I started getting ready, with thoughts of Aadhvik's message in my mind .His memories haunts me throughout . With all the rouge , eyeliner , mascara and lipstick . The worst part is the combination of Eyebrow pomade and spoolie brush ( makeup tools ) I get them in complete flaw. I wore this dark satin blue fabric shirt and paired up with white solid mid-rise formal trousers .With all my hair tossed into a perfect bun, not leaving any hair strands to fall on my face. I always step into my stiletto pumps(high heel) as they are considered the luckiest pair, I own . Finally , I am done . I went down asked mom and didi who were quite busy summing up things for Friday . Ma and di ," Do I look fine ?". They saw each other and started laughing . Ma, not now . I am feeling embarrassed , tell me if my clothes are fine . Beta, you are not going on an official conference , aren't you? You are going to meet your fiancé .You need to add extra charm by befitting some nice clothes for a date . There Riya didi pops in , Aakridhi I have something that fits you .Come with me. Went all the way upstairs . She took this cut off shoulder box pleat dress "Smokin red" short gown . This is my lucky dress , I wore them for my first date *chuckles . I gave her the whoff sigh. I quickly changed to this but stood adamantly at this point of wearing the same stiletto . I heard ma , calling our names. We both rushed down . But I slowed a bit, trying to give the shy look as I heard Arjun's voice down. He stood immediately after having my sight . I went close and said a warm Hello . Aakridhi you look seeee...sweet !.He said them in a low tone but sweet was indeed loud . Both mom and didi acted as if they heard nothing but I could easily make out with their wide smile that they did hear everything. Then we left past saying I would be back around at 9.pm. He opened the door for me until I had my seat inside the car . These ways of men are always admirable. He then started with this phrase which caught me cold. "Aakridhi, I actually wanted to say that u look seductive in this dress but pronounced it as sweet ". I looked down with extreme shyness that he would be able to sense with my pink pink blush skin colour on my cheeks .We then reached the bristo. All remained good , I received my phone from Arjun . As you guys know ,I opened message box to check what Aadhvik had sent .With big expectations in my mind , I did open the message . Any guesses on what the message was about ? Here you go....
<"Enjoy Super Friday with KFC's burger,Save 45% for 11 pcs only Rs.499. Order now!
- Aadhvik.>
Did I build up such expectations and eagerness to know what the message was about and it all did end in vain ? He remains to be the same right from the college days . But I saw clue prevailing in the message above "Enjoy Super FRIDAY ". Friday , is my engagement . This message got my facial expression a little sulky. Aakridhi, are you comfortable ? This time he asked me holding onto one of my hand I had it on the table. Again my nerves started producing nervousness . With all my cute face , smiling wide I look up to Arjun who was sitting straight opposite to me . This time my eyeball moved to the adjacent table where I could see one familiar face waving hand up in the air to me . That familiar face was none other than Aadhvik. There a message arrives with this note :
"Hey beautiful , you look ravishing. I want our first date to be like pi-irrational and never ending. Between, Leela gave me the location of your presence today with MR.ARJUN BIJROY , your Fiancé. "
End... that's it. He knows I am a low grade student in mathematics . why does he even say a pickup line in mathematical relation? and what does' our first date' mean anyways ? Excuse me ,madam. Excuse me, madam .. I heard them for almost the fifth time. But where am I hearing them from ?
June 6, 2014.
"Excuse me?". Leela and myself exchanged glances of fear and turned facing them . Both of you, are you guys freshers ? we quickly answered , yes. Did you attend the orientation ? Yeah we did. We gave answers straight to their questions without any hesitation. Did you both hear a girl talking in the mike about the group of boys who came in ?What did she say ? Leela with no proper sense of present , started telling him what that girl I mean she said in the mike ! "Did they just barge in giving the so-called 'Hero entry' breaking the latches of the doors?" and when she was about to say the next phrase "Fuc I stopped her there . That's all we heard . Great , I will give you both exact solid two (2) days time to find that girl . I need you both to bring her to me before the end of the 2nd day. I am Aadhvik ,doing my B.COM . and Hello, just 2 days .. Bring her if not, you will face the pain. we nodded and left. On my way back , I stood with my hands folded and gave the anger stare at Leela. Are you reciting rhymes or what ? How stupid of you to tell the exact statement you said in the mike to him with no faults ? What if he did find that you are the girl he is searching for ? You would have landed with red lashes on your face ? . Chill , Aakridhi . I am so sorry yaar. I didn't notice what I was blabbering to him !. Dude you weren't blabbering , you sounded perfect . Lol, okay . I am sorry . Come lets hurry up to class . We need to search the mystery rooms !
Arjun snapped his fingers right before my face, "Aakridhi , are you alright ?". Blank for a min and retrieved again. 'Am sorry , Arjun. I was thinking about the board conference tomorrow at office'. That conference never existed even. Every minute Aadhvik's trail of memory beholds my entire thoughts. This shouldn't be happening around when my engagement is on Friday . I need to make an end to his vicious behaviour . Anger drew forward making me to look where Aadhvik was seated .
