Never Ever

Chapter 5

The party was on it's full swing. I am a light weight drinker,so already feeling tanked up.Unnati haven't has much so she was slightly intoxicated.

She hold my arm tightly into her hands, so that I don't fall flat on my face."I didn't know you will be easily intoxicated, it's better we get home before you do something that will make you regret later on".She started to pull me out from the back door of the club.

She called the driver to get the car at the back exit and take us at her place. The car parked before us and we got inside.

Her parents were away, so there's nothing to worry about."You know I hate men", I said with a gloomy face.

She hushed me not to talk about it now.
"Not all men, Maan, you surely love your dad and brothers".She reasoned out.

"Of course, not them, except them".

"Okay baby, let's talk about it tomorrow when you will be sober".She said.

I agreed,keeping index finger on my lips. I started to ramble about something on my own. Soon, we reached our destination.Unnati slided from her seat and extended her hand for me to take it.
I took hers and got out of the car.

We entered her home, she settled me into the couch, and went inside to the kitchen.I kept my head on the couch,I felt like a weightless bird flying higher in the sky.I managed to get the TV remote without falling from the couch.I turned on the TV,a news channel was on air, I changed into a movie channel where Star Wars was showing.

"Drink it", Unnati came back with a glass of lemonade.I drank it and kept my head back. I wanted to talk about all of it with her. This whole thing is killing me.

Unnati took a seat besides me." You want to take some rest", she offered.

"No.Right now all I want is to talk my heart out. You wanted to know about my early arrival,right? "

"It can wait till tomorrow, I have never seen you so upset about anything before".

" It all started when I asked Bhaiya to put me on this new project, the collaboration with The Emeralds. I wanted to test my knowledge and of course to be a part of it.Most importantly I wanted to stay away from Granny,I also wanted her to know that I'm too capable of handling business.She always put me down because I am a girl, a Princess to be precise and my foremost duty is to get married to a Prince of any Royal Family.
She always think that I'm irresponsible, naive,easily manipulated and weak, which definitely I'm not.I always made sure she get her facts clear about me.
So I did every possible thing to prove her wrong.

I went straight to NewYork from London.
Everybody at home was happy with my decision, except Granny. She scolded Bhai because he supported my decision and made me the representative of The Uday Palace".

"Should I get some popcorns and cold drinks, I think this will take some time for sure".She said.

"Actually you should get something to eat because it will be a long long story".

She literally went to kitchen and came back with a load of popcorn, chocolates, and some ice cream.

"Carry on, I think we are ready".She assured.

"So as you know,I was supposed to meet the owner of the Emeralds. I didn't know who he was, so I imagined him to be an old man, named Mr. Silverstein.An appointment was already made for us to meet at his office at 10AM on Monday morning.

Flashback

My flight from London was scheduled on 10:30 AM,Sunday morning.I packed up my stuff at night and then went to my bedroom to grab some sleep.I was slightly nervous because this was my very first time to meet people for the purpose of business.I hardly slept, when my alarm started to buzz.It's 6 in the morning.
