Chapter 30: chapter 30

     Upra was waiting in a clinic with her face covered. Jagdeesh calls out next, and Upra unbuttons her first two buttons of her kurti and walks in. Jagdeesh eye catches the unbuttoned area, and looking at his eyes. She could say she is half way to success. Upra " hello sir good morning". Jagdeesh greets her in turn wearing a gentleman look. So you're name Miss and by the way, you can take off that scarf, so that you're face is visible. His tone wasn't flirtatious but his eyes was. Upra takes of the scarf and get closer to him and says Sir. Am Upra Tagore, 20 years old. Jagdeesh write down her name in the prescription and she wait for him until and then he take a look at her. Jagdeesh " so you have breakouts here, here and ... As he says he keep tracing her face with his finger, and Upra responds to him by closing her eyes. Jagdeesh finds it amusing and stand behind her and take a look at the unbuttoned area of her body. Immediately he gains his composure and asks is this breakouts fresh? Upra " yes, sir". I used this cream and then it happened she says with a crying tone. Jagdeesh gets the cream and check for the expiry date and he shows her it's an expired one. Upra clicks her tongue and gives a sheepish laugh at him. Jagdeesh laughs at her. They both have a talk for a while although there are patients waiting. He gets to know that she is a medical student and he exchange his number with her. Telling her to call whenever she feels the pain. Upra thanks him and leaves. Jagdeesh is all excited and he even gives her free treatment and medicine.    In the Mehta Mansion Kajal and Shikha keeps supervising the food. Rhea lounged on the couch, eyes glued to the screen as explosions and gunfire lit up the room. The action movie blared at full volume, the surround sound making every crash and punch feel like it was happening inside the house. She laughed and tossed another handful of popcorn into her mouth, completely absorbed.Upstairs, Amar sat hunched over a desk cluttered with patient files, eyes scanning reports with clinical focus. But his concentration kept breaking—the booming soundtrack downstairs growing louder, more relentless. He sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and finally pushed his chair back in quiet frustration.Footsteps echoed down the staircase.Rhea’s ears perked up. She quickly glanced toward the stairs and caught sight of Amar’s figure descending. Panic flashed in her eyes. Without a second thought, she grabbed the bowl of popcorn, fumbled for the remote, switched off the TV, and bolted into the kitchen like a guilty teenager caught skipping homework.Amar reached the now-silent living room, raising an eyebrow at the suspiciously quick retreat. He then gets back to his room.     Meanwhile Rhea enters the kitchen and sit with her popcorn and keep chatting with the maid. Kajal" Rhea Adi uncle and Smitha aunty arrived". What? Daddy came huh... Rhea immediately ran out with her popcorn and failed to see Ram coming on the opposite direction. She hits Ram and the there was a loud thud, Rhea’s hand jerked upward, sending the bowl of popcorn flying into the air. Kernels scattered like confetti. At that very moment, Amar was descending the stairs — just in time to see the popcorn rain down in a chaotic burst, a few kernels bouncing off his shoulders and landing on the steps around him. Amar was about to stare at her, on noticing  Adi and Smitha he didn't express his annoyance and stayed quite. Adi" Rhea you should be careful, why are you running???, when, we are going to just have a seat and not running just like that without taking you".  Rhea gave a sheepish grin and scratches her head, uncle are you okay? Ram didn't bother and says no issues dear. Sorry uncle, Rhea apologize and the family sit for dinner. As they waited for this moment. It's then Rhea says I have called my friends too, am sorry Rhea asks for forgiveness. Smitha frowns and says " Rhea you can't do this, what if they made the meal just for us? How can they make the extra portion in no matters of time?". Rhea" mummy I said Simar aunty already ( Simar is head cook of Mehta). Shikha and Ram felt proud of Rhea, that she had already started to get into the family. Rhea continues Aunty and Didi only said I can do anything and I have the rights to do everything in this home. Amar listen to all her non sense talk and in his mind he says, you can do anything and everything but not with Amar Mehta and not in Amar Mehta's life. Let's see how long his stubborness is going to grow.... AS the food is served, Rahul and Rithesh enters and directly find seat next to Rhea. Rhea was so excited that she is having food with all her favourite people except one person. Rhea keeps beaming throughout the food and the trio keeps shifting items from one plate to another and the dinning table was quite chaotic along with giggles. All the elders admired their togetherness except one pair of eyes. It's then Smitha notices and asks Amar where is your engagement ring? looking at the empty finger. The entire dinning table falls silent in an instant. Will Amar reveal the truth or will he keeps it to himself, let me know in the comment section. Upra's Revenge.... Â
