Chapter 2: keep your family close but your enemy closer.
objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. she peeped her eyes from the side mirror, and with great difficulty she can see a black Suv car was following her from 200 meters. It is not difficult to predict who is keeping an eye on her.
Her father is keeping tabs on her so ensure himself that she is not making any moves against him. Too late she had already started her first move.
Turning quick left, she entered the parking lot of the rose banquet hall where the reception was taking place. She adjusted her white chocker, which she paired with an embedded blue lehenga With a blue off-shoulder crop top which made her hourglass figure shine perfectly, getting out of the car.
She saw a black suv had entered in the parking lot, But they can't enter the hall. they should wait for her until she exist from here 'cause the reception she is attending was her father's arch enemies. The Sharmas and Mehtas were enemies for the last two generations.
The guards allowed her after she shown the invitation card. She got an Invitation from the Bhatia's since her mother and Mrs.Bhatia were great friends but she grabbed it as opportunity to meet Mrs. Dimini Mehta.
"They wouldn't even hesitate to start a war." She shook her head in disbelief. Her marriage with Joshi is to counter attack for Mehtas and his rivals with joining the hands with others to uphold his position in respective worlds.
"Where is he?" Her eyes was searching for the man who is capable to keep her life safe in future, According to her maternal grandfather.
Her gaze fall on the Mrs. Bhatia, she sauntered towards her. She offered her a small smile when Mrs. Bhatia turned towards her. Mrs. Bhatia eyebrows raised upward, creating a horizontal wrinkles on her forehead seeing her. Who in sane mind would attend a reception of her father enemies but except her no one knows who she was.
"It's good to see you. Eesha"She excluded herself from those ladies.
"Could I have a couple of words alone, Aunty" She followed her to the garden area away from people.
"Can you arrange a meeting with Mrs. Dimini Mehta?" Mrs. Bhatia face paled.
"Are you out of your mind, Eesha? If anyone sees you meeting her will cause a big commotion." She tried to keep her tone soft.
"No one knows, who I'm. If you can't arrange I will approach her directly" It's too risky but she had no way. She can't go back without meeting her no matter what.
"What if she refuses to meet you because of your Identity?" Mrs. Bhatia ponders some time before accepting.
"Don't reveal my identity. Just inform her an attorney want to meet her" Mrs. Bhatia nodded her head.
"Till then I will greet the couple." She left from there, walking towards the stage. The stage was decorated with a light purple theme and couple had dressed according to the theme.
Eesha had no knowledge about the bride aspect for the fact Meera Bhatia is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bhatia. A sly smile played on her lips when her eyes fall on the groom Ruhan Mehta the youngest son of Mr. Ashwin Mehta.
" Wishing you a long and happy marriage" she greeted them with an awkward smile while giving a gift to bride. Her awkward smile vanished from her face when her eyes fall on the groom. She pleasterd a fake smile on her face and greeted him.
Beep...Beep...
She unlocked her phone and noticed a message send by Mrs. Bhatia.
[ meet her at the washroom at eleven fifty and be careful.]
[ thank you ] she replied back.
"In couple of minutes it would be eleven fifty."
She peeped at her wrist watch and started to find a washroom to meet Mrs. Mehta.
"It's an honor to meet you. Miss. Eesha" An annoying voice stopped her from taking her another step. "What do you want?" Her response pissed him off but he closed his eyes.
"I never expected a true and honest attorney will attend a." She rolled her eyes.
"Please excuse me." She walked away from there without giving two heads to him.
Once she entered inside the washroom Dimini Mehta was already waiting for her. Dimini Mehta would be near mid-fifty, Her brown saree matched well with her sand skin. Brown eyes, black hair, and around 5 feet 5 inches.
"I'm sorry but I don't quite remember I meet you before." Mrs.Mehta frowned seeing her.
"Well, Mrs.Mehta. We can't recognize a person whom we never Meet before." Eesha clarified her.
"How may I help you?" She questioned her straight forward.
"So, I will come to the point without dragging it much, Mrs. Mehta_ she took a long breath,
I WANT TO MARRY YOUR SON" Mrs. Mehta started to laugh, any sane-minded person will laugh if they were in her place, an unknown woman asking to marry her son in the washroom, who came to attend her nephew's marriage.
"Give one reason, Why should I have to accept it?" She asked
"I have numerous reasons to give, but I hope it is enough for now. Check it out." She handed a phone to see.
Mrs. Mehta hesitated but she took her phone. Every family has a secret, that can tear them apart. Which are best hidden in the dark, too dangerous to reveal to the outside world.Mrs. Mehta eyes moistured watching a video but she blanked her tears be letting them fall.
"Who are you?" she questioned.
"To be honest. I'm daughter of the person who killed your husband."
"Eesha Sharma."
"You're daughter of Adivik Sharma." Eesha nodded her head.
"weren't you going to marry Joshi's son."
"why people are reminding me again and again?" Eesha mumbled and rolled her eyes.
"If this happens, my father will be untouchable again. So think wisely about my proposal before taking a decision." Eesha stated, "what will you gain from this?" Eesha
signed, while peeping at her watch. People will get suspicious.
"All you need to know for now was I will get half of the property and shares if I get married and I will be your greatest asset and aid you to fulfill your hunger for revenge." She had taken a piece of paper from the bag handed her.
"I will be there on Friday morning. I can't contract you before marriage nor I could help you my father is keeping an eye on me." Mrs.Mehta was confused with her
"If you trick me. trust me I will make you marry my son at any cost?" Mrs. Mehta warned her. "Trust me, Mrs. Mehta. I won't disappoint you" She nodded her head standing there in daze.
"Mrs. Mehta "Keep your family close but your enemies closer" Please be casual and please don't reveal my identity until It's comes out" Eesha advised and left the washroom.
"I hope this will be between us Aunty." Mrs.Bhatia gulped her saliva, before nodding. Eesha can't help but warn her before she wants to leave from here.
She started to walk towards exist but her eyes widened seeing two persons walking towards her side. She quickly turned her gaze towards the couple and she bit her lips keeping her hand on her chest.
"What the hell! Why he appear infront of me out of nowhere." She whishperd.
"Why I'm hiding from him like I had robbed something from him." She rised her head and didn't find him there but she found his mother gazing at her.
"Keep your family close but your enemies closer"A sly smile played on her lips replying her maternal grandfather words from yesterday.
