Hidden Alliance

Chapter 19*The Mehndi Night*

Alvira managed to open her eyes hearing the knock. She rushed to the bathroom grabbing her lip color from the dressing table. Her lipstick was smudged and under any circumstances she could not let anyone know about the kiss.

Asher opened the door with a similar frown. Zara was standing there and Amara was coming in the same direction too.

"Where is Alvira?" Amara asked in a confused voice.

"She is in the washroom" Asher replied and left the room, leaving them alone.

"I will take Alvira away from you once we land back" He thought, smirking from a distance.

Alvira quickly fixed her lipstick and made sure she doesn't look disheveled. After making sure she looks perfect and controlling her erratic breath, she came out.

"Hey, you look beautiful Amara" She tried to act normal.

"Thank you love but no one can compete with you" Amara chuckled.

Alvira laughed hearing the same line from Amara for the infinite time.

"Alvira, Is everything ok? I mean Asher was quite angry when he opened the door. You look pale too. Did something happen?" Zara asked doubtfully.

Alvira scanned Zara's face to observe if she found out about the kiss. To her relief, Zara was oblivious of their interaction.

"There is nothing to worry about. He just wants to take things ahead according to his preference, whereas, I still need some time to figure out our future. We had an argument and I went inside the washroom to avoid him and maybe you guys came just then. "Alvira said while adjusting her Lehnga.

"I can understand your mental condition. He should also accept this. But if he doesn't then don't worry we are here to show him some girl power" Amara said dramatically.

"Absolutely!" Zara replied.

"Awww my girls are so cute" Alvira said hugging them.

"Now let's go, Else Minahil will come and kill us with her eyes only." Zara said laughing.

"You guys go and call the lift, let me go grab my phone" Alvira replied.

Amara and Zara left and Alvira came near the bed to find her phone. After removing the duvet she finally found her cell phone. She turned back to leave when her eyes fell on the corner where Asher pinned her and then kissed her.

The flashback crossed her mind and she closed her eyes to control her emotions.

"Asher you are mistaken if you think that I am the same selfless Avi. I will keep you away from any potential harm, but I won't let you play with me and my feelings this time. I am not the same Alvira, who sacrificed herself for you. I will never hurt myself for you know. You shouldn't have taken things so fast. "Alvira sighed and grabbing her phone left the room.

The girls were about to enter the hall when Alvira stopped near the entrance. She was scared and it was evident on her face. Amara and Zara were very well aware of her dilemma. Zara laced her hand on Alvira's shoulder to offer her support. Alvira glanced at them and taking a sigh plastered a smile on her face.

"Let's go" She said.

Loud music and laughter hit Alvira as soon as she entered the hall. The decoration was indeed soothing and beautiful. Fariha saw her and immediately came towards her.
