I got up with a strong pain in my head. I opened my eyes and realised that it's not my room. I got and went outside. I tried to remember what happened last night but the last thing I could remember was that I changed my dance partner and got paired with Samaira.
What happened after that. Why can't I remember anything! How did I end up in this room? God! Why did I drink that much. Then suddenly, the scene of Samaira kissing that Dhairya flashed in my mind. I picked up a flower vase near me and threw it forcefully on the ground. I tried to remember but I couldn't.
I saw Priya sitting there with Samaira, Dhairya and Sameer. Samaira was laughing while looking at Dhairya. I fisted my palm and tried to control myself from bursting out. Then, Priya left from there. I went towards them. As soon as I went there, I saw Samaira started to walk away but I stopped her.
"Miss Khanna, I wanted to talk to you." Samaira was looking at Sameer as he said "Go, Samaira. Talk to him and also bring my power bank from my room."
She nodded. She was about to leave. Then Dhairya said "Dove, bring a chocolate for me also." She smiled and nodded looking at him.
We went to the room where I had slept. "Miss Khanna, I am sorry to disturb you. But would you tell me what happened last night. How did I end up sleeping here?"
Initially, she got shocked and hurt by my revelation. But then, she composed herself and said, " Mr. Shekhawat, you had drunk a lot last night. So, after the dance, I brought you here in the guest room and told Priya about it. We had also convinced her to stay here for a night. So, that's how, you ended up sleeping here last night. BTW, I had sent a drink to relieve your hangover. Have you had it?"
"What if you have spiked my drink?"
"Abir, How could you think like this about me?" She asked. Abir, that name provided a solace to my heart. She called me Abir after a long time.
"Sorry, I mean. Mr. Shekhawat."
"It's okay, you can call me Abir . But about your initial doubt. I would like to clarify that Miss. Khanna, our past hasn't been too good that I could rely on you anymore." I stated with my cold expressions.
"Past is Past Mr. Shekhawat— whether it's beautiful or painful!!" She said and I looked at her only to find maybe hurt in her eyes. Is she hurt? But how's it possible she only broke up with me.
I shrugged it off.
"Thanks, Miss. Khanna, for clarifying the incidents of the night. BTW, if anything apart from this happened, especially between us, then I would like to say that all of that was under the influence of alcohol." I said and saw a tear from her eyes which she wiped off immediately. I ignored it as I don't even want to be near her.
Then, she went towards the side table and drank a sip from the glass."Mr. Shekhawat, I think now you can trust the drink. There's nothing mixed in it and you only taught me how to make it. If you still doubt it, you can ask Dhairya. He also had the same drink." She said
Listening to Dhairya's name from her mouth, anger rushed to my mind. I controlled myself. Then, she left from there and I had the drink. It's quite delicious. Her cooking has improved a lot, I guess.
Then, I went downstairs where everyone ( Priya, Samaira, Dhairya, Neeyat, Sameer, Akshit, Samar and Meera) was present and sat beside Priya. Everyone decided to play truth or dare. I was about to say no, but that Dhairya took Samaira hand and walked into a room to play the game. I went behind them. Everyone settled on their seats. I sat between Samaira and Priya.
We then started the game. Sameer flipped the bottle. It landed on Samaira. She chose truth. "I will ask!" Dhairya said. She looked at him and shook her head in denial. He said "So dove, what's your biggest fantasy?"
She looked at him with 'are you serious look' and said, "I want to dance in the rain with my partner."
"That's just like you dove!" He said.
"Of course, babe! It's my fantasy, it would be like me only."
"Let's carry on with the game!" I said being frustrated.
Samaira flipped the bottle and it landed on me. "Truth!" I said looking at Samaira who was looking at me. Priya said, "I have wanted to ask this since a long time, how did you agree to play this game? As far as I know, you don't like such stuff."
"I was getting bored. That's why, I thought to play this. Besides, my head was hurting and I can't focus on my work right now." I said, actually lied.
Then, I flipped the bottle. It landed on Dhairya. Samaira and Neeyat shared a look, "So Dhairya, why did you agree to go to that business trip? Besides, I could have gone alone. Why did you go there?" Samaira asked and Neeyat and Sameer nodded.
"It's nothing, like that!"
"Spill the beans!" Samaira ordered. I was stunned at her boldness.
"Fine! I went there for you! Ok now and you know the reason well!"
Samaira giggled and said "Well! Very Well."
"Chimpanzee, we have a conversation to proceed after the game. So, better be ready!"
"Okay, dove!" He said. Jealousy was getting the best of me. But why am I jealous. Haven't I moved on?
Then he spilled the bottle, it landed on Sameer. "Dare!" He said. Priya said, "Such a daring move Sameer!"
"One word for everyone in our squad while imitating the person's acts" Neeyat said
" "Arey Chimpanzee! Jhooth bolne ka tarika thora casual hai." That's the social media obsessed person."
