Part 20
She served him a glass of juice for courtesy sake .. she sat opposite him .. waiting for him to start the conversation .. she could see that he was a man with few words and someone who would not like to waste his precious time .. He took a sip from the glass .. looked around the house for a minute .. then looked at her straight .. for a second she felt uneasy .. maybe a little nervous .. but she tried not show that and put a brave front and looked directly at him .. was he trying to calculate and then spend his words ..
"Kria , you are exactly like how Rey described to me .. one of the most beautiful girls I have seen .. I must say Rey has a great choice"
Again a shock .. why .. what was she expecting him to say .. she just couldn't understand this man .. was he complimenting her or was that a taunt .. she felt there was no connection between his words and the voice .. his voice didn't seem to have any emotion ..she was confused about this man's behaviour .. she managed to say "Thanks .. "
He went on " I hear you are fiercely independent and ambitious girl .. Whatever you have achieved is based on your own strength .. admire you for that "
Kria was totally confused .. Reyaansh has told his Dad all about her .. but why .. did Reyaansh want his Dad to talk to her .. what is it .. she smiled at him .. what was she supposed to do ..
"Kria ,would you go to any extent to achieve your dreams ?" he asked sarcastically ..
"Yes, I would go to any extent which is in my hands .. I will try to surpass my limits " she confidently replied .. but she was not sure why there was sarcasm in his voice ..
" So what are your plans after MS ?"
"I want to be the lead designer for the top website or animation making company here "
"Hmm .. Rey plans to join us back in our business "
This surprised Kria a lot " But ,Reyaansh wants to start his own venture .. he told me that "
"Ha .." he gave a short laugh "That's for just impressing his gals ' I guess .. he always wanted to join me "
Kria couldn't believe what she was hearing .. will Reyaansh lie to her .. he had been so passionate and motivated about his dream ..
<Conversation continues>
At this very moment a ecstatic Rey was getting in a cab to reach home .. he was very excited to meet Kria and share with her the good news .. He had gone to leave Taani to the hotel ' there he met his Dad .. he had told his Dad everything about Kria .. and he had agreed to meet her in the morning before he leaves for India ..
He reached home .. he saw his Dad's car outside.. he hopped out of the cab .. he was just bursting with joy ..
He opened the door and ..
Kria just exploded .. she had controlled herself too long .. "You are disgusting ... and your son .. I detest him " .. she just spat .. "Get out of here , now " .. she screamed ..
Rey was stunned at what just happened .. did she just say that to his Dad .. did she just scream at him ..
"Kria , Hold your tongue .. how dare you speak to my Dad like that ?" he was irate at her behaviour ..
"He deserves that .. " came her curt reply .. she didn't know for how long she could stand this father-son ..
Rey: "Kria .. you can say whatever you want to me .. but not to my Dad.. you have got to apologise to him now " his tone was rising .. he was very angry with Kria ..
Kria's temper had shot up too .. "I will not .. never "
His Dad turned towards Rey .. "I am waiting in the car .. would like to talk to you till the airport " .. he left ..
He came to Kria .. held her shoulders .. "What's wrong with you ? Why are you behaving like that .. yesterday you didn't talk to me ..now you are rude to my Dad ? .. He came to meet you because everything got sorted out between us .. He genuinely likes you .. " she didn't let him complete ..
Kria was trembling "Did you discuss me with your Dad ?"
Rey : Yes , so what ..
Kria was so angry ..she just hurled his hands off her .. "You know what Reyaansh Singhania .. you suck and your Dad ..he .. he is a son of .."
Rey didn't let her complete it .. he had his finger pointing to her .. "Not a word more .. Kria .. you have no right to say that .. you don't have a Dad .. " he bit his lip .. and shut his eyes .. he was so angry ' but he shouldn't have said that .. he left the sentence incomplete but it was of no use .. the damage had been done ..
Kria could not bear this .. "I have nothing more to do with you .. did you hear that .. " she gritted and clenched her fists .. stormed into her room .. banged the door .. She heard him say "Fine .. then get the hell out of here " .. and he went out of the house ..
***
Kria fell on her knees .. her head on her bed .. she was sobbing uncontrollably ..
After a while .. she looked at the ceiling "Ma .. please come back .. I want you .. please .. why did you have to leave me .. I feel so alone .. I don't have anyone with me .. "
She was crying harder .. screaming .. "Ma .. Dad .. I can't bear this pain .. I hate to cry .. but I can't help it Ma .. I really want you to hug me.. please come back .. " she was hugging her pillow and crying ..
"Do you really feel I deserve this .. am I so bad .. what did I ask for Ma .. nothing .. Did I not love him unconditionally .. like you loved Dad .. Ma .. am I wrong .. Ma please say something .. I didn't ask anything from Reyaansh .. then why ..then why did he do this .. "
The minute she said Reyaansh's name .. his image flashed in her mind .. then his Dad .. Taani .. she saw the photo frame which he had given her for Christmas , she threw it on the wall .. it broke into innumerable pieces .. seeing that she could feel her heart also broken in a myriad of pieces ..
"I hate you Reyaansh Singhania .. I just hate you .. " she screamed as loudly as she could .. maybe this would reduce some of her pain '

Rey came back after leaving his Dad to the airport .. his Dad seemed to be a little annoyed with Kria .. but he had forgiven her .. he said maybe she didn't like that Rey told him all about her .. maybe she didn't want this relationship to continue for long term ..maybe she hadn't thought of the next step with you .. that is marriage .. maybe she got panicked ..
Rey couldn't believe all this .. Kria was not that type of a girl .. she was and is serious about this relationship .. why will she panic .. it was not that they will get married tomorrow .. why was she reacting so weird ..
He had cooled down a bit .. he sat and thought of all that happened from the previous evening .. nothing was making sense to him .. he had been so happy today that all his problems were solved and he wanted to share it with her .. but what's happened ' Kria won't give such a violent reaction unless there is something really wrong.. Then what could have Taani and Dad said to her .. the more he thought the more confused he got ..
He opened her bedroom door .. and was shocked to see almost all her belongings gone .. he was confused .. where has she gone .. he tried her cell .. but it kept ringing .. he desperately kept trying.. but she didn't pick .. it was now the 50th time he was calling her .. he had sent several messages to her .. but she hadn't replied .. he was worried for her now ..
Just then he got a message "Please don't call me .. Its over between us "
He couldn't believe .. Yes ' they fought ,but that doesn't mean that their relationship is over .. everything could be sorted out by a simple talk .. but she was not ready to talk to him .. he was really not sure if he was at fault .. he didn't think so .. he was sure he hadn't done anything wrong .. except ok .. he had screamed at her for being rude to his Dad .. but wasn't that her fault ..
His head was aching with all these thoughts .. then he realised there is one person whom he can always trust .. he could share everything and ask advice ..
Malhotra Uncle .. he was the legal advisor for Singhania Group of companies .. he was with this company from the time when Rey was not even born .. he was not married and he saw Rey as his son .. at one time Rey's Dad would forget his B'day .. but not Malhotra uncle .. he would know every little detail of Rey .. he was the one who encouraged him for his venture .. for this MS .. Rey had spoken to him about Kria .. but it was not in detail .. now he thought the time has come ..
<This is Rey's side of phone conversation only>
Rey :" Uncle .. this is Rey .. I need your help .. " he narrated everything about his relation with Kria .. their staying together ..Taani .. Dad .. now the fight everything ..
Rey : WHAT !!!
Rey : I don't believe it ...
Rey : Are you sure .. will it work ?
Rey : Yes , I trust you completely ..
Rey : Ok Uncle .. I won't be in contact with Kria '
