Chapter 10
Purple Rush. 10.00 pm.
The ETF reached early in the pub and took their position. Shree joined the DJ in his cubicle, he also set up his little gear set their to coordinate between others. Sam & Arjun settled in to opposite corner of the pub, covering the whole area into their visionary range. Chotu was enjoying with some guys, keeping an eye on the entrance and straight on Liza who was near the dance floor with kabir.
Saakshi and Sonali was sitting beside the drinks counter and discussing random topics and giggling. While Varun Showed up. He stood just behind Saakshi and greeted her.
Varun : Hey beautiful!
Saakshi : (turned and almost bumped onto him) Oh NO! Not Again!(annoyance as visible on her face).
Varun : what are you doing here?
Saakshi : Facial karwane aayi hoon, aapki manicure ho gaya?
Varun : (smiled sheepishly) sorry, my bad! Just didn't saw you here before so..
Saakshi : Whatever...(To Sonali) Chal..yahan kuch jyada hi crowd hain.
But Varun stopped them.
Varun : Plz, don't go...Ms. Anand...I'm sorry, but I don't think I've did anything to make you hate me!
Saakshi : Who said I hate you? I'm just not interested to you..that's it! Now excuse us.
She moved to another corner with Sonali. Varun sighed and sat on a stool. He ordered for a drink, thinking for his next step. When he found someone familiar sitting right beside him. It's a lady in shiny golden short skirt and purple-blue top and of course, he knows her.
Lady : Pehli baar VM ki shikaar haath se nikal gaya!
Varun : Nadia! Tum..or yahan?
Nadia : (ordered for a drink) haan..aaj mera show hain yahan...

Nadia : Aur woh tumhari liye mushkil nahi hain...anyways, I've to go. See you on the dance floor...with your new ..you know! (she blinked and moved away)
*****************************
On the other hand, All listened to the conversation between Saakshi- Varun and Varun-Nadia through microphones. All were fuming in anger. Chotu was about to go to thrash Varun, but Rathod stopped him in communicator.
Rathod : Chotu, don't leave your position...usk jo karna hain woh baad main karenge...
Chotu : Sir, but..
Rathod : Stick to the plan. Aur Rawte, tum vi...kuch ulta seedha karke plan matt bigaro.
Aisha : I'm going on the floor...
Rathod : Ok. Kabir, watch Varun...& Saakshi, be careful, he's coming to you.
Saakshi & Kabir : Ok.
*****************************
Saakshi & Sonali as again engrossed into their talks, while Kabir & liza joined them.
Kabir : Hi ladies! Enjoying?
Saakshi : not at all...yeh music thora thanda nahi hain?
Liza : Main jaake speky ko..
Kabir : thori der aura wait karlo...aag laagne wali hain. & Ms. Sonali, aapko mera saath dena hoga...
Sonali : Of course, Saakshi ke liye kuch vi...
Hr Liza got a phone call and excused herself.
Kabir : Aur mere liye?
Sonali : aap kaun ho?
Kabir : (acted of having heart attack) ouch! That hurts!
Saakshi : Kabir! Relax! Avi tak toh madam ne shuru vi nahi ki..aur tum..
Kabir : Kya karun! Inki nazrain tohh...loh aa gaya!
He gestured to the approaching Varun.
Varun :Can I join you?
Saakshi : No!
Sonali : Plz, Saakshi! Don't be mean..that man looks decent. ( to Varun) Plz! Sit!
Saakshi looked away.
Kabir : (to Sonali) hey, it's my favourite number, come(extended his hand to Sonali) join me for a dance.
Sonali got the hint and put her palm on Kabir's. they moved to the dance floor.
Varun : You don't like this music?
Saakshi ignored him, sipping her drink. Varun quietly waited until she finished her drink. She moved to the counter for another drink, Varun followed her.
Varun : May I?
Saakshi : (irritated) what?
Varun : Buy your drink?
Saakshi : agar tumko chahiye toh I can buy one for you...infact I can pay for all you'll have tonight.
Varun : But I want to pay for you..
Saakshi : Thanks.. I don't need it.
Varun : (Hopped inside the bar) then let me make one for you...
He took a glass from the bartender who was telling him to leave his place, he said that he'll move after 5 minutes and asked him to attend others. Saakshi was looking amusedly to all that drama. While Arjun was fuming like a live coal.
Kabir : (in mic) whoa! He has skills!
Sonali : Sasha is a supergirl, kabir..she can do anything...just wait and watch.
Varun made a fruit cocktail for Saakshi and offered her. She looked at it suspiciously.
Rathod : (in mic) Liza! Kahan ho?
Liza answered from his behind.
Liza : Sorry, sir.urgent call tha..had to take it.
Rathod : Hmm...Go to Saakshi..Varun is trying to make her drink something he made..I need a sample of it...
Liza : Ok sir.
She moved to the drinks counter. Where Saakshi as continuously insulting Varun.
Saakshi : I don't like cocktails...(to bartender) my cider plz!
The bartender passed her drink and she took it, compltely ignoring Varun. He came out of the counter and ordered a whisky for himself.
Varun : (tapping her shoulder) I think you should try mine too..itna vi bura nahi bana.
Saakshi took that glass and observed the drink. Varun was watching her reaction, while the bartender asked him something. He answered him and turned to Saakshi who was still examining the drink.
Saakshi : Ek kaam karo..khud peeke batao ke kaisa bana hain. (extended the drink to him).
Varun : Main!!
Saakshi : Haan tum...peelo aur batao tumne yeh kya banaya hain..loh..finish it.
Varun was feeling helpless under her stern gaze, that girl looked dam serious.
Aisha : (in mic)Saakshi! What are you doing!
Rathod : (in mic)Shut up Aisha! She's doing great!
Finally Varun had to lost the game, he took the glass from Saakshi and gulped the whole content in a go.
Saakshi : Hmm..seems the drink is really good! Bottom's up! Good. (she sipped her drink with a winning smile)
It was burning Varun to the core, for the first time in his life a girl had insulted him that much and now, she made him drink his special drink too. He mentally decided to take a revenge, that too tonight!
His chain of thought broke by Sonali, who just came back from the danc floor.
Sonali : I need a drink! Uff..yeh Kabir vi...
Shree took a cider from the bartender and settled on a stool. Saakshi turned to her to say something, keeping her glass on the counter, and Varun took the opportunity. That moment Liza joined them. Trio started talking ignoring Varun. He saw Saakshi took up her drink again and enjoying it.
Varun : aab toh aapki friend vi aa gayee...aab kya aap thora idhar vi concentrate karoge?
Before Saakshi could answer, DJ announced of the special performance of the night!
A spotlight dropped on the floor and the silhouette of a man appeared...he turned to the audience and Rathod almost spilled his drink. Kabir!!
Beimaan, Dil Bada Be-Imaan
Hota Nahi Aasaan Isey Hai Samjhana
Beimaan, Dil Bada Be-Imaan
Tere Liye Shaitan
Meri Naa Ek Maana
Then a lady in golden short skirt and purple top joined him. It was Nadia.
Dil Jeete Yaa Main Jeetu
Dekhungi Dekhega Tu
Lo Dil Se Sharat Lag Gaye
Mujhe Tto Teri Lat Lag Gayi, Lag Gayi
Zamaana Kahe Lat Yeh Ghalat Lag Gayi
Mujhe Tto Teri Lat Lag Gayi, Lag Gayi
Zamaana Kahe Lat Yeh Galat Lag Gayi
Mujhe To Teri Aa Aa Aa Aah Yeah
Aaa Aa Aa Aah Yeah
Aahh Aah Aa Aa Lat Lag Gayi
Mujhe Toh Teri Aa Aah Aa Aa Yeh
Aa Aa Aa Aah Yeah..
They danced with the music, in complete sink, nobody can say they didn't practiced for it. They were complementing each other nicely.
Roku Jitna Utni Bagawat Ho
Lagta Hai Aisa Haal-E-Dil Ki Tum Zaroorat Ho
Kabir came and proffered to Saakshi, but she put Sonali's hand on his. He pulled in her for another dance.
Roku Jitna Utni Bagawat Ho
Lagta Hai Aisa Haal-E-Dil Ki Tum Zaroorat Ho
Nadia wrapped her hands around Sameer from behind, startled him a bit, but he recovered quickly and joind her.
Mujhko Bhi Tu Zaroori
Tu Bhi Nashein Main Poori
O Kaisi Yeh Talab Lag Gayi
Mujhe To Teri Lat Lag Gayi, Lag Gayi
Zamaana Kahe Lat Yeh Ghalat Lag Gayi (X2)
Mujhe To Teri Aa Aa Aa Aah Yeah
Aaa Aa Aa Aah Yeah Aah Aa Lat Lag Gayi (X2)
Mujhe To Teri
Aisha-Sameer, Kabir-Sonali was dancing on the floor, Saakshi was tapping her fingers on the counter and enjoying the show, Shree was also enjoying his boss dancing. Liza was having a big time to stop herself to join the dance and looking for her for opportunity. Chotu & Arjun was scrutinizing the whole place.
Ek Tu, Ek Main, Ek Baat Hui Apni
Hairaan Hai Kyun Saara Jahaan
Jo Raat Hui Apni
Ek Tu, Ek Main, Ek Baat Hui Apni
Hairaan Hai Kyun Saara Jahaan
Jo Raat Hui Apni
This time Varun starched out his hand to Saakshi for a dance, and she just accpted it. They joined others on the floor. Varun was getting close to her with ach move and she also didn't resisted.
Mujhse Tu Aake Mila
Toh Yeh Hua Hai Sila
Ki Sau Tohmat Lag Gayi
Mujhe Toh Teri Lat Lag Gayi, Lag Gayi
Zamaana Kahe Lat Yeh Galat Lag Gayi (X2)
Liza took this opportunity and took samples from that cocktail glass, Saakshi & Varun's unfinished drinks. She sensed something is fishy with them.
Mujhe To Teri Aa Aa Aa Aah Yeah
Aaa Aa Aa Aah Yeah Aa Aa Aa Lat Lag Gayi (X2)
Mujhe To Teri...
Now Arjun couldn't take it anymore, he got up and reached the floor, grabbing Saakshi in between a twirl and took her to another corner of the pub.
Only a pair of eyes except Varun's saw it.
*********************************
Saakshi looked at Arjun quizzically when he locked her against the wall of the far corner of the pub. She wriggled to free herself from his hold, but his grip was getting tighter with her every move.
Saakshi : Arjun, leave me..
Arjun : what were you doing there? Huh! Uss Varun ki saath aise cipak ke kyun dance karr rahi thi?
Saakshi : It as just a dance, now plz...
Arjun : No..I need an explanation...
Saakshi : Leave me Arjun! I don't owe you any explanation!
Arjun : saakshi!(he shook her vigorously)
Saakshi was feeling little dizzy, she tried to look at Arjun's eyes, but it was getting blurry.
Saakshi : Oh! My! Arjun, leave me! now!
She jerked him off with all of her strength and ran towards the washroom. Arjun stared at her retreat and noticed her tottering footsteps. Now he got it, She's drugged! He followed her without wasting any minute.
