"Yes sir!" Jordan  spoke from somewhere.
Jahaan  looked around but could not find him.

"Hey, where are you?" Jahaan  asked again.

Just then, he saw a hand rising from the back of the bar table. "Here I am, Jahaan " he replied with a chuckle.

On seeing his hand, Jahaan  walked up to the bar table and found Jordan  stuck between two chairs. Helping him get out of them, Jahaan  asked, "How did you land yourself in such a weird place?"

"I have no idea. As far as I remember, I was lying on this table" he replied while holding his head .

Jahaan helped him to get to the couch where Illahi  was sitting. He made him sit next to
her. Both of them were sitting there holding their heads.

"Uh! Why is my head hurting so much?" Illahi  complained while holding his head in her hands.
"Do you guys have any idea how much you drank last night?" Jahaan declared sarcastically.

"Man... you know very well that I don't even touch booze. It was just that Illahi  challenged me and things got out of hand" Jordan  explained.

"Excuse me, why are you blaming me? I never forced you to drink. It was you who wanted to satisfy your ego by defeating me" illahi  replied in
anger.
"Alright! Alright! Now don't start fighting here. Let's go to our rooms and you guys, freshen up before Mom finds you in this condition" Jahaan
instructed.

The three of them got up and walked towards the elevator. Suddenly, illahi  remembered
something and asked, "By the way, where is Tanya ? She just disappeared last night." Just the mention of her name was enough to turn Jahaan's face red as he reminisced all that happened last night.

"Umm... she is asleep in the room," he said while looking away.

"Hey, hold on, I have the keys to our room.
So, in which room is she sleeping?" Illahi  asked again.

"Yeah, last night, when I brought her to our floor, I found your room locked and she didn't have the keys. So l made her sleep in our room," Jahaan  informed them.

"Oh, okay. You did the right thing. She drank so much for the first time anyway," illahi  replied.

Just then, Jordan  asked, "If Tanya  slept in our room last night, where did  you  Sleep ?"

"This guy is dealing with a bad hangover yet he has so many questions to ask," Jahaan  thought to himself .

"I... I slept on the couch in the same
room. It was already very late at night" Jahaan  answered hesitantly.

After getting  on the floor, they headed to their respective rooms. "Is Tanya  still asleep?

I should go and wake her up" illahi  said while walking up to the guys' room.

Jahaan was feeling very nervous and he was
scared that what if Tanya  remembered all that happened last night? How would he face her?
"You go and wake her up. I will order coffee for you all. It will help you with the hangover and your headache will also get better" Jahaan replied.

"That's so nice of you, Jahaan " illahi  thanked him. Jordan  and illahi  headed to the room then Illahi  got near Tanya  and woke her up, "Get up, Tanya . It's morning. Let's go to our room".

Without opening her eyes, Tanya  replied with a
"hmm" and turned around in her sleep.

"Please, get up or jahaan's mom will find you here," illahi  called out while dragging  Tanya  by her arms.

Hearing illahi , Tanya  sat up and started rubbing her eyes. She opened them slowly and looked around. She tried to get back to her senses.

"How did I ... How did I land up here? This is not our room, right?" She asked while looking around. Jahaan  was standing outside the door and eavesdropping. He just wanted to make sure
Tanya  did not remember anything.

"I guess, she really doesn't remember anything," he thought to himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he walked up to the reception to order coffee for the three of them.
On reaching the lobby, Jahaan  bumped into Reeva  and Anika.

"Good Morning, Jahaan ," Reeva  greeted.
"Good morning, Reeva ,''Asher replied.

Reeva stood right in front of him and asserted.
"I hope you enjoyed a lot last night"

"Of course, it was a good night," Jahaan  replied rather awkwardly.
On hearing this, Reeva  got furious at him and responded, " Jahaan , I really never thought you are going to turn out to be this way", after saying this, she walked away in anger .

"What's wrong with her?" Jahaan  thought to himself in the utmost confusion. He finally
went to the reception and ordered lemonade.
Just then, when he was about to get into the elevator, Mrs. Mehta  walked up to him and spoke, "Hmm... seems like everyone is hungover after last night. That explains why you have ordered coffee"

"No mom, it's not like that. It's just that everyone has a mild headache. We all are tired, so...did you have your breakfast?" Jahaan  tried to change the topic of discussion.

"Yeah, I just ate" she replied while looking at his shoulder.
" Jahaan , how did you get this bruise? Is it something that I am thinking it to be?'' Mrs. Mehta  found a mark on his shoulder and asked.

Jahaan  was unaware of any scars or bruises, so after hearing his mom he looked  at his shoulder and found a hickey there. Just then, he got reminded of how Tanya  bit him on his shoulder last night.

"No mom, how will I get a hickey? You are too much sometimes. I just hurt myself from the washroom's door last night. Don't worry, it's alright '' Jahaan  made an excuse while hiding the mark away.
Just by hearing his voice, one could say he was nervous and reluctant. "Alright mom, I will just go and check up on Jordan . He is way too hungover," Jahaan  informed and without waiting for a reply, Jahaan  briskly walked away  .
