Chapter-18 15 Days-The countdown begins

             After the cute little fight between Natasha and Darshan and 15 days ultimatum given by caller life was not easy for Natasha. She didn't know how to move further. Natasha had almost blurted out that she has started liking Darshan, but she knew when he will come to know about her encounter with anonymous caller and her decision to help him out, he will hate her because she didn't know his part of the story. Natasha wanted to know his part of story before planning her course of action.

         Siddhart her friend was working with her to find who this caller was and how was he connected with Darshan's past. Only way according to him to find out the truth was to get to know him closely. This thing scared Natasha a lot. She knew  that will cause a lot of pain for her. But then there was no way around.

            Natasha was keeping herself  busy to distract her from unwanted thoughts. She was getting constant threatening calls from the caller. She was tired but didn't know what to do. At one point of time she got soo irritated with the calls that she almost screamed at the caller that she needs some time and she can't go and kill Darshan just like that.

        For a moment the caller was silent as if he was processing what she said but the very next moment he said " Ohhh i think I should reduce the time gap. I can see you are not ready to co-operate with me then why should I give you so much consideration. What say Natasha should I reduce it or not". Natasha was almost choked and started sobbing while saying "No no please listen to me you told me to make him fall for me, to... to win his trust. How is this possible. He will never fall in love with me. He is a celebrity, I am just an ordinary girl how is that even possible. That's the the reason I wanted some time. Sorry i raised my voice, but please understand my point of view too". To this  the caller gave her devilish smirk, " He is already in love with you Natasha. Come on don't tell me you don't feel it. If not why the hell would he help you out of the way. Now please don't tell me just because he thinks you are his good friend. I know him very nicely. He is in love with you so go ahead and do as I say and don't try to be smart with me " With this he ended the call leaving Natasha happy, confused and sad at the same time. Happy because the caller thought Darshan loves her,confused because if he does than why didn't he confess it and sad because if the plan didn't work according to her liking then she might lose both Ish and Darshan.

         With very less time left with her she didn't know where to start and how to start. All she knew was whatever she has to do, she has to do it really fast.

          It was Friday morning and today Revu was to join her as she had her diwali vacation. It was Natasha's first diwali in her new house and if the situation was good she had many plans to make it special. But with the ongoing tension in her life she had lost the interest to celebrate it. It was then she got a call from Amaira.

Amaira - Hey Nats. How are you? Is it good time to talk.

Natasha- Hi am good. How have you been and when did you come back from  US.

Amaira- Am good too Nats. Well I came back yesterday and I have called to invite you for Diwali party at my farmhouse in the outskirts of Mumbai.Please don't say  no. I know you might be busy but please try to make it. It's tomorrow by the way. And please bring Revu too if she is to join you.

Natasha-  Thank you so much Amaira for the invite but outskirts of Mumbai...

Amaira- Come on its not outer space. We all will have good time together. There will be only few of us. You, me, Neil Revu,Darshan and his friends that's it. So just chill. Please come na. It would be fun.
