Saira:
"No!I won't let this happen!How can you even think like this?No!I know she doesn't like him.I can't let her ruin her life!Please understand.She is your daughter and my sister!Shyla try to make her understand!"
"Mummy,please try to understand Aarav's point.What is about business!We will make it stand back.But Saira's life shouldn't be ruined.Atleast ask her opinion."
"Shut up Shyla,You are still not the daughter in law of this house.This words may sting you but listen,your dad was a normal employee.How would you even understand how a business is established.Mrs Kapoor,tell her to be in her limits when she is talking."
It didn't take me time to recognise the last voice.It was Mrs Malhotra.She had spoken with such venom that I couldn't figure out what the whole fuss was about.
I saw Shyla going out of the room sobbing quietly.Her tears stung me to my heart.I have never seen her in such a sad state.
I heard Aarav's voice,"Mrs Malhotra.You are no family too right now.You have no rights to speak about my fiancée."
And he stormed out of the room.
His eyes searched for Shyla.I also noticed that his eyes were red from tears.There were signs of frustration and disappointment.
I cleared my throat and answered,"She went towards my room to take her bag.Go and stop her.Now!"
He nodded and jogged off towards my room.
I decided to enter living room and saw Mrs Malhotra sipping her tea like just nothing happened.
Like she never made Aarav and Shyla sad.
And my mom was sitting with her eyes downcast.
Mrs Malhotra must have noticed me as she said looking at me,distasteful of my choice of cloth at morning.
I mean what do you expect me to be dressed as when you arrive at seven in morning.Obviously I would be dressed in pajamas,not clad in sarees or suits.
I had the urge to roll my eyes at her behaviour but decided not to do it,as I was not rude.
Though she is.
Normally I wouldn't react like this to any woman or person of her age,instead I respect them.But right now,I had a bad feeling about Mrs Malhotra and Mr Malhotra.

Anyways,I did say,"Hello Aunty."
She nodded and went back to sipping tea.
Rude much?
I thanked God that she wasn't my mother in law or I bet Nikhil would have been pissed between this rudeness.
Mom instructed me to sit.I sat beside her and she said,"I think it is time for you to know."
I looked at her with confused.What was she talking about?
But Mrs Malhotra snapped her head towards us and said in a stern voice,"No."
My mother instantly nodded and left me with questions as she told me to go to my room.
And damn this.Mrs Malhotra was still sipping her tea.
How irritating!
As I was leaving,I heard Mrs Malhotra say,"I told you to not even try to tell her.How do you think she will react when she hears that your company is going to sold out to us.And her dance school being sold off.No one can save her now from us."
My eyes started watering.Why?How could our company,dad's dream sold out?My dream,oh god!I had to do something.
Her words rung in my ear,"no one can save her now from us."
Her mind was panicking and her tears were just not stopping.Her family's pride and bread was at stake.Their livelihood and employees lives would be damaged.
Just then she knew what she was going to do.She took out her phone and dialled the one man she surprisingly had trust.
------------------
Nikhil's hand still pained a little.He could not sleep properly after Saira had rejected him.How would he crack his dream deal?
The condition for deal was strange.He had to be married or this deal will be cancelled.Great!Now he losses a deal or he has to get a new lady to be his wife.
Suddenly,his phone with Marimba tone rang out.
He annoyingly looked at phone as he wondered who could call him so early.The number was not known to him,so he carefully answered the phone.
"Hello"
"Nikhil,this is Saira.Meet me at Jogging park now!Please!"
And she cut the call.Nikhil stood frozen.How...?Why..?He had so many questions but he decided to go and meet her.
Her voice anyway sounded quick panic filled.
So in few minutes,he had arrived to the park.
----------------------------

Saira:
I was waiting for Nikhil and luckily he arrived quite early.I could see he hadn't changed from his previous night clothes and had dark circles.
As he came near me,I dragged him to nearby park bench and asked him,"Why?"
He looked confused and he asked me,"What why?You called me here ..."
I continued to say,"why is your company confiscating all our property ,company and my dance academy?Last I remembered,your company isn't a bank."
He looked shocked and said,"What!Just give me a second."
He dialled some number and called.I heard series of his short answers such as,'What''Are you sure?"
He shook his head and faced me with sad face.
He spoke,"Saira,it's true.Apparently your dad had took loan from our company when my dad was Ali....I mean when dad was the chief.So this month was due to be given.Apparently according to your company,the deal was already signed off and paid,but our company has no records.And your company has already invested that money for some other deal.So,I guess that's why this all is happening."
I nodded and bend my head low as I was disappointed with nothing could be done.
I heard him speaking though,"But why will they confiscate your dance academy?Its not even registered under Kapoor's.Something is wrong."
My eyes lit up as he spoke this and I turned to him with hopes as high as sky.
He called someone and then turned to me.He spoke to me,"My lawyer is sending me draft secretly of what is there in paper.No one knows about this other than my parents and my lawyer.Just wait.oh I guess it has come."
I wanted to ask why he didn't know but I let that go and focused on the pdf file sent by his lawyer of the deal.
He went on reading until last lines caught our attention.
"The following deal,if not fulfilled,Our company will have full rights to seize all the property and stakes of Kapoor's.In case a member of Kapoor's is related to us in following relation such as married in Malhotra household.The following deal will be null and void.
The engagement must be announced publicly in case married."

The first thing that came out of my mouth was,"Who makes that kind of deal?"
His response was,"Our parents."
I groaned.We looked at each other and started to laugh.
Seriously we were weird.We are laughing here when I should be crying
I told him,"I don't like your parents too much.But I like your sister.Just like a sister I wanted."
He replied,"My relation is ok with them so no worries.And yep,I love my sister."
I nodded.
He asked me,"So deal?"
"Is this a deal or marriage?",I asked him.
He calmly leaned near my ear and whispered slowly,"For you,a marriage.For me,it's a deal."He told me as he messaged someone.
I ignored the tingling sensation that I felt when he had leaned near and his hot breath had fanned me near to death.
But the question was:
Do I consider this marriage or a deal?
I let this question slip off my mind and nodded.
He looked around and sighed quite loudly.
He started removing a gold chain from his neck and I saw a ring which was hanging from the chain.
He took out that ring and I was surprised by how pretty the ring was.
It was a ring which had a diamond of God knows what carat.Come on,I am not a jewellery analyst.But I liked it as it had a simplicity around it.
I jokingly asked,"Is that why you always carry the ring around your neck so you can propose any girl?"
His gaze was serious and he bent on his knees.
He asked me quite romantically(plz note the sarcasm) in a deadpan voice,"Marry me?"
I wanted to say why he was asking me like this when I already agreed but I decided to play along so I faked some tears as there were onlookers and passerby and dramatically said yes.
He slid the ring to my finger and
Snap!
I heard lots of photographers shooting our photo and lot of media coverage.
I was shocked.I tried to face him but I saw him grabbing his stuff and then taking my hand as he dragged us to his car.
I sat beside him as he started his car.
A notification came to my mobile which had the news:
Most eligible bachelor of the world finally hitched!
We spotted Saira Kapoor happily shedding tears of joy as she said yes to Nikhil Malhotra.They were spotted spending a family day yesterday as both families had met at Kapoor's .The Business ex CEO and now owner of Malhotra company,had dated several models before finally settling down for the choreographer who also leads a number of Social service for underprivileged.We hear from our sources that she is a simple and humble person who belongs from Kapoor family.
We wish the couple a great congratulations and ....
Do we hear wedding bells soon?

I was speechless.I turned to him and told him,"Oh lord!We are on whole media coverage!"
He shrugged as it was normal for him.Of course it was for him.
I heard some sniffling noise.
I looked at him and I saw his eyes were glassy.
I didn't understand why were tears forming in his eyes.
He blinked rapidly,took a deep breath and he said,"Saira,don't ever lose this ring.This is the last thing that I have of my dead mother.And no,don't ask any questions."
I had so many questions yet I kept quiet as we drove in silence towards my home to announce them of our marriage plans.
I wonder what will happen now?

Image of the ring:

So the deal is on!Did you expect this?
What do you think of Nikhil at this point of time?I think in this chapter he appeared quite emotional.What do you think?
And might I add,this was one of the most romantic proposal I ever write(Sarcasm).
Anyways,expect some drama(only some drama :p)for next chapter.
Don't forget to comment(plz),read and vote!
