MANAN- I am here

2. Fooled

   I am currently wearing the dark blue gown with diamond necklace and studs to complement it. Today is my god damn engagement. When I reached India, I got the biggest shock of life.

  FLASHBACK

    I am running towards my father's ward where he is admitted, but it was not my father. When I asked his relatives ,they said that the patient's name is Vishnu Prasad, but my dad's name is Vishnu. Murthy. So I called Rishi, but to my surprise her cell was switched off.

   I immediately headed towards my house,' Murthy  House'. There was lot of surprises. Once I entered, I was welcomed as if they knew I was coming. Then I met my so called, to be fiancé who happens to be Kartik. Malhotra. Today itself they decided to have my engagement with that donkey face. They didn't even ask whether I like him or not. Hell!!, when I entered, I was not even allowed to freshen up, forget about talking to the donkey face.

   When I tried to talk about dad's health, I came to know he is perfectly fine. He even went to jog today. I saw Rishi hiding and confronted her about this. But to my surprise, the whole family fooled me. They created this idea and Rishi supported it.

FLASHBACK   END

  I haven't talked to anybody because

1. I am angry on everybody.

2. They don't bother, whether I talk or not. They are habituated to it.

3. They are very busy in preparing the hall.

   I can't believe they fooled me.

  Soon the engagement ceremony began and I didn't even glance at donkey face. I left from there after putting that ring inside his finger. I wish I could put it in his eyeballs place and remove his eyeballs.

   I was about to enter a room in hall, when I heard a " Are you not interested in party?" a male specimen who is like Greek god. He has jet black hair, brown orbs, perfect jaw looks dashing in his Armani suit. You idiot snap out and answer him. This is my subconscious which keeps me sane. " It's none of your business " I snapped at him.

  " You are the soon to be bride? Right?" he asked " Yes" I replied curtly and headed towards the room. I felt a grip on my fore arm. When I turned, the person in front of me is staring like statue. I think I will burn from his gaze, if he will not take his eyes of me. "What the hell do you want mister?" I asked annoyed of his behaviour. " you" he said " What?" I was surprised by his answer. Did he run away from a an asylum? "No, I..I.. I mean, don't you know me who I am?" He asked and I was cent percent sure that he is completely insane.

   "Should I know?" if yes then I am damn sure he has appeared in TV as a run away patient from asylum. The look he gave me was clearly telling me that he did not expect this reply. "I am Manik. Malhotra, the business tycoon for whom girls can go any level to get a glimpse. You should have done a very good deed in your previous life that you are standing here, in front of me and I am talking to you" I knew he is a man with double size ego of his body. "I don't know about deeds of my previous life, but by hearing you, my head is aching" I replied with a tired tone.

    What an egoistic man is doing in my engagement? "Why are you here?" I asked him. " I am your fiancé's cousin." he replied in bored tone. "Okay, enjoy the party." I said and entered the room, not waiting for his questions or egoistic talk.

   As soon as I entered I came to my another boyfriend, bed. My one of the hobby itself is sleeping. I slept on the bed, but sleep was far away from me.

   Today I came to know my new family after my transfer. Okay, it was not my transfer, but ... let it be. The women my father married is elder sister of his collage friend. My stepmother's name is Savitri. Her  husband died in an accident. She has a son who is older and a daughter of my age. Her daughter saw me with jealousy, what was her name? yeah, her name is Sakshi. But I find something fishy between Sakshi and Kartik.

   I think, they know each other from a long time, because Sakshi knows every likes and dislikes of Kartik. When Kartik was putting the ring to my finger his whole attention was on someone behind me. But now I think about it, I think the person behind me was Sakshi. Whether they love each other? I need to find out it fast. The marriage is after two weeks. I know it's too soon. I need to find out what's going on between Kartik and Sakshi.
