CHAPTER 31

A/n pov:

Neel and gauri finally came out while Gauri freed her hands from his grip

Neel turned around and she spoke

Gauri: could you please at least tell me why we left the party abruptly?

Neel didn't said anything and ruffled his hair in frustration.

Gauri: Neel I'm asking something...

Neel: just stay away from that Yash..

Gauri looked at him in confusion and realised he was talking about..

Gauri: why what happened?? He seems friendly to me-

Neel: JUST STAY AWAY FROM HIM THEN WHY IT IS SO HARD GOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND

He yelled at her which made gauri flinched and Neel cursed himself for this

Instead of getting hurt by his words she again looked at him in confusion and tried to figure out what happened to him...minutes ago he was normal and now he is pissed off meanwhile he instantly regretted at his raised voice

Neel: I'm sorr--

Gauri: calm down Neel...first let's seat somewhere

Saying this held his hand and dragged him towards the bench near them while making him seat and she she also sat besides her

Gauri: I don't know what happened to you suddenly but you can tell me if something is bothering you..

Neel looked towards her and spoke

Neel: I...It's just....he is not a good man..he is not what he seems...it's better if you will stay away from him

Gauri: but how can you say so...

Neel: because he-

He stopped in middle of his sentence and turned away

Gauri: he.. ?

He sighed and turned back to her

Neel: I cannot tell you why but please trust me...he is bad omen...I know him from long time....he is manipulator

Gauri: look I'm not getting what are you saying and I think you must had reasons so I won't interfere it too much since it's your personal matter but if you say then I am believing at you..and don't worry I won't get manipulate by him..

She squeezed his hands and gave him a reassuring smile..

He stared her and thought

Neel's thought: I must had committed good work that's why you came in my life gauri. I wish I could had tell you the truth but I am afraid I'll loose you when you will get to know it...and I don't want you to hate me at any cost..

Gauri: happy now??

Neel pouted and gauri laughed

Gauri: anyways let's go back home

He nodded and both got up from their seat.

Time skips~
During driving:

Neel and gauri were sitting on passenger seat while chandar was driving the car.

Suddenly gauri saw bubble maker and bubble gun

Gauri: chandar please stop the car

Neel got confused but chandar did as she said.The car pulled out at side of the road and Neel spoke

Neel: what happened?

Gauri: I saw a vendor selling bubble maker on the road..

Neel: so?

He asked curiously and gauri replied

Gauri: so what, I'm gonna buy it, I really wanted to lay my hands on that thing

Neel: are you sure Gauri?

Gauri: I am... anyways I'll go and buy it before he moves forward

Saying this she came out from the car and chandar tried not to laugh

Neel: why are you laughing chandar?

Chandar: nothing sir it's just...she forgot to carry her clutch bag

Neel realised and face palmed

Neel: oh this girl...

He also got out from the car and ran behind gauri.

She finally reached towards the vendor and spoke

Gauri: bhaiya give me one too.

The man nodded and pulled out a manual bubble maker

Gauri: not this one...I want gun one...

He pulled out bubble gun and gauri took it. Till then Neel also reached there and spoke

Neel: paise kya hawa se nikal ke dogi?

( Will you pay via air?)

She didn't understand what he meant and Neel pulled out her clutch bag and that's when she realised she ran without taking the cash

She nervously smiled towards him and got flustered while neel chuckled
He shook his head and paid to vendor.

Neel: you are like a baby...

Now it's time for gauri to pout and Neel laughed more.

Gauri: anyways let's goooooo

She chirped and starts spraying the guns while cluster of bubbles started coming out. She giggled and Neel just watched her with a smile on face.

He loved the way gauri was enjoying little things without caring about anything, anyone...

She was playing like a child and seeing this he was at peace...he doesn't remember when was the last time he felt like this...

Gauri looked towards Neel and yelled

Gauri: won't you join me?!???

Neel chuckled and replied

Neel: trust me if I joined you then you won't be able to play with that bubble gun again

Gauri: what do you mean????!?

He mischievously smirked and went near her while taking away the gun..

Neel: now it's mine...I won't give it to you

Gauri cutely glared at him and ran behind him and he also started running away from her

Both were enjoying to their fullest... someone said right, if you want you can find happiness in every little things..

Time skips~

Gauri and Neel got tired while running and both took a seat at a bench.

Both were huffing and Neel spoke

Neel: woah...this was so amazing, I ran pretty good distance*huffs*

Gauri: you were running so fast, god I'm feeling like my whole energy have been sucked out..

Both laughed and then Neel became serious

Neel: thank you gauri...

Gauri: for what?

Neel: for pulling me out from darkness...

Gauri: I don't get it...?

Neel: you have no idea how much I'm genuinely feeling happy rn....after a long time...so thank you for it

Gauri: oh...you are welcome..

Neel nodded and gauri looked away as she felt butterflies in her stomach when he thanked her.

Suddenly she heard ping sound indicating a notification came on her phone. She opened the clutch and pulled out the phone to see the message from Nitya.

She tapped the message and her smile dropped a bit...

" The key is ready..."
