Singhania Mansion,

A girl is seen sitting in front of the mirror setting her makeup. She's dressed in a nice white and pink long frock, giving her classical girl look. She's Naira.

Just then a boy enters the room, when she saw the boy she got up from chair and went to him.

"Bhai!" She said being irritated.

"Aww, my sister is looking like a princess!" Naksh compliments her.

"Bhai, please!" She said being frustrated and sat on the dressed chair.

"Naira, I know what you're feeling. But please not today, not this time!" Naksh said.

"Bhai, atleast you don't react like this. "

"Naira, now you can't deny it. You've been cancelling these marriage proposals on your study conditions. Now that your studies are done, you've to do this."

"Bhai, this one last. I swear last one."

"For God sake, Naira, you've rejected 100 of boys and God knows how!"

"Bhai, last one. I swear I'll say yes to the next one."

"Naira, have you forgotten the last night's conversation with papa?"

Flashback,

"Princess, now I hope, that you're ready for marriage."

"No, papa! Please."

"Princess, I've been listening to you since the last two years. You've made me enough embarrassed by insulting the guests who came with marriage proposal for you."

"But papa...

"Now, I don't need any excuses. I want my kids to be settled in their lives as soon as possible. Naksh is married and now it's your turn"

"Papa, please..

"No, discussions. I don't need any complaints tomorrow. They're coming tomorrow to see you and I hope that you'll respect my words. They're close friend of mine, I don't want to be insulted infront of them because of you."

Flashback Ends.

"Naira, you'll be happy with him. The boy lives in US only. He's your age fellow too. His name is Kartik. He just completed his studies as you did. You're a graphic designer. You can find a good job in US. You always wanted to study abroad, that wasn't possible. But now, it is. You can find a good job there. Moreover, his family lives in India. They're going to live in India only. You gonna marry him and then settle in US with him."  He said trying to make her understand the fact.

"Hmm, means marriage with benefits!"

Naksh chuckled,
"Yes, now think about it because you can't run away this time or you know papa's anger. Please don't let him embarrass this time.
Okay, now, I've to go to check the preparations. They'll be coming anytime."
He said and left the room.

"I swear, I'll make his life a living hell."
She yelled back.

"Kartik". She sighed.

Goenka Mansion,

A boy is seen using his phone sitting in his room. He's Kartik. Just then another boy enters his room, he's a teenager.

"Bhai, you ready?" Shubham asked Kartik.

"Hmm". He replied ignoring him.

"I wonder, how you said yes for marriage? I mean The Kartik Goenka is getting married, I mean arrange marriage?"

"Just stop your nonsense, we all know why I agree to this marriage."

"Yeah, because of dadi. But are you really gonna marry her?"

"I've to. I so wish I never came back to India."

Flashback starts,

"Kittu, now that you've finished your studies. I think you should get marry."

"What? No! Not now."

"Why? What's the problem? You've finished your studies and you can handle Goenka business in US. We've a branch there too."

"Dadi, I don't want to get marry please."

"Kittu, it's my wish and you're denying me? Do you think I will decide something that is not good for you?"

"Dadi, I know you'll always decide good for me. But I'm not ready."

"I never thought, that you'll deny me. You're now grown up you know what's good and what's bad for you. Now, you don't need your dadi."

"Dadi, I never said this..

"Today, you hurt me by your words. You can't even complete my one wish. I just wanted to see you get married before my demise. But I think it's not possible."

"Dadi, please. Okay, fine. I'm ready."

Flashback Ends,

"I've heard that the girl is very pretty. Her name is Naira. I'm sure you're going to like her".
He said teasingly and ran from his room.

"I swear, I'll make her life a living hell."
He yelled back as she did.

"Naira" he sighed.

________________________

Goenka's got in their cars and drove to Singhania Mansion.

Kartik's thoughts,
She belongs to a respectable family, she'll be like typical girls, timid character and all. It'll be easy for me if she'll be like silent girls. I'll easily make her understand my terms. Because I can't leave without marrying or else Dadi will start her emotional drama again.

They reached Singhania Mansion. They greeted Singhania's. Suwarna aksed for Naira. Just then Keerti came with Naira.

Kartik didn't looked at her even she didn't bothered. Her eyes were stuck on the floor giving her all the typical shy girls feel.

Hmm, she looks like a shy girl. That is better, I don't want a talkative girl or the girl who talks back. Just a girl who accept my terms without even asking or saying her conditions.

Just then, Naitik suggested them to talk in personal. They both went to Naira's room.

Naira sat on bed while Kartik sat on couch.

Kartik sighed,
Listen,... Before he could complete his sentence he was interrupted by her.

"No, you listen to me". She said while putting her one leg over the other.
"If you think that I'm interested in you or in marrying you. Then, you're so wrong. Let me make it very clear, I'm doing this only because my Papa wants. I can't deny him.
I'm not interested in whatsoever marriage."

He was shocked to see her like. He was thinking her to be a timid girl but she's completely opposite.

"Now, you listen to me. If you think I'm interested in you, then you're wrong too. I'm doing this just because of my Dadi. It's her wish. I can't deny her just like you.
I'm only marrying because I can't go back to US until I'm married and I can't live in India."
He said in the same attitude as she did.

"And I'm marrying because I wanted to study abroad but it wasn't in my luck. Now, that I want to job abroad. That's the benefit I'm seeing or else I'm not interested in you!"

"So, we both are trapped in family's black mailing."

"Yeah, family sucks

"It fucking sucks!
Anyways, let's make a deal then. We're only marrying because we're forced. So, after marriage, you'll not behave like wives. You'll not ask me about anything, where I'm going, with whom im going, when'll I return and all!"
He said meeting her eyes.

"And you, you'll have no authority over me. You'll also not ask me anything. We'll both live our lives separately. No interruption in each other's life."
She said with the same attitude.

"Yeah and after a few months, when we'll be settled in our lives, we'll break our marriage. We'll make it up that we're not compatible with each other.
So, deal?"
He asked forwarding his hand.

"Deal!" She replied meeting her hand with his.

"Okay, now you go and tell them that you're ready because I've to behave like a shy girl!"
She said and rolled her eyes.

"Double faced!" He said sarcastically.

"Like you aren't!"She said with the same tone.

Whatever! He rolled his eyes and they both left the room.

They told their families that they're ready. (Idk what happens next when marriage is fixed so skipping)

Then, their marriage got fixed after 3days as Kartik has to return to US.

The Goenka's left and everyone at Singhania's started congratulating Naira but she just rolled her eyes and went to her room as this marriage meant nothing to her. It's just a deal of few months.
