Love at Gunpoint

Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5

She rushed to her house and slammed the door. She found Sasha reading a book and walked up to her.

"Slush!" she said on the verge of breaking down. She fell to her knees and covered her face.

Sasha grew extremely concerned seeing her. Her shabby hair, her uneven clothes, her worn eyes were creating all sorts of questions in her mind. She sat on the floor next to Naira and hugged her. "What happened?" she asked while stroking Naira's hair.

Naira couldn't do it anymore. She burst into tears. She told Sasha everything about how she accidentally got drunk, then Kartik came, he invited her, and they had sex. Her first time and she could barely remember it. Sasha couldn't do anything. She felt helpless and hatred towards Kartik who took away an important milestone in her best friend's life. Her heart ached the more she looked at Naira. Her first experience with boys, kiss, love, and everything was taken by one man in one night. However, she knew anger wouldn't help. She would have to make Naira understand.

"Look Naira, you don't need to feel disgusted with yourself. Don't cover your face because that's not going to change a single thing," she said harshly. "Look, I know I sound harsh but just listen to me carefully and comprehend it." Naira nodded her head in response. "IT'S OK! You had to lose it one day or another. Another thing, no one is going to judge you. There are so many people in the world who lost their v-card at a young age. Look, don't be ashamed. It's a common thing for girls and they end up losing it anyway. I understand you are going to feel disgusted, weird, embarrassed,  and all these different feelings. However, you are going to have to get over it." She said after completing her long speech.

Naira just stared at her.

"It's ok Naira!" she said. "Sometimes things happen. You wouldn't do anything like this when you were in your senses. And look! Look at the positive side. The first is that you won't be roaming around with a virginity card anymore! And the next one is that the guy was actually hot and sexy. You didn't get your virginity taken away by some dumbass." she said

Naira laughed at her comment.

"When I had lost my virginity in high school, I just laid there like a corpse," she said. "Let me tell you, it was not fun." she chuckled.

Naira smiled genuinely. "Wait for a second!" she exclaimed. "I have 2 questions to ask you."

"Go on. Ask them one by one." Sasha replied.

"First, how do you know the guy is hot?" she asked curiously.

"I saw you two at the bar." She replied. Naira's jaw dropped.

"If you saw me, then why didn't -" she started to ask.

"If you saw anyone the way you two were, nobody in the world would interfere with you guys. For the moment, I thought you both were in love with each other so I decided to leave it up to you guys," said Sasha. "Trust me, if I knew he was a womanizer, I wouldn't have done that."

"I trust you Slush, you shouldn't be sorry about that. It's not your fault." she sighed. She then began to smirk.

Sasha was confused with her sudden change of expression. "What?" she asked.

"Who was the guy you were making out with?" she asked grinning.

"I think it was Sid or something," she said slowly. "Wait no! It was Vivaan," blurted Sasha.

"How long has this been going on," she asked.

"I guess a month. I really like Viv and -"

"OOO...Viv...I see." Naira smirked.
