Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 25

Miheeka's Pov:

"Thanks," I say to Anushka when she fixes the straps on the back of my dress.

"You look so hot, Rana won't let you leave," Anusha teases me. I feel myself start to blush but I just shake my head. I look at myself in the mirror one last time before grabbing my white purse and walking out of the room with Anushka. I grab a jacket on the way out as well in case it gets cold at night. I am wearing a short red dress with cutouts on the stomach and square straps. My hair is still in its waves and falling over my shoulders. I have heels on to match Anushka's height. Anushka is wearing a silk blue dress which has a low V-neck and thin straps, I convinced her to do that, so your welcome Anushka. It has a slit on one side showing off her leg, and she still has her hair in curls. She just messed them up a little. She has on a pair of glittery silver heels which add a few inches to her already tall figure. We walk down the stairs together and I hear Shriya squeal when she sees us.

"You two look amazing," she walks over to us and pulls us into hugs.

"Thank you," I hear Anushka reply from next to me. I look behind Shriya and see Rana standing there. I see his eyes look at me from top to bottom and I feel my heart start beating fast.

I hear Anushka cough beside me, "Ready to go," she turns to ask me. She looks so flushed all of a sudden and I look behind her and roll my eyes when I see the reason why. I give her a teasing smile before giggling at her.

"Stop it, let's just go."

Anushka's Pov:

Miheeka teasing me is not helping my already frazzled state. I can't get him out of my head. His smile, his eyes the way he looked at me as I walked down the stairs. The way he slowly rolls up his sleeves and tightens his jaw and clenches his fist when he gets frustrated.

"Hey Molly," I hear Miheeka say from next to me. I break away from my thoughts about him and greet the rest of our friends. Miheeka introduces me to a few of her friends. Molly is her brother's girlfriend, Sreetha who is her childhood best friend, and Aakanksha who works with her.

I introduce Richa, one of my friends from childhood; Pooja, one of my family friends; and Sara, my friend from school.

"Let's get going everybody," Shriya yells out to everybody. All the girls pile into the car. Right, when we are about to leave Prabhas knocks on the window with Rana watching him.

"Shriya," he says, trying to get her attention. She turns around from where she was talking to Aakanksha.

"What," she says slightly annoyed. He gives her a look and says, "Be careful. Don't get too drunk. Call me if you need anything. I will pick you up in a few hours" He looks at me and says, "Anushka take care of her please." I nod my head not being able to get any words out. I watch him walk back into the house with Rana. I think about how good of an older brother he is, so protective and caring, and how good of a dad he would be. But before I could get too into it we arrived at the pub.

Shriya's Pov:

We all sit down together at the bar and start giving our orders for drinks. I move my head along with the music and I see some of the other girls already getting up and dancing.

"Thanks," I nod at the bartender. I take a sip of my drink and smile. Anushka looks at me and giggles as she takes little sips of her drink. I down my drink in a few sips when Miheeka comes over to Anushka and me and drags us onto the dance floor.

"Oh my god," I yell out when I hear the song that starts playing.

"I love this song," Miheeka yells out. I nod with her and we grab our hands and start swaying with the music.
