Part 40

(Hope you all will like this part. Really sorry for updating so late.)

Scene starts in Malhotra Mansion,

Siya was serving breakfast to Savitri and Ram when Ahaan came down.

Savitri: Good morning beta...
Ahaan(with a fake smile): Good morning Maa...
Ahaan's eyes fell on Ram who was busy on his plate. Ahaan knew he did very wrong....not only with Rhea but also with Ram.

It didn't take more than a couple of hours after Kartik and Rhea's wedding how wrong he was. How could he just blackmail his own brother for company's profit? How could he betray Siya whom he considered as his little sister? How could he just like that get Rhea married to Kartik for a deal with KB Group of Industries? How could he misunderstand Kartik's innocence as his biggest weakness? How could he?

Ahaan gulped the lump in his throat and spoke in almost a whisper.

Ahaan: Ram....
Ram didn't respond.
Ahaan cleared his throat and then spoke in a stern yet exhausted tone.
Ahaan: Ram....
Ram looked up from his plate and sat down staring at Ahaan without any words.
Ahaan: Aajki meeting tu attend kar lega akele...pleasee?
Ram nodded without any words.
Savitri: Arrey tu iska bada bhai hain Ahaan....tu ise please bol raha hain? Waise toh tu hamesha kehta rehta tha ki 'bade bhai se kabhi galati ho hi nahi sakti'.
Ahaan(staring at Ram): Galat kehta tha main.....bade bhai se galatiyaan hoti hain....infact kuch aisi galatiyaan hoti hain jo humein sabse chota bana deti hain...sabse.
Savitri(frowning): Tu yeh kya philosophy ke lessons de raha hain subah subah?
Siya(sighing)(staring at Ahaan): Kabhi kabhi life lessons humein philosopher bana dete hain Maa...that too the best ones....jo hum tabhi bann paate hain jab humein apni galatiyon ka ehasaas hota hain.

Savitri frowned really unable to understand the talks. She was about to speak but before that Ahaan left without any words.....ignoring Savitri's order to complete the breakfast.

Ahaan sat down in his car and wiped the tears forming in the corner of his eyes.
Ahaan(in mind): Apni zindagi ki sabse badi galati qubool karne jaa raha hoon main aaj. Iska anjaam jo bhi hoga.....main bhugatne ke liye taiyaar hoon...zindagi bharr.

With fierce determination in his eyes Ahaan drove towards the Oberoi mansion.

Scene shifts to Ritesh's house,

Priya woke up and found her head paining like hell. She felt everything blurr around her until her eyes focused on a figure standing at the door with a tray in his hand...with a glass on it.

It took her a moment to realize that the figure was none other than Ritesh standing at the doorway with a glass full of lemonade for her. Seeing Priya's glare....Ritesh's smile vanished and he kept the tray on the side table of the bed.

Ritesh: Pee lo....(forwarding the glass)....accha lagega.....

Priya hesitantly took the glass and didn't make any eyecontact as she got flashes of whatever happened last night.

Ritesh took the empty glass from Priya's hand and then spoke softly.
Ritesh: Ab kaisa feel kar rahi ho?
Priya: Better....
Ritesh nodded.
Ritesh: Agar tumse ek baat kahu toh.....tum mujhe maarogi toh nahi na?
Priya: Vo toh tumhari baat kar raha hain....
Ritesh: Umm....(looking at her hand)...can I?

Priya sighed and forwarded her hand. Ritesh held it and then spoke softly.

Ritesh(softly): Jo bhi hua....I know use bhool paana is nearly impossible par....
Priya(sighing): Par I will have to forget it....usi mein meri bhalai hain. (Taking a deep breath......) Tumhe pata hain Ritesh....jab humara break up hua tha na....tab mujhe pehli baar aisa feel hua ki mere andar kuch toot gaya hain....koi aisi cheez jo ki mere liye bohot zaroori hain... par main kuch nahi kar paayi tab.(Tears brimming in her eyes)....Aur ab.....firse mera dil toot gaya...aur iss baar bhi main....kuch nahi kar paayi yaar. Yeh sab...hamesha.....(taking a deep breath)(teary eyed)....mere saath hi kyun hota hain hamesha? Harr baar?

Priya's eyebrows frowned and soon she broke down into tears. Ritesh side hugged Priya in a comfortable embrace. Ritesh knew in how much pain Priya was and that it would not be an easy journey to heal her but he would be with Priya in every step and this time forever.

Scene shifts to Oberoi mansion,
The muh dikhai ceremony was going on in the house. Many guests had arrived, all from reputed families. Some came to judge.....meanwhile some came to taunt. Very few came to bless Rhea...honestly.

However, Rhea felt crushed under the weight of the expectations of Neelam and the weight of the jewellery she was wearing.

Rhea(itching her neck)(in mind): Kaha fas gayi yaar? Agar pehle pata hota ki shaadi karne ke baad yeh sab karna parega toh kabhi nahi sochti shaadi ke baare mein. Uff yeh necklace.....kyun hain itni bhaari? Upar se mera gala bhi sookh raha hain.....par paani toh pee nahi sakti...footi qismat meri.

(Breathing heavily).....Calm down Rhea....calm down...bas kuch ghanto ki hi toh baat hain...(closing her eyes)(sighing)....uske baad mukti. Par...ek min....I guess mujhe washroom jaana parega urgent. Par itne saare logon ke beech mein se kaise jaaun uth kar? Ishqi bhi nahi hain jo use bula loon ki chale mere saath. Ab kaun jaaega mere saath? Mera yeh dhai kilo ka lehenga pakdega seedhiyon par? Agar maine pakda kar chalne ki kosish ki toh muh ke bal girungi.....breaking news....Rhea Oberoi giri seedhiyon par muh ke bal...(making a crying face)...hey bhagwaan bacha lo......beizzat hone se...please.....

"Tum theek toh ho na?"asked Shalu whispering.
Rhea(whispering): Haan haan Maa...main bilkul....
Shalu(whispering): Dekho....agar koi problem hain toh bata do..ek baar rasam shuru ho gayi toh uth nahi paaogi.
Rhea(whispering): Actually na....mujhe washroom jaana hain urgent.
Shalu(whispering): Haan toh chalo...main chalti hoon.
Rhea(whispering): Par aap aise...
Shalu(whispering): "Log kya kahenge" waala dialouge mat maarna...I hate it. Chup chaap chalo...main tumhara lehenga pakadti hoon.....
Rhea(whispering)(a little embarrassed): Thank You Maa.....
Shalu nodded with a smile on her face.

Scene shifts to another corner where Vibhor was eating starters in tension after remembering Rishi's orders that Rishabh will work as Vibhor's p.a until he becomes eligible to be the CEO of the firm.

Vibhor can feel Rishabh's eyes on him from a distance. Vibhor turns around only to see Lakshmi standing there with her arms folded. Vibhor hiccups due to fear....continously...one after one until Lakshmi offers him water and his hiccups calm down.

Vibhor didn't make eyecontact and mumbled a thank you for leaving when Lakshmi......

"Mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hain."said Lakshmi.

Vibhor(in mind): Marr gaya.....zaroor yeh baat Rishi sir ke naye order ke baare mein hogi. Inko pakka lag raha hain ki main Rishabh ki jagah lene ki kosish kar raha hoon. Main hamesha aisi situations mein hi kaise fas jaata hoon? Kyun fas jaata hoon?

Lakshmi sighed and held Vibhor's hand, dragging him upstairs.

Vibhor(in mind): Hey Parmeshwara....bacha lena mujhe inke gusse se.

Scene shifts to another corner,
Sameer entered the house with a wide smile on his face when Ayush pulled him to a corner.

Sameer: Kya hain Mr.Oberoi?
Ayush: Mr.Oberoi? Sharam kar le.....baap hoon main tera.....ainda se agar 'papa' keh kar bulana.
Sameer: Vo toh iss janam mein possible nahi hain.
Ayush(sighing): Accha chal chod....yeh bata....(excited)...baat hui Shaanvi se?
Sameer: Kk..kis baare mein?
Ayush: Shaadi ke baare mein....aur kis baare mein?
Sameer: Shaadi? Aa...aap kya....
Ayush: Oye khoteya....baap hoon main tera...sab pata hain mujhe tum dono ke beech kya khichdi pak rahi hain. Jaldi bata....Shaanvi taiyaar hui shaadi ke liye?
Sameer: Vo toh na jaane kab se taiyaar hain....par uski Maa maane tab na?
Ayush: Tu ne bataya Malishka ko?
Sameer: Pagal ho gaye ho? Unko yeh toh bardaasht nahi hota hain ki main unki beti ke saath as a friend rehta hoon.....unki beti se shaadi karna hain yeh sunn ne ke baad toh direct heart attack hi aayega unhe. Aur fir unke uss damaad ko bhi toh samjhana parega na? Vo bhi thehra ariyal....
Ayush: Hmm....baat toh sahi hain. Aur mujhe na vo Advik sahi nahi lagta....matlab vo jaisa dikhta hain waisa hain nahi.
Sameer: Exactly! Par yeh baat aapki...I mean....Malishka aunty ko kaun samjhaye? Ayush: Kaise samjhaye? Kaise....haan...sunn....

Ayush told his plan in Sameer's ears and Sameer's smile turned into a big smirk soon.

Sameer(shaking hand): Wahh wahh! Kya idea hain.....maza aa gaya...wahh!
Ayush: Toh ise execute kare partner?
Sameer: Yes!!
