Chapter 66

Part 66

Neil's pov.

I puffed the cigarette while staring at the decoration which I did for her and she just poured cold water on it. Wow, like wow, this was the first time I did something special for a girl who didn't even care.

Wait, why was I even expecting this?

Oh yes, you are expecting her to come to you and kiss you hard. Oh my Romeo, you did so much for me. My subconscious mock.. what the fuck? I literally expected her to smile at me, but she

It's okay Neil, take a deep breath and calm down. You didn't mean anything to her, okay? Her family comes first for her, and it's totally okay. You are not even on her priority list.

"Mom dad, did you see I did so much for a girl for the first time and she just didn't care at all," I said as I stood on the terrace, staring at the stars.

Yeah, I know you both are laughing seeing your son like this. I baked a cake. I made her favourite Mint Mojito drink. I cooked white sauce pasta and not to forget chocolate pudding. I decorated the terrace with fairy lights and cushions. I wanted to say so many things to her. I wanted to confess my feelings for her. Anyways, leave it."

My phone rang as I lay down on the floor, smoking out the cigarette.I quickly grabbed it, thinking the caller was Sharanya, but it was Piyush.

"Yeah, say?" I was totally pissed off.

Yeah, I know about it. I didn't forget. I already told Paras to make the jet ready. "Yeah, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning." I hung up the call, sighing. Damn, Why Sharanya? Leave it to Neil, and stop acting like a roadside Romeo.

Sharanya's pov.

"Just see he did all this for you," Piyush said, showing the terrace as we were doing the face time.

"And just so you know Sharanya, he didn't order any of his changu mangus; he did it all by himself," he added.

He did this for me, but why? Who told him to do all this mehnat?

"Sharanya, one more thing, you are the only girl in his life; he has never felt anything for anyone before, but now he has started feeling for you, and I am 100% sure he loves you," he said, and this conversation made me uneasy.He loved me. It didn't go well with me. Neil confessed so many times that he loved me, but I wasn't able to trust him.

Um Piyush, I'll talk to you later. Okay, just send my books and---" he cuts me off in the middle. "Bhai has already packed your outfits and books." I nodded then hung up the call after bidding him bye.

He left for New York this morning because of some important meetings and all, and he didn't care to inform me.

"Oh yeah, now stop blaming him. He tried to tell you the previous night about it and also made arrangements, but you just ignored him." My subconscious mocked me.

It's okay I don't care. I am happy that I will be living here for 10 days. Should I just call him once? No, I shouldn't be. Let's just drop a message

To Neil

You didn't tell me that you were leaving for New York.

I spent the whole day with Maa and Yashvi. We had a girl's day out, first shopping, then lunch, but I kept checking my phone but I didn't get any reply. It's not that I was expecting him to reply..

We three settled into Yashvi Dii's room after dinner as we planned to watch a movie together, kind of a movie night.

I kept checking my phone with a gap of one minute, not concentrating on the shit which was going on on TV..

Hufff Sharanya, stop behaving like a desperate bitch I placed my phone aside and tried hard to concentrate on the TV but failed. Just then, my phone beeped with a message.

I grabbed my phone in haste and opened the message. The fuck it wasn't from Neil..

I put my phone aside, being disappointed, and stared at the TV. I didn't even know which movie my mother and sister were watching..

10 days later,

It's been an hour since he reached his territory after 10 days. He didn't even go to his apartment to change because of workload. He was with his staff discussing some projects.

It's been 10 days since he didn't talk with her. Though he received her message on the first day, he chose to ignore it because he knew she wanted a break from all this and also that one thought was eating his mind..

"Bhai, you go and freshen up na, then we'll discuss further." It was the 10th time Piyush said the same words to him..

"Piyush, tell me what your problem is. Why are you behaving so weirdly today? Can't you see it's important?" Neil scolded his younger brother.

"Sir, he isn't saying anything wrong. You should go and change. Then we'll discuss further. You just came back after a long, hectic flight," Farhaan said.

He agreed as he was having a little headache and wanted to rest for some time.

He walked in, talking with one of his business delegates, and sat on the couch, leaning his head back after cutting the call.

Work, then a long and hectic flight, then work. "Welcome back, Mr. Ahuja." His eyes snapped open at hearing her voice. She was just standing a few feet away from him.

"You here?" He uttered out as he wasn't really expecting her here.

"Were you expecting any other secret wife of yours?" She turned back, walking towards him.

"Naah, but I wasn't expecting you either." She chuckled at his words and sat on his lap with her legs on either side.

When did she become so daring?Or is it because of sangat ka asar? "he questioned to himself."

"What are you doing here, Sharanya?" He asked. "You tell me why didn't you reply to my message?" She asked.

"Were you expecting a reply from me, huh? He inquired, and she leaned in close, her hands cupped around his neck."Is that even a question?" she muttered, her thumb finger of her right hand rising up to rub his lower lip.

"I gave you your much needed time," he said, and she smiled. "You look cute when you talk softly," she muttered. "And you look sinfully hot when you are in your monster mode, though sometimes it's scary," she whispered, chuckling, then her lips descended on his, taking him off guard..

These days, all the unexpected things are happening with him alone. "Can you just stop acting like a sanyasi and respond to me back?" she asked in between, but something struck him: this wasn't the time for all of this; he needed an answer to the thoughts that were eating at him.

"Anya wait," he said, breaking the kiss and staring at her."What happened?" She asked, leaning close to him, pressing kisses on his cheek and jaw. "Sharanya, first listen to me," he tried to say, ignoring the pleasure he was getting from this little seductress .

"I am listening," she whispered, pressing a kiss on his chin. "Sharana, STOP YAAR, STOP BEHAVIOR LIKE A HORNY," he paused in the middle of a deep breath.

She flinched at his loud voice but composed herself. "Wait, why did you stop? "Complete your sentence, call me a bitch," she said, standing on her feet.

"Sharanya, it's---" she showed her palm.. "Go fuck yourself, and if you come close to me Neil, ughh I will kick you where the sun doesn't shine," she yelled as she entered the room.

She knew that she hurt him that day. He did so much for her and she just ignored him. Then Yashvi and Ishaan made her understand about Neil. She was somewhat certain now that he loved her truly, but she was confused about her feelings for him. It was 100% sure that she was freakingly sexually attracted to him, but she didn't know about her other feelings, but still thought to give it a try, and then when she wanted to surprise him to make it up for him, here he shouted at her. Wasn't it humiliating?

"Sharanya listen," he said, walking behind her. She was enraged, and he knew it.

"At least let me explain," he said, stepping inside the kitchen with her. "Just fuck off and stop behaving like a dickhead." Okay, now she went overboard and it angered him.

He held her arms, pinning her on the kitchen counter. "If I am being nice to you, that doesn't mean you will start behaving like a brat." His voice was low yet dangerous while the hold on her arm tightened, which made her hiss.

"Wow, you have the audacity to say this, huh?" She pushed him, yelling at him. "You're upset about something minor, but tell me what you did, huh?"This made her confused. "What did I do?" She couldn't comprehend whether the question was for him or for herself.

"Stop acting like an idiot, I saw that fucking acceptance letter from California University!" he yelled, making her shiver.

"Now say, why didn't you tell me about it? Okay fine, it's your life, you can do anything you want. Afterall, we are getting a divorce, but still you got the letter the previous month, and you didn't inform me about it, "he shouted again."

"You invaded my wardrobe?" she asked, making him laugh. "I found out through your principal, then I found your letter," he explained.

Sharanya Iyer is such a bright student; she got 99.7 percent. That's why she got the chance to study at California University." he shouted again, mimicking the words the principal had said to him.

"I have dreams Neil, but I can't pass up this opportunity," she said, taking a deep breath. "Tell me what you expect from me, huh?"You want me to just stay here and obey all your demands and behave like a fucking house wife. "

"Don't you think you are going overboard, Sharanya? When did I tell you to be a house wife? "It's your life, and you have every right to pursue your dreams and--" she interrupted him, yelling.

"Then why are you overreacting Neil huh? "I didn't find it that important to inform you," she said, though her words didn't go well with him.

"You didn't think it was important, dammit; it's about 3—" he exhaled deeply."Fine, as you already decided everything, so just come after 4 months and sign the divorce papers, then we'll be done," he said, going to the gym room.

2 days later,

"Can we just sit and talk like grownups, Neil? I'm so tired of this fighting shit," she grumbled, and he looked up at her.

"It's my office and not our home, Sharanya," he said. "Neil, stop behaving like a jerk!" she shouted, and he got up from the chair.

I am behaving like a jerk. So I'm a jerk, and why should you care?We're getting divorced right now, so you don't need to poke your nose into my fucking business.. you know what, I'm so over you.. tell me why you're here, huh?"You are leaving for California next week, then go do shopping, check your visa, passport, and your tickets. Why are you wasting your time here?" he shouted, while she just gaped at his face. He was sounding like an angry kid.

"Neil, calm down," she said softly. "What do you mean, calm down, calm down?"You are just leaving. You didn't tell me anything shitt. You already said that you didn't find it important to tell me why I am even expecting. I think I should just ask why the fuck you are still here. "His continuous blabbering was cut as her lips descended on his, taking her off guard.
