Monday, around 6 p.m.
A sweet couple was walking in the streets of Govindpura, holding each other.
The girl was wearing a cute pink one-piece, and she was looking adorable in her ponytail with an ice cream in one hand. The man walking with her was looking dashing in his sky blue shirt and shorts with blue googles.
The girl's head was leaning on the boy's shoulder. She had her left hand hooked in his elbow while her right hand was busy holding her strawberry ice cream. While the girl was busy enjoying her ice cream, the boy was busy enjoying her cute expressions.
The people walking near them can't help but gaze at this couple being so lovey-dovey on the street. They were looking too cute together!
After few minutes, the mysterious couple turned into a corner of a street and then suddenly disappeared somewhere.
After a while, in Varun's car.
"Are you sure he was there to witness us?" Somya asked with curiosity. She was still licking her ice cream while staring at him with wide eyes, waiting for his reply.
Varun felt like pinching her cheeks, but he stopped himself.
"Yes, I am sure he was there, and he even followed us," he stated cooly, making Somya frown while biting her last piece of ice cream, but she still decided to believe him.
What Somya doesn't know is that Varun's senses are much sharper than an average human. That's why he can easily tell without even looking back that Ansh had followed them all the way till the corner of the street.
Yes, they were the couple who were strolling in front of the Sundaram Complex earlier. This was their plan. They are going to make Ansh misunderstand her so that he would break off the marriage himself. They had named it 'Mission Bride Rescue.' This ridiculous name was obviously Somya's idea. It only took Varun an initiative for her to make Somya return to her bubbly personality.
What she actually needed was only a support to hold more than anything else. Otherwise she was the infamous 'Troublemaker' in his eyes and she was definitely worth the title. So who was capable enough to stop her if she wants to show a dog like Ansh his real place.
"Captain, what if we failed and the plan didn't work?" Somya asked suddenly while bringing her pinky to her mouth and biting it, her habit when she feels anxious about something.
Varun thought for some time before answering, "Then we would go for bride kidnapping."
"And who will do that?"
"Of course me! Who else?"
Somya laughed lightly at his remark and tried to tease him, "Do you know that the one who kidnaps the bride has to marry her?"
Varun pretended to think for some time before replying, "Hmm...Then I can't help but sacrifice myself to you."
Somya twitched and quickly replied, "No need, no need! There won't be such day in the future."
Varun's delight mood instantly darkened. Earlier, he said that only to tease her back, but her reply somehow irritated him. He wanted to ask her why. Why did she say that? But her phone interrupted them.
"It's Ansh!" Somya said and turned her phone screen in front of his face.
He gave her a 'go' signal with his eyes.
"Hello!" she picked the call and started talking.
'Where were you at 6 o'clock.' Ansh asked, sounding angry.
"I was in a cafe with my friends. We were celebrating my promotion there," she replied calmly.
'Are you sure about it?' he questioned her, gritting his teeth.
"Yes. But why are you asking this?"
'Beep Beep,' he abruptly hung up on her.
A sweet smile spread on Somya's face, and she showed a thumbs-up to Varun.
On Tuesday
It was a holiday the next day due to the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, so Varun and Somya were out to work early in the morning.
Somya was wearing a black hoodie paired with black pants today. She was looking unrecognizable in her black goggles and black mask. Right now, she was following Ansh during his morning walk.
"Agent Beauty, it's Agent Cutie here! Our target is out for a jog in Central Park," she reporter in her Bluetooth headphones.
'Follow him,' Varun replied from the other side of the call, flipping the documents in his hands casually.
"On it, on it!" she replied while jogging.
After 10 minutes
"Haa...haa...Agent Beauty, this Dumb Ass jogs a lot while greeting almost every female in the park!" A panting Somya reported.
"Is that so?" Varun was still doing his office work in his car. He wasn't ashamed at all of letting her partner do all the hard work alone when he himself is sitting in his car leisurely. In fact, he was quite enjoying it.
"Yeap! This stinker eyes almost every girl in his view lecherously. I bet he would have greeted even a female dog if there was any. He got no taste!" Somya's views for Ansh had changed 180 degrees since that day, and now the only thing left inside her for him is anger.
"You are right. That donkey sure has a great taste or else why did he agree on marrying you even after knowing you," Varun teased her. He still remembered her words from yesterday and wanted to get back to her. How dare she reject him!? Humph!
~I want to be with you,
It is as simple,
And as complicated as that~
