I finish the entire bottle of vodka; my throat is burning as I keep the bottle down.
"Shruti!" Razz is standing beside me.
I look around, Thank God people are too busy to notice me. Shruti holds my hand and makes me sit where I was sitting before.
"You look drunk Shruti." Aruna says.
"I am" I laugh.
"Shruti what's wrong?" Sam asks. He seems worried.
"I am wrong! You are wrong!" I say maintaining eye contact with Sam.
"And Miss Razina Maharjan, you're wrong too." I point my finger to her.
"Let's go to the room." Razz says.
"Nope, I want to stay here. Sameer, please bring me more drink." I tell Sam.
"Shruti, you've already drank a lot. Go down and sleep." He says.
"No, why would you think that I'll do everything you say?" I'm mad at them for making me feel that Nishan loves me.
At the same time, my phone rings. I look at it, it's Dr. Nishan video calling me. My eyes are filled with tears as I see his name. I cut the call and switch off my phone. Razz is looking at me.
"Shruti, what's wrong?" Razz is now worried.
"Ladies and gentleman!" Roshan stands up.
"I want to dedicate a song to my wife." He says, making everyone cheer and clap for him.
"Razz, focus!" I say, not looking at her.
Roshan sings "Pehli Nazar me by Atif Aslam." As he finishes singing, his wife kisses him, making everyone cheer for them even louder.
"Now, my man will sing." Kabir says passing guitar to Samar.
"I don't feel like." Samar says but Kabir forces him. Kabir seems drunk.
"Okay fine." Samar says taking guitar from Kabir's hand.
"I'll be singing Juni Vari Lai by Oasis Thapa" Samar says and starts singing.
"Aja paltaudai chu feri timro ra mero purano kahani ka panaa haruu...
Dastak didaicha hai timro maya le mero maya ko band darwajaa haru...
Bhulera gai gayo timi malai taini sachi rahanchu kina timro yaad haru laiii... Prasna chan dherai, utar timi mai tungincha hai mayaluuuuu!!!
Timro naama pukarera yo geet kori raheko chu hai!...."
Samar is singing, making tears fall down from my eyes. I am heartbroken once again. I love Dr. Nishan... I love him way too much that I'm hurt. I don't know whom to blame. Dr. Nishan for making me fall in love with him or myself for falling for him?
All of sudden, Samar stops singing and I hear Kabir's voice.
"Yaar! It's such a fun environment and you're singing breakup song. It's been years since that woman left you. You cannot always be stuck on her. She must be happy with another man and you're here singing sad songs, remembering her. Move on man! Girls will come and go. Don't behave like a weak man!" Kabir is shouting at Samar, getting on my nerves.
I can't control myself. I can't let him say such things to Samar. I stand up and walk towards Kabir. All eyes on me and slap Kabir real hard. Everyone stands up from their seats but no one says anything. I can see Rachana's shocked face but that's the last thing I care about.
"What the hell Shruti?" Kabir angrily says.
"Shut the fuck up! You've no right to say such things to Samar." I point my finger at his face.
