Chapter 34: chapter 34

        Rhea sits quitly upon her bed after getting ready. She is lost in thoughts " I'll get you dress that covers you from top to toe. Shameless". All Amar's scorn keeps flashing in her mind one after the other. She remembers how he called her irresponsible on their first meet, despite of being an accident. He then said her brainless. Tears escapes her eyes and she sits wiping out. It's her result day and she aced it up. All the people around her are happy but as of her she is completely broken that she doesn't have any idea of what the future holds for her. Okay Rhea you're going to be alright.  Come on let's go wait down. She keeps cheering herself and gets down. Shikha and Kajal was already waiting for her. Rhea was dressed in a knee length black skirt and matched it with a purple tee, tucked in neatly. Her straight black hair cascading till her bust line is let free. She matched it up with a diamond stud and black sneakers. Her face lacked makeup except for the pink lipstick. Shikha asked her to come towards her. As Rhea kept walking, All of the sudden Amar got in adjusting his ruffling hair. Both gets hit and Amar holds her through her waist. Lost is each eyes for a while, Kajal use this opportunity to click a picture. Whereas Shikah and Smitha turns aside feeling shy slightly.     Kajal clears her throat and Amar steadies her. Rhea adjust her hair quickly and walks towards Shikha and sit next to her. Amar sit on the other side of Shikha. Kajal keeps poking at Rhea. Rhea bowed down fearing Amar's reaction. Shikha " Amar how long will you get to come here?". Mom Had an important meeting which held me for a while. And am already here mom, he didn't talk further which means he wants shikha to stop bothering him from asking further. Amar didn't want to say where he went Because if he said where he went? Whom he met? Then he wants to reveal all the conversation he had with Ram and Adi. Thereby he kept it as a hidden secret, from his mom and sis.     Smitha felt weird that he didn't even congratulate Rhea. But he talked very well on the day of engagement with her. Something kick started within her which kept bothering. She observes Rhea's face, which was pale. Even before she wants to stop Rhea from going with Amar, Kajal brings up the topic. Amar it's getting late take Rhea and buy her what she asks and what you want to buy for her in a playful tone. Amar stands up and starts walking towards the doorway after saying to all the three ladies and Rhea hesitate to go with him. Watching her still not moving, Kajal drags Rhea to the door way. Except Smitha no one sensed her discomfort and she kept looking back at her mother. Smitha felt her heart tighten, without any reason.        Amar ignites the car and Rhea tries to get into the rear seat. Even before Kajal halts Rhea from getting to the back seat, Amar calls out and asks with disgust am I your driver? Rhea gets in to the front seat and gives a slight smile and waves at Kajal, Smitha and Shikha who were standing at some distance. The car leaves out of the Tanwar Mansion and the drive to the street market went for around 40 mins. Throughout the drive the car atmosphere was pin drop silence. None of them talked and they didn't bother to make an attempt to talk.  neither of them...   Amar pulled off the car and asked Rhea to get down. There was hesitation all over her place and she asked him, "here". Pointing at the location. Amar didn't say a word and just nods his head. Rhea gets down and the car moved away. She isn't used to the crowd and the street market was buzzing with people wandering here and there. The smell of chats wandering in the air. Rhea was standing in panic wrapped in silence. All of the sudden a big warm hand caught her sweaty palm, Which made her to Jolt. Amar looks at her frightened face and holds her hands firmly. He takes her in to the crowd and she holds his arms in fear. Not used to this? He asks . Rhea says no nodding her head. Her voice was like a squeaky. Amar keeps walking forward holding Rhea's hand. Rhea fear gradually fades away when she see the colourful bangles, dupattas and some handcrafted items with shells and feathers. Amar mobile keeps ringing, as he walk. he picks up the call, without seeing the caller. Hello... He shouts in the crowd. Amar it's Upra... I can't hear you, who is it? Can you make it louder? Amar... It's me Upra. This time she makes it sound louder that it reaches him. Amar halts walking and Rhea who was walking watching the kiosk and side walk stalls bumps into Amar's back. He turn and give a sharp look, Rhea apologize him. Unbothered he keeps the phone pressed to his ears. Amar I... I... Want to see you now. Amar panicks thinking Upra is in pain, aftermath of the surgery and leaves Rhea hand and runs towards the parking. Rhea was clueless of his reaction and it took a couple of minutes for her to realise that he left her just like that in the middle of the crowd. She didn't even know in which direction to move as the crowd was getting heavier. Her eyes was watery. Rhea you can't breakdown for this. Your Aditya's daughter. Come on keep moving in the same direction and just stop when you find some space. She keeps talking to herself to beat the fear. Finally she comes to a spot where the place is crowd free.Upra's Revenge...
