Chapter 2 - unedited

   In the morning, next day, white Mr.and Mrs. Singh along with their daughters were having breakfast, Custard, Mahek's Alsatian came barking and running towards them.

They didn't pay much heed to it. The Singhs, especially Mahek always believed that one should always concentrate on eating while eating... No one spoke in the dining table or did any kind of activities. Even when guests were invited over they'd always prefer to keep quite while at the dining table...otherwise the house, of actually the mansion would turn out to be a zoo. Everyone would be screaming, laughing, talking, basically there would be a wonderful mood around.

After sometime, Custard became really loud. Ranveer got severely disturbed and went out to the balcony to see what had exactly happened.  He saw a man standing outside the gate. He called in the guards. They came inside as fast as they could.

"Who is it?" Mahek asked.  "Some Karthik Singh, madam." one of the guards replied. There was a thunderous roar of laughter that followed after he said so. James Brown, the guard who was new to this job got a bit scared and looked at the other guard. He was completely clueless at what was going on.

" Mr. Brown, he is not some Karthik Singh. He is my daddy's dad." Kohinoor said, she just couldn't help it...It was too funny for her. Ranveer threw a deadly glance at her. " You mean your grandfather, Kohinoor?" he asked her. it mostly sounded like a command than a question.

"No I meant my daddy's dad, daddy." she said, her voice was stern indicating Ranveer that she didn't want to discuss about it anymore. He just shook his head and looked at the guards and asked them to let his father in.

In a very short while, Karthik walked inside stamping feet and grumbling..." These nasty people... they don't know how to treat me. They kept me waiting outside. Ranveer!!! "

"ye...yes dad?" Ranveer trailed off. I was a bit scared looking at his father's fowl mood. Kohinoor looked at her mother. Mahek gave a crooked smirk and they both smiled silently looking at Ranveer's attitude towards his father.

" Why didn't you tell those bloody guards that you have a father?" Karthik asked him. "Actually, dad, I did tell them... He is new though..." he pointed at James who was standing at the gate, smiling.

"Oh! you did? Is that why they are not letting me in? I don't care if they are new or whatever." Karthik cut him mid sentence and asked. "Mr. Singh, I think the guards are doing their job quite well. Not letting strangers in without permission."

"Oh Shut up, you girl. You don't speak when elders are speaking. Who gave you the right to speak?" he was very ruthless towards his grand daughter. Neither did he treat her like a grand daughter nor did she treat him like a grand father. They never got along.

"Well, this is my house. The floor you are standing on belongs to me. So, I have all rights to speak, scream, do whatever inside inside my house." she answered angrily. "What the hell is she talking about, Ranveer?" Karthik said with his eyes wide open.

"She is right..'' Mahek spoke when Karthik indicated his hand asking her to shut her mouth. "I asked Ranveer. Women in hour families don't answer back to father-in-laws."Karthik said. He wasn't looking at her. No eye contact at all.

"Why, daddy, talk to me. What problem do you have with women, huh?" Mahek answered back.SHe hated being insulted, especially by her in-laws. Karhik glared at her. She thought maybe now he would really scream at her but instead he asked Ranveer to stand for him.

Ranveeer looked up and said, " Mahek that's not how you speak to my dad." He was a bit too loud and Mahek couldn't bear this. "Ranveer, you do not shout at me okay. That's not allowed. You know that right? Not even if your dad is here or my dad is here."

Karthik started shaking his head. " Shut up! and tell me how does this house belong to Kohinoor?" Mahek cleared her throat and started, "This house and the lake house in California is in Kohinoor's name. The house in Mexico  and the beach house in Miami belongs to Kavya. The business will later on be divided into two."

"Into two, hmm." Karthik simply nodded. "So you have no plans of giving ma a grand son."

"Why do you need a grand son? You have two beautiful grand daughters. Both extraordinary, why a grandson?"Mahek said. " Because I need to give my property to him. He will be the heir to the empire my son has established." Karthik said.

"Your son didn't establish the empire all by himself. What do you know about it, huh? You were roaming around the world on your son's hard earned money while we were dying just to make ends meet. And talking about the heir, Kohinoor is the heir to this empire." Mahek was really on fire. She was very angry.

"She is a stranger. She will marry another man, bear another family name. So, why waste our money on her?"Karthik defended himself.

"just because she will marry, will not change the fact that she is my daughter. You what daddy, you are sick." She said.

The argument continued... into a heated one. Ranveer started raising his voice, Mahek started shouting, Karthik was simply out of control and little Kavya was just  looking at each one of their faces in extreme amusement. Kohinoor had already left as soon as she had finished her breakfast. She knew what was coming up.

.........................................................................................................................................................................................

This is what happened every time Karthik came to meet them. There would be a quarrel because Karthik was an old fashioned man with a very conservative mind. He still didn't accept that men and women are no different. He still loved discriminating. And that was exactly what everyone in the family hated about him.

Karthik Singh Thakuri lived in Nautara town in Nepal until his only son, Ranveer moved to the U.S.A for further studies. He was very proud amongst the villagers that he was able to send his son to the U.S.A but his pride came an abrupt stop when Ranveer gave him the news that he was getting married to an NRN, Mahek Thapa, the daughter of the most influential Europeans.

He was against the marriage because he wanted to get such a bride for his son whom he could keep under his feet. He knew Mahek was an outgoing, modern girl who would not fall into his web of slavery. After that he started roaming around the world in his son's earning. He still did not want to accept the new ways, he was always on his own old manners. He got another shock when they gave him the news of a grand daughter. Then yet another when they refused to abort another baby girl who was in Mahek's womb.

And today he was even offended when he came to know that they had already kept all the properties in the two girls' name and that they didn't want a son. He had to think of something. Something to get back those respect that he had always been expecting from women. So he that day he went to the guest room and spend the whole day plotting a plan.
