FROM DARE TO LOVE (Editing)✔

CHAPTER 30

Adnan is upset that again I will have to leave for three days, to cheer him up with Vimala's help I made the dinner, and after dinner we decide to walk in the lawn.

I quickly changed into my mickey mouse long yellow Tee and white Patiala. I tied my hair in a messy bun and rushed to the lawn. Vimala has gone to the servant's quarters, it's only 10pm but Vimala has to wake up very early and so she sleeps early as well.

I come into the lawn and find Adnan pacing wearing his white Kurtha pajama, his hands folded to his back and his head lowered.

At age of 32, Adnan behaves like a 50yr old. I shake my head, and walk towards him. He smiles sadly at me.

I entangled my arm with his and we strolled. We started chatting random stuffs, it was mostly me talking and Adnan nodding his head, I wondered if he was even listening.

Next day I didn't go to work, I asked Ruchi to go to work instead, she groaned as she too wanted to take leave today.

I wake up around 6am, it's really early for me. I know Adnan wakes up around 5.30am, goes for a walk and comes back 6am.

I happily open the door and smile widely when I see shock on Adnan's face.

'Alu, you are up so early?' he asks, I beam at him shrugging.

I get him glass of water as he sits on the sofa.

'Bhai!' I say

'Hmmm.' Adnan replies, his eyes closed and his head resting on the back of the sofa. I sit beside him; he opens his eyes and I hand him glass of water.

'Bhai, I have another surprise for you... (he looks at me curiously) I am coming with you for the auction' I say, he is surprised.

Last night, I had sneaked into Bhai's room to check if he had slept and if he needed anything. I had noticed the water jug beside his bedside table is empty. When I went to pick it up I had noticed his phone beep and a message flash onscreen.

His assistant, Rhea had texted stating that tomorrow they have to go for a Villa inspection and its auction, this property is important.

Adnan takes a sip of water, 'What will you do there?' he says and looks at me.

I throw my arm around his shoulder and smile 'You are my bro, bro! and I want to be there with you as your...lady luck' I say. Adnan thinks for a while before nodding, and I smile widely and hugged him tight.

'All the best Bhai!' I whispered

'Thanks' he replies hugging me back.

I decided the suit Adnan will be wearing, he should look elegant. I decided on a pink formal shirt, and black suit for him.

'Rhea will swoon over you' I tease him, he simply rolls his eyes. Rhea is a very good looking woman in her mid-20's, she is smart and independent and like many girls have a small crush on Adnan, my brother. I feel so proud.

If Adnan will be look like a professional, then I should look equally good if not better. Hot brother ki Hot sister.

I took a hot shower, dried my hair and dressed myself in a full sleeve backless black and white pencil dress reaching my knees, wore a high heeled red stiletto. I applied my dark kohl and blood red glossy lipstick. I combed my hair and leave it loose.

Adnan drives while I sit in the passenger seat going through the details from his file. It takes us about half an hour to reach our destination. When I climb down the car I am awestruck with the beauty of the Villa, calling it a villa will be an understatement. The place is like a mansion; it has lush greenery surrounding it and the Villa in the center. We go around the Villa, all the while I admired the place. It is resembling some Victorian aged mansion.

I wish I had cash to buy this Villa for myself. We reach the backyard where the bidding is to take place, there are many chairs and few people already sitting there.

The bidding will start around 3pm, I glanced my watch its only 12pm. There is lot of time.

As I look around Adnan gets a call, few minutes later he cuts the call and informs me that Rhea is on her way and will be coming in fifteen minutes. I nod. Adnan gestures towards the seats and placed his hand around me leading me towards the seat.

'Hey, Adnan' My heart skips a beat when I hear a familiar baritone. Shit! We turn around and come face to face with Riad Nawab Ali.

Riad is standing in front of us with his hands shoved in his pocket. I look at him from top to bottom. He is looking dashing in black suit, white shirt and red tie. His hair neatly combed and gelled. There is a smirk on his lips.

I gulp when I sensed Adnan stiffen beside me.
