'Are you feeling okay now?' Day asked.
Tay was rubbing my back after he followed me here and helped me wash my face. P Thada and Day were waiting by the door.
I nodded without looking at anyone.
'Have some water first.' When I returned to the room Day poured me a glass.
'Thanks.' I took the glass and drank the water quickly.
'Are you hungry? Let me order something...'
'We are leaving. Thada, look for his phone and wallet.'
'Let him rest first. I am sure he is having a headache.'
'Newiee?' P Thada looked at me with concern.
'I....yes, I am having a headache ...but it's manageable.' I said with a forced smile.
'How's that possible? You drank 2 whole bottles of wine last night......no no 2 and a half....'
Will you please shut up! Why are you throwing fuel to the fire! I gritted my teeth and answered,
'I am fine.'
Tay was listening silently this whole time. After I finished speaking he turned around and looked straight at Day.
'Arrange a separate room for us. He will take rest there.'
'He don't need a separate room. He is welcome to stay here.'
'Thada....talk to him. I don't want to talk to him.'
'Um...Day right? Listen.... please understand. Arrange a separate room and let Newiee rest there. He is not looking well.'
Day looked at me and I nodded.
'Fine.' He grudgingly picked up the phone and dialled the front desk.
Within 10 minutes Tay, P Thada and me entered a new room far away from our previous one. Day reluctantly said goodbye and asked me to call him later.
'Newiee, if you're feeling unwell then we can call a doctor.'
'I am fine P. Just a headache.'
'Thada, go downstairs and buy some pain relief meds. I want to talk to him alone.'
P Thada looked at me and patted my back with a slight smile on his face.
'Don't fight. Just talk. I will be back in a bit.' He warned Tay and left the room.
Now we are standing in the middle of the room facing each other.
'Aunty....let you come?'
'What do you think?'
'I.....you sneaked out?'
'Was there any other option? Thada knocked on my door at 4 am saying my boyfriend is with someone else who is calling him darling.....he even wants to sleep with him.'
'It wasn't like that....I was....just...' My face was getting hotter.
'Drunk. I know. But my question is why? Did you forget what happened last time when you drank excessively? I almost lost you. When Thada said that you might be drunk my heart almost stopped beating. Because I didn't know what will happen next!'
'I... sorry.' I know I was in the wrong so I need to apologise.
'I don't need your apology. I need to know why. There must be a reason why you are behaving like this. I know you very well. You don't like to do things unnecessaryly. I know you weren't here to really sleep with him. I trust you that much.'
