#I know a very weird picture but I just wanted to explain... the "+" sign is for interest, the "-" sign is for disinterest. "?" is for to make the readers confuse for some time :P#

I slowly opened my eyes hearing a sound feeling well-rested but had to open them wider when I found a face closer to mine making me realize the place I just slept.

"Prathap!" I stiffened hearing an unfamiliar tone while feeling scared because of the situation I am in right now.

Who is it? Oh god! How can I get into a situation like this? I shouldn't have let my sleep win over me for sure otherwise, I wouldn't have been in this situation.

However, before I could react or shift away, he mumbled, "What is it?"

Then he slowly opened his eyes but his viewpoint is over my shoulder and then his eyes shift to stare at me while I stared back at him with my wide eyes.

He suddenly shouted asking, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Your hands!" I mumbled pointing his hands so that I could at least move from this awkward position.

He frowned hearing those words and continued to give frantic reaction but I started pushing him away and he finally realized before releasing me from his hold.

"Dad! Who is she?" he asked looking over my shoulder while I sat properly to make sure the attire is in place.

"You are asking me? You should know who she is." His Dad replied while I sighed in relief that it's his Dad and not someone who could release this event to media.

"But I don't know and who else can I ask?" he asked back while I frowned at his words.

It's been a year and I can understand him forgetting that short moment but still how can he ask who I am near his Dad.

"Excuse me!" I mumbled getting up from the bed before taking a deep breath to look at his Dad.

"This is not what it looks like. He was drunk and I just helped him but slept off without realizing where I am." I explained in simple words before giving him a nod and took my purse to slip away calmly.

"Do you want to go out now when there are media outside?" His words stopped me from moving.

"Media? Why?" I asked him frowning while he sighed before looking at his son and I followed his sight.

I stopped myself from snorting when Prathap is still staring at me with a confused look while showing an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Dad! I don't know her." He assured him while his Dad took out his phone before making a few calls while I had to stand there feeling awkward.

"A car is waiting at the back of the restaurant. You both need to come with me right now." Saying that his Dad stepped out of the room while I frowned at those words.

"Why should we..." Prathap asked while following him and I just stood there before taking out my phone which I put in silent mode during the party yesterday.

I groaned finding numerous missed calls from Keerthi and her husband and also from Vikranth and Kanika. I closed my eyes before opening the messages and found a few friends of mine sending a few links asking whether it is true.

I covered my mouth seeing the pictures of mine from the bar yesterday and they continued to this building and there are many with him.

I glanced at the message from Vikranth asking me to come to the company the moment I see the message and I immediately stepped out of the room where I found a Dad completely ignoring his Son.
