Marriages out of Convenience?

Delhi corporate parties are always the one to make headlines, and our latest edition of SATURDAY MASALA is incomplete without the latest G&R party!!

The grandeur, splendidness and magnificence of the Gupta parties are not a new thing. But the party held by KKG, this Friday evening, caught the attention due to a new controversy.

Khushi Kumari Gupta has announced the wedding dates of both the Gupta sisters, which will take place the coming week at the same time, same place. Many famous business personalities and celebrities have attended the party. But it soon turned into a gossip hub, embarrassing the hosts.

There were speculations about some agreement between Arnav Singh Raizada and Shashi Gupta. Popular belief is that Shashi Gupta had induced ASR, to marry his elder daughter in lieu of the post of Chairmanship, which Arnav Singh Raizada seems to have accepted, cheating the younger Gupta sister.

Let us inform our readers, about the love story between Lavanya Gupta and ASR, which had seen almost half the decade. But seems the long distance relationship didn't work for them.

While some were also doubting intention of ASR, who might have duped the younger sister, to marry KKG - a more successful woman, the current CEO of G&R.

After death of Shashi Gupta last week, ASR has taken over the company as the Chairman and also became the owner of 20% of shares overnight. "It was a precursor! ASR sold his love for the fame." A reporter gave us input.

Is the handsome hunk a heartless playboy running behind the money?

Well we don't have the answer but what we can do is to wish a blissful marriage to both the Gupta Sisters, hoping that all these rumors are false!

Arnav's Cabin

"Ok Nani! I'll call you later." Arnav cut the call.

Since the last night party, his peace had gone to hell. When Khushi so easily announced the wedding dates,  amid all the eminent persona of business world, he was pleasantly surprised.

But later he understood her game. She had knowingly leaked the Lavanya-matter to some media-persons. It was a trick to pressurise him to break the marriage.

'ASR is not that weak to succumb to all this actions of maligning him.' He thought.

But it had created problems.

His Nani and Di were also worried.

"Chhote, we trust you but don't do anything that will disgrace Shashiji and Raizada name." His Nani had called some times ago.

He took the car keys, being in no mood to work. He came to the basement of G&R only to find Khushi there, talking to someone on phone.

'Rakshasi!!' Arnav had to confront her.

He snatched the phone from her hands, throwing it on her car seat, making her yelp, "What the!"

She was about to get back her phone when Arnav started, "Have you become so insensitive, that you didn't hesitate to demean your own father?"

Khushi was irritated being disturbed. It was an important call. But she didn't open her mouth...while Arnav continued...

"Gupta Uncle had given you so much love and care, and you are paying back to him in this way?"

"Oh please Raizada! Don't start your Star Plus drama, that Lavanya watches everyday!"

Arnav got more enraged hearing it,  pushing her to the car door and holding her hands tightly, against the metal doors, their bodies crushing each other. "I am not joking, Gupta! Stop your childish attitude or..."

Khushi smirked, trying to loosen her hands, "Tsk tsk Raizada! You don't know, how glad I am, seeing you so helpless." Her face had a devilish aura.

Khushi's words made him push himself more into her, touching his hard chest with her soft one. "I am not helpless Gupta! It's you, who don't have any option left. Did you forget my challenge?"

Khushi couldn't forget the lines which have made her nights sleepless, his challenge of marrying her within two weeks.

Arnav came close to her left ear to whisper. "Enough of your plots! Now it's my turn!" He went away, leaving behind a tickling sensation where his lips had accidentally touched.

But she didn't let it, show on her face.

Aman's cabin GR

Aman was eating the lunch prepared by his mother lovingly. But his mind was somewhere else.

"Did you know, ASR was interested in Lavanya Gupta!"

"Then why he is marrying KKG?"

"Money is mightier than love! KKG is beauty with brains, always preferable."

"But I find pity of Aman. ASR made him a sacrifice goat in order to get rid of Lavanya."

Aman had seen Lavanya's affection towards Arnav, and he hadn't taken it as something serious. He was sure that Arnav is not involved at all.

But last night when he heard those words from others, he was confused.
'Was Lavanya forced to agree?'

He was playing with his food, when he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in!"

Khushi opened the door, shocking Aman, who had seen her first time in his cabin. "KKG, why do you bother? Should have called me!"

"Don't be so formal Aman!" Khushi knew, that her stunt last night had affected Lavanya and Aman the most. So she should take its advantage.

"Actually I was so disturbed after what happened last night. Everyone in the party were talking...." She sat on the opposite chair, now continuing her words....

"Aman, I know that you are doing this marriage because Papa wished so. But you are not in any compulsion."

"No, it's not....!" Aman tried to intervene but Khushi cut him.

"I know Aman, how difficult it is to marry someone who loves someone else. In my case, I don't have any option but to marry Arnav!" She was behaving like an abla nari. "But you have!"

"KKG, if you are thinking, that I can deny the marriage then I am sorry I can't do this." Khushi frowned while Aman continued, "It is my Amma's wish, to have Lavanya as her daughter-in-law."

Khushi sighed thinking of ways to change his mind.

"Aman but you will never be happy!" Her voice was a notch higher. "I am her sister. I know she will never be able to love anyone else, not even you!"

"Then let it be, KKG! I can't deny my mother's wish." He said in final tone.

Khushi was frustrated, but having no other option, she came out.

In Lav's bedroom

Lavanya hugged the old photo of her parents, crying bitterly. The world had made a joke of her life and her feelings towards Arnavji.

She had no one to talk to. After two days,  wedding ceremonies would start and she was unaware, what was more stored for her.

Gupta Sadan

Next morning Lavanya was busy with her morning pooja, while Khushi was having her breakfast, it being a Sunday.

Khushi's every plan was failing. In all this, she had herself digged her own grave, by announcing marriage dates. She had only few days left to win the game.

'I can't marry that Raizada!'

Aman and Lavanya were also not helping.

That's when the door bell rang and HP opened the door.

"Who is it HP?" Khushi asked, wiping her lips with tissue paper.

"It's me darling !" Arnav said playfully, entering the hall.

He was casually dressed in jeans and a tight T-shirt, accentuating his well built body, accompanied by a blazer and slip-on-shoes.

Khushi crumpled the tissue in her hand, furious on the endearment used by Arnav.

Getting no reply from her, Arnav continued, "Get ready, we are going to Mandir!"

Khushi has heard Arnav, but before she could retort him back sharply, Lavanya caught her attention who was seemingly disturbed with the exchange between Arnav and Khushi and left the hall.

It didn't take Khushi much time to realise, that her sister was disturbed by them.

'So making Lavanya jealous may work.'

The Rakshasi had the new plan ready!!

Note: No guarantee of its success 😜
