Upon watching that couple stealing the show. Monika's full body burned in the fire. How embarrassing suddenly the whole event became for her, she can't even explain it.
She felt a piercing gaze upon her from everywhere. They must be talking about her unsuccessful marriage, must be thinking about god knows what. She was going to act like she didn't care like always, but it does hurt her. Not her heart but her head was definitely hurt with tones of invisible bricks that were falling from above.
"Let's go, " Prithvi called her.
Monika forced herself to move forward with the event and danced with Mr Prithvi.
The thought of Utkarsh bid for Tina kept nudging her consciousness. Jealousy, hatred, and insult was making her emotions go high.
The event place was big so it was bearable for her to avoid without seeing them in her eyesight.
She danced with Prithvi on the tunes upon which she was hardly paying any attention to. Oh her head was hurting.
" Is it too hard to dance with me? "
Prithvi asked seeking her attention and Monika woke up from her wandering mind.
" Han? No, No, " she embarrassed herself.
" Then what is it? my face is so ugly that you can't even take a look upon it" his words came out harshly and she looked at his face. He looked quite handsome to be called ugly.
" What! No. Sorry, If I offended you anyhow " she apologised.
" Nah, it's OK. I just did charity to dance with a real lady, not with a robot actually "
Monika didn't know how to respond to his sarcasm and just smiled and looked in his eyes to hide the embarrassment of dancing with him.
Prithvi had his eye on her from so long like he always had eyes for new beauties in the film industry. Now his target was Monika, Earlier he thought it was going to be easy thinking that Avantika was under his thumb by supplying her craving for drugs. But she got away, rejecting his proposal.
'My daughter is not for sale 'he reminded Avantika's words. Everything in this world is meant to sell. Look just now he buyed a dance with the daughter. He laughed in his mind.
Monika found him continuously looking into her eyes in an intimidating way that she had to blink frequently to break the eye contact.
She needed to be tamed, he thought. Despite his thoughts he danced like a gentleman like how people knew about him but not how he really was.
Just knowing where her real attention was he just needed to go there and get her all the attention back on him.
" I heard from someone that your husband is here and he bid for your sister. "
He asked not to sound like offending her but it did offend her.
" Yeah, you are asking like you don't know about the trending controversial bride. " She answered dryly and hoped like last time he was not tricking her as one of Utkarsh's friends did.
As she wants that charity event did not seem to be ending so soon with their never-ending playlist. After a minute of silence, he looked in the crowd and asked her again
" Do you want to exchange partners? "
" No, I am fine with you. But if you want it's OK "
He laughed at her answer then asked her again.
" No I mean, You guys are into that business of exchanging partners?" He winked at her. He likes to offend people for his fun.
Not getting him she looked at him strangely
" I mean your sister dancing with your husband. Exchange that kind of eyes like they are going to do ding dong after the party."
Monika gritted her teeth. She Want to keep her mouth shut. But he continued.
"What about you? There are rumours that many rich people attend this kind of party as an excuse to exchange with suitable partners. "
For that Monika wants to punch him right under the nose. That was just a boost to her temper goes higher. She bawled her fist and looked at him angrily.
" from which disgusting society you belong to? "
" same as yours" he smirked, that's just the beginning.
She stopped dancing and refused to turn for the next dance step.
"Hey, don't ruin the dancing for the silly things I said"
"If you are that much silly then grow up kid "
He literally laughed at her
" I am sorry OK, let's continue "
" fuck off "
Monika jerked his hand away and walked out of the ballroom nearly knocking Utkarsh and Tina pair in her way.
Prithvi didn't think that she was just going to walk away. He was going to follow her but he stopped when he saw Utkarsh followed her outside and Tina also followed him.
" what happened? Did he say something to you? " Utkarsh asked as if he was worried for her.
" Shameless, both of you are so shameless. Go get a room, if you two are that much desperate for each other. You question about my character, my mother's character and when that day will come when you see yourself in the mirror"
"What is wrong with you? "
Utkarsh asked in confusion when he saw her fuming in anger. Sabrina also came out to find Monika.
" Mam, are you alright? " Sabrina asked her in worry.
"she is not alright! I know she is just being jealous because I got the highest bid. So she is just trying to pick up a fight with me" Tina said, mocking her. Monika sided Sabrina and faced Tina.
" You can never fight back me Tina. That's why you choose this kind of dirty and cheap trick. This is what you are. Always need support " Monika was waiting for this day to come to say so many things to her, to confront her, to give her all the insults which she was facing, to make her vulnerable, to see her crying for satisfaction, to see her defeated. Till now she was pitiful. Now she will make this Tina taste her own medicine.
" support? oh, we all know how your mother begged to get a film for you. Plus I don't do cheap films like you do " Tina and Monika argument started heating up.
" I am talking about your cheap personality, Tina. You are good for nothing bitch. Always jealous of me. Looking for sympathy every time. You have everything but still, you blame me. You go cry in front of daddy each time when you find yourself unable to do it::::"
"I am better than you Monika. You are just jealous of my success. "
" What success are you talking about? Monika's husband fucking her sister. How do you see this? "
" How dare you? "
" You did all this. "
Sabrina was standing mute didn't know how to stop them from fighting. So Utkarsh grabbed Monika's arm suddenly and dragged her with him towards her car. Seeing no one was backing away and before their voices started gaining the attention they needed to get separated.
" I don't think I can tolerate you more than this, Sabrina take your mam away from here," he said to her when they reached near her car.
"I also can't tolerate cheaters like you" Monika eyed Tina from a far away distance.
"Mam" Sabrina tried to calm her down but was useless.
"Alright, get inside " Utkarsh opened the car door for her.
" YOU ARE A B*TCH TINA" Monika screamed aloud and Sabrina pulled Monika inside the car ending on that note.
On that comment, Tina walked fast towards her in fury.
Utkarsh looked at Monika.
"OK, you need to stop this Monika, stop insulting Tina, Say it to me whatever you want to say. "
" Get aside Utkarsh, this bitch needs to know who the real bitch is " Till then Tina reached near to them.
" Tina " Utkarsh tried to block her way but she was not in a mood of losing the fight so easily.
" Utkarsh, let me show this bitch the mirror which she needs to look at. Just look at your mother then... then you will see yourself. You are looking for Utkarsh attention, like your mother is looking for my dad to sympathise with her, causing my parents to quarrel about it. "
" Then tell your father for being stupid "
" both of you are stupid if you think my father going to pay her hospital bills "
" Oh in that case no need to worry his father is happily taking care of the bills " She pointed at Utkarsh dragging him in the conversation.
" what a charming lady your mother is "
" yes she is and all the men are stupid "
" Stupid like you who marry to make a living "
She was right there.
" No I married to him to show that you are stupid. And you proved it. I am still holding my head high and you are the bitch looking to get fucked by him "
" like you get fucked by that old man? "
That made Monika go silent." What happened now? " Tina smirked in victory.
" You bitch " Monika screamed and tried to push Sabrina's hand away from her.
" Well you are actually a bitch who Lost her virginity to a old man who you seduced ,:::"
In fury, Monika opened the door when Sabrina loosened her hold. Right on her Monika slapped Tina hard across the face and grabbed her hair pulling it harshly.
"Say it again and I cut you alive "Monika was seeing the red and if Utkarsh didn't come for Tina's rescue then God saved Tina from Monika's wrath.
He somehow removed Monika's tight grip from her hair and made them apart. Tina started crying and ran inside.
Monika was going to follow her but Utkarsh held her from the waist. She scratched her nails on his arms. Feeling the pain he let her go.
" calm the fuck down." he snapped angrily.
With strength, Monika slapped him also. Taking an angry breath she sat down inside the car angrily.
With gritted teeth Utkarsh watched her car drive away.
