Juhi was so excited to meet her friend that she arrived early and was now sitting in the restaurant waiting for her.

Ankita came exactly at 8. She looked pretty and married.

Juhi hugged her and they started talking.
" How are you, Ankita?"

" I'm good, how about you?"

" I am well. It's been so long."

" Yes, it is. So, tell me do you have a boyfriend?"

Juhi rolled her eyes, Ankita always had this question. " Nope. But I may get married soon."

" Woah! It's such a great news. I never knew, I would come home to this."

Ankita was so excited for her friend, Juhi was always single, never had a relationship. Ankita continued, " Who is the guy?", she raised her eyebrows.

" Uh, he is somebody my parents chose."

" Arranged marriage, huh?"

Juhi nodded.

Ankita placed her hand on Juhi's and said, " Look Juhi, arranged marriage is conventional but you obviously don't know a thing about him, as of now, right?"

For Juhi it was like Ankita was reading her mind, she just nodded. " You should get to know him, start talking and meet up often. Get comfortable with each other."

Juhi smiled at her friend and said, " You always give the best advice Ankita."

They had a fun dinner, catching up and discussing Ankita's husband and their married life.

After saying their goodbyes, Juhi went back to her house. She was wondering how to contact Vikram. She didn't even have his mobile number, for God's sake.

Suddenly a message popped on her phone.

Unknown: Hey! How are you? Save this number, it is me Vikram.

It was like God listened to her problem. Juhi was ecstatic and she replied.

Juhi: Hi, Vikram. I'm good. How about you?

Unknown to Juhi, it was not Vikram who texted her but his friend Rahul.

When Vikram had put his doubt in front of him, he just shrugged and grabbed his phone. He copied a number on Vikram's and sent the message to it.

When Vikram got a whiff of his doings, he started to chase after him in his condo, they had got there to continue talking.

When Vikram heard his message tone, he lunged at Rahul.

Rahul just raised his hand and said, " Wow, brother, you are quiet excited, aren't you?"

Vikram was trying to get his phone and Rahul was playing hard to get.

When Rahul read the message, " Hi Vikram! I'm good. How about you?"

Vikram increased his efforts.

While Rahul just chuckled and kept his hand on Vikram's face. " Should I reply back to her? Something like - I'm missing you baby! Shall we meet tomorrow?" , Rahul laughed loudly looking at Vikram's widened eyes.

" Rahul, give it back to me!"

Rahul was shaking his head and suddenly he clicked the call button by mistake.

Vikram saw the screen change and so did Rahul. Rahul gulped and Vikram finally grabbed his phone. " You will pay for this.", he narrowed his eyes at Rahul and was about to cut the call, when the phone was answered.

Juhi was caught off guard with the call. She had come back to her room and was reading the message again and again, when she heard her phone ring.

After hesitating for a few seconds she answered the phone,

" Hi!"

A flustered voice greeted her, " Hi, Juhi! How are you?"

Isn't that what he asked her on the message, shrugging she replied.

" I'm good, Vikram. Why did you call?"

" Uh, Juhi...actually it was my friend who accidentally dialled your phone."
He went ahead to explain everything while Rahul was giving mean eyes to his friend.

Juhi laughed out loud and said, " Ok no issues!"

" He is still there?"

" Yes! "

" Oh! I better keep the phone down then, you guys enjoy"

Vikram quickly replied, " Yeah! Uh, Juhi, can I call you back later?"

Juhi was flushing red and she replied, " Yes, but before 12."

He smiled and kept the phone down.

Rahul chuckled at his friend making Vikram turn back to him.

" You! You are paying for this!" and Vikram ran after Rahul making a mental note to trap him with his wife later.
