Part 3
"She met Shivam"
Swayam stared at him.
"Do you mean your cousin? But he is 18 years old!"
"Does it matter, beside he's 51% stake holder in Singhani Fashion House"
In a mocking, sarcastic voice Rey went on:
"Let me tell you that all a woman needs to make her happy is money.The man himself is utterly and completely immaterial."
He drain whatever was left in his glass & called the waiter.But fortunately there was on one in the room & Swayam Said:
"Before you get too drunk,tell me the whole story."
"Thanks Swayam!" he relied."I know I can trust you.But I swear to God that I will never trust a woman again."
"But I'm sure Taani doesn't intend to marry Shivam." Swayam said
"She does" Rey replied."And now I look back, I realised that she made a dead set for him the moment she walk in the Singhania mansion.I think Shivam had not got a chance as soon as she looked at him with her large dewy eyes."
Swayam knew it was true.Taani Malhotra was not only beautiful but she had practiced an art of fascinating men & could exert an at most hypnotic influence on anyone she desired.
He had known quite a lot about her before he met Rey & the first time he saw them together he thought it was a mistake for him to become embroiled with her.
Unfortunately for Taani when Rey proposed her her mother had died most inconveniently two months earlier.They had to wait for three months to get married.
"I totally understand Taani"He said."I will do anything you want."
"I love you! I love you!" she had said.
Therefore she accepted Rey proposal and asked him to keep it a secret.
"We have to be careful & at the same time I would love to meet your family"
He smiled.
"I would take you to Singhani mansion tomorrow" he said."I know they would love you."
Then he told her about his family & business.
Rey's father died about fifteen months ago & he missed him so desperately that he gave his fathers place to his uncle.He was sure that his uncle would find her as lovely & as charming as he did.At the same time he needed his approval.
Few days Later...
Rey went to his uncle study.He was talking to his uncle about business & how he had taken everything perfectly in working order for the time when Shivam would inherit it.
"I wish he would take interest in what I'm doing." he said."When you have time talk to him about it."
"I'm sure he appreciates that."he replied."But he is still young & I'm sure in time he will settle down & learn to be as good as business man as you are."
"I hope so, I sincerely hope so."
2 months later...
Taani & Rey were coming back from a party.When Taani sad:
"I want to tell you something Rey."
"What it is, my precious?" he asked."And did I tell you how beautiful you look today."
"Thank you"she replied."But I want you to understand that while I still love you, I can't marry you."
"What do you mean?" Rey asked sharply.
"I don't want you to angry with me"
"I'm not angry with you"he said."But I couldn't understand what are you saying."
"I'm saying that while I love you, I'm going to marry Shivam."
