My heart, once a fortress, now a prisoner to her sparkle. Forbidden desire, yet impossible to resist. She's the sister of my best friend, but my heart refuses to listen. One glance, and...

I finished the novel I've started yesterday. ' oh will i ever find this type of love in real life' i said to my bestfriend who's convincing me to go to the party arranged by our class fellows.
"Honestly sayin I'm not a party person. Rather than going to a club i would love to spend my time in my room reading my novels or watching dramas."
"University to home, home to university. That's how you're going to find the love of your life" Gauri said.
"Chal na please. Tu nahi jayegi to me bhi nahi jaugi. Dekh na anvi life ek hi hai kya pata in the next life you became a lizard. Just live the present to the Fullest so that aage jaake koi regret na ho. Kal ko tu apne bachon ko kya bolegi ki tune apni college life me kya kiya. Hmm?" She said dramatically and I remained silent.
"Convince hogyi ya abhi aur gyan du" I surrendered and laughed " Fine. I'll come ".

I sighed and looked at the dresses I've in front of me. A red sleeveless knee length dress with a little slit And a above knee black one with straps and it has a little ruffle at the end of it. Which one should i wear? I thought to myself. "oh yes i should do that". I went to the washroom, wore the dresses and clicked the pictures.

Black one got the highest votes so i chose to wear the black dress.
At the club
We walked into the club and was surrounded by loud music and flashing lights. The room was filled with people dancing, laughing, and having a good time. The air was thick with the smell of perfume and cologne. The dance floor was packed with people moving to the beat. The DJ's booth glowed with colorful lights, adding to the energetic atmosphere. The club was a lively and exciting place, full of energy and possibility. I felt a thrill of excitement.
"Let's go there" Gauri said pointing towards the bar counter. I sat on the stool and watched my best friend effortlessly chatting with others , laughing and joking.
Call me an insecure bitch but i kinda felt jealous.
She came towards me and sat on the stool placed beside mine. "What's up in your mind" she spoke.
"Huh? What" i said.
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing just admiring my bestfriend thinking how she's such a social butterfly" i said taking a sip of my drink.
"Says who, did you forget how much popular you're on Instagram" She said sipping her drink morever copying me.
"you know i don't like that bitch you were talking to" i said finally what i wanted to say.
"woah someone is jealous"she said laughing.
"yeah !! you're my bestfriend not hers"
"ik ik I'm yours. Well i was just asking her about Rajat"
I looked at her face expression getting blank and kinda sad. "what about rajat" i asked
"she said rajat is moving to london. If he's; then why I'm getting to know about it from others. I'm his girlfriend. He should tell me this first. Right? "
"To be honest. I don't like him at all. I'm telling you he's not good for you. He always do that and you always forgive him."
"i know. I'm aware about it. But the problem is I'm really attached to him i don't want to lose him. I care deeply for him" she said almost on the verge of cryin.
I've heard these words before.
"let that jerk go away. We're here for fun so let's go and dance" i grabbed her hand and headed to the dance floor.
As we continued dancing, lost in the music and the moment, a figure emerged from the crowd, his eyes fixed on me, that's Rahul. He pushed through the people and came towards us.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" He demanded holding my wrist. I felt a sense of unease, but gauri stepped in, being protective. "Uh, I don't think so. We're in the middle of a dance."
His eyes narrowed, his gaze flicking to gauri before snapping back to me "This doesn't concern you," he growled, his voice dripping with frustration.
I looked at her unsure of what to do, as his grip on wrist tighten hurting me , full of obsession and control. I immediately released my wrist from his grip .Gauri stood firm in front of him refusing to back down.
"This concern me"she said.
"Go away. I already told you i don't have any interest in you. Rahul i rejected you. Can't you understand? Stop following me."
His face twisted in a scowl, eyes flashing with anger. "You think you're too good for me?" His voice rising. "I know you're just playing hard to get. You're just pretending to reject me to make me want you more."
I said loudly "No, I mean it. I'm not interested. Leave me alone."
He took a step closer "You're mine," i took a step backwards "I know it. And I'll make sure you know it too."
Gauri stepped forward, In between me and him "Back off, creep. She's not interested. Leave her alone.
The music had stopped, and the crowd around them was starting to stare, sensing the tension. His eyes darted to me "This isn't over," he said , before turning and disappearing into the crowd. I let out a shaky breath, "Thanks babe "I don't know what I'd do without you." I pulled her into a hug.
She hugged me back "Anytime, We're in this together."

I tiptoed into the house, my heart racing with every creak of the floorboards. I had sneaked out to the club without telling bhai, i knew he would never let me go alone if i told him. I looked around to the left to the right and took a breath of relief because noone was there. I started to go towards the stairs that's when i felt someone looking at me.
I looked at where the kitchen is and my eyes widened "What are you doing here?" I whispered, trying to sound casual despite my racing heart.
My eyes darted around ,searching for an escape route. Why did he have to be here tonight of all nights? And why did he have to be awake at this time? I knew I was busted.
