$ince most of Ull liked the changes in my writing ,I am including them in these shots as well. Let's see how well I do or how miserably I fail while I am out of my comfort zone with regards to writing.😕😕
I am not able to think of any name for this work of mine as the story is not planned yet. So, I've decided dat I will give a different name to every shot of mine as doin dat is comparatively easier.😃😃Also, this 1s quite an insignificant yet imp chappy ..next chapter onwards the story will definitely pace up !! 😊😊
Note -: Please read the entire 3rd shot again as I have rewritten it due to some changes I made in the storyline lately.
3rd Shot - You ??
Tossing himself on the back seat of the car Raghav immediately fetched his phone from his pocket. Narrowing his eyes with disgust to see the amount of missed calls , he punched the call back button & got the phone to his ear
"Whats it that you want mom ?" was the question Raghav asked with the same disgust reflecting in his voice.
"Chintuuu ... Thank u so much for considering my request of staying in an Indian house. This house is lovely, exactly the way I wanted it to be but ... "
The over-excited voice on the other end of the phone call shunned when Gauri heard her son yell "Oh for God's sake, please shut up mom ! You liked it ...fine ! Now cut the call & please don't call me for such petty reasons ever "
With that he slid his phone back in his pocket & threw his head back with exasperation , also allowing it to rest on the soft head rest of the seat. He felt someone's pointed gaze aimed at him as he turned his head right & exclaimed
"What ? She should understand that I am a busy man...I haven't done anything wrong, so stop staring at me that way !"
Sammy sighed. He had always noticed Raghav speaking rudely to his mom & had even tried to make him realize that ... But alas ! He was way arrogant to actually listen to someone. Koi Nahi ! Let's try 1 more time ..
" Raghav you shouldn't ..."
"Cut the crap Sammy. I am in no moods of listening to your 'ideal son' speeches. Now just tell this driver to drive a bit faster. I am tired !" He then shut his eyes so Sammy could speak no further.
Silence fell upon them, except for the small huff that Sammy gave before getting interested in counting the running street lights of the Mumbai highway. Raghav isnt a bad man ! Sammy could say so confidently as they had spent their entire youth together, a fun-filled youth indeed ! Raghav was no less than an extra extra charged live wire back in their high school days. The hot-shot heir of the Singhaniya empire ...girls couldn't help but try & hit on him due to his money , fame & good looks ofcourse ! But the charged wire was grounded the day his dad passed away leaving behind a heap of responsibilities. & that was the day when the normal guy Raghav was veiled forever under the arrogant , cruel businessman Raghav Singhaniya.
Sammy was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt a jerk. The car had stopped as they had reached their destination. Very soon the handsome duo stood outside a huge wooden door that would lead them to their place of stay for the next 2 weeks. The door opened after they had rung the bell. There stood Prem. Raghav smirked on seeing him yet helpless , but also wondered why as he entered.
"Beta Prem ! What is the problem now. It was your manager who escorted me to this apartment in the morn. & now you say I cannot stay here & you wish to shift us to some hotel ... "
Raghav looked around the entire house. And for some reason he was impressed by its simplicity & class. It was somewhat of his taste !! And then he looked at Prem who was trying to convince his mom to not stay there , but why ? He cared a damn ,so he thought of remaining a silent spectator while his obstinate Mom & a helpless Prem spoke. Oh ... How he was loving to see Prem so helpless !!
& finally Gauri won as she declared " I am staying here for the next 2 weeks & that's final. I hope I'm clear !! " Those words were the last ones Gauri uttered before walking to the guest room as Prem followed along with Sammy .
Raghav who was least bothered as to where was he gonna stay for the coming weeks stuffed his hands in his pockets & gracefully marched to the huge leather couch to have himself seated. He was about to sit when he heard a noise 'khat khat' as he looked at the door. Yes ! It was being unlocked. As his fingers played with the bracelet of the 'insult woman' that lay in his pocket he waited for the door to open
And it did.
"Rohish come here this mome..." Kalpana stopped when she saw a 6 feet figure standing near the couch. Her eyes widened with horror.
Shock would be small word to describe Raghav as well as Kalpana's condition who stood at the door.
" You ??"
Raghav withdrew his hands from his pocket & crossed him across his chest , his body now in an angle so it was seen by Kalpana entirely. As for Kalpana, her fingets yet held onto the key as they again had that simultaneous question moment
"What are you doing here ?"
Decreasing the distance between them Kalpana spoke "What do u mean by that ? This is my house ...o no ...r u Raghav Singhaniya ? ... " The latter part of the sentence being more of like an inaudible croak.
"What do u mean by this is your house ...
Their respective sentences left incomplete as they yelled out in unison.
"Prem !"
"Mr Kapoor "
Those voices got Prem running to them like a baffled mouse as he now stood in front of Kalpana & Raghav.
"I am not going to stay in this downmarket woman's house. " said Raghav aiming one of his furious gazes at Kalpana.
"Mind your language Mr. And As for your decision of not staying in this house , that's the only sensible thing I have heard from your arrogant mouth since morn ..." Kalpana saw Raghav get closer as he stopped when he was just some foot & a half away from her. His huge body towering above her meek one , but that didn't scare Kalpana Vittha Jadhav even an ounce.
Then bending slightly he spoke in a ferocious husky tone "Nobody dares to speak to Raghav Singhaniya in this manner ! I will make you pay for this ...& mind u , this time it will be worser than an apology in front of an entire crowd...& I promise u that. "
Before Kalpana could say anything further Raghav had already turned & headed to the guest room saying "Mom pack ur bags. We are not staying here .."
Perhaps it was one of Kalpana's patience test days as she looked at Raghav walking in the interiors of 'HER' house. She sighed , atleast he was heading in to get out of her house for ever & ever. Thank God !
Maybe Kalpana doesn't know Mariee...So expect the expected in '4th Shot - The Walk !' Hopefully I am able to put it up soon...& a longer 1 next time.
& yes ...ek mahatwapurn suchana - it is impossible for me to finish this thing off in the next chap. So the no. of chaps is definitely gonna exceed,apologies ! 🤢🤢
