I am not a gentleman by Harshavardhan C (top 100 books of all time checklist TXT) 📖

only a sensitive heart which only knows you as a true lover and a handsome hubby. And I still love you as my dream boy of yester years; and a good companion too, besides a romantic husband. But I am sorry to say that I hate to continue remaining part of my life with you any more with half heartedly at this age Mr. Raj.

Now at this age only I have come to know your indigenous character; as you apparently exhibit some gentle qualities and make people impressed and that is how I totally succumb to your love believing it to be true, but inside you are something else which nobody knows, expect only when you are totally exposed, as for instance in my case. Even for me also it has taken nearly thirty years to understand what exactly you are.

And I remember that you have warned me to choose in between your much hatred Dr. He-man and my daughter’s future; and you have also given me time frame; and just to judge a good thing I need not waste my precious time anymore; and I have decided and I truly stand on my belief and faith in true love.

I have believed my daughter’s true love, unlike your need based love and possibility of lust. I have highest respects to Mr. Gentleman, whom I admire more than a God, and I am happy to welcome the son of such a noble man as my son in law; and I do feel heart fully that I have chosen a right decision and I am taking my daughter and my son in law with me to my Empire, built by a nobleman, Mr. Gentleman.

And I Hope you understand what I mean Mr. Raj. Henceforth I expect and confirm that you will never step into our Holy Kingdom of ‘May I help you’

I thank you for living together with me for thirty years, with mixed feelings and with umpteen doubts regarding my conduct and character.

But, Mr. Gentleman did believe you and repose highest confidence in your conduct and character besides your love. And for that matter me too. And today if he is alive, he will forever lose faith and confidence in earthly love.

Now I am happy to say good bye to you Mr. Raj. And it has not come from my lips, but from the bottom of my heart. Now I think I am absolutely right in saying good bye to you forever Mr. Raj” She broke out with all her emotional feelings whether good or bad.

Mr. He-man tried to cajole both the couple, but in vain. So also Mrs. Honey tried to bring harmony between her parents by admitting that she did a mistake for not convincing her father. For which she offered unconditional apology to her father. Even then also the stone hearted Mr. Raj didn’t show any amount of love and affection towards her.

“Still do you believe him Honey? Do you think that your father has noble heart and warm affection towards you? You only know him since your birth, but I know him ever since my college days. Perhaps you might have seen his external appearances and assessed him as a nobleman. But I know him from top to bottom including his selfish, corrupt and crime mind also.

My child you don’t know he even suspects me, whether I have conceived you through him or through Gentleman? He may even plan to send both of you for DNA test, perhaps which may be his final hope and sincere attempt to separate you from your husband dear” She exposed him in their presence.

“I say stop it Jasmine. Don’t spoil the ears of my daughter. She is truly my daughter and she never says no to my verdict. I have belief in my brought up. Honey you have bright future, don’t believe them. Please disown them and come back to me. I will send you abroad for higher education, and find a suitable match for you dear” Mr. Raj tried his best to convince his daughter.

“Honey don’t be carried away by his unethical and impractical advices. It only speaks about his narrow mind. No parent in this universe will ever advise either the bride or the bridegroom to break up their marriage bond. And no true love or lover ever part with in bridal dress soon after their marriage.

And in fact you are the newly married couple and have come to take his blessings, but not his bargains for break- up. Hope you understand your dad in reality Honey. And further you both are majors and now the final decision is yours” Mrs. Jasmine gave them a lead.

They understood the facts, as explained by Mrs. Jasmine point blank.

“Come on Honey, believe me and don’t spoil your bright future, please leave them and follow my advice” Dr. Raj tried to convince her.

“Sorry dad, it is quite unbecoming of any parent in the world to advise the newly wedded couple to break up. If your decision is really correct in my case, then why have you loved my mum and married her against the will and wish of my grandparents? Why have you disowned them? Is it not to protect your love and marry my mum dad?

I am sorry to point out you that there can’t be two questions for the same answer dad. I don’t expect one rule for my dad and a separate rule for me. And in fact I have never expected that my dad would turn to be a criminal only to make me a widow”

“I am sorry my child, somebody might have poisoned your ears, and perhaps that may be the reason why you have misunderstood me”

“Let me speak Honey, I am sorry for the interruption sir. While purchasing jewellery for Honey, our vehicle was missing from the parking place, as two boys committed theft of; and hence we engaged a call taxi to attend resistor’s office to solemnise my marriage with Honey. Fortunately myself and my mum are saved and the unfortunate boys died on the spot, because of the ghastly accident, I mean a cold blooded murder, intelligently planned by you sir. But still you are shedding crocodile tears for your only daughter; and go on advising her for her bright future. What a wonderful hypocrisy yours is sir? It is quite unfair and unbecoming of an expert doctor, who is supposed to save lives of the patient’s and not to murder people sir” Mr. He - man reminded him of his crime.

“Sorry dad if you still feel that I have committed a mistake, I prefer to do wrong for the right cause. Good bye forever dad”

“Please try to understand my concern about your future Honey”

“What great future is that dad? Does any bride ever discard her hubby on the day of the marriage? How can I desert my husband, and show my face to public dad? And even after desertion of my husband also do you hope that I will have great future? And the people are not blind, and we are in the 21st century to accept whatever you advocate is gospel truth dad. Do you expect me to discard my hubby and remain in your house as servant maid? Or do you expect me to remain as statue in the centre of the society for public to split on? Or do you except me to leave behind the story of myself being an unethical, untraditional and a coward and a pretty poor girl’s love marriage in the most educated and aristocratic family of doctors?

Enough dad; and thanks for your brought up for all through these years and finally enlightening me dad. And I try my best to forget you forever dad” With broken heart she said finally.

And then the couple left him and joined Mrs. Jasmine.

Mrs. Jasmine took both Honey and her son in law Mr. He-man along with her and deserted Mr. Raj; and left his home for the Empire created by Mr. Gentleman.

But still her son in law was trying his best to unite his in laws, as his father tried earlier before his death.

“I am sorry my boy, perhaps I was so young then, and failed to convince your dad. And that might be one of the grave omissions I have ever made; and I did not cry for natural justice; and that was the reason why I failed miserably to save a noble soul; and the world must feel sorry to lose such a noble man.

But now I never give a chance to anybody and lose you. I request you, rather command you to remain as a gentleman with all your principles, but not like your father, who always did well for everyone without caring for himself. Perhaps he did not know the fact that there is no place for such noble people in this selfish world”

Tears rolled in her eyes and she virtually wept, but tried her best to hide her heart felt feelings and human emotions by keeping a handkerchief across her mouth.

“But he has won not only your heart aunty; but now I hope umpteen with his noble and generous character, when they read not a page in his dairy, but through my mum’s book ‘I am not a gentleman”, the history of two billionaire families” Mr. He- man concluded.

Then all the three left in their car.

Dr. Raj became stale for a moment, as he never expected, nor thought that Mrs. Jasmine would part with him at once, and due to her one and the only daughter’s cause.

Though initially, he just felt sad over the developments. But later after some time, he remained in the materialistic world as a symbol of typical human being with all his selfishness, having all passions and emotions and without any feelings.

And he never looked back nor tried at least for reconcilement. Instead he started planning for his future with a new partner, even at the age of fifty plus.

Now his priority was to search for a substitute lady doctor in place of Mrs. Jasmine, who might be a spinster; and now his thoughts were revolving round her, as who would be a perfect substitute. If not Dr. Jasmine, but someone meant a new and an awesome spinster to start his second innings, forgetting his age.

Now the world should feel pity as who would be the next Lady Doctor to fall a prey for a selfish old man, and of course a spinster to marry him.

And blessed are men stronger than women with sound physique; but the latter were doubly stronger than men to take wise decisions.

 

Chapter: 38

Dr. Jasmine brought the newly wedded couple to the Gentleman towers.

“My dear friends and colleagues of GM group of companies, I am happy to introduce Dr. He-man, the son and heir apparent of late Mr. Gentleman and henceforth he will be your new chairman and MD; and I have relinquished my position as CEO; and my daughter Mrs. Honey, the fiancée and beloved wife of Mr. He-man will assist him as PS; and Mr. Ram will step down as chairman and MD of the GM group of companies due to his health problems and take rest; and all the family members of late Mr. Gentleman will constitute the board of directors. Mr. He-man will appoint a new CEO as per his requirement.

Thank you my dear colleagues for your cooperation and dedicated services you rendered to the GM group of companies all through these years.

And now I finally request all of you to extend the same cooperation to the new and young team and work hard to take the GM group to number one in the world”

She handed over the reins of the GM group of Business Empire to Mr. He-man; and she let for her dream cum true project ‘May I help you’
