27. Strip part 1

A N Y A

The next day Aditya announced about a business party, a small award ceremony for fun,where all the family members were invited.

I got ready and wore a beautiful saree which Aditya brought specially for the party. I was wearing my earrings when he came inside the room. I turned to face him but without saying anything he took his clothes and went inside the washroom. He can never change !!!!

As it was taking him too long , I went downstairs. Kriti was sitting on the couch, all ready and pretty in a red kurti. I sat beside her. She put her phone down.

"Bhabhi you are looking soo pretty"

"You are looking too"

"I am confused how bhaiya let you come down-"

I widened my eyes and she stopped.

Soon everyone came downstairs. We went outside to sit in the car. Kriti sat with us as Maa and papa were sitting in Advit's car. I glanced sometimes towards Aditya but he didn't even look at me for once. Am I not looking pretty ?

We entered the venue. It's too big, pretty. As Aditya went ahead of me with Advit, I walked with kriti and Dhani. Its my first time for business party. I never came once in my life till now. New experience.

Soo many people were there. At first the awards will be distributed then the party will begin. I sat beside Dhani and Advit. It's a table for four people. Aditya and kriti are sitting with Maa and papa. I thought he will sit with me. Anyways....

I tried to listen what Advit and Dhani were talking but for me it's too boring. I can't even understand a single thing. Business is not my type of thing.

Soon I sensed someone's presence beside me so I turned to look, it was Aditya. But he was busy in his phone. I pouted and looked away.

A man, in his 30s, came infront of our table. He was continuously talking with Dhani and Advit was glaring at him. Is he jealous ? I tried to surpass my smile. I shouldn't smile at serious things.

Suddenly the man took Dhani's hands and kissed it. I was literally shocked. Maybe it's a guesture for rich people.

As the man went away from the table, I heard Advit and Dhani arguing in whisper.

"It's not a big deal" Dhani said.

"For me it is. You shouldn't be this open"

"And why ?"

"You are married Dhani. Papa will be angry if he knows about it"

"I think you are angry more"

"I think it's useless to talk" Advit ji stood up and went to sit beside kriti.

"Are you done doing eavesdroping?" I looked at Aditya as he said that

"I wasn't"

"You were"

I looked away and he chuckled at my reaction.

Soon the prize started distributing. And Aditya got the prize for best CEO.

He pecked my lips before going onto the stage. The lights were dim so I don't think anyone noticed.

I stood up to take photos of him but tall people were standing infront of me. I tried to tip toe but it didn't helped. At last I gave up but I think Aditya noticed it.

"Gentelman can you pls step aside my wife wants to click some pictures of me"

Everyone's eyes dropped on me. I am feeling too shy now. But they really moved aside so that I can take his pic. I took photo immediately and stepped beside Dhani to hide myself from their gaze.

As the prize distribution ended, the party began

I stood beside Aditya as he was talking to his business frnds or clients whatever. I just looked around to see if Rohan bhaiya is here too ? But I don't think he can because he isn't a big businessman.

My eyes dropped on Reyansh. He is also here ? It means he is also a business man, rich one.

He looked at my direction and bowed me a little. I also bowed. He looks different, like the one who came to greet me that day was looking like Ansh but right now he is ....more like Aditya. But there's a difference, Reyansh have expressions while talking with other people.

"You want something? You will get bore here" Aditya said as I was standing still from 10 minutes. I shook my head. I can stand beside kriti too but she is also busy in taking with her some frnds. I don't want to disturb her. She never go out from the house. Even if she is wearing a kurti, she is looking pretty.

Soon after some time dance started, couple dance. I also want to do it with Aditya. But he is too busy in talking. I exhaled in sadness.

A man came in my direction and stood infront of me.

"Can you join with me?" He held his hands infront of me. I looked at Aditya, he just stared at the man.

"Oh..Aditya can I steal your wife for a minute?"

It looks like he knows Aditya. Aditya didn't said anything like it's a staring competition.

"Come my lady. He won't say anything" He took my hands and pulled me into the dance floor.

As he was guiding me into the dance, I glanced at Aditya. He is still looking at my direction. I shouldn't have came with this man.

"What's your name pretty ? I'm Raghav"

"Anya. Anya Singhania"

"Pretty name for a pretty woman"

"You look like his frnd"

"Oh..oh..oh. yeah we are very close frnd"

But for what I remember, Aditya never said he has frnd. But who knows ? He never tells me anything.

"What are you doing with him, Miss ?"

"He is my husband"

"Doesn't look like"

"Huh ?"

"A husband can't see his wife with another man. But look he is too busy in talking with others. There are woman too"

I turned to look at Aditya. True. He isn't looking at me like he was doing a moment ago. He is too busy in talking with his partners, woman too.

"Well. It's his habit. Didn't knew that a sweet girl like you will be his wife"

"You know him since long ?"

"Yes. I know everything about him. You can ask. I don't think he will tell you his dark secrets."

"Dark secrets?"

"Yes. He is a killer"

I stared at him. What he is saying ? My husband, a killer ?

"You won't trust me. But I'm ready to tell you everything. But not here , somewhere alone. Somewhere only you and me"

It's not feeling right. The way he is saying. It...it's giving me bad vibes. How should I detangle me ?

"And let me tell you one truth. He doesn't love you . If you are thinking He loves you, you are mistaken, prettty. For him, you are just a puppet to distract his enemies"

His words roamed in my head. He doesn't love you, he doesn't love you. I inhaled sharply and looked away. Why it's affecting me ? I shouldn't trust stranger. Or maybe his frnd ?

I excused myself and went towards the washroom alone. Dark secrets? Killer ? He doesn't love me ? Puppet ?

Stop anya don't trust some random people out there.

I heard some footsteps following me. I increased my pace. And good news i got lost in the venue. Where was the washroom?

I turned around as the footsteps stopped behind me. I saw Reyansh and inhaled in relief.

"You scared me"

"I was just passing by" He shrugged and smiled a little.

"Can you guide me to the washroom ?" I asked as searching by myself it's too risky as it's a huge venue. He nodded.

"Well..you are like little brother to Aditya right ?" I asked. I never talked to Reyansh so I thought it would be good to have some little conversation with him.

"Yes. I think so" He said.

"Do...you know Aditya well ?" I asked being confused if I should I ask it or not

"I know him but I also don't know him well. He told me little about himself. Ansh tell me everything. He shouldn't but he does"

"Oh. By the way where is Ansh ji ?"

"Probably with his wife"

I nodded. We reached the washroom and I thanked him.

I came back from the washroom and stood beside Aditya but he didn't say anything.

"Uhm..." I thought to say something.

"Wanna go home ?"

I stared at him. The party isn't over then ? I looked around and saw Maa and papa aren't there too. Only Advit and Dhani are talking to their partners.

I nodded. He took me to the car. Kriti also wasn't there. They left for the home early ? I thought they would stay till the end.

As we reached the mansion , he still didn't talk about that matter. He will probably talk when we will reach the room. He was talking to Advit, so I entered the room first.

I entered the washroom to change. I think I should take a shower. As I was about to remove my jewelers , Aditya entered the washroom.

I focused on opening my jewels.

"You know, you are looking soo beautiful"

"Huh ? Thank-"

"Strip"
