The Brides

Sufferings

CHAPTER 12

2 more days later...

'Where the hell is she??' Riddhima sighed and threw her cell phone on the table.
It's been two days, and still there is no news about her.
Neither Sneha nor Gautam are responding her, which is contributing in her tension.
On the other hand, she didn't want to disturb Nidhi, she is already caught up in all the mess with the families. Moreover finally today is The Dinner.
Avinash would have been a choice to ask but currently both Riddhima and him are grabbing all the ways opportunity they can get to ignore each other, after the sensual moment they shared. It's better for them to avoid.
Now nothing else to do here in the office it was unfortunately time to encounter him again, not to mention with all the awkward atmosphere that surrounds them.
'Time to head home in that case.' She thought and left her office.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Don't tempt me to kick your ass, Mr. Mayank Sharma!" Nidhi said with folded arms.

"What am I guilty for Mrs. Nidhi Sharma?" He casually asked.

"You are not helping!" She said with irritation.

"I'm trying to! But it seems that you are really stubborn to accept my suggestions."

"Because it's not much of a help!!"

He sighed and asked. "What do you want me to do? Tell me, simple." He was literally tired now.

"You just need to suggest me a good outfit for the dinner! It's not rocket science!!"

He moved his head in denial. "This is the final time. You will wear whatever I'll chose. Be it anything. Done?"

"Well..."

"Nidhi we have only an hour before we leave."

"What???" She panicked.

"Now.. Will you listen to Mr. Mayank Sharma?" He asked playfully, enjoying her panic.

"Okay!!! Just tell me!!! I'm freaking out!"
She said and was literally sweating.

"Nidhi! Come!" He dragged her inside the room.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Riddhima parked her car in their garage when her phone rang.
She hopefully searched her cell in her bag, wishing for Sneha to call, but frowned when she saw Sonali's caller ID.

"Hi.. what's up?" She cheerfully answered.

"You are a bit consistent. Aren't you?" Sonali asked with all her wit.

"I.. didn't get you?" She asked in a confused tone.

"I want to talk about Sneha."

"Sneha? Where she? Man.. I have been calling her!! She and Gautam were suppose to return--"

"I don't know about that asshole."

"Gautam?" She asked again.
'Why is she calling him that.'

"Don't talk to me about that jerk!" She yelled.

"Okay.. sorry.. sorry.. where is Sneha?"

"At my place."

"Umm.. Is it fine if I'll come there to... you know...talk to her? And you as well??"

After a long pause, Sonali sighed "Okay, I think.... I think she really needs you... both. Can you bring Nidhi as well?"

"Actually, she has gone for a family dinner..." She said apologetically.

"Oh.."

"But I'm on my way. See you in half an hour. Approx. Bye" She said and disconnected the call in hurry.
'Something is insanely seriously and not good.' She got an intuition, and her engine roared to life again.
