"You are my son and she is our daughter. This time on your birthday you have to bring her to meet us," uncle said to Abhi indirectly warning me that he won't listen to any more explanation.
"Ok, dad," he smiled.
"Avi, do one thing. Go and check everything and take whatever you want. Don't think about price or money. The whole mall is ours," Uncle said to me and Abhi smiled hearing it.
"Thank you uncle but I don't need anything," I replied.
"Abhi, accompany her and get her whatever she likes," he ordered Abhi.
"Sure dad," he answered back with a wink. The call ended and then he turned to the girls and questioned whether they were satisfied or not. They were looking at us in shock.
"Does she know your dad?" They questioned him and he replied,
"Of course. She is my one and only friend and that too from childhood so how can't she know them?"
"Oh, please forgive us Abhi, we are sorry. We didn't done it casually," they said, lowering their heads.
"What do you mean by that?" He questioned them.
"We got a call an hour back and we were asked to do this and insult her. So we did this," they answered, making us shocked.
"What? What are you saying?" I questioned them.
"Yes, we were assigned to do this and they offered us money. So we did this," they answered.
"How shall I believe your words? Who will do this?" He questioned them.
"Actually our mobiles have auto call recording option. You can hear it," they answered and then took their phones out and gave them to Abhi. He listened to the call and it was clearly shown that someone called them and Informed about my whereabouts and assigned them to do this work.
"Who is that? Who assigned you to do this?" He questioned them.
"We don't know. We didn't ask who that isy," they replied.
"What? Say the truth, "If I found that you know who that person is I won't spare you," he warned them but they still said the same thing that they didn't Know who called them.
"Your families are rich and as far as I know about your families..they won't restrict you in anything and will even give the money as much as you want. Still you both accepted this offer only because of money that too from a stranger. Have some shame on you. Do have some shame on you. Your families are respected families in this society. Do you ever think that if they get to know about all this what will happen to their prestige? Have you guys ever thought about how your parents will feel? Fine I will forgive you only if you girls do something," he kept a condition.
"What was that? We will do anything but please don't let us face this humiliation," they pleaded.
"It's nothing big. You just have to bring your parents to meet me. If you do that I will make sure that you are not banned from anywhere," he laid his condition in front of them. They were looking dumbfounded and I think they forgot how to talk.
Third Person POV:
About Grover's:
The Grover's are always a hidden and mysterious powerful family. We heard that they inherited the property from their elders and it was all started 3 generations before. When it came to the 2nd generation(Abhi dad) he started a company. Actually he is an army officer but due to some personal issues he has to come back to his family. Then he started a small company and with his disciples' hard work he got in the top position within three years. No one knows their original faces. They never attended parties and even if they came they used masks to cover themselves. They are kind and warm hearted. The employees working in their companies are the luckiest ones because they always treat them as their own family and they all signed an agreement there that they will never gossip nor share their photos or how they look to the outside world.
"You all have seen them somewhere or other places. But, you don't recognise them as Grover's because their dressing style and their behaviour never makes you treat them as Grover's. But, they will be roaming around the city like us. Just like a common people," this is what their employees say if someone asks them to say how they look or to show their photos..they never break the rule of their company because they know it will be safe for them to stay loyal and to be in their good books rather than being dishonest and entering into their bad books.
Yes, they are the most warm hearted people. They always help people and even give bonuses to their employees three times a year. They built a school for their employees' kids so they don't need to feel the burden of paying fees in this era. Don't think that the teacher's are normal ones..in their school all the teachers are highly educated and specially trained in teaching kids. They will never scold children but always make them more talented. The rule in their school is, "not to pressure kids but to find the real hidden talent in them." Their school students are first in everything. From sports to academics, from painting to arts. They even train their students in self defense so they will be able to protect themselves and by the end of every year they will find the best one from the whole school and facilitate them with a trophy and by the momento named as, "the best student of the year." It's every student's dream to get that so they all will show interest in learning everything but as we all know it's easy to dream but hard to achieve. It will only reach one student. The other rule is they won't pick the same student in two consecutive years. It will only come to them only once in their school age. They took everything into consideration from discipline to the way they dress, they comb, the way they speak, the way they treat their fellow classmates, their nature, attitude, their performance, interest and many more. Every aspect will be covered. So getting selected as the best student of the year is not an easy task. But, once they get it there is another rule they have to work and keep that habit to them for all the other years or else they won't be able to be called as best student of the previous year. It will be cancelled and awarded to someone else. So, basically the students who came out of their schools will be eligible to get scholarships easily. They won't pressure their parents for anything and will always be in top career positions.
