Bodyguard of the Heiress

Chapter 74

Tina

"Why do you want to come here? Your Maasi and that Balwinder will create problems for sure. I'll come there and do all the necessary things."

Papa ji, talks in a low voice and in English, so that Maasi doesn't hear him.

"Para unka pita ji tuhanu sariam nu sahi dhaga nala sada dena cahude hana." I stretch my hand out from the balcony of our room, playing with the rain to calm my nerves and look at Rudhran ji who is trying to put Taran to sleep. (But his father wants to properly invite you.)

"Well, from what you have said, they are affluent."

"They are billionaires, papa ji."

"Then they will want to check your genuinity. Even middle class people like us won't marry our child away to some stranger. Let them visit, I'll manage your Maasi and Bal..." The phone is plucked away from my hand and I turn in shock.

"Sat Sri Akal, Papa ji. Main aap ki daamad bol raha hoon." I look at Rudhran ji shocked as he speaks in hindi. "Aap befikre rahiye, main sab kuch samaloonga." He looks at me. "Day after tomorrow, around 11 am... Sure, papa ji... Now I'll hang up, we need to wake up early... Good night." (Hello, uncle. This is your son-in-law speaking. You please don't worry, I'll take care of everything.)

"Aap ko Hindi malum hai?" I blink at him in surprise. (Do you know Hindi?)

"Thoda Bahut." He smiled and lifted my jaw up, closing my mouth that dropped open when he spoke in Hindi. "Why are you and your father so scared of them?" He half sits on the balcony railing before giving my phone back to me. (I know enough.)

"As I already told you, they were planning to get me married immediately after I landed in India. Till now, they don't know that I have returned. " I look down and fiddle with my phone cover.

He lifts my face to look up at him. "How much does your father know about us?"

"As much as your parents know about us." I turn around and hold the railings, looking into the dark grounds of the mansion. "Before we left for our marriage, I informed him that I'm getting married. He tried to stop me as I have never mentioned about you. After we cooked up the story to say in court, I told him the same story."

"So he doesn't know about the deal?" He lifts his eyebrows and leans his head down a little to look at my face.

"How will a father allow his daughter to marry for a deal? First, He was not willing as I'm marrying an unknown person." I release a heavy sigh. "When I told him that you are Thea's family, he was relaxed. Still, he doesn't know that you are her uncle and you have a son Taran." When we were in college we barely used to call her by her real name as she revealed it only when we were in our final year, so my dad knows her as Thea.

"What?" He steps down from the railing and stands straight. "Why would you hide those factors?"

"No father will allow his daughter to marry an older man" He glares at me. "I mean a man who is older than the average age gap in this current generation." I turn my face away to hide the smile trying to creep up my face.

He snaps his fingers in front of my eyes. "Why don't you laugh at my face itself instead of turning around." He crosses his arms against his chest and his biceps bulge under his t-shirt which I try to avoid seeing. "And, initially, I was not ready for your deal proposal because you were younger than the average age gap. Since I couldn't find anyone until the morning, I agreed to the deal. Also, didn't I flag a green signal for Raj Thooriga's relationship?"

"Hailo ji, FYI, Thooriga is your niece and you are not her father. Also, you are friends with Raj bro so you know about him and their relationship is a true love." I take a step closer to him in anger. "But my papa ji doesn't know about you. And yeah, I proposed the deal because I had an instant connection with Taran and later realised our connection is because we are the same in a way and I don't want him to go through what I did."
