Vedant Dixit
I was just walking out of the cafe trying to control my anger when Neha called me.
"Vedant." She called and I turned around.
"I am really sorry for her behaviour back there. I know you were just trying to help her and she snapped at you." She explained.
"It's fine. What more could I expect from her? A civil conversation with her is out of my league." I said and Neha looked at me guilty.
"You don't have to be guilty is her fault. I know she hates men but I wasn't talking for her good. Those men were really dangerous." I said shaking my head and recalled how she punched the guy.
Ohh God!
She has no boundaries!
"It is not her fault, Vedant. She was just a hell lot of angry because he threatened her with the cafe." She explained.
"As she says, I shouldn't care. She is right, I don't know why I felt the need to protect her. I don't even know why are you handling her when she is like this." I said irritated.
Neha just chuckled and said,
"Because you don't know the real her. The day you come to know what she exactly is, you will definitely take these words back."
"Yeah. But the day will never come because she hates me. Maybe she hates me more than any man." I said rolling my eyes.
"Trust me when I say the most civil she is been with any man is you. Around you she is diffrent. And before you say that this is bullshit let me tell you I've known her since years, I know." She said smiling.
Is this the most civil she could be?
"Take care of her. And, I don't know why am I even saying this but If you need anything please call me. I don't know why I can't get the scene out of my head." I said handing her my business card and she nodded smiling.
I don't even know why do I want to do anything for her!
She's right we've just met each other since maybe 2 weeks and all we have done is arguments.
I need severe help!

I just sat in my car irritated. Well, It was the day when I had meeting with my grandfather today.
As usual, he got another reasons for rejecting me as the CEO.
I huffed and started driving the moment I reached home I heard everyone laughing.
"Mom, you don't know. I just loved the girl! She is fire mom, fire." Ishana said & Adi also laughed with her.
"Ved beta, you're back. How was your meeting with dad?" Bua asked.
"He found another reason to not give me a chance." I said sighing.
"What did he say?" Mom asked holding my shoulder.
I took a deep breath because I knew the condition he put forward is something I can't think of fulfilling right now.
"He says I am not responsible enough." I said and everyone looked at me confused.
"But he would have some reason for that right?" Adi asked.
"Because I'm 29 and unmarried. According to him Kavya left me a year ago and I'm still not able to get out of it then how will I handle The Dixit Industries." I said irritated.
Someday, I'm definitely going to prove that I am very capable enough to handle The Dixit Industries.
"I have a solution to this." Bua said smiling.
"Get married." Mom said with a wide smile and I looked at them with a bewildered expression.
Are they even hearing themselves?
"And who is going to get married to me knowing that I am still in love with the person who left me?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"That is my problem." Mom said.
"Mom, no! You know getting married is like a very pure thing. I just can't get married because I want a chance. It will be like cheating on the girl." I tried to explain them.
"I told you right. That responsibilty is mine. The girl would know your reason of getting married and will also know about Kavya." Mom tried convincing me.
"Mom— I started holding her hand but she interrupted me saying,
"You've been struggling for that position since 3 years. This time there is a ray of hope. I don't want you to lose it."
"Please, do it for me. For your dad." She said and she knew the moment she takes Dad's name I'll melt.
I just nodded.
"But, I'm not going to get married to someone who would not know the situation." I told my mom very sternly and she nodded.
"Ishana, who was the girl you were talking about?" Mom asked her.
"Sana. The one who argues with him everytime." Ishana said.
"How about we get her information?" Mom asked Adi and I started laughing.
"Mom, she would never even let you stand before her if you tell you're there to talk about getting her married." I told her.
"The things I have heard about the girl tells me that she really is not into anyone. And, she wouldn't fall for you. Double plus because she won't have a problem with Kavya then." Mom said and I shook my head.
"Mom you don't know her. Just meet her once you'll know that she will really opt for sucide before getting married to a man." I said rolling my eyes and Adi started laughing.
"Ohh god! I can imagine them getting married. Bhai will have to wake up everyday hearing to new profanities."
"Ha ha ha! As if we are ever going to get married." I said rolling my eyes.
"Beta, you don't know your mom. She has her ways of persuading." Bua said winking at me.
They are going to get me killed!
God only save me..!
"Mom, but why her? I mean when you know that she just argues with him. Why her?" Ishana asked.
"Because we want someone who won't fall for him. Because he still has Kavya in his heart and it is really difficult for him. Who can be better than her?" Mom said.
She'll know when she meets her!
"We don't know anything about her. How are you so sure?" Bua asked and mom just smiled.
"Just trust me on it. And you'll see Vedant getting married in a month." Mom said winking at me.
Yeah sure!
And then get me killed after a day of marriage.
What do I do now?
