You are the reason for my existence Chp 9 Pg 151 - Page 7

"Khushiji, where are you lost? Here, I am making attempts to talk to you but you are all lost in your own world!!" whined Shyam. He had asked Khushi's hand from her babuji today and he had readily agreed. In fact, he was more than happy from this marriage. Garima and Madhumati were never a problem for him. He smiled as he remembered the first time he had seen Khushi. He was passing from this particular street and thought of eating jalebis. As he approached the shop he saw a girl run past him and say "Babuji! See I got my degree of fashion designing. I stood first in my class!" he saw her jumping up and down from the excitement.

To say she was beautiful was an understatement. All the words put together would also not do justice to explain the beauty that she was. He thought as he approached the shop that no way in hell he is going to let her become someone else's. She will have to become his whether she likes this or not.

"Bhai sahaab , could I get a plate of jalebis?" He asked in his honey coated voice. No one till date has been unaffected from his voice and as usual it didn't disappoint him. It made its charm on the girl's father. Poor old man! He will not realize also, what passed through him. He thought, grinning evilly as he finished his plate of jalebis.

It did not take more than a week for Shyam to come into the good books of Shashi. He had told him that he was a lawyer and had to work from Delhi and Lucknow simultaneously and his parents died when he was twenty three and he was now left alone in this cruel world. Shashi had even invited him to visit his family touched by his words. He came to know that the name of the girl he was obsessed with was Khushi and she had an elder sister named Payal. He impressed Garima and Buaji in no time. He told them how he didn't have a house in Lucknow and needed one immediately. They made him their paying guest , impressed by his honey coated voice and chivalry.

He now started coming to Lucknow every other week. He didn't have any problem in impressing anyone else than Khushi. She was not ready to be anything more than friends with him.

He then changed his strategy and started giving hints to the family that he liked Khushi. He knew that Khushi will not do anything against her family's wish. So, if the family approved of their wedding than no one can stop Khushi from becoming his. He knew that the weakest one was Buaji. He started talking about Khushi in front of her, drooling over her in her presence. He even helped Shashi to win a case. All was going according to his plan and as he had predicted today, Buaji had convinced Shashi to agree to this marriage. Now only if Khushi agreed.

"Huh' you said something Shyamji? Sorry, I didn't listen." said Khushi. She was still thinking about the stranger she met a few hours before. Only the mere thought of him was making her blush. She still remembered the look his eyes had when she opened her eyes after that near death experience. The way his eyes held hers. She couldn't stop herself from drowning in his chocolate brown eyes. She was just as mesmerized by him as he was from her. He was looking like a Greek God sitting in his TATA safari wearing a three piece suit with his black aviators on.

The way "Tum theek ho?" sounded from his mouth. She had never seen a person so much concerned for her. She remembered the smile that came across his lips after seeing her blush from the auto-driver's comment.

She was shocked to see him come after her. She immediately increased her speed and tried to get vanished in the crowd. She remembered her increased heart beats and Dhak-Dhak's when he asked her, her name.

She replied him instantly and ran as fast as she could from there .She came out of her reverie when she heard Shyam's voice again.

"Yes, Khushiji, I was saying that will you marry me?" he asked trying to be as polite as he can.

"Shyamji, are you out of your mind? Didn't I tell you before that we are just friends and I will like to remain that only?" She replied calmly though she was burning from anger inside.

"Now, can you please excuse me? I have work to do." She walked out of the room without giving him another glance.

Khushiji, I will make you mine anyhow. Let's see till how long you can resist me and your family. He thought as he walked out of the room with another plan running in his mind.

Eager to see your feedbacks.Buddy me for pms.
