Chapter 8

Chadna surprised looks at Param as he smiled at his business partners:

“Wow, I didn't know you were married!

Param: as you already know, I don't like to talk about myself but (Look at Chadna) my love wanted to be known

Chadna: (surprised, Thinks: My love?) Uhh...

She lets go of Param's hand on her waist but this one will still be strong...

Chadna: (embarrassed)...

— we are happy for you, we leave you Mr. Singhania

They leave, Chadna pushes Param's hand away:

Param: I thought you wanted everyone to know we were a couple?

Chadna: Huh? Of course not you told me I was embarrassing and I wanted you to feel the same. (smiles) said do you think I'd like people to know we're getting married?

Param: Imagine that you should it's an honor for you to have me husband man

Chadna: (surprised)

Param: (takes a handkerchief and wipes his hands)

Chadna: what are you implying by wiping your hands? Eh

Param: (Looks at her with a smile) Touching you wasn't fun.

Chadna: (open-mouthed)

Param is leaving..

Chadna: Not a cakewalk, what do you mean?

Suddenly she recent on his ear a warm breath which suddenly makes him have shivers in all the body...

Param: and another thing don't play this little game with me! (he whispered in her ear) I hate women who want to show off, if you want us to continue on a steady footing listen to me! (he leaves)

Chadna: (exhales, touches her chest) Oh my Does that scared me! I have to drink something

She walks towards the bar,

Bela: (walks up to her while drinking wine) So you came?

Chadna: (takes juice) uhh hello Bela, I didn't think even the youngest were invited

Bela: (Moves her head) tsuuuu, tell me the truth, were you told we were going to the temple?

Chadna: sorry?

Bela: (looks her up and down) You put on such an inexpensive saree for a big party like this?

Chadna: (Think: but what is she telling me? It's one of my beautiful saris)

Bela: (sighs) Anyway, I couldn't expect better from a person like you.

Chadna: Bela, do you have anything against me?

Bela: (Smiles) And what makes you say that?

Chadna: you are so rude to me, you have such a beautiful innocent face but you always throw such words at me that....that really shock me

Bela: It's all because of you, I don't want you to marry my father!

Teri: (comes) so you want our dad to end up alone?

Bela: (looks at Teri) Mom is here and...

Teri: stop being silly you know mommy's not going to get back together with daddy, I'm sorry Aunt Chadna my sister is a little too childish!

Chadna: it doesn't matter

Bela leaves furious,

Teri: Are you having fun?

Chadna: Not really! (smiles) I don't know anyone

Teri: I'm sure yes but I have to admit that I don't either, there are only old people here

Chadna: hahahaha, they are not that old

Teri: (looks at everyone) I don't see anyone under 25! For me they are old

Chadna: (smiles)

After a few hours,

Chadna: (To Anika) Aunt I have to go now

Anika: already? (Looks on his phone) but it's only 10 p.m.!

Chadna: Exactly! Aayan at this hour has bursts, I have to be there to watch over him

Anika: okay okay I'll call the driver ok?

Chadna: it's going to take time, don't worry, I'll take a taxi

Anika: no way (calls Param)

Param: (arrives) I'm here,

Anika: Param, Chadna has to go home, could you drop her off?

Param: (smiles) Am I a driver?

Chadna: (looks at him out of the corner of her eye)

Anika: (smiles) Of course not, I....but who could drop her off at such a late hour? Go Param

Param: I hope this is the last time you ask me that!

He advances....

Anika: go ahead, take care of yourself

Chadna: (smiles) okay bye aunt

Bela: (sees them leave) But where are they going together?

Some time later on the road, there was a very awkward silence between the two of them:

Chadna: (Thinks: I have to lighten the mood...) Hmmm the weather is beautiful isn't it?

It was raining,

Param: (frowns and remains silent)

Chadna: (puts some music on the radio)

Param: turn it off! (In a cold voice she switches off immediately)

Chadna: Sorry, I just wanted us to not be so...so quiet! (Param drives without saying anything) are you still so quiet? I mean by that that we're going to end up getting married better try to be friends but with this character that you have (shake your head) it may be hard, but don't worry I'm very understanding

Param: (stops the car)

Chadna: (surprised) there is a problem I...

Param: (looks at her with a forced smile) we're going to play a game okay?

Chadna: (surprised) game? You...you and me?

Param: (nods) are you embarrassed?

Chadna: uhh HAHAHA no why would I?

Param: okay, I'm starting ok? Take off the seat belt!

Chadna: (surprised but takes it away)

Param: open the door

Chadna: (opens)

Param: get out of the vehicle!

Chadna: (gets out of the vehicle, Think: what is this weird game?)

Param: (rolls down the window and throws Chadna's bag away) Bye! (He drives thinking: what a stupid thing she is)

Chadna: (shocked) he.....he just left me there? How could he do it? Aieee....it's so late how am I going home now?

At the same time a taxi passes by and she stops him...

— (the taxi driver) Yes?

Chadna: hello sir, can you drop me off at Rajmir boarding school?

- yes go up!

Chadna: thank you (she gets in) this man dropped me off nowhere, luckily I saw this taxi

The evening goes pretty well, the next day at the Singhania's:

Bela: (comes downstairs singing a song when she sees people in her living room) Grandma who are these people?

Anika: they are salespeople! They're there to sell me saris and jewelry

Bela: (disgusted era) who wears sarees these days? Is it so old fashioned? But jewelry interests me

Anika: you can choose what you like except those who are with me

Bela: (intrigued) why?

Anika: I chose them for my future daughter-in-law

Hearing this Bela puts the jewelry box on the table very loudly that even the sellers jump...

Bela: I want more!

— Miss my jewelry is fragile you could break it in.....

Bela: what good quality jewelry is fragile? Eh ? (Stands up) and I can pay for all this jewelry as well as you

- (touches) me?

Bela: (furious, leaves)

Anika: This girl my God excuse her!

- HAHAHAHAHA, she ... she is really direct! Hahahahahaha

Anika: (forced smile)

Meanwhile Rajiv was in his room sleeping, Sudha arrives with tea:

Sudha: (puts the tea on the table) he's still asleep! (Makes it move) Rajiv wake up

Rajiv: (opens his eyes) What time is it?

Sudha: (looks at his watch) 9 a.m.

Rajiv wakes up fast....

Rajiv: 9am?

Sudha: yes but....

He quickly goes to the bathroom, After a few minutes he goes downstairs:

Sudha: but why are you in such a hurry?

Rajiv: if I arrive late, Param will definitely do something to me! And as you can see I don't want to die (kiss her on the cheek) I have to let you take care of yourself little mama

Sudha: ok (surprised) really this Param manages to scare everyone! Tsu he does not scare me, me Sudha no one can stand up to me

Suddenly he hears what you say in Param's voice, surprised when she turns around it was Teri with a phone in her hands:

Sudha: (surprised)

Teri: (stifles laughter) Grandma, I thought you weren't afraid of anything! Is big Sudha afraid of my daddy too?

Sudha: I prefer to leave because you all annoy me in this house (she leaves)

Teri: (chuckle)

Some time later at the company, Rajiv arrives:

Rohan: but why are you so late?

Rajiv: Yesterday I drank too much at a party but does Pa.....

Rohan: he hasn't noticed your absence yet

Rajiv: (sighs) I'm going right away

He goes up in the elevator, Leyla also goes up but do not see each other, people came out of the elevator and only Rajiv and Leyla remained, this one takes a small mirror in order to powder herself when she sees Rajiv...

Leyla: (turns) beautiful kid, is that you?

Rajiv: (looks at her, remembers her) you!

Leyla: (smiles) What are you doing here?

Rajiv: I..... (Getting serious) It's none of your business!

Leyla: that what you say (approaches him little by little) everything that concerns you is mine

She puts a hand aside, Rajiv looks at her

Rajiv: (moves his hand away) Do you think you're in a series?

He was going to leave but this one grabbed his hand and made him come back to her, he is surprised...

Leyla: (smiling) So you work here?

The elevator opens and there were people...

Rajiv: (pushes her back) mad! (He's going fast)

People were watching Leyla....

Leyla: What do you look like that? Have you ever seen a couple in love? (She leaves smiling)

— Ms. Khan and Mr. Singhania are a couple?

- you just heard it is not it?

In the work room, Rajiv arrives and sits at his desk, Leyla comes over and gives him a kiss with her mouth:

Rajiv: (shocked, hides his face: why does this have to happen to me? God I really like women but not these genres and especially if Param finds out about this....I might lose a tooth!) Ohhhh.. .. (to an employee) who is that woman over there?

- the one who has just entered this office? She has been working with Mr. for a very long time!

Rajiv: uh I talked to him and I have the impression that his head is bah (twirls his finger)

— hahahaha yes she's a little weird but in terms of work, she's more than smart

Rajiv: (Think: it must be true otherwise Param was not collaborating with her)

A few days passed,

The wedding day had almost arrived since it was the day before the wedding, Who says wedding eve necessarily says turmeric ceremony, everyone was dressed in color at the boarding school and put turmeric on Chadna:

Aksha: (apply turmeric on Chadna) I can't believe tomorrow you're leaving us!

Chadna: (looks down)

Aksha: but it does not matter because it is for your good so I am delighted

Aayan: (also applies turmeric to Chadna) you don't have to be sad mum I'll always be by your side right?

Chadna: yes, I will never let you go away from me (She takes him in her arms)

Aayan: Hummm mum let go of me you're going to put it everywhere!

Chadna: (puts her cheeks to yours) There you go!!

Aayan: (laughs) no no no!!! Get off me mom!!!!

Chadna: (laughs) I love you I won't let you go

Meanwhile at the Singhania, there were some family friends waiting for Param for the turmeric ceremony,

— (to Sudha) but when will Param decide to come down?

Sudha: let's be patient his majesty will arrive soon

In the garden, Rajiv was chatting with some girls:

Rajiv: yeah it's been a long time you've changed a lot

— we have to go bye (they enter)

Leyla: (comes) Rajiv?

Rajiv: (startled) ma....madam what are you doing here?

Leyla: What are you talking about? Madam ?

Rajiv: yes I am a Singhania but I am only a simple employee so you are my superior

Leyla: (walks up to him)

Rajiv: what...what are you doing?

Leyla: I'm glad you're a Singhania so we'll see each other more often bye (enter the hand)

Rajiv: (shaking) Oieee I have goosebumps my God!!!

A little later Param comes down with his mother:

Anika: (whispers to him) can you do it for me? You are my only son if you don't marry by the standards who am I going to marry like that?

Param: yes but do your best so that these women do not touch me otherwise....

An old lady comes to him and touches his cheek,

— oh how our little Param has grown

Param: (looks at his mother)

Anika: uhh hahahahaha yes, sit down Param

He sits down and the ceremony begins, they were applying turmeric to him but Param was doing it just to please Anika, in the kitchen....

Sudha: (spicing up the turmeric) Hee hee sure when Param gets this in those devilish eyes he'll learn to respect me! Tsuu I put a little in it!

She adds pepper and calls a servant

- Yes Madam

Sudha: hmmm take it to women! The turmeric they have is too little go ahead

-okay madam !

The woman was behaving towards the women when Leyla stops her...

Leyla: what is that?

— turmeric!

Leyla: I know, but why are there already?

- it's madam sudha who wants to put it back, I'm sure it's blessed!

Leyla: blessed? (Takes it) I'll give it to them!

— uhh okay miss (she gives it to him and leaves)

Leyla goes in the direction of Rajiv,

Rajiv: what do you want?

Leyla: Turmeric! I can ?

Rajiv: (sighs) ok

She applies turmeric to him and it gets into his eyes and suddenly his face turns red and he starts screaming, everyone is surprised....

Rajiv: my eyes! Ahhhhhhhh I'm dead my God!!! Water water!!!!!

Leyla: (surprised)

Param: What do you have?

Rajiv: can't you see it? Hot pepper !!! Ahhh this woman wants to kill me!

A maid comes with water and gives it to her,

Rajiv: It's not going away! Ahhhhhh

Anika: But calm down! Param takes him to his room to take a bath, but how did the hot pepper get into his eyes?

Sudha arrives very happy thinking to find Param with the eyes on fire but sees Rajiv who shouts...

Sudha: (surprised)...
