The company that had invited Modi industries was having a party the last one, all the other competitors were invited, Aham was nervous n spoke to Jigar n kokila about it. Gopi heard the whole conversation, whilst she poured tea to all. Rashi had gone off to her one two many shopping trips.
Jigar tells Aham that all will be well, that he will win this project kokila listened proudly, Gopi listened n prayed that they win this project.
Rashi comes back from shopping n shows a black dress to jigar this is what i will be wearing she tells jigar, Jigarji last time we went to the cocktail party i was so embarrassed i was wearing a sari n all the other company wives were wearing dresses, jigar turns round Rashi you should be proud that you wore your sari that is our traditions, Rashi cuts him off yes yes jigar ji i know but i am wearing this today.
Kokila calls Gopi, Gopi vahu i brought this sari for you black n silver instead of wearing the pallu in the front you shall do it to the back is that understood, ji maji n Gopi vahu you shall leave your hair open no pins.
Aham gets ready looking very dashing silver shirt n black trouser n a nice fitted jacket, he shouts to kokila n gopi to hurry up., kokila tells Aham to go down n shall follow in 5 minutes, Aham tells her ok n leaves.
Gopi vahu are you ready,
Gopi comes out she looked perfect her very glamourous, her hair well done n her maroon lipstick, kokila just stood their shocked ,gopi vahu really sundar she tells her kis ke nazar nahi laga so she takes black kajol from her eyes n places it behind her neck, Gopi smiles.
Kokila n Gopi leave the two bedroom suit, jigar n rashi had next suit further down from them, kokila sees jigar n greets him behind him Rashi wearing a black dress kokila looks at her n asks if she could get one any smaller because this one was a bit too long for her (the dress was above rashi knees) Rashi just smiles then mumbles least i dont look like a christmas tree looking at Gopi, Rashi did you say something, nahi kaki ji n Rashi looks away. Rashi christmas trees are usually red n green n sometimes they do have white trees, Rashi looks at kokila in shock, gopi is wearing black n silver. Ji kaki ji sorry.
Jigar looks at rashi angrily these days she got on his nerves i want this i want that, if you dont buy me i need this, you dont care about me you just care for your own family, frankly jigar just could'nt wait to get away from her. Everyone gets into the elevator, jigar asks where aham is? kokila replies he is already at the banquet hall he wanted to get their early to make a good impression. They get to the hall n Gopi tells kokila to go ahead as she needs to just go to the bathroom. kokila says ok we shall go in n meet u in there. Gopi was already nervous she did not want anything to go wrong with her n aham she had some wonderful romantic moments with him n this time he instigated them not her asking her to come skiing with him, go up the mountain in cable cars.
Gopi starts to walk in but she still had butterflies, she gets to the door n the doorman opens the door she takes a big breath n walks in, Gopi looks to see if she can see Ahamji, kokila anyone, she then thinks she gone to the wrong party, she looked so innocent.
Aham who was having a conversation with Mr swaltz n other competitors, Mr swaltz was looking round n his eyes looked towards the entrance, Aham is that your wife, Aham looks up n then starts to go red all the other wives were wearing western wear n their gopi in a sari what was he going to do with her. Mr swaltz looks at Aham she is very beautiful, Aham go n get her she seems to be look for you, Aham smiles yes Mr swaltz. kokila also heads towards the door as she could see that Gopi did not see her, Aham passes her n smiles towards Gopi puts his hand out n tells her come. Aham holding Gopis hand, kokila says Ahams we have been looking for you everywhere, mom come with me i have someone important for you to meet. Aham holding on to Gopis hand n puts his arm round his mom. Mr swaltz i would like you to meet the two most important women in my life, my wife Gopi, n my mom Mrs kokila modi. Mr swaltz looks at aham so this is your family. Mr swaltz puts out his hand to shake Gopis but instead Gopi puts her hands together n says jai shree krishna, so Mr swaltz puts his hands to gether as well Aham you will have to repeat this to me Aham replies Jai "jai" shree "shree" Krishna " krishna" mr swaltz repeats it jai shree krishna Gopi n smiles then he turns to kokila n says jai shree krishna. Aham i am surprised that she did not wear western clothing like the other wives, its funny we in the western world love to see our wives dress like yours it is so beautiful, i see your wife is traditional we sometimes forget about our cultures n dress differently just because we are in a different country. plse tell your wife she is beautiful as a diamond, Aham looks at Gopi who is smiling not understanding a word that has been said but aham just looked at her for a moment then he says i will tell you later what mr swaltz said, Gopi smiles, kokila looks at aham nahi you will tell her now, Aham looks at kokila then repeats everything that mr swaltz said to gopi. Gopi smile n says danavar thank you.
Everyone sits down on their tables Aham looks at jigar n tells him off why rashi did not wear her sari, kokila looks at rashi aham dikra leave it. rashi looked miffed at jigar.
Mr swaltz begins to talk n says everyone here is waiting to see who will get the project i have already decided which company i would like to work with, for me it just not about the project but also how a person works n relates to people around them, be it his wife his mother, father etc. One reason i chose this company was for their traditions not just the company but his wife n family as well. i have been observing all of you quite closely, i needed someone who is reliable n works hard but is also happy with their family as well, n i have seen that, everyone in the hall are looking at their wives n smiling except Aham he looks at kokila she smiles to him, he looks at Gopi who is staring n listening, even though she doesnt understand anything she is paying attention, Aham looks at rashi who looks bored n is fidgeting with her nails then he looks round n sees the other wives all doing the same as rashi. They say behind every great man their is equally a great woman n have to say i was impressed with his wife more because she did not shake my hand,she did not wear western clothing, she did not say how wonderful her husband is? instead she said jai shree krishna At this point Aham looks at Gopi who is still oblivious into what Mr swaltz is saying. Mr modi can you n your wife come here plse. By now all the other competitors are all looking at their wives angry. Aham tell Gopi thank you for being his wife n tells her why he is thanking her. He holds her hand n walks to the front, Mr swaltz says congratulations Mr modi the last 10% was the deal clincher n your wife clinched that deal for you. Mr swaltz lowered his voice so the conversation was heard by aham only, Aham my wife met your wife a few days ago all she talked about how wonderful this girl was, many wives were there your mother n wife also my wife had fallen whilst getting out of the car most of the wives here sniggered n laughed instead of helping her, Gopi came out in her sari -5c n helped her she had hurt herself on her hip that is why she is not here.
A few days ago Aham remember shouting at Gopi as she was sneezing n had fever, mom forced him to give her medicine, he remebers telling her why she went out in just her sari she explained that a elderly lady had fallen but he didnt listen to her just walked off. Aham my wife just told me the only one who wore traditional wear that is what captured me the most about your wife.
Aham n Mr swaltz signed the contract everyone clapped half heartly except kokila n jigar who were clapping loud. The dinner finished on the way out you could hear the husbands fighting with their wives why could'nt they wear saris. Aham just holds Gopi hand n left kokila proud. In the elevator Aham begins to tell the lady that had fallen, rashi interupts uff that old lady that gopi helped out, gopi next time dont touch people like that you dont know what they have, Aham shouts why we might just catch something standing next to you. Then he tells why mr swaltz gave contract because Gopi helped his wife, kokila proud my gopi vau is like this Aham dikra, Aham smiles Gopi blushes, jigar says bhabi well done if it werent for you we may not have be able to get this contract, thank you. Rashi just rolls her eyes.
That night Aham holds Gopis hand in bed all night.
The next day everyone leaving all the other wives all wearing saris, kokila smiles n says whats the point now. 😃
hope you enjoyed
