Part 7 (lucky one) Robbie watched kasturi's small body defy its delicate purportions by pulling Tannu all the way to the other side of the ballroom...He shook his head and actually felt disappointment, Geeze i should lay of the alcohol tonight he thought to himself, hating where his feelings were taking him tonight, what happening to me, Robbie Saberwal, never feels remorse (bad ) over girls. Just then Anita something or the other, (what is her last name he thought to himself and then couldnt care less cuase she's just another airhead in the loooooongggg line of girls dying to win his attention. ) He turned to her and smiled his 10,000 mega watt smile and watched her slip on those high heels as she reacted to his smile, or should i call those poor excuse for shoes death trap instead, and he smiled even more deeply at his inside joke. As Anita came up close to him , Robbie took a step back, he's always hated people in his personal space, God how he hated people touching him..its been a phobia, he had since childhood. She ended kissing the air, where robbie's cheek had been but a second before he very cunningly moved the very last second.😆 Robbie: Anita... how are. (he asked in his very deep sexy voice)
Anita: Robbie i'm fine now, would you like to dance?
Robbie: Anita i'm a bit old fashioned that way, and I usually like to ask the lady.
Anita and Robbie stood their with a uncomfortable silence, as Ronak walked up and put his arm on Anita and said: so did you get turned down yet again Anita? tsk tsk...bechaari Anita start playing hard to get and you atually might end up catching more of Robbie's attention if you stopped chasing him. or better yet Robbie you should implant one of those GPS chip with in yourself and that way all the girls will know where you are... so that way they wont have to chase after you anymore. and he 😉 Robbie.
Robbie: Ronuak, mujhe yeah samajhe mein nahin aatah, mein tumhain, bardaashe kyun kar raha hoon..
Ronauk: Cause i'm diabollically brilliant..Now i'm off to ask the bomb for a dance.
Robbie smiling now, because he understood the "Bomb" Ronauk was referring to was Kasturi and the "bomb" was indeed about to blow up and turn him down..
Robbie smiling said: haan jaaou jaaou..us bomb se milkar aaou...
Ronauk: mera bonus kaam to nahin karou ga?
Robbie: actually if you get her to dance with you Ronauk i'll give you a 15% increase on your xmas bonus...thats how giving i feel tonight. and he laughed..
Ronauk smelling something very fishy asked: tum haas kyun raha hoi? (why are you laughing)
Robbie: its ummm kuch nahin Ronauk, now go and and ask your bomb to dance..
Anita tired of being ignored took off without looking back, Robbie Saberwal was just plain old full of himself, she honestly didnt think there was a girl "Perfect " enough out there made for " the perfect Robbie Saberwal" as she was passing to her left she noticed Divya Saberwal walking into the ballroom, wearing a silver figure hugging long gown with straps that criss crossed on the back of her dress. Wow, what was that an armani creation or a canali one, defintely Italian designer wear...uggg these Saberwals.... 🤢😡 she thought. Divya's diamond earrings winked back as the lights reflected on them as an answer to Anita's disgust..
Robbie followed Ronauk and went to position himself close enough but not obvious enough to anyone that he was intensely watching and listening to the scene unfolding on infront of him. Ronauk was about to get turned down...big time...😆 he laughed to himself.
and crossed his arms across his chest.
Ronauk walked up to the beautifully dressed girl, her glossy thick hair was long, it hung below her delicate shoulder blades.
Ronauk cleared his throat and said: Excuse me?
kasturi turned around at hearing the light but humourous voice and said: yes?
Ronauk: hiya, i'm Ronauk Singhania. ( and he streched out his hand)
Kasturi ignored his hand and asked: Hi I'm kasturi.
Ronauk: Why does it feel like the most beautiful girl in the world is in this room?
Kasturi rolled her eyes and laughed out, her voice was sweeter then he could have ever imagined.
Robbie hurt her fairy voice laugh and felt like someone had punched him in the gut.
Kasturi: that is the most cheeziest pick up line i have ever heard.
Ronauk looking shocked and hurt at the sametime said: aww come on, as pick up lines go that at least deserves a B+.
Kasturi: heck no, that sucked and you know it.
Ronauk: okay i agree it sucked, care to dance?
kasturi: no not really.
Robbie smiled deeply as his dimples showed on his face.
Ronauk: aww please?
Kasturi: no seriously i'm a horrible dancer, but thank you for asking.
Ronauk: okay would it help if i told you i'm New Dehli 2nd most eligible bachlor? and that I'm CFO of Saberwal Inc.
Kasturi realizing that this just might be the chance she and Tannu we're waiting for..she thanked her God quitely and said: well when you put it that way, how can a girl say NO.
Robbie's smile immidiately disappeared and he frowned deeply. What? How could she say yes? Ohhh Of course he thought she has to keep up pretences.
Just than Tannu walked past him and he felt bad for these two, they would probably have to hide their relationship from the world, especially JP saab.
ohh well..you cant fight what you are now can you. Robbie went to go see where he was sitting, feeling pretty lousy cause he would have to fork over more money to ronauk, not because kasturi had said yes to dancing with ronauk. Or that was what he kept telling himself.
Ronauk led kasturi to the dance floor and danced to the song : tujhe dheekha to yeh jaana sanam..... Ronak held kasturi in his arms and was surprised that he didnt feel anything, nothing clicked with this beauty in his arms, he felt kinda bad, cause he would luv to find the girl that was made for him, oh well he'll keep searching. so he asked her about herself: So kasturi tell me about yourself, for i know I havent seen you before.
Kasturi: ohh i've come home to reconnect with my roots. I'm looking for a job, cause i dont have alot of money and I hate having to stay with my friend Tannu Chawala.
Ronauk: so tell me about your educational background?
Kasturi: why are you willing to hire me?
Ronauk: well that depends on what type of background you have?
Kasturi had finished her degree in finance, so at least she didnt have to lie about that.
Ronauk: oh..
Kasturi: so does your company have any openings, can you hire me?
Ronauk: not right at this moment there isnt anything that come to my mind.
Kasturi feeling totally dejected and feeling that her and tannu's plan was doomed to fail even before it got off to a start.
Ronauk continued: however Saberwal's CEO, is looking for temp to hire, as his Personal Assistant.
Kasturi looking up relieved :such mein?
Ronauk liking how her voice sounded so full of hope said: yeah, infact the CEO is here tonight, if you want after the dance I can introduce you to him.
Kasturi knowing he meant Robbie said: Oh would you. I'd owe you big time.
Ronauk smiled and said: consider us even. (he didnt bother to tell her that his bonus just got bigger thanks to her.) with the song comming to its end he led kasturi to where Robbie was sitting.
Robbie watched Ronauk and kasturi dancing, the way their heads were touching as Ronauk said something to her, and her face fell, and then it lightened up like a tree at christmas time. What the hell is he saying to her, robbie wondered. Robbie's hand clenched tightly and then he unclenched it. Hating the feelings he was having, why was this 5 foot simple girl playing with his head. and why in God's name am i feeling anxiety over her dancing with Ronauk??? Kyun?
Robbie picked up the knife next to his plate and twirled it in his strong sleek fingers and tried to make sense of his feelings. Fustrated with not understanding what he was feeling and why, he looked around his table to see who he was going to be sitting with, that was when he noticed the normal names except for one. Where Divya usually sat with him, her name was no where to be seen and one white card with a golden border around it caught his attention, but it wasnt the card but the name written in calligraphy that shocked him, it was Kasturi's name. This night was getting very strange very fast he thought, and looked up to watch kasturi being led towards his table by Ronauk, Robbie thought about stabbing Ronauk as he noticed Ronauk's arm around kasturi. Thats when robbie realized what it was about kasturi that had him acting soo unlike himself, it was his alpha male hormones reacting to her, seeing her as a challenge, she was a challenge from the second she had sat down on the seat next to him on that plane. Now that he knew she was off limits his body was reacting to her as a challenge, to see if his exceptionally handsome self could make her feel something for him. OF course that was all it was. a challenge as old as time. He felt relieved to realize that it wasnt anything deeper then that. Thank god he thought.
Ronauk smiled at robbie and said: Robbie, meet kasturi , kasturi , robbie.
Robbie: hum already mil chukey hain.
Ronauk: Really, oh yes the B factor..right robbie and he winked.
Robbie: No the T factor Ronauk, geeze buddy your memory sucks.
Kasturi confused about the lettering asked: I'm sorry what is the T or B factor.
Robbie smiled : Nothing, just an inside joke.
Ronauk saw kasturi's name card and said: oh what a coincidence, your sitting with us at this table.
Ronauk pulled kasturi's chair out and she sat opposite Robbie and next to Ronauk.
The other people sitting on the table was Vikas to Robbie's left and Anita to his right. Kasturi had only changed her name card with Divya, who was now sitting next to Tannu on a table on the opposite side from them.
Just then the MC for the evening spoke into the mic asking for people to take their seats as the program for the evening was about to begin. He thanked the corporate sponsors that made the charity ball possible, and the one name that stuck out in kasturi's mind was Saberwal Inc.
The MC continued with what was going to be the next event for the evening. He asked for the audience to take out their ticket stubs as the Raffel was about to begin.
Kasturi took out her stub and the MC stated: ladies and Gentelmen the raffel for the first item up for auction is from a very Prominent Family of New Dehli.
This year the charity committee has decided that i'll pick out the ticket stub and read out the number and that person will come up on stage and we will then reveal what they have won. Okay here we go.
The MC picked up a ticket stub and read out the number:456, would the lady or gentlemen holding the ticket stub with the number 456 please come up on stage. Everyone looked around in anticipation to see who had won.
Tannu jumped up and said, MEEEE i MMMEEE i mean i have ticket stub Number 456...YIppppeeeeee...she ran up to the stage all excited to claim her win.
The MC took her stub and confirmed that she had indeed won the first item that had been auctioned off..And he began to tell her what it was....
Ticket holder number 456 you have won :A day of shopping with Divya Saberwal: YOU will be entitled for a shopping spree with her at her fav stores , and ending the day off at her fav. spa retreat and dinner. Congratulations.... and everyone began to 👏 Divya couldnt believe her luck, this was awesome she thought as she walked up to Tannu on stage as she got on to stage.
Tanuu stood there like the guy had just sentenced her to death, her face was turning a dark shade of blue from the lack of oxygen going into her body.
Tannu totally upset said: kya? kya kaha tum ne?
MC: I said you have won a Day with Divya Saberwal.
Tannu taking her stub back from the MC and ripping it up said: I thought you said i WON something? Are you joking with me? Is this some sick JOKE?!!!!
MC totally confused at Tannu's behavior: No ma'am this is no joke you have won a shopping spree with divya Saberwal..
Divya had finally walked onto the stage, as Tannu glared at her.
Tannu: stop saying that!!!! i dont want it, infact this isnt my ticket stub. mein ne kisse aur ka ticket stub uthaa li ya tha.
Divya: Tannu your a fashion disaster. This is the best thing that has ever happened to you.
MC getting alittle upset at her for her public behavior said calmly: be it as it may Ma'am you have indeed won a day with Divya Saberwal.
Tannu ignoring the MC said: Divya your whole life is a disaster now leave me the hell alone.
Divya grabbed the Mic and said: Tannu thanks me from the bottom of her heart and is soo very very greatful, and honored to be spending a day with ME..and hopefully she will finally get her makeover that she so badly needs. thanks and have a great night everyone.
Tannu grabbed the Mic and said: Tannu Chawala, is so very greatful and honored to be able to spend a day with Divya so she can finally show her how shallow, mindless, and inconsequential and meaningless her life really is. Thank you everyone and good nite.
And tannu and divya left the stage pushing one another.
The MC totally taken back from that whole scene, cleared his throat and said: Well then lets move on to the next winner. and he picked another number.
MC called out: the next winner is ticket number 342, will the winner with ticket number 342 please come on stage. everyone waited to see the next winner.
Kasturi looked down at her ticket and couldnt believe her luck, it was her ticket, she looked up and giggled, and softly said: aww thats my ticket..
Robbie shivered when he heard her giggle.
Kasturi got up and walked towards the stage to claim her win.
The MC said: this beautiful younge lady has won:
You have won a date with New Dehli's most Eligible Bachlor Robbie Saberwal. Your date will include a dinner and dancing at the Paradise Point Hotel and Resorts. Furthermore, Robbie being the fine outstanding gentlemen that he is, has also offered a dance tonight and to drive you home.
kasturi froze listening to what she had won, OMG wow Thank you God... now i know i'm doing the right thing, for my family, you've given me this opportunity to get close to him.. thank you... dad this one's for you.
Robbie walked up onto the stage kasturi wasnt even paying attention to him, she showed no emotion what so ever, robbie felt hurt, she really is a Lesbian..any normal girl would be jumping up and down like they won the lottery. yet look at her, she's got her eyes closed and she looks like she's praying?? got what is wrong with HER???
He reached her and reached into his tuxedo jacket and pulled out a single rose and handed it to her.
kasturi looked up and smiled at him and said: thank you and took the single rose from him.
Robbie: your welcome.
the MC soo relieved that this winner was at least calm and graciously accepting her win.
Robbie reached for kasturi's elbow and guided her back to their table. As he was walking back robbie felt a chemical reaction within the pit of his stomach. and he thought to himself: this is not good, NOT goood at all.
