"Oh my G.o.d. That old man will kill me with his choice. I not going to marry the girl, whom my grandfather would choose. I"ll try to find my soulmate myself. Let me have a look around.""Take your time. I am going to attend the guest. You just call me if you get someone of your choice." John said and left.
Henry started to look for the beautiful girls present at the party. His eyes stopped on a girl. Henry observed the girl for a long time and signalled John. John was very happy for his friend. He excused himself and came near Henry.
"It"s too early. You have chosen in a very short time. Now show me the girl so that I can speak with her parents. "
"That girl is such a beauty that it takes no time to attract towards her."Henry smiled and pointed towards a girl. He was sure that John would be happy for him. But when he showed her, Henry felt the temperature of the room decreased suddenly. John said nothing and left the place. Henry was confused. He followed John and reached near him. John was sitting alone near the liquor counter of the hall.
"John, what happened? Why did you leave me like that? Have I said something which hurt you? And what about the girl? Do you know her or her parents? I can send my grandpa to speak to them."
"Dare you to say one more word about her," John said angrily.
"Why? What happened? " Henry was more confused now.
"She is my wife."
"What? What did you say just now? Will you please repeat it again."
"She is my wife Zinu."Henry"s eyes widen in shock. He couldn"t speak anything for some time. It took time to digest the news.
" Why are you telling me this now? Have you ever thought me as your friend? I never expect this from you. I am leaving. You don"t deserve to be my friend." Henry said angrily.
John looked at Henry. He got up and ready. to go, but stopped by John.
"I am sorry."
"Oh, now you are sorry. But for what? To hide everything from me? Or breaking the friends.h.i.+p?"
"Henry! Don"t be angry. I should have told you."
Henry sat down near him."Tell me."
"What?" John asked with a confused voice.
"Tell me about sister -in -law." Henry said with a curious voice."Now I understand, why you always avoided girls during high school or college. You always searched for someone with high standards like your wife. She is so beautiful! She is not like other girls. I observed her for almost one hour. She is a perfect match with you.Congratulations."
"Thank you. And yes. She is different from the other girls. I love her."
John told Henry everything. Henry shocked.
"You ...you mean you have a real son? That"s too so much big? Oh my G.o.d, John! You are a genius. Hats off you."
John smiled. He knew Henry would take time to digest everything.
"Ok. Now you don"t dare to look at my women. You can choose anyone else from the crowd." John said proudly. Henry rolled his eyes.
"John, actually there is another girl. But she was my second choice."
"Which one? Just show me. I will make her yours with no times."
"The girl who is sitting with sister-in-law. Although she is not as beautiful as her, I can manage with her." Henry said with a smile.
John frowned again. He sighed.
"Now what? I am sure that she is not your wife too. Then why are you showing me that att.i.tude? Are you going to help me or not?"
"Henry, she is my little sister, Dolly."
Henry almost choked up. He started coughing violently.
"John, are you want to kill me?"
"I am telling you the truth. She is my long lost sister."Henry opened his mouth to speak something, but stopped, as Charlie was coming towards them.
"Excuse me, boss, .Mr. Davidson and Elder lady boss is calling both of you." Charlie came there and informed both. Both of them nodded and followed him.
Charlie was observing the CCTV footage of the hall. Most of the guest were on the dancing floor. He saw Dolly through the camera. She was speaking to other employees of the Smith Enterprise with a smile. He sighed. He pitied himself. He could not talk or dance with her.
Charlie instructed the security guards to be more alert and he left the CCTV room. He reached near Mrs Smith. She was busy speaking with Mr.Davidson.When Mrs Smith saw him, she sends him to call John and Henry.
Both John and Henry reached near the table where Mrs Smith and Mr.Davidson was sitting.
"Grandma, grandpa, did you call us?" John asked.
Mrs.Smith was busy in discussing something with Mr.Davidson.She looked up and smiled happily.
"Yes, we called you. We have to discuss with you something very important.Sit here first." Both John and Henry nodded and sit down.
"Boss, I am going to the entrance. You people discuss.."Charlie said to John.
" Oh, Charlie. You need not leave. You are also a family member.Sit here with us. I have good news to share with you all."Mrs.Smith said happily. Charlie could not deny her, so he sat down with them.
"Now tell me, grandma? What is the good news? Why are you so happy?"
"John Mr Davidson has chosen Dolly for Henry. He liked our Dolly very much. Oh, Henry, you are my favourite child all the time. Today I am so happy."
They shocked. Although they were talking about Dolly, both John and Henry never thought that Mr Davidson would choose Dolly. Charlie"s condition was the worst. Although he knew that Dolly would get a rich man as her life partner, he never thought it would be too soon. He frowned and got up. How can he sit there, when they were speaking about the marriage of his lover?
"Boss, I forgot something in the guard room. Please excuse me." He said and left without waiting for anyone"s reply.
Now he needs a quiet place to think and cry.
