Later in the evening, Priyanka invited Purab over.
"Are you nuts? What do you mean by you're pregnant?"
"Purab, mom and dad already approved."
"I don't care if mom and dad approved it or not." He snapped. She knew this was going to be his reaction when he shows up. "Carrying the heir of that ostrich is not what I supposed to hear from you, Priyanka. I thought you were smart like me."
She rolled her eyes and sip her orange juice quietly. She don't want to be a nerdy like him or wear glasses like him and her father either. "There's nothing I can do about it, Purab. Am carrying the first grandbaby of both families – or maybe the second because Max has a son now. Am not going for an abortion."
"You failed me, sis." He let out a frustrated sigh and massage his temple. "That guy is a player, a typical one."
"He is not a player anymore, Justin is different, he has changed."
"Stop defending him." He clapped his hands over her face like he caught a fly in his palms. His teeth gritted. "You know I don't like that guy, you collided with me to make him suffer and at the end of it all, you went and spread your legs for him. Number one point for an irresponsible woman."
"My fiancée is very responsible, Mr. Abhishek. Maybe it's you who need a therapist." Justin entered the patios and sat next to Priyanka with one of his arm around her shoulders and his eyes darting at Purab.
Purab adjusted his glasses and narrowed his eyes at him, "My sister is young and stupid. Since the time you started chasing after her when she was still in college, I warned her about you. I told her you're not a good match for her. But you didn't stop. Now that she's out of college, you took the opportunity to plant your seed in her womb. You're a madman."
Justin was fuming but he didn't want to lose it. He tries to stay calm and tolerate all Purab's insults. Priyanka knew there was a bad Aura around him. She rubbed the back of his hand just to calm him down.
After a while, Justin scoffed and said, "I know you don't like me, Purab, and I don't need you to like me. You called me a madman, well that's nice. But it won't be bad for you to have a madman as a brother in-law soon, what do you say, pal?"
The anger running down Purab's veins increased. His face turned red that he couldn't control himself any longer. He grabbed the glass of juice on the table and splash the whole content on Justin.
"Ah!" Priyanka jolted and quickly held Justin's arm. She was afraid he might do something stupid, of course she knew Justin could beat her brother but she doesn't call for a fight. She passed Justin a napkin. Although, she never knew that Justin was not in the mood to deal with her brother. He was never going to fight Purab because…..
"Thank your stars am trying to be a responsible man for the sake of my unborn child. If you had tried this in the past, I would have turned you into a piece of coconut."
Purab won't stay here and receive more insults. He got up and faced his little sister. "Aap ek jaanavar se shaadee kar rahe hain. [You are getting married to an animal.]"
After Purab left, Priyanka felt worried for Justin. She examined his face and ruined white t-shirt. "Am so sorry, my brother is a troublemaker sometimes."
"No, he's not." Justin chuckled as he wipes his t-shirt. "He is my future brother in-law." He toss the napkin away and carried Priyanka to sit on his lap. "Wow, what an heavy weight you got there."
She trail her fingers through his hair, "Am double now, Justin. Am growing wide every minute of the day."
"Ah, are you?" He faked a gasp. "How about you teach me how to grow wide everyday."
She squealed in shock when he carried her into his arms and head out for the main mansion. "Where the fuck are you taking me?"
"To our room, for a cuddle. The weather is cold and cozy."
"Put me down, I know what you're up to. It's not just a cuddle."
He gasp again, "Is it not? Then tell me what it is."
"You know it yourself, I can't tell you but what I'll tell you is this." She whisper something into his ears. "Don't exhaust me."
...…
At 7pm, Mitali walked out of the tall glassy building, holding her purse in one hand while scrolling her phone on the other. She wants to call her chauffeur to come pick her but his line is not reachable so she's booking an uber.
Just as she was about to get to the nearest bus stop sign, someone called her, "Mitali."
She turned around to the direction where the voice was coming. There she saw a white man standing next to a red Tesla car in the darkness of the night. She doesn't recognize this guy and he was smiling and waving at her like an innocent soul.
She kept her phone in her purse and approached him. "Hello, do I know you?"
He took a step towards her and stood like a gentleman. "I assume you don't remember me."
She didn't give him time to prolong. "Sorry, I just remembered that my sister was going to send me a package, I need to call her –"
"I am the package." He said and she looked at him with a quizzical expression, "Sorry?" He could have repeated his previous statement again but he ignored her misunderstanding and said, "I am Brimsley Bridgestone. We met at my father's birthday party in –"
"Paris." She click her fingers when she remembered.
He nodded, "Yes, you remember me now."
"Yes I remember you with the English accent." She flushed and looked away.
She was going to ask her sister, Priyanka if he had the guys contact but she felt it would be so awkward of her to ask for a man's detail. It is supposed to be the other way round. But here he is. One of her wish has just been answered for the first time in her lifetime.
"So," He broke the silent. His both hands inside his front pockets. "Where are you going now?"
She felt her ghost squealing in excitement inside her when he asked her a question. Her belly giddy as her cheeks turned super red from too many flushes. "Um, I was on my way home. You?"
He paused for a while as he studies her face with a smile on his lips. "I like your Hindu accent." When she blushed hard, he chuckled softly. Even in the darkness, she looks like light to him. "How about we go out for dinner. My treat, please don't refuse."
Mitali was never going to refuse his offer. In fact, she wished in her heart few seconds ago that he'd ask her out and he just did. Damn, this guy was her destiny.
Being too shy, she tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and asked him again, "You want to take me out for dinner?"
"Us." He corrected. Mitali's belly giddy again. Her sister surely knew what type of packages she liked. His voice, his tone and everything about him was pleasing her.
"Sure." She agreed.
He opened the passenger's door for her like a queen and boarded off.
A week after, Justin and Priyanka wedded – a wild sophisticated and breathtaking wedding in an Indian grand style, despite the chaos between Justin and Purab. Purab rest his case when he saw that his sister was happy with the guy. Especially when he bumped into them making love five minutes before the wedding started at her dressing room. He is only after his sister's happiness. He warned Justin to take good care of his sister and that was how they settled their manly issues. It was amazing that in some months interval, she delivered quadruplets into the family. Two boys and two girls, namely: Sammy, Seymour, Sugar and Sweet.
*************
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time. Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together. Love alone can rekindle life. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
