Night Out
Chapter- 3 (Radhika's POV)
Radhika smiled widely zipping up the small luggage. She was giddy with excitement. Having tricked her father into signing the memo form for the art programme was an easy task than she thought. She sneaked right into the library when he seemed too busy signing documents. Putting down his evening tea she passively yet determinedly lied through her teeth about cooking classes. Her annoyed father seemed impressed and signed the form readily without even looking at it. She dreaded them all the time but he never looked down. She fleed from there immediately taking the papers into her shaky hand and clutching it to the rapid beating of her heart.
She bolted the door of her bedroom and stared at the signature of approval.
She dialled Sam's, her best friend's number happily. The call was lifted just two rings later. Loud music blasted as Radhika grimaced and pulled away the cell phone from her bruised eardrum.
"Hey, babe. What's up?" Sam's voice sounded drunk and too loud.
"Where the hell are you?" Radhika asked, annoyed.
"It's Saturday night, Ms Goody two shoes. Where do you think will I be?" She snorted, sarcasm dripping heavily from her tone.
Radhika shook her head and smiled.
"Alright, fine. I just called you to tell you that we...Are going to New York." She shouted the last four words gleefully.
There was a second of silence, and Radhika wondered if the call got cut.
"Whoa! Hold on, either I'm too drunk or you're stoned because you just said we're going to New York? Does that mean you got the form signed by your dad?" Sam's voice sounded sober now.
"Yep. Guess, how I managed it?" Radhika asked grinning.
"You just kicked my high four levels down, babe. I don't think I can react or answer that question right away. Give me some time to recover from the shock..jeez." Sam muttered over the phone.
Radhika slid down on the bed.
"Hey, it wasn't so difficult. I told him that I wanted to take a course in some cooking classes. God, I'm never going to take such risks again." She gulped hard and shivered in fear.
"You better not, but hey you got what you wanted. In just about three weeks we're flying towards freedom. Woohoo!" Sam shouted excitedly over the phone.
Radhika laughed and cheered along.
"And, hey this calls for a party. You're coming to the 'Serenity Club' right away." Sam's voice carried a decision.
Radhika snorted.
"You must be crazy. Do you think I will be able to get out of the house even with my father in the vicinity?" Radhika replied in a 'you're kidding me kind of tone.
"I don't know about that, you should know by now how to handle it as you've broken rules many times with me, Rads. I want to celebrate with you." Sam said in an irritated tone.
Radhika looked at the wall clock, it was 9 PM already, how was she going to manage to escape without getting noticed by anyone?
It was a huge risk.
"But, Sam, I can't..." Radhika tried to explain.
" I'm coming to your place if you don't come here," Sam warned her.
Radhika sat upright on the bed, holding the phone to her ear.
"Whoa! alright, I will do what I can do." Radhika relented a little, but the call was already cut.
