Chapter 1: Chalk and Cheese

"How would he say no to this Nani..." Anjali asked her grandmother... "After we saw him staring at her dreamily at most of the functions and parties... I thought he would say yes"

"I thought so too... He had eyes for no one but her...But now he says no to her also...Who knows what is in his mind..."

"May be we should give it a rest for sometime Nani... and speak to Kushi and see what she has to say about this... May be she can make him say yes"

"hmm"

***

"Akaash' Kushi said No" Payal whimpered to her boyfriend
"Bhai said No too Payal'" Akaash updated to her sadly
"What is the problem between these two? They were really good friends at one point then what happened?"
"God knows'" Akaash told her as he looked up to see Arnav's friend NK coming in to climb up the stairs to his brother's room' "wait! There is someone else who would know too" Akaash winked at Payal before he went to stop NK
"Hi NK"
"Hi dude.. You bro is up there?"
"He should be there' but there is something that needs your presence downstairs"
"My presence?"
"Yeah come" Akaash told NK, literally lifting him and dragging him to where Payal was sitting munching popcorns and giggling at how NK was being dragged.
"Hey Payal.. you are here"
"yeah' Hi"
"Kushi is here too?"
"No my sister didn't come' I came here to see Akaash"
"Oh' so whats up?"
"Our families are thinking of dissolving the friendship code between them soon'."
"OH my god what happened? "
"Nothing, they are planning to venture into relatives code"
NK blinked for some time before he understood it
"Hey congrats' you both are getting officially engaged then?"
"NO" Payal hushed as Akaash looked around and heaved a relieved sigh noticing no one around
"Our relationship is pretty much a secret with our families still" Akaash explained "they are planning to get Kushi and Arnav married"
NK blinked at them again before he threw his head back and laughed like a maniac
"Kushi?" NK asked as they both nodded "with Arnav?" they nodded for that too. Stop joking guys, it will not happen in a million years
"Why" they both asked holding his hand on each side and effectively sinking and sandwiching him between them on the sofa
"Because they both are like cheese and chalk- so different"
"Different poles attract"
"But this is different' they wont and cant mix.. even if they can' they have not been talking to eachother for ages now"
"What happened between them? Akaash's serious tone took NK by surprise
NK looked at Akaash. Now he realized why he was needed downstairs' He is not going to tell them what went wrong between his friends' that was a long story- something which he himself didn't know fully' and if he disclosed what he knew.. he would become a mince meat next minute...
"look I know why you both want to get Arnav and Kushi together" NK started to tell them- so that your marriage will be smooth'"
"Yes" they both told in unison
"Also I can't think of a better wife for my brother" Akaash told him
"and what more to have my sister as my Jethani" Payal told dreamily.
"and Nani wont agree for my marriage when Arnav isn't married yet" Akaash added to it
"and Arnav would be the best for my sister 'I wouldnt trust anyone to take care of her other than Arnav or Akaash and I cant spare Akaash... so its going to be Arnav! " Payal finished it off
"You both seem to have taken it a mission to get your sister and brother married to eachother" NK observed
"Yes" they both chorused in unison
"But it is the most impossible mission ever known to mankind" NK told them, as he got up from the sofa and they both gaped at him
"NK'" Akaash called him threateningly and then when Nk looked at him, Akaash came on his knees "Please"
"Please help us unite them" Payal told him as she as well kneeled down beside Akaash putting her hands together
"We know you can do it'."
"Please!"
"For heaven's sake"
"For your Friendship's sake"
"For the sake of Arnav and Kushi"
"For our love"
"please say yes"
