Chapter 59: chapter 59

Two days passed,  neither Kabir nor Nidhi took the initiative to talk to each other..Nidhi was still living in the guest room.. She didn't know when Kabir is coming and going.One day, during dinner  at the dining table, Kabir looked at his mom and said, " Mom I got a call from Nandini's sister , she is coming to India tomorrow.. She  said she is missing Avani and  wants to spend some time with her , so arrange a room for her, she will be staying in our house for a few days..Kabir's mom nodded and agreed and Nidhi didn't give much thought to it.. Her state of mind was not in a position to receive guests.. So she ignored Kabir and got busy with her own work..Next day, Kabir came home along with a tall girl in early twenties.. she looked beautiful with her white and delicate skin..she spoke Hindi   but there was western accent in it..Kabir introduced  her  as  Isha to everyone...Nidhi guessed she is Nandini's younger sister..She didn't get a positive vibe from her so she just ignored her and walked away..When Nidhi was in the garden in the evening, Isha came to her and said in an arrogant voice," So you are the one who married Kabir after my sister, why did you marry him?? is it for money?? "With a cunning smile on her face, Nidhi replied, " Yes ,do you have any problem with that??""Of course, I do have a problem.. Rate yourself, I will give you  money, take it and get out of Kabir's life..""How much can you afford ??", Nidhi asked calmly..I will give you fifty  Million, I know it's a big amount for a middle class girl like you, but I am generous.. Isha replied with an arrogant smile."fifty   Million, not bad , but  can't you afford more than that??", Nidhi asked with the same arrogance .Looking at the clothes Nidhi was wearing , Isha  thought she was a middle class girl.."Shoot your price??" Isha asked with a smirk""oh!! Thank you so much Isha mam for the offer , but I will  leave Kabir only if you can give me ten times what my father makes in a year.. "A smile appeared on Isha's lips when Nidhi agreed..She thought Nidhi might be  an upper middle class girl, her father's salary might be above average and the 10 times of his annual salary will not exceed 1 billion ,which is ok for her to spend.."But before taking the money, I have a doubt, is the money you are offering is a legal amount.. because after taking it I should not face any legal issues. " Nidhi acted along with her""Don't worry about it ,it's a legal amount, my parents saved enough money before they died.. ""Oh!!  It's fine then. I have another question, Miss Isha, if you don't mind??"Shoot", Isha spoke in an arrogant voice.."Why do you want me to leave Kabir?? Do you want to become his third wife??""Hahahaha, after Kabir  divorces  you I will be his only wife  and I don't care the number and I saw you coming out of the guest room which means Kabir has not accepted  you and me being Nandini's sister he will definitely accept me.."" Then all the best Miss Isha" , Nidhi replied with a smirk and left from there. When Nidhi walked towards the house from the garden a new black Audi  stood in front of her..A man in his fifties got down from the car and said,"Nidhi mam, your father saw you coming in the cab  a few days back, so he ordered this car for you, these are the keys   mam".. Nidhi felt warmth in her heart when she heard about her dad buying a new car for her.. Dad's are always the best.. She took the keys from the man and said " Say thanks to dad on my behalf".. "Sure mam", When the man was about to turn, " Sharma uncle, if you don't mind can you tell me the annual income of dad??" Nidhi asked, knowing Isha is behind her.."Of course beta, it's around 140 Billion per year.. and this year we made good business so we can expect even greater numbers."Isha stood rooted and was in a shock when she heard   the man.."Thank you uncle. Nidhi replied with a smile and turned towards Isha and said  in a very casual tone , " Did you hear that??that's my dad's income per year and I am his only daughter.. so you calculate 10 times of it,arrange the money and let me know, I will.sign the divorce papers right away.."Isha was dumbfounded when she heard the number , she can't even count the number of zeros that Nidhi asked for..It was an impossible amount for her, even though her family was rich but the amount the Nidhi asked for was something out of reach for her..Isha always had eyes on Kabir when Nandini was alive.. She even felt jealous of her own sister for finding such a good man for herself..and the moment Nandini died, she decided to marry Kabir playing the sympathy card of Her sister's daughter..She thought she would complete her exams and come back to India and get hitched with Kabir..But all her dreams scattered when Kabir's second marriage news reached her ears. She thought, if a girl has married a widower she must belong to a poor family  and after looking  at Nidhi 's simple lifestyle and her simple dressing sense she confirmed Nidhi belongs to a middle class family..So she decided to pressurise her with money. If she can marry Kabir she will become the heiress of his property anyways ,there is nothing she can lose.She doesn't care if she will be a third wife or Fourth wife.. She wanted name and fame.. Nidhi is a girl who likes to live a simple life, she never flaunts her wealth in front of anyone..For the first time in her life she did it..She never piques anyone but if somebody tries to bully her she will not let go easily..Isha stomped her feet and walked inside the house, her plan failed.  She had high hopes for it..She became restless and started giving work to her evil brain.Next day when Kabir's mom was resting inside her room, Isha knocked the door..Seeing it was Isha , Kabir's mom invited her with a smile.."Aunty, you look very dull, why do you cook all the food by yourself?? Why don't you appoint a chef??"Kabir's mom smiled and said, " Kabir and his dad like the food I prepare and this is the only thing I can do for them, for the rest of the work we have maids.. so don't worry Isha, I am fine with it"."Ok ok, but I think at least Nidhi should help you. I saw her leaving early after breakfast and coming late when it's dinner time.. You should have trained her aunty.. But it's fine I can help you from tomorrow in the kitchen.."Kabir's mom understood Isha's intentions of creating a rift between her and Nidhi.. She gave a  smile and said,``Don't worry about my family issues Beta, I am well versed to take care ,you are a guest and in India we don't allow guests to work.. So you just enjoy the time with Avani.. I heard Kabir saying you missed Avani and that is why you came back to India, don't you think you should spend some quality time with her, go enjoy your time"Isha smiled awkwardly and left the room cursing Kabir's mom for her crisp response..
