"MESSED NIGHT"

Next day.

Before meeting Veronica.
Mallika fits body cam on Sumedh's body.

Mallika:
Rules yaad hai?
Sumedh:
Haa Mallika yaad hai!

They decided to meet in a cafe. Sumedh leaves for cafe. Veronica calls him.

Veronica:
The cafe owner is tooo clingy! Come at Street12
Sumedh:
But, Thats a bar..
Veronica:
You don't drink?
Sumedh:
I do..
Veronica:
Come then.

She cuts the call. Sumedh calls Mallika and tells her the change in plan.
Mallika grows anxious.

At the bar.

Sumedh:
Ite 7pm! You want to drink from now?
Veronica:
Yessssss!

In very little time, Veronica drinks too much. Sumedh is drinking just one drink last 1 hour.

Sumedh:
Is everything all right Veronica? You look tensed..
Veronica:
IS THIS OUR SEXUAL TENSION?

That came as a bouncer to Sumedh and Mallika. Mallika got alerted.

Veronica held his hand took him to the dance floor.

Sumedh:
Veronica, I don't wanna--
Veronica:
Shusshh.

She keeps a finger in his lips. Holds his hands makes it slide in her waist. Locked her hands behind his neck.
Mallika became tensed and uncomfortable. Her laptop screen's clarity was making it too difficult for her to let these moments go.

Veronica:
I want to get more drunk.
Sumedh:
You can't even walk properly Veronica, I'll drop you home.

Mallika:
Good! Just fucking drop her home!

She yelled as if he could hear her.

Veronica and Sumedh left the bar but she told him wrong directions and they came near a hill.

Sumedh:
U messed up the directions.
Veronica:
I know! This is my favorite spot! Come on!

Veronica gets out of the car and taking rounds looking up at the sky. Sumedh is still in car.

Sumedh:
Mallika, agar tum sun rahi ho....Shayad isse aage range nahi aayegi. Tension matt lo, Main sambhal lunga.

His words don't help Mallika in any way.
Sumedh gets out of the car.
He holds Veronica's hands just when she is about to fall. She brings her lips near his, Sumedh calmly avoids her.

Sumedh:
You aren't well, Get in the car.
Veronica:
Don't be a bore.

She holds his hand and takes him at a point from where they can see the city. It was a beautiful view but Sumedh was too tensed to appreciate it.

Veronica:
Sometimes, I just want to jump off from here.
Sumedh:
What? Why?
Veronica:
I feel caged. They want me over. I hate it. Why did I greed money!? I fucked my own life.
Sumedh:
What did you do?
Veronica:
Killed some people.

She didn't even realize what she said. She was too drunk to realize anything.
She turned to Sumedh, Cupped his face.

Veronica:
KISS ME.
Sumedh:
Veronica, You are dru---

Veronica smashes her lips on his passionately. Her fingers travel his hair. Sumedh grips her shoulder and parts from her.

Mallika's face flashes in front of his eyes. He holds Veronica's hand and makes her sits in the car where she falls asleep.
He drives her to his home. He calls Mallika on the way.

Sumedh:
Hello.
Mallika:
Hello! Sumedh! Kaha ho tum?
Sumedh:
Aa raha hu. Woh saath hai mere....Ghar mein jo bhi chupane jaisa hai woh chupa do.

His is drier than ever. He cuts the call without waiting for her answer.
They get home. He picks Veronica in his arms. Mallika was already waiting for him on the door. Silent eye contact happens between them which makes Mallika suspicious. He tucks her in his bed. Mallika was just observing his actions. He walks out of the room, Mallika follows him into the hall.

Mallika:
Su--
Sumedh:
Mallika, Can you please get me tea?
Mallika:
Sure.

Sumedh rests his hip on the kitchen counter and watches Mallika make tea. His eye have guilt. Mallika noticed his strange behavior but didn't say anything. The scene of Veronica's kiss kept coming to his mind.
They sat on the sofa drinking tea.

Mallika:
Are you okay?
Sumedh:
No. No I am not.
Mallika:
Why?
Sumedh:
I can't really tell you that.
Mallika:
What do you want me to do?
Sumedh:

Mallika:
Okay. We both together will find proofs.
Sumedh:
We need to arrest her before I find soft corner for her.
Mallika:

Sumedh:

Mallika:
