10. LET'S GET MARRIED
952 Words
"Hello Mr. Vihaan, Hello and welcome everyone. Hope you enjoy this party and the celebration of us two groups of companies merging together." Mr. Ketan shakes Vihaan's hand and welcomes them all to his party.
Mr. Ketan is a handsome guy too. With a grey beard, the guy must be in his early fifties. He is wearing a coat and a vest which is brown in colour with a silk material. A soft tie lands in the middle of the vest. His hair is sleek. This guy also has a moustache. He is wearing boots from Saint Laurent. He introduces his wife and son too.
"Yes. Hopefully we will. Thank you for hosting it." Says Vihaan.
"Don't you mention Mr. Vihaan, the pleasure is all ours. Please enjoy. The bar is on your left and I hope that you'll get engaged in the dancing too." Informs, Mr. Ketan.
"Sorry, but I don't dance." Informs, Vihaan.
"No problem Mr……" Meet interrupts.
"Ketan, Ketan Singh." Says, Mr. ketan
The party is lavish. Huge chandelier is hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the hall and the lights are all blue and red. A scent and mist of beautiful and fragrant lilies is spread everywhere. Supposedly, it's the smell of a mixture of perfumes from all the guests tonight.
"Yeah, no problem Mr. Ketan singh, we three brothers are there to make this party special and dance. Because, we know how to dance." Says Reyhaan, putting his hand on Meet's shoulder.
"Umm.. okay." Mr. Ketan gets perplexed for a while.
"Meet my brother Mr. Ketan, Meet Sinha. He is Aakash and he is Reyhaan, the youngest of us all. And of course, you know him, my father Mr. Mukesh Sinha and my mother, Devanshi." Vihaan introduces them all.
"And the beautiful lady besides you?" Asks Mr. Ketan, looking at Payal.
"She is my business partner and my girlfriend, Payal, Payal Mehra." Informs Vihaan.
"Nice to meet you young lady. Nice to meet you all. Please enjoy." Mr. Ketan shakes his hand with Payal.
"Sure." Says Payal.
Mukesh heads to the other people to talk, maybe they are some other companies' CEO or directors or chairpersons and Devanshi goes into the direction of the food counter to have some of the delicious delicacies present there. All sorts of food have been kept, Indian, Continental and Chinese to precise are taking the most of the counters. Devanshi devours all of them one by one.
Reyhaan and Meet indulge into the dancing and the girls around them are feeling kind of insecure about their behaviour.
"Behave yourself, boys." Says Muskesh after seeing his son behaving so badly.
"Papa! Come on! Enjoy the party." Meet doesn't care at all about anything.
"No use, telling these brats." Says Mukesh and dismisses himself from there continuing to talk to other people.
Aakash does nothing but is playing games on his phone and Payal goes into the bar to drink martini.
Vihaan joins Payal for a drink, whereas Vihaan's secretary just sits besides the corner and watches them all.
"Look at them, b**tards." Says Vihaan with a shot of tequila in hands. He's swirling it, keeping his hands in his pockets.
"Leave Vihaan, it's such a good day for you. Enjoy no. Stop distracting yourself from all these people." Says Payal.
"Yeah. If you say so." He gulps the tequila.
Meet and Reyhaan's behaviour is so preposterous. They are touching girls without their consent and making them feel uncomfortable. Vihaan sees them doing this and goes to them.
"Stop it! This is not the place for your mannerless behaviour. This is not home or one of our pubs or clubs. This is a party for another person. Have some sense of maturity." Says Vihaan, pulling Meet's collar.
"And you'll tell us now, what to do? Is it?" Says Meet.
"See, Meet, don't test my patience okay." Says Vihaan.
"Otherwise what? You'll fight me, beat me?" Asks Meet, all drunk.
"Don't provoke me. You're drunk already." Vihaan warns.
"Come on hit me then. What are you waiting for." Meet throws his hands into the air.
Payal is drinking her tequila but observes the boys arguing again.
"Guys! Please stop it. How many times do I have to tell you?" Payal intervenes.
"What happened, Payal?" Mukesh asks again, paying attention to what is happening between his boys.
"This Vihaan must have done something to my kids." Devanshi comes into the picture.
"Stop it, Devanshi." Mukesh tells Devanshi.
"Everyone knows how your kids are. One more chance I get, I'll throw you both out. Behave properly." Warns Mukesh.
Vihaan sighs. He takes Payal with him for a drink again.
"So when are we getting married, Vihaan?" Payal swirls the martini in her hand and asks Vihaan.
"Married? Why that question all of a sudden?" Vihaan asks, gulping another shot of tequila.
"Because, it's high time now that we get married. Let's get married." Payal says, rubbing Vihaan's hand.
"But I'm not ready." Says Vihaan, shrugging and frowning.
"What's holding you back?" Asks Payal, a little irritated by hearing No from Vihaan.
"Do you have another girlfriend? Huh...tell me." Says Payal, getting close to Vihaan.
"Stop it Payal. I don't have anyone. It's just that I'm not ready to get married yet. I just need some time." Says Vihaan, holding Payal by her shoulders.
"How much more time do you need huh…? We've been dating for the past one and a half years isn't that enough to make your decisions." Asks Payal.
"But what's the rush and why is this question so out of the blue?" Vihaan is unbothered.
"You know what? Just forget it." Says Payal, leaving from there.
