Destructive Desires

CHAPTER 7

SATVIK POV

''so Mr. Singhania we should discuss this idea over a few drinks sometime'' Suraj Aujha said to me showing his fake and disgusting smile

''we'll see about it'' saying this I left from there not wanting to stay a moment , I found Karan and stood there with him but my eyes were searching for her , where is she has she not come yet , my thoughts were broken when the gate opened and she steeped in all her glory looking like a vixen in that black saree and uff that red rose in her hair was not helping me at all , I looked around to see that all eyes were on her and why not.

She met her family and soon the cake cutting was done now it was time to give gifts and all so first our family went there and all I can see was her , controlling my urge I collected my act together my mother and father gave Shreya the gifts then my brother gave her the gift now everyone was looking at me waiting for me to give her something

'' I have sent her gift to her office you can check with your assistant'' I said to Shreya maintaining my stoic face , I didn't wanted to give her a gift at all specially in front of Sandhya but it would be bad on my already bad reputation so I sent her gift to the office , indicating that I only brought it out of courtesy and out of all those people only Sandhya and her grandfather understood my intention because I saw them smiling a bit

''thankyou Mr. Singhania '' Shreya said lowering her eyes and blushing a bit what the hell is that reaction

''why are you calling him Mr. Singhania it feels so distant'' my mother said glaring towards me looking for an answer ''it is feeling the way it should distant after all Miss. Kapoor and I are not that much close''

''you—'' my mother was cutoff by Ram Kapoor

''you all haven't met my lovely granddaughter'' he said looking towards her and she just smile at all of us ''hello MR and MRS Singhania''

''hmm you haven't changed at all same old style of clothing but good for you , ohh Seema it must've been so difficult for you to see your daughter getting astray like this'' my mother said in a taunting tone and before Seema Kapoor could say anything her grandfather said ''Mrs. Kapoor if this is the way you reply to a polite greeting I suggest that you should learn your manners all over again'' I bet he wanted to say more but couldn't and my mother was controlling her anger to ease the situation my father said ''well it's nice to see you after so long I hope you are well''

She just nodded and looked towards Rohan and all I can think of was don't look at him he is not worth it ''hello Mr. Singhania'' she said with a curt nod and didn't even bothered to wait for his reply and turned towards me looking in my eyes she smiled and said ''Mr. Narayan nice to meet you'' and I laughed out loud because she is the only person to figure out that I hate my surname and she never once called me by that ohh you know me well

Everyone was looking at me but I ignored them and replied to her ''same here Miss .Kapoor''

The greeting session came to an end and everyone was mingling with eachother there were talks of business , fashion and what not I got an imp call to find a quiet place I moved away from the party

After ending the call I wandered around the house every wall had a picture on it be it there family pic or the childhood pics of Tarun and Shreya but there was none of Sandhya seeing this my heart ached for her so this is the kind of home you've been living in

''are you even listening what are you saying'' I heard Sandhya scream at someone following her voice I came across a balcony where her grandfather and she was standing and from what I can see it was not a very happy conversation

''first you forced me to come here now you want this from me you are the only person to ever care about me I didn't expect this from you'' she said in a cracking voice I just stood there listening to their conversation

''it's final you are getting married and that to with a man that I choose for you'' her grandfather said in a strict tone and my whole body got froze married of course I knew that she would marry someone someday but listening to it like this left a bitter taste in my mouth , I left there with my mood ruined

I don't know what happened after that balcony incident but somehow I found myself sitting at this family dinner with the Kapoor's they were all chatting and laughing but all their voices were blurred in my head ''Mr.Singhania'' I was jolted out of my trance when Shreya called me ''yes''

''ohh I was wondering that for whom you bought that expensive necklace the other day'' I knew it she would use it against me , everyone was looking at me for an answer ''I just bought it on a whim maybe I can give it to my future partner'' lie a total lie I would never get married finding it a plausible excuse everybody just got back to their own food.
