Deal To Love

Celebrations.

After the whole one hour, Rai and Keshav finally reached their destination that is Singhania's Royal Palace. They got a quick freshen up session to relax before hosting the party.
The whole palace was decorated with expensive jhoomars and lights.

“Arrey, Arrey we ordered baby pink na? Why you brought yellow? And what's with this.. I will deduct your payment if you don't decorate according to the theme...” Rai explained the workers who were processing the decorations.

“ And what are you doing now beta?” a woman asked Rai. “ Yaa currently I'm assistant of Mr Keshav..”

“O I see, are you both in a relationship?” she whispered. “Don't get me wrong child, if you are having something like that I have no issues. But look at yourself you are so beautiful still if you are now single that's so bad nah?” she put her hands on her shoulders. Before Rai could reply anything, Keshav shrugged her hands off from Rai's shoulders and pulled Rai in another direction.

“Hey, what is this huh? Leave me or other wise she will get to know the truth.” She wriggled to come off from him. The more she pushes him the more he pulled her to him.

“ Wow! Now I'm your husband right, I just wanted to see my wife.. Can't I see my wife?” He pouted his lips and here Rai was not melted at all. Instead she pushed him hard. “ Keshav! You are too much. Yaar understand the situations na.. Now what if the lady there will think something wrong?”

“ I don't care only five minutes... then you can go... And for my sake let me remind you.. I'm free tonight.. Let's go for clubbing?”

“What? Clubbing? Are you gone crazy? Baba will never allow me...”

“ Don't worry I'm with you anyways.” He winked. “That's the only thing to worry about..” she muttered. Keshav pulled her bare waist and loosened her bun. A red tint appeared on her cheeks. “You know that's one of Chauhan Aunty's friends.. I pulled you here cause I don't want her to utter anything regarding your marriage with someone else.”  Rai's eyes lited up. Millions of butterflies started to dance in her belly. Because she somehow got his reasons for his insecurities. And now she only wanted to hear those words from his lips. She felt an urge to be touched by him when his mint flavoured breathes were stroking her silky loose strands. Keshav bowed down to her and kissed her lips. They looked at each other and smashed their lips again. Thankfully it was storeroom and the door was closed to respect their privacy.  Rai moaned when Keshav smooched  her crook. He  rubbed her spot and sucked it. Rai took his lips and again kissed them. Keshav looked at Rai.

“ Be ready, tonight.. we are going somewhere..”

“ Are you serious? You are not kidding? I mean we are really going to club?”

Keshav looked at other side slowly walked off from there totally ignoring her question and most importantly her. Rai phewed her strand before she saw her in the mirror. She noticed the red marks in her neck and quickly  rushed to her room. Least she knew that what's gonna happen with her.

“ This Keshav  would embarass me  someday. But look at me I am a complete idiot.” She was cursing him while searching the concealor.  But this time, her luck didn't supported her. Rai palmed her forehead. “O God! yeh abhi khatam hona tha?” she sighed. “ Monica di se maangoo?” “Nahi Nahi, she will tease me...”

“Why, will I tease you Rai?” Monica came out of the washroom. “You? Here?”

“Oh! Vasanti aunty asked us to stay here as the relatives had already booked the guest rooms.”

“O Ha ha.. Aai told me...” Rai smiled sheepishly. Monica noticed her nervousness. “ Daal mein kuch kaala hain...umm...”

“What?”

“ You are hiding something from me right?” Rai paced back and shook her head, “ no ----- no I'm not.”

Monica squeezed her eyes suspiciously when Rai was busy with her hair. “ Remove your hair, Rai it's so hot today... tie up your hair.. you look so awkward.”

“Hmmm.. okay!” “Rai sachchi sachchi bata na What the hell you are hiding from me?” Monica crossed her arms.
“Umm, I'm just lacking concealor. Do you have any?” she looked down while talking.

“ Fine, but I don't think you have anything to hide?” she said while unzipping her makeup pouch.

“No look my dark circles are so ugly..” She defended herself. Monica noticed some red marks  side her neck.

“ Your neck looks so red? What happened?”

“ Nothing! ”

Monica removed her strands from her shoulders and regretted to see the hickeys. Rai's face became red in embarrassment. Monica looked at her.
“Is it Keshav?” she asked. Rai nodded.
Monica bursted out laughing. “ Rai, you are hiding this?” she laughed.
“Sshhh! Take it easy..” She calmed her down.

Monica calmed herself and closed the door. She took Rai and asked, “Since when?”

“ Look.. aren't you supposed to be with our Uma? Huh?” “ It's totally okay.. Rai. She is with Ajji, Basant and Baba. Tell me the hot news .”

She pressed her lips and sighed. “After the case, we decided to work out our marriage. Like normal couples... So you know couple couple arrange marriage couple...” saying this she ran away with the concealor.

“Couple Couple Arrange marriage couple? What do you mean....” she looked up and saw her nowhere. “ She ran away. Shy girl..” she smirked and left the room with a smile.

After sometime, the guests started to arrive greeting and gifting Monica.

“Ahem Ahem!” Keshav cleared his throat before speaking in the microphone.

“Ladies and Gentlemen... We Singhania's whole heartedly welcome you all today for the welcome party of Uma Bhatt urf Daughter of Basant Bhatt and Monica Chauhan. ” He started anchoring.

“ So we will start the programme soon but before I would like to call my dear friend.. Dr Basant Bhatt.” Basant came there and took the mic from him.

“ Today, Uma was crying badly. She needed milk but Monica was not there . She was in bathroom. So I held her up and was playing with her. She laughed and seeing her laugh I smiled. My heart filled with immense joy. She is the ray of hope for us. Before Uma, u wasn't same man with Monica. I use to fight with her. Many times  I hurted her not worrying her feelings. But she didn't paced back. She didn't left me. I always suggested her to leave me. I was messed up before marrying her. But soon we decided to marry. After marrying her, I started to feel the real me within the soul. And when I... when I got her pregnancy reports I became the most happiest man. ” He choked as he became little emotional. Monica wiped her tears remembering the past days.

“Since Uma came, my life changed. And this two girls are responsible for that. Uma and her mother. Monica I love you.” Keshav side hugged him giving him some emotional support. After Basant walked off towards Monica. Keshav held his mic. “So now..” his words remain unfinished as his mic stopped working and all the lights went off.

“ What happened to lights”.  “ What the hell happened to light”

The guests there started to gossip and murmers about the system of lights in the royal palace. It was then when their murmuring stopped as a beam of light spotted a girl.
