Ruhaan's POV

"Happy birthday Mr. Ahuja" I wished the man in his mid 50s

"Thank you son" He said while shaking my hands

The party hall is quiet big with purple lights illuminating the hall with chandelier hanging around giving it a royal look

Mr. Ahuja, our partners since the time when dad was handling the business and it was important for us to attend his birthday party

Other family members couldn't join since they had to go to jaipur where my grandfather's brothers family lives. I am not really a fan of them since all they know is how to put others down

Well not everyone is bad chote dadu and choti dadi and their elder son are good, but excluding them all others are evil and I try to keep minimum conversation with them because I know I will lash out on all of them if even one person says something negative

Chote dadu= grandfather's younger brother

Choti dadi=grandfather's younger brothers wife

Choti dadi wasn't feeling good so everyone went to visit her except us youngsters since Aarav Aarya had their college and Nidhi Aarhan and I had our work

Our parents and grandparents will probably come after a week or so. It's not like they have a good relationship with our uncles and their wives but they're staying there since it's been a long time they have been there in the Jaipur haveli

Haveli= palace

Chote dadu and choti dadi have three children's. Elder son, then daughter and younger son

The elder son Devesh Singh Rajput and his wife have two children together. Divya and Dhruv. They're better than other cousins since they got their parents personality

Our cousin bua has three kids. Kashvi, Aditya and pranav. They're the definition of spoilt brats. We don't meet often so that's a plus point

The bua is evil but not as evil as my real bua who's is a spawn of satan she lives in other city but won't stop meddling in our lives

Then the younger son Bharat Singh Rajput and his wife has two kids. Viraj and Sanvi, they're tolerable but I'd prefer not to have any contact with them

When people say Dad side of the family is bad they're right

I was sipping wine when someone smacked my shoulder, fortunately the wine didn't spill on me

"Wassup bro" An annoying voice came from behind me. I didn't need to turn around to see who it was

I turned around to face two annoying people. Rayan Shah and Kabir Sharma. My two best friends

Our parents were family friends and that made us best friends. They both handle their own family business so we don't really get time to meet each other, but we make sure to check on each other ones in a while

They both were wearing a suit. Kabir was wearing navy blue blazer with white shirt and blue jeans. Rayan was wearing a beige blazer and suit pant with black shirt while I was wearing a white shirt with black tie, blazer and suit pant

"What do you want?" I asked while rolling my eyes

"We can't even talk to out best friend now, you break my heart" Kabir gasps while keeping his hand on his right

chest

Rayan takes a hold of Kabir's hand and says

"Heart is on the left side"

Kabir is the fun guy while Rayan is the quiet one while I prefer to be uninvested in things which don't concern me, I'm a cold person and I have no hesitation in agreeing to it.

"Jazbat ko samjho yaar" Kabir whines

Understand the feelings man

We all are just standing and talking when someones voice disturbs us, we turned to see who it was.

"Hello I am Tina" Damn why is her voice so screechy, I had to physically stop myself from cringing

She looks around our age, she's wearing a tight black dress which reaches her mid thigh, which is more suitable for club

We three just nodded at her knowing what was going to come ahead

"Will you dance with me?" She asks while looking at me

"No" I don't need to give her justification as to why I am declining her offer

"Oh come on you don't need to play hard to get , I know you want me" She said while twirling her hair around her finger

"Please leave if you don't want to get insulted in front of everyone" Rayan said while taking a sip of his whiskey

She huffed and went to another prey, girls like these exhaust me

"I'm done with the party I'm going home" I said while keeping my wine glass on the bar counter

Kabir and Rayan also decided to leave with me, we bid our farewell to Mr. Ahuja and went towards the exit and messaged my driver to get the car to the front

I always drive the car myself but for parties and events I prefer taking a driver with me so I can leave immediately from the place and it's always better to just sit in the car and go then let the reporters follow me till where the car is parked

All our three cars were parked at the entrance with our respective drivers standing outside

I gave a bro hug to both of them and we settled in our respective cars and headed home

They both live close by while I am at least 1 hour away from both their house

I removed my suit jacket and kept it beside me and loosened the tie which was suffocating me and rested my head on the head restraint and leaned back against the back rest and closed my eyes

Working for hours, dealing with lazy employees is tiring and attending this party just added to my exhaustion plus no contact with Tarini is making me even more grumpy

I soon reached home and collected my blazer and tie and told the driver to go home with the car since it was already late. He is one of the faithful employees so I know I can trust him

I went inside my house and saw that Aarhan, Nidhi, Aarav and Aalia sitting in the living room and playing ludo

I rolled my eyes at them and sat on the single sofa chair and kept my blazer on the arm of the chair

"Are you all kids playing ludo?" I asked while looking at them

"Just because you are boring doesn't mean we have to be boring too Bhai" Aarav said while rolling the dice

"And just because I don't want to indulge in these childish games doesn't make me boring" I said while rolling my eyes

"Really? Then tell me what do you do apart from working?" All the attention was on me now

"I read books, I workout and I paint"

"All these comes under boring" Nidhi retorted

"Well maybe we have different characteristics of boring. I am tired I'm going to bed good night" I said while collecting my blazer and walking upstairs towards my room

They wished me back and continued their game

I went and removed my clothes and threw them in the laundry basket and went to take a cold shower. I spent 15 minute's in the shower and came outside and wrapped a towel on my waist and went inside the attached wardrobe and wore some black shorts and went to bed

Usually I would have checked my phone to see if I had any emergency message but I was too tired today so I just went to sleep
