Sorry for any typos! Welcome back!! Hope you enjoy reading!! ❤️❤️Arjun and Adi had already left the garden and were in the living roomI and Gautam walked and went to the living roomSuddenly Gautam clapped grabbing everyone's attentionAttention, please!! I'm going to announce some happy news!! He cheeredWhat the hell was he going to do?! That was exactly the reaction on my and Arjun's faceArjun and Ria love each other and want to get married!! He announced itWhat the hell?!! By this time my eyes were wide open and met with the horrid eyes of Arjun'sEveryone had the same reaction including the maids cleaning the tableOne of them dropped a plate in shock leading to a distractionThere were only two people who were chill about it Adi and GautamAh! I knew about it Adi cut it off again disappearing into his world of gamesI stared at Adi shockinglyWait?! How?! I never told anyone about it!! Did Praveen leak it?!I and Arjun liked each other?! which we ourselves didn't know till now wow!! What a joke?!!I was clapping mentally at what Gautam just saidI didn't expect Gautam to put me into trouble this wayI could see the way Arjun was glaring at GautamAnd that is when this happenedExcuse me! A familiar voice interruptedAnd to much shock, it was none other than Kajal!!What was she doing here??? I mean can anyone let me know what was happening?!!Arjun's face became even more horrified seeing Kajal thereArjun rushed towards Kajal and they both went out hurriedlyGautam was standing beside me calmly as if he had done nothing, fidgeting with his fingersWhy the hell is she here?! And what does it have to do with Arjun?! I thundered my questions at him all at onceThat's his girlfriend for past 8yrsOMG!! Seriously?! I mean I knew he had a girlfriend back then but didn't know it was Kajal! and I rather wouldn't even have expected the relationship to work this long!!!Don't be so shocked! They broke up multiple times between these 8yrs and she dated others too between those breakupsAs soon as our small chit-chat endedWe were soon surrounded by my parents and his parentsAfter 10 mins we were all in a room now, Arjun was still outside with Kajal and I had to deal with all of this alone!!How long has this been going on?? My mom asked sounding seriousMaa.. actually...Why didn't you tell me before I would have been so happy my mom said dreamily.Aunty and mom were already on the verge of calling a pandit and setting up the dates, they even started deciding what they were planning to wear on the weddingDad and Uncle were way too shocked at this disclosement, but I could still see a glint of happiness on dad's face thoughSo what should be done? Uncle asked looking at meBefore I could say anything Gautam ended up with an answer let's get them married what are you waiting for?!We agree to it but let's ask them onceThat is when the door flung open and Arjun and Kajal enteredHe made a shocked face hearing the statement his brother made and looked towards angry KajalMom dad I need a little time he tried explainingWhat time brother? You already confessed to her! Gautam said with a smirkArjun was glaring at him yet couldn't say anything since we were hereI interrupted sayingMom, we should leave I suggestedYes, I think it's getting late she said looking at the two brothersWe soon left the place in an awkward silenceArjun's POVKajal! It's not what you think!! Listen to me once I begged herWhat is left to listen anymore?! I have heard enoughI can prove it's all wrong, it's just some stupid prank by GautamOh please! Gautam is no longer a kid why would he joke about such stupid things that too in front of everyone!!Just give me one chance Kajal I'll prove it to youOK FINE!! But if you fail to prove I'm never seeing you again in my lifeFine, let's go upstairs and talk to them firstWe went upstairs, the voices were audible outside the door as wellI flung open the door on hearing what Gautam just said and my dad's reply to itMom dad I need a little time!! I tried explainingWhat time brother? You already confessed to her! Gautam said cheekilyI knew his intentions behind it he was trying to put me in trouble just for his own greedAfter all the entertainment which happened here I was mad at Ria I am sure she had a hand in thisI quickly texted a numberCall me immediately!!Soon she called meRia! By any chance if you have anything to do with this I swear I'm going to kill you!! Don't you mess with me!!She was never afraid of me of courseOh god! Seriously! Do you think that? I never really knew Gautam would do this!!I know you both are good friends so don't even try lyingI swear! Why would I?!! NoooBut is that actually your girlfriend?Yes I replied hesitantlyHmm she noddedBut let me warn you again, DO NOT MESS WITH ME!She didn't reply anythingI need a damn answer, Ria!Yes, she cut the call soon afterNow I clearly knew who was behind this it was GautamBy that time Kajal had already blocked me from everywhere and wouldn't even attend the office and I was frustratedOn the other hand, Ria and Gautam were happily working and eating all-dayI really wanted to get revenge on themAnd something stupid popped into my mindI went out of my cabin and went to the floor where Ria and Gautam satI saw that the seats were empty, looking at my clock I realized it was lunchtimeAnd went down to the canteen where I guessed they would be and there they were laughing and enjoying their food while me here was stuck with my angry girlfriend who did not bother for an explanationWe were already on the verge of breaking up for the 100th time and there they were these two chipmunks who were trying to sabotage my lifeHi I interrupted them and Ria's expression suddenly turned cold and started to avoid my gazeHi! Gautam waved with a smirkI was talking to Ria and tried ignoring him by saying thisOh, princess, don't you know I hate it when you spend more time with other men than me?! I made an innocent faceRia was now in shock at what I said and looked at me with wide opened eyesI could see the blood rushing to her cheeks in defense but of course, no matter how much she controlled it was still visibleShe didn't reply to me and walked away making me smirk at herI guess yesterday's call made her react this wayAfter so many days I was finally having the pleasure of teasing herI really loved the way she used to get annoyed when I used to tease herI was enjoying all of this and decided to continue with my mischievous actsJust then I saw Kajal standing there and inspecting things that happened carefullyUnknowingly Ria bumped into her and Kajal gave her a cold stare which made Ria walk away even fasterI somehow felt a little angry which resulted in my hands turning into fists since Ria had nothing to do with and she couldn't treat someone like that just because she was angry with meI walked towards Kajal but she left, without caring for an explanationWow! I messed up things by myselfWell, this was it guys!! Hope you liked sorry again for any typos!! 🥺🥺
