"He doesn't look heavy but..." Aaruhi complained as she pushed the door to Mayur's bedroom with his one hand across he shoulders.

"It's because of his long body that it feels tough to drag him around," Tanuja explained with the other arm across her shoulders.

"I can always help if you could just..." Yug spoke but Aaruhi stared him shut.

"You have done enough to him already," she scolded. "We will handle this ourselves... Sir."

'Dammit! There's that anger again.' After figuring out that he had forced a drink on Mayank, Aaruhi had been completely mad at him. Her anger so intense that she didn't even allow him a moment to tell her the imposter's truth.

"But I just..." he mumbled, thinking of some way to calm her down and let her know the truth but just like before, Aaruhi silenced him.

"Just go! Leave!" She yelled. Even Tanuja flinched over the loudness of her voice and decided to stay out of the conflict. Feeling powerless against her rage, Yug decided to let it be for the day.

"If..." Yug turned around, "If you need anything, just let me no." He stood there for a moment, hoping for an 'okay' from her but none came. Finally sighing, he walked out leaving Mayank's apartment, slamming the door behind him.

Aaruhi sighed, partly regretting her anger but also wasn't able to forgive him for Mayur's state. "You can just ignore him, for now. Let's just get Mayur in," she told Tanuja and they both dragged him towards his bed.
