Couple Test - Arranged Love (Under Editing)

Ek hazaron mein meri behna hai

He was in Manhattan and the tall buildings reminded him about the work he needed to do and he really wanted to get back in a week. It was already Wednesday morning. He quickly got ready in his suit and drove to his office,

Her day was never ending . She suspected some virus in the air that was troubling the kids. Dealing with worrisome parents was something that took more energy than dealing with sick kids. Parents expected their kid to have an appetite as that of an elephant even when they were sick and on meds. Making them understand that kids were human beings too just like us adults when sick was tough. She walked to her room tired and knew she needed a shower. But only if her body was cooperating. She managed to drag herself to the bathroom and stood under the shower. The warm water trickled down her body relaxing her stressed nerves. She felt good at the end of her shower and applauded herself for dragging her body. She wore one of her comfortable shorts and tank top then hit the soft mattress and was out like a light.

She woke up late in the morning knowing very well that she had a few consultations lined up for the evening but otherwise she was free. Oh she loved days like these after a tiring day at work.

"What are you doing at home at this time of the day?" She asked Rohan grabbing an apple from the kitchen.

"Off day madam" he replied and lounged on the sofa. Her parents soon joined his brother and they started talking on random things.

Rohan had a sudden itch to irritate his sister. She was happily biting in to the apple and laughing away. He loved pulling her legs and this was the right time he thought.

"Behna" Rohan called

"I hate when you call me this way. Ask now ?" She said knowing her brother was throwing some nonsense at her.

"Any news from our CFO" he asked laughing out loudly.

She threw a cushion at him and looked at him accusingly.

"Replying to your question no we haven't talked" she said.

"Don't tell me you don't have his number Aadhya" he asked unbelievably.

She shrugged her shoulders and told her parents about her brother flirting with a nurse

"Yesterday the nurse's station was pretty colourful. All discussing about our talented gynae" she said and laughed at him.

"That's healthy flirting Aadhya and no hanky panky stuff. Plus it's Dr. Rohan Chopra's charm" he said lifting his imaginary collar.

"Now both of you shut up" their mother silenced them and switched on the TV.

Avinash Nanda flashed on screen in full glory. He looked the same as in real. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she really was seeing him on screen. He was wearing a dark blue suit and his stubble had pretty much grown in to a beard. His hair neatly set. That guy was good looking every single time making her heart beat go wild. He was being interviewed for something and from the interview it seemed like he was not in India.

Rohan was upset watching his sister's eyes glued to the TV. She definitely did not know about his whereabouts and did they not say they wanted to know about one another. What was the story here he wondered. He wanted to be sure that his sister wasn't saving the CFO's ass. She sure was not a person who go to protect someone after barely knowing someone but this was strange. She had blushed that day and nothing looked fishy. He saw the way they looked at one another, the way he rubbed her back when she choked on her food and their silent goodbyes. Rohan could irritate her all he wanted but no one gets to fool his sister . If anyone mattered the world to him that person had to be his sister. He looked at her again and once again he saw the red hue flashing on her cheeks. She wasn't a bimbo to fall for his charms. What did the guy say he thought and found nothing specific on TV, then was she being goofy about he wondered.

"Aadhya, you are blushing" he said as a statement but his demeanour had changed completely.

Her cheeks heated up more on being caught.

"Let's be serious here. You don't have his number, you had no clue that this guy had taken off and here you are blushing at nothing" he interrogated.

"It's all fine Rohan. Trust me" she said and meddled with her phone.

He pestered her again.

"It's nothing Rohan. You will know when everybody else knows. Now shoo" she shut him up and continued checking something on her phone.

Their parents asked him to keep quiet. They trusted their daughter. And they were confident that this son of Nanda wouldn't fool their daughter with his charms. The guy was a workaholic and no one could change that. Well they were surprised to see him on screen but nothing was out of place and so they let it be.

Aadhya was in another world. Checking her phone was just a pretence. She remembered telling him that she would find things about him on TV or internet only the things he wanted to show. She was smart enough to know that he wanted to convey that he wasn't in station when he made that statement

"Manhattan is an official visit and nothing more" she did see a small smile that lasted for a fraction of a second before he masked it with a straight face.

Her phone pinged just then and it was Rohan. She glared at him and opened his message. He had shared a contact. And it was his number. Avinash Nanda.
