"Alia! You don't know how sexy you look today" Arnav said and cuddled her to himself, while she pretended to blush.
Khushi quickly excused herself and left them alone, going back to the party. Arnav and Alia also joined the party after few minutes. Another wave of dance passed over, and everyone enjoyed to the max.
*
At about 1 a.m., the party started to coming to an end, as many attenders started to leave. Alia compelled Arnav to drop her home alone, without taking Khushi, as she wanted to be with him alone. She had drank too much and was almost falling here and there due to intoxication. Arnav was holding her by her waist, being in his full senses as he didn't even take a sip of alcohol after Khushi washed his face.
"That doesn't matter Arnav. I'll take a taxi home" Khushi told him, not wanting to trouble him a bit.
"That's not at all safe Khushi. Its midnight! You come with us" Arnav said, again feeling confused between the two girls.
"No Arnav. If Alia doesn't want it..."
"You can sit on the back seat yaar. I'm sure she won't mind"
"Are you sure? Why did Aakash and Payal left so early! I would've told them to drop me" Khushi helplessly said.
"Just wait a minute here. I'll get the car from the parking area" Arnav said and dragged Alia along with him.
*
"Should I drop you home baby?" Khushi felt a hand on her shoulder and instantly turned around only to find a random guy.
"Excuse me! Thanks for your offer but my best friend can do that" Khushi said, trying hard not to panic.
The guy was fully intoxicated due to the alcohol and he put a hand on Khushi's waist dragging her close. Khushi lost her balance because of the sudden force and her hands landed on his shoulders for support. She tried to push him off her, but he was much stronger than she was. Khushi had by now started to panic, and struggled to get off. She just hoped Arnav to arrive with the car soon.
*
"Alia baby! Why are you being so stubborn?" Arnav asked, when she denied that Khushi should come with them.
"But where will she go if she'll not come with us?" he tried to be as soft as possible, because a person under the influence of alcohol is likely to enter into an argument - which he never wanted.
"She'll take a taxi" Alia said and pouted.
"Its midnight, baby. And its not safe"
"Whatever!" Alia muttered and rolled her eyes.
They sat in the car, and drove towards the entrance where Khushi was standing.
As Arnav reached there in the car, the scene shocked him. Khushi's hand clutching a guy's shoulder and his hand on her waist, and Khushi trying her best to get rid of him. He immediately got off the car and called out for Khushi.
Khushi looked at her side where Arnav stood, and again struggled to let go of his hold. Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she was not able to rescue herself from a guy, whom she didn't even knew.
"I SAID LEAVE ME!" Khushi screamed and pushed him with all her strength. He at once left her and backed off, when Arnav caught hold of his collar and gave a tight punch on his nose, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER AGAIN!" he yelled at him and pushed him to the ground, and left him groaning in pain.
Arnav turned towards her, "You okay?" and she just nodded in response. Her heart-beat had gone insane! She quickly wiped her tears and got into the car.
Alia was seated in the passenger seat and shifted slightly to look at Khushi entering the car from the back door.
"Who was that guy?" Alia asked her.
"I don't know. He was drunk" she replied in a low voice.
"Oh!" Alia exclaimed, and saw Arnav getting into the car. "I thought he was your new boyfriend" she said and giggled.
Khushi ignored her. She was already too tensed and she didn't wanted to upset Arnav by replying harshly to Alia.
As they reached Alia's house, and Arnav got down from the car, and walked towards Alia's side to get her out of the car. He carried Alia out of the car and walked towards the house door while carrying her. She had drank too much to be able to walk. Arnav carried her to the door, and made Alia stand.
"Arnav, come inside baby. There's no one at home" Alia said, and opened the door.
Arnav stepped inside with Alia, examining her huge house, too huge for just three members to live in - Alia and her parents.
"Arnav, lets go to my room. We'll have fun together" she winked at him and chuckled.
Arnav was already too disturbed because of that guy, and Alia's drunk state was only adding to his disturbance. He took her to her room and made lay down on the bed. As he was about to leave, Alia held him by his arm and pulled him towards her.
*
Khushi was still in the car, shivering. She was scared, partly because of the harsh weather outside, heavy rain and lightning, and partly because that peculiar smell of alcohol had stuck her nose. She once again looked at the door of Alia's house, hoping Arnav to come back soon.
*
Arnav landed on top of Alia, and she lifted herself to kiss him. He held her arm, which had gone up to clutch his shoulder. He didn't wanted to do anything, that would land him or Alia in trouble. He got up from the bed, and moved towards the door.
"Arnav!" Alia called out for him in a seductive voice.
"Alia you are not in your senses right now. We'll meet at the college tomorrow"
"Arnav. Please stay here with me baby."
"No Alia. Khushi is waiting in the car. She is already very scared because of that drunk guy, and I need to take her home. I said na we'll meet at the college tomorrow" he said and walked out of the house.
Alia pouted and cursed Khushi for pulling Arnav towards her. She didn't even mind if people call her mean, but what she wants, she will get it at any cost. Though she was too drunk at this time, yet her mind was busy contriving plans against Khushi. To break away Khushi from Arnav.
*
Khushi breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Arnav coming out of the house. She didn't care to even move to the front seat; she just wanted to reach home - as soon as possible.
Arnav seated on the driver seat and started driving. The journey was completely silent. Arnav stared at Khushi a few times from the rear-view mirror, but didn't speak anything. He knew she was scared.
They reached home and Khushi immediately went to her room. Arnav too freshened up in his room and went to sleep.
The party went all good, if we do not consider what all happened after the party.
But now.. Was Khushi jealous of Alia or was Alia jealous of Khushi? Only Arnav could decide this!
