Chapter 22: chapter 22

    The guest starts to leave and Ram takes Amar aside, Amar Rhea is a good soul. Start accepting her and live your life to the fullest. Amar eyes are fiery but he didn't say a word. Amar you will find one day that we have given you the best. Amar " keep dreaming, that day will never come", he says without looking at Ram. Ram although felt offended he wants to fulfill Aditya request. As he turns to leave, Amar " wait a minute". Ram stays in his position. Amar walks before him and stands facing him with hands in his pocket. Is she safe? He asks. Ram " I just asked people to spy her, and I didn't plan for anything else, until and then you go with my words". Till now Ram was clam but in an instant his voice turned deep and said be good and get married to Rhea. I won't bother that low grade girl, saying he leaves. Ram hates Upra not just because she fell for Amar, but the way she shouted calling his name, made her loose her face infront of Ram.     Amar stands there till Kajal comes in search of him. She pulls his legs " what Gudu? Rehearsing what to talk to Rhea". Di... What are you speaking? And tell me is she not the one who did the intern in our hospital?. Kajal laughs at him. Amar gets irritated and also prayed that she shouldn't be the one. But even god mocks at him. Kajal " have you met her before then? ". Amar through gritted teeth saya" didi... ". Okay Amar, Okay ...I'll let you know everything of your fiance. Your So eager, Hmm... So, Yeah.... She attended her internship in our hospital only. The moment Kajal word left her mouth Amar was furious, but concealed it for the sake of Upra. Already his father has made some men stark around her, if any wrong move made; who knows what would happen. Thinking of this he keeps quite.     Rhea sits with Mehta's and Tanwar's although she wasn't cheerful. Rahul and Rithesh was sitting at another table along with their families. Rithesh " Bhai I said you today is my best friend engagement and you failed to come". On the other side of the phone his brother was giving lame excuses for not attending the engagement. He didn't come because he felt like all the old memories and pain will engulf him if he comes to India.  Rahul have his food in silence. His mom and dad keeps praising Rhea's beauty and how the couple look good when standing together. Rahul felt bit down, still kept on chewing his food.       Kajal and Amar took their seat and Amar was offered a seat next to Rhea. As he sits down he unbutton his blazer's last button and talks to Rhea in a tone which only she hears. " Are you brainless??, despite our meetings ended up with fight; how did you dared to get engaged to me" The moment t he said this to Rhea, he started sweet talking to Adi and Smitha on the other side. Rhea felt  choking and kept moving her spoon on the plate. Still Amar didn't stop, as he was talking with Adi leisurely.  immediately he made his tone low and firm, leaned towards Rhea, making everyone think that he's having a romantic talk with Rhea. But only Rhea knew how he was spitting his haterism towards her. Still she managed to keep up her composure, half the way through the meal, Rhea got up. Daddy am feeling exhausted shall I leave? Looking at her pale face, Shikha was the first to break the silence, Rhea betta you go sleep well. We will leave after spending few hours, you no need to bother us. Rhea still waits for her parents approval. Smitha hesitate but Adi... Speaks up, We are sorry Ram I haven't taken her to any social events nor any family functions. So she is not used to... Ram doesn't let Adi speak further and asks is this how our relationship is? Adi. We know Rhea very well. Look at her, exhaustion is written all over her face, Kajal he calls. Kajal " Yes dad". Check on Rhea after your dinner. Okay dad. And Rhea you go sleep dear. No need  to bother  anyone. Rhea keeps quite and finally Smitha leaves her seat and accompany Rhea.         Smitha returns after 15 mins and continues to have her dinner and the families talk of old tales. Whereas Rhea breaks down in her room crying her heart out. Reminiscing every single word Amar said. I wouldn't have agreed If I have seen his picture. But how come... How come he blame me? Can't he stop the engagement? He's older to me for 9 years. Then can't he talk to his parents. She keeps blabbering while crying. And finally exhaustion over takes her and she falls asleep. Adi... Comes to check on Rhea and sees her tears strained face. Smitha comes behind him and says, Adi... She is disturbed a lot. But you don't worry she is just used to us and suddenly pushing her into marriage makes her feel awkward. Only so she is reacting this way. Adi turns towards Smitha and clasps her hands. Wish everything will be alright and Rhea is happy. Smitha smiles. And both her kiss her good night and leaves the room, after turning of the light. Is it just the room turns dark or Rhea's life too...Upra's Revenge...
