Anya, the girl who fell for her best friend. But he already loves someone else and he is getting married in a month. She loves him to an extent that she can do anything to make him happy, even if his happiness lies in someone else...even if she has to let her heart break into tiny little pieces...even if she has to make her childhood enemy to be her fake boyfriend for a month. But in-between those fake dates, pretence love...does she actually fall for the enemy? But are they meant to be? Because her enemy is a Muslim while she is a Hindu... ***** I stood up and went towards him,"i dont know how you will be able to help me but i need a fake boy-friend before midnight." "'Morrow is sunday already?" He asked. Damn! Him and his short words. I nodded at his question and then he spoke,"then i will be your fake boy-friend." "What?" I choked on the air and started coughing. The boy who is my enemy,we were sworn to be nemesis wants to be my boy friend? Yeah yeah..fake boy-friend but still, thats something i didnt even see it coming in my nightmare. □□□□□□□□□□
I woke up to my mouth full of cat fur, i shifted my cat Kitty on my side as she purred in her sleep.
The sun was shining brightly through my window, birds chirping melodiously, creating an amazing tune.
It was Sunday, means mine and Arjun's tradition day.
Since we were small, we had created a tradition of spending every Sunday with each other and no one else.
And there never came a day of us not following our tradition.
This tradition for us is like the way normal people celebrate their birthdays.
It is a celebration of our friendship.
It is a celebration of our togetherness.
I turned on my other side to find Arjun fast asleep, i smiled at his way of sleeping, leaving an open mouth.
He looked cute like that.
I then kissed him on his cheek and headed towards the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth and then washed my face, and after that i decided to take a bath.
The cold water hit me sharply on my bare shoulder, in this summer it was better to have a bath with cold water than warm water.
I lathered my now shoulder-length hair with my favourite milk and almond nourishing shampoo.
I still don't like the length of my hair, as now they are longer it takes more time in washing than it used to take when they were shorter.
After the bath, i wrapped a towel around my body and came out of the bathroom to look for the clothes to wear.
Looking for clothes in my closet can take decades, in a girl's closet you would always find women's wear right? Well in mine you would mostly get men's wear and that's all thanks to Arjun.
I just wore Arjun's T-shirt which reached to my mid-thigh, that is ofcourse after wearing my undergarments.
I then half-dried my wet hair with the towel and sat on a chair facing the mirror.
I love mirrors.
I then dramatically asked," mirror mirror on the wall,who do you think is the cutest among Arjun's friends?"
Am I crazy or am i CRAZY?
Come on Anu! Your life is not like snow-white that you can speak to the mirror and it will answer you.
Thank You sooo much brain, for explaining me about how my life is for Snow white's sake, i know mirrors don't talk in real life.
I then looked at my reflection.
Big eyes with brown orbs, which becomes lighter under the sunlight.
My long Pinocchio type nose. Its actually not thaaaaatttt long but its longer than average, that is why i call my nose Pinocchio.
Then i got this beautifully shaped lips with a pink shade.
I loved my smile alot, although i could never smile with my lips attached, my toothpaste ad smile is the one i love the most.
I then saw the outline of my face, can a girl look good in a defined jawline? Well that is what i have.
And then i have this body which makes Arjun call me...
"Hey matchstick, why are you up so early?" The sleepy Arjun asked me, he was still a little sluggish from sleep.
Actually am not that thin, but i don't have the curvy body either, its just straight hence am given the name 'matchstick' by Mr. Lazybones Arjun.
I turned around to face him and said," Mr. Lazybones, do you know what the time is? Its not early, its fifteen minutes past eleven!"
"So? Its Sunday! No one is allowed to wake up before noon. Its a crime you know?" He kept on telling me how big crime it is to wake up early on a Sunday and blah blah.
Who would have listened to that boring lecture anyway?
I ignored his explanation and started to brush my hair, i tell you Arjun is the only boy i have ever heard that he was the quarterback of our high school and yet he is the most lazy person.
A footballer is supposed to be sporty and active.
Arjun was and is a couch potato.
I wonder how he was always able to make his team win.
Plus, he was the coach's fave player, in fact he is everyone's heartthrob.
Suddenly i felt pain, cause something fell on me.
I screamed," ooouuuch!"
I then turned around took the pillow that was thrown to me and threw it back to Arjun while saying," do you know it hurts?"
It didn't actually hurt but I had to be a bit dramatic.
Obviously am not good in aiming, so the pillow that i threw landed the other side of the bed.
He took another pillow and threw at me again.
This time i dodged," hah! And now get ready for a pillow fight!" I declared.
Anger rising in me like a quick silver in a thermometer, i rushed towards Arjun, climbed on top of the bed, took the pillow and started to attack him.
Before my pillow could even touch him.
Arjun took hold of a pillow nearby him and started moving the pillow here and there without seeing what he was doing, cause his eyes were closed.
He looked like an actor from Jackie chan's movie who had encountered the trained fighters and he himself doesn't even know the AbC of fighting, of karate.
This moment, there is big fat smile stuck on my lips, the air is tickling.
The stupid wishes are making noise, i have got reasons for happiness.
There is something passionate, there is something craziness, cause right now my crazy mind is telling me hundred of things.
Let the dreams do stupidity,let the eyes rules, lets find some new destination and do very very funny mistakes.
If you want to be in senses then there is no use in living, being intoxicated, being mad is fun.
The childishness is happening so let it happen.
As now i have got reasons for happiness.
What is this effect i got on my mind, my heart beat is running in all types of speed.
There is some tune playing with the breeze.
There is too much of sun shining today morning.
Let the heart keeps on having silly feeling cause i have got the reasons for happiness.
I looked at Arjun and laughed hard.
He is the reason for my happiness.
For the past few months, i don't know what's happening to me.
I feel everything magical.
I feel myself alive for a cause.
I feel everything colourful.
Arjun stopped his pillow fight with the air and looked at me and said," what? I was defending myself!'
I rolled my eyes and said," yeah right, your automatic-defending-yourself-action was beneficial for you."
He smiled, an indent showing on his left cheek, with his dark brown hair framing his defined features, with little tufts here and there, which went perfectly with his tanned skin.
Can someone be this perfect? Even after just waking up?
I mean i don't know why pillows only thinks of styling girls hair specifically.
We always wake up with a bird's nest on top of our head.
Arjun coughed intentionally to bring me back to earth from my imaginary world and said," now that you have stopped day dreaming about me, can you come back to reality and let us decide what we will do today?" His demeanour all nonchalant and cool.
I smiled evily thinking of all funny and silly things i will make him do today but said," first lets do brunch, cause am famished."
"Am worried after seeing your grin," he spoke as i was heading downstairs for brunch while he entered inside the washroom.
You should be. I thought.
