Sunayn's POV:

I reached the bar a little late coz I had to convince my mom that I am going to meet a friend and I would be late. At first she glared at me saying why should I meet him in the night when I could even go in the morning. I had to make up a story saying that a friend of mine will be busy in the morning and I don't have any other options other than meeting at night. My dad supported me saying I am not a kid and can handle myself. I sighed with relief when dad said that. I had to thank dad for that later. With goodbye I left but due to traffic I was late. I don't know what she and her friend will think about me now.
I took a deep breath and went inside and started searching for her. As I don't know who her friend was I searched all the possible girls but at last I found her talking and laughing with a guy. And the dress she was wearing was completely different from the actual ones she prefers. This dress actually accentuates her curves and body well and I can literally drool over her. I am sure many of them are doing the same but I know she was not much aware about it.
Her gaze landed on me and she stood silent for a moment before poking the guy beside her. They both came forward and I was not understanding why she was bringing him to me. And the guy looked uninterested as well.
Wait. I think I know him but I don't remember clearly.
" Hi Sunayn. I am glad you came". She said with a small smile while that guy just stared at me.
She kicked him with her elbow and signalled something with her eyes.
" Umm.. he is my friend Ranjith and Ranjith he is... " Before she could finish her sentence he probably jumped in happiness.
" Bhayya, it's me Ranjith. We were in the same college and I was your junior " he chirped happily and I am sure I know him. I nodded my head and he started talking to me about how he missed me in the college days and how he was inspired by me.
I was happy to meet him and I saw Nainika smiling at him while he was pouring his heart out. She kept her palm under her chin and kept listening to him. When she observed my gaze she shifted awkwardly. I smirked internally and talked with him.
" Now tell me how the surprise is? " She interrupted in the middle of our conversation and he just got up and hugged her.
" You little kitten! you never told me that you already know him. You have been hiding for so many days. I thought you would share everything with me " he fake glared while she just smiled at him.
" Will you please stop the drama and bring me some alcohol. I came here to have fun not to hear your shit " she said sweetly and I was shocked to hear her. I thought her friend could be a girl but I understood that it was him she was referring to. I know these both are just friends and nothing more than that but still I felt a sort of insecurity about them.
In the meantime Ranjith ordered wine and we were offered it. Nainika without any second gulped the drink and started fanning herself feeling the burning sensation in her throat.
" That's why I tell you you should not gulp until and unless you are ready for the sensation " he shrugged and we both took big gulps. Ranjith was just ranting about everything coming in his mind while I briefly conversed with him observing how Nainika was drinking without any hesitation. I never thought she would be drinking alcohol but how wrong was I. She was drinking as if the alcohol would be over soon.
" I am going to dance. Will you join me? " She said and I am surprised to see that she did not slur at all. She was steady and attentive as usual.
" Why not? The floor is all ours. Come " he said gesturing to me to come but I refused politely.
When they both reached the floor the music also blasted with them dancing gracefully. I can see most of the guys gazing at her while she just clinged to Ranjith as if he warned her. On a positive note it's better to see her clinging to him rather than all the males on the floor. A few of them approached them to dance along with her but he just turned her towards the other side and held her tightly. I wanted to be the person who she should be holding not him or any other person. So I just got up and went ahead near her. When she saw me approaching she left him and came near me. I smiled at her and felt proud that she trusted me. I signalled him that I would take care and he just nodded while enjoying himself. She kept her hands on my chest and looked into my eyes. I don't know if it was the alcohol or the feeling but she blushed as soon as she saw in my eyes. Her eyes speak more than her lips. She was too short than me. In spite of wearing heels she just reaches my shoulders. She was talking to me about something while swaying her hips and didn't hear anything due to the music. I held onto her back and pushed towards me and she flushed immediately.
" I cannot hear anything you say " I said in her ear and kissed there while she shivered under me.
She looked at me with shyness in her eyes but her lips were still blabbering.
I don't know what she was saying so I just danced while forgetting about everything.
Then after sometime we sat at the table and Nainika was in not her senses  and she kept slurring about something or the other. Ranjith paid the bill and took hold of her placing his hand on her waist. I was just jealous seeing him so effortlessly placing his hand there. And I am impressed with his capability of being sober even after drinking that much. I too drank but very minimal coz I know what's the amount of alcohol that will make me lose control. Slowly he took her to her car and made her sit in the back seat. He sat along with her and I also sat in the front seat. Raju saw her and sighed before starting the car. We reached her home but she kept slurring non stop in the whole ride and was amazed with Ranjith that he didn't go deaf already.
He carried her inside as she was not willing to get up. He took her in the bedroom and made her lie on the bed. I saw him tugging her in the blanket and kissed her forehead and closed the door.
" She should stop this drinking. It's getting over board sometimes " he mumbled. He went into the kitchen and came after sometime with two mugs. It was coffee. I needed it I was feeling stressed too.
" Why does she drink too much if she can't handle herself? " I asked after clearing my throat.
" I too don't know why? She used to just tag along with me and later she started it slowly and now without her knowledge she drinks too much. She is very disturbed about something. she never tells me " he sighed before sipping his coffee. I might be the reason but there maybe several other reasons too. I don't know anything about her family or anyone so I am not sure about anything. I drank my coffee immersed in my thoughts.
" I will crash here itself as my home is too far from here. And you? " He questioned me and my eyes widened after hearing him.
" Here means where? " I asked.
" Here means on the sofa. It's too cozy you know and tomorrow morning she needs me as I am sure she will have aftermath effects " he chuckled and took out the blanket from the cupboard in the corner.
" Sure. I will leave then " I was about to go when he stopped me.
" Wait bhayya. Raju will drop you at your home " saying so he dialed his number.
" It was not needed I could have booked a cab " I said looking at him to which he just waved off.
After bidding him bye I went to home with Raju and went into sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Nainika's POV:

Why someone is hitting on my head. And why it feels like I am not able to push it away. I am going mad with this ache.
Argh!! I shouted and sat up in my bed.
I came out of room to hear noise from the kitchen. I immediately ran in that direction and saw the back of the person.
" Who are you? " I shouted and held my head to stop the ache but it was of no use.
" Well good morning to you too " said Ranjith and I relaxed but my headache was increasing. He handed me a cup of hot coffee and I sipped on it slowly.
" Feeling better? " He asked and I just signed gulping the hot liquid. There was a knock on the door and I assumed Yashoda aunty is already here. I unlocked it and found her standing with a small smile. She came inside and started doing her work of cleaning.
" It's been a long time I had seen you. How are you aunty? " Ranjith asked her and she nodded with a smile indicating she is fine.
Later Ranjith took me a lecture about drinking too much and embarrassing him in front of Sunayn. I closed my eyes thinking of him. I don't know how would I face him after yesternight. I just closed my eyes and plopped on the sofa but Ranjith dragged me into the room asking me to freshen up as I was stinking of alcohol. I too felt disgusted with myself and went inside the bathroom. After getting ready I came out and saw breakfast on table. I thanked aunty and sat to have it.
" I will go take a bath. You wait here " he went into my room. His few pairs of clothes are here so he will manage with them I guess so. I started eating breakfast slowly and within no time he appeared and started having too.
" Today is Sunday so let's go out for shopping? " He said enthusiastically.
" But why? " I quirked my eyebrows and he shrugged.
" I don't have proper clothes to wear and I want to buy and isn't it girls always love shopping? " He rolled his eyes.
" Fine we will go. Don't make a face now "  I said and finished eating.
We went to shopping as he asked. We kept talking about his family and he was happily updating me regarding everything.
After two hours we finished shopping and went to a restaurant to have lunch. It was still afternoon so we went to home and settled on sofa to watch movies. We both selected a comedy horror movie and sat with a tub of popcorn.
' I want to meet you tomorrow ' a message pinged and it was from Sunayn. I didn't reply anything as I was too embarrassed to even reply him. I just ignored it and saw movie which was quite funny.
In the evening Ranjith had to leave as his home is far and to reach in time he should start now itself. So he bid bye and went away in cab.
I sat in sofa and called bhayya. We both talked for sometime. It was late evening. I prepared dinner and had it while watching TV.
Ranjith texted that he reached safely.
My phone vibrated again indicating there's a message but I don't want to see who it was.
' Are you ignoring me coz of yesternight? ' he asked and I just couldn't reply to anything so I just ignored even that and plopped on bed to sleep.
I have to deal with this person I thought and slept.

Finally another chapter too done. So let's see what Sunayn was thinking in next chapter....
Bye. Take care...
