Chapter 18

When the time was 10 O' clock, Shreya finally messaged Lakshya. She did not want to disturb his time with his friends, but it was quite late.

'When will you be back?'

On the other side, Lakshya waved his phone in Deepak's face.

"See? She messaged me!"

Deepak opened his eyes wide, yet what he saw on the screen did not ascertain to his brain that Lakshya was saying the truth. "Really?" He was as drunk as Lakshya was.

"Yeah! See, I will call her."

Lakshya's call was lifted on the first ring. "Lakshya, did you start?"

"See?" The drunk dork he was, was not yet done showing off in front of Deepak.

"Hello?" Shreya was confused. She felt he just slurred.

"Are you drunk?"

"Yeahhh!"

He was completely drunk, definitely. She sat straight up. "I'll come and get you back."

"You're coming? Here?"

"Yes. Wait for me." Shreya knew he was a lost cause.

Shreya booked herself a cab after trying to get the location with a lot of difficulty. If she was still under her father, she would not even dare to think of picking someone up from a bar at night, even if it was someone she personally owed to. But that was no longer the case, and she had an unusually strong belief that the world was a beautiful place.

She kept Lakshya entertained throughout the way so that he did not cut the call. She gathered Deepak was also there, probably in the same state.

When she got down, she could not help but feel tense. For one, she had never been to a bar full of men.

Shreya put the hood of her jacket up and she was no longer that anxious.

She whispered into the phone, careful not to get any attention on her, "Lakshya, raise your hand up."

He was quite obedient. She saw a hand in the air soon. "I raised my right hand!"

He had raised his left hand though.

Shreya quickly made her way and sat down as she put her phone down. Finally she could calm down a little.

Lakshya looked surprised when he saw Shreya. As if to check, he said hello into the already disconnected phone.

"Hello," Shreya replied. She understood his drunk pulse over the journey.

"Shreya, hi."

"Hi. Do you know where Deepak lives?"

"Auntie will kick his ass and not give him chocolate!" He laughed.

Shreya did not understand his words but what he meant is probably that Deepak could not go home so drunk.

"We will go home now." Shreya booked a cab and it arrived soon.

She requested a waiter to help Deepak and tried to pull Lakshya all by herself. She fumbled.

"You can't carry me. You stop and sit even before half a trek!" Lakshya steadied himself holding her arm.

Shreya guided them all to the cab and got them in. They got down at Lakshya and Shreya's home. Lakshya sobered up quite a bit.

He did not speak much and his head was aching. He slapped Deepak across the face twice. Then both guys supported each other to get inside.

"No room for you, bro. Guest room is Shreya's, her hair clips are there. So you be here." He dropped Deepak on the couch.
