29: An Unforgettable Birthday (Part 3)

I ran after the security guard to the office where he led Shehry.

I wiped away my tears and tried once more.

"Sir please, please let him go. I..I'll do anything you ask for. It was my fault. I asked him to take me there. Please let him go, sir." I pleaded and Shehry stared at me with a pitiful look on his face.

"Hmm, do you both realize how fatal this one little part of your enjoyment could've proved for you?" He says, eyeing the both of us. First Shehry and then me.

"Yes sir. We know. And we're really sorry." I say and waited for Shehry to do the same. But no. Hmm..Arrogant banda. Iss ko to mein baad mein dekhun gi. Hudd hai yaar.

"Hm? So Mr. Shehryaar. Should I do as your girlfriend asked me to?" He gestures towards Shehry and I blushed.

Shehry had a playful smirk on his face, and instantly hugged the officer as they both laughed. What ?!

"Thank you so much for the permission, officer. We made quite some memories." He shook the officer's hand. This was all a damn joke ?!

My eyes widened and I grew furious.

"Ah. Your welcome son. Nice to know how you took such a risk with yo scaredy little kitty there." He points at me and they both laugh, giving each other a high five.

Argh ! Scaredy little kitty? Seriouslyyy? Your little bum will be so damn sorry, officer ke bachay !

I turned away in rage and annoyance, heading down the stairs.

"Babe wait up ! Thanks again for the awesome memory, officer." I hear Shehry in the back and hear his footsteps rushing in my direction.

"Nida !" He called after me as he chased after me.

I trudged faster down the stairs, not wanting to be caught by him. It was easier going down the stairs than going up.

Har cheez mazaak lagti hai isay.

"Nida baat to suno yaar." He says, still hurrying down the stairs after me.

I just ignored him and finally reached the end of the stairs. I escaped through the door and halted in my tracks when I remembered, we needed a boat, and Shehry had the ticket.

I mentally facepalmed myself and instantly felt him behind me.

"Nida?" He comes in front of me.

"Kia hai, huh? Har cheez mazaak lagti hai na tumhein? I almost had a heart attack thinking he arrested you ! And you? You just had to rub acid over my burns by laughing your heart out with that.....that...bandar ki aulaad !" I yelled and looked away from him, and he laughed. Like literally exploded.

"Aye hayee, meri jaan ko ghussha aa gaya?" He made a kissy face and I glared at him. "Chalo, issi bahaane hasne ka bhi moqa mil jaata hai mujhe. Come on, cheer up." He says smiling, and reached for my hand but I jerked it away and raised my index finger to his face.

"Don't touch me !" I yelled again and he chuckled once again. Aarghh !!

"I'm leaving." I screeched and walked away.

"But I have the tickets, in case you forgot?" He says, trying to sound like a smartass.

I halted midway and sighed internally.

He grabbed my arm and turned me around, fastening me in his arms.

"Sorry na." He says and I felt myself cool down a little.

"Tumhein bara shauq hai mujhe rotay dekhne ka?" I ask, tracing my finger over his chest, to keep myself busy from looking into his eyes. His heart was beating fast inside him.
