Chapter 44 A
Four days had passed, n Aryan n Arjun were happy about the fact that Neha hadn't touched alcohol these days. They felt that they were successful in helping her quit drinking, though they were surprised as they hadn't expected this to happen so soon. But all their happiness vanished as she was back home, completely drunk.

ESS office,
After the four long days of solving extremely tough cases, team was now busy with paperworks. During a break they were sharing jokes.
Manushi - Husband n wife are watching Discovery channel, a buffalo is shown on it. Husband tells his wife, Dekho, tumhari rishtedaar! Wife exclaims, Aiyaa!! Sasumaa!!
All laugh.
Abhinav - Husband tells his wife, Raja Dashrath ki teen raniya thi! Wife - to?? Husband - to mai abhi aur teen shadiya kar sakta hu! Wife - sochiye.. Drupadi ke panch pati the!! Husband - sorry darling.. mai to mazak kar raha tha!
Neha - moral, don't mess with girls n specially your wife!
Aryan - A student comes late to school, Principal says, what happened child? Why are you late to school? Student - What could I do Sir, my bike had stopped working. Principal - Couldn't you come in bus idiot? Student - I said that Sir, but I swear your daughter didn't listen!
Rehan - in the economics class, teacher questions, who will tell the difference between liability n asset with an example? A student gets up n answers, It's simple teacher, a drunk friend is a liability while a drunk girlfriend is an asset! Teacher shocked, student rocked!!
Neha - what nonsense! [Neha said angrily n she went to her cabin]
Manushi - Ise kya ho gaya??
Aryan - kuch nahi.. complete your paperworks.
Neha took her bag n left her cabin n went out.
After a drive of almost half an hour she reached "Dj da Adda", she went in. It was empty at that time. She splashed water on her face n composed herself. a drunk girlfriend is an asset', these words kept ringing in her mind. She went inside the bar counter n looked for a bottle of whiskey but there wasn't any. She picked up brandy n came out n sat on the couch drinking. Her past memories were haunting her again.
~flashback~
London,
Neha's Weekend Villa,
Neha sat at her study table, reading a book, when there was a knock on the door. She looked at the screen n saw Vivaan. She clicked the button on remote n the door opened. Vivaan walked inside n kept a gift in front of her.
Neha - Hello Vi! How are you?
Vivaan - I'm fine darling.. n you?
Neha - Superb.. aur ye kya he Vi? Maine tumhe pehle bhi kaha he.. roz roz mere liye ye gifts mat laya karo..
Vivaan - Kyu? Tumhe mere laye huye gifts pasand nahi aate kya?
Neha - Aisi baat nahi he.. but tum kuch jyada hi paise kharch karte ho mere liye.. aur ye mujhe nahi pasand.. I don't mind if you gift me something on special occasions but you bring a new gift everyday! I think that is wastage of your parent's hard earned money!
Vivaan - [hugged her] Oh you are such a sweetheart darling! But you think a little too much about others.. Whenever I meet you it is a special occasion for me n so I bring a gift for you.. Come on now.. open the gift n tell me how's it!
Neha - ok.. fine! [she opens the box n finds a dress inside, a short top n a micro mini skirt]
Vivaan - Kaisa laga?
Neha - ye mere liye he??
Vivaan - yes of course!
Neha - [dropped it like a hot brick] There's no way I'm wearing this!
Vivaan - why? didn't like it? Just try it once, you'd look fab!
Neha - No.. It's so short.. I ain't wearing it! You know what, even my Arni's skirt is longer than this one! n you know quite well, I don't wear such short clothes!
Vivaan - Neha.. sweetheart tumhe pata he ki ye dress me tumhare liye kitne pyar se laya hu.. kitni mehnat karni padi mujhe ye dress choose karne me! You've no idea about it!
Neha - oh really?? maine to nahi kaha tha ye sab karne ke liye!
Vivaan - kya baat he darling? naraz ho mujhse?? [he held her waist n pulled her closer, n grazed his fingers over her face] batao na.. kya hua he?
Neha - [calmed her loud thudding heart] k..kuch nahi.. Vi..
Vivaan - ok then.. get ready quickly, wearing this dress, we're going to club!
Neha - I'll come to club but not wearing this..
Vivaan - do you trust me?
Neha - yes.. but..
Vivaan - but?? no my dear.. there's no place of buts n ifs if you really trust me! you know what.. sometimes I feel that it's only me who loves you n wants to give my everything to this relation, you don't care for anything.. you don't even take care of my likes n dislikes.. tell me do you really love me or this is just a sort of drama? I feel that there is nothing from your side in this relation!
Neha - Vivaan.. [hugged him] I love you.. I really love you.. n I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to hurt you.. sorry!
Vivaan - It's fine.. come on now.. we're getting late for the party!
Neha - just give me 15 minutes!
15 minutes later she came out, dressed in a red coloured netted top, n black micro skirt, red n black stilettoes, n her hair left open.
Vivaan - superb! you're looking gorgeus!! tie your hair, they'd look more beautiful!
Neha had purposedly kept her hair open, the top was backless n her hair covered it.
Neha - no.. I like my hair to be kept open.. come on now..we're getting late dear!
Vivaan - Neha, darling what I was saying is you see we're going to club, n we'd be dancing there, so if you keep your hair open they might get spoilt, I know how much you love your hair.. so I think it's better to tie them!
Neha didn't reply n silently sat in the car. After few minutes they were at the club. After partying hard for almost 2 hours Neha was feeling dizzy.
Neha - Vi.. let's go back..I'm feeling sleepy!
Vivaan - Let's have one last drink n then go!
Neha - I already had 2.. now I don't want any!
Vivaan - 2 pegs do nothing darling! come..let's have one more!
Neha - ok.. but bring a small one for me!
Vivaan - sure! [he went n brought 2 glasses of whiskey, they finished the drinks n settled in the car, Vivaan started driving]
Neha - Vivaan.. where are we going? My house is in the opposite direction of this road!
Vivaan - a long drive darling.. just sit n enjoy!
later they stopped at an apartment.
Vivaan - come in darling!
Neha - this is not my house.. I said I wanna go home.. my home! do you understand?
Vivaan - just for a change..this is my house! Come in!
Neha - vi.. I'm feeling sleepy.. I want to go home.. please take me there!
Vivaan - I will take you to our home sweetheart!
He cupped her in his arms, she was feeling difficult to keep her eyes open, she closed them. She opened her eyes when she felt that he had placed her down. She looked around, it was a cozy bedroom, she lay on his bed. Vivaan was opening the buttons of his shirt. She stood up quickly, al her dizziness vanished in a moment.
Neha - what the hell are you doing?
Vivaan - relax darling..I haven't done anything yet! I was just preparing myself! By the way, will you undress yourself or shall I do the honour?
Neha - Vivaan!! Be in your limits.. don't dare to cross them!
Vivaan - oh..you scared me girl! haha!! I love this attitude of yours..but don't spoil my mood right now! Do one thing, drink water n relax yourself! [he gave her a glass of water, she drank a little of it]
Neha - what's wrong with this water? It tastes so different!
Vivaan - water is fine, it's just due to whiskey that you feel it's taste different!
She finished drinking water n held her head, closed her eyes. Next moment he started undressing her, n soon she stood before him, without a single cloth on her body.
Vivaan - do you know you're so beautiful!!
She heard his words but could not react. Next, he pushed her on bed n was on top of her. His hard body crashed against her soft one. She lay there unconscious, while he kept playing his dirty game.
~flashback~
After some time, Maulik came n sat beside her. He saw two empty bottles of brandy beside her n one in her hand. He took the bottle from her hand n put it on table. She came back to reality.
Maulik - hey DQ..ye kya kar rahi ho?? Brandy hai ye.. pani nahi jo iss tarah pee rahi ho!
Neha - Mauli.. kab aaye tum?
Maulik - abhi.. tumhe kya hua he? you seem really upset!
Neha took a tissue paper, crumpled it tightly, drenched it with alcohol n then threw it.
Maulik - DQ!! what's wrong with you??
Neha - that tissue paper.. I feel the same way it does.. used n thrown away like trash!
Maulik - DQ.. kya hua he tumhe? aisi baate kyu kar rahi ho?? lagta he chadh gayi he.. chalo main tumhe tumhare ghar drop kar deta hu!
Neha - nahi.. mujhe abhi ghar nahi jana! ek baat batao Mauli.. agar tumhare saamne koi ladki hai.. jo apne hosh me nahi he.. like.. she's drunk.. to tum kya karoge?
Maulik - tumhari tabiyat to thik he DQ?? ye kaisa sawal he? lagta he tumhe jyada chadh gayi he..
Neha - mere sawal ka jawab do Maulik! batao ki tum kya karoge?
Maulik - main uss ladki se uske ghar ka address puchunga aur use uske ghar tak pahucha dunga.. ab batao ye sawal kyu??
Neha - tum koi advantage nahi loge?? I mean agar wo ladki bahot hi hot n s*xy huyi to bhi nahi?
Maulik - Main koi bhi kaam na to zabardasti karta hu na hi karwata hu.. ab ye batao ki baat kya he?? Tum achanak ye sab kyu puch rahi ho?
Neha - to phir usne mere saath aisa kyu kiya?? [she said in a trance]
Maulik - DQ.. mujhe kuch bhi samajh nahi aa raha.. tum kya keh rahi ho.. kiski baat kar rahi ho.. kyu bol rahi ho kuch samajh nahi aa raha!
Neha - tum samjhoge bhi nahi.. [she picked the bottle of brandy again but Maulik stopped her]
Maulik - enough DQ.. tum pehle hi bahot jyada drink kar chuki ho.. ab aur nahi..
Neha - tum bhi mujhe mere bhai ki tarah lecture mat do.. pehle apne aap ko dekho.. suna he aaj kal jyada smoke karne lage ho.. kyu? Girlfriend ne ditch kar diya kya??
Maulik - nahi aur tumhe ya kisne kaha ki main jyada smoke karta hu? Kya tumhe nahi pata ki maine smoking karna kabka chhod diya he!
Neha - Neha lagta he ki tujhe sachme chadh gayi he!

Neha - log puchhte he ki wo koun he jo teri ye haalat kar gaya, main muskurakar kehti hu.. uska naam har kisi ki zaban par accha nahi lagta!
Maulik - Are meri Sania Mirza!! kuch samajh aaye aisa nahi bol sakti kya??
Neha - Sania Mirza nahi Mirza Galib he!
Maulik - Sania ho ya Galib kya farq padta he? tu Mirza se matlab rakh na..
Neha - oh hell!! MD.. tumse to baat karna hi bekar he!
Maulik - thik he.. to mat baat karo! [he gets up n goes to the music corner n starts playing music loudly, n sits on the swing, enjoying songs]
Neha takes her cell n calls Karan, but due to loud music she can't talk with him.
Neha - MD.. volume!! [he increases the volume] abe kam kar gadhe.. badhana nahi he!
Maulik - tum final kar lo..
Neha - volume kam karo!

Neha - mujhe der ho rahi he main baadme aaungi.. chalo Karan.
Karan - ruko Neha.. kab tak aise bhagti rahogi? apni aankhe band kar lene se sacchayi badal nahi jati aur na hi wo chup sakti he.. jitni jaldi tum iss baat ko accept karogi utna hi accha hoga.. tumhare liye bhi aur hum sab ke liye bhi!
Neha - Karan please.. mujhe ye lecture sunne me koi interest nahi he!
Karan - lecture nahi de raha main.. bas itna chahta hu ki tum sacchayi ka saamna karo!
Neha - The vulnerability that honesty requires isn't something that everybody can handle. Lying allows people to be comfortable. [She picked another bottle of brandy from the table n sprinted outside, Karan followed her quickly]
Daljeet - ye sab kya tha??
Maulik - pata nahi.. lekin ek baat zarur hai.. koi aisi baat he jo hume nahi pata.. aur wo jo bhi he hume pata karna padega!
Simran - haan.. tum sahi keh rahe ho.. Neha ko pehle aisa karte huye kabhi nahi dekha!
Anjali - aur wo aaj kal bahot jyada drink karti he.. that's not good!
