HIS CHOSEN BRIDE [18+]

20. The Rivalry

AUTHOR'S POV

"What a divine beauty she is, I would bring down the heaven and hells together just to to have a glimpse of her. How lucky is that bastard Agastya Raichand to wife her up. Fucking hell, it should've been me beside her and not him." Karanveer talked to him while looking at the photos of Agastya and Yuvika's wedding.
"How did they meet btw Ameer?" he asked his bodyguard who was behind him.
"Boss, yuvika was getting married to some guy name Kartik Ahuja, but somehow that man ran away and Agastya decided to marry her" his bodyguard stated firmly. Just as he heard their marriage story Karanveer threw a bottle of wine which was beside him, "Fucking bastard, this agastya always came first, first in academics, first in race, first in line and now first in getting married to this beauty." his voice was rough, and sounded jealous.
"Boss, but why are you obsessed with that girl? She's already married and that too with your rival Agastya Raichand , you can have so many other girls then why her?"his bodyguard Ameer asked seeing his rage
"It's not today that I am obsessed with her Ameer, anything that Agastya owned had always been mine and this time its PERSONAL." he answered smirkingly while smoking his cigarette.
"Boss, what if Agastya gets to know about it? What if he cancels the deal? What if he knows the plan?" Ameer had thousands questions but stopped when Karanveer stopped him.
"He will, he has too. His company, no infact his dad's company is almost going bankrupt. For the sake of his dad he will bow down to me, and give me everything I want including his fucking wife. Ameer prepare for the meeting, I shall meet him in the popular casino that I own." with that he straightened his coat and got up to leave.
"Sure boss, today evening it is then."
They all left for the meeting in the casino. It was a very popular casino in Udaipur. Even Agastya's dad had a share in it.
Agastya too prepared to leave along with his assistant and bodyguards.
Agastya is also involved with underground work that includes handling casinos, bars and few mafia works.

At the Casino
"Welcome Mr Raichand" Karanveer extented his hand towards agastya, both handshakes and sat down across each other. Karanveer kept a straight face with no emotions being showed whereas agastya had a pleasant smile on his face.
Despite the cold weather, the environment inside the casino was hot.
"Mr Singhania I'm glad you came all the way from Russia for this meeting. I guess you know why we are here today?"
"Of course, agastya and you don't need to be formal, we are friends remember." Karanveer had a smirk when he said that, he knows how much agastya hated calling him a friend since their past isn't that well.
"Let's keep it professional Karanveer, I don't need any relations to be placed here. Infact it's been ages since we met." Agastya replied calmly because he knew how twisted Karanveer's mind was.
Ameer presented the papers to agastya for signing.
The meeting went calm and collected as expected. Now just as Agastya was about to leave Karanveer stopped him.
"Agastya I want to talk to you, privately" he signalled all the men to leave and now only Karanveer and Agastya were in the room.
"What is it karan, why'd u ask me to stay here, what do u have in your mind?" agastya knew what kind of plan he had in his mind
Karanveer laughed and walked towards the little bar beside the room and grabbed two glasses of champagne.
"Agastya, we know each other since childhood, why are you acting like I'm someone new to you. You know everything about me"
"That's the reason I'm worried, you aren't a straight man, your mind is filled with different thoughts and plans. What's this time now ha??"
"I heard you got married right?" karanveer asked him straightaway.
Agastya clenched his jaw "So?? That's none of your bussiness karan, stick to bussiness and not Personal life"
Karanveer smirked and got up from the sofa and began to walk around the room with champagne in his hand.
Yuvika Mathur, age 21, height 5'4, the youngest daughter, has two elder sisters, Dad, mom, and grandmother, is studying pharmacy.
"Is it right or should I say more? Regarding her friends-"
Karanveer was cut off by agastya grabbing his shirt
"You bastard, motherfucker, what's up with collecting my wife's data huh???" agastya shouted at him but Karanveer seemed calm, he slowly held Agastya's hand and dropped it off his collar. "Calm down, isn't it just general, I wanted to know about my best friend's wife. That's it no personal reasons." agastya didn't accept the explanation and clenched his jaw harder.
"Listen to me carefully karan, yuvika is my Wife, my property, not to be discussed, seen, heard or even thought about. Remember that well, next time If I hear her name from your filthy mouth, I swear I will tear your jaw." with that agastya left the casino and got in his car.

Whereas Karanveer seemed calm about the whole situation.
"Ha, Agastya still so possessive about his possessions. But I'm afraid, this won't stay any longer. I will fucking take your bussiness house,, and that beautiful wife of yours. She seems to be looking good at my side and not yours." he smirked and left the casino as well.

AGASTYA'S POV
How the fuck can he speak about yuvika, he must've stalked her. Fuck, Fuck, fuck.. I fucking hate it.
This bastard, he has always taken everthing from me. Ever since childhood he's been behind me and now he, he wants my wife, my yuvika.
No, never, not happening. I will not even let him see yuvika, forget about having her.
She's mine, only mine.

As soon as I reached home, I went to yuvika.

"Yuvika, biwi??? Where are you??? Yuvika???"
"I'm here, in the kitchen." hearing her voice made me feel calm, I ran towards the kitchen and hugged her tightly.
"Arey, kya hua? Eysa why are you hugging me? Is everything alright? Agastya ji??" her voice sounded worried but I couldn't reply.
"Agastyaji kya hua, kahiye na? How was the meeting with that man? Was it successful?? Tell me?"
"It was good babe, but but he.. He, I don't trust him. His intentions don't seem well biwi."
"Intentions? On what??" it was so hard to tell her that but I had to since I promised to never hide anything from her. I cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"Yuvika, he, he has his eyes on you, he has collected information about you and I don't why he didn't sound good. Promise me Yuvika, you will never leave me, please promise me." I had tears in my eyes, the thought of her leaving or losing her is enough for me to break down.
"Agastyaji, not only in this life, in the coming seven lives I have vowed to be yours and only yours. Even if we be separated I promise to never go anywhere. I rather die than leave you" I covered her mouth when she said about death, "no biwi, not even death can apart us. I promise to love you even if I'm buried 6ft under the ground. My soul will always hunt yours."
She cupped my cheeks and kissed my nose, that's her way of showing love and affection for me. "Now, don't worry and be happy, because I made your favourite food, go wash your hands and let's eat. Ok" I nodded and left for the bathroom to clean myself.. My thoughts still filled with karan and his words. But Yuvika's encouragement made me smile. She's the best gift and Ofcourse anyone would die for a woman like her. Shes my possession, my Obsession.
