If Sushant's Back?

Bollywood Biggies

It was that time now. I wore a blue shimmery knee-length dress. Shushant helped me choosing that. All through the day, received calls several calls from people. Among those calls, I got a call from an assistant of Mahesh Bhatt saying he will be sending a car for the venue.

I promised my mom dad to be back home as early as possible and Sush promised to be there with me. I had no idea what I was going to face there. The car arrived and I was on it. I was very nervous, Sush hold my hand as he understood that. I couldn't help myself from blushing. The driver looked at me weirdly from the rearview mirror.

After a while,he took us to a tall building... Possibly an apartment. He guided us to the actual place we were supposed to be.

It was lightly lit. Many celebrities standing scattered. Few clicking images and were gossiping with drinks in their hands. All this was new to me. I felt lost in the room filled with glamour. I looked out for a corner and sat down there wondering how people can cling and click pictures with each other. I also wondered why I wasn't starstruck seeing so many celebrities all around. None of them seemed to know who I was or why was even invited. and I guess they didn't even bother to know. I saw a gang of celebs at a corner bending on to the table. I don't exactly, but I guess they were sniffing some kind of powder. I guess this is what happens in these big peoples' parties, DRUGS.

I sat patiently. I called sush biting my lip so that nobody could notice me. He reappeared and sat beside me. I took out my mobile and looked at it as if I was super busy and mumble talked to sush, " so all this happens in your parties huh!" I whispered. he heard me and replied " umm not in all parties though... they are Bollywood biggies, they have made it large and have secured life for their whole generations. they literally have nothing to lose. they have to be a part of this crowd to be able to carry out their career in this industry.."

He continued explaining this when the person who called me to the party arrived, Mahesh Bhatt Sahab.

"Hello Payal, glad you attended the party. I hope you are having a great time... Aren't you drink, 'Govind, madam ko drink do Bhai' (he called out one of his servants to give a glass of drink)" 

" No sir, am totally fine, I don't drink," I said in utter politeness

"Then you must me into powder... " he said with a grin... I swear to god, it scared the shit out of me.

" No, no absolutely not... Am totally fine sir," I said... he reached his right hand onto my shoulder and fasted his grip. I looked at sush in utter uneasiness. he was biting his teeth in anger. I faked a smile with utter discomfort...

He walked me towards a sofa in another corner of the room. I could see another very famous director sitting over there seemingly waiting for us to arrive. I had that horrible smile on my face all the while we were walking to the sofa... Mr. Bhatt introduced me.

" So here is the recent internet sensation and also the guest of honor tonight, Payal Mahapatra" he said gesturing his hand towards me. I smiled fishily. 

" Oh! so you are that girl knowing so many facts about the dead... " the other director said chuckling. I could sense the sarcasm in his tone. They gestured me to have a seat. Mr. Bhatt took an at beside me. They started talking about random topics of my whereabouts. All the time, sush stood in front of me gesturing not to give out too much information. Slowly Mr. Bhatt slipped his hand on my thigh moving closer to me, I could sense his intentions. The way he crumbled my skin gave me chills, I looked at sush in horror, I could see the pain in his eyes, of how helpless he was, he just looked away, unable to look into my eyes.

I couldn't think of anything to do. my mind froze at the thought of any mishaps. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall ahead, it was 9:20 pm now, I could make an excuse and leave. " Oh! its 9:20, am so sorry I need to rush home, my parents will be tensed." I said dragging my dress to its place. I managed to stand up. Mr. Bhatt clutched my wrist in his hand and pulled me down. His expression was different now. He looked straight into my eyes and said " what did u think? you are so special that I'd throw a party for you. No dear... You are a key to reach our secrets... and I wouldn't let that happen" he said bending towards me trying to lean on me... I kept resisting back.  " please help me," I said... The crowd of celebrities was now vanished all the wine glasses laid empty and half full... I kept calling for help. Sush stood there helpless. He tried pushing that monster away from my body. But every time he tried to touch him, his hand would pass through him. He couldn't even make him feel his presence... He looked at the surroundings for any kind of help. But everything was in vain. There were nobody and nothing he could even touch. He walked toward me and said to push that monster off me... But then I didn't have that strength to push him away. Sush almost had tears in his eyes.... He demonstrated how to do it... Even then it was very tough for me. That old sulty man was all over me... Unbuttoning his trousers. Sush was so annoyed with his helplessness that he placed his hand on mine and tried to show how to do it...

Surprisingly, this time, I was able to move that man off me. Sush understood the trick he put all his force and pushed that bastard off me... As soon as he got off me... I stood up and ran off t the stairs. Sush grabbed my hand in his and kept running... We took the stairs and ran down. We took an auto to reach back home. All through the way, sush hold my hand in his and I could see him tearing down. I was still shivering in fear...

I wanted to hug him tight and assure him that I was fine, but I decided to wait till we reach home.
