As she picked up a beige colored long crumpled silhouette she smiled on the fact that she was Cordinating color with the that person on whose name the toast of the evening would be rose. Her lips curved in an iconic lopsided smile as she looked at her reflection in the mirror clad in exquisite robes. She quickly picked up her chocolate truffle colored lip color and applied it dark on her lips. A golden ear cuff with a sand brown stone decorated her one ear while another had a diamond stud. She walked into the grand hall as her dress sweeped on the carpet holding a golden clutch.All eyes in the party turned in awe towards this stunning beauty. She walked straight onto the stage amidst desperate, anxious, hateful and Lusty glances waiting for those sharp glances of silently violent orbs which showed none of those above mentioned qualities but had all of them as well. As a man entered into the arena an aura of piousness surrounded the environment. His locks were swayed by the calm breeze that surrounded him while women were swayed by his mere presence.
Omkara joined Swetlana on the stage without casting a glance on her. He could only see a blurred, fuzzy, shining image of a perfectly carved feminine figure and without a second thought joined her. He stood beside her all the while but din't bother about her. They smiled at all the guests.
"I expected Rudra to join the party. I thought he would have a great time. He does attend all my partys. " Swetlana said to Om while waving at her friends who just arrived the party arena.
Om while helping himself with a glass of red wine looking dubiously on the glass answered " Well it's a clause if you have forgotten! My family would stay away from our anniversary partys ".
Swetlana laughed to cover her remorse. In all the years she had developed a good professional rapport with Omkara and Rudy. She really enjoyed the cute antics of Rudy and his sense of "logic" and not to forget Soumya's logistics /survey reports. Soumya never judged her on the professional front and in office she was a highly efficient person to both Rudy and Sumo.
A closed corner of her heart wished if this was a professional party so that the both of them would be around. She never expected them to converse with her but just wanted them around.
Quickly breaking the chain of thoughts she enquired Omkara if he was bored. He answered with a smile without looking at her.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen! I won't speak much on marriage and it's ethics. All I would like to say is that hate isn't the opposite of love, indifference is! When you know that no matter what the emotion is you feel it in extremity for any person you know he is yours! Here's raising a toast on the name of my person Omkara" saying so Swetlana rose a toast.
Omkara refused to speak a word and walked away as soon as most of the guests left the party. Swetlana looked at Omkara leaving the party and getting into a car in which Gauri was waiting. Her smile grew broader to mask the inner turmoil.
As her BMW stopped before the long cremello gate the flash lights fell on the golden name plate on which "Swetlana Omkara Singh Oberoi" was etched in black. It shone in the moonlight and flash light just made it brighter.
She entered the door step to be welcomed by her love Neyrys. She went knelt down before her black colored German Sheppard. She ran her fingers along his fur and both of them went to her grape yard where she cut a cake with her Neyrys.
As she entered her room she realized she left her pillow in Omkara's room. She advanced towards his room in her dark blue satin night robes. He was reading a book while she stood before his mirror looking at herself. She opened her hair and started combing when she could feel the presence of a tall man behind her.
He pulled out the draw beside the mirror and took a chain with a pearl pendent. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and put the pendent chain on her cleavage and pulled it up slowly. She shrugged. He could feel her slight gasp which she tried to mask and smiled slightly. He then sharply threw a glance at her in the mirror and she melted into a million pieces. Both of them were looking at each other in the mirror while swetlana tried her best not to fall weak on her knees. Om slightly whispered in ears brown lips are the sexiest. She melted on the fact that he observed her in the party. Seductively she said "The present is lovely" still looking at the mirror.
He then pushed back the strands of hair that fell on her face and tucked them behind her ear.
He then whispered again in her ears " It's 12:00 and next year by this time you shall be Swetlana Kapur ".
That last statement left her dumbstruck and she left his room in a bizarre state. She ran into her room and shut the door tightly. Quickly she threw all the clothes from the cupboard to look and got the contract file.
She dreaded to open it and yet opened it gathering courage to read the clauses.
