chapter 23

The necklace was sold more than one crore. Even, namita wanted it but she took a relief breath that Rajeev gave up soon. Otherwise, if he bought it for her in that price, she would be regretted when she saw that necklace.

The auction continued one by one. Finally, it was last item and that was the bracelet which Suhana fancied. Suhana relieved that she didn't tell anything to Namita and Rajeev. First, the price was already high. And according to bidding process it surpass in crore. She was stupid that for a jewelry she wanted to be in debt in her whole life.

Namita, Rajeev abd Suhana were not interested it and it was last that's why it would be end soon. They decided to go party hall to enjoy their evening. And by the way, they tired to sit on same seat for long.

They came to party hall. It was lively then auction hall. There were already many peoples which were not interested in auction. They came to enjoy party or make connections.

Even, they could hear the host voice from there that's why they knew who bought what? Some were discussion the auction item which was sold.

A lady commented, "I wondered who will buy that bracelet? Don't you see it's expensive than its appearance?"

The other had some knowledge to jewelry that's why she said calmly, "it's worth to expensive. Look at one one bead the combination many colours. It's hard to find this type of beads and most importantly the combination of colours."

The others agreed with her.

Suhana and namita were enjoying fruit punch near them that's why they could hear their conversation. Namita asked in low voice, "Suhana, what do you think?"

Suhana looked at screen once again which was showing that bracelet. She could hear the bidding price which was raising. Even she was also like it but because of price she didn't take any fancy now.

She also explain her thoughts very clearly, "I also fancy it at first but now looking at price, we can't afford it. Only rich peoples afford this type of jewelry that's why there is no use to waste your time and thought on it."

Namita was speechless. She knew her sister is very understandable but she didn't think about it because she couldn't afford. It's beyond of her understanding. She also fancied that necklace and she knew she can't afford it. if Rajeev bought it for her, she definitely regretted it. But she didn't have it she missed it a lot. It's human nature. We are not satisfied with anything until we want.

Namita shook her head with disappointment again. Before she gave lecture to her sister, she heard Rajeev's voice, "Namita, Sudhanshu is also here." Sudhanshu was Rajeev's friend. He was single till yet. He was mature and responsible person. Namita knew it because he sometimes came to her home and she met many times with him in party. According to her, He was best candidate for her sister.

She turned back and looked Rajeev and Sudhanshu who were smiling. She also smiled and said, "Hey Sudhanshu, what a great concidence."

Even, she knew he also attended it after all he was one of respected family.

Sudhanshu smiled and greeted back. He looked at Suhana and greeted, "hello Suhana, how are you?"

Suhana looked at him. She also met him at Namita's wedding and sometimes at home. She knew he was Rajeev's friend. Even, she knew her sister intention. Namita talked her directly about him but she denied. It's not that she didn't want to interact with him but she felt uncomfortable around him like other males. That's why she denied directly.

Suhana also greeted, "Hello, I am fine. What's about you?"

Sudhanshu and she exchanged few words polielty that she didn't notice who bought that bracelet. After all, it was not her concern. She couldn't afford it that's why it was useless for her.

Namita and Rajeev excused themselves and went other side as Suhana and Sudhanshu talked to each other. Suhana understood it but she couldn't do anything. As she was thinking to excuse, she heard Sudhanshu's voice, "Suhana, what about we go to dinner or lunch in future?"

Suhana pursed her lips tightly. Did namita give some hint to him? Didn't she clearly deny? But she couldn't talk harshly to him that's why she said polielty, "I am sorry. Actually, I am busy right now because of a project."

Sudhanshu smiled with embrassment, "it's ok. We can meet whenever you want."

Before she said anything, she heard a masculine familiar voice from her back, "Suhana?"

She knew who was he without turning? She was glad into her heart. He always reached at time. She turned back without hesitation and hugged him tightly, "Sam"

Sameer patted her back smoothly because he could feel her tense muscle because of hug. After hugged, her tense muscles were getting calm. He glared Sudhanshu. Sudhanshu was speechless. He knew Sameer who worked in Singh Group. He met him once.

Sudhanshu didn't know Suhana knew Sameer and most importantly, they were so close. It was not appropriate to hug any male in front of many peoples.

Even, Sameer also didn't know Sudhanshu was Namita's husband friend. He thought he was harrassing her. That's why he glared at Sudhanshu.

Sudhanshu overcame from his shock and asked with hestitation, "Mr Mehra, you and suhana....?"

Sameer didn't let him finish and said with mocking tone, "I didn't know Mr kulkarni has this type of habit."

It was really harsh and rude comments. Every single person understands the meaning. When suhana noticed what Sameer said, she left him and tried to explain, "Sameer actually..."

Sameer also glared at her and held her wrist tightly. He warned her, "You shut up. Come with me."

She was confused. Suddenly what happened to her. She knew he was short temper and she sometimes witnessed it. She understood he was angry that's why she thought to listen him.

She looked to Sudhanshu with guilty and apologized, "I am so sorry. I will explain...."

Before she could say anything, Sameer dragged her a side.

Sudhanshu looked at them leaving with shocking. Suhana hugged Sameer and didn't push his hand away. It is clear but he looked the Sameer burning eyes. He was worried for Suhana. What if Sameer misunderstood her? He knew suhana also rejected him but he likes her that's why he tried to his luck again. Suhana was understandable girl. She respects elders. He never saw her raising her voice if she was unsatisfied with anything. She was definitely marriageable type girl. He wants to marry this type of girl. That's why she was best candidate for him. But now...

Suddenly, he remembered namita. Did namita not know about Mr Mehra and Suhana? Before his mind started to work properly, he heard Namita's voice, "Sudhanshu, where is Suhana?"

Namita left them for few minutes. And that damn girl went somewhere again.

Sudhanshu told Everything to namita and Rajeev what happened now?

Namita shouted with panick, "Is Sameer here?"

Rajeev also knew Sameer knew Namita's family but he also didn't know truth. Sudhanshu nodded. Namita cursed in low voice and asked Sudhanshu, "in which direction they left?"

Sudhanshu pointed the direction. As namita took steps towards that direction, she noticed Rajeev was following her. She stopped and looked at Rajeev, "Rajeev, please wait here."

Rajeev saw some complexion on her face, "What if he hurt her?"

She laughed mocking, "he will never hurt her. I will explain you later. Please listen me."

Rajeev nodded. He trusted his wife, "ok, I will wait you. If something happened, call me."

She gave her smile and left. Rajeev thought when Sameer and suhana likes to each other, why their families are against them? But namita promised her to tell everything and he will wait.

Sameer almost dragged her a side. Even, she couldn't keep his pace but she didn't complain. She knew he was angry that's why she endured his behaviour. Sameer attended this function because of his uncle. His uncle is business man. He got passes of this event. Sameer returned from overseas just now. That's why he had no more connection. His uncle wanted to help him. He knew his uncle's intention was clear that's why he agreed to attend.

Soon, he got bored. He wanted to buy something for Suhana but he was hestitated. How will he explain his action to her? They were not young any more. He didn't want she misunderstood him that's why it's better to do with thinking.

But he saw Suhana. He didn't believe on his eyes first but how can he misunderstand her with someone else. Then he saw namita with a guy. He recalled Suhana told him Namita got married. It means that guy was her husband. She was looking happy with him. He was relieved. Even, he never showed her anything but she was his cousin and he was concerned for her. He knew her feelings but he always avoid her because he didn't feel in that way and second, he didn't want them to be awkward with each other.

When he noticed Suhana's dress, he lost his temper and most importantly, when he saw Sudhanshu to flirt with her. He could see her uneasiness but he was angry than why didn't she deny him directly? Why did she was thinking for excuse?

At last, he could control himself and dragged her a side.

They stopped a far from crowd. He glared at her for few minutes. She was standing with lowering her head. He shouted, "Suha, what were you doing there?"

Suhana didn't understand why he was so angry. She thought many possibilities. She knew he was caring for her and he knew very well why she felt uneasy. She tried to explain, "Sam ,He was not harrassing me. He is second brother in law's friend. We were just talking. You misunderstood him."

Before Sameer could say something, they heard Namita's voice, "Sameer, what are you doing here? Do you think what effect your action on others?"

Sameer looked at Namita with disdain and said mocking tone, "So it's your idea?"

Suhana looked at Namita and Sameer one by one. Namita laughed mockingly, "what if it's my idea?"

They were challenging to each other. Suhana rubbed her temple with frustration. 'Did they forget I am here?' she knew both of them had short temper.

Sameer glared Namita, "Namita, are you really her sister? Do you know what you are doing with her?"

Namita asked angrily, "ohh.. then tell me what am I doing to her?"

Sameer said with frustration, "it's useless to talk with you...and you Suha, Namita is brainless but what happened to you? What are you doing into that short dress? Did you forget what happened th...." Before he could finish, Suhana slapped him tightly.

Even, namita was stunned. This time, Suhana shouted, "Just shut up Sameer.... Just shut up...." There were tears flowing into her eyes.

Sameer held his cheek which was slapped. He was not angry but he came into his senses. What was he going to say in anger? He almost lost his brain.

He didn't care about himself but said in soft tone, "Suha... I am sorry."

Suhana glared at him with teary eyes and she ran towards other side. She was really disappointed. Which incident she didn't dare to think.... Sameer was going to say? How could she tolerate it?

There were tears into her eyes that's why she couldn't see clear what's infront of her. As she was running, she bumped into a wall. She pushed back. But as she was going to fall, a pairs of hand held her tightly and pull her towards his chest.

She couldn't see the face of that man but she smelled the familiar scent and felt familiar touch. Even, she was relaxed into his arms but she was upset now and didn't want to talk. That's why she tried to push him away but his holding was tight on her waist.

She tried to struggle again but he whispered into her ear with husky voice, "Don't move."

His voice gave goosebumps on her skin but she didn't care and continued to struggle. He took off his coat and wrapped on her waist tightly. He helplessly picked her up into his arm and ordered to his assistant, "clear the way."
