A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 4

*Prathap Pov*

"Wow! Is she the one going to be your fiancé?" Shrishti asked looking at me after the Vikranth returned to the cabin.

"It is just a fake scheme our Dad's devised which I am not going to follow." I replied not liking the fact that she is calling her my Fiance.

"I think you shouldn't. Did you see how rude she was to you and that too before Vikranth because of whom she got a chance as far as I remember from that day. I felt bad for her that day but I guess there was no need to." She mumbled shaking her head.

"Maybe she actually plotted all this." She added and I slowly nodded but after hearing her explanation I don't think I can think like that anymore.

"Stop talking about my friend like that." We suddenly heard a harsh tone and turned to look at Vikranth's wife who was sitting in silence until now that we even forgot her presence and wouldn't have remembered if not for the words she just uttered.

"What is her fault? She just helped me with the situation and none of us expected it to be like this." She added standing up before walking towards us.

"She is earning everything for herself and need not plot anything as I am sure your friend wouldn't have chosen her if not for her capability." She pointed out and I stared at her in shock.

I have never seen her talking like this and leave this but I never heard her talking even normally and always stayed silent in our presence. But now she is like... I am definitely looking at her in a new light.

"Vikranth! Why is she shouting at us?" Shrishti asked glancing at Vikranth who is also staring at his wife.

"I am not saying all this for my sake but for my friend. I am not wrong in defending her." His wife stated turning to look at him.

"You are right! I need to have a meeting with them. You drove me here in your vehicle, right? Go back home and I will return with my car I left at the bar." Vikranth said and she slowly nodded resembling the person I knew during this whole year before leaving the room.

"Wow! I can't believe this." Shrishti mumbled while I am still a loss for words.

"I need both of you to just stop talking for some time." He shouted this time before walking to his table and sat down.

"I woke up with this huge hangover but couldn't even cure it before rushing to this place and had to listen to their lecture for that long. On top of that, I need to listen to both of you talking nothing but nonsense." He continued while taking out the tablet strip placed on the table before passing it to me.

"Thank you!" I mumbled taking it as even I had to ignore my hangover from the moment I woke up and my head is ready to burst.

"But we don't know that model. Why are you taking her side? Just because she is your wife's friend?" Shrishti asked frowning and I sighed at her jealousy tone.

He is like married for a year and you just canceled your engagement. Stop showing your jealousy already. I want to shout at her but of course, kept quiet.

"I don't care whether it's a scheme or not but I am not going to follow this and that's final." I stated and he glared at both of us.

"You both are not kids but why are you acting so childish than those two who are younger than you. I need both of you to stay silent and that's a warning." He stated in a cold tone and we both immediately looked down like we used to do from the time we were kids.
