Dark Love

CHAPTER-5. THE PARTY NIGHT

As I turned to see who would be there, no one was there, so I thought it was my imagination or overthinking, so I focused on the dance again. A short while later, I felt the same, but this time I felt someone's breath on my shoulder and ears as well, but the male body odor and aura were unfamiliar to me, and when I was about to turn to see who this was, he pulled my back against his chest, his hand on my waist, and my back on his chest.

When he did this, I was shocked and nervous at the same time. While I was trying to regain my senses, he came near my ear and said,

"Why did you reject my gift, Jaan? Why didn't you wear it?"

Hearing this, I got goosebumps. His voice was so cold, yet calm at the same time, and I could feel his anger because of my rejection. He said this in a small voice, but still, it's so deep. In response to my failure to reply to him, he said again in a small voice,

"Answer me, Jaan."

This time, instead of replying, I asked,

"Wh....who are you?"

because I was unfamiliar with his voice. As I tried to turn toward him, he tightened his grip on my waist and pulled me closer to him. After hearing what I ask, he just chuckled and said,

"We'll meet soon".

After saying this, he left me. At the same time, the performances also ended, so people started leaving the stage. Nidhi also came towards me. Taking this opportunity, he hid himself in the crowd, and I couldn't find him. I couldn't even take a look at his back. It felt like he vanished. In fear, I started sweating profusely, as if I had just gotten out of the shower. I was looking for him but he was nowhere to be found. Seeing my mess, Nidhi came to me and asked,

"What happened Meeru? Why are you sweating so much? Is there any problem? Are you afraid of anything?"

Hearing her, I hugged her tightly and started crying. Noticing my trembling body, she began to pat my back soothingly.

I quickly separated from her, dragging her wrist towards the exit gate in a hurry as I felt uneasy. When we reached the front parking area of the hotel, I was a full crying mess. I couldn't control myself and blurted out everything that had happened at the party. Hearing this, she was shocked. 

I also mentioned that the person present there was not Rahul, which was a new challenge for us and also a source of tension because his actions seemed more dangerous than Rahul's.

After my outburst, she helped me to calm down. We then made our way to my apartment, and after dropping me off, she went to her own home. Once I got inside, I freshened up and changed into a comfortable night dress.

In the morning, when I woke up, I realized it was already late. So, I hurriedly got ready and went to the office. When I entered my department, I noticed that all my colleagues were busy gossiping about something. This scene was not normal for me, as whenever I entered the office, they were all deeply engrossed in their work. So, I was surprised and confused as to why they were doing this today.
