Mayra

I was relieved for the fact that Moksha found me when I most needed her. She takes me with her to a nearby counter.

"One hard tequila and what for you Mayra?" she turns to question me and I humble her with a nod "No muku. I don't have a tolerance" neither good past experiences. Who are you fooling. your angel from the above?

I'm grateful she doesn't pushes much when the bartender offers her asked drink. When she drastically takes the shot of her tequila I make a quick sweep of the crowd. Aaksha and Reet have joined the dance floor with Adi swaying in the middle. A smile almost immediately pulls on me whenever I see him.

He's really such a charmer and a clown at the same time. When we entered the club earlier both Sherlyn and Navya had seperated themselves from our group.

"I swear to god muku if you take more than your tolerance. I'll throw you off on my shoulder and get you back at the resort" I flinch looking back to find Sharan taking his seat next to Moksha. He appeared somewhat pissed tho.

"Don't worry Bhai. Thoda sa to Banta hai" (Don't worry brother. A little is not bad) she makes a sound of whoo and then takes two shots from the barmaid and passes one to Sharan. 

"If this is your thoda sa I'm afraid of your zyada sa" (if this is your little bit then I'm afraid of your bigger ones) but then he cheers with her and chugs all of it in one go with a straight face. Wow.

Rudransh follows him and settles on a revolving stool beside me "Hey" my lips thinned with a pressing smile "Hello" he points his thumb back to the bartender "You're not drinking?" for a moment I hesitated telling him about my tolerances "I don't drink much".

"One shot won't hurt" his brows lift with consideration "then take it" it almost ran out of my mouth before even thinking but he doesn't seems offended "I mean you can have it I don't want to" I bite the corner of my lips and twirl on my stool to have a proper view of the dance floor.

"You look beautiful today" when I face him he angles his head to have a better look at me. I don't know why but I felt a knot forming in my chest. A sudden and strange feeling overwhelms and for god's sake I can't stop the sweating on my palms.

"T-thanks" I twirl back again to a dancing Moksha.. when did she hopped on the floor. Afte a moment of eye fully watching them I looked around but couldn't spot Aarav in this vast crowd. For the record I wasn't looking for him just looking after him as instructed by his dad.

As if he could hear my thoughts he appears through a crowd with Reyan by his side. I'm surprised there's no Sherlyn hanging by his arms.

He makes his way straight to us "One whiskey. Neat" he orders with low but hoarse voice that I can't help but play on repeat in my head. Wait is something broken up there Mayra, you're not suppose to idealise him. 

Is he really hearing my thoughts because why is he smirking at me?? What type of black magic is this.

"You didn't order?" my brows lowered but I keep my gaze away from him and when I opened up to reply he cuts me off "One mocktail please" he speaks to the barmaid.

"Don't you have any girls to shag tonight Aarav?" the comment comes from beside me and all the heads except Aarav snaps to Rudransh.

"You too?" he looks Reyan up and down as if he doesn't even deserves his attention. I noticed Reyan was about to throw something back but Aarav interjected at the right moment.

"You shouldn't worry yourself with that. Go check up on your mama baby or she'll die of lack of attention syndrome" my eyes almost bulged out at Aarav's words considering all of his famiy's relation with Rudransh's mother.

"What the fuck did you say" in a second Rudransh reaches for his collar and gives him a push but it doesn't affect Aarav least bit. Instead his eyes grow darker and I'm afraid if he reached that limit and gave in to his violent tendencies. Not only will Rudransh regret his actions but won't be able to survive either. And then there will be Abeer uncle.

"Fact, obviously" he mocks Rudransh as if daring him to make the first move so he could use it as an excuse to slip away into a fight.

Rudransh grinds his teeth and brings his first up and in a flash of momemt slams it into Aarav's face. "Fucking dick. Son of nothing" if his actions didn't summon the crowds attention Rudransh's words certainly did their work.

Adi and Moksha leaves the dance floor to rush towards us but it was too late because Aarav reels back with his elbow straightaway planted into Rudransh's nose.

I hastily drew my body awkwardly sandwiching between them. "Aarav. Don't" I face him completely and his eyes flicks to mine almost immediately. When he heard his name he seems to ease a bit and I take that as a winning moment before I use my luck and push him away.

"Are you on his side?" he appeared to have completely forgotten the heat of the moment or anyone around us. His attention zeroed in on me. I shake my head not leaving his arms attempting to drop the tension.

"Tell. Me" he demands and I willed my body to not jerk or react to his tone. "Calm down" I don't know what occurred but his muscles seemed to relax on my hold.

"Yeah fucking calm down bull head. Before I tell all this to Abeer uncle" a taunt comes out from behind me and I can sense Aarav's annoyance evaporating from him. I tightened my grip on his arms when he makes his way towards Rudransh again "I'm on your side Aarav. Please don't do this".

I'm not suppose to favor my enemy. Let alone my worst enemy.

My petite frame couldn't stop him physically but somehow my words did.

He stopped. And looked down at me with such softness I never knew Aarav could hold in those cold brown eyes.

"This is not worth it" he physically jerks away from me while glaring his cousin behind me. "Watch that mouth before you run it" with that he exits the club.

I sighed and thanked all the gods watching over me that even though I witnessed one of the moments of his extreme aggressiveness I wasn't the subject of it.

I turned around to a shocked Reyan and I blinked before he raises his brows at me "Girl. you just did one of the most impossible thing in the world" I jerked back when Rudransh whooshes past us with clutched nose and anger seeping from him.

"What thing?" he clicks his tongue before Moksha and Adi follows us and settles in a stool next to us.

"Handling Aarav in his violence mode. You're first" I gasped at the words Adi just said and they all nodded. "I knew you'll be my fav Mayra" Moksha all but yells at the top of her lungs.

"Congratulations Mayra you just tamed a beast" Adi whispers the words into my ears and throws his head back to drink in his glass of vodka.

//It finally seems they're getting one another slowly and steadily😭😭.I'd love your reviews about their growing tension//
