.......... Next Brijj met Suraj in the conference of Chicago after three months. Brij hugged Suraj with cheers .
"Hi. good to see you ....now show me the photo of your life-partner! .quick."
Suraj grinned. "First let me share about my dystopian but also somewhat fantastic experiences of those girls!"
Brij pitched himself in a sofa opposite to suraj, with awe and curiosity in his face .
" ...go on, my hero!'--
Suraj: "Please hold on your enthusiasm; in fact it's a story of failure and fun, not of any hero, but u-mm... of Mr.Zero."
"Aha-, will you please start now, Mr Zero-hero!"
-" have patience boy; story is told and listened slowly and very slowly, like champaign or wine with small sip; not to swallow like bitter medicine, understand ?"
- Brij swallowed the vodka from. his glass in one sip and poured the second round in the glass, while replied,
"yes I understand everything quickly. Will you start now ?"
Suraj
Yes ,as I reached. Jaipur Airport, I saw a suited-booted smart looking man was waiting with my name on the the arrival lounge .Surprisingly the man recognized me and gave me a smile and introduced himself,'I am Mr Gopilal, the agent of the Matrimonial,-'Bondless Bond.'
Umm... hope the flight was smooth, sir?"..
Coming to the parking lot Suraj saw a black shiny Rolls Royce car with driver wearing Rajsthani dress with turban like a king.
The driver opened the door with pleasant smile; he with the agent got into the car.
Suraj: what time it needs to reach....
Gopilal : Not more than 35//40 minutes .
Suraj: Now it is about 11:am. I must come back within12:45 because I have to accomplish a few more appointments.
Gopilal: Ok, no problem!... Sir, here I have the album of "Beauty Tejoria" with her full bio-data, hobby etc. .You can browse it and free to ask me question, he held the album towards him .
(...So the name is 'Beauty,' and not any of native name like Nina, Bina, Mina !)
Waiving his hands Suraj replied ,"it is not necessary."I need to talk with the lady alone about 15/20 minutes , after the introduction with her guardian.
Agent: Father of Beauty is the richest as well as most influential person in Jaipur.....he is an eminent figure in this area.. he lived in the habeli known as "Marble House".
King (late)Jogeswar Rathore was once the previous owner of this "Marble House.'
.............
Suraj was absorbed in trodding the memory lane of his bitter part of past life in his motherland while looking outside through the window of the running car , without paying ears to the story of the agent .
He was rocked back to the present world when the agent , addressed him with the opened door of the car.,
" Sir, here we are - the Marble House!"
Suraj asked the matrimonial Company that he wanted an ordinary graduate girl of middle-class family without any demand of dowry.
....So 'Rolls Royce' , Marble House , two security guards in front of. the royal steel iron gate which emit pride of money, were adding only negative repulsive points in the mind of Suraj.----------
He was warmly greeted by the parent as he entered with the agent in the exhuberantly adorned drawing room . They all took seat in the sofa.The initial introductory chat with drinks and snacks was running on.
The agent announced that Suraj wanted to talk with Beauty alone. Mr Tejoria said, "Sure, sure ,no problem!
He called Meghna, the woman who served drinks and snacks. Meghna appeared to say that Beauty would come back within ten/fifteen minutes from the 'conference of women welfare'.
As Meghna left ,Mr Tejoria informed I have to appoint Meghna to fix programs of my daughter Beauty and schedule her calendar, to remind her. She is connected with so many social activities !
Mr.Tejoria said : Beauty, my only child, is my pride.
She is expert in hiking, biking, swimming, horse-riding, driving and what not; Last year she was invited by Lion's Club in Calcutta to participate in the Vintage Rally; she is almost my unofficial business partner... E-he-he-he..he gave a boastful smile.
....Suraj became impatient. Holding the drinking glass, he asked in a filmy style like a hero,
"I am interested to know how is she as bed-partner?
The parent exchanged their stunt looks to each other with different expression :while the mouth of Mrs Tejoria was slightly opened, Mr Tejoria's jaw was tightened hard! Then they throw the ball towards the agent by casting their confused eyes .
The agent also was nervous and puzzled what to answer . He rubbed his palms and pushed them to his trouser's pocket, to shake off his nervousness;
"yea, --yea --, that's a good question no doubt! umm, mm..
y-e-s some say she is not good at all;"
(the advance payment of Rs 2000/in the envelop of trouser, as if, whimpered with the touch of finger and palm.
What the hell is he ! as agent he must add only positive quality!)
So to rectify he promptly lifted his body and walked facing towards the opened window ;
Shrugging the shoulder he divulged - ..also it is rumoured ,
she is so-so;
Then throwing his right hand upward with a snap dramatically declared, but some say,
" She is fantastic!"
..........a pin-drop-silence in the room !
Gopilal noticed with shocking surprise through the window that Suraj was getting inside the car to leave..He turned back and saw the empty sofa of Suraj and as live statues of Mrs and MR.Tejoria.
He rushed but the car passed before he reached the gate.
The car was still in slow motion near the gate;
With cracked throat Gopilal. called ,'Sai-ear'..raising hand to stop-the car ;as he tried to rush through the gate, he was interrupted by a robust hand with a dagger close to his center of chest ; he became pale to see the dagger dazzled in bright sunlight!
In a calm somber voice the security man asked ,"give back the advanced money before crossing the gate."
Like automated machine Gopilal handed over the envelope with advanced Rs,2000 as gatepass and walked towards the road like a toddler.
