhai please my 10th board exams just got over please don't start with your "DON'T ENJOY JUST DIE STUDYING" speech" he pleaded.
Really? I am not that strict.
OR am I?
"Anything else?" he asked after a minute of silence.
"Umm...I heard today results of entrance exams also came" I said not trying to be obvious.
"So?" he asked.
"Umm...our neighbor's daughter also gave the exam, right?" I asked casually.
"Who?" he asked munching something.
"Umm...what's her name? I don't remember" I acted
"Geeta?" he said
"No" I replied
"Meeta?" he said
"No" I replied
"Sita?" he said
"No" I replied
He doesn't remember her name?
idiot!
"Reeta?" he asked
"Arre! Advaita!" this time I shouted in irritation.
"Oh...Advaita di" he said and I felt as if he was smirking.
That monkey!
He did this on purpose!
"Yeah yeah whatever" I still tried to cover up.
"Ask directly na Bhai, why beating around the bush?" he said teasingly.
"Shut up! And bye!" I said ending the call
Seems like I have to call mom.
"By the way, she got into your university!" he shouted and started laughing as soon as I was going to cut the call.
Idiot monkey!
I placed my hands under my head while lying on the bed.
I sighed with a smile looking at the ceiling.
I am waiting, angel...

AUTHOR'S POVHer eyelids flickered a little as a shadow block out the morning sunlight which was warming her eyelids with a soft red glow.A gentle breath gently caressed her baby soft cheeks which was of the man beside her.Strong muscular arms gently tucked themselves under her body as calloused fingers softly brushed back the tangle locks spread across her face which were disturbing his view of heaven."Good morning, love" his deep and grave morning voice whispered in her ear. His warm lips touching the nap of her neck sent shivers of pleasure down her spine.A soft moan escaped her although she tried her best to pretend that she was still asleep.She kept her eyes closed as he traveled down her neck, then her stomach, he lifted his shirt which she was wearing to her breast. His mouth moved across her breast, stomach, and thighs leaving a trail of kisses in the wake of his descent.Suddenly he stopped."Why did you stop?" she opened her eyes rather in irritation."I thought you are

He has been working in another department of the company till now."Sure.

Most shocked was Abhimanyu."Yami..." he tried touching her."Not now Mr. Abhimanyu Dutta. Let me speak today. After all, it's my 22nd birthday. Oops!

Their secret was out."Umm... let's start with my best friend, Aastha" she smiled and moved towards her.Aastha gulped seeing Yami approach her."Aastha, my best friend, and Laksh, may I know what's the procedure to change your names?

AUTHOR'S POV2 months later..."Yami, is Kapoor's contract ready?"

AUTHOR'S POVThere was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so, they sat in silence, on the swing in the backyard, with her head on his shoulder, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight."Do you really love me?" she finally spoke.He knew something like this will come, sooner or later."You know I love you, Yami" he sighed still not looking at her face."How much do you love me, Maan?" Once more she spoke and he looked at her in surprise."What did you call me?" he asked"Maan? I hope you don't mind. I just wanted to give you a nickname" she bit her lips."I like it" he gave her a small smile and caressed her cheek with his thumb and again stared at the moon."How much do you love me?" she again asked impatiently looking at his face when he didn't answer her the first time. Like any other girl, she was insecure too."What type of question is this, Yami? How much do I love you? Count the stars in the
