Couple Test - Arranged Love (Under Editing)

Dil mera churaya kyun

He was making her do things she never bothered about. She couldn't doubt the man anymore. Her father and brother wouldn't have spared the man had she spend the night with another guy in the same room. They trusted him. They had not questioned her, not once about him or even when the time he took her out.

"What are you thinking about ?" He asked seeing her not eating the food she was so excited about.

"Nothing" she stammered and continued with the food. She loved the food without a doubt but he wasn't allowing her to eat. He was invading her thoughts all the time. She dropped the spoon on the plate making a noise.

He looked at her wondering what happened now

"Drop me home" she said feeling tensed.

"What happened? You look troubled" he asked.

"I need space Avinash" she said firmly.

He ran his hand through his neatly set hair and wiped his mouth with the napkin.

"Let's leave" he said without questioning her any further. Irritated was an understatement. He couldn't bear to sit with her any moment knowing his patience was wearing off.

"Your food ?" she asked. She could see the change in tone. His expressions were new to her. The man standing before her was different. His ears were red and his eyes were unusually dark. She took that as a sign and did as she was told.

None of them spoke after. His car managed to go past all the nasty Colaba traffic pretty quickly. She held on to the seat belt dearly. And they had reached her house in no time.

"Bye" she said.

He did not fail to notice the tremor in her voice. She was testing his patience and he was failing badly but he had enough. He wasn't going to be pulled and pushed like a freaking puppet. Without saying a word,  he started the car after she had gotten out of the car.

He had scared her. She was afraid of rash driving and he drove like a maniac. Her voice was struck in her throat when she wanted him to slow down. His eyes were furious. She knew she was unreasonable. She had asked him to drop her off at the middle of their lunch without even waiting for their lunch to finish. She had behaved pathetically. She couldn't blame it on anyone but her.

She entered her house and it was nothing short of a fish market. So many decorators and in the middle stood her mother, ordering everybody around her.

"Mom" Aadhya called.

"You are back so early from lunch ? I thought you and Avinash weren't going to be available till late this evening" she asked still checking at something.

"Well I am here now" she managed her mom's peering glance she thought with her reply.

"Good. Nandas and a few other families are coming here this evening" her mother said.

"What ?" She screamed.

"Help me Aadhya. I have work here" she replied cooly and went about her work.

She was right indeed. Holi was going to be celebrated grandly this time around. She thought about her parents intentions but she had to let it go only because she had to address the bigger elephant in her head. All she had to do was doll herself up. Well that was easy she thought.

She stepped foot in to the room and gasped at the sight of her bed. Her mother had it planned. She was stunned looking at the dress. She did not want the dress to be a distraction. But wait why did a dress fancy her thoughts like that. She felt like dressing up suddenly. She never was keen to attend such functions but today she wanted to and the reason was "Avinash". She smiled like an idiot at the mere thought of his name.

He stormed in to the house pissed off. He had delayed a whole lot of meetings. Plus there was a stupid holi party to attend and he had no clue where. None of his family members revealed anything. They had simple asked him to attend and no further questions was the answer he got in return.

"Fuck the bloody party" he cursed aloud.

He saw his mother coming his way. He did not want to see her. He did not want her to be at the receiving end. If there was one person who had to face the brunt of his foul mood. It had to be "Aadhya".

"Avi, what happened ?" She asked stroking his cheek.

"Next time think before asking me to show my true self to another person" he spat out.

She knew it was trouble in the paradise. Holika dahan at the Chopras is a compulsory one then. She smiled at his state and walked back without revealing the details of the evening.
