Fairy Tale Of A Village Girl

Mr. Pawar picked his cup and looked toward his son and then could not stop from looking at the expression of Eldest Uncle of Akash and Aunt. He took a sip from the cup and laughed and said trying to divert the topic "Son! Even I feel envious of this Akash. He married at such a young age and made his parents and family happy. I also wish to see a daughter-in-law soon."

Wife of Eldest uncle who is oblivious to what is going on the minds of people around her said "It is really a joy to have your own daughter-in-law. Mr. Pawar! I heard your daughter is the girlfriend of my son Arpit. You should have brought your wife along and it would have become a family meeting."

The comment of his wife made the smile of Eldest uncle turn stiff. Mr. Pawar looks toward the woman in front who has been quiet till now and her first sentence felt like a killer move to him. "Either this woman is stupid to not able to read the atmosphere or is too crafty to use the right time to bring up this thing," He thought and then tried to not show his annoyance and smiled and said "Sister-in-law! I will not hide how I think about this. If I take matters in my hand, children might feel forced and may rebel. So, I believe it is good for us to wait for them to be sure of their feelings and then approach us for permission."

Eldest uncle laughed and said "Yes, Yes. Very true Mr. Pawar! We should wait for children to come to us otherwise they will feel pressured." His wife could only suppress her curiosity and next question.

Mahat looked toward the aunt of Akash and then toward other two men trying to understand their intentions. He is a crafty and deceptive person and understands how to use others for his own benefit. From the discussion of these people, he can see their intentions. His father simply does not care. Mr. Patel in his front is trying to bring discussion toward the business plan and his wife simply is ignorant about the thoughts of people present on the table. He guessed things better than everyone else and wanted to dig more about the girl he just set his mind on.

Mahat coughed and then asked Eldest uncle of Akash "I know we are trying to collaborate and will be opening the hotels which will also have a well-managed restaurant within its vicinity. And our plan is to cover three main metropolitan cities with three hotels in each city. I understand if we are to collaborate you might face some resistant in your family and as Akash will be managing Patel family business soon, he might be one of our potential opponents."

Eldest uncle of Akash nodded and said "Yes. That is correct. Akash might not care much but if I will try to pull some funds for this business in the future, he might oppose it."

Mahat smiled and said "And that is why I say we will have to win against him in many aspects like managerial, financial or psychological. I just want to ask you if he has any weakness." At this point, Mahat directed his gaze toward Mrs. Patel and asked: "Ladies have good observation skill and I would love to hear their view."

Eldest aunt of Akash looked toward this boy who is giving her so much attention and felt a bit apprehensive. She thought for a bit and then said "I am not sure if this is his weakness but he listens to his grandfather and grandmother and if they asked him, he can agree to almost anything. He did not wish to marry a village girl but to keep the promise made by his grandparents he finally agreed." She subconsciously looked toward eldest uncle and seeing his gaze filled with warning and she stopped and smiled at Mahat and said "I can"t find anything other than this. He is great at almost everything he does." She added this to correct herself due to her husband"s gaze which earned her another glare from her husband. She simply shut up at this point and lowered her head to take another sip from her tea cup.

Mahat smiled because he has found one more thing about his target. He could use few things to sow discord between husband and wife and break them and then he will have his chance. He then looked toward his father and then the eldest uncle of Akash and said calmly "Relation between husband and wife could be anything but they will always be united for outsiders. But I believe that this girl Varsha could be used as his psychologically weak point. Akash is a proud person so he accepted her as his wife but he must be keeping her at an arm"s length. He can"t give her full rights because he has his own arrogance of a proud person who is forced to accept the decision of others. If we break his pride and arrogance by manipulating their relations by putting some suspicion in it, it will put some psychological pressure on him but also on the old Mr. Patel and Mrs. Patel." Of course, he will get his chance to put himself in the equation somewhere but he will not mention it to these people.

Eldest uncle could not help but feel defeated by his stupid wife for giving the reign of discussion to this playboy. Now he has to go ahead with this. He looked up to the boy in front and then to Mr. Pawar and said hesitatingly "Aren"t these methods too underhanded to execute? Why don"t we go ahead and work fairly?"

Mr. Pawar smiled and said "In the business world there are too many ruthless methods but the methods we are talking about are just some cosmetics applied on the surface. We are not going to do something illegal. If they are true to each other, they won"t be affected by it and we will fail. Let us just say that we are checking if they are truly meant to be. If not then we can get it to work on our advantage. You have to remember that this is the war of youngsters. Let us just do our part and let them manage their own battlefield."

Their discussion continued on different points as well. Mr. Pawar talked about the terms of their contract to be made and made notes of them in his iPad. Due to the inputs of Mahat Pawar, they plan to make use of Varsha against Akash and grandfather because Akash is still discontent about marriage. They wish to widen the gap between them. They thought at some point Varsha will feel angry and discontent and that time they can use her for their own purpose because she is also a big shareholder in Patel family business now.

Mr. Pawar behaved like a professional and although he gave some inputs but he did not show his concerns toward family matters of Patels while his son started showing a sudden interest in handling this project with the eldest uncle of Akash. Mr. Pawar knows his womanizer son and his tendencies but he did not care as long as he gets his a.s.signed work done. Eldest uncle thinks he has caught the interest of both father and son and reason he does not care much because as it is said by ancients "Things will happen which are meant to happen and those which are not will not". Aunt is oblivious to the underlying meaning in the sinister expression of the youth in front and sly men because she is only thinking about the bright future of her sons if her husband succeeds in the future.

After sometime their discussion ended and they left to start working on their plans. Mr. Pawar has to start working on contract and Eldest uncle of Akash has to check the finances on Patel family business and find loopholes to pull out some extra money for his own benefit.
