Chapter 4: Persuasive skills

Drishti's point of view

"so you think you have persuasive skills, don't you? " Samaira questioned.

"Sam, it's past twelve in night and you have called me to ask such a question.." I whined as my so called bf... I mean best friend disturbed my sleep.

" get your self together and show up at my home right now.... and knock some sense in my mother... You have 10 mins" she ordered. 

"What...listen,I know you returned my scooty in the evening at cafe where you paid for my pasta as well.... But this doesn't mean you can disturb my sleep... Got it?"

"9 mins and 25 secs"

"Sam... You-"

"if you don't come here right now.... I will tell your Dracula mother that you can cook which you learnt from YouTube... Then you know what will you go through.. "

" I will be there in 5 mins.. Bye" I took my specs and ran to her house as if I was going to take a prize that I won in luckydraw...No way in the hell I can tolerate my mom if she knows about my culinary skills.She is going to keep me whole time in this jail and will also force me to leave my jobs. So I went there with no option left. 

At Samaira's place

I rang the bell and aunty opened the door with a grumpy face. 

"uhh... Hi... Aunty" I greeted. 

" who the hell is aunty.... How many times have I told you to call me Mrs Mittal..." she complained not happy with the name I called her. 

" who is there?" Sam's father came. 

"Samaira's friend Drishti.... God the girls these days think they are the only young creatures on the earth and all the other females are aunties" Sam's mother said to her husband. 

" My dear wife, she must have mistakenly said that....now let her in" Sam's father defended me. They are adorable couple unlike my parents. 

So currently we all were in hall with Samaira as well.

I sighed

Time to show your persuasive skills drishti. 

Rakshit's point of view

I was currently sitting in my mom's room. I came to check on her before sleeping. When I came and saw her she was sleeping. 

I sighed.... medicines always help her in taking good amount of sleep otherwise she gets restless. 

When I saw her....I was reminded the things she said to me last time. 

"1 week"

Then my mind went to the conversation I had with the lawyer today. 

" please... Mr Bansal, I need her within a week, my mom is very sensitive about her and-"

" Mr Rakshit Shergill... I know that but you are obliged to fulfill the criterias which are made by the orphanage... we can't violet the laws... It would be illegal" he said calmly. 

" but in 1 week how am I able to find a girl who will be able to take care of her... this is near to impossible....and why is it necessary to be married I am capable to give her good future." I tried to knock some sense in him. 

" that's the point... This is not about money it's about responsibility... the orphanage very well knows the sufferings children can face.... So they have clearly stated that they want a married couple to adopt any child which belong there.

See Mr Shergill... You will be working at your office all the time that means away from your home....and your mother is a heart patient.... in this situation do you think the girl will be safe if some day your mom gets ill? Please think practical....a child grows well in presence of both the parents"

" I think you are right... I never thought this way.... I guess I have only one option left....and that is to get MARRIED. "

I sighed.... I need to talk to Rohan and I left from my mom's room giving her last glance. 

I am ready to do this for her.
