Chapter twenty

" Eureka Eureka, I found him "

× ANANYA ×

I stole a glance of him and caught him already staring at me, both of us diverted our gaze. I regret saying those words to him. It was heat of the moment but he was not wrong. He had a different perspective on it, my perspective was pretty simple, if smoking gives me a little peace then I don't care if I die because of it. Atleast it gave me a moment of peace.

Specially, when there are some mixed emotions building inside me, a kind of fear but also anger on my own fate, many regrets and lots of frustration.

Within a month I got so attached to Amar Bhai that him leaving made me go crazy. I know that he has a life, but do I not deserve someone around me I can call a part of my family?

For four years, whenever someone asked me about my family, I would just stutter, I had no clue how to respond.

I do realise that I was the one who left, but they gave me a reason.

Like everytime, during my college times if someone mentions that they had to go home because their parents wouldn't allow late, I would wonder that there was no one behind to stop me. Everytime someone mentioned it was their parents birthday, I wondered how I can't even wish them. Worse, how they wouldn't want me to wish them.  Everytime someone mentioned that it was a family get together, I would go like, I don't even have a family.

Why was my life so fucked up?

In a month, I got very much attached to him again, I felt good, happy, as if I had someone I can call my own. And now he has to go back and I'm again back to the square. Who stays? No one?

Many times I question myself, will anyone ever stay?  The answer is almost the same always.

I wanted to cry so bad but I didn't even had anyone's shoulder at the moment.

I blinked rapidly, not wanting my tears to fall from my eyes and sipped the vodka from my glass down my throat. I lost the count of glasses I had drank.

No Anu, Not now atleast. Everyone is here, watching you. They will consider you weak, don't. Distract yourself.

I took a deep breath as I watched everyone dancing, enjoying as if these were the best moment of their lives. The strange thing was that Kirti already made a friend and was madly dancing with that guy. She is a party animal and no one can deny it. Partying is her easy way out of life.

Vivian was also in the partying zone but I noticed the number of times he had looked at Kirti and the guy, dancing together, and the look on his face at the moment was pure jealousy.

I sense some chemistry.

We already played games and everything till bhai was here and now everyone was busy with themselves. Abhinav, as he insisted me to use his firt name, and Aditi, his to be fiancee, were standing just beside me now. I didn't intend to but I heard him ask her.

" You are not uncomfortable, na? " She shook her head. She wasn't much of a talker. She spoke only when necessary. And not in a bad way, but she looked scared most of the time, no idea from whom. Everyone has their own history.

He looked at her for a second, it was understood by her expression that she was very uncomfortable here. I guess that even Abhinav understood that and then told.

" You know what, let's go somewhere else. This loud place is getting so boring now. It makes me uncomfortable "

Aren't they couple goals already?

" W-what will your friends think? " Abhinav just shook his head at this question and placed his hands on her shoulders, she flinched a little and getting the hint, he immediately removed his hands.

" Nothing. Don't worry about them.      You want to go home? " She thought for a second and shook her head.

" Okay then let's escape from here and go somewhere peaceful "

I don't want to be a third wheel but take me with you guys too.

" Pakka? " The worry was still present on her face.

[You sure?]

" Hanji, chaliye "  And with that they left without informing anyone.

[Yes, come]

The urge to cry increased as I cursed the one writing my story. When is romance going to enter in my life? When?

What is my trope? The girl who never found love?

Crying over my fate, I drank another glass of the drink.

I don't know how time passed but I wanted to dance like a ballerina now. Round and round and round. But what if I fall? I'll fall into someone's arms then. Lol.

I stepped while stumbling into the dance floor when Vivian insisted me to. We both sang the song playing the background while dancing wildly. While dancing my eyes searched for my god's angel. I didn't see him from long. I upset him today.

Sad Ananya. Sad Sahil.

When my eyes finally found his, he looked at me with a strange expression. His eyebrows narrowed while jaw clenched.

Smoking a cigarette makes him so mad then I'm smoking it everyday.  Because who cares. Haha.

" I want to drink that. Bring it for me  " I ordered Vivian like the Mafia Queen I am.

" You already are drunk, Ananya " I made an irritated expression while he laughed. " We are already drunk, Hahaha " and we shared a clap while giggling.

" Nooooo, I'm not a trunk. I'm a hooman. Lovely hoo-man " I gave him a proud reaction.

" Where is your lovely patner? " He asked and I raised my brows.

" Who? "

" Kirrrtiiiii? No no. Kriitiiiii. No kiirtiii? No Kritiii? " He is crazy.

" Shut up " I shouted loudly and so many eyes looked at me.

" Sorrrryyy " I shouted again.

Where is his brother? I want to see him. I want to apologise to him.

I ran, pushing so many people in my way, in search of Sa-hill but I couldn't find him. I called out his name hoping he would come but he didn't. Using my brain for the first time, and getting an idea for the very first time, I threw my heels in the corner and then tried to stand on a barstool kept at a distance. I can spot him now.

" Sahill "

" Sahilllllllll "

" Saaahhhiiilllllllllll, whose last name I forgot "

I shouted and so many people came and looked at me.

Is Everyone Sahil? Huh.

" Every person named Sahil, please come here. I want to make a committee of Sahils " I laughed at my own joke and then continued " No, Just Kidding. I want to find the Sahil I'm looking for so it will be easier "

" Ma'am, please get down " someone said me and I looked at them. I placed a finger on my chin and thought intensely. After I was done, I shook my head and smiled  " No "

" Sahilllll, where are youuuuu " I asked him but got no response so I pouted.

" Sahil, not found. Sahil, no. Sahil, nope. Sahil, can never be. Sahil, nah. Sahil, nayy. Sahil, can't find " I placed my finger on every guy and scanned his face but none of them was Sahil.

" Sahil? Y-Yesssssss yes yes. Eureka Eureka, I found him " I almost danced when I spotted him but then I remembered that I was standing on a stool so I just shouted.  He ran towards me like we see in the Bollywood movies.

" What are you doing there? " He asked.

" Good question. " What was I doing here?

I thought and thought until I processed. " Areyyyyy, I was searching for you. Stoopid human, how did you get lost? "

" Come down, Ananya. You are drunk " he ordered and I raised my index finger and moved it from left to right while shaking my head in the same manner.

" Ananya " he said with a softer voice this time.

" Haannnnnnnnn? "  I asked him with the same soft tone.

[Yessssssssssss]

" Niche aajana. Sab dekh rahe hai "

[Come down. Everyone is watching]

" Toh dekhne de. Etni Sundar dekh Rahi hu Aaj toh dekhege hi na "

[Let them. I'm looking so pretty today so they'll watch]

" Niche aarahi hai ki nahi tu? " He asked directly.

[Are you coming down or not?]

" Nahi. Kya kar loge? "

[No, what will you do?]

"

Sabko bata dunga ki Tera real naam chamatkar hai " he smirked.

[I'll tell everyone that you're real name is chamatkar]

Dusht, Papii Manav.

[Evil human]

" I'm comingg " I said and tried to jump directly on the ground but that evil human interrupted me again and due to that I fell, but into his arms, in bridal style.

Lalalala. Lalalala. Played continuously in my ears as I tried to maintain the eye contact without giggling. For a second, I didn't feel his hand on my bare leg until I felt my dress and then his hand.

That makes me go awwww.

" You are a troublemaker. Do you know that? " I nodded.

" How did you get drunk? " He asked.

" After drinking " I replied honestly.

" I'll talk to you when you get sober " he said and I smiled while showing him a thumbs up.

He was about to put me down but I stopped him " Don't put me down. I don't have my heels "

" Where are they? " He asked.

" Dunno " I shrugged. He turned around and I waved at the people looking at me. I didn't know they were looking too, they were behind me.

" There " I pointed towards my heels and he walked there. He bent a little and picked up the heels in his hands.

Finding a empty table kept at a corner, he walked there, with me in his arms, and gently made me sit on the table while throwing the heels down.

" We don't sit here. We sit on the chair. " I complained and he placed his finger on his lips making a 'Shush' sound.

He bent and picked one of the heels and made me wear it. I, being the obedient child, wore it. He did the same with the second one and adjusted the strap properly and asked me come down. I shook my head again.

" What happened now? "

" I don't want to wear them. " I complained.

" Why? "

" Because it hurts. The heels hurt my leg "

" Then why did you wear it? " He asked.

" Dunno "

" Now what are we supposed to do? "

" Dunno "

" Where is Kirti? "

" Dunno "

" Ananya " he said with a firm voice giving me a fake glare.

" Dunno "

" Chamatkar " he smirked after saying that.

" Don't call me that " I scoffed.

" Haha, you lost " he laughed.

" Kid "

" Thanks to you " He said and shrugged. He reached out for his phone which was kept in his pocket and dialed someone's number.

" Kirti, where have you been? " He asked.

" But you guys come along or I'll come there with him and you take her " he said and listened to something she said. " Why did you drink then? "

" Gosh. Okay. Fine. " He muttered grumpily while I looked at him with curiosity filled eyes.

" Looks like we are the only ones going home " he said to me as soon as his call ended.

" Okay but I'll not walk " I raised my hands.

" Alright. I'll have to pick you up again then? " He asked, guy looked tired I feel sorry.

" Yes "
