Happy to post the 1st part of my 10th story in this forum.
- Chakor's thought! -**********
Part 1
RING RING... RING RING...
"I hate my life!"
"Yo! Where are the manners you taught me Sweety?
Say Hello! Hi! How are you? ... before making me deaf with your screams."
"My life is hanging here and you need my HELLO!" stretching the last word.
"Relax Sweety!
Calm down!
Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale!" Feeling that the atmosphere on the other side of the line is calm, she continued:
"Come to the point and tell me what is the problem, I mean your problem?"
"I want to suicide!"
"Oh No No No! Don't do anything stupid!
Tell me first everything."
"Mr. Bhuvan Lal is blackmailing me!"
"Hmmm.. Isn't he your father?"
"No more Trishna!"
"It's going to be tough to deal with her." Trishna talked to herself.
"Did you say something!"
"Me? Nooo! I was listening to your sorrows."
"He wants me to marry some Gorilla here else I'm house arrested until I accept."
"But you went to India as your mother had a heart attack! Don't tell me it was a drama to make you land in India!"
"At least now you used your lawyer brain."
"Heh! I'm always intelligent!"
"Yeah yeah I know it!"
"You always dance signing
'Chakor is Mumma's favorite!
I'm her princess!
She will do anything for me.'
What happened now? Where is she?" imitating Chakor.
"She can't do anything against Hitler! She is sad for my condition!" Chakor's voice drops.
"What about studies here?"
"Hitler got my admission in Delhi University!
Once all set according to him, I can go."
"So I will not see you!"
"We will meet when you will return after practice."
"Hmm.. Yeah! Tell me about that Gorilla!"
"Hey! Don't call HIM like that!"
"Oh! Madam has copyright!"
"Shut up!"
"Come on!"
"I don't know anything about HIM!" closed her eyes in stress.
"What?"
"When I found out that they lied to me and they are arranging my marriage, we had a small discussion!"
"I can imagine the discussion!" she grinned "By the way did they say anything to you about him!"
"HmmmHmmm"
"Don't shake your head! Do you have any idea? What are you going to do?"
"That's why I called you!"
"Sweety, you are the idea-box of our batch and you are asking help! And that too to me!"
"It's not time to make fun of me and yourself! Think dear!"
Silence prevailed on both side of the line for few seconds.
"I think I have an idea! You have to tell me if it will work or not." said Trishna.
The girls discussed the plan for few more minutes before coming to a conclusion.
Coming down to hall, Chakor saw her mother preparing table for lunch and her father to be seated on the head of the table.
"Sweety, I was about to call you! Come and have lunch!" said Chakor's mother.
"I need to talk!"
"We will talk later." said Bhuvan
"Now!"
"Kasturi, tell her to have lunch first!"
- I can see that Hitler has convinced Mumma with her smile plastered on her face.
Why do they expect me to marry some unknown person?
It's not only their fault, the one whom they want as their SIL is the main culprit!
How can he accept this proposal without seeing me or knowing me?
What am I going to do with all of them? -
"I want to meet him and his family before taking a decision."
It was more like an order than a demand.
Chakor's father exchanged an amused look with his wife before replying "We are going to meet them tomorrow. For your information princess, you know him."
- What is there to be amused of?
Anyways silent treatment if finished.
From now on I have to deal with Mr. X!
So I need time to sketch our plan without loopholes and prepare for a plan B in case the first plan flops.
I don't want to risk my life with an unknown person.
I have 1 more year of studies than practice before entering in to the world of war. -
Day-Night-Day passed in planning to get out of this lock.
Her parents didn't even say the name of the person or talked about the family to her.
Evening turned, Lal family entered the venue where the party was on full swing.
"What is the party for?" asked Chakor to her mother.
"Indian Law Firm Awards celebration."
- So he might be from Law background.
Let's see! -
"Hey there! He is coming!"
"Handsome with hot brain!"
"How I wish to get my training in his firm!"
Few girls were excitedly screaming not far from Chakor.
Her parents have moved a little towards an elderly couple and called her to join them.
Before going towards her parents, she turned her head to the direction of those girls and followed their gaze until they reached a man in businessman look with arrogance written on his face.
- No body has brain in this world!
All are under misconception. -
She went to the small group of elders and wished them.
"Do you remember me Sweety?" the lady asked Chakor.
She turned to her mother's side with a questioning look.
"Sweety, you remember Teju aunty and Kamal uncle, Raj's father?"
- The name I hate since the time I can remember well with all details.
Uncle and aunt were always sweet to me.
They changed a lot in these years. I should have recognised them.
So no angry face, smile sweetly to them. Smile! -
She smiles her cute simple smile and took blessing from them.
"So you remember us?" Kamal asked.
"Where is my boost Big Boss?" opening her palm.
"I knew it!" taking a toffee from his coat and placed it in her palms before patting her head affectionately.
- I remember the time when we lived in Mumbai.
Everything was so perfect except HIM.
Luckily Hitler shifted his company to Delhi before entering 8th grade and there after I didn't see or hear about HIM until today.
I don't know how HE can be born to these angels.
They are always sweet and lovely to me, even more than my parents.
I hope that Rajuju is not here. -
Kasturi and Teju started to talk about their old sweet time whereas Kamal and Bhuvan indulged in their business talks.
Chakor getting bored turned to other away from there to see the man of the evening coming to their side with a smirk.
- Why is HE coming here? With that smirk?
I want to erase that smirk from HIS face. -
HIS smirk turned into a smile.
Chakor went near Teju and initiated a talk:
"Aunty, how is Mumbai?"
"Good Sweety! When are you coming there?"
- Why should I go there?
I don't want to face my first and worst enemy. -
She smiled a little before it gets vanished by the presence of the person near her.
- Why is he here?
SR the best lawyer for others and the worst for me is here.
By my side, smiling at aunt and Mumma.
Why they are returning his smile.
Why should I care?
How can I define HIM?
Yeah! Ego defines HIM the best.
Always behind money and praises.
Selling HIS skills and knowledge for wrong people. -
She turns towards the girls whispering behind her to find angry and jealousy mixed gazes on her and lovely-dovely to SR.
-How can girls go crazy for him?
What are they seeing in him to be insane? -
"How are you aunty?" he asked addressing Kasturi after taking her blessings.
"Good! Congratulations!"
"Thank you! Where is uncle?"
- What is happening here?
How come he knows Mumma and Hitler?
May be Hitler but Mumma? -
"Hey Raj! How are you son?"
- Raj! Suraj! SR is Suraj!
How?
My mind is blank!
I should stop cooking in my head and think calmly.
Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale mentally.
He is Raj!
He is SR!
S for Suraj and R for?
What is uncle's name?
Hmmm Hmmm Ahaan! Kamal Narayanan Rajvanshi!
SR = Suraj Rajvanshi!
OH MY GOD!
Hope he is not the one I came to see!
If that is the case, then all our plans are going to become flop movies.
Please GOD! Please! Please! Please! -
"Sweetoo!" Suraj exclaimed in shock and Chakor came out of her train of thoughts.
"Whaat?"
- I wasn't in this world for less than 2 minutes and I feel like I went from here for decades.
What did they speak?
Why he is shocked more than me? -
"No dad! It can't happen!" Suraj said.
Chakor was lost in their talk, turning her head from right to left from her parents-Suraj to KN-Teju.
- What can't happen?
My mind was thinking but ears were listening!
So rewind rewind...
"Hey Raj! How are you son?"
"Fine uncle! How are you? How is business going on?"
"Everything is good."
"Raj you remember the surprise gift I told you!" Kamal uncle asked.
"Yes dad! I think it's uncle and aunt's visit."
"Not only that!"
"Then?"
"You said OK for marriage!"
"Yeah after Mom blackmailed me!"
"So here is the girl we choose for you! Kasturi and Bhuvan's daughter, our Sweety!"
"Sweetoo!"
So he is the one Hitler has chosen for me.
How can they think about me with him? H.I.M?
I can go to mortuary but not to his house. -
"It can't happen!" she repeated his line.
All elders exchanged glances.
"Sorry uncle and aunt!" Suraj turned towards his parents and said "Mom, Dad! Can we discuss this at home?"
"Can we move on too?" Chakor asked her parents with a baby face.
"Why don't we all continue our talks in Raj's apartment?" asked Tejaswini.
- No way I'm going to that Gorilla's house!
I should have let Trish call Rajuju all the names she wanted.
Please God, I'm your sweet child. I will not pull anyone leg for at least 2 days!
I will listen to my heart and not to my mind for 1 full day.
Please Make Hitler take a decision in my favor.
I don't want to face him. Please! -
"As you are staying here, we will come to meet you tomorrow evening if it's ok with you all." proposed Bhuvan.
- Wow! What an idea Hitler?
I didn't want to go there today when you were planning to send me there permanently. And now you are planning for tomorrow.
God! Why didn't you give a father like Big Boss?
He is always sweet to me. I was always first in his priorities list and even today he didn't forget my small wish.
Where is Hitler and where is my sweet BB?
That monkey should have been born in my house and Hitler would have been a Saint as he is always to HIM. -
Chakor tried to open her mouth to speak only to close it in the next instant.
"So meet you tomorrow Sweety!"
Tejaswini planted an affectionate kiss on Chakor's forehead, cooling a little the volcano of anger erupting inside Chakor.
The event finished in an unwanted way for both the families.
Once inside the house, Bhuvan started:
"Chakor! What was that 'It can't happen!' 'Can we go?' talks?
Have you lost your manners?"
- See who is talking about manners.
Forcing his daughter to marry her worst enemy and the beast in the form of human. -
Bhuvan continued:
"We are going there tomorrow evening.
Behave properly!"
- As if I was deaf when they planned my murder.
What can I do?
I need to review my plan according to my target.
How will I talk with him when I don't want to face him?
Will first call Trish and next decide what I will do? -
Chakor went to her room and jumped over her bed, pressing all the buttons needed to make a call for Trishna.
RING RING... RING RING...
"Hi Trish! Were you waiting for my call?"
"Sort of! Why?"
"For the first time you picked my call in the first ring itself."
"Stop talking around the bushes and tell me how is your Prince Charming!"
"Prince Charming! My foot!"
"He didn't accept your offer?"
"No I"
"Did he ask you for a date? When is your marriage? Where is your honeymoon? ... BLAH...BLAH... What did he say? Tell me Sweety!"
"Can you please stop your blabbering and let me speak?" asked sarcastically.
"Hmm Okay!"
"It's SR! My" Chakor couldn't even vent her anger.
"OMG! The young famous lawyer of India! My role model! My Greek God!
Lucky lady! No need to commit suicide, you are going to die every night seeing him!
How I wish your parents were mine."
"Stop dreaming Trishna! You never told me SR stands for Suraj Rajvanshi.
And he is"
BIP...BIP...
"OH God! What happened to this phone now!"
She checked her phone.
"Mine is all good!
Why everything is going wrong today?
On whose face I woke up this morning?
Ahaan! Hitler!
Crap!"
Blabbering to herself, she composed Trishna's number several times before sketching a plan to cancel this proposal, all the while praying the almighty that Rajuju doesn't change his decision in order to have pleasure by torturing her for whole life.
Stretching her brain to play with Hitler and Demon, in other words her father and prospective life partner, she drifted in to deep slumber.
With the rising of Sun, Chakor rose with new hopes and went downstairs to meet her parents after getting ready for the day.
With all energy and confidence, she started:
"If you both want, I will marry" there her parents showed all their teeth "but after my studies." and they became serious, "I will not marry yo... your Raj!"
"You are not going to marry him" now it was Chakor's turn to show all her teeth which didn't stay a second more hearing her father's next words "immediately. We are fixing the wedding date once your first semester of this year is over."
"Moreover Sweety, you will always be happy with Raj.
You remember his parents always says you are their daughter and now are going to go to their house as their daughter.
I'm so happy for you Sweety!"added her mother.
- I didn't even tell my wish, they are already preparing my farewell and that too with that MAN.
Mumma has joined hands with Hitler as she will get that Godzilla as son.
God please don't change his mind!
I will respect him.
I will call him by the name he wishes.
And I will accept whatever he calls me.
But make him say NO to this marriage. -
There was no reason for her to stay there anymore, so she went to her room to try again Trishna's number with no positive result.
Evening turned, Chakor's family went to Suraj's apartment.
All were seated and having their coffee when SR said "I would like to speak to her alone."
Chakor who was sipping her coffee, lost in her thoughts spit it out due to his sudden wish.
"Take her to your room." said Tejaswini and Kasturi in unison and smiled to each other.
Suraj got up and started to move.
Chakor following his actions, posed her cup on the table and went behind him.
Once inside the room, he locked the door and turned towards Chakor.
"Wh...Why did you lo...lock the door?" keeping a good distance from him.
"How are you Sweetoo?"
"Don't call me like that Rajuju!"
He smirks.
"Jungli Bili(Wild Cat)!" he murmurs and went to the double seater couch present in the room and asked Chakor to sit in the available place.
She went to the bed border opposite to the couch and sat there crossing her legs.
"What do you want to speak?" she asked with an attitude.
"What do you think about this marriage arrangements?"
"Total waste! They think we will be happy with each other but they don't know it will not work out. You convinced your parents to look for another girl?"
Did she ask a question or stated her wish?
"We are getting married in 6 months!" he announced.
"What Raju"
"Call me SR!"
"No way Rajuju!"
"We will decide about this after marriage."
"I'm not interested in marring you."
"Are you scared?"
"Scared and Me? In your dreams!
You have to be scared that I will kill you if you marry me."
"No! No! Please spare me! I don't want to die at this young age." he made a scared face before laughing, then continued "You are going to die in my hands Honey!" and winked at her.
- What is he planning?
He always tried to rule over me.
Never going to trust him. -
"Heard that you are studying Law. Following my path Sweeto?"
Glaring at him, she replied "It's my dream since childhood!"
"Yeah yeah! I remember you wanted to become lawyer after seeing me in black gown in my class drama."
"Whatever!"
They continued their talk for half an hour before coming out smiling at each other.
Only they knew what is cooking in their mind but their parents were happy to see them like that.
