Amavasya Ki Raat (Moonless Night) Chapter 18

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

And here's the final clip... after this, I returned.

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

That boy... Yuvraj, who is he?

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

There is nothing to be concerned about, even though he might be your enemy. 😏😏

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

I do not give a damn if he is my enemy. ❄️

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Oh, isn't that just perfect? He's not only your arch-nemesis, but also your future wife's BFF! *Tease*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

BFF.

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Absolutely, let's wrap things up!

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

I'm starving, and food sounds amazing right about now. Shall we head out and grab some lunch?

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

We're discussing work, not food. Focus!

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

What's my mistake here? I simply don't enjoy the work, that's all.

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

*Rolls his eyes, as if the answer should be obvious*

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Anyway, I was saying, Miss Chand is gorgeous, but seriously, why is she marrying you?

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Did you, by any chance, coerce her into it?

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Please, tell me the truth. I wouldn't want you to ruin this beautiful girl's life. 😓😓

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

She deserves so much better than... well, you.

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Expressionless face* If you're quite done with your dramatics, you're free to leave.

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

Otherwise, you'll be on the next flight back to Kolkata. Your choice.

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

Bhai, I'm with you through thick and thin. Even if you decide to renounce the world and take sanyas, I'll stand by your side.

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

This is a promise from a Chandravanshi - unwavering and unshakeable.

Aakash Kapoor (ML Friend/Spy)

—Later, Aakash excused himself to grab lunch, leaving Mrityunjay alone—

—Mrityunjay's gaze remained fixed on the file in front of him, containing information about his soon-to-be wife—

—As he flipped through the pages, his eyes scanned the details, until one particular entry caught his attention - Chand's occupation—

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

So, Miss Bangles is working here, huh...

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Turns the page, gaze falls on her photo*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

She looks stunning in pink... *Voice trails off, eyes locked on her image*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Gently caresses her hair in the photo* Her jet black hair is lovely...

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Fingers trace her forehead, down to her eyes* And those eyes... absolutely beautiful.

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Gaze lingers on her lips*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

She has... incredibly soft lips. *Mumbles to himself, lost in thought*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Frowns* Wait a minute... what am I doing?

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

This isn't right! *Abruptly closes the file with a sharp thud*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

I shouldn't be getting so caught up over her like this!

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

But...

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Took a hesitant glance at the file*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at it from the side*

—He gulped, his Adam's apple bobbing as he moistened his dry throat—

—For a moment, he simply stared at the file, his fingers moving with restraint—

—Finally, he reached out, and picked up the file—

—He gently pulled out a small photo that fit nicely in the palm of his hand—

—The image showed her facing the camera, a bright smile lighting up her face as she tilted her head, exuding an effortless charm—

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Caressing the photo*

—With deliberate slowness, Mrityunjay carefully extracted every photo of her from the file, his eyes scanning each image with interest—

—What struck him as peculiar was that in every single picture, she was dressed in a business suit - whether it was a formal meeting, a conference, or even a business party—

—The consistency of her attire was almost amusing—

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Low, husky chuckle* (Always impeccably dressed, always so... professional.)

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Pulled out another photo, expression turned puzzled* Does she... blush?

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*A faint smile spread across his face as a memory surfaced*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

Oh, yes... she does blush.

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Recalled the moment she had blushed in front of him*

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

She does... *Sigh*

—PHONE RANG—

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Frowns at the caller ID* Why is she calling?

Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)

*Answered it* Hello?
