A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 31: He's lying

Siya

We were talking casually before a familiar voice intervened, "Good evening, Sir and Ma'am, " I tilted my head to see, finding Vishal wandering towards us with a girl, my smile dropped, replacing it to fear.

"Good evening, Vishal and Rena." Karan and Rhea greeted in unison.

Vishal's eyes turn in my direction, "Your wife, I assume," He says, gaping at me.

"Yes, Adah met Vishal, my manager, and my secretary, Rena." He introduced us.

"Nice to meet you, Ma'am." They said together. I can feel that Vishal is called me Ma'am purposely to make me feel guilty, I just slightly smiled in response, not finding proper words to say.

"But I can sense something between you two," Karan adds teasingly.

"Yes, We just started to date." Vishal replies, blushing so did Rena.

"Oh, that's great, Congrats!" 

"Thank you so much, Sir, now if you allow us." With that, they disappeared among other guests.

Karan, Sunny, Jiya, and Ronnie were laughing at a silly joke, I was enjoying the time, forgetting that I even met Vishal here when I suddenly caught Rhea very disturbed as we walked together to the table where Ronnie's bday cake is placed.

"Is everything alright?" I asked, following her eyes were looking for someone.

"Yes, but I don't know where's my stupid husband and brother are, " Ohh! It means Karan's stepbrother whom Janna ma told me about, she continued, "I called and even left a message for them, but they still haven't responded to it!" She exclaims, angrily.

I tapped on her shoulder, "Don't worry, they will be here soon."

She gives me a sad smile, "Hope so, but I don't want Ronnie to cut the cake without his dad and uncle." She specified.

I nodded, "I can understand."

"Mom, when are we gonna cut the cake?! I can't wait to eat it!" Ron asked.

"Soon but first let your dad come," She replies.

"And when is he coming?" Jiya asks.

"He'll-" Rhea's voice gets cut by a manly voice behind us.

"I am already here!"

"Dad!" Ronnie and Jiya screamed, happily, running to their father. We turned around, finding an average-looking man in a blue suit who must be in his 30s with another guy in the black suit who was looking too friendly, he was around the same age as Sunny, I guess.

"Hey, my babies!" He screams back, squeezing them in his arms.

"Adah, meet my husband, Rajeev, and my brother Rohan." She introduced me to them, they walked towards us as Rajeev gently shook hands with me whereas Rohan smirked, and about to take my hand in his when Karan stopped him.

"She is your bhabhi sa, Rohan!" Karan told him, giving the hint of jealousy in his tone as he grabbed me back towards him.

Rohan gaped at me, surprised, "Really? She looks too young and beautiful." He countered.
