YOU BELONG TO ME

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE : THE ASSASSINATION.

In a sumptuously decorated hall , where different media personnels and paparazzi were invited together with close family and friends excluding the elders , Ashmaan and roohina plodded into the dimly lighted hall hand-in-hand , immediately they stepped in , confettis were showered on them as they walked straightly to the sit at the centre that was reserved for them.

After almost thirty minutes of exchanging pleasantries and gift giving , they all settled for lunch , which took them an hour and half.
Roohina couldn't eat much , she was too engaged in thinking about what ashmaan would do to her , whether he will assassinate her or not.

Shortly after they finished lunch , the media personnels and paparazzi were given a chance to ask their questions.

They asked multiple questions, some were answered by either Ashmaan or roohina while some were ignored by Ashmaan.

After the QandA , Roohina stood up from her seat and signaled for jasmine to follow her. They walked to a secluded corner at the hall , before roohina started talking.

" You were right , h..he gave me the necklace immediately after I went back ho..me "roohina stuttered while showing jasmine the necklace.

" I told you so , now you just have to wait until he kills you because we can't do anything about it."

" I..can do something about it , if he tries to kill me , I will....kill his snake" roohina suggested.

" that will infuriate him more , all you have to do is to protect yourself , if he tries to kill you , you can protect yourself by killing him and nobody will incarcate you because it will be under section 246 of the 1982 Republican constitution "

" how do you know all this ? And what is section 246 Implying? "

" I am a barrister, so I will know all this of course, section 246 talks about self-defence , and if you kill him because of self-defense, nobody will apprehend you."

" thank God. That's what I'll do for now. I'll also threaten to kill him , tit for tat," roohina said while relaxing for a moment.

" ok , but be careful " Jasmine warned.

" I will be " roohina assured her as she took a cup of cocktail from a waiter that was passing by .

The cocktail tasted awful at first, making roohina wanting to spew it on the floor but the moment she took the next sip it tasted better , making her wanting more. She hastly finished the cup and went to the bar to grab another cup , she went to the bar but they was no attendee there , only a few cups of the same cocktail kept on a serving tray . She sat on the bar chair and started drinking the cocktails one after the other until she had like five cups . There were only three cups remaining , she was about to pick her sixth cup when Ashmaan suddenly appeared in front of her.

" there you are , I have been looking for you ? " He asked , wondering why she left.

" want some ? Its so tasty , once you have a sip , you cannot resist it " she said with a slurred voice which was unlike her.

" what ? Why are drinking this ? Wait....... are perhaps you drunk ? " he asked , while snatching the cup from her hold . From a mere look at the cocktail, he knew it was alcoholic, so he kept the cup farther away from her but the second he turned back to her , she was drinking more of the cocktail from another cup on the tray .

" stop drinking this Roohina , you will become over-intoxicated and you will regret it tommorow morning " he warned while helping her stand up.

" I am not inxoc..inxoc..ticated , I am just a little bit drunk." She said while smiling broadly , her jaw hanging slightly slack.
