Part 11
At the Singhania's Office
the deafening silence that reign in Raghav's cabin was roaring! Sammy eyed the pair of them as Raghav went round the desk, unbutton his jacket and took his seat in his usual arrogant style. no shake hands, no greetings were exchanged. you say about a charged atmosphere. it sizzled!
" what honor me your presence Mr. Kapoor?" drawled Raghav as he browsed on his phone without looking at Prem.
" formal,huh?" smirked Prem as he shifted his stance in his seat. " actually, i'm here to wish both of you for your wedding. hasty it was though, nevertheless, i'm here to share your happiness. Congrats Raghav. Kalpi! excellent choice i must say." having said so,Prem extended his hand to greet Raghav but he remained wary and eyed his offered hand.
"kalpana. its Kalpana for you. and thank you!" he relented and shook briefly his hand in a firm grip.
"no, no! it won't work like this. see, my sister, Pooka's wedding and her best friend's...it calls for a party! Raghav, you believe it or not, but Kalpi, i mean to say kalpana holds a special meaning to me and her wedding needs to be celebrated. what say, Sammy?" asked an eager Prem.
Raghav clenched his fists when he heard Prem saying Kalpi holds a special meaning to him. just what does he mean by that? and since when did Prem kapoor cared for Jadhav?
"yeah, not a bad idea. in fact, i talked to Paakhi some few days back about a a reception at a banquet hall maybe, but there's been so much happening lately that it slipped out our mind." Sammy said with regret.
"Okay, done then. tonight, 7 pm sharp, Great View Banquet Hall. reception of Samar-Paakhi and Raghav-Kalpi..i mean Kalpana. Don't worry about the invites, decorations and caterers, it shall all be taken of. see you all tonight then!" Prem got up in a rush and made his way to the door, leaving a stunned Sammy and a dubious Raghav in his wake.
"oh, by the way, for cake, pooka loves mint choco chip cake and for Kalpi, i mean Kalpana, i'll order her all time favorite orange cake. fine by you Sammy and Raghav?" asked Prem Kapoor.
Sammy nodded and Prem left the office with a devilish grin as he saw how Raghav was fuming and was turning as red as a turnip in his rage.
"A reception? seriously Sammy? and that too organised by Prem kapoor? am not in, i'm telling you already. there is no way am letting my Kalpi to be near that fellow. he's weird and something not right with him. what is this? kalpi's favorite orange cake, kalpi having a special meaning to him?no, i'm not coming to this reception. Period!" Raghav's outburst did nothing to Sammy as he's used to this, often.
"calm down raghav. its only a Reception. and that too, mine, your best buddy's and of yours. you worry about Prem? ha, its your reception and knowing you, you'll stick to kalpi's side like glue, no chance you'll let any male approach her, let alone my bro in law. please agree." Prem allowed Raghav to mull over his words and eventually he nodded but warned him:
" any mishap and i'll leave the party ASAP"
'nothing wrong will happen, mark my words. its a changed Prem kapoor you've met today. My saala he is now. now get to move and inform your dear wife about the party and i'll inform my better half too. 7 pm sharp it is then" having said so, both guys headed back to their wives to get ready for their reception.
