“ Let’s grab some drinks “ Ruhi said.

“ Drinks?? Aren’t you full? You look intoxicated as fuck “ khanak said.

“ Nope. I want more, and more and more” she said.

“ You’re not getting more” Said Rubal, he just came inside and saw Ruhi talking to a stranger.

“ hey, are you with her?” khanak questioned.

“ Yeah” Rubal replied.

“ Ok then, take her back to hotel dude. She’s so full” Khanak said.

“ No, I don’t wanna go. I wanna enjoy. ”Ruhi said.

“ Shut up Ruhi, go back. I’ll see you tomorrow “ Khanak said making her stand from her seat.

After a lot of explanation and persuasion, Rubal took Ruhi back to the hotel.

In hotel….

“ Are you Drunk? Is she Drunk?” Rhea looked at Ruhi and Rubal, who was holding ruhi in his arms.

“ We’ll see that later.. first of all leave Ruhi, how dare you hold her in your arms? “Raavi pulled Ruhi towards her and said. “ She might be in a feud but she is not a public property bro, she’s married. So stay away from her” she continued pointing her towards Rubal.

“Alright, if you think so, fine. Next time, I’ll leave this drunken Ruhi in her condition. It’s not an era of goodness; do good for others and face the consequences.” He said and left.

Rhea and Raavi helped her to change in a comfy nightwear, Ruhi peacefully fell asleep due to the exhaustion of the day and indulgence in intoxication.

“ What’s wrong with her Yaar Raavi? She never touched alcohol before and now, just look at her, so fucking intoxicated “ Rhea said.

“ I just hope, she finds a way through it” Raavi said.

At night, Raavi slowly opened her eyes and looked at both of them, she tried to wake them up but they were sleeping like babies. Huh, look at them In such deep slumber, even if a murder were committed, they might not realize it. Soti reh jaygi dono She said to herself and slowly , sneaked out of the bed.

Raavi went to the balcony and took out her phone to call Anurag. After few rings, Anurag picked up her call.

“ Why are you disturbing my sleep so early in the morning? Go to sleep and let me sleep too.” He said and disconnected the call .

Huh.. how dare you cut my call Anurag. Raavi huffed in anger and called him again. Before Anurag could say anything, Ravi started pouring out his frustration on him, leaving Anurag startled and unable to speak.

“How did you have the audacity to hang up on me? Here, I’m struggling to reach out to you, and you’re showing attitude to me only, your wife only. I won’t return if your behaviour persists like this…”She said.

After listening to Raavi, Anurag’s entire sleep disappeared. He woke up in a haste and spoke “ hahh.. baby.. you… it’s you….you have no idea of how much worried I was. Where are you baby? Why didn’t you tell me before leaving?” He bombarded Raavi with questions.

“ Mai Nahi bta Rahi kuch, tum he to neend aa Rahi thi na… so Jao”

( I’m not telling you anything, you were feeling sleepy na.. go sleep)

“ Sorry na baby.. I love you na.. please gussa chor do na “ Anurag said.

“ why?? Give me one reason.. then I’ll think about it “ Raavi said.

“ Hmmm… See, I’ll tell you, I am with Aahan , and I honestly say his condition is very bad. He’s been crying since yesterday, and he’s been drinking a lot . I brought him here around two at night . I consoled him with great difficulty and made him sleep.” Anurag said.

“ Here, Ruhi’s condition is similar to Aahan’s. She may not be crying, but internally, she’s shattered. She went alone to the club with Rubal, and she returned intoxicated. I was truly astonished to see her – a girl who never touched alcohol in her whole life , in such intoxication. I can’t believe this, This is literally un believable. What’s happening with them Anurag ? I can’t see them like this. “ Raavi said in a melancholic tone.

“ They are meant to be together and they will be together soon. Have faith in almighty, he won’t do anything wrong “ Anurag said.

“But when? Until when will these two remain so distant?” she said.

“ I really don’t know Raavi. Think about it; I’ve seen Aahan longing for her since childhood. He has endured a lot in his life. He has struggled immensely to attain her, and now, even after finding her, his one mistake and made him loose her again “ Anurag said.

“ did he tell you?” Raavi asked.

“ Yeah, he told me everything. But you know na, how dangerous Aahan’s anger is. He can never tolerate any disrespect or opposition.” Anurag said.

“But he needs to understand, Anurag. Ruhi is his wife, and how can someone treat their wife in such a manner? Especially a wife whom he has loved since childhood, a girl he has cherished almost his entire life” Raavi said.

“ I totally understand Raavi, Aahan is wrong and whatever happened was wrong. Please talk to Ruhi , make her understand and please convince her to come back” Anurag said.

“Ruhi is my best friend, Anurag. I cannot abandon her. Aahan has done wrong, and he needs to face the consequences of his actions. I cannot intervene in this matter. Whatever decisions she makes, I am with her in it.” Raavi said.

“I understand your point, but you know everything. Even after knowing everything, why aren’t you giving Aahan a chance? He truly loves Ruhi. Please talk to Ruhi on my behalf. Please “ Anurag pleaded.

“ What can I do, Anurag? I can’t do anything in this matter. How do I tell Ruhi to talk to Aahan? She has a lot of trust in me, and she might feel I’m supporting Aahan by encouraging her to talk to him. Tell Aahan to be honest with Ruhi. Maybe everything will be okay if he tells the truth. And I think Ruhi also has the same feelings as Aahan. If not then she won’t be effected so hard” Raavi said.

“ Hmmm… I’ll talk to Aahan over this matter. You’re right, maybe if he tells her the truth, she’ll understand him” Anurag said.

“ hmmm… ye sab chore and tell me, how are you?” Raavi asked him.

“ Jaise tu chor Ke Gayi haii” Anurag said.

“ Take care of yourself Anurag . I’ll go now, if anyone of them see me talking to you. They are definitely gonna murder me “ Raavi said.

“ Are wait? Please, just tell me where you are, it will help me a little “ he said.

Ruhi paused for a little and then said, “ “Le mile care” Bye for now, I love you “ and disconnected the call.

She had barely turned to go into the room when her eyes fell upon the person standing in front of her, and her eyes widened.

“ Rhea” she murmured .

“ Haan Rhea” Rhea said.

“ Hehheeh.. you… you here? Can’t sleep?” Raavi asked her chuckling.

“ Meri choro….Tell me, what are you doing here so late at night?” She asked Raavi.

“ Me?? Nothing. Fresh air.. came her for fresh air” She said taking deep breaths, as if showing her that she is actually standing in the balcony for taking in fresh air. “ Let’s go inside now.” She continued and took a step forward but Rhea stopped her by holding her hand.

“ I heard everything thing” Rhea said looking in her eyes.

“ what?? What did .. did you hear?” Raavi said turning her gaze down to avoid eye contact with her.

“ Childhood love? Cherished her ,his whole life?” Rhea said as she was surprised hearing all this.

“ Rhea.. wo.. woo.. “ Raavi stammering, she was clueless of what she should say to Rhea.

“ Are you gonna tell me or should I go and tell everything to Ruhi” Rhea said threateningly and turned around to go inside the room.

“ Wait wait.. Don’t tell her anything. “ Raavi said stopping her.

“ So speak..” Rhea said. And Raavi told her everything from the beginning from when Aahan asked her for all the wedding drama and truth about Ruhi and him .

“ Wo Aahan hi haii” Rhea said as she was in a state of shock. She immediately hugged Raavi.

“ What happened Rhea?” she questioned as she was startled by her sudden action.

“ You know, I knew he’ll come looking for her. “ Rhea said breaking the hug.

“ You know him?? You know everything??” she asked Rhea.

“ Hmm … I’m so so so happy for Ruhi” but suddenly , reality hit her again. All her happiness vanished from her face and turned into anger. Her eyes became red again and she said “ No, he did a crime and he’ll pay for it” .

“ But Rhea…” No but wait .. there is no chance of but” she said and stepped inside the room. Raavi stood there for sometimes and then she also went to bed.
