Chapter 68: Chapter 68
Riya's POV
" So can you do household work?? " Dado sa asked.
" Ji! "
" Can you cook?? "
" Ji! "
" She cooks like mom and makes sure that I eat home-cooked food. I love everything she cooks. " Parth added.
" Wow!! Will you make something for me as well?? " Dado sa asked.
" Ji!! "
" Hey, sweet girl, say something other than Ji. I am not going to shout at you. "
" Ji! "
" It's ok Dado sa, she is very nervous. Once she starts speaking, it is difficult to make her stop. Give her some time and then you would have to wait for your turn to speak. " Parth said.
" Is it?? Well, I have been waiting for someone for years who would do that. I have been all alone, since that terrible accident that robbed us of our family. Though I am surrounded by all the people, would love to have someone talking to me endlessly." He said, his eyes were dry but mine got wet as I could feel the pain these two men shared. A tear rolled down my cheek.
" Awww... Come here, my child." He said. I went to him, he embraced me.
" Don't feel bad, I didn't want to make you feel sad. It's just that ... I got emotional. See, I may allow you to marry provided you promise a few things. "
" Ji?? " I said and he smiled.
" Are you still nervous?? "
" N..no!! " She said.
" Thank God, she said something other than Ji. Ok, shall I tell you my conditions...? " He asked, I was too nervous to say anything so I just nodded.
" First condition, I want you to call me Dado sa! The second one, You need to prepare something for me to eat. Will you?? " He asked. I smiled and nodded readily.
" Good girl!! Now my next set of conditions is for both of you. Ready? " He asked. I nodded.
" Aren't you are getting very demanding, old man?" Parth asked.
" Because, it's not every day, I get a chance to make you do, what I want. Ready? " He looked at both Parth and me.
" Ok!! " We nodded.
" I want you to come back here to Bikaner, I don't want to die alone, waiting for you... If you want, I will make a multi-speciality hospital here in Bikaner in memory of our family. It would be even bigger than the one you are working at. What do you say?? " He asked looking at us with anticipation.
" Dado sa, but she wants to study ahead. There is no medical college, here. " Parth said.
" Oh, that is perfectly alright, we will get the hospital ready by the time, she can study further. Is that ok?? " He asked. Parth looked at me and I nodded. He smiled and nodded.
" My next condition... I need lots and lots of great-grandchildren. Will you agree to give me this wish?? " He asked looking at us and all of a sudden. I felt very shy, my face became very hot. I looked downwards.
" I agree to it, there is no problem with that. Meet her parents, fix a date and get us married as soon as possible. We will get to the work to fulfil your this demand immediately. Right, Riya?? " Parth said immediately, grinning like a fool. I glared at him while my face was turning red with every passing second.
" Riya does not seem to agree on this point. " Dado sa said with a smile making him look very young and handsome like Parth.
" Come on, Riya, say something!! Say that we will." Parth said. But I could not say such a thing.
" You don't like kids, Riya? " Dado sa asked.
" I like them. " I said with difficulty as it was weird.
" Then you agree to have lots of kids? " Parth asked with a grin. I wanted to kill him.
" Just two!! "
" No!! Two are not lots and lots. We need to fulfil his demand. " Parth said.
"Will you please, Shut up? " I glared at him but he was enjoying.
" Ok, six!! " Parth said.
" I don't want to get married to him Dado sa!! " I said.
" What?? How can you do that? I love you... Ok, four? " He asked and I raised my eyebrow at him.
" Fine!! At least, three? Come on, Don't be a spoilsport! Even I want lots of kids. Say yes!! " He said holding my shoulders.
Oh, God!!!
" Dado sa?? Tell him to shut up!! He is so shameless... "
" Yes, now you recognised him well. Hush... Thank God!! I was worried when you said only good things about him. " He said and laughed.
" I am shameless??" He asked me in a lower voice coming closer to me.
" Yes!! Who talks like this in front of his family. I was feeling so shy... "
" You wait, I will tell you later on... How shameless can I be?? " He came very close to me and whispered in my ear. I almost shuddered at his subtle warning.
" Ok, Dado sa, I asked her, she agreed. Now please fix the wedding as soon as possible, see, we have to do lots of work to fulfil your demand. " He said placing his arm around me. I palmed my face. He was too much.
I was not even able to look at anyone of them, I pushed him away. . Suddenly I heard a peal of loud laughter. Dado sa was laughing aloud. He came near me and embraced me. Then he asked Parth to come as well.
" God bless you, my children, I am very happy to hear that my Parth is in love and wants to get married to you. Now we would have a family again! " He kissed our heads and gave his blessings. We chatted for some more time and then the lunch was served. We enjoyed it and he asked me about my family. I told him everything.
I called my parents to ask, at what time would they reach here? He told me that it would take at least two more hours.
Dado sa told us to rest for a while or take a round of the palace or hotel if I wanted. I nodded. The man who welcomed us in the house earlier came in as Dado sa had called him in. We both came out and Parth took my arm and pulled me with him.
" Come, I want you to show around and share my memories with you. " I nodded with a smile.
He showed me the wall where they had pictures of him as well as all his family members. He got emotional to see them but I changed his mood by saying that he looked very cute and handsome even as a child, he smiled instantly.
" I was... See, we are going to have very good looking kids. So we must have lots of lots of them. " He said and I rolled my eyes.
" Don't start again... You are too shameless. For God's sake, he was also there. " I said.
" Oh, yes!! You said to him that I am shameless, let's just see how shameless I can be... " He said looking at me with desired fill eyes.
" No!! Get lost! " I said and pushed on his chest. He smiled and gave me a tour around the palace, he told me little stories associated with all the places especially the ones to which he was attached.
Then he took me to his room. It was almost as big as the presidential suite. But now I was not surprised as I knew his real identity now. I would have never guessed it if he had not told me.
I saw his pictures, trophies etc. He pulled me in his arms and captured my lower lip between his and sucked it sensuously. I got carried away and kissed him back.
