All my blood rushed to the brain, and the flow of the blood was too brisk enough to raise my blood pressure after hearing, on what Maya said. I got too depressed, after hearing it and i swiveled at her. She was sleeping, with cherry red face, and roseate nostrils, which were the backwash of weeping hard.
I went near her, glared at her for few seconds and branched down to pick up the junk tissues and thrashed those.
I sat on the bed, ending up in thinking and thinking about this girl. When i found out that i cannot sleep that night, i stood up and that's when my eyes caught up with the Mc Dowell's bottle, i had. I piled out of the bed, and moved towards the bottle and switched on the light!
Then i got settled up, on the recliner chair and freed the the bottle, and the lid of the bottle ebbed from my hand, crashed on the floor, that made enough noise to wake her up. The coruscating luminous light that i had switched on and the top of the ewer that fell down made her to wake up.
She woke up, jumped out of the couch and strode towards the privy. I, was sitting pouring in the alcohol, watching what she was doing! She then stepped out, after few seconds with wet face, stormed towards me.
'Can you switch off the lights? Please. I need some sleep! ' she mumbled in a tired voice.
I remained silent, sipping my glass of whiskey.
' Can't you hear? Swith off the lights! Do you know what the time is?! ' she requested.
' Oh? Time? ' i murmured, and pulled off the mobile from my trousers pocket, checked it and then said,' It's one thirty! '
' Okay, first of all, What's your problem? Why are you drinking?! ' she asked, with one of her hands resting her forehead.
Trust me, she was sad, she was standing in front of me, after crying a hell lot, yet her face seemed to twinkle and k****e me.
' That's none of your business! ' i replied, plainly.
' Yeah, that's only your business. For now, please switch off the lights! ' she said, gritting her teeth.
' See, i am doled, and right now i need this, so please let me! ' i said pointing out my glass.
' Seriously? So, yeah, i am doled too. Give me too! ' she said and the next second the bottle was in her hands. She gulped off, half of the bottle hastily that ended up in the great chaos in her throat and nose due to the stench, out of which she spat, the liquor out.
' Hey, what're you doing?! 'I shouted and got up from the seating. She was coughing hard, due to the intake of alcohol for the first time. I guess so. The manifestations said so.
I stood up, patted her head and grabbed the bottle from her hand. She drew it back from me, and remigrated the bottle to her lips.
'Hey, again??!! ' i cried out.
Ok, after this, the control is not with me. Let her do whatever she wants. Let her drink!
I then installed myself on the recliner, and pointed out the opposite chair and said,' Your seat! ' and laughed.
She was in the middle of total fuddle.
She then sat, infront of me.
I took out a glass for her, knowing that she would drink hard.
' Who needs a glass? ' she said and gulped the, whiskey again directly from the bottle. I was sitting, opposite to her, watching her with a meditative grimace communication. It was a sight of ardent jest and buffoonery to see the lady bug, guzzling the alcohol.
She then glared me, with an eyebrow raised and asked, 'What's your point at issue? To get depressed??!'..
' A con artist, you're. Efforting to fake out a reason, to gasp alcohol! ' she continued.
Actually, i was sitting, simply without sipping the alcohol. It was she who was gulping it, but still complains me. I giggled, tousling my lips.
' Ok, if i am fictitious, in reasoning out. What about you?! Why do you?! ' i asked trying to act smart.
As soon as, i asked this she started to howl and weep, full mouthed.
' Hold on, hold on! ' i said, even though i knew the reason for her blubbering, i cared not to talk about that which would disturb her futher more.
' Do you know what happened this morning?! ' she asked, curving and spiraling her lips, holding a baby reaction on face, rolling her puppy eyes. I shrugged my shoulders. She ployed herself to the brim of the ottoman. This very deed of her, made me giggle. She came forward a little more and repeated the same! 'Do you know?'
When i was thinking, not to discuss about what happened she started narrating what happened!
'Maya and I, went to the hospital for her health check up and then i had to go to that state craft officer, to delve for the rubber stamp and recognition! ' she said and gulped, the poteen.
' This is too much! ' i said.
' What too much?! ' she asked, ducking her head.
' Too much for today! Keep the bottle aside and tell your story!! ' i said, nuturing her health. Seriously, that was superabundant for that day.
' Hey! You!! Don't knock chip off shoulder, with me. I will drink! ' she chortled and sipped again.
' My mouth, my hands, my f*****g life and my bottle, oh yeah , only the bottle is yours. I will pay you for the bottle. ' she said and raised an eye brow.
I facepalmed, and owned the thought that, she is going to put up with a copious, burdensome hangover, tomorrow.
' Why did you wake me up now? Now, hear my story otherwise i won't let you sleep! ' she said, doodling her index finger, in front of my face. I didn't know, if i should laugh or frown. Nothing else but, this girl is a bairn.
I gestured her, to make headway.
' And then i went and met the officer! ' she said and started to sob.
' The bureaucrat. That b****y, bureaucrat! ' she lamented.
' He is demanding a colossal bag of almighty dollar! ' she said and turned to be bummed out.
' Where will I go for such a huge amount, i told him i cannot! ' and then, the waterworks didn't stop.
' And then, and then! ' she lamented. I felt much pained, because i knew what happened after that. Maya had already said, what happened. The rotten, sour public servant had whacked to kink her.
All my madness and anger, on the hellion dissolved transiently when she started yowled in front of me. I restrained, pulled back and reserved all my misery towards the debauchee, inmostly rooted.
But then it got through my ailing brain, everything of her's, in parallel had its follow up on me too. And then she found it too rocky to sermon, i guess. She swallowed up one stringy gulp and then said, ' One catastrophic day!' and then she lounged back, and drifted off. I sat there , for the odds and ends of that, nighttide.
This girl, had been stirred up much. But what's wrong with me? Where's all the selfdom and ego? Why do i eat my heart out, for her to be happy!? Why should i bustle myself?! All these third degress, held like a bulldog that ruined my sleep for that night.
I dozed off, the next day when it was about to be dawn. I woke up, only when Maya called me to check if everything was okay.
'Tarun? Is the fixins', all right?! ' Maya's voice sounded!
' Maya! You won't give credence to what i am gonna say! ' i said in a grumpy voice.
' What's wrong? Is she okay? Are you okay?! ' she asked on the spur of the moment.
' I am okay, meanwhile she is not! ' i reacted.
' Means what? You asked her something?! ' she snapped.
' Maya hold on! What am I? Nuts?? To ask her about the molestation, that she encountered yesterday! ' i said and continued!
.' Actually, yesterday when we hung up, she got up from her sleep and triggered to gulp off my alcohol! You won't trust me, half of the bottle gone empty and i was unable to withhold her. She then started telling what happened with waterworks, in her eyes. And then she dozed off after sometime. But i am sure that she will will suffer an extravagant hangover today!' i finished off.
's**t, man! ' she sounded!..
' Can you come here? To take care of her? She is still sleeping! If you're okay, in coming! ' i asked hesitantly, because that was her mid pregnancy period, she even stopped working for the company!
' Fret not! I will be there in sometime! ' she said.
' Okay, and i am starting off now! Will inform mom that she is not good. ' i said and disconnected the call.
I got dressed up after a shower, and locked the room outwards but didn't miss to glare at her, for few minutes standing nearby. She was sleeping jibing a marionette.
When i strodded down, my mom was sitting on the couch, i went towards her. 'Tarun, where is she?!' she asked as, both of us would come down together everyday, after getting ready.
'Mom, you know right? The inspector had declined to issue the licence for her building! She is little stressed because of that. She is sleeping still!' i said to my mom, with an innocent face. Also, i didn't want to let her know about the a***e, she had gone through.
'She is a grace and all good people do suffer at one stage! ' she said mercifully!
' Yes mom! Maya will join her, in sometime. I am running late. Bye! Take your tablets without fail! ' i said and started from home.
