CHAPTER-8

Misti's POV -

Party was almost over and half of my family members and relatives already left for their house.  

Arnab came to me and said "Goodbye."

 I said to him, "But you want to say something.." before I could complete my sentence, Ma said to me, "Misti come here your grandfather is leaving."

 I looked at him and before I could say anything he said to me, "I will call you tomorrow then I will tell you. I have to leave now, my mother is waiting for me at home."  

 "Ok. Take care. Good night," I said to him. 

 After that, I joined my grandfather and took blessings from him, and also said goodbye to my other family members. 

 The party was over only Archana; Ronita and Tulika were staying at my home for a sleepover.

 Malhotra's uncle was also staying at my home, he would stay for a minimum of five-six days, we all loved his company. He has not connected with his family members anymore. We were his family now.

I went to my room, Archana, Ronita, Tulika, and Sristi were already waiting for me in my room.

All of them had a curious look in their eyes and I knew that they would bug me till I told them what happened between me and Arnab today.

As soon as I sat on the edge of my bed, Archana looked at me and said, “Now spill girl..”

I just simply rolled my eyes and Archana said to me again, “Missy do not roll your eyes and spill fast, we are waiting for long.”

“And who told all of you that I am going to tell you anything,” I said to them and again rolled my eyes.

“Hey, Di it’s not fair,” Sristi said to me.

“If I do not want to say it, what will you all do?” I asked them and winked at them.

Sristi looked at me and smirked at me, I knew this gesture very well, I could smell trouble.

“Sristi what did you do this time?” I asked her.

“Nothing Di, I just thought you may want to see Arnab Da’s gift,” Sristi said to me.

“Sristi ….” I screamed at her.

“Where is my gift?” I asked them all.

“Which gift?” Archana asked me with a fake innocent smile.

I knew that they were all together in this. I did not need enemies when I had these types of friends and sisters I thought in my mind.

“I am asking for the gift, which Arnab gifted me,” I said to them very clearly.

“Try to find it yourself, if you want our help then speak first, we need all information,” Ronita said to me.

“Ronita, you also joined them!!” I said to her.

“Sorry but I want to know about my friend's love story, so I am with them in this,” Ronita said to me.

“We all are waiting,” Archana, Sristi, and Tulika said in unison.

I finally gave up and said “Okay, I will tell you all what happened today but I need my gift first.” and crossed both my arms over my chest and looked at them.

“Ok, I will give it to you,” Archana said to me, and fifteen minutes later they handed over the gift to me.

I opened the gift and it was actually two books from two of my favorite author, I opened one of the books and smelled it, I loved the smell of new books. And I saw a small note written on a small card,

“Happy Birthday Darling!!! Love from your Handsome.” 

I blushed and glanced around, all four were looking at me and they all had a teasing expression on their faces, I lowered my gaze and blushed even deeper.

“Now, do not blush like a new bride..,” Archana said to me in a teasing tone.

“Shut up,” I said to her.

After that, I told them that today Arnab expressed that he had feelings towards me but he did not get the chance to express it completely at the party because at the party we did not get our alone time. I also told them Arnab did not finish his sentence and he wanted to say something important to me but he did not get any chance but he promised me that he would tell me everything later.

They cheered for me and I could feel that they were happy for me.

I took my phone a few minutes later and messaged Arnab, “Have you reached home?”

“Yeah, ten minutes ago,” Arnab replied to me.

After a few seconds, he messaged me again “I will call you tomorrow, enjoy with your friends tonight, Good night.”

“Good night Handsome,” I messaged him and after that, I joined my folks tonight we girls wanted to enjoy among ourselves. I just loved my life, my family, and my friends and I just hoped that tomorrow Arnab would tell me everything and we would have a happy life in the future together, I just wanted to spend my life with Arnab.

UNKNOWN’S POV –

I looked at the picture sent by one of my men, I hate this girl, I would ruin her life, her family broke and shattered my beautiful family, and whom I loved the most suffered for her family.

“I will break you so badly and ruin your family,” I looked at her picture and promised myself.

“You will wish to die very soon but I will not let you die, death will be too easy for you, you have to suffer,” I thought in my mind and gulp down the whisky and crushed the glass, and due to that my palm got injured and blood was flowing heavily. However, I did not feel any pain as I was in deep anger.

“I hate you the most Misti Roy wait and watch, how I will ruin your life,” I looked at the photo on my cell phone and said it loudly.

I would not stop until I completely ruined and snatched her every happiness and after that, her family would understand the pain of a broken family, her family would pay the price and she would be my first target.
