Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

I was lost in thought that and walking looking down when I bumped into a wall.

'Wait it's not a wall. It's a man with macular chest.'

"Wow..easy girl I know I'm handsome but no need to bump me whenever you see me." I frowned and look up and regret at the same time.

"Hey...Preeti, long time, no see." Dhruv said.

I hate this guy. He is the son of surpanch of village. His father is rich and he is a rich brat.

I step aside to walk from there to avoid him but he blocked my path by taking a step in same direction. I take step another side but he did the same. His friends laugh behind him.

"What kind of a jock it is Dhruv? Let me go." I said with a frown.

Dhruv had a crush on me since childhood. He is boy of every girl of our village wants in their dream. Every girl in village could die for to talk to him. He is always a playboy. He change his girlfriend like his clothes. A person could change but he is the same, a rich brat and I don't like him.

"Oo..come on baby you know I love you. Don't play hard to get, game to me." He said with a sly smile. His friends laugh behind me to encourage him more. He take a step towards me and I take a step back.

"Let me go Dhruv. " I said stepping backward.

"Leave my sister alone... Dhruv." Anshul came between I and Dhruv. I saw anger in Anshul and Aditya's eyes.

"Chill bro..I'm having fun with her." Dhruv said.

"Ooo..really then find your fun in someone else, not in my sister. " Aditya said with an anger.

"Seems like you are not happy to see your rivals number one Aditya." Dhruv said.

"Then let it be between us. Don't bring my sister between us." Aditya said.

"Our family is rivals to each other from decades and you know I have a big crush on Preeti since childhood. She is mine." Dhruv said looking at me giving me a sly smile.

"What did you say huh.." Anshul pushed Dhruv by his chest. Dhruv look at Anshul and Aditya with anger and walked towards them.

Dhruv is ready to punch Anshul but a hand caught Dhruv's hand in air. I looked at the hand and then the owner of the hand. Siddharth stood there holding Dhruv's hand in air.

"Don't you dare to raise your hand to my brothers." Siddharth looked at Dhruv with blood shot anger.

Siddharth leave Dhruv's hand with a jerk. I saw Rohan bhiya and Anit jiju and pulkit jiju behind him. Keerti, Puja, Shivani di, Shikha bhabhi, and Riya di walked toward us.

"Ooo..so you are the guy who is a talk between the girls of village and gave me competition." Dhruv said looking at Siddharth with his dirtiest smile.

"How Agarwals related to you." Dhruv asked Siddharth.

"It's none of your business....and leave my family alone otherwise consequences will be bad for you." Siddharth said with clenched jaw.

"You have guts in your pants. But don't forget I have more guts in my pants." Dhruv said and his friends laugh behind him.

"Give me five minutes. I'll show you who have guts in his pants." Siddharth said.

"Is that your car. A new model of Audi." dhruv said looking towards Siddharth's car.

"Okey...I'll leave Anshul and Aditya for a deal." Dhruv said to Siddharth.

"Which kind of a deal?" Siddharth asked.

"Let's play football match. If I win I want your car and if you win I will never bother your family again, deal.." Dhruv said.

"No, jjju he is a state champion in football you will lose." Puja said from behind. I saw keerti came to Siddharth.

"Bhayi I know you gonna win but if dad comes to know that you put a bet on his favorite car he will have your head between his hand." Keerti whispered to Sid but I heard it.

Siddharth give a smirk to Dhruv and said "deal.."

"Okey we will meet after half an hour with our teams at football ground." Dhruv said and leave from there.
........................................................................

"Why do you have to challenge him. What if we lose. Dad will get angry on you." I said to Siddharth who is walking beside me.

"Don't worry..Nothing is going to happen. Dad will not know about the bet until someone tell him." Siddharth said while holding my hand.

We stopped a little far away from everyone. Keerti is standing beside me.

"Bhabhi bhayi is playing football since he was four and he is football team captain in his high school and college. He became national champion three time in a row." Keerti said.

"I can play football in my sleep." Siddharth said looking at me with a smile.

"Yes it's his first love until you came in his life. It's gonna be fun to see him playing again." Keerti said.

I blushed at her comment and bit my lower lip.

"I should go I need to discuss strategie with others." He said very slowly while looking at my lips. I nodded my head.

"Sid...come here we need to discuss strategies." Pulkit jiju called Siddharth and he walked towards them.
........................................................................

The news is spread like a fire in whole village that a football match is playing between new boy Siddharth and Dhruv. Almost whole village is present in football ground. We all are sitting in a desk in front row.

Siddharth, Anshul, Aditya, Anit jiju, pulkit jiju, Rohan bhiya and five others player who are friends of Rohan bhiya and Aditya are playing. Siddharth is a captain of our team.

I saw Dhruv's team came to the ground and whole crowd cheered up. After that Siddharth's team enter the ground and crowd more cheered up and girls started shouting Siddharth's name.

I saw Siddharth is playing with football alone. He looked so handsome in his blue Jersey. Dhruv's team is in red Jersey.

"Hey...do you look at the guy..the one who is playing with football, his name is Siddharth. He looks so handsome." I heard a girl said beside me. I felt something is burning up inside me. But I ignore it.
