" Thik lag raha hu na?! ", Aarnik questioned while sprayed some perfume on.
(Do I look okay?!)
" Bhai tu thik hai na?! ", Ansh, another one of Aarnik's best friend questioned.
( Bro, are you ok?!)
" Ha, kyu?! ", Aarnik questioned.
(Yeah, why?!)
" Bhaii, hum garba khelne jaa rahe hai!! Tu date pe nai jaa raha!! ", Ansh exclaimed.
(Bro, we're going to play Garba!! You're not going on a date!!)
" Bhaii, date se important kuch hai!! Meher bhabhi se pehli baar milne wale hai aaj bhaisahab!! ", Vihaan commented.
(Bro, this is more important than a date!!Today, bro is going to meet Meher bhabhi for the first time!!)
" Oohhh.... To konse garba groud jana hai?! ", Ansh questioned.
(Ohhh... So which garba ground are we going to?!)
" Pata nai?! ", Aarnik replied.
( I don't know?!)
" Tune pucha nai?! ", Vihaan yelled.
( You didn't ask her?!)
" Vo mene pucha na uske chaniya choli ka colour... ", Aarnik said meekly.
(I asked her about the color of her chaniya choli...)
" Gaaliya khayega tu merese!! Sirf ek colour ke through kese milega tu usse?! ", Ansh also yelled clearly annoyed.
(You'll get scolded by me!! How will you find her just through one color?!)
" Kismat. Kismat ki madat se", Aarnik replied with a smile.
(Fate. With the help of fate.)
" Bhaii, ye real life hai bollywood movie nai!! ", Vihaan added.
(Bro, this is real life, not a Bollywood movie!!)
" Pata nai yaar. Aaj mil jayegi vo aaisa lag raha hai ", Aarnik said.
(I don't know, bro. It feels like I’ll meet her today.)
" Agar sirf ek colour se mil gayi na vo to maan jaungi you two are meant to be!! ", Ansh exclaimed.
(If you meet her just because of one color, then I'll believe you two are meant to be!!)
" Guyss, pehle Avni se mil aaye ?! ", Vihaan questioned.
(Guys, let's meet Avni first?!)
" Ha chal!!", Aarnik agreed while Ansh just sighed.
( yeah, let's go!!)
ו•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••×
Aarnik and the two reached the garba ground where Avni usually goes.
"I'll call Avni till then Aarnik can look around for Meher bhabhi", Vihaan said as he went to a silent corner.
" Vo ho sakti hai Meher bhabhi ", Ansh said as he pointed to a girl in pink.
(She could be Meher Bhabhi.)
" Nai!! Yaar, vo naii", Aarnik said as he again looked around.
(No, she isn't)
"Aur vo hui to?! ", Ansh questioned.
( what if she is?!)
" Nai hai yaar vo mujhe pata hai!! ", Aarnik exclaimed.
(No, it's not her, I know it!!)
" Kese?! ", Ansh asked in confusion.
(How?!)
" Bas andar se feeling aa rahi ye nai hai ", Aarnik replied.
(I just have a feeling from inside that it's not her.)
"Bhaii, iss bheed me jinhe pehle dekha ho vo log bhi jaldi na mile aur tujhe vo jise tune kabhi dekha hi nai mil jayegi?! ", Ansh questioned.
(Bro, in this crowd, even the people you've seen before, you won’t meet them easily, and you're going to meet the one you've never even seen?!)
" Ha bhaii!! Mujhe kismat pe pura bharosa haii.... tu nai samjega ", Aarnik said as he went foreword.
(Yeah, bro!! I have complete faith in fate.... you won’t understand.)
Aarnik went deeper within the garba ground as he kept looking around for someone who was wearing pink. But for some reason, every girl he spotted were not her, they were not his Meher. Just when he turned in order to return to Ansh, he bumped into someone.
"Sorry!! I'm really sorry", she apologized and as soon as I heard her voice the surroundings just blurred, like in the movies and my heart beat rised.
It was Her!! It was Meher!! She was actually standing in front of him!! He froze. Aarnik just frozen as he lost his senses because only thing that matter to him right now was the girl that was in front of him right now, Meher. His Meher.
Aarnik's excitement currently was unmatched!! His hands slightly shaking with nervousness!! This was the moment he was waiting for!! But what if it was wents wrong?! Aarnik's mind flooded with several self doubts and insecurities.
Then she looked up her eyes taking in Aarnik's appearance while Aarnik noticed her outfit. Pink. Like she told him. Then finally he met her gaze as they shared an eye contact.
And that was it!! This mind went blank no questions at all...... All the insecurities and self doubts in an instant replaced by adoration.
This moment was perfect for him, she was perfect to him. Her midnight black hair, her black eyes and her brown skintone. Her open hair reached till her waist, her curtain bangs came on her face, which she tucked behind her ear as it irritated her, due to the slight wind.
'God, save me!!! ', was all Aarnik thought as he saw the slight blush on her cheeks.
"It's ok, Meher?? ", Aarnik said sounding a little hesitant, silently conforming if it was really her.
His heart had recognized long ago but his brain it needed a slight confirmation that it was her.
Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she failed to recognize how I, a mere stranger knew her name?!
" How did you know my Name?! ", Meher questioned and that was all Aarnik needed. It was officialy confirmed, It was her!!
" Accha, pass se?!", she said as she realised she was wearing a pass with her name written on it, the confusion on her face replaced by awkwardness instead.
(Oh, through the pass?!)
"Ji nai, Author ji. Aapne hume pehchana nai ", Aarnik said as he raised his eyebrows, his tone now more playful than hesitant.
( you didn't recognize me)
Aarnik noticed it all as she realized who he was. The way her heart beat rose and the awkwardness on her face was replaced by shock and a slight amusement .
" Aarnik?! ", she questioned for confirmation, her tone meek.
" One and only!!", Aarnik gave her the confirmation she needed.
