chapter 64

"You are looking so beautiful" Shashank let out a compliment and Manasvini shifted her gaze towards him.He was wearing a lemonade pink three-piece suit. He paired them with a white shirt and wooden Brown shoes."Although this isn't what I sent you still..." He added then stopped midway. He was just staring at her."Is there something on my face?" She asked as she thought the reason behind his pause was maybe her makeup got smudged. "How come you are so pretty?" He replied. Of course, his flirting skills are top-notch. "..." In return, she flashed a small smile. Some more guests arrived and Aadarsh asked him to come over."Wait here I'll be back soon" he added with a smile before leaving and she nodded.On the other hand, Aarav's phone was continuously ringing. He ignored the call at first but it was ringing again and again. After 11 missed calls he finally decided to pick it up, it was a call from a restricted caller ID. The party was still going on so he went to the terrace area as the hall was on the 13th floor. Party was going well and Shashank made an announcement about the completion of their joint project and also introduced the upcoming project of the MM group. After that, he invited the guests to the dance floor. Manasvini felt more left out as she was always bad at dancing. It was super uncomfortable for her to stay there, so she thought about getting some fresh air. She was moving towards the deck area but Shashank came in her way..."Are you going somewhere?" He asked"I'm just..." She said and he carried out her words"Then allow me to take the honour of dancing with the world's most beautiful girl" he bowed and put forward his hand in front of her."I am really bad at dancing" she added"Don't worry, just follow my lead" he asserted holding her hand...The next moment, they were on the dance floor, he placed his hand on her waist and pulled her closer to himself. Her hand was resting on his shoulder. He held her other hand gently. The music began and they started moving to the beats...They danced for just two minutes and she was uncomfortable so she asked for his permission to leave the dance floor...He nodded and she went outside to the terrace area. Aarav was already there busy on his phone. Seeing him there, she thought about getting back inside. She doesn't want to engage herself in any kind of talk. She was just looking for a quiet spot to ease her mind. She sighed and moved her gaze away from him... She was disappointed with the thing he did earlier. Aarav came with Lily but ditched her to go with Manasvini. In reality, that disappointment wasn't because of him it was over Vihaan... Because he left her there... alone.She was about to get back inside but she saw someone moving towards Aarav. She didn't see the face of that person but light got reflected from something that he was holding in his hand and she caught a glimpse of it... It was a knife. Aarav was facing in another direction, he didn't observe that person coming towards him. That man was quietly sneaking near Aarav and..."AARAV" She ran towards him, and he turned back.That man swung his hand and stabbed the knife into the body of the person who was standing in front of him... In a blink, everything became calm... Warm red liquid began dripping on the floor...
