RISHMIIII

chapter 2

Lakshmi rushed inside their room and closed the door. She stuffed her face in a pillow and cried.
Lakshmi looked at Rishi's  portrait : sniffs tumhe me itni buri lagti hoon..... Sniffs again..... Tumhe mera sirf use kiya sirf dhokebaazi ki mere sath sirf  jhooth kaha. Humara rishta , humari shaadi sab jhooth aur dhoka tha......
She wipes her tears thik hai Rishi oberoi me tumhe dikha dungi ki me sirf use and throw karne ke liye nahi bani ho aaj se abhi se hum dono ke saare rishte khatam karti hoon me..

It's almost dinner time Everyone came to the table .

Ayush : Mama bhabhi nahi ayi abhi tak.

Neelam : ajayegi uske liye ye sab itna asaan nahi hoga.

Lakshmi came down stairs with a fake smile.

Lakshmi: aap sab aise kyu baithe hai khaana khaanaa shuru kariya... Suddep bhaiya serve kariye.... Dijiye me serve karti hoon.

Vir: Lakshmi tum baitho beta sudeep serve kardega.

Lakshmi: please bauji ab kuch hi waqt bacha hai mera iss ghar me aap sabne mere liye bohot kuch kiya hai aur ab aage bhi kar rahe hai mere liye ek life partner dhund ke me itna toh kar hi sakti hoon...

Rishi with a strange look: tumhe ye tumhara profile banane se aur life partner dhundne se koi problem nahi hai.

Lakshmi: nahi Rishi aap sab ne soch samjh kar faisla liya hai...... Aur waise bhi humara rishta saccha nahi tha yeh baat me samjh kar accept kar chuki hoon.

Dadi : ye accha kiya puttar har din aise tujhe jhoothi umeed dena hume bhi sahi nahi lagta tha.
...

Rishi left the dinner table : mom mera hogya mann nahi mera...

Lakshmi sighs and sits to have her food.

Rishi in his room.

Woh ladki kya samjhti hai mujhe attitude diya usne. Mujhe? Not fair use zara sa bhi dukh nahi hui matlab me aise hi guilt me tha. Use mujhse pyaar tha hi nahi.... .

Lakshmi knocks. :Mr.Oberoi aap plz door kholiye.

Rishi opens thinking she might have brought food for him. But she came empty handed.

Rishi: kya hua?

Lakshmi: tumhe kya hua hai ? Mujhe mera phone chahiye shalu ko call karna hai.

Rishi frowns : jao call karo me change karke aata hoon.

Lakshmi told shalu everything and when Rishi came back she  disconnected from the call

Rishi: aisi kya baat thi jo mere samne nahi ho sakti thi.

Lakshmi : umm. Aisa kuch khaas nahi thi. Tum light off kardena me sone jaa rahi hoo. Good night.

Rishi turns towards the other side and sees food kept on the table. He knew Lakshmi brought it for him. He smiled looking at Lakshmi who was half asleep.

Rishi: itni jaldiii..

Lakshmi: haa iska kya matlab hota hai rishi 15 logo ne interest mark kiya hai aur baaki sixty logo ne text kiya hai and 1 kisi ne meet and greet ka time aaj fix kiya hai. Me nahi samjh sakti iska kya matlab hai.

Ayush: no wonder Rishi bhai bhabhi itni sweet hain sirf itne notifications bhi kam hai khair mene bhabhi ki meet and greet aaj fix ki thi.

Rishi: ek baar humse puch toh lena tha na ayush.

Lakshmi : par ayush ab me kaise mera matlab me date pe kaise jaaungi kya kahungi kaise milungi aur me ek anjaan insaan se kaise baat karungi woh bhi humari shaadi ki..... She is really tensed and nervous.

Ayush: bhabhi aap rishi bhai se milte waqt unhe bhi nahi jaanti thi naa so aap manage kar hi lengi.

Rishi: meri baat alag thi ayushh.
Rishi himself was not ready for Lakshmi's move onn.
