MELTING IN HIS ARMS |JJK|

CHAPTER : 1

Whilst sitting on a bar stool, gulping the tequila shots, I scan the night life of this club which is not quite far from my place. With that music, that beat, those strobing lights, I know I am alive, I am real and reality is awesome.

My friend Luna sitting beside me full drunk tapped on my shoulder, I looked at her, she was moving her lips as if she was trying to say something. But the music was so loud that it made me deaf. I leaned towards her face to listen her mumbles carefully.

"I AM SAYING LET'S DANCE" she screamed.

And the next moment I was on the dance floor crowded with people dancing like there's no tomorrow. I also started swaying my body on the beat while clutching the glass of beer in my right hand, a little drunk and grinning as I knew it. I took a sip of beer, totally immersed in the moment, eyes closed, loud music and a feeling of calm in my mind, dopamine rushing in my body. I never felt like this before. 

Suddenly, I felt the urge to pee.

"I'm going to restroom" I said to Luna.

She nodded while dancing and I rushed to the restroom, only to see a number of individuals waiting for their turn in a long queue outside the washroom. I also stood there while thinking about my life.

Should I call them? will they pick my call up? I thought.

 Without thinking any further I called but no one picked it up. I tried again. Only to hear

 tut tut.... indicating they declined my call this time. all the excitement and cheerfulness, that I felt a minute ago, vanished.

After using restroom, I went back inside the club.

Luna was sitting on a couch with some other guys, I didn't know them, maybe she made new friends here while I was gone. I went toward her and sat there silently as I was feeling low and gloomy. This not went unnoticed by Luna. She turned up to me-

 "hey! What happened?" she asked while placing her hand on my bare thigh, as I was wearing a short red satin dress that barely covered my thigh with opened wavy hair reaching till mid waist and a basic pair of hoop earrings falling from my ear lobes.

"they didn't pick my call up again" I sobbed

"don't worry y/n, they are your parents, they'll definitely understand you and talk to you again"

"but it's been a month now, Luna, they didn't talk to me since a month" I put emphasis on month.

"they will. Just give them time" she sighed. "and anyway, you'll be going back after 4 months right, so just focus on your work while you are here, everything will get alright when you go back" she patted my back and ended.

"I hope so" I gave her an assuring smile.

"yeah, forget it now, let's drink more" she said trying to cheer me up.

"nah! I'm not in a mood, I think I should go now"

"okay you go; I'll catch you later"

I bid her goodbye and head towards the exit. I was waiting for the cab, soon the cab arrived and I lazily sat in the back seat. To feel more relaxed, I shut my eyes, but, flashbacks started coming in front of my eyes

Flashback

I was feeling immense satisfaction, relief and happiness when my boss gave the project to our team, and not only that, he announced me the project leader. I was filled with countless emotions; my eyes were watery as they were filled with tears of joy. At last, my hard work paid off.
