36. Prajakta's Worry

"Dude, look at her. Does that twat even looks like a grown-ass woman?"

Drunk Dishan slurred while being seated with his friend and cousin while his elder sister was also swaying slash dancing while her husband was trying his best to calm her down. Ishaan on the other hand laughed at the scene while Danishk hit the back of both of their heads.

"She is elder than us! So respect boys."

At his command, both bowed their head and muttered yes sir to him. He was laughing internally because those two looked like children caught stealing cookies. He took another sip of his drink and enjoyed the show and that was when he heard a thud coming from the entrance door and a pale and dripping with sweat Prajakta made her way towards him. He stood up in anticipation then she rushed towards him and embraced him without any resistance.

"They-they are going to kill you, run away! Run-run away now! Please save your life. I-"

"Who told this? Where did you get to know Prajakta?"

She was already shivering in fright already and to calm her down he caressed her shoulders while his gaze traveled towards his Chachu right away.

"There was a guy, dressed in black, and his back was facing me... he was... he was talking with someone saying that he will... he will end your life. Please just go... get away from here... please-"

"Prajakta-"

"No, you don't-"

"Prajakta, nothing will happen... no one will do anything to you."

With wide eyes, she shook her head but he held her closer and requested her to focus.

"Trust me, nothing will happen alright?"

Everything around them started to process so quickly that they didn't get to know what happened when. Prajakta was dragged out of the room, Dishan and Ishaan stood in front of him as if they were covering him and within minutes Prajakta was downstairs of the hotel with other ladies. She still stood up in a daze while her gaze was still staring at the floor where Dansihk and others were at.

"Why the hell did people choose to mess up this day? Ugh! It's already messed up."

Danishk was irritated with all the incidents happening back to back. Ugh! This is obviously not his day though. He should ban himself from birthdays. To add salt to his wounds the power went off causing everyone in that room to fish out their phone and turn on the torch and that was when they heard a gunshot. Everyone froze and their attention traveled towards the source of the gunshot revealing no one but they heard footsteps traveling to the right side of the hall.

"Asad, three o clock."

Feroz swiftly whispered to his son and precisely Asad shot on his exact right. They heard the bullet being pierced to the skin. All of them rushed towards the culprit but that person had already escaped through the double door leading to the balcony. Asad and Aamir together followed the trail and ran to catch him while all of them turned their torch on.

"Okay one guy was shot but there might be a few more."

As Dishan opened his mouth power was back while every other person in the room rolled their eyes. Dishan shrugged and rushed downstairs to check on the area making sure there was no supposed partner of that hitman and the coast is clear. After roaming around the entire hotel, he took out his phone and texted that the coast is clear.
