“Roshni, I need some help finalizing these dresses. I picked these two. Do you like them?” Very subtly he asked her opinion.
Roshni looked at the dresses Deepak selected, and she liked them. The colors and designs were of her preference, and she communicated the same to Deepak.
“Roshni, do you really like these?” he asked again to confirm.
“Yes, I do. They are pretty colors.”
“If it was for you, would you buy these? Would you wear them?” he repeated.
She approved them.
Deepak looked at Sarita and conveyed the same to her.
Deepak paid for the dresses, and they left the store, thanking Sarita. After leaving the bags in the car trunk, they walked to the jewelry store. The owner recognized Roshni since she was there not too long ago with Sashank to select jewelry sets for Kusum. Both were welcomed into the store.
“I am interested in buying a couple of sets for my wife,” he glanced at Roshni, “and a set for my sister-in-law, please,” said Deepak to the owner.
Roshni overheard him say ‘wife’, and her mind filled with various negative thoughts. She tried to ignore them, but they bothered her. Of course, Deepak meant his wife – Roshni.
“Any particular designs, sir?” asked the owner.
Deepak called Roshni to help him.
“I think you can get gold or a pearl set for Kusum didi. She will like one of those,” Roshni suggested.
On behalf of Sashank and Akash, Deepak was asked to buy a set with a necklace, earrings and bangles. “Okay, let’s start there,” said Deepak and asked the owner to show him gold and pearl sets.
The owner brought out a few gold and pearl sets. Deepak and Roshni discussed them, and finally they selected one gold set that had very intricate details with beautiful tiny pearls embedded in the design. It was not too heavy, with several grams of gold.
“Roshni, can you wear this? Let’s see how this looks,” asked Deepak. He was smart, asking her to try them on and seeing how it looked on her!
Roshni tried it on, and Deepak was enthralled seeing his beautiful wife in that necklace. The 22-carat necklace shone brightly on her silky white neck! He asked the owner to show them matching bangles, and they chose a set. Again, Deepak asked Roshni to try them on since both Roshni and Kusum bhabhi were the same size. Roshni tried them on; she too liked the set. They decided to purchase this pearl set.
The owner asked what other sets they were interested in, and Deepak looked at Roshni for her help, and Roshni suggested looking at emerald or ruby sets.
However, Roshni had a question. “Deepak, do you have a budget? I mean, emerald and ruby sets can be expensive. We can ask him to show us something that fits your budget,” she said.
Very thoughtful indeed. “No limits, as long as the set is good and you like it.” He smiled at her.
Roshni asked the owner to show them some emerald and ruby sets. She was perplexed. Why did he ask her opinion when he bought these sets for his wife?
A thought crossed her mind. Whoever this woman is, she is lucky, for he loves her so much that he is ready to pay any amount. She thought of the dresses he’d bought earlier, and the same thoughts crossed her mind. Little did she know that all these were purchased for her.
The owner brought in several emerald and ruby sets with diamonds and pearls, all embedded in 22-carat gold, and exhibited them. Deepak very quietly watched Roshni’s expressions as she looked at the sets. It appeared that Roshni did not like diamonds; she focused on the sets with pearls and fewer diamonds.
She selected a few and looked at Deepak. “I choose these sets. As you can see, they are expensive. You may choose what you like.”
“Gosh, how am I to choose which one is better?” He looked at her. “Roshni, would you mind wearing these so I can see how they look before I decide?”
Roshni started to try one after another, and they discussed each of the sets. Deepak tried to get Roshni to agree on a couple so he could buy them for her. She looked absolutely gorgeous with each of the sets she wore to show him.
Deepak could not stop watching her neck – thin and long with silky skin – wow! How he wished he could touch that skin!
There were three sets that Roshni and Deepak agreed on. Deepak asked her if it was her choice, which one she would buy, and she told Deepak that she had helped him this far and now he should make that decision. For a moment, he thought he would get all three and looked at Roshni for her opinion. Roshni had no answer. The owner, of course, had a good customer in front of him and wanted to sell all three sets. Roshni saw that Deepak was being manipulated by the shopkeeper, and she could not take it anymore.
She interrupted, “Deepak, I think you should get the rubies and emerald/ruby sets. You can forego the emerald set with diamonds. These two look very nice, especially if your wife is fair and has a long neck.”
Deepak had his answer. He asked the owner to pack the two sets they liked and turned towards Roshni. “Do you like them?”
