MARRIED TWICE

Episode / Chapter 31.

‘CLUMSY guy’ watched in shock as Sharuna walked into the building
Pain wasn’t what he felt, but he was surprised and shock
God!

He didn’t even know that ‘Snoby’ was attending his father’s arts institution
He had to go see his father, yes, he had to
************************
Mr Bennett, the owner of the arts institution was sitted in his office that morning as usual
His pen dancing on the book he was writing on, and his specks majestically worn on his eyes, as always
Then a knock on the door interrupted him for a second
He looked up
“Come in”, he motioned
The door opened and his handsome son strode in; it was ‘Clumsy guy’
“Dad”, he called, taking a seat opposite him
Mr Bennett smiled

“Son, how you? How was your training? Hope it went well?”, he reeled out questions, relaxing his back on the chair
“Yes dad, as usual”, he replied and sighed
“Well, as you can see, I’m busy so table your matter short”
They laughed
“Dad, do you have any new intake?”, ‘Clumsy guy’ asked
Mr Bennett looked at him
“Yes, why?”
“Well, I didn’t know Dr Sujit’s daughter is one as well?”
“Oh yes. She should be resuming today, any problem?”
He shook his head
“Not at all. Just that…”, he paused, scratching his head,
“I didn’t know Dr Sujit ever had a daughter”
His father smiled, knowing where he was heading to
“Dr Sujit adopted her not long ago. So, it’s not like it’s his biological daughter, but he prefers referring to her as his daughter”
He nodded

“Okay. I have actually been trying to talk to her, but she seems…..rude, kinda snubby. I met her at my party and also this morning, just at the entrance, but she doesn’t want to give me a second of her time”, he explained dejectedly
His father smiled
“You should understand girls son. Most of them wanna play hard to get at first”
His son sighed
“But don’t worry”, Mr Bennett continued, “I will see what I can do”
‘Clumsy guy’s face lit up in happiness
“Are you serious dad?”, he asked
“Yes son. I will try arrange for you two to meet okay?”
“Ohh father. Thanks so much, thank you”, he greeted
“You are welcome son”
A message notification popped up on ‘Clumsy guy’s phone, he looked into it
“Dad, I gotta go now. Mom needs me”
“Okay son. Take care and be careful”
He smiled
“I will dad, thanks once again”
Mr Bennett nodded and smiled as he watched his son leave the office

Sharuna flopped down on the bench in a provision store opposite the arts institution
They had finished and closed for the day
She had decided to wait for Dr Sujit at the provision store instead of the institution, because she didn’t want ‘Clumsy guy’s clumsiness again
Ahhh!
What a day
Though it was tiring, but it really worth it
Her teachers were awesome and accommodating

They were marveled at the way she carried out her own sculpturing, it was enough to get someone flabbergasted
She gonna improve after few more teachings, she knew it
Then she saw his car, screeched to a halt at the front of the institution, opposite the store she sat
She got up and crossed to the other side of the road, where the car had stopped
“Hey Daddy”, she waved, “good day”, she greeted
Dr Sujit looked at her and nodded
“Where were you?”, he demanded
“I was in the provision store over the road, waiting”, she pointed to the store
Dr Sujit turned to look
“There? Why waiting there? What happened to the school?”
She sighed
“I just felt like waiting there”, she entered the car
Dr Sujit shrugged and revved the car
“How was your day? How did you see the place?”, he asked
“Well, it’s really cool. My day was fine all the same”
Dr Sujit smiled
“That’s good news”
Then he paused, thinking of how to bring up what he had in mind
He cleared his throat
“Sharuna?”, he called
“Yes dad?”

“Well, I’m sorry tomorrow you won’t be going there, just tomorrow”, he focused on the road, carefully avoiding her eyes
She looked worried
“Why?”, she asked
“I’m taking you somewhere else, to get to know a friend”, he replied shortly
She just digested the information and relaxed comfortably on the chair
Dr Sujit let out a sigh of relief
He thought she was gonna flare up as usual
*
*
*
*
“Here we are”, Dr Sujit announced as soon as they got to their destination
He had taken her to the ‘place’ as he had said he would the following morning
Sharuna looked around
The house was familiar, the compound, the trees and the building
But she couldn’t recall anything
Then it dawned on her
“Oh yes!”, she hit her head with her hand
“Shit! The party arena”, she said
“You don’t use such words Sharuna”, Dr Sujit warned sternly, looking at her
She smiled
“I’m sorry”
They alighted and walked up to the house
Dr Sujit rang the doorbell and a maid came to answer
“Good morning Dr Sujit”, she greeted
“Morning Prisha. Where are they?”, he asked
“Upstairs, at the guestroom”
“Thanks, come on Sharuna”, he said and they took the stairs
They got to the guestroom and knocked, then entered
Sharuna froze at the spot

Sitted on the sofa was ‘Clumsy guy’ and the other man, she didn’t know his name, but she recalled seeing him at the bush bar in the party
What was her father trying to do?
She just stood there looking,lost in thoughts and even didn’t greet
“Sharuna?”, Dr Sujit nudged her
‘Clumsy guy’ was instantly shocked
The name
Sharuna, it was familiar, but he couldn’t really pinpoint anything

“Oh!”, she realized herself and greeted the man, she didn’t even looked at ‘Clumsy guy’
“Sit down”, her father motioned, and she obeyed
“So, what can I offer you both?”, Mr Bennett asked
“I don’t care for anything, I mean it’s still too early”, Dr Sujit said, “you can ask my daughter”
Mr Bennett turned to Sharuna
“Do you care for anything? Or you want to join daddy?”, they laughed
She shook her head
“I’m okay. Thanks”
“Well, so Sharuna”, Dr Sujit looked at her.
“These are the people I was talking about. You know him?”, he pointed at Mr Bennett
Sharuna shook her head
“I……. don’t actually know him. But I’ve seen him”, she said
“Really? At where?”, he asked
At where?
Wait, was he really asking her where?
Doesn’t he know
“At the party”, she blurted out
Dr Sujit smiled

“Oh! That’s true. Well, he is my friend, the one I told you that runs the institution, he’s the owner. And that’s his son”, he pointed at ‘Clumsy guy’
She faked a smile and nodded
She was already becoming freaked out, she really needed to go back home
Dr Sujit checked his wristwatch
“Well daughter”, he said, “I will be leaving for work now. I will come and pick you up once you’re done”
She was shocked
Done? Done with what exactly?
She got up
“I’m already done, let’s go”, she said
Their hosts were taken aback
Dr Sujit looked at her and smiled

“Don’t worry daughter, you will be fine. Feel free with them, they’re my friends okay”, he pleaded
Sharuna had never remembered him pleading as this
He melted her heart
She decided to stay
“Okay Daddy. I will”
He smiled
“That’s my angel. So just give me a call once you’re done ok?”
She nodded and sat down
Mr Bennett also got up
“Let me see him off”, he said
That was a trick
Yes, they almost tricked her and she knew it
Mr Bennett just said that to give them the space to talk
“Okay dad”, she heard ‘Clumsy guy’ speak
Now, it was just the two of them in the guestroom
They were both speechless, not knowing what to say

Well, as for Sharuna, she brought out her phone and started working on it, completely ignoring ‘Clumsy guy’
If he didn’t know what to say, he should remain dumb
‘Clumsy guy’ on his part, was searching for a what to say
He didn’t know where to start from
Now the girl he had wanted eagerly to talk to, was here now, and he couldn’t say anything
He sighed and decided to introduce himself first
He cleared his throat
“Well…… I’m Priceley”
Huh?

To Be Continued…… . . .
