Donzai is dancing with Mandy. Abruptly Robert pulls his hands.
“What the…!”
“What are you doing, bastard!!!”
“Dancing…”
“Are you kidding me? Where is Ravana?”
“She was here. She is probably drinking somewhere. She loves that more, you know!”
“You jerk! Look there…”
Robert points at Ben and Ravana. Donzai looks at them and pouts.
“Heh…”
“See!”
“I haven’t eaten ice-cream... No one gave me ice-cream!!”
Robert hits Donzai's head and walks angrily from there. Donzai massages his head and looks at Ben.
"Sugar baby?" Donzai mumbles.
Ravana's cheeks are as red as cherry. Ben thinks how much she has drunk!
“Do you want to dance?” Ravana asks,
“I am a waiter here.”
“So what?”
“I can't dance with you.”
“Why?”
“I am working.”
“Leave the work! I will pay you!”
Ben surprisingly looks at her.
“No.” Ben softly answers.
“Why?”
Ben doesn’t answer anymore and keeps feeding her. Ravana keeps saying, "Why, why?" like a baby.
The dance is about to end so Ben moves faster from there. He looks from afar at Ravana. She is looking at him. Ben feels kind of bad for her but he doesn’t want to ruin her image either. What will all these rich people think if they see her being cozy with a waiter!
Ben is washing his face in the washroom. When he came out of the washroom he found Ravana standing there.
“What are you doing here?” Ben wonders.
Ravana puts a hand on her mouth. Ben understands the situation and quickly takes her to the washroom.
Ravana pukes out all the champaign and ice-cream. Ben helps Ravana to get cleaned and washes her face.
“Are you feeling better now?” Ben worries.
“Ravana puts her head on Ben's shoulder and sits there closing her eyes.”
They sit there like that for a few more minutes. Ben pats Ravana's back to make her feel good.
“Why did you drink so much?” Ben comforts her.
Ravana keeps sitting down leaning on Ben.
The party ended. Donzai is looking for Ravana. He thinks that she has probably left early with Ben. He calls her but Ravana has left her phone at one table. No one picks the calls. He sends a message and leaves from there.
Ben doesn’t see anyone at the party when he returns. Ravana is still not stable. He thinks about what to do with her. He can't leave her here. He thinks about whether he should contact Robert. Then he thinks about what he said that day, "Want me to help you a bit?" Ben's body shrivers down.
“No, no I can't leave her to that horny man!” Ben mumbles.
He looks at Ravana who is sleeping like a baby. He takes her in his arms and calls a taxi. They reached Ben's place.
Ben slowly puts her on the bed. And pulls the blanket on her. He sits beside her and watches her. She is a thousand times more beautiful sleeping. He caresses her hair as she sleeps.
“I wish I could meet you in a normal situation…” He mumbles softly.
