Yadav's PoV
It's Saturday evening. I called up Chandru to accompany me. I just want to drink hard and forget that damn girl. I always like to be in control of my emotions. I don't like my feelings being all over the place. It's kinda haunting me. I feel like I'm losing my grip on myself. I cannot let a random girl make me feel lost.
Chandru is not available. Shit! What's fun about going alone to a pub. I called up Shiva.
"Dei! I'm going to Rakesh's pub. I will come pick you up in 30minutes."
"Dei Yadav. You know I'm not comfortable in places like pubs. You want beer? Let's go to a bar. Or come home. I have some in my home. We will settle in on my terrace and watch some movies."
"Pch, You are coming. I'm starting from my home. Be at your door-step."
I disconnected the call. He is impossible. He is still stuck in our college days. Though we studied different degrees, we still had contact. We used to try beer on his home terrace without his mom's knowledge. He doesn’t have a dad. He died in an accident.
I drove to his home and as I said, I reached his home in 30minutes. He was all ready and standing out. He got in and we flew to the pub. It was 7pm when we entered the pub. It was crowded as compared to the previous time I came here. The bouncers took us to a secluded cabin and treated us with utmost respect.
"This place is nice and cozy. It's more like a bar except for that loud music and the dance floor." Shiva said.
"Yeah, I like this place too. The dim light helps me to hide my identity."
"Haha, Yeah So, are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?" He asked me.
"Shiva!"
"Still holding up after 3 beers? Too bad, Yadav!"
"That's nothing da. I came here to get rid of those annoying thoughts. Don’t bring it up again."
"Ok ok!" He put his hands in the air.
"You are going to pick up a girl from this dance floor today. Just dance. Try it." I told
him.
"Huh, No way. You know I'm socially awkward. Why push me?"
"I'm going to dance tonight. You are going too. Just push your luck, Shiva!"
After five beers each, we stood and went out of our cabin to the dance floor. The high I got through the beers drained off just like that with the scene in front of me. That same burning rage took me over. I punched that man on his face hard and pulled her elbow and took her to our cabin. Shiva was standing there dumbstruck and came running behind me.
"Are you.." she cut me off!
"Hey, YOU AGAIN? Wait! um... Are you insane? What the hell are you doing here at this hour all alone? Do you think rescuing you is my only job? This is what you wanted to tell me right?" She spoke like she was drunk.
I lost my cool and slapped her hard across her face! She was shocked and started crying like a baby. I was shocked too. Did I just hit a girl whose name I don’t know? Who is just nobody to me? What the hell did I do? Why does it bother me to know that she is drunk?
"Awww! It hurts, idiot! I’m not alone here. I came with Kavi. She is busy dancing with her boyfriend. I was bored and I just asked for a fruit punch. I had five. But see, I feel like this place is under an earthquake! You look like my Yash! That man asked for a dance and I said no. But he was nagging me. You hit him and saved me like a hero. Why do you always come to save me Yash!? The mysterious man who saved me is you? Why do I feel my heart flutter at your touch? This slap too shows your concern for me! But it hurts very badly. Don’t you raise your hand on me ever again. I love you, Yash!" She stood on her tippy toes and kissed my cheek.
"I love your dimpled cheek!" She kissed me again!
