IPKKND : Darkness Awaits {CH 5-PG 40}

IPKKND FF :Darkness Awaits

~Prologue~

2 am in Delhi was the best time to gaze up at the starry morning where stars gazed back at you. Nonsense right? But at least according to Khushi Kumari Gupta they did. She stared at them with a glint of happiness in her eyes while sipping down her steaming hot gingered tea. The cornered counter tables near the large window were one of her favorite place at this time of the night where the cafeteria of her twenty-five floored office was completely empty and quite. Made it easier for her to admire those twinkling stars that surrounded her as if hugging her into a warm hug. Specifically those giant two connect stars that refreshed her more than the tea did.

"Khushi! Break time over" she heard the echo, whose source was standing near the entrance. "Ughh NK! I can hear you know..not deaf" frowned Khushi point towards her ear like she could hear. "Yeah right, I have been calling on your phone since last ten minutes!! But those stupid stars had too much of your attention" explained NK with dripping sarcasm as Khushi joined him to walk down to their office floor. "They are not stupid!! I left my phone downstairs dumbo" she grinned before smacking his shoulder for calling those beautiful lights stupid.

2:15 am at Shantiwan was the worst time to sit out near a poolside, especially when, staring up at those millions of lights was the only option. What the hell right? Well in Arnav Singh Raizada's language they were just millions of light. Taking a gulp from his hot streaming black coffee he stared up at the empty sky curiously. The dark night colored in black with a dust of navy blue would be a fantastic color coordination and the next moment he was up on his feet to make use of the gloomy lonesome night.

The low buzz caused her to jump out of her blanket like it was some sort of nightmare. "Y-Yes ASR? Is everything ok?" she sleepily enquired trying not to yawn. "Lavanya I need you to call our New york office and inform them that I have decided to change our color of the month theme to something else. I will send it to them by tomorrow morning. Are you listening to me?" he impatiently instructed to a half sleeping Lavanya who had managed to hear half of what he said. "But can't it wait till morning ASR?" a long yawn escaped from her mouth. "Wash you face and get to work. NOW." he ordered and with a tone that woke her up without the need of water.
