"Tell me... how are you getting home??" I started feeling quite concerned. She was completely delusional, neither did she acknowledge my voice nor did she acknowledge her own presence. However as a duty of a man and knowledge of today's society, i cannot leave her alone at this time and in this state.
I faced her again and noticed her head was down on the table; i can't just leave her here.

"Hey... hey Avni??" I gently placed my hand on her shoulder. "Hey... we need to get you home." I didn't want to startle her either, through observing her I have noticed she isn't very comfortable around men.

She slowly raised her head from the table and looked through her half opened eyes, but didn't respond.
"aapka ghar kahaan hai?" She simply shook her head in response and fell back into the table. Does she even want to go home? I'll see if I can unlock her phone and find her address somewhere. Slowly, I picked up her hand and grabbed her phone, then placed her hand back. She had face ID... now i just have to get her to look towards me.

"Avni... hey mere taraph dekho." I lightly tapped her face. She reluctantly looked towards me, where i had her phone on and it unlocked. She wasn't at all fazed and again rested her head on the table. I didn't want to invade her privacy and scroll through her camera roll or anything, so i tried looking at her contacts.
"Neela Maa💝" was listed as a speed dial. I know she said that she doesn't want her Maa to see her like this, but I'd rather know she's safe then leave her here. I rang the number, after a few seconds, she answered:

Neela Maa: Hello baccha?? are you okay??
Neil: Hi is this Avni's Maa?
Neela Maa: Oh... yes hi who is this? And where's Avni?
Neil: Hi i'm Neil, I bumped into your beti at Blue Tiger Bar and it seems that she's not in a state to be left alone, but she wasn't telling me where she lives so i figured I'd try calling one of her contacts.
Neela Maa: Oh Avni... I'm so sorry she does this every couple weeks, sometimes multiple times a week. I'm so sorry but i'm working a night shift right now, is Deeya there?
Neil: Who's Deeya?
Neela Maa: There's a bar tender there... she's a good friend of Avni's and she usually handles her when she gets like this. I'm not sure if her shift has ended or not but can you see any female workers at the bar right now?
Neil: No, right now I just see three men working at the bar.
Neela Maa: Oh koi baat nahi, are you in the position to help Avni right now, I'm so sorry about this.
Neil: No no it's not a problem, in fact i called you because i wanted to see if there's a way i could help.
Neela Maa: thank you so much for this, so our address is 240 Nehru Road, it should be about a 15 minute drive from there. Is there a way you could drop her home? I have a spare key underneath our plant pot on the left of our front door.
Neil: Of course, I'll drop her now.
Neela Maa: Thank you so so much.
Neil: no problem Neela Aunty, bye bye.

240 Nehru Road, I repeated to myself. "Avni, we have to go... Avni tum sun rahe ho na?" It took me a couple minutes of talking to her before she finally sat up- I didn't want to force her. "Hey, I'm going to drive you home, is that okay?" I took out some water from my bag and moved it towards her. She looked at the bottle with tired eyes and blinked a couple times- i assumed that was an indication that she wants it so i started moving it closer to her face and she slowly opened her mouth. I took that as a sign that she wants me to feed her the water, so i placed the mouth of the bottle on her lips and she started drinking some. After a few big sips she stopped and i removed the bottle. I noticed she seemed more sort of- alive i guess.

"I spoke to your Neela Maa, she has asked me to drop you home, is that okay with you?" I asked politely.
"Haan... okay fine." She finally responded. I helped her up and checked to see if she was okay to walk without my support. She immediately fell back onto the chair the moment i let go of her, so I helped her back up and then placed her hand over my shoulder, and my other hand lightly gripped her waist. "tum theek ho?" She nodded in response.

I placed her in in the passenger seat of my car, i thought maybe i'll place her in the back seat but just in case i need to hold her head or anything i thought it's better to have her closer. Then i got into the drivers seat and put in the address of her house into my sat nav.
