"Oh Romeo, Romeo, WHY are you ROMEO?
Discard your parents and disown your name.
Or if you won’t do that, tell me you love me and I’ll no longer be called Capulet.  " a radiant smile conceals my soft features as my orbs remain constantly fixed at my own face through the full length mirror in my room .

"What if your father kills the boy dear juliet " My best friend's voice rings into my ears plucking me roughly out of my thoughts .

"Heer Quit maffling nonsense , will you ? " I pick my bag and costume from the table .

" Unless our juliet's dad is a strict Politician who cares about his reputation more than anything else" she gets up reluctantly from my bed . Her pink coloured bag loosely hanging to her right shoulder . My best friend is another name for rebel . Heer Mandhana , her family's princess is a spoilt brat . Being a single child like me , she has never been denied for anything . We all have been brought up in a very posh environment where thankfully we didn't see much struggle . Especially me , it's just that my Papa Shivay Riachand ,is a dictator but I love him . It's not his fault actually, his life is like an open book to the media and for an Indian politician,  his Prestige is all he earned .

"I'm juliet only for the day,  in school play Madam Mandhana . So shhh , alright"

She smiles and combs her hair with her long, pink-nailed fingers , bending closer to the mirror . "There is a lot that you have no freaking idea about "

" and what is it " I fold my script and place it in my bag . All of our family members are coming to the school just to watch my play . It's my last year , or probably last day in high school . It is basically, the year's last event before I get admitted in college .

"Rey will kill me if I say another word" she performs a long eye-roll while we walk down the stairs . Reyansh kiaan Raghuvanshi, the monster in town is the only and only thing everyone wishes not to cross paths with, every freaking day and to my friend's dismay  , he's her cousin .

I find my Masterchef mum in the kitchen.  She's a well renowned chef while my dad is in politics. Her sense of style and her class is always a trend setter for us . She smiles and questions "Heer  are you still on a diet sweetheart , your mom told me "

"Ohh yes and I've been urging her to join the gym with me but she doesn't agree to anything I say " she complains forcing me to add "he told me not to"

"Who" they both ask together although they know .
" obvio---"
The door to my papa's room opens making me shiver in my shoes . He struts out dressed in black trousers and white button down that suits his masculine and daunting personality. The most intimidating politician , the most strict parent .

"Who "he eyes me with nothing but the same cold face .

I look at mom for a second and clutch my phone tightly in my hand " papa I was talking ab-about D-daksh"

As usual he now clenches his jaw and slowly nods . He raises his hand and I flinch squeezing my eyes before his hand stops at my head.

"Keep him at bay" he smiles and I nod instantly.  He stays away himself . Daksh is not like others . I don't have a word to describe what he means to me because of my papa's disliking towards him and his family  but he certainly will never ever harm me. I can bet my life on it .

"She'll forget all her dialogues if you keep frightening my daughter like that Shiv " my mum hugs me from the side .

"Ohh I certainly didn't mean to . Best of luck Siara " he smiles and I smile back. I don't know the last time my papa hugged me . In order to keep the mafia family away from me , he distanced himself from me and I hate this feeling.  I hate it .

If I ever have to choose between them and him , he knows my answer but still these doubts in his mind,  break my heart . They break me .

"Oh she's there" I hear aunt ishani and I instantly turn around with so much happiness. She's my favorite , her dressing sense,  her ways of seeing life , everything.  She's me .

I hug her and uncle kiaan , the most coolest parent I've ever seen comes following her .

" we came to wish you luck " she utters and I know my papa is not happy to see Reyansh's family . He doesn't like mafias . He loathes them and since the time he came into politics,  his hatred towards them grew .

"I brought you this " she ties an absolutely beautiful pearl bracelet on my hand . I'm obsessed with pearls like anything, like anything .

"Thank you so much aunt ishani" I hug her .

"Can you please not call me aunt " she pulls a face making me and uncle Kiaan laugh.
"You're too cute for an aunt"

"We'll be coming to school with your dad and my best friend " uncle kiaan says and papa counters " Absolutely not "

"Now they'll start bickering let's go - let's go ,we're getting late " heer drags me outside and we're out of the Mansion. 
Getting inside the car , my phone dings with a text making my heart fill with joy . A text from Daksh .

Mr Savior : costume, script ,extra lip tint , hair spray and pins in case of emergency .

Siara: shit ! I forgot the lip tint but it's okay I already have it on.

Mr Savior : no worries I'll get it .

Siara : which shade ?

Mr Savior: I'll get all .

I laugh and place my phone back . Daksh has been the closest to me forever even when Heer is my best friend . That's why I say, he's different from others . From saving me from getting bullied to bearing papa's anger for me , he's truly my Savior and the crush of half the girls in high school  and College.  The other half of girls must be crazy because they want Reyansh but for Daksh , I'll choose the best girl . As perfect as he is . Infact , I already know such a girl.

Siara: I have a surprise for you after the play.

Mr Savior : I will be waiting rabbit .

I smile and text the girl I want him to meet . She's even more excited . They both will make a great pair .

"I found a girl for D " I utter and heer spits out the water she was drinking.

"Heer" I eye her with shock .

"What nonsense did you just say?"

"I f-found a g-girl--"

She begins laughing out loud and looks absolutely crazy doing so ."I'll be excited to see how he reacts to you finding him a girl "
