CHAPTER 5

The meeting had been very abruptly arranged but Rishabh did not see any reason to be unruffled. Prakarsh was very calm during all of it.

“ I think Arpita loves you a lot and you do the same. You should marry her.”

Rishabh smiled inside. The PLAN had worked.

“ Well Mr. Prakarsh , I want to but its all very unclear for me… I mean my business is not doing all that well and I don’t know….”

Prakarsh cut him short. He wanted to know the price without the dramatics.” How much?”he asked.

Rishabh understood . “ How much can you give ?”

“ I have 56 percent shares of the company. You get sixteen percent of it. The forty percent goes to Arpita.”

“ What will you take ?” asked Rishabh .

“ Nine months that I spent with her ……with the false hope that one day she would truly love me.” Prakarsh remarked and walked away.

Six days later Arpita Patodia became Mrs. Arpita Motwani , wife of Rishabh Motwani.
