Chapter 17

Kiara

Sleeping is the greatest comfort of all, it's my sole motto!

But as I had promised earlier, I literally got up after about 2 hours to see Neil sitting on the edge of the bed scrolling through his mobile.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked while rubbing my eyes and throwing the blanket beside me.

"Because you were sleeping very soundly and I had some urgent phone calls to make, so I didn't think that waking you up would be necessary, plus, night markets are more beautiful after 8 pm, the room service guy told me." He informed.

"Oh, so I'll get ready soon, see it's already 7:30." I said pointing at the clock and stood up from the bed to get ready.

.

.

.

I soon got ready in my outfit which was nothing but black ankle-length jeans with a crop top and then finally a beige coat.

Do not say anything about my fashion sense, I know it is bad, but this is I guess 1st time that I'm wearing casuals that are not chosen by Prisha and even not styled by her.

She is the one, who mostly styles me, she has so Good fashion sense, that people would certainly doubt us being best friends.

Enough of the talks, I'm already getting late.

"C'mon Neil, Let's go I'm ready." I said in a cheerful voice picking my sling bag from the table.

"Yup, let's go... By the way, you're looking really beautiful." He complimented and I was on cloud 9 hearing someone praise me

Here's another fact about me, I just love, when anyone praises me!

"Thank you so much!" I said and we both went out on our spree of viewing the beauty.

Since the night market that we had decided to go, to was nearby the hotel we were staying in, we decided to take a walk till there.

.

.

Soon we reached there and I was just shocked and surprised to see the decoration, I just couldn't control myself from clicking pictures here and there and then video calling Prisha.

Trring

"Hey Kiara, How are you? did you reach safely?" I heard Mom ask.

wait a minute.

I realised something, and looked at my phone's screening before again speaking up,

"Hello Mom, I'm fine and yes I reached safely. How come you have Prisha's phone?" I asked her.

"Dude when she has the whole me, how can she not have my phone" I heard Prisha say in an excited tone.

"Prisha, what are you doing with my mother in law?" I asked, feeling a little envious.

"Oh, she's just not yours but also Mine." Prisha said pressuring on mine and I couldn't do anything but say,

"Do whatever you want, I'll be the favourite one." I said to her in a confident challenging tone .

"Haww, not true, just let me come here after marriage then we'll see who's her favourite." she replied in the same tone.

Before I could even reply I heard Mom yell,

"I seriously doubt that you both are best friends, continuously fighting!"  She angrily said and we both gave her a sad pout which she royally ignored .

"So Kiara, why did you call?" Mom asked and then I realised that I'm in the middle of market, fighting with Prisha on a video call and Neil is nowhere to be seen.

"I called you to see the decoration, but I guess there are some technical problems" I said hurriedly while moving my eyes here and there looking for Neil, but I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Ok, Kiara, No problem, send pics soon we'll be waiting." Mom said with a smile.

"Sure Mom, bye!" I replied.

"Bye dear."

"Make me an aunt soon." I hear Prisha before the line disconnected.

This best friend of mine

I soon realised it was not an appropriate time to get angry with her first I should find him.

Where did this man go?

You see, this is why I don't like this generation, they are so excited to wander here and there, they don't care even about informing.

I know, I would've sounded like my mother, but this Guy!

After at least a whole 10 minute search, talking with all the street vendors, I finally found him, sitting and peacefully having soup, sitting on a bench and here I was so stressed about him.

"You dear foolish husband of mine!" I angrily looked at him, pointing my finger towards him in an accusing manner.

"What?" He asked, looking up, clearly confused.

"Where were you? Do you know how much stressed I was that I wasn't able to find you, and where's your phone? Normally you won't even leave it even a second and here I called you at least 5-6 times still you didn't answer it!" I yelled at him, really furious about his behavior.

"It died." he said innocently.

"What?" I questioned, irritatingly, not knowing what really he meant.

"My phone, it died, so I was not able to contact you, and it was you who forgot about me in the first place, now you don't get the right to scold me." he said defending himself.

"Dude, even you know you can't defend yourself, then why do you even try?" I asked.

"Sorry, I know I shouldn't have left you behind, but it's almost the first time, I'm travelling and it's not for a business meeting, so I just got excited." He said.

"That's not a problem, but next time remember to charge your phone before leaving anywhere." I said.

"Sure, even you remember next time to look if the person whom you're roaming with is there or not." He said giving me a smile.

"Sure!" I replied with a small smile.

"By the way, what you're having, let me taste it." I said casually, trying to take the spoon.

"Nope, it's really delicious, it's for me, plus you earn right, go and be self-independent." He said, taking the soup away from me.

"You literally own a whole company and still can't give money worth a soup, hmph, Miser" I said twisting my mouth and going towards the soup vendor.

"I want a chicken soup" I ordered.

'"ere ma'am, take this" The person immediately gave me the soup.

"It's ready. Wow, so instant service!" I praised him .

"No ma'am, actually the serving time for soup is 5 minutes, but that gentleman over there had already said that a beautiful lady will come and order chicken soup, so prepare it beforehand"   he said pointing towards Neil, and I smiled a little taking the soup and giving him the money.

"He has paid for it, ma'am "

.

.

"You really like when I'm pissed, don't you?" I questioned.

"Yes, it's my most liked hobby." he replied smiling with zero shame.

"So, what's the plan for tomorrow?" I asked, curiously.

"Nothing, we'll go to see the Eiffel tower tomorrow and visit some places here and there, then the next day we'll go to the Louvre museum, and the rest of the places and then the day after that we'll fly back." He said as if he had memorised it as some lesson for examination.

"See Neil, there's a club, let's go!" I said holding his hand and literally dragging him towards the club

"No Kiara, you know right, you can't handle a single drin." he said making me remember our wedding night, but I was more than excited to go.

"Pretty please." I said, giving him the puppy eyes.

"No means no!" He said sternly and I knew that I won't be able to go to the club anytime during these 6 months .

Dang, I had kind of forgotten too, that I will have to leave him after six months, I just hope that someday we might be able to live forgetting the contract, but what to do now, regretting is not gonna help .

"Kiara, where are you lost?" Neil asked shaking me a little.

"No-nowhere, come let's have some food so that we can go and sleep."

"Sleepyhead." He taunted and ran away making me run behind him to Catch him and tell him the cost of taunting the great Kiara Mehra

But as said earlier, I was not even able to run after him even for a minute.

"Stop, Stop, Stop, Time-please." I said while holding my stomach and inhaling all the oxygen I could.

"Oh shit, Kiara, you're fine right." He asked me in a concerned tone, and all I could do was shake my head in no.

Seriously, I felt that I would die the next moment due to lack of oxygen and also my dear legs decided to betray me by starting to ache really bad and I felt I would fall down, that's when I felt the weight on my legs disappear and me floating in the sky.

"No, I don't want to go to heaven too soon" I prayed, closing my eyes.

" You aren't going to go somewhere so soon, at least not to heaven" I opened my eyes to see that I'm alive and I was floating because Neil had picked me up.

"Thank god, I was afraid, who's gonna torture you next 6 months." I said in a sarcastic concerned tone to which we both laughed.

"The next time you decide to chase me, remember I'm really competitive and won't pick you up." He replied, bluntly.

"Huh-Sure."

"So, let's go directly to the hotel." He said and I just hummed in response putting my hands around his neck and smiled.

"This looks so filmy." I said all of a sudden.

"What?"

"This you picking me up, it just looks like the typical drama, a hero is picking up his heroine." I said, clearly his doubt.

"Oh, you think so? Thank god, anyways my hands were paining, you're really heavy." He said putting me down.

"That's rude and mean, and I'm pretty lightweight, it's you who can't even pick up a feather-like body, even spending an hour every day at the gym." I said provoking him but all he did was ignore me, and we both silently walked towards our hotel.

Just to tell you all, silence usually kills me, but when we both are surrounded by silence it's really comfortable.

Soon we reached our hotel and before entering I saw something which made my eyes shine more than glitter.

A CHOCOLATE STALL

Normally I hate sweets, but chocolates are chocolates, they aren't in the sweet category, they have their own category.

"Neil, come let's buy some chocolates, and you can't say no, you've already made me enough sad by not allowing me to go to the pub.: I said and he seem to think a lot before replying a yes after which I literally ran towards that stall and bought some chocolates for both of us.

I couldn't control myself and started having the chocolates one by one but after having 5 of them I started filling a little dizzy.

"Kiara, you're fine?" He asked with concern.

"Yes, just my head started spinning a little." I said and he quickly took the bag of chocolates from me, observed them and gave him his infamous disappointed look.

"These are alcohol-based chocolates, Kiara, don't tell me you didn't check before buying." He asked me in a serious tone while I nodded shamelessly and started jumping on the road.

Suddenly, my mind felt that I couldn't control my body anymore as I started hopping reaching towards the hotel in the most kiddish manner, due to which Neil had to again pick me up to our bedroom and made me lie down on the bed and lied beside me.

"Kiara, enough now, sleep!" Neil ordered me stopping me from moving like a lunatic.

But my drunk self could hardly process him shushing me down before my already unconscious mind dragged my body towards him and cuddled him like he was some sort of my birthday gift teddy bear, before completely falling unconscious.
