Mohabbatein

...drunk!?

Sameeksha's POV
I woke up when my phone buzzed. I rubbed my eyes and saw a message from Abhishek. It was 8 o'clock.

A: Tumhare ghar aa raha hu

S: Kya chal raha hai? Bandana ro kyu rhi thi itna?

A: Aake sab batata hu. Vese is she sleeping?

S: Haan, boht mushkil se soi

A: Don't wake her up then, I'm coming.

I placed a pillow under Bandana's head and went to have a shower.

Abhishek was at my place in half an hour. We went to my room.

He locked the door, I stood still looking at him, what was he even doing!?

"Abhishek, mujhe sab batao. Sab. Right now" I said. He nodded lowering his lashes.

"Actually..." He started and told me everything about last night. "Fir me, Shub aur Nagar, Manjot ko ghar le gey" He finished.

I sat on the bed, covering my face behind my palms. All this happened, and I knew nothing about it. Bandana was crying her heart out and I didn't even know that this was the reason.

How could Manjot do this to her? I genuinely trusted him, actually, SHE trusted him.

"Sameeksha...dekho..." Abhishek tried to say, holding my hands. "He fucking tried to rape her!!  I said removing my hands and looking at him.

"Come on, rape nhi tha woh" Abhishek said, "tum pohonch gey isi lie nhi tha. Sexual assault to tha na?" I asked. "Strong case ho sakta hai uspe" I said a bit loudly.

"Sameeksha...listen" He said sitting in his knees, "maana tum Manjot ko utna nhi jaanti jitna me jaanta hu, but still, do you seriously think woh Bandana ke saath esa kar sakta hai?" He asked.

"I. Don't. Care." I said gritting my teeth. He sighed and lowered his head.

This really happened with Bandana. Tears started forming in my eyes.

"Abhishek" I said crying, "Sameeksha, no" He said softly, hugging me. "Woh boht ro rhi thi kal raat...yeh reason tha" I cried even more.

"Woh boht pyaar karti hai Mandy se" I said, "Sameeksha please don't cry, hame hi sab sambhalna hai" He said rubbing my back. I hummed and looked at him.

"Kya keh rahe the tum?" I asked wiping my tears.

"Me nhi jaanta usne esa kyu kia, par kal kucch unusual dekha mene usme" He said. "Kya?" I asked.

"Uski aankhe laal thi. Jab me room me gaya, aur chillaya tab uska dhyaan sirf Bandana pe tha, jese room me koi aaya hi na ho. Weak tha woh kal, mere ek thappad se neeche gir gaya" He tried to explain.

"Are you saying...he was..." I said looking at him, "...drunk" He completed.

"We're not allowed to drink. Manjot acche se jaanta hai...then how..." He said running his fingers through his hair.

"To...kisi ne dhoke se pila dia hoga" I said, "baccha thodi hai woh, pilaya bhi to usko pata chalna chahiye tha" He said, "yeh kucch aur hi chakkar hai" He said looking at me.

"I need your help" He said.

*******

Abhishek's POV
I wanted Sameeksha to help me, but we decided to wait for sometime as Bandana needed her more.

Shub called me and told me that Manjot woke up, I went home.

Manjot was sitting on his bed, holding his head between boht of his hands.

I placed my hand on his shoulder, he looked up.

"Tu bhi yaha? Kese?" He asked, confusing me. "Mandy woh..." I said but he stopped me, "yaar sar boht dard kar raha hai, please koi dawai dede. Kucch bhi de, bas dard hatade kese bhi karke" He said in a low tone.

I called Sameeksha, she instructed me with the tablets.

"Ham thodi der me aate hai, tu rest kar" I said to Mandy. He nodded.
