Note: In this story Mandaar is just a business man. He has no connection to the deshmukhs.
Raghav and Pallavi were all dressed as they left their house to attend a business party hosted by fellow business man Mandaar Deshmukh.
Raghav being Raghav he did not want to attend, he would have preferred staying home with his wife and spending some quality time with her. However, Pallavi made sure to drag him to the party as a business deal with Mandaar was in the talks. Pallavi knew that striking this deal would be very beneficial for Raghav's business. Pallavi already felt guilty for making Raghav leave his illegal ways behind as he has been struggling a bit now in his business. So ever since she heard that Mandaar has invited them to his party, she wasn't going to miss out on the chance to let her husband's business reach its maximum potential.They reached the venue and got out of their car. Raghav sighed knowing this is going to be a long night. He looked towards his wife who stood in front of him adjusting his tie as she stood on her tippy toes to place a kiss on his cheeks, assuring him that everything will be just fine. He smiled as he grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers together and entered the party.
It was packed. More than 200 people were present. However, as soon as they entered everyone's eyes were on them. They looked like a power couple. Truth be told, they are a power couple. All the women in the room were drooling over Raghav but they were smart enough not to make a move. The men in the room were lustfully staring at Pallavi, whistling here and there. Pallavi was too focused on the girls eyeing her husband that she was completely unaware of the looks she was receiving from the men. However, Raghav noticed the looks. He did not like it one bit. He wrapped his arm around her waist, the grip tightened as he pulled her more into him. His possessive side took over. He huffed silently to himself as he walked up to Mandaar with Pallavi glued onto his side.
M: Hello Mr. Rao, I'm glad you could make it tonight.As Mandaar was saying this, rather than looking at Raghav whilst talking, he was eyeing Pallavi instead. Raghav felt his blood fill with jealousy but he brushed it off.
R: I'm glad to be here Mr. Deshmukh, shall we talk about our meeting for tomorrow?
M: What's the rush Raghav, if you don't mind me asking, who is this beauty by your side?
R: She is my wife, Mrs Pallavi Raghav Rao
As Raghav said that, he made sure to emphasise the word Wife, to subtly tell Mandaar to back off. Unfortunately for him, Mandaar wasn't one to back off.
M: it's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Rao
He said, as he placed a kiss on her hand.P: it's nice too meet you too and Please call me Pallavi
She said smiling.
Raghav looked at his wife in disbelief.
" she wouldn't like it when I'd call her Pallavi when we weren't married and here she is telling this bandaar to call her Pallavi" he said in his mind scoffing silently. He loosened his grip on her and told her he's going to go get a drink. Pallavi nodded as she continued to talk to Mandaar.
Raghav had went over to the bar and was waiting for his drink. He looked over to where his wife was and his blood boiled even more. Here she was laughing with Mandaar as if they have known each other forever." she doesn't laugh like this with me" he thought to himself.
They were engaged in a proper conversation. Mandaar clearly enjoyed her company for other specific reasons. He did not care that she's a married woman. Pallavi only talked to him just to be nice. He was laughing with her whilst playfully touching her shoulder. Raghav saw it happen. He couldn't give a single damn about his drink and went back to his wife's side.
P: you're back, what happened to your drink?
R: turns out the drink I was looking for was already taken by someone else ( he slightly huffed as he glared at Mandaar)
