PART SIX
"What the f*ckin sh*t Bhavya almost screamed. "That man has set rules and guidelines for you to follow Bhavya completed. She was just sitting and sipping her coffee. "Will you say something?... Wait.. Don't tell me you agreed to all of this stupid stuff her eyes were on Gauri. "What do you think I had an option of? she answered. "Gauri, it's too much.. That man is already committed to someone there was no reaction on her face.
"Say something damn it she banged the table. "What do you want me to say? I already know that she shrugged leaving Bhavya shocked. "And still you are ready to marry him? Gauri's eyes finally shifted to Bhavya. "As I said and I am clear about it, we are just pretending she shrugged again.
"And you think it is easy, don't you? Bhavya narrowed her eyes. "Obviously it is. And since I know he is already with someone it would be easier for me she sipped her coffee. Bhavya sighed "it is not as simple as you think it will be Ri. Believe me, staying with a man under the same roof in the same room is not a game. You both are not playing, you are pretending a man and his wife. Take it seriously Ri, think about it her expressions were still neutral. "Look Bhavya, I already told you that I am doing this no matter what. Jo hona hai hone de, I am not backing off anyway. It is for maa and at any cost I am not going to compromise with her health she stood up and both walked out of the coffee shop.
"So you actually signed the deal Rudra sighed. "Yes, I did he answered. "And you still are on your thoughts about the girl? frankly Rudra wanted a negative answer. "That's is not what matters now, it isn't deal sealed and I don't think it effects anything " he shrugged. "Are you serious?? You are marrying a girl who you think is a gold digger doing everything just for money and you don't even think it is important to know what the truth is? he shouted. "Rudra, there is no need of you to get into this. You have already interfered much. So for now just keep your mouth shut and leave he answered in the same tone.
"Fine, do whatever you want to, I don't care. Anyway how do I matter Omkara sighed on this. "Look, sorry he huffed. "But Rudra try to understand, there is no way in which I will be able to convince mom to go for her treatment. She is not ready to accept Riddhima after what happened and she is also not ready to leave without seeing me married. So there is no other option I have he sounded tired. "I understand that, O. But what about the girl. Wedding is not a game right? You both are going to be married Om glared at him "I know fake it is. But still you two would be a man and his wife. Try to understand that Rudra sounded understanding. "Not again Rudy, today this was enough for me to handle just then his cell rang.
"Hi mom, how is the check up going? he asked trying to hide the tired tone. "I am not in the hospital " Jhanvi answered. "What? Why? Doctor told you about that, didn't he? his voice was loud. "You also promised me that you will make her meet me today, and I am not going without meeting my son's wife he rolled his eyes on his mother's stubbornness. "Mom, please go he pleaded. "No way Omkara, I told you I won't until I meet your fiance why has his Om to be so stubborn. "Fine he sighed in defeat "I will bring her home, but right now go to the check up, please he pleaded again. "That's like my boy. Okay, I am going and the call was disconnected.
"And what now? Rudra looked at him. "I have to call Ms Sharma he shrugged. "Don't you think you should stop calling her Ms Sharma? his eyes shifted from his phone to Rudra. "Why is that so? he asked. "You don't call Riddhima as Ms Gupta, do you? he shook his head in no. "She is pretending as your fiance O. You have to call her at least by her name that was a fact. After all when they are acting as an actual couple, they need to call each other by names at least. "I think you are right he placed his hand on his chin. "I am always right Rudra smirked as he rolled his eyes.
"But where did you get the money from? her mother asked her while she was feeding her soup. "You don't have to worry about that. Bas jaldi she theek ho jao she tried to dodge the question. "Gauri, beta you don't have to sacrifice anything for me. I would be happy there if I will see you smiling she pointed to the sky which peeped though the window of her hospital room. "Let you go? Maa you know I would be left with nothing if I let you go she feed her another spoon.
"Bachcha, but there are many expenses that comes with keeping me alive. Aur waise bhi jee ke kya karungi.. she placed her palm on her mother's lips slightly touching it. "I don't have any one if it's not you Maa. Never ever say that you don't have a reason to live. You have to be there with me through out. Aur agar ek aur baar maine suna toh main baat hi nahi karungi tujhse she placed the empty bowl on the other shelf and faced towards the wall. "Areey, tu toh naraaz ho gayi. Okay, I'll not say that again, promise she faced her mom. "Good, now take your medicines she was just helping her mom will the pills when her phone rang. She kept doing what she was and didn't answered till it finished.
Omkara was tapping his feet while hearing the ringer rang. He cursed every time he had to call her back before she finally answered "hello. "Where were you? he barked. "Was busy, anything you wanted? she ignored his tone. "Obviously I did and that is why I called you... before she could say anything "my mom wants to meet my fiance today, so get ready before 7 I will send someone to pick you up. I already have made a parlour appointment for you her eyes narrowed. "You have made a parlour appointment? this was a shocker, but she stopped herself from adding this. "Yes.. I mean no, I mean just go.. Don't waste my time he sounded irritated."But I don't know anything about your mom he sighed. "Google it girl she closed her eyes on her stupidity. "Ye... Yeah okay he let out a breath. "Get ready before 7 he disconnected.
She immediately opened the browser to have a look at who was Mrs Jhanvi Singh Oberoi. She wasn't surprised to see how big this woman was and how much had she earned. But what caught her attention was the back story of the lady. She had two kids of hers at a young age when her husband died in a car accident. This woman has made herself and her kids what they are today and no wonder why the Oberoi industries was on the top list of the industrial sector today.
She got another call while she was reading "Yes, Gauri here. "Miss Sharma, this is from the paradise beauty salon. Mr Oberoi has booked an appointment for you the man answered. "Cancel it please she said immediately leaving the man confused. "But ma'am Mr Oberoi has...she cuts him "I said cancel it please and disconnected. She called Bhavya to tell her to keep her clothes ironed as she would have to rush.
"Damn, this woman. Why did she canceled the appointment? he bumped her phone on his table. "I think because she understood what mom wants in her daughter in law Rudra smiled. "What do you mean? his eyebrow shot up. "What I mean is that you know how the other girls came at home. Even the arranged marriage ones. Remember, all decked up they were and mom rejected each one of them? Omkara nodded.
"I think she knows mom likes simplicity Rudra folded his hands across his chest. "I just don't know what is she upto. But if you are right, I think everything will go smoothly Rudra nodded in understanding. "Relax O, everything will be fine Rudra placed his hand on his shoulder. "It has to be Rudy. You know how stubborn mom is and if she rejected her, I don't think I have any backup plan he sighed.
You better be perfect Ms Sharma he thought.
