Satan's Secretary(Mishaan)

chapter-21

Spending time in a bar and drowning in stinking vile drinks were not Mishti's idea of fun! Then why was she itching to do just that? Umm....because she had just heard the devil A.K.A Ruhaan say that he was going to eleven D and that too with a gorgeous blond Charlotte! Through grapevine she had gathered that this blond witch was Ruhaan's college friend and she had come to India to get some sun....why couldn't she go to West Indies, if she loved sun bathing so much was beyond Mishti's comprehension! Well, what did she care, it was a friendly night out of course, two friends meeting after a long time and spending some time together, that's it right?  But what if they drank too much and lost their way home? Someone has to be there to take care of them tight? Yes, that was what Mishti was going to do! She didn't care if they spent time together, she just wanted them to be safe and that too because she was too kind hearted to let anything happen to anyone!

"KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT, DEAR GIRL" said God, not knowing if he should be annoyed or amused  with her silly reasonings for going to... ahm....bar. 

"Yes, I shall, for it is the truth!" Snapped Mishti not wanting to discuss it any further lest the Almighty discovered the truth. Before God could come with another retort a knock came on Mishti's door and without her permission the handsome face of Neil Merchant appeared in her door step grinning ear to ear, but for some reason the smile didn't reach his eyes, oh well....

"Hello Gorgeous, I missed you so much!" He announced in an outrageously loud voice

"But you saw me only an hour ago" said Mishti, not certain what the hell was the matter with him....he seemed rather sick. Before she could voice her worry to him he all but ran to her and....hugged her

"Play along" he whispered in her ear and then without a warning adapted his ostentatious voice "sweetheart, please don't leave me for more than a minute, you know I can't function without you.... It's like I shall die, like my muscles get paralyzed, like I get epileptic seizures when you're not with me!" Mishti thought his speech was more catalytic than romantic and as if in cue she looked at the door and saw Ruhaan and behind him was the Gorgeous blond Charlotte Campwell. God she really was gorgeous, Huge blue eyes, pouty lips and a figure girls would die for! Why God? Why did you make her so damn beautiful! Complained Mishti mustering all the venom in her body.

"Well, isn't this cozy? What do you say Charie, can this come under the category of molestation?" Asked Ruhaan in a voice that chilled Mishti's spine, mortified she tried to extract herself from Neil's arms but he wouldn't let her go, instead he tightened his hold on her. Mishti saw Ruhaan's fists were clenched so tight that the knuckles had gone white

"Not if It's consensual" even her voice was the sweetest Mishti had ever heard. Mishti crept her hand inside Neil's shirt under his coat and pinched him on his stomach with all her might, he winced and immediately let go of her. He turned and addressed  Ruhaan and the perfect blond

"Charlotte! Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise!"

"Very pleasant, indeed" replied Charlotte, her tone indicating anything but.

"Let me introduce the love of my life to you" he again captured Mishti's hand pleading with his eyes for her to play along "Mishti Khanna, isn't she the most beautiful girl Charlotte?" Asked Neil over enthusiastically

"Yes she is" replied Charlotte, but Mishti heard the tremor in her voice and saw the unshed tears in her eyes which sh blinkd back and plastered a smile on her face that didn't reach her eyes and fooled no one.

"Perhaps you both will grace us with your presence this evening in eleven D, I'm throwing a party for Cherie there" this from Ruhaan and without waiting for their answer Rihaan took Charlotte's hand and marched out. As soon as the were out Mishti snatched her hand back and demanded from Neil
