Chapter 65

Part 65

"Neil, I don't want any of Pawan Singhania's property and I want to transfer everything to you because he snatched all your dad's property," she said, and he shook his head no.

"I don't need it, Sharanya I have more than enough with me, it's yours," he said. "I don't want it. I don't want any of his things. He is a devil." she replied, and then something struck her mind.

"I want to meet Pawan Singhania," she said, and his eyes shot up at her. "Why?" He asked and she raised her left eyebrow, "I am not answerable to you."

"Yeah, meet with him tomorrow as today is your birthday and Yashvi and Brinda Maa have planned a few surprises for you," he said to her. "I want to meet with him today only, Neil."

He sighed in defeat, "Fine ladki (girl), go and get ready. I will take you there."

________________

"Sharanya, you here to meet me, and I know it's your 19th birthday today, right?"His eyes widened as he saw his daughter approach.

Sharanya looked at the cell where he was leaving. It was dirty without any fan, but something caught her attention. It was the photo frame. It had the picture of her with Yashvi and Brinda.

"How come you transferred 70% of your property into my name?"Just because of you, I got death threats and just because of all this, Neil's mom wasn't with us "he looked down, not knowing what to say."

"You know da--Mr. Pawan Singhania, you destroyed your life with your own hands, just because of you, we all suffered," she said while tears rolled down his cheek.

"I know I did the worst, but you Yashvi and Brinda mean more to me than anything; I love you all," he said, wiping his own tears, which made her laugh.She unknowingly addressed him as "Dad," even though he knew he didn't deserve the title.

"Mr. Iyer was mom's step dad, but he was way better than you, and you don't deserve to be called dad." Even her eyes were filled with tears.

"If you want, you can punish me as well," he explained, "but I am not the one to punish you, Mr. Singhania."My Ayyiappa (God) is there and he will punish you. "

"Now do me a favour and take all your properties back because I don't need your dirty black money. I am happy in my own life." Her voice was cold yet stern.

"It's yours, you can do anything you want," he muttered, and she shook her head. "Fine then, if that's what you want, then I will use all your dirty and black money to make old age homes and orphanages. I hope just because of this you get a little forgiveness."

"I know what I did was an unforgivable sin, but please try to forgive me. I never thought bad about you." She didn't say anything and ran out as it was getting too much for her to handle.

"You okay?" He asked as soon as she sat in the passenger seat. "I am fine," she muttered, leaning her head back. He didn't ask anything further and drove off.

______________________________

She took a deep breath and splashed more water on her face. Her mood was dull after meeting with Pawan, but she had to be ready to meet with her family as they planned a surprise for her.

"You have to do this, Aanya," she said to herself, as she stripped and stepped inside the shower and sighed at the feeling of water cascading down her body, soothing her muscles. When she rubbed her body with the body wash, she felt his touch. Her fingers traced the hickeys which she had on her neck.

Why did his touch never feel wrong?

Why does she crave more and more of him?

She almost moaned when she touched herself down there, remembering the wonders he performed the night before."Stop touching yourself, Anya, and come out fast." She jumped, hearing his voice, and her heart started to beat wildly.

"Okay, I think you're looking for a camera, but I don't have one inside the restroom... it's just that I know you better than you know yourself, so now be a good biwi and come out fast," he said loudly, and she cursed under her breath and turned off the faucet.

Wearing her bathrobe, she came out to find him standing alone with only a table wrapping around his lower waist. With water droplets on his chest and wet hairs caressing his forehead. She followed the drop of water which travelled down from his neck to his toned chest to his abs and then disappeared under his towel. She so wanted to run her fingers over his toned chest. She wanted to feel it.

"Well, you can touch me if you want, I won't stop you Anya," he said, winking at her, and she shook her head, glaring at him, saying, "Get out of my room, I don't want to be late because of you."

"You aren't pregnant, right? I haven't even fucked you yet and you still have these weird dangerous mood swings. "She stomped her feet in frustration hearing his words."

He chuckled and said, "Okay, I am going. Here is your outfit, your footwear, and purse," and he left after showing her everything.

_____________________

He looked up and his breath hitched, seeing the beauty walking towards him. Her naturally straight hair was left open with a few tendrils caressing her face. Her face didn't have much makeup, just a little bit of cheek tint and highlighter highlighting her cheek bones. Her eyes had neutral shade just to give the natural look, but the red lipstick on her lips was tempting him. He so wanted to kiss the hell out of her. He wasn't able to see those hickeys or her nupital chain on her neck because of her high neck. Her maroon one-piece outfit fit her perfectly, and the diamond studs on her ears and black pumps on her feet completed the look.

Stop it now, Neil. "Duniya mein wapas aajao (back to earth)", she shook his arm, bringing him back to reality.

___________________________

He smiled as he saw her happy, talking with her sister and mother, giggling and laughing, and looking like the most beautiful girl in the world at times.

His palm curled into a fist when he saw Avin talking with her. He freaking wanted to punch Avin right there, but wait, Avin was just talking to her. Still, he didn't want it. He didn't want her to talk to him. Heck, he didn't want him near her.

"Avin ko punch karne ka dil kar raha haina?" (You want to punch Avin, right?) " He turned to his left to find Ishaan standing there. "Pyaar karta hai Sharanya se (You love Sharanya right?)" he chuckled and kept staring at Sharanya, who was busy clicking some pictures with Arisha and Yashvi..

"Are you angry with me, Neil?" Ishaan asked, and he turned towards him, "Of course not, why would I? It's just that the friendship we shared at university has changed now, "Neil answered."

"Neil, I'm sorry I didn't trust you—" he cut in short, "It's okay, I know you didn't trust me because you were also concerned about Sharanya, and it was difficult for you to believe Pawan did something like that."

But I am glad you didn't turn like Anusha I was a fool to trust her. "She was my first best friend in university, and my biggest mistake was including her in my plans," Neil explained.

"Neil, sorry to ask, but is that true that you didn't marry Anusha and it was just a fake drama?" he asked, making Neil chuckle..

"Well, the marriage was a total drama, a fake one and I am glad that I never had any feelings for her. I helped her and fulfilled her dreams of making her one of the top fashion designers in India, but she back stabbed me." Neil said, "Anyways, let's forget about all this." Ishaan chuckled at him.

He reached out his hand."If you turn like a bastard psycho again, then I won't take a second to shoot you," Neil said with a fake threat, and then they both giggled out loud.

______________________

"Arisha, I am really very sorry for everything and I know my sorry isn't enough, but can you please give me a chance? I promise I will make it up to you," he said, desperately holding her hand, which she jerked harshly.

"1 year and two months." He looked up, hearing her words. "I gave you one year and two months, Avin, but you never cared for me and you told me most of the time that I was just a liability to you, then why do you want a chance right now?"

"You were never a liability, Arisha," he said, shaking his head no. "You yourself called me liability, Avin, and not once. You called me that name. You never cared for me or my feelings towards then. Why now? I left everything right. I gave you the freedom. Then why are you so desperate now? "

"Please Arisha i---" she interrupted in between, "No Avin, not again. You've broken my heart and now it can never be the same. Please let me leave in peace." Now he had nothing to say as she walked away, joining everyone at the party..

__________________________

He cut the cake and fed her mother, then Yashvi and Arisha. He knew she wouldn't feed him, so he walked to the balcony, leaving her alone with her family.

He had made a plan to tell her everything. To tell her all these truths, he was going to give her a choice because he wanted to know whether she also wanted to live with him or not. The news he got about her and then the letter in her college bag was still disturbing him, but he composed himself. It's her life. She could do anything she wanted.

Taking a deep breath, he gazed at the stars. Just then, he heard her voice, "Neil?" He turned to hear his beauty calling her.

"Yea..yeah?" He asked.

"Here is the cake for you." She thrust the plate which had a piece of cake. He couldn't help but smile, taking the plate from her, "First you take a bite." He brought the cake near to her lips and she took a bit.

He choked on her words and began coughing violently, and she was ready to pour ice cold water on his plan.

"Shitt, what happened? You okay?" she asked, while he wasn't even in a state to answer as he felt the cake stuck in his throat. "Come with me." She took him inside the room and made him sit.

"What happened to him?" Neil asked. "Cake stuck in his throat," Sharanya answered, forwarding him a glass of water. He drank it, taking a deep breath.

"Arisha, can we talk?" She asked, startling her. "Sure," Arisha nodded, "

"Come with me," Sharanya said, and she nodded as they both went to the balcony.

"Yeah, Sharanya says?" Her voice was soft.

"Are you angry with me?" Sharanya asked, "Why should I?" She questioned him back.

"I know that things aren't good between you and Avin, and Avin had---" she cut in short.

"Look Sharanya "Firstly, I am not blaming you because it's not your fault. Don't think that I am angry with you or anything. Avin felt something for you very pure, which he never felt for me and I didn't want to become a burden on him, so I left his house." Arisha answered to Sharanya softly.

"But you know, I don't feel anything for him and I know you feel for him. I can see it in your eyes," Sharanya said, making her chuckle. "That was before, but now everything has changed," Arisha said.

"You are mature enough to know what is good for you and what is not. He is trying "Give him one chance, maybe this time he will prove himself," Sharanya said.

"Anyway, leave all this. It's your birthday today. Let's enjoy," Arisha said, trying to divert the topic.

"Think about yourself, love, forget everything and move on to enjoy your life," Sharanya said, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "I could say the same thing to you. Think about yourself. Give Neil a chance because your happiness relies on him." and Arisha left, leaving Sharanya flabbergasted.

Sharanya's pov.

What did Arisha just say? Giving Neil a chance?

Was I ready for it? No, I could never be.

Come on, Sharanya Stop thinking about him. You are both toxic to each other.

We aren't even compatible, just minus the sexual encounters between us, and we are nothing. Don't think about Arisha's words; it's better to get a divorce.

From Neil

You aren't staying here tonight.

I looked up, glaring at him.

From Neil

I have a surprise for you, Sharanya. Don't pour cold water on it.

I didn't say anything.

From Neil

It takes only a few seconds to reply.

To Neil

I am staying here tonight, and it's final.

From Neil

Wait, why? Listen, you can stay with your mom and sister tomorrow, okay, but not tonight, please.

I didn't reply to him back. ughh Sharanya, just maintain distance and it would be better for you. During the time of dinner, I didn't talk with him and savoured the dishes made by Maa, but waited when I looked opposite to find him just playing with his food.

Now what happens to this pregnant man?

Anyway, let's concentrate..

From Neil

Have fun with your maa and sister, and we'll see you soon.

And he left after bidding bye to everyone except me. (lol) He didn't even glance at me.. it's good for us only after all.
