The Unwanted Princess

part-18

Haaye, tooti saari ki saari main
Tere ishq mein hui Awari main
Haaye, tooti saari ki saari main
Tere ishq mein hui Awari main..

She knew something was wrong the moment her eyes glanced at his storming orbs, the serenity of those lotus eyes has disappeared somewhere and she wanted them back in his gaze. She knew this wasn't about the match. The match doesn't ever trouble him like this and she wanted to soothe out whatever was troubling him, take away all his worries and see light shine in his eyes.

"hey" his voice was gruff and tense and she didn't like the worry lines gracing his face

"hey, what's wrong??" she questioned him not liking the way his eyes were looking too hollow 

"nothing....just need to see you"

"Vi....stop, I know something is wrong. So, tell me what's wrong"

"promise you won't freak out"

"Like you're freaking out?"

"I'm not freaking out"

"Yeah, that's why your face looks like you've just encountered an ghost"

"Something like that"

"You know you're just fueling my curiosity right"

"According to someone, I've an apparent baby somewhere and If I didn't fulfill their demands tomorrow the whole world will know this fact" She stared at him unblinking, trying to force her heart to not squeeze itself out of her ribcage, trying to let her mind work in this situation rather than her heart. She needs to be the calm and shrewd one, need to protect his image and stop any scandal

"who's this someone??" she asked him figuring out how to settle this matter and how much money she would need to pay to settle this matter even when her heart wanted to ask him is this true???

" Jasmine" he uttered the name with so much disdain as everything cleared up in her mind, her heart took a breath of relief and mind worked on double speed trying to figure out something to pacify the situation. she knew this claim could ruin absolutely everything and knew why he looked like he had seen a ghost cause the situation was like someone was asking him whether he will like to jump off a crashing aeroplane without a parachute or a ruined parachute? and she could just utter "oh" like an idiot

"does bhai know?"

"bhabi is pregnant yrr and if the news leaked she won't even a million years fall for the I impregnated her bullshit"

"I know that buddy, I know that and what is the integrity of the whole situation. She could be lying for all we know and bhai wasn't in India for more than a year"

"And the baby is 6 months old"

"shit"

"I know"

"what are her demands"

"first we took the baby from her and give her about 1 crore rupees for her silence"

"Tell me she is kidding? Vi take the babe, 1 cr. like how will we hide the whole matter is beyond me. Where the hell is she to begin with and when did she contact you???" Anya questioned him the whole situation getting on her nerves, did god has decided she won't be in peace today...she could already feel a headache coming thinking about the mess that will surely be created if the matter somehow leaks, both professional and personal mess.
