Making Trouble

The group enjoyed the night view of the park while chatting about friends and their upcoming college events and exams. Whereas Risabh and Mann settled them on a bench where they can see the group from some distance.

This week flew by so fast, only a week remaining to start the month of love, February. Next week Ruhi's birthday, a girl in Piyali's group and their friend but also there is an exam next week so they planned to celebrate this weekend.

After a hectic day at the office, Risabh saw Piyali and her two friends while he is stuck in the traffic. Out of instinct, he followed their taxi. 'it's already 8 pm, where they are going this late. this is not the way to their apartment. These girls are careless.'

They entered into an open garden restaurant, where their friends waited. Risabh saw the charming smile of Piyali from a corner while they are celebrating a friend's birthday. Risabh feels he was agitated so returned quietly.

At Risabh's apartment:

"Good morning bro", Mann said while placing the coffee in front of him.

"Good morning"

"What? You are looking tired. Didn't you sleep well?" Mann asked.

A simple "hmm" sound came from Risabh. Last night he couldn't close his eyes for a second also. It seemed he was hallucinating the giggling of that girl in front of him. At dawn, he hardly took a nap. He will get mad if it continues like this. he has to do something about this girl.

Piyali's Apartment:

Piyali is talking with her Mom on the phone while having breakfast with her GFs.

"Now you are done with your exam then why don't you go and meet him"? Her mom is trying hard to convince her for another date.

As she explained, He is handsome, rich, from a reputed family also. After a thorough background check, they finalized this date for her not like her recent date, the short-tempered one. After hearing about Risabh attitude that day, her parents regretted not checking the candidate's character. Piyali is the only daughter so is always loved and pampered by her parents and grandparents. But she is not a spoiled one.

At a floor top restaurant:

Risabh is attending a blind date which is arranged by his family with no interest. His face started aching because of the fake smile he is giving. The girl Before him is pretty and behaving coquettishly. She can't miss this handsome and perfect-looking guy. Any girl will feel lucky to marry this gentleman.

Piyali noticed him when she stepped inside, Risabh's gaze was also attracted towards her. Instantly his eyes brightened when he saw her, an unknown contentment filled him. Is it just a coincidence or destiny, they are meeting again. But in the next second, his eyes became fiery. The girl who came with him got confused and panicked about how dangerous he became suddenly.

Piyali didn't come alone, she is followed by a guy who looked rich and cool. He is the date set for her by her family. They both went to the table reserved for them. That man's eyes stuck to Piyali, never left for a second also.

Risabh is feeling enraged and trying hard to control himself. Just after fifteen minutes, he stood from his seat.

"What happened?" the girl with him asked. "I am sorry. You can leave, don't wait for me. I have some issues to handle", by saying this he steps forwarded towards Piyali's table.

Piyali saw him coming in her direction and her eyes widened. In a moment he stood beside her and snapped, "stand up and come with me."

"excuse me??? Do you know each other?" that man asked Piyali while his eyes are studying both of them.

"Of course we know each other, right Piyali." Before Piyali can react to anything Risabh replied and caught her wrist and drag her outside the restaurant.

"what the hell are you doing here, and who's that man?" Risabh inquired.

Piyali is also angered by him. She is not able to understand why he is behaving like this. He rejected her now making trouble for her.

" This is none of your business." She took a deep breath and asked "what do you want and why are you troubling me?"

"I'm troubling you?" Risabh looks surprised.

"yes, and if there is nothing then excuse me I'll be leaving" then Piyali turned around but Risabh caught one of her arms and pulled her closer. Today, she wore a light blue long dress and it complements her fair skin tone. Even she applied light makeup, her plump lips look more enchanting. Risabh knows his boundaries. He slowly released her but not wanting to send her to that man.

"Don't go to him, tell him that you are going with me" Risabh pondered for some moment then told her slowly.

"But why would I listen to you? Now, don't tell me you are captivated" Piyali asked.

Risabh is silent for a minute then said in a hoarse voice "I don't know anything just listen to me and give me some time to explain, please".

Piyali didn't reply but called the person and informed him she has something to do so she is returning. She knew after this something will get complicated in her life.

Risabh felt relieved. He dropped Piyali at her apartment, they didn't speak on the way home. When they reached Piyali's residence area, he asked "what's the plan tonight? Will you be at home or going out?"

" I've to dine out with my friends". she replied.

"Hmm, that's good. see you then." after that, he took a twirl and drove away. She stood there couldn't decipher what he meant.
