'An Hour Past Midnight: Part One'
'What the hell are you doing Khushi?!!' He could see she was about to fall... although he couldn't tell where from... 'Ghir jaaogi!' His heart was in his mouth and he could hear it thud loudly in his ears as she took a step away from him, to the edge of... wherever it was. 'Toh?!! Aap ko iss se kya matlab? Humari zindagi hai, hum jo chahe kar sakte hai! Aap hote kaun hai?!' Khushi glared back at him in a way that made him want shake her and kiss her all at the same time. He blinked and tried to focus, this wasn't the time... There was an odd ringing sound in his ears which he tried to ignore as he looked at her, 'Khushi, don't be so stupid! Mera haath lo.' He kept his voice steady somehow and held out his hand. Only to have her narrow her eyes at it and step away into the nothingness...
'Khushi!!' Arnav sat up in bed in a cold sweat, her name still ringing in his ears. This had to stop, he'd had the same dream every night this week and each time it felt more vivid; this time he could still hear the weird ringing... He shook his head to clear it and realised fuzzily that it was real ringing and it was his phone. 'Whut..?' He blinked and tried to clear his head as he answered and looked at the clock; who the hell was calling him after midnight?! 'Hello... ASR? Umm main Kim bol rahi hoon... woh La ki friend?' Arnav bit back the rude words on the tip of his tongue, this girl talked slower than a snail! 'Toh? It's late, get to the point!' He waited, getting more annoyed as she explained how they were at a party and Lavanya was drunk and in no state to drive. 'You're her fiancee naa? So I thought you could pick her up...'
The word 'fiancee' felt like sandpaper on his already raw nerves and he was about to tell the girl to leave Lavanya where she was till she slept it off but then she said something which made him freeze, 'Uss ki dost bhi uss ke saath hai, actually I think La was her ride home... aur taxi bhi nahi mil rahi...' She went on and on in her monotonous voice but he tuned her out as he wondered for a few seconds before cutting her off, 'Dost? Kaun si dost?' He waited impatiently till she mentioned La had brought some 'dukhi si girl' she'd never seen before who'd spent all night looking uncomfortable and out of place. A second later he was out of bed and grabbing his car keys as he looked for his shoes, 'Address?!'
***
Where was this Kim girl?! Khushi felt her stomach knot up anxiously as she put her arm around Lavanya's shoulders; she'd said she was going to call a taxi and hadn't come back. They were sitting on a bench outside the huge house where they'd come, all the other guests gone; Khushi still couldn't believe she'd been talked into coming here with Lavanya but she'd come to her house to pick her up when she'd refused over the phone. She wriggled in her seat, feeling a little uncomfortable in the saree Lavanya had bought her; it was a beautiful night and wasn't even that cold but her shoulders were bare and she couldn't help shivering when she felt a breeze lift her hair off them.
'Chamkiliii!!! Did I tell you? You're looking soo good today, dekha, maine kaha tha naa?!' Khushi smiled a little at Lavanya's drunk nonsense; she was sweet but Khushi was worried about more pressing matters, 'Lavanyaji, hum ghar kese pohnchenge? Aur aap ki dost bhi kahi chali gayi...' She bit her lip as Lavanya shrugged and put her head on her shoulder happily... and promptly fell asleep! 'Lavanyaji?!' She'd thought coming to sit in the night air would help clear Lavanya's head but it obviously hadn't worked.
Khushi sighed and closed her eyes, 'maybe I should call him...?' Her eyes flew open and she shook her head at the traitorous voice in her head, 'Nahi hum uss Laad Governor ko kyu phone kare?!' Her stomach twisted even more and she felt an ache in her chest as she thought of his reaction to her calling him at this hour; he hated her enough already and she couldn't bear to see the look on his face as he reminded her he never wanted to see her face for the millionth time. No, it was better she waited for this Kim person even if it took all night...
She was wearing black. He'd never seen her in anything other than bright colours and sparkles but there she was, sitting on a bench wearing a simple black saree that made her skin glow a pale milky white in the moonlight; she looked ethereal like something out of a dream... unreal. Except he knew she was real and he knew what that skin felt like under his fingertips... Arnav swallowed and tried to focus on something else; Lavanya. She was asleep with her head in Khushi's lap and Khushi was stroking her hair absently. Suddenly her hand froze and he knew she felt him watching her even before she looked up.
Neither of them said a word for what seemed like a lifetime; Khushi stared at him first in shock and then in apprehension and Arnav felt a now very familiar guilt in the pit of his stomach; she expected him to bite her head off and he supposed he couldn't blame her after the way he'd been acting lately. 'Aap... aap yahaan kaise...?' Her voice trembled ever so slightly and then faded off as she looked away while he carried on staring, unable to help himself.
'Khushi...' he started softly and she looked up in surprise at his tone but he didn't know how to make things ok; he didn't even know where to start so he decided to concentrate on why he'd come here. 'Woh Lavanya ki kissi dost ka phone aaya tha,' he said more matter-of-factly as he walked up to her. He tried not to notice the way the breeze was playing with her hair, it was stupid to feel jealous of air after all... He looked down at Lavanya sleeping peacefully and shook his head muttering 'unbelievable' under his breath; he couldn't believe she'd put him in this situation and now was dead to the world.
He reached down to take her off Khushi's lap and then looked up, feeling an unwanted stab of pain as she shrank away from him, moving Lavanya too. 'Tum utaogi isse?!' He raised an eyebrow and spoke more harshly than he'd wanted and Khushi frowned at him for a second before lifting Lavanya's head off her lap a little so that he could take her. He reached out again and tried to ignore the way her hand felt against his as he took Lavanya but his eyes met hers and he knew she'd felt the jolt too. They were both frozen till Lavanya stirred and he made his feet move away from Khushi as he walked to the car with Lavanya.
