Vansh Gupta was the younger brother of Veer Gupta. Being the less smarter one he had always felt neglected and hence was always insecure about himself.

His insecurity reached its peak when his best friend chose his brother over him. The best friend he thought he was in love with.

Since they were kids she was the only girl who had genuinely cared for Vansh for what he was. And he had developed a soft corner for her which he thought to be love.

So when Charvi got married to his brother and confessed that she had actually loved him whole life and did not think about Vansh in the way he thought he was angry and insecure.

He started distancing himself and drifting away from everyone. He thought that he had yet again lost to his brother.

It was after Charvi had confronted him that he had thought deeply about it and realised that he actually didn't love her like he thought he did.

She was right. If he truly loved her he would he happy in her happiness but he wasn't. He felt insecure and angry because he thought he lost his best friend too.

And boy! How wrong he was. He did realise that apologized sincerely.

He felt like a idiot for hurting her and his brother. And he was thankful that his brother didn't kill him for hurting and making his wife cry.

It's been almost two years since Veer and Charvi have been married and Vansh was now ready to get married.

He too wanted someone like his father had his mother and his brother had Charvi.

He too wanted something like they did. Something beautiful and pure. Something like true love.

Which is why his mother had on his insistance started looking for a suitable girl for him.

Yes! He wanted to go for an arranged marriage. His mother showed him many biodatas daily out of which he rejected some and some the bride side rejected.

So no suitable alliance had been found till now.

He was in office when he recieved his mother's call. He came out and took her call.

"Ek biodata aur picture bheja hai check kr ke bata."

(I have sent one biodata and picture check and tell me.)

He hummed and checked his phone.

Mansi Tayal.

He read the name and her details. When he was satified that she was suitable enough for him he downloaded the picture and damn!

He was smitten. She was so beautiful. What he found the most attractive was the small mole at the side of her lip.

"Vansh!"

He heard his mother's loud voice and he came out of his reverie. He forgot that she was still on call.

His cheek redened and he thanked God that she couldn't see his face.

He cleared his throat and said.

"Haan? Umm-unke yaha se koi reply aaya abhi?"

(Yes? Umm is there any reply from their side yet?)

He asked slowly. His insecurities coming back.

"Haan unhone haan kia tabhi maine dikhaya tujhe. Ab tu bta. Phir ek meeting rakh lete hai."

(Yes they said yes that's why I showed you. Now you tell. Then we'll keep a meeting.)

"Haan rakh lo. Mujhe koi problem nhi hai."

(Yes keep it. I don't have any issues.)

He said too eagerly mentally dancing that she had said yes. That means she liked him right.

His mother chuckled and he rubbed his neck sheepishly.

"Thik hai. Baat krti hu."

(Ok. I'll talk.)

She disconnected the call and he sighed dreamily.

"Mansi!"

He whispered and a goofy smile formed on his face.

He went inside still grinning. He smile dropped seeing his colleagues looking at him weirdly. He cleared his throat and smiled formally turning back to his screen while cursing himself mentally.

He reached home with the goofy smile still on his lips.

He smile again vanished seeing Charvi sitting in the living room with a teasing smile.

He groaned mentally knowing he was in for a teasing session.

"Chup chup khade ho zarur koi baat hai. Pehli mulakat hai ye pehli mulakat hai."

(You are standing so silently there is definitely something. Its your meet.)

She sang wiggling her eyebrows and his cheeks redened while he looked away grumbling.

"Shut up!"

"*Gasp* Tu blush kr rha hai?"

(You are blushing?)

She asked unbelievably and immediately got up.

"Mai Veer ko bta ke aati hu ki tu blush bhi krta hai."

(I am going to tell Veer that you blush too.)

She said and started running to her room making Vansh panick.

No! His brother is not going to let him live down with it. He would die with his teasing.

"Nhi! Charu ruk!"

(No! Charu wait!)

He yelled behind her and she stopped turning around.

"Kyu kya hua Vansh?"

(Why what happened Vansh?)

She asked with a teasing smile and he groaned closing his eyes.

"Bhai ko nhi batayegi tu. Ye best friends ke beech ki baat hai. Besties code mat tod."

(You won't tell bhai. This is between us best friends. Don't break besties code.)

She thought for a moment making Vansh sigh in relief.

"Tune mujhe koi secret thodi na bataya hai. Toh bestie code ki baat hi nhi hai. Veer!"

(You haven't told me any secret. There is no point of bestie code.)

She ran away yelling and Vansh ran towards his room to save himself but im vain.

The moment he reached in front of his room's door his brother came out from his room and called his name.

"Vansh!"

He turned groaning and Veer chuckled.

"So its true! You do blush!"

He teased leaning on the door and Vansh looked away. Was he really that red?

"Control yourself Vansh. Kahi aisa na ho ki ladki wale confuse ho jaaye ki ladki tu hai ya unki beti."

(May not the bride's family gets confused whether you are the girl or their daughter.)

"Shut up!"

He grumbled and ran to his room making his brother and Charvi laugh.

He slumped on his bed and a smile started forming on his face again.

He looked at himself in the mirror and chuckled. He really was blushing. His ears were all pink.

He opened his phone and clicked on her picture again.

A dreamy expression formed on his face as he whispered her name softly.

"Mansi!"

He again slumped on the bed while admiring her picture. He was really excited and restless to meet her.

He prayed to God that the meeting goes well and she too likes him. For the first time he had genuinely liked someone so much.

He knew it was attraction but he wanted to experience that beautiful feeling with her. The feeling of love.
