The guest house was connected with a narrow lane from the backyard. Only I knew how I carried the heavy wet saree while walking towards the guesthouse. Luckily it was empty. I put on the lights and the first thing I saw was my reflection on the large dressing mirror. Mahen had tied a very thin gold waist chain. 

There were three black tiny round pendants attached to it. It was really thin which I can wear every day. I smiled. Shaking my head as it was already too late I went straight towards the bathroom.

I turned the knob but it didn't open. I frowned, it didn't seem anyone was inside. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I knocked but I couldn't hear any sound. I sighed now I have to ask the security to get the keys if it was locked.

I turned to leave but suddenly the door opened and I was pulled inside. On reflex a shout left my mouth, which was immediately silenced. "Why the hell are you shouting?" Mahen lightly covered my mouth with his hand and laughed.

I pulled his hands off me pushing him lightly, "Because you scared me!"

"Really?" He pinned me to the door and locked it.

"What is this smell?" I sniffed.

"Nothing!" Mahen was suddenly on alert.

However, I understood what he was hiding. The bottles of alcohol were lying on the unused sink in the ice -box. "You guys are hiding alcohol inside the guesthouse bathroom! This is disgusting!"

"So where else? The old folks would catch us any moment out there!"

"Mahen, seriously, shame on you guys, you all are planning to get drunk on the day of your best friend's wedding! Save it for the reception and wasn't the bachelorette night enough!?"

"Can you please lower your voice? We are trying to hide it. Besides we won't be getting drunk, it will just help us digest the fact that the first one in our group is about to bite the dust!"

"Mahen you –"

"Ssshhh," he pulled me towards him and kissed me hard. This is exactly what I hate. As he starts kissing me I simply become dizzy. 

The saree fell from my shoulders as he pulled me closer. My nipples tightened pressing against his chest. I remembered I was not wearing a bra as the thick material of the saree had done good work shielding my tight blouse.

I felt his hands on my back as he slowly opened the blouse hooks. Had it been some other day I might have appreciated his rushed attitude but there was too much in my mind at the moment. Although a quick make-out session won't harm anything, I tried to assure myself.

However, as he was about to deepen the kiss we heard the guesthouse door opening. I quickly pulled away hearing Chitra's voice.

"Deepa, are you there?" she knocked.

Mahen gestured me to remain quiet but I knew Chitra, if she thought the bathroom was empty she might go around the entire space to find me. I pushed Mahen behind the doors and half-opened it to speak to Chitra as all the hooks of my blouse at the back was hanging open. "Do you know where is Sanjana? I have been after her to take my picture in this attire."

"No, I haven't seen her yet." I felt a sudden chill as something cold ran down my back. I am sure it's the cold old monk kept beside the sink. I couldn't even gasp rather pressed my lips harder to prevent any sound from escaping.

Then immediately I felt Mahen's hot tongue licking the liquid off my back. I was about to choke. That moment I wanted two things, one to slap Mahen hard across the face for putting me in that situation and second to send off Chitra as soon as possible.
