A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 40

'Papa! Yeh..aap ke paas?'

Rohit came near him and stopped as Naren glared at him.

'Veena! Agar yeh itna bara nahin hota to aaj pitt jaata mujh se..'

'Papa! Meri baat to..'

'Veena, is se bol do mujhe baat nahin karni abhi..'

'Aap baar baar Mom se kyun baat kar rahe hain? Mujh se karen na!'

Veena looked up at him.

The doorbell rang.

Rohit, a bit worried, went to open the door.

He was stunned.

'Ma! Uncle! SONA!!'

Sonakshi looked at him, her eyes questioning.

Before he could tell her anything, Veena got up.

'Aiye bhaisahab, Suman ji.'

They all entered the hall and Sonakshi's parents came to sit with his.

Sonakshi kept standing. She again gestured to Rohit.

He came to stand near her.
But before he could say a word, Naren spoke to Anil.

'Yeh dekh len aap bhi!'

And he handed over some papers to her father.

Sonakshi looked a bit puzzled, but then her gaze focused.

Oh God! The contract papers!

Her heart lodged in her throat.

She looked at Rohit. He looked a bit nervous too.

Anil looked at Sonakshi and Rohit.

'Kya hai yeh sab? Jab mujhe Naren ka phone aaya ke yeh baat karni hai, mujhe to yaqeen nahin aaya tha..Sonakshi? Rohit? Koi jawab hai tum logon ke paas?'

Sonakshi and Rohit both looked down.

Then Rohit came forward.

'Mein batata hun..'

'Lekin yeh sab to meri apni beti ka kiya dhara hai. I can't believe this!'

He put a hand on his forehead.

'Papa, I..' Sonakshi came forward.

'Uncle, woh Sonakshi ki koi ghalti nahin hai..woh maine hi us ko bola tha..'

Sonakshi looked at him in surprise.

'Rohit! Aisa kyun bol rahe ho..tum jaante ho ke..'

'Sona, mein baat kar raha hun na..'

The elders looked from one to the other.

'Stop!' Naren said.

Rohit came to stand next to Sonakshi.

'Please! Papa! Meri baat sun len..Rohit ki sach mein koi ghalti nahin hai. Maine hi usse hire kiya tha job ke liye..' Sonakshi spoke quickly.

'WHAT?!?'

All four of them were astounded.

Rohit put a hand on his forehead.

Yeh kya bata diya Sona..

'Hire?'

'Job?'

'Kya hai yeh sab?'

Questions came flying.

Rohit took Sonakshi's hand in his, squeezing it in support.

'Woh..Ma! Aap or Papa sab chahte thay ke mein shadi karlun, or mujhe karni nahin thi..to..to maine Rohit se ek saal ki contract marriage kar li!'
