Chapter 27: : Party Arrangements
"H.... e..... l... l..... o…" Das answered the call in a sleepy tone.
"Hello… Das, are you listening?" A sweet teenage girl's voice came from the other end.
"Who is this?..." Das questioned in a dull voice, as he was still sleeping soundly.
"Wake up!... it's me, Luna." She replied from the other end.
"What... why are you disturbing me in the early morning?" Das muttered in a sleepy tone.
"It's already eight O'clock... stop drooling." She replied annoyingly.
"What's the matter? Why did the princess called me? ..." Das started sweet talking.
"My grandfather got the news about you kissing me in the parking lot. He urgently wants to talk with you." Luna said, trying to see his reaction.
"What!... when did I kiss you?..." Das immediately stood up on the bed. He felt an electric shock after listening to the news of their kissing.
"Hey, how can I forget about it?... Didn't we kiss each other on the night of the business meeting at my house?" Luna said this annoyingly.
"You are the one who kissed me. Not the other way around. Please first say that to your grandfather. otherwise, he will definitely kill me." Das said in a nervous tone.
"Hmmhh... I thought you were brave enough to face my grandfather. What a looser!..." Luna gave a big smirk.

"I'm just a normal citizen. What can I do against your old man? He is the one who is controlling this entire city. So, stop making me a scape goat." Das replied with a sympathetic tone.
"Haha, forget it. I'm just messing with you!!!... No one knows about our kisses." Luna said with sweet laughter.
"Haaa, what a troublemaker! She is playing with my pitiful life." Das thought while drinking water in a relaxed state.
"Hello… Are you there? ..." Luna's voice came from the other end.
"If it was not for our kissing matter... then why did you call me?" Das asked in a questioning manner.
"My grandfather asked me to invite you for the breakfast. Come as soon as possible." She replied with the actual reason for making the call.
"What?! ... no… I have to attend the college." Das said instantly.
"Can you say the same thing for my grandfather? Don't forget that you are denying the Reddy family's invitation." She said it in a serious tone.
"Hey… hey… I'm just kidding. I will be there in an hour." Das replied to soothe her anger.
"That's more like it... I will be waiting for you with a thousand eyes. Please come faster." She disconnected the call after saying that sentence. Das felt great relief after disconnecting the call.
He did not understand how to deal with this spoiled girl. She is always teasing him like a sweet lover. But he can't retaliate or tease her, as she is the daughter of the Reddy family patriarch. Let's see... maybe the future holds a surprise for me. Das hoped for the best.
(Author: My dear Das, just enjoy this initial sweet love drama... In the future, I will definitely give you a magical surprise. After that, not only a Reddy family daughter...(Even the hidden family princess will surround you like flies.)
Das quickly showered and changed into a new pair of clothes from his shopping trip the day before. After checking everything, he started his journey towards the Malabar Mountain area.
He took several short cuts to reach the destination as fast as he could. It took an hour and a half to get to the mountaintop villa.This time, the security did not stop him. He went directly to the main building.
As expected, Luna was already waiting for him at the main gate. After greeting her, they both went straight to the dining hall.
At the dining table, already more than ten people sat in a formal order. As usual, the patriarch, his son Richard, and the old man sat at the top of the table, occupying the three main chairs.
"Haha… Das, come. Sit here." We are all waiting for you. The old man said with a hearty laugh.
Das slightly bowed towards the old man as a sign of respect, and he occupied the seat across from the patriarch. After making sure that everything was in order, the patriarch started talking about the purpose of the gathering.
"Thank you everyone for coming here in such a short notice. There is really a big good news for the family. My son Richard is going to be the son-in-law of the chief minister."
Everyone started applauding with great enthusiasm. Das can see their true happiness. Especially the old man and the patriarch—they are grinning with great joy. Out of everyone in the room, only Richard is giving a fake laugh.
The patriarch continued after the commotion died down.
"The chief minister will personally announce this matter at the birthday party of my daughter Luna."
"So, to make this party a grand success, we need to put extra effort into the arrangements. That is why I personally invited the number one event manager in this state."
'Mr. Rao, please.' The patriarch gestured for Rao to introduce himself to everyone.
Rao was a short, middle-aged man who looked like a comic character with his smooth bald head.
Rao woke up from his seat and bowed towards all the members.
"I'm really thankful to the patriarch for choosing me to conduct this prestigious party. I will do my best to make this party a big success." Rao said with a sincere tone.
"Haha… Rao, you are too modest." The patriarch spoke while patting Mr. Rao on the shoulder.
"As for the arrangements, Mr. Rao will explain his plans for the party, and we can make our suggestions and requests after that." The patriarch requested that Rao explain the party arrangements.
Rao took out an iPad from his bag and started explaining about the party arrangements like a professional soft wear designer.
"As the chief minister is a public figure, we will arrange this party at the largest functional hall in Mumbai. We will make a separate seating arrangement for the VIP guests, and we will only allow those with invitations."
"I will also personally invite a few celebrities to attend the party. So that we can gain a large media focus. As for the food, we will follow the best menu offering more varieties."
Mr. Rao continued to explain each and every topic in a detailed manner. He took half an hour to complete his presentation.
"I'm requesting everyone to trust my agency. we will definitely make this party a grand success so that everyone will talk about the Reddy family."
With that sentence, Mr. Rao completed his grand speech. Everyone started clapping and congratulating Mr. Rao for his flawless arrangements. There is a big smile on Rao's curly face.
Finally, after everyone had settled down, the patriarch asked for suggestions or any special requests for the party.
"Sir, Mr. Rao is the best event organiser in this city. He was known for planning and arranging grand parties for famous people around the country. We can definitely entrust everything to Mr. Rao." One of the important family member directly supported Mr. Rao.
Also no one said anything or mentioned any requests. The patriarch was satisfied with the result as no one questioned Mr. Rao's arrangements.
"Mr. Rao, please tell me how in advance you need to start the preparations as we only have four days left for the party."
The patriarch finally asked the main question, as Mr. Rao was also patiently waiting for this question.
"Sir, we will take thirty percent as an advance from the total estimated amount. I also have to pay for the celebrities in advance. So, the advance amount will be around two and a half crore rupees." Mr. Rao stated the huge number calmly.
"It is not a big amount for Reddy's family... But every one gasped after listening to that huge number."
"Because it was still an advance amount. How much would the final total cost be?..." Das felt tingling around his brain after listening to that amount.
Even though the patriarch felt uneasy, he took out his chequebook to sign for that big amount. Just before the patriarch put his signature on the chequebook, the old man stopped him.
"Das, why is your face sad?... are you hiding anything from me?" The old man asked directly, staring at Das face.
Das was startled by the old man's direct question. Everybody inside the hall was watching him curiously. Everyone already had doubts about Das's presence in this meeting, and after the old man's questioning, everybody turned their focus on him.
"Nothing, sir, I'm just thinking to myself." Das tried to avoid the old man's question.
"Das, no one is going to judge you for your opinion. Don't hide your thoughts from me." The old man was again asked for his reply.
Das decided to speak his mind as the old man had already given his assurance.
"I'm really sorry if I offended anyone with what I'm going to say.... I'm sad because we are making the birthday party of the patriarch's daughter into a political party."
"The Reddy family also won't gain any supporters from this grand expensive party." Das spoke directly without any reservations.
