I hadn't done anything in quite a long time, my routine was just work and home, the only time I really went out was when I went with Yug on dates. I was still new to Mumbai so I hadn't really made friends who would invite me to go out or anything and I figured, if I was going to wait around for someone to invite me, I was just going to be stuck at home.

I wanted to live my life, I wanted to go out, have fun, party hard and do whatever that would make me happy, so it was high time I went, even if it was alone. It was funny how once I had two closest friend with whom I felt like I would never need other friends, but Tanvi betrayed us and Arnav was too complicated.

I dressed up for a club and decided even though I didn't have anyone to go along with, I was going to go on my own and enjoy my life, so that's what I did, I got ready, searched for some of the most happening clubs, picked one and took a taxi there, it was the weekend after all.

I wanted to party till morning then sleep the whole of Sunday and wake up hungover and just know I did something to make myself happy for once.

The taxi dropped me outside baroke club, there were so many people around, as I walked in, I felt like everyone was staring at me, maybe because I was coming to a club all alone but I didn't let that bother me, I just ignored everything and headed inside as I settled down at the bar.

The bartender immediately walked up to me and asked what I would like to drink so I gave him my order and waited for him to make the drink as I looked around.

There were so many people here, so many dancing on the loud music that was playing, some standing and some seated around along with their friends and so and here I was all alone, it felt a bit strange but exciting too.

Once my drink was ready, I grabbed the glass and gulped it all down, wow that burnt! I stood up and walked to the dance floor, it was fully crowded who was going to care whether I was dancing alone right?

I started dancing to the music, at first I was a bit conscious but then as the mood set in, I got too lost into the music to care, I danced, I jumped I acted crazy and I really dint have to care about anything.

Wow, taking myself out was proving to be so fun and exciting, I literally had no idea how long I had danced for until my feet started feeling numb, so I walked back to the bar, I didn't want to get too drunk because I still had to take a taxi home so I had to be safe.

I sat down for a moment, trying to catch a breath when I heard someone speak so close to my ear.

"Hi." I turned to look at the guy that was standing on my left, looking at me in awe. He was pretty tall, he had dark brown eyes and curly hair that really suited him well, he was pretty hot too.

"Hi." I replied.

"I've been watching you dance for a while, you really do know how to." He smiled as he sat down beside me.

"I doubt that, it was a stupid dance." I laughed.

"No... it was really good. So are you alone?"

"Why, are you planning on kidnapping me if I'm alone?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a serial killer." He laughed, he had a really beautiful laughter, like you could just watch him laugh and stare at him in awe.

I just smiled and then looked away from him and continued watching other people dance, I checked my phone and it was almost 1.pm. Wow, I must have dance for a long time, I remember coming to the club at around 11.

"Do you want to get out? Get to a silent place, sit and talk?" He asked. I looked back at him and for a moment just looked at him silently, I really dint know what to answer him.

I mean I know the whole context behind what he said, he just wanted for us to talk, get to know and other and so on, which meant he was interested in me and quite honestly, if my life had been simpler, i would be interested in him too, but I had a lot going on currently.

"I'm sorry, I don't think so."

"That's okay, don't worry I can take a no." He smiled and then looked towards the crowd once again, I sighed as I did the same too, watched people dance for a while and then decided it was time for me to get back home.

I had made a lot of plans on enjoying life and making myself happy so I had a plan of taking myself out for dinner tomorrow at a really good restaurant, actually today because it was 1 o'clock already, so I needed to get home and sleep and be fresh for my dinner.

"Anyway, it was nice meeting you, I'll get going." I waved a goodbye at him, he hadn't really introduced himself so I didn't even know his name.

"Sure, I'll see you around hopefully."

"Not sure about that, I'm not really a club type of a person, I don't go every weekend. I was just getting out, trying to enjoy life and there's more to life than just clubbing every weekend." I laughed.

"Still, the world is a small place, I might bump into you somewhere else."

"I doubt that, but we'll see." I laughed as I headed out, right now all I was looking for was friendship, after Arnav and Yug, I really dint want to start dating or anything and that's why I said no when he asked to get out. I wish I knew his name though.

I waited outside the club for my uber to get here, as soon as I spotted it, I waved at the driver who drove towards me and stopped it where I was standing, I got inside and he drove me back home.

*****

I woke up at noon with a really bad headache, I don't know where this hungover came from, I didn't even drink that much, it was just one glass, but maybe it was because I dint drink much.

I got out of my bed and headed to take a shower hoping that would help my hungover, which did help a bit, and then and cooked myself some lunch and ate alone by the window of my apartment, just watching the sky.

Once I was done with lunch, I grabbed my phone from the bedroom then walked back to the hall, sat down on the couch and turned the TV on so I could watch something. I went through my notifications and then through my mail, I scrolled through a few spam mails and then stopped at one that got me so excited.

I had sent my resume to so many different companies and I had got a reply from one of them, they wanted me to go for an interview.

Oh My God! This was great, I didn't think I was going to find a new job this soon, I mean I hadn't really gotten it, there was still the interview part but still, it was a big deal. It was like finally everything in my life was moving in the right direction for once.

I had to go for the interview tomorrow morning which meant I would be late for work tomorrow, I had to call Yug and inform him I was going to be late.

I placed my phone aside and scrolled through a few movies on the Tv, I picked one and pressed play.

A few minutes into the movie, I heard my door bell ring, which was quite surprising given I didn't really have friends and I had told Arnav to stay away from me, and just ended things with Yug so who could be visiting me?

I stood up and headed to open the door, and to my surprise, Yug was standing there holding a carton in his hand.

"Hey, I just came to return your stuff." He said.

I moved aside and let him in, once he walked in, I closed the door and followed him, we both sat down and looked at each other, I wondered what things of mine he had that he was returning.

"What's in the carton?" I asked curiously.

"Just your stuff... a scarf, some gifts you gave me while we were together and just things you forgot at my place whenever you came over, I secretly hid them so I could look at them whenever I missed you." He laughed and then his expressions changed to sad ones.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it would hurt this much, I didn't know I was so attached to you." He shrugged.

"It's okay... it happens."

"I just... Isn't there a way we can work things out Khushi? I am so sorry, I really don't know why I kissed that girl, I shouldn't have, but it doesn't change my feelings for you, I made a mistake and I promise never to do anything like that again... I just... I was happy with you in my life. The past couple weeks have been really hard, I keep thinking about you and missing you and I just feel so bad for messing it up, I really want you back in my life. Bringing your things over was just an excuse to see you... Please Khushi, give me one last chance?" He looked at me hopefully.

Oh... just when I thought everything in my life was going smoothly. I mean I had just started enjoying my own company, I just when to a club on my own last night, I had fun, I had dinner reservations today for myself, I had just began doing things for myself once and I wanted to continue doing so... I wanted to go to clubs, to dinners, to places where I could enjoy.

I wanted to travel to other towns and cities and someday out of the country too and I wanted to do it on my own, I couldn't really go back to where I was.

"No Yug. I'm sorry I really can't get back with you. You messed up yes, but so did I. I don't think even if we get back together it's going to work out, I was with you for the wrong reasons, I thought you would help me move on from Arnav and that you would help me be happy but that was all wrong.

I have to be happy on my own and move on, on my own, and I have just started doing that, I have taken a step ahead in my life and I can't go back, I really can't."

"I get it... I just thought it was worth a shot, but you are right too." He smiled faintly.

"Anyway, here's your stuff, I'll get going then." He sighed. He stood up and walked towards the door, I followed him and opened it for him, he stepped out and turned to look at me as he waved goodbye and then walked away while I shut the door and headed back to sit.
