Chapter 54

"Neil, Baccha, what happened to your

head?" As soon as he stepped inside his penthouse, his mother inquired.

He smiled at her then replied, "Nothing major, just a small injury."

"It's not insignificant, bohot dard ho raha hoga na (does it hurt too much na")"

He cupped her cheeks and said "Bilkul nahi maa, it's not hurting at all, I am totally fine"and kissed her forehead..

"Accha, have you finished your dinner?"He asked and she nodded, "I was waiting for you."

"Ok, no problem. Let me get freshened up, then we'll have our dinner together," to which she nodded yes.

A few days later,

Neil's POV.

"Happy Holi Maa," I said as I daubed some colour on her cheeks."Maa see, I brought sweets for you," Priyank said as she handed her the box, smiling and applying the little colours to our cheeks.

We touched her feet and took blessings from her. And she fed us sweets. Kaash Sharanya yahan hoti (I so wanted Sharanya to be here with us).

"Today we'll cook breakfast together for Maa," announced "Yes, why not?" I agreed with Priyank. "Neil, as far as I know, you are going to college fest." Maa asked, making me smile.

"I'll go later, maa, it's us time now," I said, and she nodded smiling. Thank you God. I just want this peaceful smile on her face.

"You sit here, we're cooking for you," Prii said, and Maa sat on the chair as we cut the vegetables while giggling, talking, and laughing.

"Neil, why did you say that day that you were Brinda's daughter's culprit?" Her sudden question took me off guard. "And I think I saw that girl earlier also." She actually forgot that she attacked Sharanya.

"Maa I kidnapped Brinda Maa but she wasn't at fault, so in this way I became her culprit right, "I said, trying to make her understand." I couldn't say that I was married to her because it would affect her health.

She nodded, still unsatisfied by my answer, and we continued cooking. Just then, my phone rang. "Hello?" It was a landline number.

"Hello, Neil Brinda here!!" I was shocked. Why did she call me? I walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Yes, anything important?"

"Neil, it's holi today and I want to meet with your maa. Can you drop her here?" I wasn't expecting her to say that her voice was stern and rude. I knew she hated me after what I did with her daughter, but I also knew she was my Maa's best friend.

"I am not a fool Neil, I won't say anything to her because she is just getting well, and one thing, I know you are the sponsor of the college fest, so don't you dare to trouble my Sharanya," she cuts me off.I laughed when I heard her last few words.

"I won't, Brinda Maa," I promised."Ok, then drop your mother here" and she hung up the call.

"Maa, want to meet your best friend?" I asked as I stepped inside the kitchen. "You mean Brinda?" She asked if I could feel the little excitement.

"Yes," I answered, nodding my head. "Of course I would love to," she answered. "Ok, then after breakfast I'll drop you there." She nodded.

Finally, we were done making her favourite Indian breakfast. We had it together. It felt like home now, but there was something left without Sharanya.

Priyank went to enjoy a Holi party with his friends, and I dropped mom at Avin's residence. Sharanya and Yashvi weren't there as they had already left for college.

"Damnn Neil Ahuja is coming today."

"He is so hot and handsome."

"His one look aur maine toh bass faint hojana hai"

Sharanya was getting irritated by their talk about Neil. "If you're done daydreaming about Neil Ahuja, then help me, there are still arrangements left," she said, becoming irritated with them.

"Girl, you don't know how handsome he is," one girl said, while Sharanya made a bad face.

Neil was better known to The Girl than to the rest of you.Anyways, "I am not interested. If you want, then help me; otherwise, just fuck off." She shouted angrily at them.

"Sharanya "I hope all the arrangements are done now. Our sponsor will be here anytime," the principal said, looking here and there. "Yes sir, everything is done," she answered.

"Neil Ahuja is here," she said, as she saw everyone running towards the entrance. "Sharanya, you have to welcome him with this bouquet," the principal said, giving the flower bouquet to her.

"Sure sir," she answered and walked towards the exit after taking the bouquet from him.

He stepped out and wore his shades while the girls went gaga over him seeing him in a white kurta and pajamas. His hair gelled nicely with Gucci loafers adorning his feet.

Sharanya saw him after two days. There was a small band-aid just two inches up from his left eyebrow. His hair was nearly gelled but two strands were caressing his forehead. The sleeves of his white kurta were rolled up to his elbow while the veins of his arm were highlighted. She couldn't see his eyes as he was wearing sunglasses.

"Welcome sir," Sharanya said, forwarding the bouquet to her, which he gladly accepted a little shamelessly as his finger touched hers. She immediately pulled her hand back.

Neil smirked, knowing his effects on her. His eyes wandered over her face, which had little makeup with a red tint shining on her lips. Shiitt, he so wanted to kiss those lips. It's been more than 12 days since he hadn't tasted her.

His eyes moved a little down to her jaw to neck and a frown washed over him. She wasn't wearing the nupital chain but when his eyes followed her left hand, he found the nupital chain present there with red bangles hiding it. She was wearing a white flared pant and a white tight kurti with a deep neck which was highlighting her curves, and a red duppata was the cherry on top which was hanging on her shoulders.

Her earrings were shining while her open hair was teasing her face. "Mr. Ahuja, please come inside." The principal said shitt he was zoned out for a few minutes.

Nodding, he walked ahead just then Sharanya also turned and her back came into view as she walked away.. Her kurti was indeed a deep neck with a string tied at the back of her pale white skin.. Sexy

______________

His eyes weren't leaving hers as she was talking with Yashvi and a few other girls. They were trying to apply colours, but she wasn't letting them.

Wait? It's his right to apply colours to her first and not some other person. Ugh, but how? He was sitting there with some board members.

Suddenly, an idea clicked in his mind. He called that principal, "Mr. Batra called Miss Iyer and told her to show me the full decoration and arrangements."

The personal nodded and called Sharanya by name. "Anything important, sir?" She asked that principal. "Sharanya shows Mr. Ahuja the full decorations and arrangements."

Why did she, why did she have to show him the decorations like why?'Because you are the volunteer of it" Her heart answered smirking at her..

"Shall we, Miss Iyer?" She didn't even realise that he was standing close to her, towering over her. She nodded and walked ahead, with Neil following her behind.

She was telling him about the decorations, and this time he listened to her keenly and found that she was very creative. Anyways, he had to apply colour to her, but how?

He smirked as he grabbed the plate of red, which she didn't notice. Looking here and there, he held her right arm and dragged her into the vacant corner, making her gasp at this sudden move.

"Sir you—"

"Ssshh, don't say anything, wifey, let me paint you."Her eyes widened at hearing his words. "Ughh no no Neil, I hate colours please," she said, shaking her head. "But it's my right to paint you Sharanya," he said, leaning dangerously close to her.

He took the red powder in his right palm and rubbed it on his cheeks while she was looking at him in shock. Was this man getting mad? Well, he was already mad!!

She leans closer to her as their breaths mingle and their nose touches each other's.. She shut her eyes tightly and felt something rough rubbing against her cheeks.. opps it's his beard. He was rubbing his cheeks against hers.. Her body erupted with goosebumps and her heart started to beat at jet speed.

She sighed audibly as he rubbed the colours on her neck too. Her jaw and her knees started to turn jelly, but he was already holding her. "Happy Holi Sharanya," he whispered and spun her around, pinning her on the wall with her cheeks pressing against the wall and her back in view. He took the colour in his palms again and started to rub it on her back. She knew she was getting turned on and it was way too much.

Leaning close, he whispered "You are looking beautiful today." Placing a kiss on her ear, he moved back and left, leaving her breathless.

She was zoned out for a few minutes, leaning against the wall trying to catch some breath. Just then she heard one of her classmates calling her...

__________________

Neil was searching for her, but she was nowhere to be seen. He heard Yashvi and Sharanya's talk when Yashvi informed her that she was going somewhere with Ishaan and told Sharanya to call the driver when she was done with the holi party.

After that, he wasn't able to spot her.. ughhh where was this little girl gone?

He looked around, trying to find her, until he heard giggling. Okay, but where was she?He only realised this was her voice after taking a few more steps and finding her sitting under the table, laughing and giggling. Why was she acting this way?

The realisation hit him hard that she had bhaang shitt. He held her hand and made her stand. "Hello Brown-Eyed Monster," she giggled and leaned on him. "This world is moving round and round, My God."

"You had bhaang?" He giggled at hearing him. "No, I had thick curd milk. It was a tasty and sweet drink, just like a lassi," she said, licking her lips. "How many glasses do you have?" He asked to see her state. She giggled at hearing him. He pulled her, she said, showing her two fingers and about to leave to get another glass from her.

"That wasn't a sweet drink or lassi, that was bhaang," he said, and she pouted. "Then I want to have one more glass of bhaang," she said in a duh tone.

His eyes scanned her from head to toe and discovered her completely drenched in water, her white kurta sticking to her body like a second skin, and her black inner was visible from behind.

He was getting angry seeing her fully drenched and some unwanted thoughts dawned on him. What if some horny bastards saw her like this? No, he couldn't let that happen.

"Yeah, come at the back side of the college," he said, pulling out his phone.

Picking up her phone, which was lying on the ground, he stuffed it in his pocket and somehow dragged her to the back side of the college. Luckily no one saw them. His palm was placed on her mouth as he didn't want her to shout..

"Leave me alone, you evil devil," she said quietly.And soon the driver stopped the car at the back. He opened the door and made her sit inside while he himself got in. He quickly took his coat, which was there in the car, and wrapped it around her as he didn't want anyone to see her like this.

Taking her to her mom would be a bad idea as she was high and his mom was also present there at her place, so he chose to take her to his penthouse.
