CHAPTER 7
Never Think Hard about the PAST, It brings Tears...
She hoped to get into a good firm and applied to several for internship, she needed to pay for jai's studies from high school to college, she needed to free of her moms loans and'. Her thoughts were distracted by a loud and jolly kimmy and rahul'
'Babes what are you so lost in thought about? Its over yaar, can you believe it?
Manyata smiled looking at kimmy's glowing face'
'Ay rahul, take a close up of us after our final paper' aur haan babes please remove those worry lines from your forehead, lets make a good memory''
She said tickling manyata's side who burst out laughing'
While rahul clicked away, his eyes smiling at manyata and kimmy. They were brilliant together and these past 4 years have gone by so quickly, he would miss them especially manyata' unknown to her he had a crush that he has never acted on for fear of jeopardizing their friendship and now they were all set to embark on new chapters in their life'.
'Come na rahul.. for once get away from behind the camera and stand in front of it..'
'No Kimmy.. you know I am not very photogenic.. '
'Kya?' she burst out laughing
'You are not getting selected for the next MR UNIVERSE' so relax'
Manyata laughed watching kimmy pinch rahuls cheek as he turned red.. she would definitely miss this.
Unnathi too was busy burying herself in work to keep her mind occupied and finally something stood out of the lot'.
'These are outstanding, superb. I love it' who do they belong to?'
'Mam that is Kim Malhotra's designs'
Unnathi looked at and knew she had found Lves new designer'while the model herself caught her attention
'Who is the model? I don't recall seeing her in Lves Portfolio?'
'Mam, she is a friend of Ms Malhotra's not a professional model, Infact Ms Malhotra refused to use any of our models and insisted that only her friend would do her designs justice ..and Ms Malhotra had her own photographer as well'
' Very interesting ' complete package. The photo's are brilliant, as are the designs and the model''
She knew you talent when she saw it and it didn't get better than that. She just wanted to confirm with her brother who would make the final decision'
Komal went to visit like she has been ever since finding out about his condition. He looked so frail unlike the man she married and fell in love with, the man who gave her the most priceless gifts. Manyata was on her case knowing so well that something is wrong but it was not right for her to be worried about all this not now as she sat for her final paper. She had worked so hard and komal would never let anything get in the way, besides komal was happy to see her daughter living a some what normal life, all credit due kimmy and jai of course who always looked for ways to involve her in their hairbrained nonsensical brilliance'(lol) 😆
She knew very well manyata will be so upset knowing that she had lied to them and sneaking out to meet him, the real challenge was could she actually'.
Her thoughts were startled when she felt soft, small hands wiping her tears that she didn't know were rolling down her cheek
'Mat roh please.. vaarna meh bhi roh loongi'
And there it was those eyes' that innocence'the familiarity and looking into them she knew she could?
'Oh Bhaiya what a night.. she turned out to be quite a freak,and i just to get her out of my system.. '
Uday smirked as he listened to rohans latest conquest, (all he knew was that he had to get a certain Ms Innocence Pesonified out of his head.. system'barely listening to rohan who obviously was devouring getting laid as his getting out of his system maybe thats he needed... her wriggling beneath him.. NO F*&K NO) they were to have lunch in his office courtesy of unnathi who finally walked in with the food.
'Bhaiya you seem very distracted? Is everything ok?'
Uday looked up instantly and totally calm and composed..
'Yes everything is fine..
'Bhaiya I don't remember seeing that look in your eyes, something has definitely gotten under your skin and I know its not work' WHO IS IT?'
Uday looked at him impassively, not saying a word. Thankfully unnathi walked in distracting rohan of him.. (F%*K what the hell)
'Oh god unnathi, what took you so long? I was about to faint from starvation? (lol rohan can be quite the drama king)
Unnathi rolled her eyes at him as they both argued while uday watched the two of them. He was glad his choti was finally snapping out of the despondent slumber she was under'. He would know soon enough who caused it.. rest assured.
'Oh shut up rohan'.. Lves is 20 minutes away from the media house and I still had to stop to pick up the food'
Rohan dug into his food while and looked up again at uday and then back at unnathi who nodded. Both siblings have been observing him for the past few weeks' they said nothing though knowing full well he was not the kind of person who lets out. He is emotionally withdrawn.. as their mom says..rahul decided to make for light conversation'
'You see dear sister that's the difference between you and me, haven't you heard of deliveries? '
Unnathi was about to opened her mouth but uday intervened..
'Ok rohan that's fine, now eat up I don't what you fainting considering how you were about to from starvation'
Unnathi smiled a genuine one. Uday enjoyed this, he missed this' and the siblings missed it'
'Ok choti so tell me hows it going at Lves?'
'Bhaiya its just brilliant and I am loving it, thank you so much for the opportunity'
'Choti what did I tell you about thanks''
'Haan.. I know but anyway the main reason for this lunch is'
' You see bhaiya, I knew it.. this lunch .. she wants something else? Now what do you want from bhaiya? and whatever it is he is booked for tonight'.with me that is'
And the twosome were at it again while uday shook his head arguing about who their brother loves more.. unnathi wanting to be let in on the boys night out and rohan naturally refusing her, both were always jealous of when the other spent more time with him. Uday listened to their nonsense carry on for a while before he couldn't handle it any longer'letting his glass drop from his hand, shattering into many tiny pieces and with it causing instant silence, shock and worry in their eyes.. that was the only way or they would never stop'
'Kya hua bhaiya? ' both jumped up in concern checking his hand to make sure he was ok'
'Bhaiya tum theek ..
'Please relax and finish eating your lunch.. you two still behave like 5 year olds..'
He sighed taking in a deep breath while they both looked at each other, even though only a few years older than them, he was so much more mature and refined than they will ever be at his age. He grew up so fast without being a child'
Both simultaneously'
'Sorry bhaiya'😕
He looked up shaking his head barely containing his smile, which is not something he often did.
'Its ok, now choti tell me what you were going to say.. and this time with no interruptions.' looking directly at rohan
'Bhaiya I finally found Lves new designer' and new face' you have to have a look at this'
Uday loved seeing her enthuism as did rohan, sure they fought like any normal brother and sister did but the glow in her eyes when she was passionate about something brought a smile to both the brothers face
'Choti if you are happy with everything then go for it, there is need for me to see this model or designs, I trust your judgement and one more thing you are more than welcome to join us tonight'
'Kya?' Rohan looked muffled and annoyed.. for him it was meant to be a night of getting wild, drunk and laid ( lol rohan.. rohan') and he now his baby sister was tagging along which meant he would spend more time trying to keep his brothers hands off any guy that looks in her direction than chatting up potential the one's' (lol).. damn unnathi.. for one night can we go somewhere without bhaiya getting his hands dirty..
Unnathi smiled and winked at rohan annoying him further.. ' sure bhaiya I would love to go out, its been a while since .. and besides we reason to celebrate lves new designer and new face.. under new management that is'
'Well unnathi unlike bhaiya I cant say much about your judgement''(lol) and I want to see this designs so without further ado..'(trying to sound as serious and businesslike as possible)
'Rohan you only want to see the model not the designs.. (lol, yes rohan and his ulterior motive, his penchant weakness for women)
Unnathi switched off the light and turned on the projector cutting rohan off before he could speak as the slideshow played on'..
OMG, .. yes thank you god, thank you babes, thank you jai'
Kimmy was running up and down and screaming while jai and manyata stood speechless looking at her, her phone call left her in this mood'both began smiling as they realized that was THE CALL' that she had been waiting for, the call that they had been waiting for'.
She went to explain how her designs have been selected and she the official designer for Lves Fashion House. Not only that, she had a meeting with them next week infact not just her but her whole team'.
'KYA?' Jai jumped around excitedly
'Yes jai, the whole team, that includes my gorgeous model manyata, our brilliant photographer Rahul and my super talented make up artist .. Jai'
Jai was screaming like crazy while manyata covered her ears. She was so happy for kimmy, her dreams were finally going to be a reality' what she couldn't understand was why they wanted to see her?? She was no professional model and if anything she spoilt the designs and photo's'
'You know what this means naa?'
Jai screamed' ' PARTEEE'..
'And no babes we are not even going to listen to anything, we have double reason to celebrate..APART FROM EXAMS BEING OVER THAT IS'.'
Manyata hugged her dearest friend tightly tears creeping in her eyes overwhelmed with happiness that things were working out for her. She wasn't going to let anything ruin her happy moment'.
'COUNT ME IN''
Jai and Kimmy highfived listening to manyata'.and all burst out laughing
***************************************************************************
Rohan was impatient waiting to actually see the new designs and model his sister was raving about instead all they were looking at was a blank screen. Uday excused himself attending a phone call further down his massive and plush office leaving unnathi fidgeting with the projecter annoyed that's not working.. and rohan was not helping either running off his mouth with smart comments'(lol)😆
Unnathi looked at her watch realizing the time, she needed to get back for a meeting while rohan was smiling at his phone (probably another one of his floozies.. ) she sighed looking back at uday who looked every bit the handsome, young, mature tycoon was. She also noticed his pre occupied behavior lately and knowing it couldn't be business' rohans voice distracted her'
' Something is definitely up with bhaiya.. you noticed it also?'
Unnathi nodded agreeing with him.. ' I wonder what though? Mom says its definitely a lady?'
'Bhaiya in love?? No way'.besides he was with SULTRY AND OH SO SEXY DENISE THE ANOTHER NIGHT'no offence to denise I am sure apart from the good sex she has something else to offer but I cant imagine her as my sister in law' not that bhaiya would even think of getting married. We know his philosophy to life''
'Shut up rohan.. bhaiya will get married when the time is right and not to some some divorced skanky vixen like denise who loves only his money and body.. but someone who will touch his heart and his world and love him for his trueself''
Uday had just ended his conversation and was listening to the both worry about him'.he cleared his throat making his presence known..
Unnathi picked up her handbag and rohan stood up '
'Bhaiya I have to get back to Lves, meeting. I really wish you have seen the designs but the disc I stuck, will get someone sort out and remove disk later'
'No problem choti, besides I told you. Its your choice, your company to do as you please'
She smiled and hugged him before leaving
'Ok bhaiya will see you tonight..
'And where are you off to ? another potential THE ONE?'
Uday smirked while rohan looked at him offended.
'Laugh bhaiya.. your day will come ..'
'For christs sake rohan.. how many times do I have to tell you love does not exist. You just mistake lust for love''
'No bhaiya I may not know the world like you do but I know love exists everytime I look at mom and dad. And whether you believe it or not, it will find you and hit you like a HURRICANE
Uday shook his head as he watched rohan walking off.. 'Hit me like a HURRICANE.. not in this F*&%kn lifetime brother'( Well Mr Singh seems like you don't take rohans predictions very seriously.. there is most definitely a Hurricane, Cyclone, Tornado ' approaching, unfortunately unlike weather predictions and taking precautions.. I really don't think you can go very far and avoid this hurricane'..brace yourself Mr Singh) 😆
...
And presenting KM Couture'..by kimmy
Uday looked up from his phone to his surprise as the projector started playing and was left 😲
****************************************************************************
Whilst manyata was worried about her mom and how lately she was so different and withdrawn.
Jai was busy deciding what to wear for the party and courtesy of Lves new designer she didn't have to look very far with clothes threwn across her bed.
'Jiji meh tumse baath kar rahe hoon? where are you lost?'
Manyata shook her head breaking her thoughts'
'Jai I am worried about gudiya, its been a while and we haven't spoken to or seen her' I just hope she is ok'
'Oh jiji please don't worry, gudiya is fine I am sure of it. Her school is closed naa for vacation so she is probably out enjoying''
'Haan but she would have called to let us know' and even ma is behaving so strangely. I thought she would have been home by now, eager to know how the final paper was'
'Jiji you know mum is busy and preoccupied with vijay bhai's engagement preparations. She has so much to do and worry about, she is probably delivering her mouth watering gulab jamuns and burfee's as we speak''
Manyata smiled and nodded vaguely even though she just felt something else'
'Now jiji lets get ready, we have to celebrate'.aur haan you know we are all using the same colour.. no debates.. get ready. Aur haan vijay bhai is meeting us, everyone is a party mood so now you cheer up and just enjoy theek hai, kimmy and karan will be here shortly to pick us up'.
Manyata sighed as she picked up the clothes jai had laid out for her.. she walked to her dressing table looking at her reflection. She looked so different, her hair and face after the pampering yet painful process to look good, she couldn't understand how women went through that every month just to look good.. reflecting on how far she has come. Finally an end to her college life and start to something new and promising.. she had to stay focus and work towards building them a better life.
'jiji are you ready''
Jai stopped in her tracks looking at her sister, manyata looked up and was waiting for the LIKE SERIOUSLY JIJI WHAT ARE YOU USING? THAT'S NOT WHAT I LEFT OUT FOR YOU'. but instead there was nothing but a smile '
' You look beautiful jiji.. like always. Only you could pull off this look so well'
'Ok enough now let go, karan will disturb the whole neighbourhood with his hooting'😆😉
