Love is a spontaneous emotion

Chapter 11 Blackmailed

Papa pulled out his phone and then he kept looking for something on his phone and finally with a satisfied smile on his face he said " Here, take a look at this,the most recent picture of Maithili. "

I took the phone and looked at the screen.....

The girl looked stunningly beautiful,I must admit. But I want a woman with maturity, not a kid and a woman with a good family background, not a tramp for my wife. Is it too much to ask for? I don't understand what Papa saw in her.He and everyone else at home have loved her and pampered her since she was a little girl but I have always felt like she is the same class as Shriman 's children. Call me class conscious or whatever. But I feel sick even to call her a friend ,here Papa is asking me to marry her.

I said Papa," I am not a kid that you can lure me with a chocolate. It is the question of my life. I am not going to marry her.I am really sorry, forgive me."

Papa said, " You can do as you wish, Raghu, but don't expect me to keep up the promise that I made to you. I will not acknowledge you as my son.If you don't marry her, you are no longer my son, and I am no longer your father. You may leave now. "

what the heck was that? Papa wants to break ties with me just because of that Mooch,Really?This girl has wrapped them all around her little finger.She looked so innocent, but she is anything but innocent. She is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Because of that Tramp, he is even blackmailing me now.

I just stood up to leave when Papa stopped me and said, " Raghu, book a ticket only for yourself, and I will manage by myself because I don't want to travel with you. "

I said, " Papa, why are you behaving like a kid? All this because of that vagrant Maithili, huh?"

Papa, "How dare you, Raghu? She is not a vagrant. That child is a gem. You are a lucky man if she married you. "

I Snickered, " Papa, what is wrong with you? you know I hate when someone forces me to do something I don't want to. We have been here even before, it is not new to you.

Papa said,"Raghu, it is final either you obey me or we are done.Think carefully and make a decision. Now you may leave. "

My patience was dwindling. I don't know what has gotten into Papa. He has never been so adamant about anything. I love my Papa more than anything in the world . I know his health is not good. I really don't want him to go through any mental stress. What should I do?

I left the room and went to my car and I drove away without any destination in mind. I kept driving for hours, but my mind was still a mess. I was recalling those days when that girl used to come home . I had come home from school and nobody was home , just the servants and Naav were at home. When I came to check on my sister to her room I saw Naav was was playing some board game with Maithili and when I came closer to her room I saw both girls were sitting across the table and Naav was crying bitterly and Maithili was apologizing to her . I assumed that Maithili had hurt my sister, which triggered my protective instincts. Without thinking, I ran towards Maithili and pushed her away from my sister. Maithili, who was much smaller than my sister and fragile, fell on the ground, hitting her head on the marble floor, and started bleeding. I neither felt guilty nor pity for this girl . I was enraged. Naav came running to me she pushing away, hit me with her small fist and said that I was a monster and than went to Maithili and started crying even bitterly and started helping her get up, just then my Dad came into the room , seeing Maithili hurt he came running to help her and Naav started complaining about what I did to Dad. Dad glared at me and said , " What is the meaning of this, Raghu?Why did you hurt the child? "I said , " Dad, I thought she hurt Naav, so I pushed her away.I did'nt know..."

Dad said, " You did'nt know and hurt the girl even before you enquired. What happened? Now apologize to the girl." Shocked at my Dad's demand, I said," I will never apologize to that low life. Why, Dad ,why are you degrading me by asking me to apologize to the servant's kid?"

I saw deep disappointment on Dad's face, and for the first time, he had scolded me, and all of it happened because of that Tramp. That was the day I first saw that rat and had deep-seated hatred for right from that time. I also could'nt believe that the girl Dad showed me on his phone was the same girl . She looked out of the world .Duckling had indeed transformed into a beautiful swan.

After driving for God, I know how long I was tired, and when I checked time, it was already past 11 in the night, and I also realized that I was very far from the hotel I stayed. Luckily I saw a hotel not too far and decided to stay there the night and I checked into the hotel room, having shower I ordered the room service for my dinner. As I came out after showering, I heard a knock on the door.I opened the door, and I was surprised by finding Dadaji standing at the doorstep. He is actually my best friend and colleague at Harvard, Aman Tripati's Dadaji, and also Papa's best childhood friend Govardhan Tripati 's Dad. Me and Naav, too, addressed him as "Dadaji." I said, "Dadaji, what a pleasant surprise?Please come in."
