The Party - Mocking

3rd PERSON POV ---

Zara and others came out of the door to the side of the stage.

As they entered some of the people standing there enjoying the party started surrounding them.

Ritik watched it and didn't mind it as he had expected that to happen.

" Good evening Miss Natasha, I've read about your story as a single mother of how you raised a genius like your son", a man said looking at Natasha.

" Yeah... it was hard but he was helpful and understanding from the childhood so it helped too", Natasha answered hesitatingly.

" I understand, it must have been hard", another man nodded.

" Anyways, let's not get to that. Come join us there. We've got our wives who you both can converse with", those shrewd businessman were also using their brains to pull Natasha and Maya to their side and have some connections even if it be kitty type.

Zara pushed both Maya and Natasha from behind indicating them to go and meet the people of their age group.

With some difficulty they nodded and followed the men who took them to a group of elegantly dressed good looking middle-aged ladies. Some trophy wives were also there who looked classy, young and enticing but lacked the natural charm of a conservative and shy wife.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••

" Amira meet Ms. Natasha, she's the one I talked to you about. The single mother who raised one of the best in the nation. She's Ritik's mother and this here is Mrs. Maya, Shanaya's mother who is this year's national badminton runners up and Ritik's friend", one of the man introduced Natasha and Maya to the ladies present there.

" Oh.... that lady you praised so much, nice to meet you Ms. Natasha and Ms. Maya. Your children are quite a prodigy", the women answered with a fake smile while hiding an expression that clearly showed her husband that he never talked about them to her.

" Why don't everyone greet them, they might be the newest members of your small kitty group. They can actually bring quite some investment in your kitties you organise quite often", one of the other man who came behind announced to the ladies.

" Yeah, why isn't anyone welcoming them, they came to meet us themselves after all", some lady took the lead.

" Welcome Miss Natasha"

" Let me introduce you to everyone"

" Good evening Miss Maya"

" Come here let's talk about what we..."

As Natasha and Maya were introduced, they were flabbergasted to receive such response from those rich wives. It was actually a bit unreal for them to be received so expressively by the ladies but with Ritik's introduction a lot changed including the mindset those rich ladies looked at Maya and Natasha with.

•••••••••••••••••••••

Shanaya and Sania just looked with wide open eyes as the men took the Milfs to those ladies standing in the corner.

" Is it OK for them to go and talk to them directly?! What if they somehow disrespect them, they might get angry??", Shanaya asked as she was well aware of Maya's teasing nature.

Sania too gave Zara a questioning glance.

" They don't dare, believe me when I say that the people here even if look rich and posh don't dare cause ruckus and break relations with us. The people other than those standing in the front and being bootlicked by everybody doesn't need to be treated as equals. It's bad to be disrespectful in between the rich but respecting someone highly who's below us in status is also a taboo. There are some unwritten rules of greeting and talking among the rich. Don't worry you'll learn them with time", Zara gave an easy-peasy expression and signalled them to follow her.

Having no one to lean on other than Zara both Shanaya and Sania followed her.

In between the vigorous greetings of the crowd Zara took them to a side.

Several youngsters from teen to mid-twenties were present and talking while having some snickers and laughters in between.

" Woah!! look at who's here guys, none other than the real Seraglio members Zara, Sania and... what was your name... yes Shanaya it is", a guy announced in a bit of a mocking tone as if ridiculing the three girls of mine.

Shanaya and Sania got embarrassed at being introduced in such a way but Zara didn't flinch hearing the comment.

" I had told you not to make fun of me Or any other girl in such a way. I won't tell it to Ritik but if he hears even the slightest of your words then I'm not gonna save neither you nor your father's sorry ass", Zara said with a threatening glare.

" Oh come on shoot it, I'm just joking you know. Anyways, hello beautifies I am Aryan, the heir to the Oswol group and these are my friends.... (small introduction later)*"

" I am Shanaya, a badminton player who's trying to go international this year", Shanaya introduced a bit sheepishly contrast to her usual cheerful personality.

" I am Sania, a streamer and an e-sports player", Sania too introduced a bit more confidently than Shanaya as she already had some interviews giving her a good amount of confidence among rich.

" So a streamer and a player, I don't see anything special in them so he's just a trophy seeker. That means I do have a chance", a preety girl with whitish-brown skin and a beautiful S-shaped body said with a cunning and shrewd look.

" Wha... what do you mean by anything special", Shanaya retorted as her self-esteem was hit.

" I mean just what you think, anyways guys let's go upstairs. You too should join us Zara, don't hang out too much with someone so low who can't even talk without stuttering", She said with an arrogant glance at the two while giving Zara a proper smile.

Hahaha* hoho* hehe*

Laughter started as the girl made fun or Shanaya in front of everyone.

" Look Sania, someone with future no more than a trophy wife is calling two girls with proper careers trophies. Just how small someone's worldview can be", Shanaya said with a grin.

Haha*

Another streak of laughter but quite muter made the girl's expression ugly as even her own friends laughed at her ; albeit only a little.

" You really think you can forecast the future. Then tell me the price of my next shoe pair, wait a minute, you cannot, it's even out of your thinking limits haha*", the girl said and snickered lightly but that snicker turned to a burst of laughter as her friends supported it. Even Zara started laughing while hiding her lips behind her hand which made Shanaya's face turned sour.

" Your words are half true, I really can forecast the future and I can see it in bright day light it's... (putting her hands on her eyes) like this.. wait a minute why can't I see anything. Oh! nothing troubling it's just totally dark", Shanaya said with a mocking grin and an actual laughter broke out in between the crowd of posh dressed youngsters.

Even Zara who was just snickering could not stop herself and started laughing and Sania joined her too.

" You....", the girl could only point her finger at Shanaya with an agitated expression as it was actually almost impossible for a privileged girl to beat Shanaya in mocking.

" Don't fight now, we just came here to meet and have some interaction between the group of our age. Also, don't try to mock her you'll never win, I'm suggesting you in kindness", Zara came and hugged the girl from the side and said.

" OK-OK both of you new preety girls are welcomed. As you can see Zara is already our friend and we were just planning to go upstairs. We have our own little party going on there, would you like to join in??", a handsome guy clapped gaining attention and said so.

Everybody nodded and looked at Shanaya and Sania for their approval.

Zara looked at them and just nodded indicating them that it was alright.

They hesitated but agreed as they too looked forward to try the normal teenage things everybody enjoys in the rich circle.

The girl just looked at both the new beauties gaining attention with jealousy and a pout.
