Part 2
Looking at the scene in my bedroom I shudder in disbelief at the chaos in here, for any thought of dressing up right now seems more of a botheration than of pleasure especially when the entire contents of my cupboard is tumbled on the floor. From my bed to the dressing room table it was all a mess of everything feminine and the reason for this disarray was all thanks to Elena my much loved younger cousin whom I am about ready to kill right now for putting me through this inconvenient torture. Enough Elena, this is a business meeting please just stop all this fuss, I am perfectly fine dressed the way I am I try desperately to reassure her. Are you mad Sona she pitched this line at a very loud tone, have you totally gone mad? Elena looked at me with such distaste that I balk at her as she forcibly turns me to face the mirror like I was some sort of rag doll... can you seriously tell me that this looks fine...off course it does I happily say and she throws her hands up in disbelief like I was some sort of fashion disaster... what's wrong with the way I am dressed I asked, annoyed that my choice was not liked... my god Sona you look like you 36 instead of 26 ...I open my mouth in horror at the huge age gap she flung at me and I grumble at her need to constantly interfere in my life and nag me like she was elder to me instead of it being the other way around...ok, ok I grind my teeth in irritation that once again hurricane Elena has struck my way leaving me at her mercy.
Without much choice, I slump down on my bed glaring at my sometimes adorable cousin while she rumbles through my clothing searching for that something for me to wear this evening, I was clever enough to know if I did not give her full control I would never get to leave on time, so taking a deep breath and inhaling more than enough air I slowly begin to exhale and hope with my clear controlled breathing I am able to stay calm and composed, while Elena slyly smiles at me holding a black dress in her hand. No, no, no I wag my finger at her and she replies in an overly enthusiastic voice oh Yes, yes, yes. I cover my face in total frustration, for this particular black dress was not my idea of what simple and sensible should be and I sincerely curse my bad luck for having a cousin like Elena around me and stamp my feet like a sullen child, while the wicked witch drags me to sit in front of the mirror like I was some sort of a wayward child. This was a given, a battle I was not winning anytime soon.
On the other side a well trained voice spoke, Mr Dixit the traffic seems to be much slower today... yes I can see that Dev replied back to his chauffeur unconcerned about the delay for he seemed more than calm when he said don't worry we've got more than enough time to get there and he settled back comfortably in the back seat of the luxuorius car staring out through the window without much thought of anything. The passing minutes stuck in traffic seemed to bring on a deep sense of longiness and Dev couldn't help being overwhelmed by the loneliness that surrounded his life especially during the past 6 weeks when his life was ripped apart by enough pain and sorrow, there wasn't a moment in his day that he never thought about his love, his Sona, and right now he missed her more than anything else in this world.
What was she doing?
Did she miss him the way he missed her?
Did she think of him like he did of her every second of the day?
The thoughts of her continued to invoke him and he couldn't help this feeling of sadness wash over him. Sonakshi my love, I miss you so much, I miss us being together. Every part of me so desperately wants to touch you again to feel your softness on me, I want to take you my arms and never let you go again, please Sona forgive me? I know you hurt and it hurts me even more that I can't be with you, but right now i'm so helpless a few more weeks is all i ask, just please trust in my love and our love for each other. I love you Sona I love you so very much. Dev continued to look out into the Delhi night sky, a beautiful crescent moon hovered above, his heart cried out with pained longing that somewhere in this vast sky someone was listening. Dear god, I love her so much I love her she is my life, a silent tear slipped through the corner of his eye as he wished with all of his heart that he could make it all right again, his mind wandered to those beautiful memories they had shared together but the Hyatt Regency seemed to be a lot closer than he expected and with much difficulty he slotted his mind back to business and knew he needed a clear head for the dinner he was attending. The night ahead felt long and he could not shelve this peculiar feeling of something or maybe it was just his crazy head, come on Dev Dixit you can do this!
The pleasant looking doorman seemed to have a friendly smile on his face as he greeted me and I greeted him back. I had never been to the Hyatt Regency before so I could not help but feel this nervous knot inside me. The imposing magnificence of the hotel amazed me and I had to muster up every ounce of courage to look more than confident to be here but to be honest, I feel uncomfortable at all the glances coming my way. I so hope to god I am dressed appropriately or I swear Elena you will be breathing your last.
I walk through the foyer and scout for directions to the restaurant, I was greeted by a very formal looking Maitre D who enquired if I had a reservation and I immediately told him that I'm here to meet Dr Yash Arneja, he nodded and escorted me to the reserved table as I walked in between the other diners people seemed to stare at me and now I seriously begin to think that something is wrong with the way I look, maybe my dress was to short I want to cling at the edge of it to pull it down or maybe the slit on my left thigh was to exposing or was it my hair I lightly touch my hair but at the corner of my eye I notice a group of businessman seated together and I feel more on edge I wish I could disappear to the ladies to check if anything about me looked odd but to my bad luck again, I see Dr Yash Arneja smiling at me and I knew any thought of dashing out was not possible. Immediately Yash stood up and gave me a friendly hug, I felt awkward but ok at the same time, was that possible I thought to myself... wow Sonakshi you look amazing and I blush at his comment thinking oh my god he must be so lying.
Dev sat at his table in discussion with his team of corporate attorney's as they were narrowing down on a major contract which they where about to close in on and some strange feeling inside him nudged him to look up and he couldn't help but glance in the direction that every head seemed to turned towards. Immediately he was struck by a sudden familiarity of an alluring figure of a woman and his heart beat stilled when he realized that said woman was his, Dr Sonakshi Bose, the woman he loves, what was she doing here? It was exactly 6 weeks since he'd last seen her on a day that he wished he could erase from their memory forever and right now he had to literally do a double take to confirm he was not dreaming and that she was indeed here and very real. He was struck by how breath takingly beautiful she looked that every male head seem to turn in appreciation of her.
Dev suddenly felt an immense need to protect her, it unsettled him, all the admiring glances that came her way. He was just about to get up from his seat when he saw her walk straight into the arms of another man. He sat back rooted to his seat shocked beyond his mind as he watched the scene unfold before him. What was going on here why was Sona meeting another man, watching that adoring smile on her face seem to cloud his vision, did she think she had the right to be with someone else how can she smile that way how could she? There was enough tension for Dev to grit his teeth , the twitch at the back of his jaw was evident of it and his eyes was blazing with more than enough anger that he could very easily burst a blood vessel watching the love of his life sit there comfortably talking to another man, doesn't she realize that Sonakshi Bose was off limit to anyone else but him, his fisted hand squeezed tightly against his thigh!
Yash seemed comfortable to be around and I began to ease once we begin our conversation, especially when he spoke about the work he was doing with children and how he was personally funding a new school for children from poorer homes who had special needs. Seriously I was impressed by his dedication and humanitarian side, so is that the reason you are going away tomorrow, I casually ask? Sitting relaxed in his chair he smiled and said actually its for a totally different reason I'm getting married... oh that's wonderful Yash many congratulations to you and your wife to be, I really wish you all the best...thanks Sonakshi it means a lot. Just then a waiter arrives with our drinks and I find reason to make a quick dash to the ladies to ensure I was ok.
As I walked down the passage in the direction of the ladies room, my arm is suddenly gripped by a strong hand. In shock, I find myself abruptly turned to face the eyes of a man who plagues my heart, body and soul, Dev, I open my mouth in stunned disbelief as I whisper his name...with no greeting he asks me, who is he Sonakshi... what, I clumsily utter in all nervousness... who is the guy you with Dev demanded to know...I begin to feel anger well up inside me at the tone of his voice and remove his hand from my arm... it's none of your business I say and begin to walk away but I unfortunately I didn't even get to take a step away as he jerked me against the wall towering over me with enough intensity of possessiveness to render me speechless...who is he, Dev emphasised this question with enough clarity for me to know he was no mood to be ignored ...let go of me I demand as I try to shake of his hand...bringing his head closer to mine his eyes pierced into me and in a dangerously low tone he said, I will never let you go Sonakshi Bose you are mine!
I was dumbfounded that Dev was so overbearing towards me and I said I think you must be mistaken Dev, if i was really yours then where were you these past few weeks... 6 he said, it's been 6 weeks 11 hours 38 minutes and 20 seconds... oh so you counting i say... like you would never believe he whispered. let go of me Dev I begin to wriggle out again and it's then that he drags me by the hand and pulls me away walking towards the foyer, stop I say stop this Dev... no you stop it he shouted at me and held my hand even tighter as we walked towards the hotel front desk, with a not so happy me.
Can I help you sir a very smartly poised female receptionist asked him, yes he said, I'm Dev Dixit and I would like to book a room here, ok sir let me see what's available... look I don't care about the price just get me a room thats more than comfortable for me and my wife...the receptionist cleared her throat as she looked at me and I was so embarrassed by her gaze on me, did he actually say I was his wife did I hear him clearly or was I imagining things. I felt confused and upset with Dev for his bullldozing attitude and thought to myself why do I still need to tolerate this behaviour when he seriously lost all right over me?
Until next time, do take caređ
With Love
