11) Do you own a gun?

Another double update?

*gasp gasp*

This is a small gift from my side because you guys are literal angels sent from heaven and deal with my tardiness like saints. 🥹

I can't stress how much I love you guys.

Hope you enjoy reading :)

Kiara's POV

"D-do you, by any chance, own a gun?" I asked Maahi hesitantly, shifting uncomfortably in my seat and dreading her answer.

We were sitting in the cafeteria during lunch time. While Saumya was doing her homework, Nandini was clicking selfies and Maahi was as usual busy on her phone. As for me, I was fidgeting with my sandwich. I had lost my appetite though I am a big foodie.

She looked at me weirdly and made a face, "Why?"

Nothing just making sure you won't blow my head with it when I break the news to you.

"Just curious." I squeaked out, wiping the sweat beads on my forehead with the back of my hand. She still looked unconvinced but much to my relief, shook her head. I exhaled a sigh of relief. I wondered what her reaction would be. Either she would stab me with her fork or die gushing over Arjun and me.

"Umm.... So.." I cleared my throat and everyone at the table looked at me, while Maahi was still tapping on her phone.

Cue the dramatic pause here.

"I wanted to tell you guys something." I announced in a calm tone despite being a nervous wreck from inside.

Everyone gazed at me expectantly.

"I am ge-" I was cut off by a loud squeal that erupted from Maahi's mouth as she showed her phone to us.

"Fuck! Oh my gosh. Can you believe this? Harry won the award for the best international male artist! Isn't it awesome?"

Nandini rolled her eyes, muttering something along the line, "You and your Harry!", making a sour face. We were pretty much accustomed to her 'Harry fits' (as I call them) at random times.

After 2 minutes of gushing over him, she exhaled and calmed down, still wearing that creepy smile on her face which resembles the one that a pedophile gives to a 6 year old kid.

Saumya glanced at me. "You were saying something, Kia?"

Again, all the heads turned to me and my heart started pumping vigorously in my chest. My hands were ice cold due to the nervousness. The thing is, in situations like these when I am nervous or excited, my hands and feet turn cold.

I didn't know how to do this.

Just get over with it.

"I was saying th-"

"Holy motherfucking shit! He is looking so freaking hot." Maahi exclaimed with a face splitting grin, effectively cutting me off. Again.

I had a sudden urge to choke her by shoving the apple down her throat that she was eating but I refrained and gritted my teeth. Usually, I am not this violent but recently I am losing my cool at every trivial matter.

"Damn! Look at his suit. Oh god, I can't handle this much hotness. Jesus! Someone help me." Maahi groaned with a dreamy look in her eyes and that was enough to break the last thread of patience in me as I snapped.

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP FOR A SECOND AND LISTEN TO ME?" I screamed at the top of my lungs as Maahi almost dropped her phone and gawked at me wide-eyed. Everyone on the table became quiet and stared at me dumbly.

"Thanks." I spoke through gritted teeth, giving them a tight-lipped smile.

"Before I was interrupted twice," I glared at Maahi, who gulped harshly and continued "I was saying that..."

"Iamgettingmarried." I rushed out in a single breath while everyone looked confused.

"Huh? What did you say?" Maahi asked. "Do one thing. Repeat it again and try to apply some gap between words this time." She told me, her voice laced with sarcasm while I continued glaring at her.

"I am getting married." I repeated again but slowly this time, expecting to see my friends' gobsmacked expressions but all I got in return were blank faces. Completely blank.

Okay, I wasn't expecting this.

"In your dreams?" Nandini sneered and everyone chuckled while my face turned beetroot in colour as I recalled one of my strange dreams that I had told these idiots. In one of my oh-so-great dreams, my handsome groom was swapped by a lean, ugly guy at the last moment and I ran after him with a baseball bat in my hands in my wedding dress.

It isn't my fault that I have such weird dreams. Right?

"No guys, it's true. I swear I am not joking. And it's definitely not a dream." As soon as I said this in a serious tone, all the faces on the table turned serious. Even Maahi. Though she looked quite hilarious with that face.

"And that's not it." I whispered in a small voice but they heard it anyway. "I am getting married to Arjun Singhania. "

"WHAT!!??" Maahi and Saumya yelled at the same time, horrified. Nandini choked on her drink and spat it on Maahi's face who was sitting in front of her across the table and then squeaked out a 'what'. Maahi let out a loud screech like an owl as she jumped from her seat as if it was on fire and ran to find a tissue to wipe her face, all the way screaming as if she had seen a ghost. The whole cafeteria was watching us like we were some sort of entertainment, and I must admit that we actually were.

A crazy fangirl, a devil with the face of an angel, an innocent animal lover, and a hopelessly cliche girl make a good team! And I'll leave it to you to guess who's who.

"Wait, wait, wait." Saumya interrupted,"You mean to say that you are going to marry Arjun Singhania."

I simply nodded my head. They knew about my encounter with that devil, thanks to Maahi, who couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"As in the Arjun Singhania- the famous businessman?" She asked again to confirm whether she heard it right or not. Why was it so hard for people to believe?

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE, KIA?" Maahi yelled like a psychopath, running towards me and waving her hands exaggeratedly.

Yup, I was talking about this kind of reaction.

She smacked Nandini on her head who was still suffering from her coughing fit, and then settled on her seat with a grumpy face.

"Bitch, tell me everything!" Maahi squealed.

"What the fuck did you do so that Arjun agreed to marry you?" Nandini exclaimed like she couldn't believe it, rubbing a hand over her chest and coughing lightly.

"I don't know." I answered helplessly as they looked at me in confusion. I sighed and recited the whole story again. I swear I had learnt this story by heart till now.

By the end, their mouths were hanging open and their eyes were ready to roll out of their sockets any time.

"OH. MY. GOD!" Saumya screeched.

"I get it." Maahi said all of a sudden with an expression on her face that I knew too well. Time to prepare myself for her long, shitty nonsense, which she prefers to call quote unquote 'her logic'.

Someone kill me.

She leant forward on the table and started, "I'll tell you what exactly happened. When Mr. Arrogant CEO aka Arjun sees our good girl aka Kia for the first time, he falls head over heels for her because he finds her different and interesting. Obviously, the good girl is oblivious to the fact and hates him with her guts. Then, they meet at a club where a drunkard tries to make a move on our good girl and gets punched by Mr. Arrogant for touching what's 'his'," she said air quoting the word 'his' and continued "our good girl gets angry on Mr. Arrogant for recklessly punching a guy because she thinks she can handle such matters on her own and rushes out of the club. Mr. Arrogant follows her and they again get into a fight. All of a sudden, Mr. Arrogant pulls our good girl in a kiss as a punishment. The good girl resists at first but later gives up and kisses him passionately because let's face the reality that he is so goddamn hot and irresistible. And then BAM-" she widened her eyes and clapped her hands excitedly, "they bang each other, our good girl gets pregnant and she does not have any other option to marry Mr. Arrogant. As simple as that." She finished in a single breath, her face red due to the rant she just went on. Leaning back, she crossed her legs and tossed a fry in her mouth with no care in the world.

WHAT!?

I was dumb-founded.

"Gosh! I didn't know I am such a genius." She rambled, fanning herself with her hands. "But Kia, I didn't expect this from you." She gave me a disapproving look. "I mean you are a biology student, you should have at least used protection."

Oh god! Maahi and her wild imagination.

"I don't have any problem in being the godmother of your children. Plus babies are damn cute. And let's face it bitches, that I am going to be the coolest, sexiest godmother ever."

"Maah-"

"But you are only 20 and still in college. How are you going to handle all this?"

"But-"

"Obviously, Mr. Arrogant will be with you in this phase. "

I face palmed myself.

"I mean he has to be. But still it's too early. What would the people think?" She asked, worried but then her face held steel like determination as she gazed at me, "But you know what, fuck this society, fuck everyone! Their opinion doesn't matter as long as you are happy." She continued to blabber as I rolled my eyes. Nandini snorted as she ate her sandwich while Saumya was hanging on Maahi's every word as if her life depended on it.

Morons.

"And you kn-" I slapped a hand on her mouth, clamping it shut.

"That did not happen!" I hissed and removed my hand from her mouth whereas she pouted, sad because her theory went wrong.

"He isn't head over heels for me. We didn't meet in a club. We didn't kiss. And more importantly, I AM NOT PREGNANT!" I huffed.

"But that was a nice theory." Maahi grumbled but stopped when she saw my face.

"And you're definitely not going to be the godmother of my children!" I added as an afterthought. What? Do you have any idea what kind of a godmother she would be? No! I would have to sprinkle my children's ears with holy water daily if they got to hear any of her perverted thoughts about Harry Styles. Moreover, she is reckless. I think Anushka is more suited for this title. I admit she behaves childishly sometimes but she is quite mature whereas Maahi... And I have no personal idea why the hell I am thinking about choosing the perfect godmother for my children. Let me rephrase that - for Arjun's and my children.

Hell man!

"That's not fair." She whined like a small child.

"Just shut up." Nandini said, irritated. "I think it's more like a deal. Like your parents have set your wedding with him and when you people are old and mature enough, you will tie the knot, right Kia?" She asked.

"Um..." I chuckled nervously. "Actually, my engagement is in a week. "

"WHAT!?" They again yelled at the same time, giving me a sense of Deja Vu as Nandini again choked on her drink but this time I placed her palm over her mouth. Thank god! If this had happened again, Maahi would have beheaded Nandini.

"What do you mean you're getting engaged next week?"

"Kia? Are you sure about this?" Saumya looked really worried.

I sighed. "Yes." Reciting the same lines I had earlier told Anushka, I tried my best to assure them that everything was fine.

"Goddammit!" Maahi growled until she ran out of curses. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Oh god." Maahi panicked and started pacing around the table. "I don't have any new dresses, nor do I have booked any parlour. What am I going to do now? My hair also need a haircut. Crap. I need to look good for the engagement."

"Uh...I think it's my engagement?" I voiced my confusion, unsure.

"Of course, it is." She replied in a duh tone. "Being the godmother of your future children, I have some responsibilities. Moreover, I need to impress a hot guy."

I need new friends.

She was rummaging through her bag when a bulb look appeared on her face, her eyes becoming huge as she snapped her neck in my direction, the movement almost giving me a whiplash.

"Does he have a best friend?" She squealed, eagerly waiting for an answer.

"Who?"

"Zac Efron." She smiled sarcastically and then glared at me. " Arjun, of course. Who am I kidding? Obviously, he would have one. Every hot guy has a hot best friend. Holy hell." She packed her bag in a rush and then ran away while we remained sitting, confused as what had gotten into her.

"Where are you going?" Saumya yelled.

"Wedding preparations!" Maahi replied without bothering to look back.

We all looked at each other, when Maahi came back just to yell, "Don't forget, his best friend is mine!" She pointed her finger at us and then ran away again while the whole cafeteria watched her antics.

"Kiaaaa! Get ready. Fast." Tina rushed into my room. Putting hands over her knees and panting heavily, she glanced at me, looking as if she had run a marathon.

"Get up. Come on." She tried pulling my hand as I was sitting on my study table but failed miserably.

"What? But why?" I had just started studying for an upcoming test.

"We have to go to Arjun's house to meet his parents today."

And here we go with another chapter.

Next update will be coming soon!
