JANHVI'S POV
I am here, after two years of my post graduation and I was welcomed with a breaking news.
That I will be married soon.
I have no intention of marrying anyone.
Not that I am in love or something but I have plans for my future. Getting a job, creating an identity, other than as someone's sister which is so damn hard because I am India's Cricket
G. O. A. T's sister. Yeah. That's right.
I am Virat Kohli's sister.
And guess who my family want me to get married to? Shreyas Iyer.
A good cricketer but also a notorious playboy.
Mom: He is going to be here soon. Get ready!
And she closed the door even before I had chance to respond.
Like why would they even want me to marry him? Don't they know his reputation?
And does Bhai even know about this little stunt? Because I am sure he won't agree to this.
Mom: He is here
My dad said while he knocked the door.
Great. I am still in my pj's.
I should get ready.
Wait. Hold on.
Haha! Why should I even get ready?
He might actually back down if I do this.
Now, that's a plan.
I went down to look at him pretty dolled up.
Wait. Can I use that for guys?
Yes. That's exactly what I should be thinking about right now 🤦🏻♀️
Mom: She is a doctor. She came home late. So, she slept in.
My pyaari mom covered.
Shreyas: Ofcourse. Can I speak to her alone?
That was a little awkward.
Not going to lie.
Shreyas: I don't want to get married and I think you don't too, looking at what you wore.
Me: What are you? A fashion police?
Shreyas: Look. I really don't have time for this.
Me: Ofcourse you don't
Shreyas: What does that mean?
Me: Nothing. So, you don't want to get married. Why are you still here?
Shreyas: I can't do that.
Me: Why?
Shreyas: That's personal.
Me: So you want me to reject?
Shreyas: Yes.
Me: Oh my god. Won't your giant ego get hurt if a woman rejects you?
He just looked at me and I knew he was being damn serious.
So, what? I can just say no?
Does he even know it's been ages since they asked me get married?
5 years. 5 damn long years.
Me: I can't reject too.
Shreyas: Look you have too.
Me: I can't.
And after standing for five minutes, an amazing idea planted itself in my mind.
Me: Does your family force you to get married always?
Shreyas: You are sounding like a matrimonial commercial.
Me: Ugh! Forget it.
Shreyas: Sorry sorry. Yes. They do. Go on.
Me: let's get married.
Shreyas: That will kind of defeat this whole no marriage and not ready yet thing. Don't you think so?
Me: We know we don't want to get married. We will set our boundaries. We will respect eachother's space.
Shreyas: And we will get divorced soon.
Like in a year.
Me: Exactly.
And that was that.
When my family heard me saying, yes, they literally went mad.
Specially mom.
And now they are nervous.
Guess why.
Because it's about time that they tell this to my brother.
Bhai: YOU DID WHAT?
Looking at Virat Kohli, being aggressive, off ground is super rare but when it happens, you don't want to be anywhere near. This, I swear.
