The Enemies

Chapter 27

Here's another update!!

Naira's POV

" Is my brother seriously sleeping right now??" I asked his personal bodyguard

" Yes ma'am, he hasn't came out of his room yet" he said with a neutral tone.

We have a wedding to plan and he is sleeping, really??, I knocked on the door but no one answered and moreover his door was locked, I just shouted one last time and headed for breakfast.

" Where's Rishi?" Dad enquired as soon as he saw me.

" Still in his dream world" I said, he should be really serious about the wedding, Laurel is a very nice girl, she's from a simple family background and was in this city to complete her studies.

" Ya , dream of my to be bride" Rishi shouted while descending the stairs.

" What took you so long?" Rohan asked

And then the bell rang

" Ah! Here she is" Rishi said with excitement and went to open the door

Laurel was standing at the door with her luggage, her strands of blonde hair covering her face which she was hopelessly trying to tuck behind her ear. She was playing with her fingers and was really nervous

" Hey everyone, I'm Laurel" she said in her timid voice

Well anyone can be nervous, with my father's and brothers intimidating figures, I smiled and then hugged her.

" Welcome to the family!!" I said and she smiled shyly

" She was living alone in her apartment, I asked her to live here, in that way Naira can help her with everything and she will be safe" Rishi said

Peter nodded approving on his son's wise decision

" That's really sweet of you son, why don't you show her around" my mom said while hugging Laurel and smiling sweetly at her

" This is my brother Rohan and my sister Naira" Rishi said signalling towards Rohan and me

" I never heard about you , but I've heard about Rohan so much" she said

" Well I expect all the good things" Rohan said

" You never told me, you have a sister" Laurel asked

I was surprised, Rishi didn't told her, well I'm still unknown to the world, dad said that in the next party he would introduce me, which is Rohan's birthday.

" He will tell you everything" Mom assured her

Laurel knew everything about Rishi, she knew what danger will come to her if she loves Rishi and she has gladly accepted it. True Love.

True Love, I've experienced it once but it left a very painful experience.

..................

After a few days

I have been very busy for the last few days, dad said that he would invite all his alliances and business friends, so we have to make a guest list very carefully, because one mistake or one name forgotten can lead to a war and I mean it.

I've been in my room getting dolled up for the last 3 hours, the makeup artist and the hair stylist were trying to achieve perfection, even Laurel was going through the same process, I feel bad for her because she is not used to all these things, she literally fainted when my mom mentioned it.

I was in the hallway waiting for Laurel.

" Hey Naira, you look beautiful" Laurel said while trying to walk in her heels

" And you look like an angel, my brother is going to go crazy when he will see you" I said and she blushed.

" C'mon let's go, walk with confidence, don't let these people get to you, got it?" I said

" How you even cope up with all this" she said looking at the crown in the hall through the balcony

" It's nothing, just do your business and ignore everyone else" I said and grabbed her hand and we went downstairs

Everyone's eyes were on us, even I felt uncomfortable, we spotted Rohan in the corner talking to father , so we went towards them.

" Two gorgeous ladies !" He exclaimed when he looked at us.

" Where's Rishi?" I asked

" Oh he might be somewhere but now it is the time to address the gathering" my father said and he went to the stage

I tensed up. Father went to the stage and tapped the mic for attention which he got immediately . All the faces were towards him, so I was just looking at them randomly which is when I lost my breath, he was here. We didn't send him any invitation then why was he here?

" Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really thankful to all of you for joining this party, it's my son's birthday, Happy Birthday Rohan!!" The crowd cheered and Rohan shyly nodded .

" There are few important announcements that I have to make, My son Rishi is going to get married to Laurel , a beautiful lady " the crowd shouted congratulations.

" So how about we start the party with a dance ?" My father said, he is really happy today and here I am on the verge of fainting

" Rishi and Laurel will you please start the dance" Peter said , both Rishi and Laurel came at the centre of the hall and took their couple dance positions, they looked great with eachother.

" Oh! And Will Rohan and Naira Jones, my daughter do the honour by joining the dance?" My father said and everyone gasped at 'my daughter'.

Rohan nodded and he took my hand and we also joined Rishi and Laurel . Everyone's eyes was on me.

" Don't look at anyone, just look at me, everything's gonna be alright" Rohan tried to ease my tension.

We danced for sometime and then I sneaked out to the open air balcony, I knew he would have seen me and I want to avoid him as much as I can.

" Ms.Naira Jones?" A voice called out, I knew that voice very well, that voice which makes my heart swell and even pain in the same time.

I turned around and met with his dark brown eyes, he looked at me with a smirking face and his hands in his trouser's pocket, he walked towards me while I backed away and leaned on the railing but he didn't stop.

" Kartik, I can explain..." I said

He just kept smirking and kept walking towards me, I unconsciously leaned more and more on the railing, and when he took out his one hand from the pocket and advanced it towards me, my heels slipped and the last thing I remember is the feeling of falling in darkness of the world.
