TAMING OF THE SHREW-(RTMC)FF NEW PART PG 34 - Page 5

"We are there sir", prompted the manager from the front sit via the intercom. Soon the door of black and shiny limousine were unlocked by the chauffeur. Prithvi stepped out from the limo at the centre amongst the fleet , a heavy-duty vehicle with reinforced panels and bulletproof glass, built to withstand a missile attack. He was looking devastatingly handsome with the impeccably fitted sherwani and the deep neck giving glimpse of the immaculate chest muscles was the cherry on the top of the ice cream.He moved towards the Mansion and was greeted by the Aisha's father Ram singhania

The sound of the fleet of limousines moving towards the parking space gathered aisha's attention who was hopelessly sitting on the couch as if someone had kidnapped her;this was no reference to her upcoming wedding but fact that she was tethered in fabric though it wasn't typical saree the feeling that a drape of cloth clinging on her body kind was weird different from "her casual" dressing sense,luckily it was pinned well by Priya. And to add to it she was sipping sweet lime juice with straw. Priya's notion bride might starve to death but the make-up is not supposed to be smudged hence the straw. So in short she resembled as if someone has held her hostage shackled in the piece cloth and was feeding her, her being depressed charade was giving this act a plausible look. The inginition sound of engines irritated her but she was so not in a mood to get up . "pri pri hand me some cotton or pass me my headphones" aisha's bawled out. "can't u sit quite even for a moment" Priya uttered coming out the the washroom, "now wats wrong?".

Aisha -Can u pls stop the noise coming from outside.

Priya-Wat noise. Wat u expect .there is gonna be a wedding in almost an hour and ur r whining abt the noise

Aisha-Atleast check the hell going on outside.

Priya- F9

Priya peeked through window and was thrilled

Priya -Omg ash u gotta see, come up her. ASH

Aisha- (she got up)Chill,coming don't act as if aliens descended in their UFO'S to invade the earth. Wat it is?

Priya- Look(she pointed at the fleet of limousines)

Aisha-Wat the hell. Has the President of America arrived to attend the ceremony

Priya-dumbo ! its your to be hubby. Just look the cars .he is indeed a big shot.

Aisha-(listlessly)yikes stereotypical limousines! He might be a big shot but no sense of choice. Aleast should have got a proper SUV, BMW OR Ferrari. Or fleet of bikes wud have been really stunning. U know I so into bikes.

Aisha's oratation abt how she hates her to be hubby's modes of transportation was interjected by the sound knocking on the door.

Priya - come in!

A old figure in his late 50's peeped through and entered the room with a pleasant smile and happy glint in his eyes dressed in simple sherwani

Priya and aisha happily squealed

Priya- dad

Aisha-uncle

He approached aisha and lovingly spread his hand over her head

And spoke "U r looking beautiful"

Aisha-Uncle for that u gotta give the entire credit to u r daughter.

Priya-No dad she is just being modest. I just helped her clean up.

Priya whispered to aisha "Like a mommy cleans the child after comes home after playing in mud"

Aisha gave her fake anger look.

Priya 's dad uttered emotionally "U really look like u r mother. She wud have been really happy if she was here"

Aisha- (cheering him up and hugging him) o uncle wat if she is not u r here and pri is wid me.

She murmured in his ears "As u know u r daughter is a full fleged version of "MOMZILLA" so I don't think I need any more of a mom". They BOTH GIGGLED

Priya seemed annoyed she knew they were making fun of her.So she exclaimed , "hey both of u stop laughing on me. And dad com'on don't u have to attend the guests. U know in this house nothing will function properly if u were not there to guide "

Aisha- o miss"bridesmaidzilla" don't u order my uncle like that . He can talk me as long he wants. First he is my uncle then your dad

Aisha needed to be corrected in this statement ,he wasn't just her uncle apart from being Priya's dad. Mr Deepak rathore was not just her uncle.But was her nanny, her mother , father figure in absence of her busy father which was more than often along with being the head butler of the house. The load of this multifigure job was always shared by Priya.They both always provided for aisha in any way possible.Guess aisha was so lucky to choose her family unlike others who get a pair of parent from birth. Her uncle cum father ,coach etc and priya cum lot of things at the current situation apart from being all the "zilla" monsters and her famous avatArs i.e. miss know it all n others; she was her sister and the only true friend.

Priya- wat did u call me

Deepak - both of u stop it.

Looking towards aisha with teary eyes;he cupped her face and kissed her forehead.Priya had tears of joys

Deepak- Aisha, God has a reason for allowing things to happen; we may never understand his wisdom but we simply have 2 trust his will.

God bless you all the way. May the angels protect you from every sorrow and even a bad dream.May happiness always surround you and may God always bless you.

Aisha hugged him. But the sight of a man standing at the door stole the natural happiness on her face.

"I hope u r ready" a stiff voice asserted neither with concern nor questionably just a plain statement. Seeing him priya and her father excused themselves from the room so that their master Mr RAM Singhania cud talk to "his only" daughter. The figure well-dressed in black business suit moved towards aisha. Aisha looking elsewere not atall intenting for any eye contact replied , "yup ;can't u see".

Ram-I can see.The choice of colour , the jewellery...

Aisha-so did u expect me to be dressed as a typical bride in red

Ram- (grumpily)if typical doesn't suit u atleast don't act deranged.Here (HE HANDED OVER RING BOX TO HER) .Take care of it don't lose it.I want u to be at ur best behaviour ,lot of VIP guests r present downstairs so don't u dare misbave

Aisha- yes dad (aisha obliged as though a cadet replies to his commander)

Instructing his daughter he left, aisha banged the door after he left making sure he didn't notice that,and she was infuriated.

"don't act deraged" wat the hell he thoughtof his daughter as a lunatic!

Aisha always fumed up when her father instructed her as if he owned her.Generally fathers are strict and instruct their daughters .But this so wasn't the case here. He was her father for namesake .Aisha never saw her father to be concern about her neither on grounds of studies or her happiness or her well being .All aisha knew her father did was he signed her cheques to clear her credit card bills.Ofcourse not quitely but always with taunt to remind her how she spend his hard earn money.But that didn't bothered her from spending it. Money was one thing her father provided and she whole heartedly expected the fact that her father was nothing more than ATM machine to her. And as love was concern she already had two people she loved a lot and they loved her back without any expectation.

But apart from all the fact abt not giving a damn abt her father; now she was really pissed. She threw the box on the bed.She seriously needed a drink now.She opened the cupboard's drawer,which was empty,slowly raised its fake bottom and took out the bottle of vodka,she very thoughfully hid it from her MOM N BRIDE "ZILLA"who took a lot effort to clear aisha's room before the ceremony .But was unable to locate the hidden stock.

Aisha fetched her third generation ipod which was half the size of her index finger along with the latest zigbee headphones which were so small that they resembles 2 black marbles.Ash always made sure she the latest technology as far her electronic toys were considered

Aisha eased on the couch, plugging her ears with the headphones and turned on the music , she pinned the ipod which was even smaller than the pen drive in her bangle (it meant she hung it as a pen top on her metal bangles), grabbed the half empty sweet lime juice glass ,poured the vodka in it and began to seep it with the straw forgetting was currently going on. Music and a drink. Heaven for her. After finishing more than half the bottle ,she hid it behind the couch and straighten herself on the couch with pillow under her head , closing the eyes she continued listening to the music.
