AgneeSakshi: Bound by the Holy Fire

Chapter 4: The Awkward Meeting

I was in Ansh Bhai's Rolls Royce listening to his bad choice of songs as the car moved to our destination... Some conference of his.

That was until the car came to a sudden stop. And Bhai was driving himself so he got down and checked.
I got down too.

"Bhai, what happened to your Madhubala?" Yes he has named his car Madhubala. Weird he is.

"Madhubala has got your habit of throwing tantrums here and there..." He replied rudely. I wanted to flip out but I didn't... No scene on road.

I knew how much he loved his car and this one is his Madhubala. Insert an eyeroll.

"Let me fix this... You wait somewhere." He said opening the hood of the car.

"No, I will be with you. Maybe you need help." I countered.

"Please no... Ms. Victoria please go and sit in my hotel. Don't tire yourself out princess or Bhaia will kill me. You are his precious sister." He said curtly and I realized that we were in front of his hotel.

What a coincidence!

"Are you sure?" I confirmed.

"Of course. Now just go and leave me and Madhubala alone." It was like he was practically forcing me to go to the hotel.... But that is Chitransh for you ladies and gentlemen!!!

I went inside the hotel and to my surprise it was empty. It was weird considering it was Saturday. Moving to the garden, I saw someone sitting reading a book. I had a feeling that it was Agneesh and it was confirmed when he looked up at me with the brown eyes of his.

He stood up acknowledging me. This can't be a coincidence. Ansh Bhai's car breaking down just in front of the hotel, him forcing me to go to the hotel, the hotel being deserted and Agneesh sitting here.

He held out a chair for me and took his place as I sat.

"How come you are here?" I started breaking the silence.

"Didn't Ansh tell you? I wanted to meet you and all..." His face radiated confusion.

Ok this is a well thought plan. Ansh Bhai I am going to kill you!!

Till then Agneesh had ordered coffee for us.

"Actually I had to talk to you about some stuff that we were able to talk about that day. I didn't want to talk on phone so I had to ask Ansh about it." Agneesh spoke this time.

Ok, so he is going to take an interview!

"Please don't consider it as an interview. I mean... You also have some expectations with your husband and I too need to know more about you so I can give my decision to ma." He said, his voice loaded with sincerity, as if reading my emotions.

This impressed me.

"So what are your expectations from your wife?" I asked trying to be casual.

"That she obeys me and make breakfast for me every morning. Do as I say. When I come back from office then she must give me a foot massage." He said looking at me and a frown came at my face, but his next words made me smile.

"I don't have any expectations like this, I just want that she is my good friend before becoming my good wife. And she should always, without exceptions, respect my parents.... If she has some problem I will surely solve it but without hurting my parent's feelings."

Seeing me smile, he continued, "So what are your expectations with your husband?"

"I want him to treat me as an equal. Support me in my decisions and understands me." I told the truth.
