CHAPTER-43

YASH
~~~~

Ketu said me .. She can't accompany me to the summer party.. Because her bald professor dumped in her head ... to do a project.. And to complete it my tomorrow.. No excuse.. If she wants marks.. As she got less attendance.. She said that he said the only way to cope is using this project as an excuse to ask an on duty leave and get minimum attendance percentage... For this semester... As she taken many leaves.. For our marriage, bhanu's , Preeti's ... Yad's engagement...
So.. I said no probes.. And to carry on..

Jai-" so.. You are dateless again?"
Me-" shut up.."
Yad-" sorry man.. I can't give you company.. I have a date.." Yes usually deepu and jai join hands .. So me and yad go together.. Sesh and papa come together.. Varsha will say bye to us.. She don't like coming for this.. But this time ... she is coming for yad... As they got engaged...

We went to the party..

And I actually don't like to be here.. It's boring... I am sitting alone.... Yad and jai took varsha and deepu to dance floor.. And sesh went to dance floor.. He asked me to join.. As usual I declined... I only danced at my sangeet function.. Because I don't want to disappoint anyone.. Sesh, papa, jai, deepu.. Everyone were laughing.. Even with fight going on yad send me a wish to have a happy life.. I don't want anyone to get sad.. So.. I danced.. And then during watching the movie with ketu.. Because she dragged me.. To do.. She herself made me to move my hands.. And follow her steps.. It was fun and not to make her sad.. As she has said yes to marry me.. Just because for my family's sake... After my moms death... I miss you mom..

And I was sitting and watching my friends dancing.. They came and dragged me.. But I said no.. And to leave me.. And I am comfortable.. And no problem.. Sesh comes and gives me company every few minutes.. And then hits the dance floor... Actually in this party.. Every young ones will be in dance floor or in the bar.. And for adults they sit in a group and chat and drink and eat there itself.. Sometimes they too hit the dance floor.... Children's have a different place were nanny will take care of them...

So I am sitting alone in our table and having Pepsi.. Some girl came towards our table.. I have seen her somewhere.. But where???

She-" hello yash!"
Me-"hello"
She-" don't you remember me?" So.. I have met her.. But where?
Me-"should I ?"
She-" yes.. You don't want to.. But , I want you to forgive me..." I need to be carefull with this girl.. Parties will always have problem..
Me-"why should I do that?"
She-"I know.. You don't want to.. I understand that.. But I want to say sorry.. I am really sorry for running away before the engagement day.." Yes.. Got it.. Chandini..

Me-"why did you do that?"

Chandini-" I am sorry yash.. I don't want to get married now.. I said my parents.. But they didn't understood.. They said me.. I got a proposal to marry you.. And you are a loaded, handsome, from good family,etc.... And said me to accept it.."sorry???...

Me-" I heard you ran away with someone... If you have said me before.. I would have cancelled the marriage.. Why to disappoint everyone of us.. And make you parents ashamed before us?"

Chandini-" that was just a cover up.. That they will cancel the marriage... But I didn't loved anyone.. I said okay to marry you.. Because of their happiness .. Thought we would get to know each other .. And I will like you.. But I don't had a chance to meet you.. I am not saying fault on you..
When you are free.. I am busy and when I was free .. You were busy.. "
Cover up??...

Me-" so.. You run away?"because I am busy when you are free...

Chandini-" one of the reason... sorry to do this.. So, I had a private investigator to know about you.. Found out Our tastes are different.. Example..I love to dance but see you don't dance at all.. You were work oriented person.. No fun.. But I love to have fun.. You are not a friendly person.. But I am a friendly person.. " I started to laugh... She hired a private investigator.. how come she.. think of that...

Me-" ok.. Is that all .. Busy .. Taste.. That's all?"
She nodded..

Chandini-"so I thought.. I need to call off our marriage to help each other...What can I do within two days of time.. It's best to runaway .... Than tying a bond and separating it?..
But.. I know doing this without informing you is unforgivable.. but I am really sorry.. if you can please forgive me.."She asked with all serious genuineness..

Me-" to be frank ... No problem.. I didn't really liked you to marry you.. Or anyone at that time...... I too said yes... Because of peer pressure.." I said her things that are true...

Chandini -" thanks.. For forgiving me.. From now I can sleep well."said happily..
This is the first time she visibly relaxed...

Me-" so.. Your parents forgive you?"

Chandini -" yes.. And understood me.."

Me-" well..and good".and I was about to cut her off...

Chandini-" I think my private investigator is a stupid.. If I known speaking with you is this simple.. I think I wouldn't had to runaway.."she said with fun..

Me-" is this a compliment ?" She nodded.." But you don't have a chance now.. I am married"

Chandini-" my bad... Anyway congratulation on your marriage.. "Said all happily without any jealous... or anger..

Me-" thanks.."
Chandini-"who is that lucky?.. Why can't we all know anything about her?"
Should I say her...

Me-"she still fears to come before media.. And also she is studying"

Chandini-" wow.. Is it underage marriage mister?"
What??

Me-" no.. She is twenty years old... She is a student doctor... "

Chandini-" what is she?.. Is she too work oriented girl?" What ketu work oriented ???

Me-" total opposite.. She is too friendly .. She is funny.. She makes everyone happy...No one can be sad before her.. With a big list of brothers and sisters.."

Chandini-" so.. A girl like me except no list of brothers and sisters.."
She can't compare ketu with her.. ketu is so different and good girl...

Me-" sorry.. But little different.... Whoever the other person be.. She makes them crazy like her too.. " looked confused...

Chandini-" hmm.. Little explanation .. Please.."

Me-" like you said.. I am a laid back person.. If she is here.. She would have dragged me to dance floor and made me dance.. She is someone who makes happiness.. While you select to go back towards happiness.. Sorry.. You needed explanation.. I said with the words I know.... Sorry.. If it offended you..."

Chandini-" no.. It is some way true... Can you say how you both got engaged.. Were you loving her before?" Oh.. god.. she asks many questions...

Me-" are we curious..?"
Chandini-" no.. Just that did I made a huge drama or small drama..?"good thing ..... she ran way...

Me-" she was my dad's best friend daughter.. Who was the first choice of my parents.. But since she is studying .. Her father don't want to marry her soon to me along with cast problem, state problem, status problem... But seeing my father broken he accepted.. " I said her ... too know .. she don't want to feel pity for us.. Like we were devasted... not more than three hours... That not me..

Chandini-" so.. I am just a passing cloud.. Only medium drama...?"yes... so, please leave..

Me-" maybe.."

Chandini-" so.. You know her before.. " oh.. god help.. make this as a last question..

Me-" no.. I just saw her on the engagement day.. And spoked with her before twelve hours"

Chandini-"I really missed my chance.. Anyway.. You are lucky to have her as you wife.." Yes.. She is not a bad girl.. but irritates with asking non stop questioning ... Thank god.. I didn't get tied with her...

Me-" of course.. Thank you.. Hey.. Small advice.. Don't runway next time.. Sit and speak with the groom to know what he is really inside.. Not always guys act like the way they portrait.." Hope it helps you...

Chandini-" thanks.. Understood.. But I am not regretting running away.. It was the best decision I took .. My parents now understands me.. But also that's not the only reason ... More important one is your cousin came and threatened at me.. And tried to hurt me once.. Which I didn't said anyone but thought you need to know... That's the reason I came along with to ask forgiveness.." What?? those idiots... And saw god heard my prayer... but I want to know what happened...

Me-" thanks.. It would be best .. You leave .. " she looked offended .. But before...I can explain sesh came..
Sesh-"how dare you can come.. In front of us.. Leave us.. Good thing you are not my brothers wife.. And ketu is my bhabi.. She is not like you.... She is a gem ... You won't get a chance.. Go away.. Don't disturb them... Or I will crash you" wow..
I never seen sesh speak with this much hate and bossiness to someone... wow..

Chandini-"I am sorry sesh.. Hope you can forgive me.. I don't have plans to disturb them.. And yash.. Thanks for forgiving me.. Even after I betrayed you.. I think.. I need to leave.." Think she got my point.. Betrayal.. I don't feel anything.. As I never trusted you..

Sesh-" what the hell?" I explained him the ten minutes conversation...

Yash-" now...you got it.. That I didn't liked her.. So, I didn't feel betrayed.. So, I gave her the forgiveness she needed and she said our cousins threatened her to elope.."
Sesh-" oh .??"and still in shock..

Then my friends came back.. We planned to go back home... The part that I hate the most.. Interview with the reporters about the party and about us..

Yad and varsha went up first..
The reporters asked about the bussiness and yad answered and about their love and their marriage.. And they said.. Only thier marriage date.. And they were loving each other from their school times.. Nothing else.. I didn't give permission to them to say ketu's bhang effect was the reason.. Don't want the media to think she is a alcoholic.. Do we want that now?? No....

Jai and deepu went next..
They asked about the business.. And about deepu's pregnancy.. And they announced publicly.. And asked how is it feeling to think yad to be their brother in law.. Jai asked it was odd in starting.. But now it doesn't matter...

Next sesh, papa, and me went up...
They asked something about the business venture.. Papa answered all.. I am not even in the mood to attend this party.. And they asked sesh.. How is it to know your best friend Mary's your brothers bestfriend... He said its cool... And some more questions..I zoomed out...

Reporter-" yash.. Why are you dateless?" Suddenly someone asked me..
Me-" because.. My wife wouldn't attend the party"

Reporter-" is she ill?" Another one popped up..
Me-" no"

Reporter-"we heard that you both are not together?" What?? If she don't show up for a party.. And not ill.. We are not together.... Clam.. answer calmly..
Me-" we are together.. It must be a false news.."

Reporter-" we even heard that she was a substitute bride.."in a way.. but.. how do they know...the peoples that knows are only peoples we trust.. and they all promised to not say out...

Me-" no.. She is not a substitute.. She is my real bride.."I answered....

Reporter-" we heard that chandini, daughter of emperor groups chairman.. Was your bride?" I looked side ways at papa and sesh.. they were also at confusion.. how do these people know....

Me-"maybe .. My father could have seen her also for me... While searching for the bride.. But as I was known ... only ketu was picked for me.. And that's the girl I have been introduced to be my bride.. By my family" I answered as polietly as I can.. Just a second I gave... Before anything can pop up..
Me-" thank you guys"
And we got down and no one spoked anything.. We came to my home... it's best not to speak anything outside...

Papa-" how do you think they know?"
Me-" no idea.. even ketu friends made promise that they will seal the information and not opening to a soul..."
Sesh-" I doubt chandini... it was odd to come and talk with you today..." Asked me...
Me-" yes... " she didn't asked me sorry before... She had plenty of time before... But why now?.. Then again she didn't showed any sign of nervousness.. And asked for forgiveness genuinely...
Deepu-" ofcourse... she is the culprit.. see this.. " and shoved me her mobile... What?..
