450 The party begins - 1
"What are you scared of Raymond? This was all that you wanted right? To come out in the open."
"It\'s not that simple doctor. What I am going to say to my sister? What good reason shall I give her for hiding myself away from her?"
"I am pretty sure your sister will understand the reasons behind such a dire decision of yours. But I guess right now you should worry more about finding out the truth. The truth behind all of this. Sebastian is trying hard to suppress your memory again. He has asked Dr. Oshana to get new medicines for you. He is trying everything humanly possible to prevent you from remembering something, which I feel might trouble him the most."
"I think this memory can be my biggest leverage against him. But now I am not sure what to do at the party? What if the are successful in giving me the medicine? I can\'t go to the party and not eat and drink. Plus I do not want my father to be suspicious of that poor doctor. He has already made her life hell. I do not want to get her into any more trouble."
"That will not happen."
"How?"
"Because I am getting my tux ready."
"You will go to that party? But the invites are exclusive and... Oh, wait !!! You are going as Dr. Oshana\'s plus one?"
"Exactly !!!"
"Then I have one more request !!!"
"Yesh, tell me."
"Take care of Akira. Please. She going as plus one of one my so-called sworn enemy."
"That would be Vikram isn\'t it?"
"Yeah, that\'s absolutely correct. But how do you know?"
"Even I am amazed. It\'s such a short span of time, but I fell like I am aware of all your enemies in the town. Quite ironic I must say."
"Isn\'t my whole life ironic."
Saying that Raymond chuckled and both the men had a good laugh about it.
"Well, the thing is, he might try to get close to her, given the history that he had already proposed her once. Akira is good enough to handle him, but she is too nice of a person. So just make sure that he doesn\'t get all close and stuff with her."
"Acting all possessive huh. But hey, do not worry. I will take care of you both."
"Go and get ready now. You have a big night upcoming. You need to steal the show well."
Raymond laughed at his joke and then he disconnected the call to go for a quick shower before getting dressed.
-----
He took out his favorite pair of onyx cufflinks and paired it with his crisp white shirt. His hair was all gelled and set. He looked all prim and polished from top to bottom. His whole aura looked like that of a show stopper. As he opened his tie drawer, he looked at the small box stuck in the middle, containing the same ring which he had given to Akira almost two years ago and took it out.
He wasn\'t sure if Akira would ever remove her old engagement ring and accept him and his love. But he was hopeful. Hopeful that things will go his way.
So today he was not dressing to impress her, but to win her, her heart and her mind. So keeping that engagement ring inside his tux jacket, he adjusted his bowtie and gave himself a final look.
He looked nothing less than a million-dollar prince. Satisfied with the final outcome, he called his driver to take out the limo. After all, he was going to pick up his dream girl.
