Chapter One
‘The more you try to come out, the more entangled you get’.
Alisha Rai, the twenty two year old brunette, hacked bank accounts of the people to survive; hacking was a piece of cake for Alisha until she hacks Reyansh Malhotra’s account, the prime of Elite.
DJ wale babu mera gaana chala do
DJ wale babu mera gaana chala do
DJ wale babu mera gaana chala do
Gaana chala do...
Gaana chala do...
DJ wale mera gaana tu chala de
Thodi volume unchi kar de
Thoda bass tu badha de..
She murmured the lyrics along with the tune as her hips swayed, the familiar drink burning her throat again. “Wow”... “Oomph that was hot”...“AAahaa” The crowd erupted whistling and cheering her as she danced on the table managing her stilettos. She felt paparazzi was around her as all the eyes were on her, the flashes of light recording her. “Woohoo...” the crowd never stopped and nor did her swaying. She was an amazing dancer who had managed to capture all the drunk men’s attention.
Ruhi made a disgusting face as she heard the whistles of crowd.
“That woman dancing in the middle is drunk like hell” Vihaan said as they took sip.
“Might be some crazy” Ruhi muttered concentrating on his handsome face.
“He was st-pid ass**le fcking son of a bitch to leave me...” the woman yelled soon, her voice hoarse.
Froze was the right word to describe Ruhi, because even in the loud music she was able to recognize the voice of her. Shit! She turned her face in the direction the crowd was following, her eyes wide open and cursed herself for not becoming aware of her surroundings. “Damn you bitch”. “Look, I have to go” she said, collecting her belongings. “Where are you going, suddenly?” Vihaan asked. God damn Alisha, what in hell are you thinking? She thought as she caught people recording her best friend’s moves.
None of your business Vihaan, shut up Ruhi, don’t be rude. “I gotta go, I remembered some urgent work, have a good evening Vihaan” she said again as she made her way towards the music system. “Ruhi wait, your car..” Vihaan said as he looked at her disappearing figure.
“Can you stop the music for two minutes?” she asked the tattooed guy. The guy removed his headphones as he slid down the button. Thank you. Just two minutes.
“Hey man, turn on the music” the persons among the crowd shouted. She swore again under her breath, “The show is over, go back to your damn fucking life” she yelled.
With excuse me and pushing people, she finally was near the table. She wanted to kill Arpit her best friend’s ex for hurting Alisha but right now she wanted to murder Alisha. “Alisha, let’s go home” she said. “No-ooo, I wan-t to go moon” Alisha stuttered again. “Alisha, climb your ass down” Ruhi said.
“Mo-re” she said clinking her empty wine bottle.
Fuck! It’s okay, you got this, she repeated the words in her mind again.
“If you come down, I can give you another bottle of old monk” Ruhi said, her fingers crossed. Please Alisha, come down. She squeaked in excitement when Alisha climbed down on the floor, her tight dress and stilettos weren’t making it easy. Ruhi took hold of Alisha’s arm to prevent her from tripping.
The loud music started ringing in her ears again. “This way Alisha, you want old monk, right” she said as she dragged her towards the exit.
“I-wa-to danchh...fav-orit-e soonhg”
“Yeah I know. We will get your favourite drink and then come back. Okay” she said. Ruhi heaved a sigh of relief, managing drunk Alisha was not that worse, she wondered. Finally. A satisfied smile curved on Ruhi’s lips as she and Alisha reached on the car. She opened her purse to remove the keys. A wave of shock passed her face as she didn’t find the keys. Shit. ”Alisha, can you stand straight for just one minute?” She put her bag on the car and rummaged through her purse pockets, shit, how can I be so careless? Think Ruhi! Ruhi swore under her breath as she remembered she had forgotten her keys on the bar table while talking to Vihaan. God damn it!
“Alisha, look, I have forgotten my car keys inside. I will go inside, bring my keys and we will go then, okay?” She said to Alisha, “Please don’t go anywhere. Okay?” She knew leaving drunk Alisha alone was not any good but without the car keys, it wasn’t possible for them to reach home.
UGG! I will be very quick. Glancing at Alisha, she hurried her legs as she entered inside the hall. God, let the keys be there or else I’m in trouble, she said to herself.
****
“WHAT THE FUCK!” He roared as he applied emergency brakes. He stepped out of his black Sedan, “Hey, get up!” he said as he kneeled in front of the girl besides him. Alisha blinked several times but her blurred vision was not helping. She would have died if the car didn’t stop. “Fuck my turtles, can’t you see and drive” she shouted surprising herself with the new confidence.
He was taken aback. This girl could have died next minute and instead of thanking him, she was blaming him. He stood up and yelled at her “Are you nuts? Like who the hell walks in the middle of road?”
Alisha’s brain had stopped, the world around her was shaking, she took support of the car to stand, but her body had given up.
It didn’t took long for Reyansh to find out that explaining the drunk girl in front of him was of no use. He massaged his forehead, dealing with girls was never easy. “NOW MOVE OUT YOUR FUCKING ASS FROM MY CAR AND GO HOME.”
Alisha focused her vision as some part of her brain realized some asshole was fighting with her. She was not in a mood to argue, so she unwillingly started walking.
Reyansh scowled as he saw the figure continuously stumbling. Why did she drink so much, if she can’t handle liquor? Fuck this, he swore under his breath. He hurried and caught her waist before she made contact with the ground again. He knew, he can’t leave her here alone, any man could take advantage of her.
“Get in the car” he stated as he opened the car door and pushed her inside. He closed the car door after putting the seat belt on her. Reyansh put his hand through his hair, his old habit when he is frustrated as he sat inside the car.
“Where do you live?” he asked.
“I- can not tell you” Alisha said.
“If you don’t say, how will I drop you?” he said.
He calmed himself as he saw her fidgeting with her fingers. “Just tell me”
“NOOO. Ruhi whe-re is Ruhi?”
Reyansh scowled, he had to take this trouble at his home.
