Liar Liar

"Raavi bohot ho gaya. Ab bas kar." Kirti put down the vodka glass which Raavi had picked up.

Raavi was already quite intoxicated. She was trying to keep up with Rishita and Kaveri. But high heels and alcohol didn't really go together. She kept losing her balance, but luckily Kirti was always by her side, holding her so she wouldn't fall. Finally, she managed to get Raavi seated in one of the booths.

"Tu aur nahi piyegi Raavi." Kirti said.

"Okayyyyy Kirti babyyyy." Raavi giggled.

"Raavi tum thik ho na?" Dev suddenly came and sat in front of her.

"Main bilkul thik hu Dev. Main toh perfect hu." Raavi said with a slight slur.

Rishita was slightly annoyed to see Dev with Raavi. She still hadn't said yes to Dev, but she liked him, and he knew that. So he shouldn't be focused on Raavi especially on her birthday. Raavi had a crush on Dev and it made her really mad. Who invited her to the party? She joined them in the booth and sat beside Dev.

"Are you okay Raavi?" She asked.

"I'm fine Rish. Tumhari party bohot amazing hai."

Kaveri brought a tray of drinks for the gang, and she was joined by Rimi and Aman. Kirti wanted to leave with Raavi. It was getting late and Raavi was too drunk to go home. Who knew how her Maasi would react?

"Raavi main tujhe iss haal mein ghar kaise le jaungi? Tu bohot drunk hai. Aur teri Maasi shayad mera murder karegi." Kaveri whispered in her ear.

Raavi nodded. She could feel how drunk she was. There was no way Kaveri could drop her home. She excused herself and went to the washroom. She took out her phone and dialled the first number that came to her head. He picked up on the first ring.

"Raat ko kyu paka rahi hai?" Shiva asked.

"Shivaaaaaaa, hi." Raavi giggled.

"Tu thik hai na?" Shiva asked.

"Mujhe ghar drop kar de." Raavi said.

"Kyu? Dev waha nahi hain?"

"Shiva main bohot drunk hu. Dev se nahi hoga. Tu jaldi aa. Maasi ko sambhalne ki duty teri." Raavi cut the call, and went to back to the table.

"Shiva aa raha hai. Tu tension mat le." She whispered to Kirti.

"We're going to play a round of 'never have I ever!" Kaveri shouted.

"I love that game." Rimi said, and explained the rules to everyone.

"Okay I'll go first. Never have I ever puked after drinking." Kaveri laughed.

Dev, Rishita, Aman and Rimi took a shot. Raavi was drinking for the first time and she hadn't puked. So she was safe.

"Never have I ever cheated in any exam." Rimi said.

Raavi, Rishita, Aman and Kaveri took shots.

"Raavi I think tumhe aur nahi peeni chahiye. Tum kaafi drunk ho." Dev said.

"Main thik hu Dev." Raavi said.

Rishita was getting annoyed by Dev's concern for her. "Dev woh adult hain. Bachhi nahi. I'm sure she understands her tolerance level."

Raavi stood up and gave Rishita a hug. "Yeh aisa hi hai. Bas yeh nahi, iski puri family. Especially Shiva. Woh toh humesha mujhe order deta rehta hai."

It was Raavi's turn. "Never have I ever bunked school."

Everyone took a shot except Dev and Rimi.
