REALIZATION OF LOVEPART- 52
After wearing a white shirt and brown trouser, he wore his dark brown blazer and glanced towards the bathroom. He spoke in a bit loud voice "Nivi how much time are you going to take? I am ready. Please get ready soon."
"Bas 20 minutes more. You go downstairs I will join you soon." came Nivi's muffled reply.
Shaking his head, he went out to see Anurag pacing down in the hall and checking his watch again and again. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Viren descending down and breathed in relief.
"Viren my brother tell me how I look?"
"Idiot as usual. But what's the matter, dude?"
"If in future you are going to bring Tani home before we head for a party, then please call me before. I was getting ready, when she came and kicked me out of my own room saying she needs to get ready. She didn't even let me look in the mirror, can You believe that?"
Viren chuckled and replied "Yeah I can believe that."
As they heard Nivi and Tani's voice getting near, they turned to see them walking down towards them. The moment Viren laid his eyes on Nivi, he forgot breathing and stood still. She was looking really gorgeous in a transparent red saree with wide black laced border at the end, her waist length hairs dancing behind her. She was wearing chandelier diamond earrings which glittered in the light making Viren blink his eyes few times to get better vision of his beautiful wife. She fluttered her beautiful eyelashes to look at Viren before lowering her gaze while blushing.
Viren didn't knew for how long he stood there, staring at her. He didn't even cared about the laugh and sarcastic comments he barely heard from Tani and Anurag. He was lost in admiring the beauty of his wife who for some unknown reason was not looking at him. She was looking a bit embarrassed may be due to his continuous stare, but he saw relief and happiness in her eyes the moment she realized that her husband loved the way she was looking right now.
To get him out of his reverie, Anurag snapped his fingers in front of Viren, shaking his shoulders a bit. When Viren tore his gaze away from Nivi, Anurag spoke sarcastically "Now if you are done with admiring your beautiful wife, shall we go now?"
Glaring at Anurag, Viren went out not saying to hear few laughter behind his back.
In the party, Nivi was talking to Tani when a women approached them. Nivi turned to look at the women and saw a middle aged looking women wearing a rather revealing gown, beaming at Tani clearly ignoring her. She turned to go away from there when Tani caught her hand and indicated to not leave her.
"Hello Tani Darling. How are you? I must say you are looking simple gorgeous." the women said while eying Tani's red gown which she chose to wear for the party.
"Oh thanks Mrs. Malhotra. I am good." replied Tani politely, looking a bit disinterested in talking with her.
Just then, Mrs. Malhotra chose to look at Nivi. She sneered at her "And who is this middle class girl with you Tani? I assume she must be your PA or something. Dear You must offer poor girl a pay rise. She clearly needs that."
Nivi looked at Mrs. Malhotra in surprise who clearly was in a mood to insult her way of dressing. Just then she heard Tani's sharp reply "Mrs. Malhotra please watch out your words when you speak. She is my friend, not my PA."
"Oh really? Pardon me dear, the way you were dressed I thought you must be working under Tani." She spoke to Nivi, her voice full of malice.
"Apparently It's not necessary for everyone to inherit your sense of dressing, Mrs..." This time Nivi replied, purposely trailing off.
"Malhotra, Soumya Malhotra." The women replied, clearly not looking pleased with Nivi's reply.
"Right. Now excuse me ladies." said Nivi, turning away from Tani and Mrs. Malhotra, heading towards the secluded balcony, clearly missing the angry Viren approaching the two ladies she detached herself from few minutes ago.
Nivi took some deep breaths, trying to shrug off the sadness that was settling inside her after that conversation. No matter how much she tried to ignore, people always made it a point to pass comments at her simple way of dressing. Can't they just shut their mouth?
Suddenly she heard Viren yelling at someone. She turned and quickly stepped inside the party to see Viren, shaking with an unmistakable rage yelling at clearly terrified Mrs. Malhotra
"She is Mrs. Nivedita Viren Sood, Mrs. Malhotra. How dare you insult my wife?"
She saw Tani and Anurag trying to take Viren away from party. A man who clearly looked a bit ashamed stepped forward and spoke "Mr. Viren, I apologize for the way my wife spoke to your wife. She shouldn't have done that."
Viren turned and looked at him, said in a low, cold voice "Mr. Malhotra I came here just because you insisted me to discuss some points about our deals. But clearly you and anyone don't have any right to insult my wife over her way of dressing. She looks simply beautiful like the way she is and I don't need anyone to tell her how to dress up. As a reminder of my talk, I am cancelling all our deals which we ever planned. I don't want to associate my company with yours now."
Viren looked around, spotted Nivi standing few feet away him. He walked towards her, caught her wrist in a tight hold and stormed out of the party, dragging Nivi along with him. Tani and Anurag hurried after them.
Once he was out of party, he left Nivi's hand and paced around trying to control his anger. He took out the keys, gesturing them to sit inside the car. Ignoring what others were saying, he was about to step inside the car when Nivi caught him by his shoulder, turning him towards her.
When Viren turned and looked at her, she just hugged him, rubbing her hand on his stiff back. Viren hugged her back, trying to find solace in her arms.
"It's Okay Viren." Nivi whispered in his ears which made him calm down, while tightening his grip on her.
