19 party plan

Neha entered the apartment behind Armaan who entered it way before her.

When she entered the house, she saw a glimpse of Armaan and heard the door of his work room shutting behind him.

Neha was confused, but she guessed he might be annoyed of what she said.

She decided to make some coffee and reward herself some leisure time.

She recalled Armaan and Mr. Jeff's face when she answered him back and proved Armaan how much of a strong and independent she is by thoughts.

She wanted to show him that she can do things own her own, stand up for herselves and take care of things by her own. She wanted to show her that she doesn't need him.

She poured some coffee for in a cup and walked towards the glass window which opened to a balcony.

Wind intertwined her hair and made them move back and forth.

She looked down at the crowded yet beautiful city, kids running, couples holding hands and smiling to each other, "Lucky people" she smiled.

She always wanted that kind of love; holding hands, smiling to each other, taking care of and respecting each other, being fun.

She wanted love and friendship in one person.

But now she was stuck with someone whom she neither loved nor had a good friendship with.

She despised him with all her heart. Her heart was filled with nothing but hatred for him.

Even though small, but for her, what she did today was quite big of an achievement for her.

She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't realize that Armaan was standing right behind her.

"Good show today, huh?" he said, making Neha jump back to her senses.

She looked behind her "Hell yea!" she thought and smiled.

"Hmm…smile says it all" he said, coming right beside her, resting his hands on the edge of the balcony.

She looked at him surprised because he seemed so calm.

But storm was raging inside of him and she didn't know his ways of dealing with things like these.

They were extreme, and dangerous.

He straightened himself up and looked overat Neha.

A slight curve of his smile appeared on his face, the same  old devilish sime.

Yhe kind of smile he gave when he had plans, not so good.

He was walking back inside his room when suddenly he turned back and said, "Welll, we're celebrating your success. I'm hosting a party so, be ready by 7 SHARP!"

He got back inside his room leaving Neha surprised.

"What is he upto?" she thought.

Last time she went for a party with him, it didn't turn out well.

Her heart started hammering inside thinking of that day.

She knew she cant take anything like that on herseles.

Things were calm between them for now and she didn't want anything else.

She decided not to defy any rules now as she couldn't take things on her now.

She got back inside for room, preparing for the party.

Meanwhile Armaan's mind cooked ways to murder Neha's soul, yet again.

He was angry, frustrated by her replies. The way she looked at him when he said all those things, every time she looked at him was a slap on his face each time.

It made him feel like she didn't needed him. It felt like she could do better without his help and he couldn't acceptthat.

Well, that was the whole point of that. He wanted her to need him. He wanted her to scream for him, but she was doing everytging opposite than the way he wanted things to go.

Even after whatever he did to her, she couldn't think of any bad intentions from him today.
