CHAPTER 31

MUMBAI

OBEROI MANSION

Soumya's Room

IshSou are playing with Mishti.

Ishu: Where this Priyanka has gone??

Soumya: Maybe she went to meet her friend.

Voice: Correct!! I went to meet my friend only. (IshSou turn and see Priyanka who is smiling entering inside the room. She goes and lifts Mishti.) Oh, my baby!!?? Did you miss me??

Soumya: I don't know if this small baby missed you but this big baby missed you a lot. (Pulls Ishana's hand.)

Prinku: Oh!! This big baby missed me!!?? (Teasingly)

Ishu: (slaps SouPri's arm playfully.) Stop 'baby’ me. Since morning, all are annoying me with this 'baby’. (SouPri laugh and have a high five.) Priyanka, where have you went just now??

Prinku: I went to meet my friend, bhabhi. It's been a long time. That's why.

Ishu: Where is Ranveer?? You went with him, right??

Prinku: Yes. He dropped me at her place and left from there. I thought he is back here. (She lies.)

Ishu: No. He didn't come yet.

Prinku: Where is Rudra bhaiya??

Soumya: He must have gone to meet his friends and plan for any parties. Don't you know, Priyanka that your brother is a party holic?? He will have a party at least once a week. (IshPri laugh.)

Prinku: Bhabhi, are you a party holic??

Ishu: No no. I don't like parties and I won't attend any of it unless if it is really important. And that too if my friends accompany me. I won't go alone.

Soumya: Really, di?? You didn't attend any parties or functions alone??

Ishu: No. I haven't…….. (thinks a while.) There is one party which I attended alone.

Prinku: Which party??

Ishu: My office party which was organised by my boss 1 ½ year ago here in Mumbai. That was the only party I attended alone. And I regret why did I attend the party that night. (Sighs)

Soumya: Why?? The party was boring??

Ishu: Do you know when was the party held?? (SouPri shake their heads in negative.) It was the same night where I did Gauri's accident. (SouPri look at her shockingly.) Till now I can't even remember how I did the accident even though I have tried a lot to remember it. (Rubs her forehead.)

Prinku: You don't remember about the accident, it's ok. But did you remember whatever happened in that party??

Ishu: Yeah, everyone was dancing and enjoying the party.

Soumya: Did you dance as well??

Ishu: No, I didn't dance. I just stood having my drinks.

SouPri: (raise their eyebrows) Drinks??

Ishu: Hey, not hard drinks!! I just had fruit juice. (SouPri laugh.)

Prinku: We know that you don't like alcohol. But did your colleagues had alcohol??

Ishu: My boss didn't arrange any hard drinks for that party because they need to catch their early morning flight. So, they also only had light drinks. (She thinks something.) But that juice was different.

Soumya: Different means??

Ishu: I only had few sips of that juice and suddenly my vision becomes blur. My head started to spin badly. I thought because I was lack of sleep as I didn't sleep properly for a few days because I was busy preparing the presentation. I thought it will be fine if I wash my face. So, I left to the washroom. I was not able to walk steadily and I collided with someone. Something spilled on my dress and I can't stand the smell. I ran from there to the washroom and wash my face but my condition was still the same. Somehow, I managed to walk to my boss and told him that I wanted to go back to my hotel. He offered to drop me but I refused him and left from there.
