Rana's Pov:

I turn the key in the lock and open the door slowly, while wheeling my suitcase behind me.

"What in the world?" I scrunch my nose at the revolting smell that hits me as soon as I walk in. I look around and I see bottles scattered around the room and Prabhas with his head on the table and his body slumped over the chair.

"Shit," I drop my stuff down and carefully lift his head off the table and lay him down on the bed. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge and splash a little in his face to wake him up.

"Prabhas," I shake him a little which jolts him awake. I move away from him, so he has a little bit of space and time to get back to his senses.

"Did I get drunk," He groans while holding his head and turning to me. I nod and turn towards the collection of empty bottles around the room.

"Sorry I'll clean it up." He gets up and walks around, collecting the bottles and putting them in a corner as I move my stuff to the bed by the window.

"You could've helped you know," He comments at me. I look up from the laptop which I have in my lap and raise my eyebrow.

"I didn't drink, so I won't clean up. And besides I have my own problems to deal with." I roll my eyes at him and go back to working.

"Why what happened to you," He asks before moving his mouth over a bottle of water and chugging half of it down.

I sigh and shut my laptop and shift my body so I face him. I summarize what happened between Miheeka and I before I got here.

"Woah um, that's a lot. Sorry Rana," He gives me an empathetic smile while sitting on the bed, his phone in his hands and his head against the backboard of the bed.

"Anushka..." He mumbles with his head down towards his phone.

"What," I ask at his annoyance towards her.

"Nothing, I just missed her call but I'm not in the mood to call back and tell her what happened."

"Are you going to tell her about this," I ask, referring to the empty bottles in the corner of the room and his half hungover state.

"No," He replies a little too quickly to which I give a disapproving look.

"It's gonna make her worry more and I didn't even tell her about the meeting so she's gonna think I got drunk for no reason and that's gonna make her mad," He explains which makes me a little less disapproving because I would probably do the same. We sit in silence for a few minutes before I ask Prabhas about the meeting. He retells everything with detail and elaboration and we sit down to try and plan what we have to do for the next few days. We are going to have to try and make up for this disaster.


Prabhas's Pov:

I take a big chug of the beer in my hand before putting it down. I preponed my plane because the meeting ended early so I have not even begun to pack my things. Rana is sitting on his bed at the other side of the room zipping up his packed suitcase.

I sigh out loud dramatically and he looks up at me, "What Prabhas?"

I put on my best puppy dog eyes for him, "Can you help me pack?"

He sighs and walks over to me. We both silently get to work packing all of my clothes. After a few minutes, I finish packing my stuff with his help.

"Ready to go?" I ask and he nods. We both have not been talking to each other much because of both of our states. Rana with his fight with Miheeka and my own problems. So I know he is not mad at me. Now me and Rana both have to come straight home and have our employees get off their vacation breaks to help us. I grab my beer and finish the whole thing in one big gulp. We both grab our suitcases and check out of the room. The airport is right next to the hotel so it does not take us much time to get there.
