His Pretended Fiancee`(spin off of Marriage For Convenience)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

"Sandy" Genelia fluttered her lashes "what are you doing here. Mr. Khurana and me had been searching you everywhere."

I stared at Sia who stared back at me, both our mouth forming an unusual 'o'

I mean yes 'o' is o but it was awkward, last I remember we broke up or she broke up but why was she with my dad and why were they looking for me?

Should I be scared?

When I was simply gaping, Sia narrowed her eyes at me looking at me with suspicion.

Was she a detective now?

"Why would you be with my dad?' oh s**t I blurted it aloud.

'Come on" Genelia pulled me with my arms "Did you take the breaking of engagement seriously?" she tried to kiss me but couldn't reach my cheeks

Yay! I am tall

Or she is short

How does it matter though?

"Oh honey that was spur of a moment thing" She started fluttering her lashes that I once found very seductive. 

"Don't worry Mr. Khurana I've got him under control" she winked at my dad and..

And I know I have mentioned it a lot more times, I am an embarrassment magnet especially whenever Sia is around.

Because my dad laughed heartily watching the scene unfolded in front of him as if we were the latest Oscar nominated movie.

Bloody freaking hell!

He even raised a toast for her!

Where is Angie?

Where are her healthy food attics?

Why hasn't she picked up on dad yet?

Right then when Angie dressed in white crossed path dad immediately turned around as if he were playing paintballs with her and was avoiding her gaze quickly picking gran ma for another round of gossip.

Gran ma loves to gossip about her daughter in law and is always ready with a new tell a tale about how funny Sia's mom's English is.

Before I could assess the condition I was in I realized I was pulled by my silver gray striped tie, "he's gone and he's aware that I have you under control" Genelia winked and pulled me to her for a kiss.

Bu..., wai... I thought.

Well you might know by now that I wasn't able to complete my sentence

Sia beat me to it "Aw! I never knew he was your mobile or your pet to be controlled?" Sia put both of her palms on both of our chest, well my chest, Genelia's you know what!? Separating the two of us.

Hey but why b**bs?

"I'd appreciate if you do not clash between me and my fiancé you... umm... what your name is Pari's li'l.." Genelia's sickly sweet words were let short of being complete when Sia interrupted her.

"Okay hold on. First go to Pari and ask my name and then you can guide me what to do and what not to do Geneeeeeellllia"

I was happily dancing inside when Sia stretched her name just like Genelia did to mine but I was cut short when I felt a tuck on my neck.

Oh my god I am dying

Genelia is probably strangling me to death.

Okay okay I might be over exaggerating.

Genelia might be a little possessive but she is a darling and wouldn't hurt a soul.

"Mean time he needs some clean up" this was Sia actually pulling me from my tie as she gesticulated at the orange stains on my shirt.

"He is fine" oops it was now Genelia snatching my tie from Sia "nothing that a closed dress suit won't cover.

Well can I take the 'wont hurt a soul part back?'

Because she was actually pulling my tie bit too hard.

Next she was working on the buttons of my suit.

"I am fine Genelia." I said trying to push her off.

"Yes you are sweetie" Genelia fluttered her lashes "Now come I need some alone time" she licked her lower lip "you know how to use that lone time."

My dad showing a thumbs up from far end corner

And I was done.

"Listen Genelia" I pushed both her hands apart that were still holding my suit "you broke the engagement and I think you were right. We were never meant to be."

"Oh Saandy you cannot be taking that fight seriously" Genelia pouted like a spoiled child begging for a new and expensive toy.

"Sorry Genelia" I tried to waiver her off but she seemed persistent.

"Let me put into your head one thing" Sia went face off with Genelia

Thankfully Sia intervened

Ooommph for me!!!

Yay I am a happy man

"Listen babes that was engagement that you broke , not a finger nail" she then plucked her nail from her pointer and broke it off in one sharp pull handing it to a gaping Genelia.

Horrified I was staring at her hands looking at the dripping red liquid and waiting for the painful shrieks to follow.

Instead she petted on my head like I was her pet dog "don't worry Sandy boy" she smiled sweetly as she pushed her nail deprived finger at me "I have lot more in my cosmetic box. I can always wear a new one."

Then she rubbed her hand that petted my hair probably she felt ticklish with the gel spiked hair of mine.

I however didn't mouth my revelation as there were better things to enjoy at the moment

While Genelia was making strange faces at Sia's behavior, Sia continued pulling my gray tie that was now crushed between her fingers, nailless fingers

"Yes and I need him to help me" this was Sia pulling me again.

Soon another set of finger joined pulling my tie towards opposite side.

What am I? 

Some tug of war rope.

Girls cut me some slack

"Aww my baby is angry now" Genelia cooed "couples fight. So did we. It was spur of moment, not an actual break up."

"GENELIA." s**t I was loud as numerous eyes were on us now.

"We need to talk." I tried to be calm "but not here, not now. I need some time and then I'll talk."

"No Sand baby." She showed a slight tantrum "we should talk now. Your dad and me had a conversation."

"Exactly Genelia" I took a tight calming breath that could ease off some of my frustration "we need to talk like adults where some other adult especially my dad is not involved."

"Last I remember you broke your engagement" sia interrupted, her finger animatedly on her chin.

"Yes I did and I take that breaking of engagement off" Genelia announced the renunciation of our relationship.

"Wait!" I shouted "I disagree. I do not want to be engaged with you."

Sia looked at me as if she was our respected prime minister calling up his countrymen for calling off the currency I mean demonetization, the 1000 and 500 rupee notes being metaphor of the ring that she so ungracefully threw on my eye.

While I was having a run down the memory lane, more laughter erupted from Sia "

Who is she?

A cylinder full of laughing gas or nitrogen oxide.

"Yeah can we have the little demo of how you broke up with him." She clapped her hands dreamily "I missed the best part, I guess the theatrics."

"What do you mean?" Genelia was genuinely confused by now "where were you? How do you know?'

"That doesn't matter." Sia said as she bit the short crust pastry, letting the crumbles sticking to her pink lips.

I might have stared a bit too longer. So she forwarded the rest half of her bitten pastry towards me to share. "Take it. You look hungry." Sia offered.

I mumbled an inaudible 'no thank you' waving my palms in denial, my tongue licking at the sight of tempting patisserie.

'Whatever' she shrugged as she put the whole piece in her mouth in one go most unladylike manner yet looking $exier than practically possible.

"Come Sandy I am starving. Lets check the salad counter." Genelia was pulling AGAIN 

"Salad" Sia made a distasteful face and quickly leapt to pick another glass of orange juice from the waiter ''Wait this is how you broke your engagement right?" Before me or Genelia could react I felt cold liquid traveling down from my scalp tip my nose, lips FYI I couldn't even taste it before it went all the way south..

Come on not always there is only one thing that is directed towards south, gravity also travels south...

So did the orange juice and as it flew downwards, my new gray Armani suit was bleeding tears of orange.

"Oops" Sia covered her mouth in mock horror "I guess this is something that his suit cannot take care of.

Now for my own sanity I wouldn't admit that I was pulled by Sia but instead I'd be truthful and admit that Sia dragged me through the crowd thankfully our medium of contact was finally not my tie but my wrists and I would try to be a gentleman and deny the fact that I felt tiny jolts of electricity wherever she touched...

No no no..

Delete these words

Drain from your memories whatever you heard from my side

Electricity? Sparks?

That was bit too girly

And this was Sia; restricted area!!!!

Cue red flags swaying

"Woo ho!" Sia wolf whistled "I agree you have a terrific body and you look hot and all" she gave a once over and would love to hide the fact that she seemed uninterested or bored at whatever she saw.

Way to boost my ego!

Damn this girl is going to crush all the confidence that I have earned since years.

Well I cannot even cover my abs with my hands like girls cover their b**bs so I simply shrugged clueless.

"Here" she opened a huge wardrobe that was filled with suits, nightdresses, undergarments.. and if you're a coughing at this revelation you'd have your eye balls out of your socket when you'll learn that a huge box was filled with different flavors of condoms. Yes like a gentleman I should have skipped that area and concentrated on the pile of shirts and suits that would best match the trousers that were only garment left on me unscathed with the orange drink

And for quick and sprint thinkers yes! My underwear is also safe and unstained.

However my eyes couldn't help twitching and I raised my eyebrows at the sight of mango, banana, pineapple, chocolate and even coffee flavored c*****.

Excuse me if I have missed any.

Unaffected she simply answered "this is Raj's and sometimes they both I mean Pari and Raj spend their nights here when Pari has some emergency or simply is short of night staff."

For the first time ever she gave an interested eyebrow raise 'now I know why does Raj always get excited instead of gloomy like he used to be whenever Pari announces her night stay in the hospital." She made sibling rivalry expression on her face "the same reason he volunteers to pick up and drop her every time she plans to stay.

"Its okay I don't think that should be a problem." I quickly shut the almirah close.

I don't think I could take any further gory details of $ex life of Raj and Angie.

'Wait weren't they planning a baby?

Then why so many ummm...' 

"I guess that's the reason so many" Sia spoke out loud.

"Oh s**t did I think it loud?" embarrassing myself has been my in thing now. 

She bit her lips amused at my slip and simply nodded.

"Why?" I couldn't help but ask her.

"Oh god you are still stuck up with the flavored condoms up there. You can have some if you want." She was about to retreat back to the replica of a five star rated kind of hotel suite room "but who are you gonna use them on here? Genelia?"

"NO" I might have yelled a bit too loudly "I did mean about uh huh.."

"s**t whose the girl here?" she sighed and added "Its okay you can use all the c words, x words, pg13 words, I am a grown up adult now and I can take them like a matured adult" she animated being offended although I know she wasn't.

"I didnt mean condom okay." I clarified

"Then?"

"I mean. I.. why did you get me here. Spilling drink?" I asked.

The color from her face drained and a strange looking Sia stood in front of me who answered curtly "Sometimes experiences overgrow your age and teach you much more than books or parent could"

I stared for long at a different Sia who stood fiercely but quickly like a moth disappearing into a flame; she composed herself "Look Sandy. Relationships have to be chosen wisely. And from the way I was looking. I felt Genelia was pushing you into it." She simply shrugged "I pulled you out from there to give you time to think, "Marriage is a big commitment. Don't take rash decisions.'

"Wow!" I couldn't help but compliment her.

"Huh" she was utterly confused.

"Such wise words form little Sia, I still remember the little girl with glasses and two pigtails always running away form attention."

She raised an eyebrow "Really you want to travel that lane?" she said intimidatingly and I might have taken a step back involuntarily as she added "Your not so acquaintances with Raa.."

Thankfully she was cut short by Angie "Sia please come here. Mrs Della wants to meet you."

"Oh no" Sia cringed "Not now Pari."

"Oh hi Sandy, the kiddo's doing good but I need Sia" she said all of this in one breath as she continued pulling Sia towards the crowd of people.

The party was much better with Sia on my side pulling my leg!

'''''''''''''''

Twenty thousands ants were tied with a thick robe and were asked to pull a full-grown elephant.

Can you imagine how interesting would be to see the elephant walk., how quick would be his steps.

Well you can actually compare my walk to hall of shame s***h boredom.

I drag myself to the second floor of a hospital that is not my dad's thankfully, to visit my therapist, my least favorite activity to do..

"Dr. Sandeep what a pleasure to meet you" Sheena, an intern from my dad's hospital greeted

I immediately wiped the invisible sweat from my head "Oh my Cindrella how are you" I said excitedly "still in your pointed stilettoes"

"Still a turn on for you?" she winked as she lifted her skinny heels off the floor showcasing her thin pointed heels.

"Aww! the sexiest" I pulled her for a hug.

"Meeting an old friend?" she asked.

"Yup" I nodded confidently.

Lying?

Nah my therapists always tells me to speak the truth as if she were my friend.

So I wasn't lying.. I guess.

And as if universe was pushing its limits. I reached the top floor of the phycology department to get face off with none other than...

You can enjoy in chorus when you know whom I am talking about..

No drumrolls please...

For this is none other than Sia.

I waited at the stairs for her to leave but she was rooted scratching the sides of her seat with her nails.

I could actually feel her.

She too was waiting for her appointment.

I knew those jitters too well.

Toying with her mobile with other hand trying to keep her occupied, she tried to keep herself distracted yet failed miserably.

I couldn't take that sight of her. She is normally very confident.

Its not like I have known her since ages. 

Just that last couple of meets and I think I have known her since long.

Well technically I have seen her since I had befriended Angie so yes I have known her for long since she was a shy and timid girl, always escaping conversations.

This changed Sia entices me in a way that I want to be with her all the time or want to go running down the hills.

'Sandy' a loud yell from Sia made me appear from my secret hideout "What a pleasure!" she exclaimed shaking my hand firmly

Wow!

"Mr Sandeep Khurana" the nurse yelled from her register "Its your turn"

Whoa! So much for trying to skip discreetly.

"No.. no I'll meet my friend later, you may let the lady in first." I said casually putting both my hands in the pockets of my dress pants.

"You are already late" the annoyed nurse said looking at me from behind her glasses. "Doctor was actually waiting for you."

"Hey sweetheart" I said sweetly "such sweet glasses. You might be the only one in this planet who looks $exy as hell in the glasses."

I did see her lips twitching and curving a slight upwards but she maintained her strict resolve "no flirting with me Mr." She said sternly "you may go lady" she looked at Sia then crossing my name in the list and checking the others in list and few waiting on the lounge.

"Well ma'm I might have to take the rain check." Sia looked at her mobile screen with sudden shocked disappointment "some emergency in the family."

"Shall I reschedule for tomorrow" the nurse asked in her professional tone obviously her voice laced with genuine sympathy.

"No I'll call and get the appointment. Thanks" Sia politely excused herself.

"Everything alright?" I asked with concern.

"Why? Yes." she shrugged "why are you asking?"

"You skipped your appointment?" I asked.

"So did you?" like a kid pushing blame to another for her misdoing she shrugged off her missing on her appointment.

"Oh I was meeting him as a friend..." before I could phrase a quick lie she shushed me off.

"Save it Sandy, no need to lie" she pushed the phone in her tote and zipped it tightly as she said the obvious fact "I had already read your name in the list of patients Sandeep Khurana" she then eyed me up and down "although your presence was only confirmation that THE Sandy was the Sandeep khurana."

"About that.." I was scratching my hair trying to avoid accepting my atrocity.

"Look I have a deal" Sia suggested "Let both of us skip this boring and dreading session and have fun together."

"Sounds good," I agreed more than happy, rather happiest words in any of the dictionary "but what's the deal in that?"

"I am coming to that" she flicked some tendrils of her hair cross her face looking even prettier "deal is in the hour we spend together and let our families assume that we are having a session, we'll have as much fun as we can and as against it we both wont ask, discuss or even talk about the very reason we were at the therapist in first place.

"Sounds like a plan" I happily agreed

Wait wait "is this a kind of date?'

But I dare did not word my question....
