Sugni dancing i could remember her danceso ... enjoy this one ... dedicated to this chapter
Hello Sweetie
First of all SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!I did read chapter 27 but have been frantically busy trying to finish things off at work so did not have the time to comment.A really good chapter. I like the way Sugni is able to control herself and not react to Ma and indeed convincing TVS not to say anything on her behalf. As it can be seen its reaping benefits and will eventually lead to her and MS having a relationship not because of TVS but because they mutually respect and like each other.Chapter 28Ummm. ... I am finding actions of TVS and Sugni difficult to understand. I am not saying its wrong just not how would expect the characters to react in this scenario. Let me explain...TVS - yes he uses his brain and thinks before he acts but he did also get frustrated / annoyed with Sugni at times and that was one of the things we loved about him but here he is becoming almost saintly which for me is a no no. Yes he understood how the situation arose and does not like to see Sugni unhappy but IMHO his first reaction would not be to cheer Sugni up. His first reaction would be disbelief and then real anger - he has lost his sister (this not just his sister being abandoned by her husband but his sister committing suicide) which had a devastating effect on the family although Sugni did not know that, he had lost her and had pushed her into prostitution and being a single mother and she knew how much he hated the practice so he would be angry and I expected Sugni to have to pacify him.As for Sugni there are aspects of this Sugni that I cannot relate to like how comfortable she was with physical relationship between them. She had been been physically abused and no doubt raped why she was the Thakur's bedni and whilst mentally she knows that this relationship would be very different and it was several years ago but nevertheless its one thing to think it another to deal with it in reality so I expected her to have far more difficulty in dealing with any physical intimacy and him having to help her adjust and realise that she has control over what happens to her.And again with Rai bearing in mind the devastation it has caused in her life no matter how much she was bamboozled by Amrita she would not give in especially she would never want Shanti to be exposed to it as the next logical question would be Mummy where did you learn that. I know she said in the past that she respected the dance just not what it led to but that was Sugni disagreeing on principle not Sugni who had suffered the consequence of what it led to so would want nothing that would bring those memories back and intrude on her new found hapiness. In addition she knows how much TVS detested it, and how much MS hates anything to do with Bednis and Rai is very much associated with it. so she would not do it. In fact when started reading I thought this would be where Amrita would see glipse of what Sugni went through and why TVS felt soo guilty about what happened and could not forget.Just my opinion please do not be offended or hurt.Anyway as she has realized her relationship with MS has reached a new low!!! Actions have consequences.
š VINNIE Chapter 21 was superbly written.
Shanti was very impressed with her new home and room.
Maa Thakur cool reserved towards Sugni is expected and dinner was a bit restrained which is understandable
Amrita is very excited about wedding preparation like a little girl.
Maa Thakur love Vickram and accepting Sugni as her daughter-in- law was difficult for her, but in order to keep the peace in the Family and
Vickram happy, she has no choice, but to accept Sugni.
Sugni will have to prove herself worthy of Vickram to Maa Thakur.
Thank you VINNIE.
Will read the next ASAP and give my review .
CHAPTER 29
"Vickram Darling!" Suman greeted as Vickram and Sugni made their way to her table at the restaurant. She smiled as she stepped forward and hugged him much to Sugni's annoyance he returned the hug with all blushing. Sugni took a deep breath trying not to look like she wanted to ring Suman's neck
"Suman so nice to see you, you look lovely as always. Um You remember Sugni, my wife." He said turning to her. Sugni pasted a smile on her face.
"Hello." Sugni greeted
"Hello, I didn't think you would accept my invitation, usually the wives find these business dinners boring no, most of them make excuses not to attend...?" She said looking at Sugni coldly.
"Yes well Sugni is not like the others...and I thought it's a good way to get acquainted with my associates...are the others here yet?" Vickram said.
"Unfortunately Mr. Roy had a family emergency and cancelled at the last minute so I guess it is just us...but that is ok...I am more interested in working with you..." Sugni looked at her wondering how was it possible to step out of her house dressed in that gown. Was so tight fitting leaving almost nothing to the imagination.
They made sat at the table as the waiter brought the menus. Sugni looked it and swallowed, she could not pronounce half of the things she was seeing here. She was tempted to stat wringing her hands nervously and had to stop herself as she looked at Vickram who was laughing softly at something Suman was saying. Both of them seemed not to be paying her any attention.
Soon the waiter came back to take their order.
Suman gave her order obviously very familiar with this establishment. Vickram looked at Sugni. "What would you like?" he asked
"Um...I'll have whatever you're having" she said, hoping she did not make a dining faux pas. He nodded as he placed both their orders.
"Aww isn't that sweet..." Suman said as the waiter left. "How long have you been married?" She asked looked at them.
"Three months on the 16th" Vickram said.
"Aww still newly weds huh...?" Sugni had the impression she was being laughed at, but she smiled and sat up straighter.
"Well Vickram..as you know my husband left all his business to me...and I spent the last few months doing my best to steer his ship the way he used to. And when I found out that he was in talks with you to start that charity trust...I knew I could not let his dream die along with him. I am so happy you agreed for this dinner.
"Of course Bhushan was a very dear friend of mine,actually my mentor when I first started my offices here he helped a lot...so sad that he died so tragically ..." He said.
"Yes of course...but you we have to move on..." She said shaking her head sadly. She did not seem to broken up about it.
As they continued to discuss the charity she was interested in setting up, Sugni recalled her first meeting with Suman. Vickram was invited to a Business Men Association dinner and dance, something that he had been ignoring for the past few years, instead Adi would attend on his behalf.
However this year he decided he would go as it was a good way to make contacts and learn about new trends in the business world. Sugni was a nervous wreck as she had no idea what these functions were like. Since they been married she had not really accompanied him to any such formal event.
Amrita, bless her soul was Sugni's savior. Wanting desperately to make up for the blow out with Maa Thakur, she took it upon herself to teach Sugni the in's and out of these functions. The proper way to walk, eat, talk everything she needed to know.
"One usually after dinner the men go of to discuss business and the women well they gossip...you being the new wife will receive a lot of stares and curious looks. Also it has been years since Mamaji went to ne of these and the last time he went he left early I am sure causing a lot of gossip. Just be cool and polite. If you get into a sticky situation with uncomfortable questions just say excuse me and go to the restroom or something.'
"OK..."
On the night of the dinner, Sugni was dressed in a formal gown and heels, that she practiced for days just not to fall flat on her face. She was nervous, but everything went smoothly. She remembered the correct knives and forks. And thanks to Vickram slow dancing was not a problem.
After the dinner though Amrita was right and the men moved into groups talking business, and Sugni was joined by a few of the wives who they had shared a table with..
Mrs. Sharma, a middle aged plump woman took it upon herself to be Sugni's guide of sorts introducing her to the other women. Most of them Sugni found were very nice, as expected they did wonder about her and Vickram and why he was such a recluse from them.
"You know...My husband talks about Vickram and his business skills so much, I always wondered about the man, and whenever we have one of these functions he is always mentioned. But I guess it took him getting married to finally bring him out!" Mrs. Gray said to Sugni, she laughed along with her.
"Maybe..." She said non committedly.
"Ohh..ohh Sugni...better keep an eye out...looks like the leech has her eyes on your husband.!" Mrs Sharma said, as the other ladies made sympathetic gasp.
"Excuse me...what?" Sugni said following their gaze. Standing out like a red flag in all the black ties, was a woman wearing a tight fitting off shoulder red dress, with a slit much further than was acceptable.
"Look at them...drooling..." One of the women said disgustingly, as she had the full attention of them men in her group, she kept touching Vickram and laughing and much to Sugni's annoyance he did not seem to mind, in fact he was smiling as well and she swore she saw a blush on his face!.
"Who is she?" She asked.
"Suman Venta, the widow of Bhushan Venta, he died six months ago in a car accident leaving all to her..."
"Ohh" Sugni said looking at her a bit sadly.
"Oh don't bother being sad honey he was 63." Sugni's eyebrows shot up as she looked at Suman who could not be more than 30..
"Exactly, he married her a four years ago, and let me tell you there is a reason we call her the leech. Every time there is a function, she is sure to go home with one of them...even when her husband was alive. And since he died well she has been going around looking for sympathy saying she wants to carry on his business. Carry on is right...according to gossip Mr. Nicolos and his wife are going through a divorce cause she caught the both of them in a "compromising position." She said
"Careful she is a charmer...just look at them..." One of the other ladies said .."Excuse me ladies while I get Mr. Rupert home..." She said as she hurriedly left to join the group. They looked on as Mr. Rupert, reluctantly left.
"Sugni aren't you going?" Mrs Sharma asked.
"No...
"Ahh...honey...sometimes you need to rein them in before they start slipping".. Mrs. Sharma said, pointedly looking at over to Vickram and Suman.
Sugni looked at them wondering, she did trust Vickram but there was just something in the way Suman was acting with him that was not sitting well. Sugni was walking up to them when she caught their conversation.
"Ohh Vickram..you are so funny...why have you never come for dinner at home..I would have loved to entertain you. Especially since I heard so much about you from Bhushan although he did make you sound like a recluse ...but you are not" She said flirtatiously, touching his arm and laughing.
"Hello?" Sugni said stepping up to them.
"Hi...who are you?" Suman asked.
"Sugni..my wife" Vickram said.
"Ohh so it is true...you got yourself hitched." She said, it sounded like it was a bad thing.. I am sure you broke may hearts Vickram" He laughed. Just then, a song began playing in the background.
"Oh I love this Song., Sugni dear you won't mind if I stole him away for a few minutes do you?" She said. Sugni looked at Vickram who was looking at her., with a smile. She shook her head no. She at the table as she watched them dance.
The words of the women mixing in her head with the knowledge that Vickram was not like the others, but still she could not help but feel irked
A few minutes after they returned to her table.. " He is such a good dancer..." Suman said Sugni smiled and nodded.
"So I was thinking after here we can go out and get a few drinks...how about that?" she asked Vickram clearing ignoring Sugni.
"Actually.." Sugni said..."We should head home ...," Sugni said holding his arm.
"Yes. We should..."
"Ohh but I wanted to discuss my charity project with you..." She said, pouting...
"You know what. Why don't we have dinner sometime next week? You and your wife if she wishes and maybe Mr. Roy and his wife.. I would really like your input on this." She said.
"Sound like a plan." Vickram said. "I would love to help..." he said.
"I'll call you..." She said as they left.
As they left the party Vickram's attention turned to her, and Sugni put her out of her mind. A few days later, though he told her about the dinner invite and asked if she would like accompany him. She did and now here they were having dinner with the scantily clad Suman who was openly fawning over her husband.
****\\\\////****
"Sugni you are lucky to have caught this one..." Suman was saying , bringing Sugni back to the present. "Oh Vickram you broke lots of hearts " She said winking. Vickram blushed.
"Thank you..." he said. Sugni looked at him, he seemed to be enjoying the attention.
"Oh my song...will you do me the honors?" She said stretching her hands towards him.
"Sure.." He said ...Strange a repeat of their last meeting.
"Excuse us" she said as they went to the dance floor. Sugni looked at them her annoyance now growing to include Vickram, obviously he was not immune from her outlandish and brash behavior. She watched as they were in conversation, he did not even look to the table ...
Finally dinner was over, and they made their way home.
"Wow...she is something..." Sugni said shaking her head.
"She is..." He smiled. "Admirable na, that she wants to see to her Husband's charity dream."
Sugni scoffed..."Oh please that was the last thing on her mind...but I can see you enjoyed all the attention.' She said looking at him sternly. Vickram raised his eyebrows.
"Excuse me...it was nothing..."
"Of course not 'Vickram darling'..." She imitated Suman. "Can I have this dance...sheeesh Shameless!'
Vickram laughed at her. "Are you jealous?" He asked looking almost please with that.
"Jealouse Me? No...I am just amazed...like everyone else you also seemed very taken by her..I don't get it."
:" I was not I was simply being polite with her."He said.
"Hmmm I could see that...since the ball how polite you were being...it was written all over your face." She said looking out the window as she mumbled under her breath about him blushing. She crossed her arms . Not talking to him for the rest of the ride home.
They got home as Sugni went straight up to the room and jumped into the shower. She came out to find Vickram still grinning at her ,apparently enjoying her being mad. She tried to ignore him.
"OH You know you do look cute when you're mad." He said as he walked up to the dresser where she was combing her hair and hugged her from behind looking at her through the mirror. "But seriously ...there is no reason for you to be...after all you know I love you..." he said placing a kiss on her neck to pacify her. She shrugged him off not willing to give in. Vickram sighed..
"Ok...thenI am going to shower...can I have a cup of tea please..." He asked as he went into the bathroom.
A few minutes after Vickram came out as she returned with the tea. He held out his hand for it, but instead of handing it to him she rested it on the side table turning towards the bed and lying down.
"Sugni...come on...you can't be that mad...I didn't even do anything!"
"Forget it Thakur Saab...don't try to pretend you were not noticing her ...I am not blind, it was all over your face. .and now she wants you to be on the board of her charity? I am sure you two can have fun all day with her lamenting on what a good catch you were, and asking you to dance...! It is true once men get married they change..." She said
"Oh common Sugni...this is not fair...Hey Bhagwan...why are you acting this irrational." He asked
"I am being irrational...really?" She said sitting up to look at him.
"YES!" he said "You know very well there was nothing going on here this evening. And by god I can't see you are so upset over a dance that she asked if you minded...if it was a problem for you you should have said so..."
"And be rude?" She said.
"Like you are not being rude now...?" He asked looking pointedly at the cup. "You are blowing this way out of proportion, Madam, the least I would think is that you know my well enough to know that this should not even be an issue." He got up obviously annoyed. "You spent the drive home upset, and you still after all this time, for no reason. You know something Sugni...she is not the only woman who acts like that, and there are some of them that can be worse...but sometimes you just have to go with it and tolerate them for a few hours...but getting mad at me won't make her behavior stop would it. .. He got up as he walked to the door. "And for the record...while we were dancing...I told her I would not be on her board, but would just put her on to the ones that can help her...because I figured her out...but you so busy being mad at me you don't even want to hear it." He walked out the room to the balcony laving Sugni staring after him.
Sugni closed her eyes asshe took a deep breath. He was right. It was not his fault that the woman could not stop flirting with him, she was being irrational and rude. She looked over at his side table where his tea was still left untouched..
Getting up she took the tea and out to find him looking out.
"Thakur Mallick?" She said softly ... she got no response.
She placed her hand on his shoulder..."Your tea will get cold..." She said. He stood unresponsive for a couple of minutes then turned and took it from her hand wordlessly.
"I am sorry...I did over react..." She said softly. He took a sip of the tea as he nodded then took a seat at the table..."I guess I was just taking in what the other women had to say about her...and...well you're right I was a bit jalousie..especially when I saw you blushing at her..."
"I was not..." He said.
"Yes you were..."She said as she moved forward to sit on his lap... "And I know you only blush like that when you like something..." She said watching him. She smiled as his face got slightly red. "Forgive me?" She said as she hugged him.
"Hmmhmm" He said as he hugged her back. She pulled back glad he was no longer mad at her.
"But you were checking her out...like everyone else at the dinner right?" She asked a bit teasingly. He said nothing, just smiled. "I knew it." She said sighing sadly.
"Oh right...like you don't look." He said watching her
"I do not..." She denied.. As he cocked an eyebrow at her.
"really...excuse me...who was it...I heard gushing over some guy's hot body in that movie she and Amrita was watching...not for the story but solely because they found the hero "HOT?" he asked
Sugni looked at him with her mouth open..."That is different!" She said
"Oh how so... Kamal hain...you do it and it is different I do it and you want to have my head."
"Well He is in some far off land ...not in a tight dress begging you to dance..." She said
"Why is that bothering you so much?" he asked looking at her. "It was just a dance..."
"I don't know...it shouldn't I know..." She said..."there was just something about how she was looking at you...it was supposed to be our thng...it felt like she was intruding... I don't know why it affected me like that...but it did." She said honestly.
"I get it..." he said..."No one could ever take your place Sugni..not even for a moment...and truth is she was making me a bit uncomfortable, but because of her late Husband who I have utmost respect for I agreed to the dinner and to see if I could help her. but there is no way I was going to work with her and that is why I refused ."
"but you did not tell me that!" She said.
"Well if you weren't so busy being angry I would have..."
" I am Sorry..." she said
"It's ok..." He said as he hugged her.She wrapped her arms around him. As he bent his head to kiss her.
"There is only one woman for me Sugni...and that is you...I don't think I can handle any more crazy..." He chuckled as she looked at him in mock annoyance.!
