Sharon also knew what Kriya would do. Act like a couple to get in and then go their own ways. But this was Sharon she was dealing with. She had more plans in her mind that Kriya wouldn't be able to escape from. At least not today. She was fully prepared to take her sister's guard down slowly by slowly. And her sweet boyfriend Swayam was all in to helping her. It was only a matter of time till Neha and Vicky would join them in helping as well.
***
They made their way to the couch by the corner and watched others dance to the latest songs and get drunk a little. They looked at each other and finally, Sharon complained, "Come one guys. We didn't come to just sit here. It's a club and it's Valentine's Day! Get in party mood for God's sake!"
She pulled Swayam up and asked Rey and Kriya when they didn't get up, "You both aren't coming?"
Kriya replied, "I'll come in a while."
"Okay." Saying so, they left with their partners.
***
Even Rey moved and sat on the high chair by the bar. He wasn't drinking. Yet. He looked at Kriya from a distance as she played around in her phone, looked at the far end of the club where their friends were enjoying and then looked around at the random people.
He watched as a group of troublemakers made their way towards her. His sixth sense made him aware. He was up on his feet in no time but then the next thing he saw stopped him. The person asked for a dance in a cheap manner.
Kriya got up and was fuming in anger. But she kept her calm and took a couple of steps to come close to them. For a second, he thought that she would agree. But then sighed seeing the rest. He couldn't see what she was saying but whatever she said made the guys mad.
Nevertheless, she glared right into their eyes and just that expression made an emotion brew up inside of them. It was fear. They back up and he sat back down on the chair shaking his head for thinking that she wouldn't be able to handle them on her own. As always, she had proved him wrong.
Next thing, she was walking towards the bar. She hadn't seen him also there just yet, but he had seen her coming that way. She ordered refreshment, non-alcoholic, and sat on the chair.
Rey said with a hidden smirk, "What could you have possibly said?"
She heard the familiar voice and said with a low voice, "Rey." She then turned her head to look at him and replied, "Just something. Shouldn't matter to you, right?"
Rey went in shock. The words were simple, yet deep. Only he would know the meaning of it. The way she said it, he knew. She picked up her drink and left, leaving him mad, in despair, hurt. Over all, hard to say.
But he had had enough for the night. He ordered a shot of tequila and drank it up without second thought. He did that 4 more times in less than a minute. The bartender didn't want to give him another one seeing the way he was gulping it down, but it was his duty to give whatever was ordered. So with a heavy heart, he gave him one more shot and looked around for someone who could have possibly came with him.
But that would be impossible to find someone from this huge crowd in the club.

Sharon smiled seeing Kriya come towards them. As she reached them, she held her hand and pulled her in the circle. They all started enjoying themselves. Kriya let down her guard for the rest of the night. Little did they know about Rey'

Two hours later'.
As they got tired and their feet's started to ache with pain, they made their way back to the couch. Neha laid her head on Vicky shoulder and relaxed herself. Sharon just laid her head back and Swayam asked, "Where's Rey."
Everyone sat straight, suddenly realizing that they hadn't seen him since they went to the dance floor! They got worried and looked around. Sharon saw him by the bar and replied, "There." She pointed towards him and Swayam left to get him. They were thinking of going home.
***
Swayam pulled the glass away from him and scolded, "Rey! What do you think you are doing?"
The bartender said, "I've been trying to stop him. But after he had a talk with someone, he's been drinking. Had 10 till now."
Swayam's eyes popped out. "Ten!!!!" He looked back at Rey. "You're so dead!" he gave a stern look but Rey looked back cutely in drunk state.
Swayam melted. How can someone be mad at him after such a cute face! He thought but wondered who that person could be. He asked, "Did you see this girl? How does she look like?"
The bartender looked around and pointed to a corner. "There she is." Swayam followed the finger and ended up at Kriya. "Kriya?" he asked surprised.
The man nodded. "If that's her name. You seem surprised?"
"Yea!" Swayam let out a scoff. Clearly, the bartender didn't want to intrude in their personal thing and thus he got back to his job. He need not worry more about Rey. Swayam took out his cell and texted Sharon.
'Rey's drunk.' Sharon received a surprise as well. She immediately texted back with, "What? I'm coming."
She rushed towards them and asked others to go out and wait by the car.
Rey was asking for another shot. Swayam replied trying to be as nice as possible, "No Rey! You've already had ten! No more now."
"But'" Rey started but Swayam's glare cut him off. He started making patterns on the table and hummed as Swayam ran his hand across his hair in frustration.
"He's going to regret this tomorrow. I just know it!" he said to Sharon as she got there.
She looked at Rey and shook her head in disappointment. "He is'" then another question formed in her mind. She asked, "Why? I don't get it. He only drinks when he's sad or upset'"
"I know. I'm not sure but it happened after he talked to Kriya. Anyways, for now, we need to keep him away from Kriya. Or else things will get bad."
Sharon thought otherwise. "Or'" she said stretching the word and continuing, "It could be other way around." Swayam gave a confused look not understanding her.
"I mean, think about it. Their problem could be solved. Rey wouldn't hold back whatever he's holding back because he's drunk!"
Swayam understood the picture in her head perfectly now. He hugged her. "You're a genius!"
Sharon grinned and replied to the quick hug by a blush. They looked back at Rey who was murmuring sweet nothings to himself.
They had to get him in the car and make sure no one figured out he was drunk. Swayam had a hard time as they walked out. Sharon couldn't be of much help and Rey was heavy as he is. And he was creating more problems for them by singing horribly in the parking lot where it was dead silent.
Sharon said, "See, this is why you should think of making some muscles."
Swayam stopped in his tracks and felt insulted. He mocked back, "So now it's my problem? Last thing I checked, you liked how I was different."
Uh-oh! She thought. She didn't mean it that way. She fumbled and replied, "Well, I know. I still like that. But you see, in situations like these, I think otherwise."
Swayam rolled his eyes faking anger and continued walking. Sharon cursed herself for making him angry on this special day.
***
As they reached the car, they were glad to see that the rest hadn't reached there yet. They made Rey sit in the front and moved his head in a way where it looked like he was sleeping.
Just then, they come there and Sharon asked, "What took you guys so long?"
Neha replied, "I had to go to restroom."
Vicky continued, "Right. And you know how girls are. They have to go together. So'"
All three girls gave him a glare. He shut up realizing that he had just insulted their 'women' rules.
They all sat in the back and no one looked up front as they were all tired.
First, they dropped Vicky and Neha at their individual places and they all went to Kriya's place. Decided to spend the night there itself as Swayam wasn't interested in driving all the way up to Sharon's house. Also, they had to make sure their plan worked.
Swayam said, "You all go. We'll be right in."
Sharon took Kriya in before she was question anything. Once inside, she said, "Uh, I'll go change. My bag's in the other room so good night. I might just go to bed then."
Kriya nodded and walked up the stairs to her room.
