THE QUEEN AND THE PAWN NOTE PAGE 10

PROLOGUE


As soon as Raman stepped into the prestigious Indira Gandhi International
Airport terminal, he was engulfed by his loud Punjabi family. His
mother effectively managed to embarrass him, publicly at that, with a
few kisses on his cheeks and loud complaints of malnutrition and
ignorance of his health. His brother Romi, and two very lovely
sisters, Simmi and Rinki swarmed around him like bees , purely out
of greed for the many gifts that he had brought from London for them.He
was back in India for good. The Raman Bhalla who
had once been packed off to Oxford by his father no longer existed.
He liked the improved version of himself better. The mistakes of his
past still haunted him. Memories of hurting the person he loved the
most in this world were refreshed every time he had a
nightmare...The Raman Bhalla who had returned intended to rectify
all these mistakes and again be the person she had once fallen in
love with. What did she call him then? Her prince charming...

CHAPTER-1

" Now that my puttar is back, shouldn't we start searching a bride for him Bhallaji?"

The Bhallas were seated in the garden , having their own "chai pe charcha'. The topic being discussed brightened everyone's mood.

" Hold your horses, Toshiji! What do we know? Your puttar might already be having a girlfriend.."

This particular comment by Mr. Ompraksh Bhalla was followed by a riot of laughter. The guests who just entered the garden got very curious on hearing this commotion.

" May we too know the reason behind this pleasant scene before us, Omi?" Mr. Vishwanathan Iyer,asked his best friend .

Raman got up to greet Mr. Iyer, he warmly hugged Madhu. Raman was no less than a son for Mr and Mrs Iyer. Omprakash and Vishwasnathan were like blood brothers. Both will die for each other, will kill for each other. Their wives were no different.

" Toshiji is talking about Raman's marriage, Vishwa..." Mr. Bhalla replied in a warm voice.

"Oho Raman, so ready for marriage?" Mr Iyer asked Raman.

"Yes , uncle." Raman replied in a shy voice.

" Bhai, it is still fashionable to deny first. You don't have to tell everyone that you are desperate to get married!"

" SIMMI!" Raman readily quietened his younger sister.

" Do you have any nice girl in mind, bhaiyya?" Mrs. Bhalla asked while pouring him a cup of tea.

" Santoshi, Mr Kapoor's beti-"

Mrs Iyer words were gently cut off by Raman.

" Maa Papa I love someone..."

" WHAT,Who is that unfortunate soul Bhai?" Romi asked in a dramatic voice.

" Enough you monkeys, ... uncle you know her very well"

" Really Raman?"

" Yes uncle she is none another than Ishitha , your beloved daughter."

Everyone was stunned into silence.

" God! Bhai, Ishitha ? We are so happy..." Simmi said in an excited voice. Her happiness was reflected in Romi and Rinki's eyes as well.

" Romi, take your sisters and leave. We have to talk something seriously with Raman"

The seriousness in Mr Bhalla's voice undid Raman for a moment. Once his younger siblings left the room, Mr Bhalla started talking.

" Raman did Ishitha accept your proposal?"

" What is this Omi ? You know that this alliance is not possible...'

Mr Iyer's words fell on deaf ears. Mr Bhalla was looking at Raman expectantly.

" Papa, Ishitha has no idea about my feelings. In these seven years , we have not even talked properly. But I do love her...I have always loved her. Please don't say no, papa." Raman pleaded.

" I am sorry Raman beta..but this is not possible...there are many things you don't know about Ishitha, you deserve much better..."

" What kind of madness is this Madhu? Ishitha is deserving of a good life like any of us. Whatever happened with Ishitha is more or less my mistake, it was my duty to protect her, but I failed ..." Mr Bhalla's voice was filled with grief.

" We don't blame you or Toshi, you know that Omi!" Mr Iyer said in an equally desperate voice.

" I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING A SINGLE WORD OF WHAT YOU ALL ARE SAYING" Raman's voice revealed his anger and confusion.

" Puttar, you should first talk to Ishitha, we have no right to force our judgement on you. She should be the person who should share her past with you, if she decides to do so. Even after knowing everything if you still want to marry her, me and your papaji will happily welcome her to this house as our daughter-in-law."

Raman walked out of the garden with his mother's words ringing in his ears.
