NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56 : Party Time
Chapter 56 : Party Time
Malabar Mountain area, As the time hit seven o'clock in the evening, one by one, the guests began arriving at the venue. Das sat in one corner, tasting the food items one by one.
He completely ignored the party; he came here only for Luna. The Reddy family really spent a large amount on this party, as they arranged more than hundred varieties of food items.
After coming to the food section, Das completely forgot about the party and started eating a large plate of meals, especially sweets. The serving person is looking at Das with a baffled expression as Das places the plate before him for the fifth time.
"Sir, eating too many sweets is not good for health." The food manager tried to reject Das with a respectful talking. But Das took the spatula from his hands and served himself a large number of sweets.
After serving himself a large amount of food, Das sat in one corner and began observing the guests. The people who came to the party gave Das a strange glance before walking into the venue. But Das completely disregarded everyone and focused on his food.
"I should have brought my orphanage children to this party; this is really good food." Das thought while thinking about his past. While Das was enjoying the food, the chief minister's convoy entered the villa with a loud siren. The patriarch and his son, Richard, personally received the chief minister and his daughter.
Later the patriarch family and the chief minister family directly sat on the stage while Rao took the task of a speaker. Just as the chief minister sat on the stage, the first set of holograms activated, and the 3D holograms of the chief minister and patriarch stood up from the hologram devices.
Das arranged them in circular order, surrounding the guests and opposite to the stage. Das also alternated holograms of the chief minister and the patriarch with pictures of Richard and the chief minister's daughter.
Das felt funny while looking at the flabbergasted expressions of the guests. The chief minister's daughter clapped with more enthusiasm after seeing the lively holograms of herself.
"Haha, the Reddy family lives up to their reputation; they really arranged a good show." The chief minister commented.
"Haha, thank you, chief minister... I personally prepared these holograms." Rao said this with a wrinkled face before the patriarch's father gave credit to Das.
"Good… good." The chief minister commented with a smiley face. Das already expected this outcome. So he did not interfere to take the limelight. The chief minister's schedule is always tight one… hence the patriarch asked the chief minister to announce the engagement without any delay.
"Patriarch, this is not good manners. I heard that your daughter is celebrating a birthday party today. Why don't you first let your daughter cut the cake? Later, I will announce the engagement." The chief minister suggested a meaningful look.
Even though the patriarch agreed to the chief minister request… Luna denied it. "Uncle, if you don't mind, first announce the engagement. People are waiting for this news." Luna replied with a sweet voice.
"Haha… patriarch, you really have a good daughter." The chief minister commented before receiving the microphone to announce his daughter's engagement. As the chief minister stood up, he gestured for Richard and his daughter to stand beside him.
"Thank you to everyone for coming to witness my daughter's engagement. I'm deeply indebted to the Reddy family patriarch for accepting my daughter into his beloved family." Later, the chief minister took out two platinum rings and asked the new pair to exchange rings.
While Das is watching the engagement ceremony with a boring face, Richard added the platinum ring to the finger of the chief minister's daughter, and vice versa. After completing the engagement ceremony, the chief minister did not leave immediately.
He invited Luna to cut the birthday cake with a clapping sound. This time, Luna did not deny his request. As the Luna stood up, a servant brought a large, five-foot chocolate cake onto the stage.
Luna grabbed the knife and made a small cut on the cake after blowing out the candles. While the people started singing the happy birthday song, Das activated the next set of holograms.
Immediately, the lights went out on the venue, and a spot light appeared on the stage, focusing on Luna. The holograms surrounding the venue all changed into her Instagram pictures. After changing the holograms, Das released a bunch of air balloons with birthday wishes and pictures of Luna.
Das changed the entire party's mood in that single instant. While the guests were staring at the air balloons and lively holograms of Luna, Das finally saw a happy smile on Luna's stoic face.
Luna is smiling happily while staring into his eyes. For that one happy look, Das made all these arrangements. But the chief minister's daughter got a little disappointed after seeing all these celebrations for Luna's birthday.
"During my engagement ceremony, except for the people shouting and clapping, there are no other arrangements like flowers or balloons, and the holograms are mainly focused on the chief minister and the patriarch pictures."
The chief minister's daughter is thinking about all these things while Luna is happily eating the cake from the chief minister's hand.
The chief minister's daughter also got jealous because Luna is way more beautiful than her average looks.
"Here, take this. I prepared this gift especially for you." The chief minister handed over a pink diamond necklace to Luna with a smiling face. Luna immediately received the neckless with an amazed look.
As the chief minister offered a gift, the guests started offering gifts to Luna. The funniest part is that they brought these gifts for the chief minister's daughter on the occasion of her engagement. But all these expensive and rare gifts ended up in Luna's hands.
"Because of my busy schedule, I have to leave this party earlier than expected. I request that everyone finish their dinner before leaving the venue." The chief minister left the Reddy family villa after saying that sentence.
But the daughter of the chief minister stayed back to spend some time with Richard.
