OBSESSION

5. The Party

     WARNING:- NOT PROOFREAD

As soon as Avni entered her flat, she slouched on the couch in the living room, heaving a sigh of relief. Her mind took her to the words said by Neil, about her.

"Neil Neil Neeeiilll... I hate you so much. I can't change the truth by saying this right. That how much I loved you! Yeah... I don't love you anymore until the second you said I've been that Someone Special to you... With that one word, you win all my Heart, Neil.

"But if all of my hatred I've been carrying inside me get smashed like a single snap, what's there for all my years I've waited? Right? You still love that little, bubbly Ayesha even today. But, that Ayesha is no more, Neil. She died that day. Now, this Avni has no fear and she's not scared of anyone. This is my strength. Y'all have to face my wrath." Closing her eyes, Avni heaved a sigh and opened them to see her best friend in front of her. 

"Bittu? When did you come?" She asked while confusion was written all over her face. "When you were lost in your Neil's thoughts, then." Avni's face lost its colors when she heard that from him. 

"Bittu..." "Okay baba, I'm just kidding!" Saying he hugged her while throwing his phone on the couch. 

"Chalo Chalo. Get ready for the party!" Parting from him, Avni remembered him about the Party. "Oh yeah... Chalo"

Entering the Venue Avni adjusted her hair for one last time and clasped her right arm to Parth's left arm. Smiling at each other, they moved inside to witness already people who were high and swaying their sweaty bodies along with the beats.

"He's there!" Parth whispered in Avni's ear which made her snap her head towards him and then his gaze. There she spotted him, among all the group of so-called Sophisticated, Renowned, and Prestigious Families. Calming down her raising heartbeats, she smiled to herself and then treaded towards them with Parth. 

"Hey, Neil, Happy Birthday Man." Parth hugged him as soon as Neil turned around. 

"Thanks, yaar" Neil replied while reciprocating the hug. That's when his orbs caught her petite figure, standing beside Parth with a Wide Smile that can boost anyone's energy. His smile broke into a huge grin as he parted and Hugged her whispering a "Thank You" in her ear, making her shudder under his cold touch.

Soon Neil has caught up with his friends and family while Avni just stood there having her whiskey while observing the people who destroyed her long ago and whom she wanted to destroy now. She clutched the glass tightly whenever she saw them grinning ear to ear at the guests. A Tap on her shoulder broke her trance as she looked ahead to see Neil with Maya and their Mothers. She was blank for a second before wishing a Hi to Maya. 

"Avni this is mother Vaani and this is Neil's Mother Shwetha" Maya introduced the middle-aged women and that's when Avni actually started to get suffocated. 

"Namastey Aunty. Nice to meet you" Covering her hatred with a toothy smile, Avni shook her hands with both of them as they all sat in silence for a minute. 

"Aunty, she's the one who gifted Neil that Bracelet" Shweta looked amazed at the Mention of her son's favorite bracelet gifted by this girl. 

"Really?" Avni gave a lip tight smile in return to her question while Shweta's lips curved upwards again. Avni looked at Neil who excused himself for a moment and now attending someone.
