Prathap asked looking at her with drowsy eyes while Vikranth laughed."It is not that difficult to marry someone you don't know, Prathap." Vikranth confirmed while taking out his phone and called someone.Shrishti sighed sitting back but got startled with her phone ringing and found it is her Dad who finally decided to call her after being mad for the past one month."I need to leave guys. My Dad wants to meet me. Did you call someone to pick you guys?" she asked looking at Vikranth who gave a nod while still drinking another glass.

I am also a fan of hers and still feeling disappointed that she is no longer single along with others."

*Prathap Pov*I woke up hearing the doorbell and sat up realizing I must be sleeping until late if someone is ringing the bell.I searched for my phone to check the time but the battery is completely drained adding up to the torture of the shock I am feeling right now that I slept late.I rushed out of the bedroom and found the clock on the wall which made me frown as I am just half an hour late then why are they ringing the bell already."What is it?"
