Suddenly

Chapter 4

NEELAM's POV
In the evening, I went to the salon because I needed to fix some stuff there for the next day. Since I was alone, I decided to listen to some music with earphones on my phone. I was trying to put the hairdryer on the shelf when suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and I immediately turned around screaming and fell down on the same person.

The fun part was that I was listening to Drake's God's plan before landing on the person. Great.

I slowly opened my eyes only to find the person I hate the most with his eyes closed as if he was in pain. I looked down and realised that I was on him, I immediately tried to get up but doing so I lost the balance again and fell on him once again. 

Things couldn't go worse than this, I mentally said. 

I closed my eyes in embarrassment, as finally I opened them I already found him looking at me, what was happening to me? From all the people in this cruise why was I only meeting him? 

We stayed like that for a few seconds looking at each other but soon I realised what I was doing and I broke the eye contact and this time got up being more careful. He followed me and gave me my phone that fell on him, I took it not knowing what to say and even he was silent, when I  looked up he was already staring at me and I looked down. I couldn't fall in his trap, that was how he used to treat the girls. I cleared my voice before glaring at him "What are you doing here? We are closed, didn't you see the board? And on top of that what were you thinking when you touched me?" I asked him angrily.

I know it sounded stupid from my side to react this way but at that time all I wanted him was to stay away from me.  

He came closer and I stepped back "Excuse me miss, don't fly so high, okay? I don't have any interest in touching you. So, please mind your language and I didn't touch you because I am attracted towards you or something, I did it just to call your attention since you had your earphones on" Aryan said coldly pointing at my earphones "I think you shouldn't watch movies, this is the real life, because only in those fake movies the guy falls in love with the girl on their first meeting and then he starts to follow her, please don't give so much importance to yourself. You have nothing that I haven't seen before" he finally said before he turned around and left the salon.

I was left speechless and deep inside I felt bad for no reason. If I had nothing that he hasn't seen before, then why did he come here on the first place? The salon was closed..Maybe God's plan?

SUKHI's POV

I was sitting on the rooftop reading one of my favourite books, A beautiful disaster. I didn't know how many times I've read this book but every time it felt like the first time. Books always helped me to escape from reality and hide behind thousands of letters combined to each other in a beautiful way. They were my perfect escape from an imperfect reality. 

I turned the page when I felt someone's presence behind me "Look, who is here" Ahaan said with his annoying voice "What do you want?" I asked him irritated closing the book and finally turning my head towards him. "Nothing, I was just passing by when I saw the most boring person reading a book and I thought why not disturb her" he said with a playful tone and I rolled my eyes. "Don't believe in books, Angel" Ahaan whispered in my ear making me shiver, How I wished I could slap him. I got up facing him "First of all, it's my life, my business. I can believe to whatever I want. Reading is my passion like yours but the difference is that I change my books while you change your girls everyday just so you can f*ck them" I told him crossing my arms and he smirked "I think I've already told you, if you want to try it too just tell me straight away, there's no need to play hard, Angel" the guy in front of me said and I gasped. Disgusting.
"Just go to hell" I said while going away but as I was walking towards the stairs somehow I tripped over the chair and I almost fell but I saved myself by holding the wall. 

Why things can't go to the right way? I mentally said as I heard him laughing. What was so funny? 

I immediately turned around to shut his laugh giving him a glare, in fact he tried to hold it but soon he started laughing again "Ugh, I hate you" I cried and went downstairs to buy myself something to drink. 

I went in front of the counter trying to forget what happened feeling embarrassed. 

"Excuse me, can I have a bottle of cold water?" I asked at the waiter, who smiled at me and gave me what I ordered. I gave him the money but when he gave me the exchange he gave me his number smiling like a psycho. I looked at him shocked, he was literally the same age as my father. That was great, instead of attracting guys, I was attracting old people. Fantastic.

I looked at the waiter with disgust while taking only the exchange, when I turned around I bumped into someone's chest. Great. As I looked up to meet the jerk again. Why God? Why am I so unlucky? 

"Can't you see?" I asked him frustrated "And what about you? Why are you falling everywhere? Are you on drugs or something?" Ahaan asked with a smirk making me clench my hands into fists "If you need a wheelchair just tell me. I can afford it for you, Angel" he finally said "I have a name" I explained him "Oh? What is it" he asked me and I stayed in silence. 

"Then, I will call you Angel" he said looking at me "Don't you dare to call me angel again or I will ruin that face of yours with my nails" I said and he laughed "Oh my god, I am scared" he faked a scared face and I wanted to choke him. I gave him a fake smile and suddenly stepped on his foot like the other time. He yelled in pain "YOU-Idiot!!" He called me but I ignored him and went straight towards my room satisfied.
