His last breath(Completed✔)

Chapter 8

The next day, I wore a red dress that end just above my knees for Isha's party. I could have simply said any excuse to avoid it but I wanted to go and I didn't know the reason. I went to hall that can accommodate to more or less 100 people. It felt alien for me as I was not used to attend casual party like this.

 All I have ever attended was business parties. I looked around and noticed a bar counter setted up at one corner and another corner was DJ playing some rock music which I clearly hated. I was very nervous when I sensed someone casually hugged me, and I felt warm. For a moment my nervousness just flew away. But, it returned in no time.

"Arjun" I greeted. "Why are you even so nervous Anjali? Is everything okay?" he asked me. 'How the hell he knows I am nervous?' I thought to myself. 

"Urmm actually this is my first time in a party like this" I said honestly. He was dumbfounded by my reply. Slowly his shocked reaction turned into a warm smile. He put a arm around my shoulder pulling me closer and said "Don't worry, I am here."

I was shocked to hear that but he gave a unknown feeling to me. "But seriously being a great businesswoman, you are telling me you have never attended parties like this?" he asked. 

I just nodded agreeing to what he just said and expecting him to tease me. But, he just smiled and tightened his hand around my shoulder, "Don't worry, you got me," he said.

Isha and I were talking when Arjun asked me if I needed anything and I just shook my head saying no. Then he left to talk to Riddhant. 

"So what is happening Anjali. Between you and Arjun?" Isha asked me after Arjun left. 

"What? Nothing is happening," I said to her but she gave a look that showed she didn't believe me. 

"I saw the way you both look at each other especially him. And last night when I asked you to join the party you refused and when Arjun asked you just said okay. I mean do you guys in love or something?" Isha asked leaving me shocked. I just coughed to hide my embarassement.

"What nonsense you talking Isha? We are just friends okay? Stop overthinking," I said and thank god she dropped the topic. 

Then, Isha went to look for her other friends leaving me alone. I just drank wine to cope with the loneliness I felt and I ended up drinking too much. I started seeing everything in double. "Anjali are you drunk?" I heard his voice.

"Arjun, is that your twin? He looks exactly like you" I said and laughed at my own joke. Yes clearly like a fool. 

"If you have such a low alcohol tolerance, you should not have drink that much of wine. Anjali.. You hear me?" I slowly lost conscious.

Arjun's POV

I dragged her to the hotel nearby and booked a room for her. She looked so innocent that people will think someone spiked her drink. She was occasionally laughing like a mad person. But, I liked it. I don't know why but I feel good whenever she looked at me. 

I started liking her when I saw her helping out boys in her home. I liked her good nature. I mean nowadays rich people doesn't think about helping people in need. Even I didn't think of helping others after earning so much. But, the fact that she was thinking and doing about it is just amazing. Yesterday when I saw her in saree, I was mesmerized. I wanted to tell her she looked amazing but couldn't bring myself to do that as I don't want her to look at me in wrong light.

And just now, when I first saw I was mesmerized by her in her red dress. How the hell a girl can look good in both traditional and modern dress? But she can. I couldn't resist hugging her the moment I saw her. I promised her that I will be there for her throughout the party but because of my stupid friends I had to leave her with Isha. And now she is drunk. I am responsible for this. I dragged her to the room and made her lie down on the bed. 

"Arjun, I don't want to sleep. Let's play something? I am bored." She asked me like a child waiting for her mother to play with her. 

"Anjali you are not in your best state. Sleep for now." I pushed her shoulder, making her lie on the bed.

She looked at me with puppy eyes when I refused to play with her. Oh godd. Why you doing this for me. I cannot resist her puppy eyes. 

"FINE!!!" it was frustrating that I couldn't resist her. Then, we played some children games, god knows why she wanted to play those games. When I could not control myself anymore, I asked her to sleep. The red dress was hugging her waist closer than me, and I felt jealous about it. She was alluring and it took me all my strength to control myself. 

I badly wanted to kiss her, hold her in my arms, cuddle with her, hug her to sleep. But I couldn't do that. She was not conscious. I close my eyes and slept in the couch.

Thanks for reading. I hope you all like it and you can give me some suggestion on how to improve myself. 

I am updating everyday, because I don't want to make people waiting. Even though it is a very little people. I, myself, as a reader know the feeling of waiting for too long to find out what is going to happen next.
