IN THE STARS

chapter 41

Avinash entered his house late at night. He found his mother waiting for him in the living room 

Avinash didn’t gazed at her and started walking towards his room. Avantika quickly started following him while shooting a list of questions 

“So how was your date? Niyati must have felt surprised and thrilled to see you. And where did you take her?No, you don’t need to answer about how all the things went. Did you propose to her ?

 Avinash, even though he lost control, was able to hold back his anger and confide in Avantika.

‘Nothing goes as planned, She was out with her friends,’

‘ Ooh so where are you then? “

“ I went to meet my friend. Mom I am tired now can I sleep “

“Yeah sure and when did I stop you from sleeping “  Avantika complained with a pout 

Avinash entered his room. He settled on the bed holding his head between his hands 

He still couldn’t believe that Niyati dated that jerk, Kabir. 

     His gaze fell upon the gifts he had brought for Niyati from Dubai. A few of them were pricey makeup products, while others were perfumes.

While in Dubai, he longed for Niyati and couldn't wait to reunite with her. He finished his project early solely for this reason.  

   He reached Bangalore this morning and planned to meet Niyati in the evening. Since it was the weekend, they could go out for dinner.

Avinash knew their families were wishing for their alliance. ,so tonight he was going to talk to Niyati about this and know her opinion. When he reached the hostel, he came to know that Niyati was out with her friend .

 Avinash waited for her and didn’t call her, as he wanted to give her a surprise, but after hours of waiting when he saw niyati step down from Kabir’s swanky car holding a flower bouquet, his heart stopped beating for a moment. But what he saw next was more unimaginable, as niyati placed a kiss on his cheek.

Now he knew Niyati was dating Kabir Dhanrajgir .

 The next morning 

Surya entered the study room.and found his uncle, Samar Kapoor was busy in some work 

“Uncle, you called for me?”

“ Surya.  Yeah please take a seat son ‘

  Sitya git settled on the front chair , Sameer passed him some papers… Surya held the file and started reading it.it, After completing it he looked at Samar Kapoor in confusion 

‘ Uncle this are the deal papers, with the Australian clients ‘

‘ Yeah it is.. I want you to handle this deal 

You are leaving for Australia tomorrow night “

“  Me.. But..i thought Sneha was handling this project “

 “  She was, but she is dealing with a crucial project in Delhi. So I thought you would be the best person to deal with Australian clients . You know I am busy with my political career… 

And I really want to give you this chance.. Grab this opportunity and prove your talent 

And it will hardly take two weeks, then you will be back in Bangalore “

  Surya gave a nod and thanked him
