Chapter- -17
Anniversary day begins with Mr Edward Bruke words and then the other shareholders share few words of honour for Mr. Bruke, his son and the company. The guests were shown the pictures and a little documentary on the journey of Bruke holdings. The guests sit and appreciates their hard work and courage that how he started his company with little money which is now worldwide famous and a profitable company. Alex sits with his dad and Rumi manages the media and looks after the other arrangements of the party.
Alex holds her hand downstairs and thanks her for arranging such a wonderful event and kisses on her lips. Oh Alex! I thought that you just had One-night stand with this girl but I was wrong it seems that you have fallen in love with her beyond limits. Hearing this they turned around and see that it was June, standing behind them. She offends him with her bitter words. She says that that day he said it was just a mistake and was shamefaced. In fact, I was thinking of forgiving you as your dad wants but you are still involved with this low standard bitch. Rumi starts crying and Alex seething with rage lifts his hand against June but stops himself when he sees his dad coming to him.
Alex, what is this? You said that there is nothing between you and that girl named Rumi and what June is saying is true or not? Says Mr Bruke in vexation. Mr. Edward, I told you that Alex must be with that girl even he knows the significance of this evening for you and the company. She is artful and has trapped him in love. June doesn’t know what is she speaking (tries to stop her). June, mind your tongue! Don’t speak a word against her because you know nothing and saying whatever comes to your mind. Alex warns June. Alex don’t threaten her and tell me everything what June is talking about right now. I will tell you everything after anniversary and please don’t believe June for god’s sake. Alex begs in front of his father.
This girl is a gold digger! Edward says while looking at the crying Rumi. This shameless girl is still standing here says June rudely and Rumi crying, runs outside and leaves for her home. When reaches home she saw Olive talking to her mother and adding more to her misery.
Rumi enters her house and her mother Emly looked back at Rumi in anger. Rumi, I didn’t expect this from you. What did you do with that rich man just for money? Go inside I will talk to you very soon. Emly orders Rumi. She goes to her room and after few minutes Olive comes and shows sympathy towards her.
I really don’t need your sympathy Olive and leave the house immediately says Rumi irritatingly. She asks him that he has manipulated the situation to his own benefit.No, I just told her about the real face of Alex Bruke says Olive. Thank god! I got a chance to visit Germany where I met Miss June and she revealed the truth that how he trapped you for his own benefit and being your friend, it is my responsibility to protect you from that malevolent and that’s the reason I told your mother about him but don’t worry I have convinced her that you are innocent and it was his ploy to trap you. Olive tries to hold Rumi’s shoulder but she immediately drags him back and asks him to leave her house because she can handle her affairs on her own.
Alex, why didn’t you tell me that you were already in a relationship with someone before you were engaged? Edward rebukes Alex. Dad, it’s not like that because when I got engaged with June at that time there was nobody in my life and this is also true that I had a deal with Rumi to get rid of this engagement and I am really sorry for my action because at that time things were different but at present I am deeply in love with Rumi. I want to spend my whole life with her. Alex gets emotional in front of his dad. She seems to be a gold digger! Dad! Please don’t say like that, he interrupts his father. Oh, whatever it is and leaves the room.
Alex is alone, hurt and remembers the face of Rumi and eyes filled with tears. His heart broke into thousand pieces when he saw her crying. He calls Rumi but her number goes switch off. Suddenly, June enters and stands in front of him. Alex can we talk? June asks. There is nothing to talk June, you have already ruined everything says Alex. He is still hurt and angry with her. She keeps her hand on Alex’s shoulder and says that you are every woman’s dream Alex and deep inside I like you very much and I don’t want anyone to hurt or fool you in any way. June waits for an answer from Alex. He withdraws her hand and says that this is my life and I know what to do. You know I really felt bad for what I did with you and wanted to apologize but now you don’t even deserve my apology. And listen carefully the girl I love is Rumi and next time if you did not hold your tongue and mind your own business then you will be in great trouble and you know me well. Alex leaves the room while threatening June. I think in fact you don’t know me well Alexander Bruke. June says in a cunning way and breaks the vase which was on the table.
