Vanya's POV
I was sitting in my room after having dinner, listening to music.
Suddenly the music stopped and my phone started ringing indicating a call.
I looked at the called Id and smiled.
"Aaj bade logo ko hamari yaad kaise aa gyi?"
(How come big people remembered us today?)
I say teasingly as I picked up the call. I could swear that she was rolling her eyes.
"Atleast maine call kia. Aapko hum gareeb logo ki yaad kaise aayegi?"
(Atleast I called. You will not even remember us poor people?)
She too teased me and we both chuckle.
We talked about random stuff for about half an hour when I heard AJ's voice from behind her.
"Jo main baat batani thi wo toh batayi nhi hogi I am sure."
(You must not have told the main thing.)
"Oh haan. Achha sun. School reunion ho rha hai next week. Chalegi na?"
(Oh yes. Listen. There is a school reunion next week. Will you come?)
"Umm next week. Kaun kaun aa rha hai?"
(Who all are coming?)
"School ke mostly bache honge hi. Baaki apna pura group toh hai hi."
(Mostly all the people from school. And our group.)
"Group to tu aise bol rhi hai jaise kitne saare log ho. Teen hi toh hai hum."
(You are saying group as if there are so many people. We are only three.)
I say sitting up with my knees to my chest.
"Nope babes. Char."
(Four.)
She said with a hint of amusement in her voice and I frown. Suddenly realising something I sit upright.
"Hippo bhi aa rha hai!"
(Hippo is also coming.)
"Yes meri jaan. Wo bhi aa rha hai."
(Yes my love. He is also coming.)
She said chuckling a little.
"Oh my God! Hum kitne time baad milenge usse. Aane de usse maar khaayega wo. Ek dum se gayab ho gaya bina bataye."
(We will meet after so long. Let him come he will get beating. He left suddenly.)
I laugh excitedly and she too chuckles. We talk nonsense for some time and then disconnect the call.
I slump on the bed with a smile.
My hippo! Kanav! He was my senior in school. But was very quite and reserved because children bullied him about his weight.
Its been 8 years since we last met.
As school finished, he left the city for his graduation. Their farewell was the last day I saw him.
But I am going to see him again. After 8 years. I don't even know how he looks. He had created new profiles on all the social medias and had never posted even a single picture of his own self.
It is always some work related stuff.
How would he look like now? Is he still the cute chubby guy he used to be in school?
Kanav's POV
I have been continuously thinking about her since Ajesh had told me that she would be there too.
How would she react after seeing me? Would she be able to recognise me?
I chuckle and shook my head. I have been going crazy since past week.
I sigh and slump on my bed. She was already so beautiful back then. She must be having a boyfriend already.
'Tera toh koi chance hi nhi hai beta.'
I sigh and close my eyes. Just then my phone pinged.
Time pr pahuch jaio
It was Ajesh's message. I looked at the time and realised that the reunion was in two hours.
I reply with an 'Ok' and got up.
The theme of the party was three piece for men and sarees for girls.
I took out my facourite dark blue three piece suit.
I looked myself in the mirror and set my hair.
I put my favourite cologne and the limited edition rolex watch from my collection.
I look at my final appearance. Hmm! Perfect!
Taking my phone and car keys I move out of the house.
The door has a biometric lock which closes itself.
I sat in my car and drove to the location.
I reached the place in an half an hour. The party was held in a hotel. Quite lavish one.
'Pakka kisi ameer baap ki aulad ne book krwaya hai.'
Its not like I am being judgemental but I know my batchmates. Showoff ki dukaan hai sab ki sab.
I see Ajesh and Misha in the lobby. The two have not changed even a bit. Still side by side.
Misha has her hand around Ajesh's and is looking at the entrance. She looks at me and then looks back at the entrance. Seems like she didn't recognise me.
I smile and move towards them. Ajesh looks at me and then pulls Misha closer.
Possessive bastard!
He continues to glare at me and I continue to smile as I move towards them.
Suddenly his expressions turned to that of recognition and he looked at me wide eyed. I chuckled and he smiled widely.
He comes forward and gives me our brother hand shake and hug.
Misha looks on at us confused.
"Saale! Tu toh hippo se Hritik ban gaya."
(Moron! You became Hritik from hippo.)
Ajesh says and Misha's eyes widens as she looks at me top to bottom.
"Oh my God! Tum toh sach mai bilkul badal gye."
(You changed completely.)
She says still looking at me wide eyed.
Just then we hear her voice.
"Misha! AJ!"
I turn around and there she is. Coincidently we are twinning. She comes waddling towards us trying to stable herself in her saree.
Gosh! She looks so beautiful. So so beautiful.
She hugs Misha and Ajesh too.
She looks at me for a moment and then goes back to talking to Misha.
Ajesh looks at me and we smirk.
Vanya's POV
I was talking to Misha when the man who was standing there suddenly leaned near me and whispered near my ear.
"Heyy!"
I felt goosebumps on my neck and arms due to his hot breath.
What the hell!?
I turn around with anger and push him.
He stumbles a bit but stables himself.
"How dare you? Karne ki kya koshish kr rhe the tum? Tumhe kya lagta hai ki just because tum hot aur good looking ho koi tumhe kuch nhi kahega aur tum jo marzi karoge? Nhi mister. Tum jaante nhi mai kaun hu-"
(What were you trying to do? What do you think just because you are good looking and hot you will do anything? No mister. You don't know who I am-)
"Woah! Woah! Calm down meri dramaqueen!"
He says smiling and my eyes widened. I looked at him open mouthed.
Hippo! He-Oh my God!
"Hippo!"
I squeal excitedly and hug him.
He chuckles and says.
"Mai tumhe hippo kaha se nazar aa rha hu dramaqueen."
(From where do I like a hippo to you dramaqueen.)
He says tapping my forehead with his finger just like he did in school.
I giggle and we all laugh.
We all move towards the party while talking talking and laughing.
I didn't even realise that I was holding Kanav's hand all the way. Maybe because I was really nervous in that saree.
We enter the party and were welcomed by loud music. All the eyes turned to us and I can feel the girls eyeing Kanav.
Huh! Bitches! They used to bully him and now they want his attention.
We started mingling with people. Only if we knew how our lives were about to change forever.
