Third Person's POV

Morning after Dhruv and Aakriti's date.

In a presentation room, a meeting is going on. The atmosphere is quite tense. We can see the leader writing something. Even though she looked calm, everyone knew and was preparing themself for the storm which is about to come. The presentation stopped, and everyone turned toward her. She raised her eyebrow at them and that for a second made everyone shiver.

"Are we going to present such a stupid proposal? Are you even cross-checking your work or not? Is this a joke to you? If you can't do the work properly, let me know, and I will assign it to somebody else." She yelled, and the presenter started shaking cause of fear.

"Sorry, Ma'am." He said, but that was barely audible.

"Do hell with your sorry. Do you have any idea how important this project is for our company? I want it to be perfect, and I want it to be done by today. No excuses, or else you will be fired." She said and slammed the file on the table and left the conference room. Her secretary was following praying to the creator to keep her alive today. She knocked on her boss's cabin and entered after receiving permission. She looked at her boss, who was sitting on her chair lifelessly.

"Now I know why this branch was going in loss. Maya, get me a cup of coffee." Aakriti said while massaging her forehead. Maya left the cabin, not wanting her boss to repeat her words or project her anger on her.

Maya received a call from Siddhi (the receptionist), and Siddhi sounded panicked.

"Maya mam. Someone delivered a red rose bouquet, and it is for Aakriti ma'am."

"Wtf. Wait I am coming." Maya said and was wondering who is a fool to walk into the lioness's den by themself. She gave Aakriti her coffee and rushed toward the reception area. I looked at the bouquet and was mesmerized.

"When will I receive something so romantic? I am surely going to die single. For God's sake let's try to stop the volcano from bursting. " Maya said and sighed. She felt bad for that bouquet because she can imagine it being thrown in the dustbin.

"You can do it." She sigh and knocked on the door and went in after receiving permission.

"Maam" Maya said in a barely audible tone.

"What do you want Maya?" She said and was still examining the file. After not receiving a reply from Maya. Aakriti raised her head and the moment her sight fell on that bouquet her blank face was replaced with a frown.

"Seriously red roses." She said in a dead voice. Maya felt a shiver run down her body making her pity her life choices. She placed the bouquet on Aakriti's desk. Aakriti took the card that came along with it and started reading it.

"What the hell! Wasn't it him who told us that we were just going to pretend? Why the hell is he sending me a bouquet? I shouldn't have trusted his words. Dammit." Aakrit said in a bit loud voice. Anyone could guess that she was ready to burst and Maya just wished not to be the one experiencing her wrath.

Aakriti quickly took a phone navigated a specific contact and called on it.

"Hello." Dhruv said in a deep voice.

"What the hell do you mean by hello? Why on the planet would you send me something so disgusting?" Aakriti said and Maya rolled her eyes.

"Who would find something so beautiful to be disgusting? Only you ma'am." Maya thought in her mind as she knew if she even utter those words, she would be dead.

"Miss Nanda. It would be better if you tone down your voice. I am not your fucking employee on whom you can raise your voice and could you please care to explain it to me what exactly happened. Because at this moment, I have no idea why you are yelling at me like a mad woman. You might be free, but unlike you, I have a lot of work to do other than entertaining you." Dhruv said in a stern voice and it pissed Aakriti even more.

"Then why did you send that freaking bouquet to me? You clearly said you weren't interested in that damn wedding and here I am receiving a red rose bouquet. Are you trying to impress me? Guess what it is not going to work. I am immune to all these crappy things." Aakriti said in anger.

"Are you done, or do you want to ramble a bit more? Firstly I am not a sappy teenager who will send a bouquet to the girl I like and waste my time chasing her. Secondly, I am not madly in love with you, and most of all I don't even like you. Why will I chase you? And lastly, don't call me unless someone dies or is on the verge of dying. I have given my private number to you and all those who have this number know that they should not call me during office unless it is extremely important. Bye, Miss Nanda." Dhruv said and cut the call.

"Hello... Hello."Aakriti was looking at her cellphone dumbfound. Maya didn't know what exactly was happening. She was only wondering who was the person that had the guts and praying for his life. Aakriti banged the phone on her desk.

"Maam." Maya whispered.

"You are still here. Leave." Aakriti said with a blank look but Maya knew that devil mode was on because of her years of experience with Aakriti. She hastily left the cabin.

Aakriti was confuse as she didn't understand whether she was angry or sad.

Kabir's POV

Same day after Dhruv and Aakriti's date.

I and dadu were waiting for bhai to return from his date.

"Dadu" Bhai came towards us.

"Bhai how did your date go? Did she reject you?" I asked him in a playful manner. Always it is bhai who ends up rejecting them giving lame excuses. Hopefully, it is not the same today.

"How can your mouth only spit nonsense?" Dadu said and twisted my ear.

"What happened? Did you like her?" Dadu asked bhai with a hopeful expression as if anything is going to change. Now bhai will give a long list of flaws and eventually end up rejecting her. She is short, she is too tall, she is talkative, she is boring, and the list is endless.

"We just met today. We have decided to take some time to know each other and get to know each other a bit better than make a decision." Bhai said with a faint smile and left for his room. Did I hear him correctly and is he smiling? Somebody, please pinch me.

"Ahh" I looked at dadu as he pinched me.

"Why did you pinch me dadu?"

"To check that I am not dreaming." What the hell? Both grandfather and granddaughter are mad. This madness runs in the blood I guess.

"Finally that idiot might get married. I will be relieved of all responsibility."

"Dadu how can you say that? Did you forget that you have two more grandsons?" I said in a dramatic way.

"My other grandsons are very capable of thinking about themself. It is just my elder grandson who never thinks about himself and if I don't think about his marriage he might just live his whole life as a sage. He also needs somebody to take care of him." That is so true. If things work out perfectly finally I will get a bhabhi(sister-in-law) who will take my side when bhai is scolding or bullying me. He is always supporting Sachi and scolding me.

"Dadu. Don't you think we should do something to create a bond between both of them otherwise the way bhai is she will surely reject him?" I said.

"Why do you think anyone will reject him? He is the most perfect partner anyone will ever get. It has always been him who had a problem with the girls previously but now I think he liked her finally my hard work is paying off." Dadu said with a wide smile.

"Dadu, Stop bragging about your Mr perfect grandson and come back to reality. He is with that stiff and cold face in front of everybody else other than us. Which girl with the right state of mind will agree to marry a guy who smiles as if doing a favor to someone? He can't even perform small meaningful gestures like sending a good morning message or checking others well being." I said seriously.

" You don't need to worry about it. She is exactly like Dhruv. Ambitious, Responsible, Strict, and a person of fewer words." Dadu said.

"What." She is exactly like bhai. There was already Mr. Hitler in this house now Mrs. Hitler will also join. I thought I will have a nice bond with bhabhi but if she is like bhai then how will she bond with me? She will also think that I am irresponsible rather than cool. Stop thinking about useless matters. It will already be a big deal if bhai gets married.

"Let's send flowers to her as a good gesture on behalf of bhai. It will show his dedication and liking towards her. It might also make her a bit warm towards him. What do you think?" I asked dadu with a hopeful look.

"I think it might work as they both will need a push from us or else they will just ignore each other."

"Yes. Give me her details and I will do all the work." I said and inquired about her

Morning after Dhruv and Aakriti's date.

"Everything is done." I said to dadu and cut the call. Bhai is going to be so happy. Let's go and meet bhai. I want to see his reaction.

"Are you done, or do you want to ramble a bit more? Firstly I am not a sappy teenager who will send a bouquet to the girl I like and waste my time chasing her. Secondly, I am not madly in love with you, and most of all I don't even like you. Why will I chase you? And lastly, don't call me unless someone died or is on the verge of dying. I have given my private number to you and all those who have this number know that they should not call me during office unless it is extremely important. Bye, Miss Nanda." I heard bhai speaking arrogantly and disconnected the call as soon as I opened his cabin door.

What did bhabhi say that bhai got so pissed. He is super angry. God, please save me. I am your most wonderful creation. You can't just let me die at my brother's hand. He looked at me and gave me a sinister smile. I swear my soul is going to leave my body in 5 seconds.

"Was it your stupid idea?" He asked in a stern voice. I was just standing there like a statue my legs were trembling. Did my plan failed?

"I will deal with you later. First, let me handle this mess." he said giving me a deadly glare and got back to his work. He is not just working but also planning my murder. I have never felt so scared in my entire life. I feel like my soul is going to leave my body. 

"Get lost." He said a bit loudly without lifting his head up from the file.

I went to my cabin and was thinking about where I went wrong. I called dadu

"Instead of getting close, they fought with each other. I just sent flowers how can it cause a problem for Bhai? You told me that Bhabhi was exactly like Bhai but I still thought that she would be pleased after receiving flowers as a present. Bhai likes her but maybe she does not like him. How can I be so stupid? Why the hell did I interfere in their matter? Who can save me from Bhai's wrath? I didn't even get a chance to have a girlfriend. Am I going to die single because for sure bhai is going to kill me?" I was ranting nonstop.

"First of all calm down Idiot. As for solving this matter, I will arrange another date for them. I am sending you her number just call her and say that the bouquet was sent by you and also say the intention. You stay out of their matter. I will come up with a good idea to bring them close to each other." Dadu said and cut the call. I will do as dadu said. I hope everything goes well.

God Bless me. I am your most handsome creation you can't let me die in my brother's hand.
