Suddenly

Chapter 5

NEELAM's POV
"I am sick and tired of my clients. I literally can't be more patient with them anymore" I complained to Sukhi as soon as I entered in our shared room. I loved my job, but sometimes some people were really good at testing my patience.

As always she listened to my problems, she tried to calm me down by giving me a glass of water. "Don't worry, I know it must be tiring but it's your job, don't stress too much. They are just temporary people, try to be professional and don't care about what they say or not" she said while sitting next to me and I nodded.

"I have an idea" Sukhi suddenly said in excitement "What?" I asked her confused. "Let's go for a movie night" she finally said.

SUKHI's POV
Since I knew that Neelam wasn't in a good mood, I decided to take her to watch a movie together. All I wanted was to make her enjoy this trip with me and cheer her up, but everything went wrong.

Unfortunately when we came to the cinema there was only an horror movie available for the night and I knew Neelam didn't like it. After convincing her, I finally took her to watch that, promising her that everything was going to be okay and it was just a movie.

As we sat on our seats, the lights went off and Neelam grabbed my hand. "Don't be scared, I am here" I told her caressing her hand and she nodded. Unlike her, I didn't mind watching horror movies, it was rare for me to get scared since I used to think of those scenes as some sort of comedy or a game.

Suddenly, the possessed girl on the movie turned her bloody head around and I jumped in fear. Well, I didn't expect that to be that scary. "Damn! She is really sexy, that blood on her face makes her even more attractive, don't you think?" I heard the guy in front of us "Shut up! It's not funny. She looks horrible" I heard his friend and I laughed at their conversation, little loudly as I saw him turning around. I looked at Ahaan surprised to find him there. When he recognised me he winked and I ignored him and concentrated on the movie.
People were right, the person or the thing you hate will always come to you.

I continued watching the movie trying not to concentrate on his stupid comments, which were funny but I didn't want him to know otherwise god knows what his perverted mind would have thought.

The possessed woman started to sing a lullaby and cutting her throat, that's when Neelam couldn't take it and screamed loudly. She grabbed the front seat, where Aryan was sitting on it, as he felt a hand behind him he jumped in fear and both of them ran outside the cinema.

NEELAM's POV
I was happy for a while but my happiness didn't last for too long, when I got to know that we were going to watch an horror movie. I never liked this genre of movies, it always scared me but somehow that time I tried to be brave enough and went with Sukhi to watch it.

It was going "pretty good" until I saw the girl cutting her own throat while singing a lullaby. Even though it was just a scene of a movie but that scared me. I couldn't control myself anymore and at one point I screamed like an idiot and grabbed the front seat and made the guy in front of me jump in fear. I was so scared and without thinking twice I ran out of the cinema.

When I got myself out of the hall, someone bumped into me. I looked and I saw Aryan, who was breathing heavily as if he ran thousands of kilometres. That's how I realised that he was the guy, who I scared him and I felt my cheeks heating in embarrassment. "Sorry" he apologised awkwardly "I-It's okay" I replied looking down, that's how we stayed there for a few minutes before saying an awkward bye and going back to our rooms.

SUKHI's POV
A few minutes later, Ahaan got up and came to sit next to me. I looked at him confused but ignored since I didn't want to create another scene and disturb the people once again.

After laughing on his comments and getting glares from the people sitting in the hall until the end of the movie we went out.

"So, would you like to join me for an Ice Cream?" he asked scratching the back of his neck, I looked at him surprised "What? Of course not" I replied rising my voice.

Laughing with him didn't mean that I was going to become like one of his chicks.

"Why?" he asked confused, as if he didn't expect that "I am not going to sleep with you" I quickly said pointing him a finger. He laughed "I didn't ask you to sleep with me" Ahaan said staring at me, as he was trying to convince me with his eyes. "Right?" he continued, I looked down on the floor "I am not like one your chicks" I said to myself in a soft voice and then looked at him, who was already staring at me. "Listen, I am not trying to f*ck you, I just want to hang out" he finally said and when he saw me shocked by the word he used, Ahaan laughed. "Just come, I won't flirt with you. I swear" he said with convincing eyes, it felt like he was saying the truth.

"If I say yes, will you stop being so annoying?" I suddenly asked and he laughed again. Was I that funny?
"Just come, trust me for once" he said and I nodded "Fine, but if you do something weird, I will hit you" I warned him "Yes" he said smiling like a child who finally got a candy he wanted.

He decided to sit on a table on the corner of the Ice Cream Parlour, away from the other families and couples.
"What flavour you want?" Ahaan asked me putting his elbowson the table "Mango and cream" I simply replied, he nodded and called the waiter. "Can we have one mango and cream Ice cream and a chocolate one?" as he ordered, the waiter nodded and told us to wait a little.

"So..what's your story? You hate boys in general or just me?" He asked and I thought about a little "Just you, I guess?" I mumbled and he laughed "Cute" I heard him and I looked at him, he cleared his throat "I don't get this, you are the first girl who rejected me. Don't you get nervous when I talk to you? Or when I get close to you like this?" He came close closer and I stepped back a little "See, you don't even try to get my attention either, it really surprises me" Ahaan said going back to his place. I shrugged my shoulders "It's not a strategy or something, I just don't like you. Simple" I told him taking a tissue and playing with the corners of it. He took my tissue and I looked at him confused "You wouldn't be here if you didn't like me" he said so full of himself. Here, we go the jerk is back. I rolled my eyes and as I was about to say something the waiter came and gave us our ice creams.

"Don't you like chocolate?" He asked me while having his Ice cream "No, I hate it. Including Nutella" I said playing with biscuit of my ice cream. When I didn't receive a reply back, I looked up only to see him frozen "Are you an alien or something?" he asked me and I laughed at his reaction.

Instantly, he put the cream of my ice cream on my nose "Hey! What did you do?" I yelled "Now, you look like a real alien" he said and I put his cream on his face too "Now, you look like a real jerk" I said while laughing.

I paid for my Ice cream "You don-" he was about to say something but I cut him "No need. I think you should clean your brown face" I said and he laughed "You should do that too" Ahaan said and I remembered that my face was covered with Ice cream. I took some tissues for myself and for him since he didn't have it.
"Take this. I don't want your chicks to see you like this. I think you will lose your handsomeness" I said and he chuckle while cleaning his face. "I know that you like me. I feel it, Angel" he said and I rolled my eyes "Funny as always" I sarcastically said and we both decided to go back to our rooms since it was late.
