That One Deal by Barnali Bhuiya (ebook reader .TXT) 📗

"Why he wants to marry me? I really don't get it, and he seems quite suspicious. He's handsome, doesn't seem to be poor also. He might be rich but me? I'm so different. I'm not beautiful, I don't belong to a rich family either.... And he'll marry me for only one year... My mind is spinning... Oh God!",Luna is lost in her imagination.

"Hello?",says David over the call.

"How can you insult Helena? She's your would be wife!",Bane Carter shouts at him over the call.

"Hahahaha. My would be wife? Mr. Bane I think you are Kidding with me right?",says David.

"Behave yourself David! You'll be having engagement with Helena soon. And now you're laughing? Don't forget you're my son!",he says.

"...", ignoring his words David doesn't reply but stays silent.

"Tomorrow you must come here in the evening. Get that in your mind David.",says he.

"Ok.... I'll go there for sure. Ofcourse you are right, I'm David Carter how can I possibly ignore you. Ok bye then.",he cuts the call.

Bane Carter thinks it's quite surprising that after so many times saying finally David said he would come back to the house. But he can't do anything except believing him and waiting for the time,"Once you get married with Helena, you'll have to accept everything. I'm your Dad I'm thinking for your good Ofcourse. I can't possibly be at loss for you,if you don't get married with Helena then I'll have a major problem in my buisness so at any cost you have to marry Mr. Jones daughter."

"This time I'll listen to you. As you want me to get married then I'll do it for sure. Let's wait for tomorrow.",says David.

The Next Morning

David is working out. As it was a mere cut so it's not a big deal for him. He's all sweaty, looking extremely hot.

There Luna just woke up. She thought she'll go to the hospital soon.

Taking a shower she goes out of her room but seeing David suddenly she turns back.

"Is anything wrong? Miss Luna.",he asks.

(Coughing)

"... No. Good morning.",then she runs towards her room and closes the door.

"What's wrong with her?",he can't understand why she was blushing.

"My heart was bouncing... Why he was looking damn handsome!!! Omg,what I am thinking.... Come back to your senses Luna.",Luna feels like her cheeks are burning.

"Miss Luna?",David knocks at her door.

"Yeah..",she says getting nervous.

"You were going for breakfast right. I'm also going, let's go together.",says he.

"Ahh hehe...",she comes out of the room.

"Are you ok?",David asks.

Looking at another side Luna says,"Yes I am."

"Ok.",says he.

"Why he didn't came back yet? Might be spending money on those bitches!",Mrs. Addison gets very angry and calls Raven but he doesn't reply.

"Mom?", hearing it she looks behind and sees Raven is injured,his shirt got wet with blood. His face got cut, he's standing like a beggar.

"What happened to you? My son...",she goes to him and cries.

"I never know you can do it!!! I'm your son but you don't love me. How could you do this?",he says.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand.",she says.

"Now you don't....even understand? See what did I got because of you...",says he holding his one leg.

"You're drunk again? What bullshits are you spouting huh? I'm so worried to see you like this and you're blaming me for something that I didn't know...",she says getting angry.

"Yes I am.",he goes in his room.

"You! How can you talk like this with your mom?...",she says but ignoring them Raven goes to his room.

*****

After having breakfast Luna doesn't talk to David at all. David stares at her while she's not noticing him.

"If you feel boring then you can go to the garden.",says David.

"Where's the garden?",she asks curiously.

"Mrs. Jessy will take you there.",says he.

"Mrs. Jessy?",she asks.

Seeing the woman she looks at her.

"She's Mrs. Jessy. Take her to the garden later.",says David.

"Oh I see.",says Luna looking at her.

When David leaves for his work Luna asks Mrs. Jessy,"Umm,can I ask you something?"

"Yes Miss. You can.",she says.

"Umm, from when you're here? I mean you know him well?",she asks.

"It's been some years. I know young master like what he likes or dislikes,not much maybe. But why do you ask?",Mrs. Jessy says.

"Umm because I was curious. What he dislikes?",she asks.

"Young Master doesn't like spicy foods. He can't eat outside,he likes homemade dishes. He doesn't like strangers. He doesn't like anybody to go close to him or to touch him maybe. And he doesn't like girls. He doesn't like to talk much....",says Mrs. Jessy.

"Ehh?", she's confused.

"Haha you might be thinking why he's different than what I'm saying but those are truth.", saying so she leaves Luna alone.

"Doesn't like strangers? Not even someone to touch him or go closer to him? Doesn't like girls?.... But I'm all these. When I touched him that day he didn't say something like he was getting annoying or..... He talked about deal but I am a girl..... Why he's different than what Mrs. Jessy said?...",Luna asks herself in her mind. She's quite confused.
